I have been going to Jhavaunna since 2017 and have had both my parents bask in her talent! I just had to post after having multiple ppl comment on my hair after my post holiday/pre travel visit. My hair is silky, hydrated, and a web for compliments and curiosity! My trim did not compromise the overall length and brought out the movement and beauty of my hair. Jhavaunna was also nice enough to pin curl my hair to protect it from the Wizard of Oz wind that awaited me outside! She was time efficient and the ease and speed of her styling reflects her high level of skill. She also listens to all my stories without judgment (but with laughter and enthusiasm without needing to patronizingly agree) so I gladly travel 1000+ miles for her skill. So while October may have the "glory" ::wink wink::...i get a little bit of it for myself every time I visit! Go get you some girl! What are you waiting for? read more

This is not your lil friends hair shop. This is a Grown woman with over 20 years of professional experience who really knows what she's doing, loves her craft and how to take great care of hair. So the story is I booked her but didn't like the price she gave me to buy tracks/bundles for a weave I wanted. So I went and bought my own hair (cheaper) for the appointment. Big mistake . Jhavuanna schooled me on how my kinky 3c hair texture needed to match the hair when straightened and how full the hair was that she had in comparison to mine which tapered off at the ends. She explained it to me in a way that helped me understand how to make future purchases, not just tell me what I do and don't need. So of course I ended up making the investment in this hair, but for the look! It was worth it. I got a 20 inch weave with a good amount of Leaveout but enough for it to be a protective style. I'm natural for over 10 years with shoulder length hair and like natural looking styles, both pressed and curly. I am not a fan of lace fronts with all those edges ( to each her own) and my stylist gave me a very very real-looking pressed & curled style that matched my preferences. Even my close friends didn't know it was a weave until I posted a video about it. The Cambodian hair I have was well worth the price, reusable, and Has been holding up pretty well over the past few weeks. I wore this hair for a wedding and trip to Nigeria and though my own hair sweated out a few times, this hair always looked well blended from me tying it up. I made sure to not apply too much heat but it does great with a flat iron touch up and sheds very little. Will be back and highly recommend! read more

I'm so in LOVE with my October Glory Custom Unit(s)!! I had no idea a custom unit could look and feel so natural; but I've seen the GLORY!! For years, I wore a partial weave and occasionally a full sew in-- but now for the last couple of years, I've rotated between a couple of custom units made especially for me by Jhvaunna. She has full artistic freedom and always creates a unit that's perfect for me ---- from the cut to the color... it's just perfect! It's obvious that she puts a lot of care and thought into the unit but she equally continues to treat my natural hair. I have A LOT of hair and she always takes great care of my natural hair. She gives me treatments, trims my hair and makes sure I'm using the shampoo and conditioner that's best for my texture! There's a method to treating natural hair -- and J knows exactly what to do. 3 custom units later [Curly Sue, Samantha and one I haven't named yet!] I am a very, very happy client (for the last 7 years) and I highly recommend October Glory if you are looking for a stylist who is knowledgeable, caring, talented and just all around dope! Thank you Jhvaunna for being such an amazing human and stylist!! I appreciate you and highly recommend your services to anyone looking for a professional full-service salon and stylist in Brooklyn! PS. Her salon is super chic! read more

Jhavuanna has done a beautiful job helping to maintain and grow my hair. I've been seeing her for a little over 2 years now, and I've gotten several things done. Her deep conditioning treatments are to die for, my hair is always so soft. I usually do my own hair, but can never get it as soft as she does. I got a customized wig from her that SO MANY PEOPLE complimented and thought was my hair. Lol. I love her flat twist sets and my hair always looks so pretty after. And her presses are really good-- your hair will be straight, bebe! Jhavuanna is also just a really warm person and easy to talk to and be around. She's truly down to earth and despite having an ever growing and famous clientele-- she treats everyone with kindness and like you're important. Her shop is clean and well maintained and you'll feel comfortable while getting your service. Everyone is asked to sanitize their hands and wear a mask during their service and she has limited clients in the shop at a time. I can't recommend her enough! read more

I have been going to Jhavuanna for the last 15 years as she is my official hairstylist. Once she left Oakland and moved to Brooklyn, I had no problem stopping by whenever I was in town or flying to get my weaves done by her. I trust her implicitly as she respects her craft enough to stay updated on the most popular and upto date trends and techniques, and invests in improving her skills through training at least once a year. She has trained with and is certified by Stephen Moody (no relation), international trainer for Vidal Sassoon, Certified Blow Pro, Wella Color, distributor for Indique, and a host of other accolades. What I love about her is that she is sweet and down to earth, but is a genius--highly knowledgeable about all things hair! Even body hair as she is a skilled with wax as well. She is a skilled master stylist and is the perfect blend of scientist and artist. Once she gets her hands in your hair, it's like watching a ballerina float on air. She understands chemically how hair behaves, and the science to be able to manipulate it to do whatever she wants it to do. She understands all hair types, not just ethnic hair. She can give cornrows with intricate designs, two strand twist with ridiculous definition, give you the blowout of your life, correct a messed up color job or weave you up till you look like Beyoncé in the wind! She is just that damn good! When I decided to go natural, she was supportive and taught me how to care for and style my hair with little to no heat damage. When she does my weaves, they look natural!! People literally compliment me on how long, thick and luxurious my hair is! Also her weaves allowed my natural hair to grow to mid-back length! Hair cuts! She cuts hair with a straight edge razor!! Of course she finishes it off with her Japanese lefty shears, but she is like a butcher with her razor! Jhavuanna is the truth! Seriously. Go to her for all of your hair needs, you will be glad you did. read more

Let me start by saying, she does hair beautifully, I don't want this rating to be a judgement of her styling but of her customer service which is beyond awful. I'm not a prospective client, I've had my hair done by her on multiple occasions and she is not cheap by any standards nor is it cheap for me to get there because I live out of state. The first appointment I've ever had with her, she arrived late, I was standing on Ralph Ave before the salon was even open waiting on her. This last appointment I had with her was the final straw, she had to cancel (morning of the appointment) because of a health emergency-which I understand. After the cancellation, I wanted to get an idea of what to bring (how many bundles, etc) and which process would be best to get the hairstyle I want-she just stopped communicating during this time. I've spent over $1K getting my hair done by this woman and that's the level of respect she gives an actual client. I've never complained about her prices, about her lateness on the 1st meeting, etc. I wish her luck but I'll never spend another dime trekking out to Brooklyn or recommend her as a stylist. read more

I am in love! I recently went to another salon in Brooklyn that had okay ratings but was wayyy cheaper. I thought the cut I wanted was simple and no way they could mess it up, so I sacrificed quality for price. Well they did mess it up So I found Jhavuanna and fabstylist on yelp. I wish I would've just came here first bc I'm in love with my hair! She cut it exactly how I wanted and squeezed me in same day. The price was well worth my cut turning out right. I'm excited to start my natural hair journey w a super cute cut!!!! read more

October Glory Salon & Wig Spa - Wigs Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I'm so happy that Vaunna has her own spot now. She was very intentional with the design - and its nice and spacious for her to manage multiple clients. I've been coming to Vaunna for a long while and she's helped me transition from long, permed hair to long natural hair. Colors, cuts, twist outs, updos, cornrows, you name it. She's a true stylist- always learning something new in her craft. She's funny, charming and truly cares for her clientele. Plus she has yummy snacks and beverages on hand during your appointment! read more

I desperately needed to get my ends cut, and October Glory was here to save me. I was in and out of the salon in an hour (wash, treatment,blow dry, and trim). My hair feels 1000x better. I will be back again! read more

I've been to Jhavuanna a number of times for a silk press and also a custom unit. She is extremely talented and my hair always comes out amazing and naturally beautiful when I go to her. She is always very professional, timely, and if there is a conflict in her schedule (but this has only happened once since I have gone to her) she will let you know and try to accommodate you as best as she can. She also cares about the health of her customer's hair and will give you tips on how to maintain each style. I highly recommend her if you are in the NYC area. Her services are definitely worth the money! read more

October Glory Salon & Wig Spa - Silk press day 2. Curls still intact. - Wigs Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Love my new wig! This is the first wig that is not over-filled with hair (making it look fit for an entertainer) or off-colored (making it look unprofessional). This wig has just the right amount of hair so you can wear it for numerous occasions and looked pulled together, not garish. I also love that it's comfortable to wear and fits securely on my head without combs digging into the sides of my head. The hair doesn't shed like other wigs and the lace doesn't snag my hair as I put it on or take it off. This is a high-quality unit. Mind you, it doesn't come cheap, but in my opinion it is worth every penny in terms of time saved on trips to the salon, ease of maintenance and long term wearability. My hair is securely cornrowed under my unit, so there's nothing I need to do with my hair daily except to keep it moisturized and clean. It's very low maintenance which I really enjoy as I wait for my big chop to grow out. I highly recommend OCTOBERglory wigs. This is the best ever - and I've owned a lot of custom wigs. read more

October Glory Salon & Wig Spa - Looks like a good weave! - Wigs Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

This salon is AMAZING!!!! Talk about a stylist who simply "gets it" - she listens and executes. I've tried so many stylists in the NYC Area and she is by far the best! Vuanna is able to understand what each client wants and gets equally as excited as her clients. She is fast when she works while still paying attention to detail. An overall AMAZING experience with a talented stylist- I will definitely be going back! read more

Jhavuanna is a one-of-a-kind hair stylist and I trust her completely with my hair, which for someone picky like me is hard to do! I've seen a lot of posts so far from ladies who have gone natural and get their hair done by Jhavuanna, so I'm sharing my experience as someone who can't let go of the creamy-crack (lol). I go to Jhavuanna for trims and when I'm ready to weave it up for protective styles (when I want to give my hair a break and let it grow). Not only is she well trained and knowledgeable about all things hair, but she also goes the extra step by caring about what happens to my hair, which cannot be said about MANY stylists or salons in general here in NY. She will help me attain the look I want all while maintaining the utmost protection for my hair. She also meets me at an individual level and consults with me on the style(s) that look best for ME and cuts and shapes my hair that best frames my face and overall appearance. She listens and cares about my happiness as a customer, yet does not compromise her integrity or artistry with her A-list flare and dazzles me every time my hair is done! One other thing I like about Jhavuanna is that she educates me about my hair as I go along. When I want to try new things wity my hair, need help maintaining a weave or simply have questions on basic hair care, Jhavuanna always gives me the best advice, especially since I DO like to have my hair relaxed. :-) Thanks to her my hair stays strong, bouncy and full and never looks dead or limp. Jhavuanna is the best and worth every penny! If you want to look fabulous and flawless with any mane -natural, relaxed, colored, full or partial weave - then Jhavuanna's seat is where you need to be! read more

Poor customer service for prospective clients, I called 3 weeks ago and left a VM. I never rec'd a follow-up callback. read more

I previously reviewed Jhuavanna but wanted to add that she truly is a talented stylist. My color is always perfect and just the way I like it. My hair is healthy and full and feels better every time I leave the salon. Her hands are truly magic. I recommend her for all your hair care needs. read more

This is my very first yelp review. Jhavuanna has magic fingers, she made my daughter first big chop very comfortable and it came out great with many compliments from her peers. As for my cut, she is the first stylist to get my hair the way I've always wanted it to be done but no one else was capable of getting it right. Well she is the best and anyone that needs their hair right, please go check her out. It took me 2hrs to get to her and it was worth it. As for the salon everyone is very nice. It was refreshing not having anyone gossip. I will be back, customer got life. read more

Covered my grays and a trim. First day at work and received compliments all day. People kept asking me where did I get my hair done. I love going to Jhavuanna, she makes it all look easy. Thanks again!!! read more

Jhavuanna was incredible! Just moved to the Bed Stuy area and was in need of a place that could do mixed hair in a pinch. Went to Jhavuanna just asking for a basic blow dry, hair trim, and heat style and I swear I walked out with so much more! I showed her a photo of the style I wanted which almost every other stylist has butchered over the years and she nailed it! She also gave great advice on ways to treat my hair based on what I was already using. Thanks Jhavuanna I'll def be back! read more

I've been coming to Jhavuanna to get my hair done ever since I moved to the area and absolutely LOVE her services. She is extremely talented, kind and always gives good advice on what to do/how to take care of my hair. Ever since I started getting my hair done with her, it has consistently come out BEAUTIFULLY and the salon itself is very clean, comfortable and always a very enjoyable experience all round. Highly recommended!!! read more

Incredibly overpriced, quoted one thing and then ended up paying another price.

Mislead. $150 later my daughter's hair was a SMELLY/ Bush for her bday.  Price quoted was $85 for a SILK PRESS. When my daughter is at the sink to be washed, I am told $145.  When I questioned the additional cost it was for a haircut that 'MAY' be needed. No conditioning treatment ..NOTHING. Quick shampoo, blow dried, flat ironed, then trimmed. I had this service done a year ago at close a vicinity. I paid less for SO much more.. including advice for natural hair care regime/products. It lasted two weeks (wrapping hair everynight) This silk press lasted half a day and smelled so burnt. Regular blowouts  last longer. You guys were very nice/pleasant but ...Wow read more

Now this is a women who knows what she's doing. I went for a weave for my wedding and left the chair looking and feeling amazing. She's not cheap but you get the best for what you pay for. I will definitely keep going to her. The hair that she suggested felt and looked amazing and everyone was in love with it. If you need someone to do your hair come here and you won't be disappointed. I know I got me a hair stylist for life. Thank's Jhavuanna read more

I was sooo nervous about getting highlights in an unfamiliar city with unfamiliar stylists. I moved to BK from DC a year ago. I was a devout Cole Stevens follower. I religiously got my hair done every 2 weeks. I never knew my natural hair straightened could ever feel better than permed hair. Upon moving to BK as a severely underpaid resident, I tried the Dominican salons because the price was right. I quickly realized that I was damaging my hair :(. I read several Yelp reviews and ask so many people for recommendations. I made an appointment with Jhavuanna, and I was not disappointed. I can't believe how the colors are so perfect!!! My brown eyes literally pop now. I get so many compliments on my hair and my eyes :))). My silky straight, natural hair is back!! I'm so impressed! read more

Love love love! If you're looking for a one-stop-shop for all your hair care needs, this is the spot for you! Natural, relaxers, weaves, cuts, color...they specialize in it all! I've been on a real struggle search to find a solution for growing out my relaxed pixie cut and transitioning back to my natural texture. Jhavuanna introduced me to the October Glory Units and I'm NEVER going back to sew-in weave installments again! It's literally made my life so much easier with pulling a wig on that looks so natural and you would think it was a sew-in. It's worth the investment ladies! Trust me. Your hair will thank you for the protection. read more

It was my first time visiting Fabstylist and Jhauvanna made my experience the very best ever. I have been to salons where you spend so much time and money and have to fight for the stylists attention to do your hair amongst other clients as well as battle their tudes like theyre doing you a favor. Not the case here at all, J was super attentive and made you feel valued and comfortable throughout the process. Im a newby to the weave game so she really explained everything to me and i left feeling confident i would be able to maintain and care for my hairstyle. She is super sweet very down to earth and such a doll, by the time i left she felt like family. Hunty i came in looking like who done it and left feeling runway fierce!!! Its not your average wash and style but lenme tell you, you get what you pay for and for those super talented hands it was well worth it. I love love love this salon now i see what all the rave reviews were about im a forever customer. read more

I've been coloring my hair for years and tried many different stylists from neighborhood saloons to high end saloons. I was never completely satisfied with the outcome of my hair color, so I decided to stop coloring my hair. A year or so went by and I wanted to color it again. So I did a ton of research to find someone to color it. I came across Jhavuanna on Yelp and decided to give her a try about 3 weeks ago. BEST DECISION EVER!!!!! She was so professional and knowledgeable about the process. She was sweet and easy to talk to. She really listened to what I wanted done and let me know how I could achieve the look I was going for. She was attentive the entire time. She let me know everything she was doing why she was doing it. She didn't push any other services on me and there were no surprise cost either like I've experienced at other saloons. My hair looked amazing. It wasn't hard or dry. I started off with just about black hair and she took me all the way to blond with great highlights. After the long process my hair looks so healthy. I couldn't have asked for a better outcome. Some may think the prices are excessive but if your accustomed to having your hair colored in the manner I do you know it's right on par. There are just somethings you can't skimp on if you want it done right. I've gotten so many compliments on my hair. I'm certainly going back to her and would recommend her to everyone!!!!!! I wish I took pictures right after I had it done the ones I have are just ok. read more

After a disastrous experience with a previous install, I sought out Jhuvaunna out of sheer desperation. I had really lost hope in so-called "professional stylist". After some much needed hair TLC, the install was flawlessly laid. I am in awe of her skill and expertise. I will definitely be returning to her for future natural and slayed services. read more

The price that I spent at this salon was worth the results. I had entered into a facility where the hair stylist was very knowledgeable about not only hair care but styling and maintenance. Honestly I would recommend this place to anyone- they are able to handle all hair types. read more

I love sharing when it's worth it. I received the "red" carpet treatment today and will definitely be back. This is as good as it gets! All hands down if you care about your hair then go to Jhavuanna Moody for all your haircare needs, she will not disappoint you. Jhavaunna is a one of a kind hair stylist. She provided outstanding customer service, was very personable and gave me exactly what I wanted not what she wanted me to have. She was extremely attentive and slayed my full sewn weave with a highly undetectable closure. Worth every dime spent $$$. What a wonderful experience - thank you Jhavaunna for putting your clients first!! read more

I had a great 1st experience with Jhavuanna at Fabstylist. Prior to seeing her she responded to all my emails about my questions and concerns for my hair needs in quick manner. When I arrived at the salon, I felt very comfortable. Jhavuanna explained and gave me suggestions of what I could get done throughly. As I was getting my hair done, she also explained what she was putting in my hair and why, step by step. Jhavuanna is very professional and friendly as well as the other stylists there. I was very and overly pleased with the results of my hair. I received tons of compliments. I had a custom wig done and my natural hair treated. It is very pricey $$$ but you do get what you pay for I must say. And I will go back. Thank you,Jhavuanna ! read more

Jhavuanna is awesome. She responded to my initial email almost immediately as I was requesting a same day appointment (which I was able to get because a client cancelled at the last minute). She was patient with answering all my questions prior to my arrival as I was unsure of some things. When I walked into the salon I was greeted with a smile. She explained the process and treatment that she gives prior to the weave which was appreciated. I recieved a full weave with some hair out and I could not be happier. She was so professional from start to finish. My head does not hurt from the braids as I am tender headed and my hair style is beautiful. She gave me exactly what I asked for, and gained herself another happy customer. Thank you Jhavuanna, I appreciate you!!!!!! read more

I love what Jhavuanna has done to my hair!! My appointment was for 2:30pm on a Sunday. She started at 2:38, fantastic! I was greeted with a warm smile and she asked me if I had a picture of exactly how I wanted my sew-in done. Jhavuanna began braiding my hair with small, neat, braids and periodically checked in to make sure they weren't too tight, they weren't. She used a net to secure my hair and further lay a flat foundation for the sew-in. Jhavuanna took her time to sew down my closure neatly, and not too tight. Within about 2.5-3 hours, my sew in was complete (closure and 2 bundles of hair), and definitely not rushed, she is just very experienced and can obviously do this with her eyes closed. Jhavuanna cut my hair with professional tools (i pay attention to things like this), into fringe bangs and soft layers around. Today i am at work with my new do and receiving compliments left and right. Yesterday was my first time meeting Jhavuanna and I must say it was a great experience, which doesn't usually go hand in hand with visiting a hair salon on the weekend... Thank you Jhavuanna! read more

If I could give this woman 100 stars I would. I don't often post on YELP but when I do it's either really bad or really good. Jhavuanna is a hair GODDESS!! Today was my first time going to get my hair done by her. I called her in the morning and although extremely booked she accommodated me. When I walked in the salon it was the usual Saturday bustle, she greeted me very nicely. I could see that she was extremely busy but again she managed to fit me in while she was washing, styling, wrapping, weaving (yes she does it all). Anyway I got a partial weave, my sides and nape are cut low. I was worried because the hair that I brought with me was still damp from coloring and washing it. She was like "I still smell the color in the hair, I'm going to re-wash it and dry it"!! WOW!! Most stylists would have been like "whatever". She even made sure that the hair that wasn't mine was taken care of. Her braids are neat and concise, her weaving technique is sick!!! No lumps or bumps! SHE LISTENS to what you want!! She's personable and sweet, a consummate professional. She tells you how much it is prior to sitting down. Remember you get what you pay for and Jhavuanna is worth it!! read more

I cannot say enough kind things about Jhavuanna and my October Glory unit. I am IN LOVE with it and cannot walk past a reflective surface without stopping to look at myself first!! My unit looks so natural, and Jhavuanna took the time to listen to my needs and execute them perfectly. I told her I had never had color in my hair before but wanted to try, and she gave me the most incredible subtle chocolate highlights throughout. I have purchased a couple of units from other people in the past, but none compare to my October Glory unit and the number of compliments I have gotten so far. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Jhavuanna! Customer for life! read more
