I am very particular about my hair, moving to NC three years ago, I have been looking for a good stylist...and I just found one!!!! :):) I have thick and curly hair, this is a salon that I would give 10/10. Jamal is excellent, a seasoned stylist that I would highly recommend. Great hospitality, he offers great advice, is patient and very detailed, takes his time for a perfect color, cut and blow out. Thank You Jamal you have one very happy client!!
I have searched high and low for 6 years since moving from San Francisco for a stylist as talented as Jamal is. He fixed a HORRIBLE highlight and haircut from another stylist and turned it into the most beautiful multi- dimensional color and razor cut. He stayed late to make sure that he got my color just right and was so meticulous in highlighting, blending and layering my hair. I live in Durham and will gladly drive to Cary to have him take care of my hair from here on out. He has a customer for life! Thank you Jamal for making me feel stylish again 🙌🏽
I have been coming to Jamal for nearly 8 years to get my hair cut. He always does an excellent job with my hair care. He is a true professional and has always treated me with kindness and respect. With business travel I sometimes have a tight schedule and Jamal is always flexible with his time to get me in his shop so I can leave town knowing I look my best.
I’ve been going to A1 hair salon for 7 1/2 years now, and have never once been disappointed in how Jamal does my hair. I have stubborn coarse hair that turns gray every 4 weeks and Jamal is a miracle worker!! My husband sees Jamal too amd we’ve been so pleased. Jamal bends over backwards to fit us in his busy schedule. He is warm, generous, and a great conversationalist. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great cut/color - male, female, child. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed!! He’s the best and a master at what he does!
I love A1 Salon and the talents of Master Stylist and owner, Jamal. I have been going to his salon for the last few years and he never disappoints. I just got a haircut today and I don’t ever have to suggest a thing because he knows my hair and what I want in a cut and style.I recently burnt my hair by accident on a faulty curling iron. I called Jamal up and told him what I did, his words to me were, come in and I’ll fix it for you. Again, a great haircut. It’s been two months since I burnt my hair and now with today’s haircut, my hair is back to it’s fabulous condition. Thank you, Jamal for always a great day at your salon.When you visit A1 Salon, you are treated with the utmost professional care. If you are looking for a new salon, check out Jamal. I highly recommend.
I have been going to A1 Salon for years. Jamal never disappoints. His hours of business are very good and the experience is something you not find anywhere else in the triangle region or even further.
I moved up to the Cary area about six weeks ago and during that time I spent countless hours googling and researching for a great stylist. I have an autoimmune disease so my hair has gotten incredibly thin and the gal I had in Florida always did such a great job that I was really nervous about finding someone new here.I read hundreds of reviews and looked at as many pictures from salons in or around the area.A1 Salon was the one I kept coming back to because of the great reviews about Jamal. My hair was looking so drab and I just couldn’t do anything to make it look good so I made the decision to call A1. Jamal answered the phone so no need to go through a receptionist. He wasn’t at the salon at that moment but assured me he would call back within 15 minutes. He actually got back quicker than that and was able to get me in the next day. I had no pictures to show him because I couldn’t find anything that was close to what I wanted so all I told him was I needed it to look fuller and be on the trendy side. He said he knew immediately when I walked in what I needed so I just put it in his hands...literally. He gave me the best haircut I have had in my life...he did exactly what I had in mind and truly an artist at what he does! I was amazed at how full and healthy my hair looked and actually felt beautiful. He is also extremely kind and the special treat of tea and homemade baklava his wife makes was just wonderful!! If you are looking for a great stylist and one who actually listens please call Jamal. I’ve done all of the research for you and trust me you won’t be disappointed!!! I’m so happy I decided to choose him...thank you Jamal for your kindness and for the amazing haircut!! I absolutely love it and I’ll be back!
Have been going to Jamal for the past 6 years and have never had a bad experience! Jamal works hard, is professional, does what you ask of him and is a great conversationalist. I highly recommend him!
Falsely advertised open hours till 8PM on Google. When I got here at 6.45PM on a Saturday, they were closed. There was a sign on the door saying closed at 6. See attached photographs. I have no sympathy people who waste other peoples time. I could have gone to a different salon in the time I took to drive down here.
LOVED the haircut!! I was little apprehensive since it was my first time here but it was definitely worth it. He styled my hair exactly the way I had thought of. One of the best since I moved from India. He was very flexible with the timing and it was very easy to get an appointment with him.Definitely visiting this place again.
This place gives me the vibe when my dad use to take me to a haircut when I was a kid. Haircuts are clean, stylish, and done by a person who’s experienced over time.
Had a fantastic experience. He is by far THE best hair stylist. No matter what I ask for or picture I show him, he is spot on. Highly recommend!!!!! 10 out of 10 for sure!!!
Just realized that i have been Jamals customer for a few years but never made a review. Me and my wife both visit Jamal for our hair cuts and we always had a great experience and the result was consistently superb. We are not able to get the same result anywhere else and will continue coming here. Also the delicious tea he serves is very welcoming!
BEST HAIR CUT I’VE EVER GOTTEN!!! Jamal was amazing- he took his time after I showed him a picture of what I wanted and he not only recreated it but made it the exact hair style I’ve always wanted. He also served me some amazing tea and a baklava treat- so yummy!! Oh, and I also was able to get a same day appt which is difficult to do in the area. I’ll definitely be going back!!! Thank you so much!!
Best haircut ever! With Jamal, I finally found a hairstylist/color expert that actually knows what they are doing. For the first time in a good number of years, I am happy with my hair. Style is great, color is beautiful. (I have resistant gray roots, but they are gorgeously covered now.) I have gone to Jamal now for about four months, and I plan to stay with him. My husband was uncomfortable regarding no longer being able to go to his barber/stylist after so many years in San Francisco, but he says he is VERY happy with Jamals work. In fact, it was my husband that suggested that I go to Jamal. Good decision.
A wonderful experience as the last customer on Cbristmas Eve. Jamal was superior and I couldnt have asked for a more attentive gentleman. His expertise was my gain and he gave me a new hairdo to boot!! Thank you, Jamal.
Jamal was amazing! It’s always a little nerve wracking going to a new hair dresser, but I am so happy I found this gem! He listened and did wonders to my hair that definitely needed some post quarantine TLC.
I was incredibly impressed by my haircut this afternoon. The barber/owner was very kind and diligent in his work. I brought in a picture as a guideline, and he worked his magic. In fact, I think his haircut was even better than the picture! The hot tea and baklava were nice touches, too. I’ll be returning!
Jamal is a very professional stylist who knows the art of hair styling. I have been coming to him to get my hair styled for 4 years. He is easy to get appointments with and is flexible. I love my look and hair.Still a 5 star rating to Jamal. He is a fantastic hair stylistic. Love coming back to him again and again
Jamal was incredible! He fit me in the same day, and I love my hair cut! He did a great job with layering and gave styling tips. I would absolutely go back!
Best hair care Ive ever had. One man shop, cuts men or womens hair (hes THAT talented!)
Jamal is by far the best hairstylist for both men and women. Listens to what you want and delivers, is kind and always serves the best tea. You won’t regret passing by
Amazing service and very professional I really love my hair. Jamal is very talented! The prices are very reasonable :) Extremely happy with the results.
Jamal is great. I’ve been going to A1 salon for 5 years and he always does a great job. Now my son also goes to A1 salon for his haircut and he doesn’t want anyone else to cut his hair. Thanks Jamal for doing a great job.
We love Jamal! He has been cutting our hair (myself, my husband and my 3y.o. son) since we moved to the area and has never disappointed! He’s incredibly warm and great with kids! I’d give him more stars if I could.
Ive been hoping from one hairdresser to the next for the past 15 years. Jamals skills are comparable to none in the area. My whole family goes to him and only him now.
Jamal is an absolutely amazing cutter of hair but an even more wonderful person. My wife and I were in Cary for other reasons and decided to see if we could get a haircut. Now I am a Great Clips kind of guy who doesnt really care what happens to my head as long as the hair is shorter when I leave than when I enter.My wife on the other hand is on the opposite end of that spectrum and is VERY picky about her hair.When we called Jamal was full for the day but when he found out we were from Durham he said he would stay open late for us and would cut our hair!What a phenomenal experience! Not only did we both get the best haircuts we had ever had (I am 59 so that is a LOT of haircuts) but he made us Lebanese coffee (superb) and served us homemade Baklava (delicious). All of this after closing time after having already cut hair for a solid 8 hours. Incredible,!We will be returning for our haircuts long into the future.
After tried 2 hair stylist, I didnt like them until we moved again, I found a1 salon on Google due to location change, it has great reviews so I tried it out. Im NOT disappointed, Jamal, the owner, did an excellent job. He gave me exactly what I want. Its not easy to give me a good style because of my thin hair. But Jamal did it. The salon is neat and clean, Jamal is fast and really good. The best part of him is he doesnt want to sell you products that he doesnt think right for your hair. I asked him about any product to add up volumes, he said no, dont want to harm my hair roots. Although Jamal is fast and for some people might be not-so- fancy service. But you get exactly what you want. Very straightforward and fast. I definitely will come back again because I think I finally found the hair stylist I like. Jamal, thank you for giving me a great new look. And if you are an Asian or with thin fine hair, tired of hair salon screw up your hair because the stylist is not familiar with Asian hair, give Jamal a try, you will not disappoint.
I recently moved to the area and was on the hunt for a great hairstylist. I came across A1 after researchig top salons in Cary. After having a cut and highlights done at A1, i must say i am not disappointed. Jamal is the owner and main stylist at this salon, he is absolutely amazing. He loves what he does and it shows in the results. His services are top notch! He is so friendly and explains each step so you know and understand what is happening. A bonus, he offers tea and fresh European treats while you are waiting. Ive definitely found my salon in Cary.
A1 salon is truly one of the most phenomenal hair salons out there. You guys are so lucky to have Jamal in your area. I have been going to Jamal for over 10 years in Michigan and I am always pleased with the results. I would only go to Jamal to get my hair done but now that he has moved i had to look elsewhere. He is really missed here for his extraordinary work. He does an amazing job with styling hair, especially when it comes to designs and anything that has to do with intricate details. I highly recommend coming here!
Ive been going to A1 Salon with my son for almost 2 years now. Jamal is extremely talented, very personable, and appreciative. He always makes us coffee or tea and serves us a delicious homemade pastry. Every one of his clients Ive met truly enjoy going there. I always recommend him. My neighbor recently started going and said his cut is the best hes had in the Triangle!
Jamal is the best! He is an expert colorist. An amazing knack for finding the right color and cut for your face and skin tone. And I must say.... his blow-dry technique is the best Ive seen in over 40 years of hair styling. Not to mention a very reasonable and affordable price!This another review on A1 Salon. I have enjoyed being Jamals client for 9 months and am so happy with his service. He is an expert colorist. He took my yellowey pale blond to a perfect color. He knows exactly what the best color is for your face and skin tone. My only fear he will get so busy as a new stylist in the area that I wont get my exact appointment time! :) FIVE STARS!!!!!!
Been going here for a while, and I can tell you. I have never been disappointed. Recommend to anyone every time.
Expertise. Precision. You will leave this salon feeling like a million. I used to go to sport clips and felt ok after each haircut. A1 is like no other though, Im 25 and barley can pay rent. I will gladly spend my time and well earned money here for a fresh new cut and look. Time after time. Genuine guy and perfect cut
Very Excellent service. No wait time. My hair always looks great when I come here!
I’ve always had very good experiences at this salon. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone.
The owner Jamal is a perfectionist, and clearly takes pride in and enjoys his work. He has the calm manner of a master of his profession, and intuitively knows what to do to make you look your best. For a mens haircut, he will also tidy up your beard at no extra charge. The quality of the cut is superb.
Every time i come to this Salon, i go back home happy with a very good mood and very nice work. Mr Jamal is very talent in hairs. He knows what could work for my hair and my style.Other than his talent, he is so friendly, he offers coffee or tea and pastry (homemade from his wife).He believes in God and prays every week, and care about every person come to his salon.Some times i see his girls at the salon, they try to help him. He has very nice family too.Really thank you Jamal you made my day today, God bless you and your family.
Jamal is an amazing artist and always gives you a cut that will match you. I leave feeling like a new man every time. Well worth every dollar.
I am not the best when it comes to taking care of my hair. Im cheap - Ill admit it. BUT Id rather wait and have Jamal cut/style my hair than go to any other place. Salons are NOT all the same. Jamal is a MASTER and can take dry, naturally curly hair that tends to look blah and make it beautiful! His coloring is so natural looking too. My first cut/color, another customer was there who used to be a beautician. SHE said once she saw him mix his color she knew he knew what he was doing - you cant get much better affirmation than from a peer!So, long story short - in the past 3 years Jamal at A1 Salon is the ONLY one to cut my hair! He is personable, experienced, and comfortable to around. (I read the reviews that gave him only 1 star and I have to wonder what they were thinking!)
My whole family comes to this salon... Whether you have long hair or short hair this is the place to go! Ive tried five other places in the area in search of a great haircut but A1 is the only place that gets it consistently perfect.
Ive been coming to this salon for over a year now, and even though I just moved from Cary, I still make the long drive to A1 salon and wont let anyone else cut my hair. Jamal is a great guy, and always offers tea, sweets, and interesting conversation, and most importantly, hes an excellent hair stylist. As a guy, its a welcome change from the mens salons that I personally find pretty degrading.
Jamal has cut my hair for over three years now. Also does my wifes hair. Hes a great guy and extremely talented. My wife has never stayed with a stylist more than a year or so, dont believe shell ever change, neither will I!
Superb. We live in California but have family in Cary. We always wait to get our hair cut here!Youll be provided with freshly brewed tea and homemade sweets. Highly recommended.
Jamal does a great job styling my hair. I frequently receive compliments on it, and its so easy to maintain! If he offers you a cup of tea, be sure to say yes, its a real treat.
Just had a haircut here, moved from NY and have not found a single good place in NC until now. Finally someone reliable, who takes their time and does quality work. Its a new place, but its now my one and only spot to get haircuts. I highly recommend this spot and will be returning here myself from now on.
Been coming here two years. Very consistent and well styled hair cut. Have referred multiple friends as well and everyone is as happy as me.Great tea and pastry as well!
Jamal is wonderful! He is a master at his craft and a fine businessperson. His prices are very reasonable and after my first visit I left looking 10 years younger! Great cut and color, and very easy to maintain. So glad to have found him! Tip: try to get a weekday appointment because you just might get him all to yourself. What a treat!
I have been going to A1 Salaon for almost 4 years now and have never had a bad haircut! Jamal is always able to accommodate me, is always friendly with a cup of tea or coffee (which taste amazing). I get so many compliments on my hair and it has never felt healthier than after he cuts it. My hair is very straight and no one has ever cut it so well.
A1 is A1! They deliver great men’s cuts. I am allergic to most colors, but they found the perfect allergic free color. Great service and great cut. Thank you, A-1.
Jamal is masterful at cutting and coloring hair and at a very reasonable price. He always serves delicious hot tea and homemade pastries in a very relaxed setting with beautiful music. I have never seen or heard him be rude to anyone!
It was a nice fist time experience, Gamal is an excellent hair stylist. I got excellent hair cut with a blow dry. Amazing hospitality. Will come back for sure. Recommended him highly
Jamal is a very nice man and my teenage daughter really likes him and his styling quite a lot. She has respect for him running a small business and he obviously takes pride in himself, his salon and he is the sweetest man ever (which is something if a 15 yo noticed this!) He is very professional and treats her kindly and professionally as does a man with daughters of his own.
Jamal is a true artist. He is a Master of Color, Cut, and Style. The best! Highly recommended. Ive received so many compliments. I wont go anywhere else.
Jamal is great. After my first visit I didnt even need to remind him on my preferred style. He also has some fantastic treats to offer and a Turkish tea that I sometimes crave. Tried other places around DT Cary, and wasnt satisfied. A1 is the place.
I have discovered Jamal a few months ago and have been very happy with his performance since.The quality of work is much better than similarly priced hairdressers in the area. He does not only cut my hair well, but also recommends new things that work great for me.I am very glad to have met him, and hope to remain his customer for many years to come.
My daughter was finally going to get her hair cut! A1 Salon was convenient and we thought wed try there. I read a couple of reviews and she went in. She showed Jamal a picture for all of about 30 seconds. He knew exactly how to apply that haircut to my daughter; exclaiming I will make you a model! He treated her so very kindly. There is no doubt of his skills. The man is indeed an artist. I sat waiting and was amazed. The results were incredible! She looked BETTER than a model. Im jealous and will be making time for ME very soon!
A1 Salon is the most amazing! I have been going to Jamal (the owner) for years here and Michigan and I can not find a hair stylist that is any where near as good as him!! He moved to North Carolina and I will be making a special visit just for my hair cuts and coloring. One of the best places I have been to. Very professional and Hospitable, just a great experience over all.
Jamal is great. Ive been going to him for almost a year and have had several great haircuts and highlights! He is great about in-between bang trims also. He is so nice and friendly. Highly recommend!
My dad and bother always go to this salon and they only ever have nice things to say about their experience!!! I also got a green hair dye here a couple years back and it turned out great. Love this salon.
I come back every time I need a haircut! He is the best. Never disappointed🤗
Moved from PA and wasnt sure where to go so my hair wouldnt get butchered....love this salon have just popped in a few times around 4:30-5:00pm and he has always found time to slip me in....
Jamal is a magician. It was my first hair cut in the area and its already one of the best cuts I ever had. Thank you Jamal. 5 Stars all the way!
Great service. Gives a very flattering haircut and style. Very professional.
I am a male and went I went to A1 Salon to get a hair cut. Normally, I go to Cost Cutters or Sports Clips, but wanted to give this place a shot after eating at the Jersey Mikes in the strip center.I went in and there was no wait. There is a Middle Eastern guy, named Jamal, who you can tell loves what he is doing and is very good at it. He says that he has been cutting hair for nearly 30 years now.Because it was my first visit to the salon and the day was slower for him than expected, he also trimmed my beard and shaved my neck/face (other than the beard itself). I was blown away. At first, I was hesitant to let someone use a straight razor on my neck or face, but after seeing the results and how clean he made me look, Im hooked. My beard looked great, the lines were incredible and my hair cut was fantastic.Lastly, before leaving, Jamal styled my hair. While I dont typically style my hair (other than dry it with a towel and comb it with a brush afterwards), Jamal made my hair look great. My wife loved it and I looked great for the big meeting that I was attending later that evening.I will definitely be going back to get my hair done in the future. Depending on the price, I will also go back from time to time and have Jamal shave my neck/beard. He explained that he is a licensed barber and has done this for many years.I was thoroughly impressed.
My haircuts I get here are wonderful. Service is great. He does an awesome job cutting and styling to my request. I am a repeat customer.
Love this place. I finally found someone who can cut my hair the right way. I have thick and coarse hair. I can manage my hair after a haircut and style it
Jamal is amazing, this is my first time in here and I love my hair cut I will be coming back!!!!, he is fast, courteous and definitely he knows what he is doing!! I fully recommend A1salon. Thanks jamal!!!
Jamal is truly amazing!!! I have not ever been treated so professionally and expertly. He is truly a master with my hair and attending to every detail!! I will never go anywhere else!
I love this salon. I live in TX. While visiting in Cary, NC my mother told me about this salon and the talented hair dresser Jamal. Im so glad i went. I did Highlights, hair cuts, style and i loved all of them. Jamal knows exactly what he is doing. I would highly recommend him.
Jamal is an amazing artist and always gives you best haircut that would match you best hair color. Well done Jamal!!
Ok- Jamal knows hair. It becomes clear very quickly that he is gifted. He can see how you can look your best, then he gets to work! Do yourself a favor and get your hair done here. The jasmine tea was pretty awesome, too. Shookran, Jamal!
I always have the hardest time finding a stylist who can deal with my long, thick hair even at fancy salons. Jimal is a true professional who knows hair and really can style, color and cut. I wont go anywhere else.
So much better than waxing! Get your hair removal done by Urvi. She does this technique called threading. Its a 100% improvement from old fashioned waxing and it removes the hair so much more efficiently. She is very pleasant and knows her craft very well. You should try it and youll never go back to waxing again!
Jamal was great hair cut and great service . I love it.
First time there, haircut was excellent, Jamal is such a pro and really knows how to cut hair and understand what you want.
I have learned from experience to hold off on reviewing a hair stylist until I have been to their salon at least twice. The first time, I expect the stylist to be skilled, to listen, and do what I ask; the second time, I want to be able to relax, knowing he/she will do a great job without my having to worry or say much of anything. In Jamal, I finally found what I was looking for. He is very skilled and attentive, but more importantly, he really understands hair (my hair) and knows how to shape a cut to a person’s face--something apparently hair stylists have to learn on their own because it isn’t taught in school! Hard to imagine, but this explains why I’ve had to go through so many stylists to find someone with Jamal’s artistry and level of skill. My hair is short and he suggested I wear it a bit longer so it would curl better and look softer. He was right--it does. The cut also grows out well and requires very little time to maintain. I highly recommend him.
Ive been going to him since he opened his doors a few yeara ago and now I exclusively attended his salon for my haircuts. He created a new style for me that I have kept for the past 3-4 years and I absolutely love it! Highly recommend this professional!
Finally! A fantastic style and cut. Real talent. Amazingly low prices, best cut Ive had in North Carolina. Ive found the place.
Very nice, offers tea and baklava and its delish. Didnt even ask what I wanted for the cut which ironically made me more confident in his ability. Cut turned out amazing! Thanks Jamal.
Ive known Jamal for a couple years now and I would never let anyone other than him touch my hair. I have thick curly hair and have had my fair share of bad haircuts, but Jamal is miracle worker. My hair has never looked better. He keeps it looking nice and healthy. I am 100% satisfied. Customer service is excellent and you can really tell he enjoys what he does. Never a dull moment at A1 Salon.
A+++. Jamal is so talented, you will always leave there feeling like you just had the best haircut!
Jamal is timely, professional and affordable for a great haircut. I highly recommend not wasting your time or money searching for a great cut with a talented individual any further. The hot tea and baklava was a nice added touch. After asking around, I was referred by both men & women friends/aquaintances who loved his skill level and his prices. He really knows what hes doing (no guessing) and is very personable. I was not looking for a barber cut as they typically reach for the unguarded shears and ask questions later. Jamal is a pro and will make you look better than what you probably have been accustomed to...
Best hair cut ever. Jamal has the ability to transform you completely!
I have been coming here to see Jamal for over 2 years now, getting my haircut about twice a month. I have NEVER had a bad experience, all of my haircuts have been perfect, and he is extremely professional!
Excellent hair stylist! I moved out of Cary and couldnt find a salon that cuts hair as good as Jamal does so I commute to A-1 salon every time I need a hair cut. Highly recommended.
Best...haircut...ever. Moved to Cary a year ago, havent found a decent cut anywhere. This is the place!
As a regular customer for a couple of years, letting friends know what a great expert he is in color, cut, and styling. To save a little money, iI made a mistake trying somebody else and I am glad I returned.
This is the best salon! Jamal is very professional. He is a master hair designer.I have very difficult hair. Its long, curly and I went from brown to blonde, which is not easy to get the right shade of blonde. I have tried several salons in the area, including very expensive ones, but always ended up unhappy because my hair would turn out too ashy or too brassy. It was very dry and damaged too.At A1 Salon Jamal fixed the color and the good products he uses helped repair my hair. Im very happy that I found A1 Salon and wont go anywhere else. My hair is healthy and Im happy with the color every time.
JAMAL is the best hair dresser I have ever seen...The way he cuts is super cool and all the more anyone should experience the way he sets it...The best stylist I have been to..He is gonna b my stylist forever
Jamal took me last minute which I as sooo grateful for! I have 3b/3c textured hair (very curly but also very fine) but it is easily detangled if you condition it properly. He did not seem to have a problem detangling my hair. He was able to complete my hair in about 50 minutes (shampoo, condition, blow dry, trim, and straighten). My hair is very short not even shoulder length. My hair looked good when he was finished however when it was time to pay he told me “usually it is $60 but for your hair type I charge another $20”.I was shocked. $80 for something I could literally do at home?!?! (minus the trim). The usual salon I go to (Twisted Scissors) charges no more than $40 maybe $50 for everything I get done and they do a FANTASTIC job.Although my hair looked good I will likely not go back. His prices are ridiculous. Very nice guy though. If you are Caucasian with basically bone straight hair then you should be fine! But anyone with textured hair be prepared to pay extra for something you can’t control.
The owner is a true professional. They were the only place I could find taking appointments on a Sunday so I called and they saw me right away. I am a 27 year old male and typically opt for the cheap 10 to 15 dollar hair cut places but they are always crowded and inconsistent. A1 was $25 but it was well worth it. Believe the reviews. This place is the real deal.
One of top worst experiences in customer service Ive ever had in my life. I came home and cried on my husband. I would give zero stars if I could. My experience with Jamal was hostile, rushed, and rude. I had to have my hair colored TWICE at another salon to fix the damage that he did. He was working on me simultaneously with another client, and while shampooing me actually had her get up from the chair and answer the phones and schedule clients for him. I asked him to check my hair while the color processed since he hadnt even glanced my way, and he sarcastically said Oh, well youre the expert, you tell me! He completely disregarded what I asked for and left my blonde hair with hot, orangey roots. I left with a clear line of demarcation on my hair from the dye that I had to go to another salon to fix. He talked rudely about past clients, and kept stroking my hair in an uncomfortable way to show me how another client DIDNT like being touched the same way(??) and when I agreed that it was uncomfortable, he got in my face and asked if seeing my lady doctor also bothers me. I was speechless. As a side note, his body odor was overpowering.
Ok this is the best blow out ----a must try. I am picky with my hair and need my hair dresser to be awesome at blow outs. This is the place. He is so nice and treats you like a queen.
Great! Love the way my hair looks and feels when I leave. He does such a fabulous job!!
Jamal is a excellent hairdresser and has very relaxing salon he is the best in my opinion takes his time and does it right even when he has other people still takes time for you....and every body leaves happy.
I was very unsure of this place at first because of all the good reviews. So many are from out of state and others, I just assumed were probably friends, family, etc. writing good reviews. I totally took a leep of faith, was desperate for a haircut and was willing to go where ever (plus, the Mitchels Salon across the stree was closed).It was pretty slow and I thought, Oh no. Why is no one here? Jamal came from the back talking about how he was a designer and how hed take care of me. Then when I tried to tell him what I wanted he told me not to worry, that he was the designer and he would make my hair look great. Once again, I begin to freak out a little.After an hour I left with AMAZING hair! I was actually a little bummed that I didnt have anywhere to go. If I had brought in a picture it would have been exactly how he did my hair. I just mentioned that I usually curled it and he had me walking out like I would want to leave my house, but better! (I hate it when I go somewhere and it looks nothing like how I would normally wear it and I feel weird all day.)The only thing is that he didnt tell me the curls were an extra $20 until after he was done and rung me up. The shampoo, cut, style/curl ended up being $80, which I feel is a little steep for him not to have given me a heads up, but he did say if I didnt have it curled the next time it would be $60. The cut is beautiful and Ill be going back from now on!
Does a fantastic job, great attention to detail, love the tea and baklava!
The best experience ever with a highly professional hairdresser..in my work, i travel all over the US and Canada and i never experienced such service and quality of haircut..i advise everyone to go to A1 Salon..
