Let me start with saying I absolutely adore My Caribbean sisters when it comes to hair. I've always…read moregone to a Dominican Hair Salons, because they just know! I just moved to the area and was in desperate need for a good cut to bring back my curl pattern. My last cut was not so good, so needless to say I was super happy to find Jalena's via Yelp, and being only 13 minutes from me, win win!!!
They take walk ins and there is metered parking in the front. I went on a Tuesday, and found a spot right in front. The place is neat and comfy. They only take cash, but they do have an ATM in the back.
I had stopped in The previous Saturday to get a feel for the place and they were very busy. I asked for the curl expert because I have really fine curly hair which can get frizzy, and if not cut properly look awkward. I was guided to Elizabeth and so finally on Tuesday, today, I got to see her to fix this mess lol.
The salon was pretty empty which I liked, and they get you in the shampoo chair as soon as you get in. This was one of THE best shampoos I have gotten, albeit a bit rough, but it sure gets all that product residue out. Their products smell AMAZING!!! This day I got the perk of a free heat deep conditioner, which I welcomed happily. They were a bit short staffed so that was the perk and I didn't mind waiting. This hair needed some love!
While I was under the dryer I saw Evelyn work on some people and she is efficient and knows what to do with all hair types. I watched her put in some extensions and they were flawless. I was excited to be next! She asked me what I needed and I explained my last hair cut wasn't layered enough. She went in, worked her magic and immediately I felt my curls bounce back! Just with a good cut! She asked me first the length prior to cutting and I was happy with her suggestion. I had to get back to work so I didn't have time for a blow out, but she put some product in my hair, clipped it up and stuck me under the dryer so the curls can have some form.
All I can say is GRACIAS BELLA!!! She was efficient, attentive, sweet, and knowledgeable!! I have a wedding to go in a few weeks and most certainly will be back to get it styled. I am so happy to have found Jalena's, just look at my smile! Best part rates are reasonable!!
Go, wait if you must, but so worth it! Happy hair days!!
