John Jay Beauty Salons
3 reviews for John Jay Beauty Salons
Caveat: I am so hesitant to give away my secrets- well not really. I've got to say, I love capitalism, and because of that I think you too should have the power of knowledge.
John Jay is a little more expensive than what I am accustomed to. However, Neomi, is totally worth it. I have received excellent hair cuts from her. I only see her a few times a year but when I leave I feel great. Sometimes I bring in pictures of people's hair that I have ripped out of magazines and she teaches me how to recreate the hairstyle. Now, that is love. When I had to get my eyebrows waxed, a terribly unfortunate experience, the woman doing them was well trained. She also made sure that it didn't hurt. How that was possible? I am not really sure. Because I am an absolute whimp.
John Jay is worth every penny.
The only downfall to this place, well the biggest downfall, is that they charge for hair drying after color--is this new york?? even in new york i would pay a fortune but at least a blowout was included! my hair colorist left, alison, but she was AWESOME! this was the only place in nola that would leave me absolutely satisfied with my color, without any roots! they do some sort of root lifter they leave on your hair after washing out the color, and its AMAZING! it reeks, and you have to sit there holding your breath for about 5 minutes, but totally worth going (and leaving with dripping hair to dry yourself and save $30!)! the decor is pretty poor, it looks like a cheap mens barbershop or something, but the coloring is great.
that said, my friend got her hair colored here and had a disaster, but i think they would have fixed it had she complained..
I give 3.5 stars for John Jay. From what I hear, you are much less likely to get a mullet here than, say, supercuts on carrolton. Although to be honest, I probably would have risked a mullet if John Jay wasn't offering 1/2 off cuts for students! With that discount it was ~$16 before tip for my cut.
