CrownedByJanae

CrownedByJanae is a natural hair salon in Jacksonville, and it describes itself as the city's natural haircare oasis. The salon is run by owner Stephanie Janae, a licensed cosmetologist, and it is set up around appointments only, with no walk-ins.

Services are priced by the hour at a flat $50 rate, and shampooing, treatments, trims, detangling and blow-drying are built into each service rather than billed separately. Clients who need a squeeze-in can book a VIP appointment for an extra $50, which is charged on top of the service and does not count toward the total payment. Questions about services that aren't listed are handled through a phone message.

The salon says hair health is a priority in its work. Its service groups cover natural hair, curly cuts, locs, braid and twist styles, extensions and luxury color, with specialties in natural curls and coils, starter locs, loc retwists using the palm rolling method, high-end color and protective styles.

Booking changes have set windows. Rescheduling is allowed up to three days before the appointment, not counting the appointment day. Cancellations can be made by text or through Vagaro. A cancellation made within that three-day window forfeits the deposit, and a deposit is refunded only when the cancellation is made at least four days ahead. Same-day cancellations and no-call, no-show visits are charged the full price.

Hair health comes first, and the salon's services are built around caring for natural texture.
