About

J City Hair is located in West Hempstead on Long Island. The salon describes its atmosphere as small-town with big-city style, and it calls itself Long Island's top hair specialist. The site shows a 4.7 rating from 57 reviews. Japanese hair straightening, also called thermal reconditioning, is the service the salon highlights most.

The menu covers color, including touch-ups, whole color, half and full head highlights, balayage and gloss, with Goldwell available as a separate color line. Cuts are offered for women, men and kids. Perms include body waves, roll perms, digital and thermal perms and plaster design perms. Keratin blow-dry, keratin treatment and Karasilk treatment are available, along with hair care treatments such as masks, moisturizing repair, Olaplex and gloss toner, and styling for blow-dries, up-dos and special occasions. Prices listed on the site are starting prices.

Japanese hair straightening suits bulky, loose to medium curls that are not kinky. The process uses a chemical solution, then rinsing, blow-drying, flat-ironing and a neutralizer to set the straight shape. The salon does not recommend it for damaged hair or hair broken by highlighting. Retouch timing depends on curl type, from 6 months to a year for less curly hair and 3 to 6 months for curlier hair. Afterward, clients should avoid tight hair bands for 2 to 3 days and use the recommended aftercare. Hair can usually be colored darker right away, while lighter color should wait a week. The salon says its fine ceramic plates give a silkier result than regular ceramic flat irons.

Deposits are required for Japanese hair straightening and for color services over $150, and they are not refundable. Clients can reschedule only 24 hours or more before the appointment. A missed appointment forfeits the deposit, and a new deposit is needed to rebook. The deposit is applied to the final total. Phone bookings also require a credit or debit card. Fixes or store credit must be requested the same week as the service unless management approves other terms. Hours are Monday to Friday 9:30 AM to 7 PM and Saturday 9 AM to 7 PM, with Sunday visits by appointment only. Digital and thermal perms include a free consultation and estimate.

Centered on Japanese hair straightening and treatments for curly or hard-to-manage hair, using Kerastase Paris products and fine ceramic flat-iron plates.

The salon describes its feel as small-town with big-city style.
