I’ve used Jay before when he worked somewhere else, and for the last year I’ve been going to his new shop. He is always very, very professional and polite, has a lot of time for me, gives good suggestions, and I leave the salon perfectly happy. He speaks English and Spanish, advises me on what good shampoo and things to buy, and it’s easy to schedule with him and he always comes on time. Price feels fair.

I’ve been going to Jay for years for highlights and all my color, and I still travel back just to see him because he’s the only one I trust. He’s a perfectionist and won’t let you leave until it’s perfect, and he even squeezed me in after hours one Saturday and later redid my party extensions for free at his place to make sure they were spot on. He speaks English and somehow knows when I want to chat and when I just want quiet, which I love. It isn’t cheap, but the service is above all else and totally worth it.

I usually go to Jay to do my hair and to cut the fine part of the hair, and recently I had my hair dyed. The result was very nice. Jay is very professional and very familiar, makes you feel comfortable - it’s almost like a therapy because you relax and speak about life, and he gives me good advice. For me it’s more about the very good quality he provides than the price, so I’m good with it.
