Great Place!

by neworleansstudent

This is a great hair salon. It offers students discounts and it is located in a very convenient location. I don't know what's up with the two negative comments I just read, because I have never seen the salon dirty or poorly lit. At least not at the location on St. Charles. I get amazing highlights and the haircuts look exactly like the pictures I bring in...sometimes even better. People always compliment me on my haircut and I would recommend this salon to all my friends.

• Pros: clean, friendly staff, always satisfied with color and haircut
• Cons: closed on mondays

Disastrous Do

by mayonegg

Let me begin my stating that I created an account for the sole purpose of writing this review. I've had a few not so great haircuts in the past, but none so horrid as this. First of all, I was treated as if my haircut didn't matter. The place was packed (and dingy). Also, I went in for a trim and was very clear/explicit about this. However, I left with very short hair. He cut off over six inches! Why did he even ask me what I wanted if he was just going to do whatever he pleased? Additionally, he didn't even dry my hair himself but had an assistant do it. It was so ugly I cried as soon as I got out of the door.

• Pros: None
• Cons: Dirty, Poor Service, Horrible Cut

john jay= nightmare

by sarah778

i have never written a review for anything, but i had such a horrible experience at john jay (similiar to the one above), that i had to write about it. all i wanted was to lighten my hair a little bit, first they stripped the color from my hair (this took hours and was a huge knotted mess afterwards) then poured toner all over it. My hair came out orange, fried and destroyed. they refused to refund my money and never even returned my phone call after i was assured mr jay would call me back. The salon is dirty, poorly lit and overpriced. I ended up spending another 100$ to fix the damage that was done. The place that i went to could not believe what she had done and how they let me walk out with my hair like that, let alone charge me. I do not reccomend this place, it doesnt even deserve one star.
