Mad One Jacks

After looking for the right salon for years, i have finally found the one that can take care of my hair. Very professional and very helpful staff!

I went to another salon in Hoboken a few days ago and left with a bad haircut (see previous review). Decided to go to Mad One Jacks to get it fixed. I am SO glad I did!
This is my favorite haircut ever, and my visit was one of the best salon experiences I’ve ever had. The staff were super accommodating, friendly, understanding, and most importantly, down to give me the specific cut I was asking for.
I have a pretty unique style, and so I came prepared with several images depicting the look I was going for. My stylist Brittni took great care to understand what I wanted, how I wanted it, and made sure to do EXACTLY that. I really appreciated her attention to detail and receptiveness. My favorite part was when she warned me that the look I wanted was «kind of dated,» just to be sure I knew what I was doing. I was like «I don’t care at all, please just do it just like the picture,» to which she laughed, said «awesome,» and gave me the bombest ‘do ever. She was also just a cool person, and it was fun talking to her.
The other employees I met were pretty damn great as well. All of them were very friendly and accommodating. They gave me a same-​day appointment, a nice head massage, AND a little gift baggie on the way out, with some styling products to use on my own. They even offered me a glass of wine, which I will take them up on next time around. The haircut was reasonably priced for a high-​end place.
Thanks Mad One Jacks! I’ll definitely be coming back.

Wish I could have tried this salon. I had an appointment on Sunday and while I understand that they closed for the weather, they should have called
me to let me know. Because of their $ 50 «no-​show» fee, I made sure to be there — regardless of the weather. They were in fact closed. Where’s MY $ 50 no-​show fee.

If you want a Jennifer Aniston haircut from the mid 90’s this is the place to go. Unfortunately I have curly thick hair so it didn’t work well for me. Sorry! I really wanted to find a great salon in NJ but this isn’t it!

Came in to get my eyebrows done as a first time client with high expectations based on Unilocal reviews. The woman made multiple comments about how thin the edges of my eyebrows were and kept asking how I managed to get them like that (it’s how they’ve always been — usually I pencil them in but didn’t as I was going for a wax), which I found to be very rude. I asked her to clean them up and make my arch a bit more prominent, and I am not happy with the results. My eyebrows are uneven, shapeless, and spaced much too far apart, and to top it off I have a painful swollen bump forming just below my left eyebrow. I am now spending my day going to Sephora to purchase products to fill my eyebrows until they grow back, as I look ridiculous after leaving here.

I’ve been looking for a good hair salon for about a month. I went to one place and had a bad dye job (asked for red which faded quicker than i expect… I’ve had red before and didn’t have any issues prior) and need a fix. I was really skeptical in picking a place but after all my search on Unilocal,Facebook and Instagram I decided to go here. The atmosphere is friendly and the place is really cute and artsy. I wanted a blue black and they recommended the PM Shine… I had about 3 girls give an opinion on the best way to go about it which made me more comfortable. I’m really picky about what I do with my hair and who I go to and I’m not disappointed. I asked for blue black but with a subtle blue and that’s what I got. Now that I look at it I wish it had more blue tones but I’m really happy with the way it looks and will be going back.

My first time here, got a wash and blow dry. I had an appointment with a particular hair stylist, when I checked in I mentioned who my appointment was with. A different stylist introduced herself to me. I mentioned I had an appointment with someone else. She checked and conformed it was with someone else. Not sure if this was on purpose or a mistake but was not impressed. Also no one offered me a beverage every salon I have been to does. The blow out was good but the service was expensive for the experience.

Had a great experience here. I wish I was better at names, but awesome blonde did my hair. I think her name started with an S, maybe Sarah? Wanted to cut my hair short for the first time I a long while, she did a spectacular job. Loving it right now! Before she did anything she told me about the upkeep, pros and cons, considering it would be a definite change to my morning ritual. She was sweet, offered me a beer before she went on chopping. Normally going to the salon can be an awkward time in the chair for me, forcing small talk with someone who clearly doesn’t give a damn. But she made me feel totally comfortable and enjoyed talking with her through the process. after she had finished i bought their tea tree lavender mint shampoo and conditioner and it amazing. definitely will be coming back

Any salon that sends you a hand written thank you post card truly gets my vote. Call me old school but I loved this!

If you’re looking for a unique salon, this is the place. After my previous hair stylist moved locations, I was ready to try somewhere new, and Mad One Jacks kept coming up in all of my searches, so I decided to give it a try.
When you walk in, you’re immediately greeted by an artsy and eclectic atmosphere. Bold graphic art decorates the walls, and in addition to your typical tabloid magazines, you’ll find books like «All of my Friends Are Dead.» I was immediately offered coffee, water, tea, wine — a slew of options — and was seated for a brief minute before I met my stylist.
Sarah is amazing and I have seen her every time since I’ve been back. I’m the kind of person to schedule very last minute appointments, and they are always accommodating and make sure I see the stylist I want. I have had my hair both cut and colored, and always trust Sarah’s judgment (she knows much more than I do) and always does a phenomenal job. If you get shampooed, you’ll also get a quick scalp and shoulder massage, which only adds to the relaxing experience.
Sign up for email alerts because they are always doing deals and specials. Price-​wise, this place is very affordable for what you would pay in NYC and Hoboken. I’ll get my whole head colored for $ 65-​ish or so — not bad. I have recommended this place to many, and they have all had great experiences as well. Highly, highly recommend.

This place is amazing! I found it on Unilocal after a different salon screwed up my appointment time and I’m so glad that this place came along. Thank you SO MUCH DOROTA! She was so nice and polite! She listens very well and I love my hair! I’m not a very talkative person so I love that she didn’t pressure me into a conversation. I also got a postcard from her thanking me! I have never, in my life, seen customer service like theirs. Very impressed and I’m definitely coming back and bringing all my friends!

I am so glad that my Unilocal search led me here.
I had an appointment with Princessa for a much needed haircut. I actually showed up a few minutes early, but I was taken care of almost immediately nonetheless. Princessa asked a few questions about what sort of cut I was looking for and the amount of daily styling and maintenance that I do, and within the hour, I got exactly what I asked for. She couldn’t possibly have done a better job.
The salon was clean, the staff friendly and professional. I found the product suggestions to be helpful rather than pushy and credit card payment was very convenient. Overall, this was a great experience and I fully intend to be a loyal customer.

I recently moved back to NJ from LA and was looking for a moderately priced, high end salon with a funky trendy and artistic feel and I found MOJ
Couldn’t be happier since day one. Brittni was who did my haircut she is extremely knowledgeable of her stuff and will explain anything in detail, suggest, and totally gets it.

Best hairdressers in town! I have been seeing them last 2 years, I am always satisfied their service.

This was my 1^st time here. I had such a great experience & the customer service was on point!
I decided at the last minute I wanted my hair done NOW! My usually stylist was in available. I called mad 1 jacks, spoke to the owner himself & stopped in for a consultation before my appointment later in the evening. I was very happy with my service & end results. I recommend this place to anyone along with being my new back up spot for my hair services.

I had high hopes when I read up on this salon so I scheduled a consultation with (what I thought) would be a perfect fit. I show up and said I’m here for my consultation. Some other woman decided to do the consult with me and didn’t even introduce herself. so I can’t even say who it was. I guess they thought since I haven’t been to this salon before I wouldn’t know what the person I scheduled my consultation with looked like (hello, you have pictures on your website of your stylists!) I knew the second I sat in that chair to talk hair, it wasn’t gonna work. Whoever I was talking to wasn’t rude or anything, but didn’t even try to give me hair suggestions. I normally do my own hair, but thought I’d take the chance and have someone else do it. What a bust. Waste of time. Maybe I can contact the girl I originally wanted outside of your salon to do my hair.

Amazing is the only word I can use to sum up my experience at Mad One Jack’s. I went to Princessa on a referral from my friend, and she was every bit the magical being described to me. My hair wasn’t growing out well from the last cut, and to me seemed flat and not sexy. She understood exactly what I wanted, and gave it to me, even noting that I had curly hair naturally. I left with body, swish, and confidence you only get from an excellent haircut. I highly recommend this salon and Princessa to everyone I know.

I’ve been coming here for maybe 6 or 7 years now. Sometimes I try other salons (Studio 17 in Jersey City, Fox & Jane in the Lower Eastside, etc.) and yet I always come back to Mad One Jack’s. How have I not learned my lesson yet?!
I love everything about this place– the vibe, the staff, the décor, everything! The vibe is cool and eclectic and somehow has more of a New York feel than a lot of New York salons (how is that even possible)? The staff is friendly and make you feel right at home. Décor is gorgeous with all of their little intricate and elaborate details from the scissors on the mirrors to their business cards. Love it.
Rowena is my favorite stylist. She’s sooo good and knows what works on me and what doesn’t without me having to describe it. I’ve gone to her for haircuts, highlights, color, glaze, you name it – she nails it every time.
Some people have complained for the prices but I’m a true believer of «you get what you pay for», so no complaints here!

About to check in for my second cut here, so I guess that is a good sign, I will start by saying that I went to the same person in my hometown FOREVER. I was always nervous to have my hair cut by someone else because I strayed once and paid for it hardcore by sporting a bowl cut as a 16 year old teenage girl. Traumatizing. Yeah I am 34 now and was still going to that same person, up until now.
Anyways, enough about me. I really like this place. I went to Princessa based on what I read about her. She was a doll and totally accepted me for the crazy hair person I am, ie super scared of going to someone new. She took the time to listen and then teach me about what she was doing, even down to the type of conditioner she used.
Loved the cut and the overall atmosphere (clearly because I am going back).
The one star was lost on me for 2 reasons: its sometimes challenging to get an appointment (stylists book up fast) and I REALLY dislike their new policy about wanting to keep your credit card number on file. As someone who has had credit card fraud recently, this makes me very uncomfortable. I get that you want to protect your business from people who dont show up, but dont punish the people who do show up.

Worst bangs trim I ever got in my life was here. The stylist talked the whole time about his love life and wasn’t paying attention and gave me a lopsided haircut that made me look like Dr. Spock. What’s worse, is that I had a music video shoot the next morning and looked terrible in it. It ruined the entire look. I called to complain and they wouldn’t give me my money back — they said they were happy to «fix it» (ie chop off MORE hair… uhh, no thanks) but other than that, they were completely unapologetic and arrogant. It took TWO YEARS for other stylists to gradually correct this incompetent stylist’s mistake (by the way, he was one of their senior stylists, not an apprentice.)
This is one of those «we’re trying sooo hard to be ‘cool’» places. A hip logo and quirky décor do not compensate for the lack of professionalism and talent at this place. Terrible attitude. Sure, it’s probably the «hippest» hair salon in Hoboken, but it’s also the worst if you actually care about what your hair looks like. #sorrynotsorry
