J & E Hair Salon inc — Local services in New York

I really need a haircut and they take walk-ins so I decided to try them out. They have an affordable new customer discount (I think is was around $70 for a shampoo, cut, and style) which was a nice bonus. The salon is pretty bare bones design-wise. They were playing opera on the speakers which I liked but I know isn’t for everyone. My hair is straight and pretty low maintenance so I figured the stakes are low. But as my stylist was trimming my bangs she took out a thinning shears and thinned halfway up my forehead without asking me or giving a heads up. I had no chance to object- she just went ahead and did it so there was nothing I could do so I didn’t complain or make a fuss. It’s not like she could reattach the hair to my head. But it made my bangs way too piece-y and was uneven (thinner on the left side). This was weeks ago and I still need to intentionally style them to cover up the thinning. It is immensely frustrating that a stylist would do something that drastic without checking with a client- especially with the hair smack dab at the front of the face. The salon needs their stylists to be more communicative- this was such an easy problem to avoid. For that reason I won’t be...

The staff were polite so I’m giving 1 star. In terms of the quality of the hair cut I received - I have short hair (pixie) and came in for a clean up and had a picture of how I wanted it to look. My hair was butchered is to put it mildly and it is very apparent the individual cutting my hair had no clue as to what she was doing. It would be funny if it wasn’t my hair and I didn’t have to go out in public for a month while I wait for this disaster to grow out. I am sure these people may be skilled in long hair and coloring...Maybe. But they do not know how to cut a pixie. Besides the completely hacked and uneven “bangs” in the front, my hair is now so short I won’t be able to get it fixed for at least a few weeks. Do not go here if you are a woman with a pixie or wanting a pixie. And to the owners/operators - please do not take a job you don’t know how to do. If I had been turned away, I would have still recommended them to a friend for...

I finally got a cut after two years. So happy I found this place. From when I entered they were welcoming and professional. Jun talked to me before, during, and after the cut to ensure I got what I want for my hair. He shared all the steps and reasoning during the cut and also ways I can style after the cut (he asked what I do typically & gave suggestions to complement it). Before the cut, he made sure to discuss with me options so I get what I want for my hair and he made sure to ask me before taking the first snip which gave me many opportunities to communicate with him all that I should be. I will 100% be coming back here. They also clearly have a presence in the community as people came in to ask them questions about their hair appointments, even style ideas, and one person came in who is a regular with...
