Jet Set Salon

I’ve been getting cuts and color at Jet Set for ten years or more. Robert and Dawn have always been friendly and enjoyable, running a comfortably classy business. I tend to let Robert do what he likes with my style, and I’m never disappointed.

I have been going here for ten years and my thick, curly hair has never been in more capable hands.
In addition to the great color and cut, I look forward to my appointments because the owners, Dawn and Robert, have become good friends as a result of a lot of laughs and many great chats.
Time well spent in so many ways.

We just moved to the neighborhood, and my wife was looking for a place to get her hair done.
Anyway, she took a chance, and what a winner. I must say Robert did a beautiful job. I was very happy with the way it looked when he was done. Very sexy, younger looking. Terrific job. I highly recommend the place.
Also, the owners, Robert and his wife are very friendly, helpful people. My wife’s very happy she found Jet Set.

My daughter-​in-​law has been going to Jet Set for years, so I decided to have my hair cut when visiting rather than in Chicago. Great decision. Great haircut! Soft styling and durable. In February I needed to wear a hat on the way home, and voila! hair cut still great. Will have my hair cut here next time as well.

I’ve been going to Robert at Jet Set for six years and love my cut every time. The salon is charming and both Robert and Dawn are fantastic.

Jet Set is fantastic. Robert and Dawn, the owners, are utterly charming.
I’ve been going here with my wife and daughter for about a year and an half. It is worth the drive from Staten Island.
Dawn is a first-​rate hostess, and Robert is very good at listening to what you want, (bringing photos and magazine clippings is a good idea), and then either giving it to you, or explaining how your hair can’t do what the pretty celeb’s hair is doing, but helping you achieve a similar look or feeling that you’ll be able to reproduce on your owe at home.
With only one person cutting hair it can be hard to get an appointment, but a busy/​popular hair stylist is what you want, right?
As far as I know Robert does not take walk-​ins due to his booked schedule, but if you just need a quick bang trim or something like that they try to be accommodating.
I have to laugh at the 1 and 2 star reviews. Those people obviously never took the time to get to know the people running the salon. Looking at some of their other Unilocal reviews they also seem to like complaining about the silliest shit no matter where they go.

I liked the couple of cuts I received in the past but it’s so damn hard to get an appointment there. They never answer the phone and they never call you back when you leave a message. They need to get it together over there. I’m off to my old stylist, which is a hike for me, but I have no choice. I was hoping this could be a good neighborhood spot for me. I guess not and I am sad about that.

I meant to write a review a long time ago, but it’s taken me this long to join Unilocal.So, to be fair, this review is at least a year and a half overdue.
At the time, I was living in Red Hook and didn’t want to travel far for a haircut, so I figured I’d give Jet Set Salon a try. Unfortunately, I traded in quality for convenience and walked away with the worst cut of my life (not an overstatement). I asked not to go too short and ended up with an unflattering bowl cut that made me look like a little boy. In the end I wish I had trekked back to Greenpoint/​Williamsburg for a cut at Mousey Brown’s.

I had intended to write a follow up to this after I’d written the first one, but time got away from me… and now it’s a year later. Oops.
Anyhow, I didn’t end up going back to Jet Set Salon — a week after I’d gotten my hair cut it started growing in REALLY badly, which bummed me out — I was leaving on vacation and ended up having to go to another salon the day before I left to have it fixed.
Ah well. Moving on.

2 stars = «Meh. I’ve experienced better.»
by Unilocal’s definition, my experience at this salong was exactly 2 stars.
Meh.
perfectly describes my experience from beginning to end.
i’ve spent less money and been more impressed.
i tried this place on a whim because I was walking by and had been thinking I needed a cut and should have listened to my gut when I was thinking I should turn around and walk back out.
nothing disasterous, but nothing great either.
and i think a haircut should be great.
Save your money and go somewhere else.

I saw Monica. She was friendly, not too chatty, gave a good head rub during the shampoo, and I liked the way my hair looked even after I washed it myself.
The price was a reasonable $ 65. The cut was flattering.
The only thing that bothers me about the place is the big windows facing the sidewalk. There was a little girl who was watching my hair cut, fascinated. Being watched while wearing a cape and having wet hair sticking down stick straight in front of my face makes me a tad uneasy, even if it’s only a six year old.
At any rate. I was happy overall, the location is very convenient for me, and I will go back.
