Chris Jay Project Hair Studio

I have been coming here for a whole because apparently if you purchase their gift card for $ 688, you get 40% off their services when you do them. I guess that should be my cue to tell me that it was a bad idea from the beginning huh? Well, it didn’t really tip me off because most other salons I. The area has almost the same offers. I guess you can call me cheap, but a $ 80 hair dye doesn’t seem too cheap in an area like this. Please note the first time I came here to dye my hair, I had virgin hair that I had been saving for the past 5 years, untouched and virgin.
1. First time I came here I asked for a Amber light brown, much like the honey color on LV bags after they’ve been oxidized. The result? Look at my picture, they gave me a dark brown color. And when I complained, he told me «this color looks better on you anyway.» The other color does not suit you instead of apologizing and owning up to their mistake. I walked out, thinking it was the end of the day and they were rushing a bit… Or maybe I didn’t express myself clearly.
2. Second time I came here, I was greeted by owner Chris. Nice guy I guess, didn’t admit to his employees mistake last time and blamed my hair for being far too «thin» they got the color right this time and everything was perfect. He was real nice with making small talk and I left with the color I wanted along with a happy mood.
3. Third time back, although I asked for Chris, he came over looked at me and then handed me to a guy I’ve never seen before. Young Taiwanese boy with blue hair. I thought, he’ll do great with my roots since his hair looks amazing. He small talked and I left perfectly happy till I went home and noticed there is 3 different colors in my hair!!! I did not ask for a ombré or s strip effect in my hair! I took s picture and decided to show them for the next time I go. I was furious but understood that they were human and that everyone makes mistakes.
4. Fourth time back, told them about the 3 different colors in my hair and once again, no apologies. This time a man named ken greeted me. He is nice and then handed me off to his assistant «summer» who was brushing on my hair. I sat there and waited 1 ½ hours with dye in my hair. They told me they couldn’t just touch up roots this time, they wanted to dye the whole head so that the color will be consistent. Although I came here not expecting to pay this much, I agreed and here I am. They just finished rinsing my hair and dried it. Please take a look at the last picture where there are 4 colors on my hair! 4 colors!!! It looks awfully terrible!!! Their solution to this? Is to put another layer of dye in my hair. Within 6 months, they dyed my hair 5 times and each time is worse than the next. On top of that, no apologies and no offer to treat my hair. My hair is now frizzy, and has split ends with white dots. The middle of some of my hair is broken…
Please help yourself and not go here. They will never take responsibility for their actions when they mess up your hair and will only be passive to blame you for your hair type or thickness.

After going to Chris for years and years I’ve come to realize his «hair fame» has gone to his head. I booked my appointment personally with him over the phone and agreed upon a time (1130am, which apparently is 30 minutes too early for him). He has my cell phone number and no update that he’s running late. After waiting for almost half an hour with 1 update that he’s still on the way. I’m no expert in owning and running a business but if you’re the owner, don’t you think you should keep agreed upon appointments with long standing customers? Obviously not. You’re good but not good enough to waste a Saturday on.
I will never go back to your salon and I will never recommend you to anyone. Consider a long standing client lost.

Chris has been my go to guy for over 10 years. Before his studio even opened up. I first met him at a different salon years ago. Great service insofar as scheduling and overall attentiveness. Chris really spends the time to make sure everything is to your liking and that there are no areas that are too hard to tackle. Rest assured he’s going to do right by you simply being in that chair. Don’t know what i’d do when i leave NY.

I really loved this salon. i always go here every 6months or so to style my hair and i recommend Allen he knows how i want to do to my hair. from color to style just show it to him the picture that you want to do it. And the lady assistant to color my hair and shampoo it. she is really nice and really knows how to do it. A nice place and clea inside the mall.

Busy place right up until closing time. I like this because stylists are less likely to try and up-​sell you; they’re not wanting for business. On that note, highly recommend making an appointment before visiting.
Have only gotten a trim from Kenny and a wash/​blow dry by the tall young woman with the really cool blond pixie cut. Curious to try the other lauded stylists.

This place is pretty nice and the prices are good. It gets busy, so I recommend making an appointment. I usually go to Allan. He’s nice and professional. The shampoo girls are pretty good too. Definitely worth a try!

The salon is conveniently located in new world mall on the second floor to the left of the ascending escalator. My decision to give this place a try was completely on a whim. A wash and cut was $ 30. The 10 min wait wasn’t too bad. The lady who washed my hair was friendly and did a thorough job.
After reading the previous Unilocal reviews, I wanted Chris or ken to cut my hair but both of them are off Mondays ! I ended up with Kenny who I was randomly paired with. At first, he kept saying how dry the ends of my hair was. Almost all chinese places I’ve been to try to sell customers the conditioning package which not only is obvious but annoying. I told him I was 100% fine with my dry hair and he let it go.
The hair cuts exceeded my expectations significantly given the lack of information on Kenny and the salon in general on Unilocal.Kenny was very precise with my hair and treated each strand with care. I was extremely impressed with the end result ! He even offered to curl the ends of my hair for me, which came out beautifully.
I would gladly return to Kenny in the future ! I am very happy I finally found a hair salon which meets my expectations. I will be back :)
Tip: They accept cash and credit card but if you pay with card, tax is added on.

I got a hair cut by ken… he was so funny because he couldn’t understand what I was talking about at first but he was amazing! I loved how he took his time and he did a great job! Also he’s very friendly, every one was friendly. I absolutely loved the shampooing part. I’m definitely coming back!

I Booked appointment yesterday to get my haircut with Jay at 11am today. Took half day off at work so I can head there to get my haircut, the receptionist told me Jay was off work today when I showed up. Im like wow «you just lost me as a customer» great job lady.

I have been getting my hair cut by chris for over ten years! He first started city in my hair at a previous salon and I was still in junior high I think. He is the only person I would trust cutting my hair and I have since introduced my sister and friends to him. While he is always busy at the salon he does take his time cutting my hair even though its for the most part always the same cut. We always have a good laugh just talking about our everyday lives. The rest of his staff are super friendly as well. If you want your hair cut by chris you have to make sure to call the salon and book an appointment.

As many people mentioned, Chris and Jay use to work at another hair salon and then they opened up their own hair salon. I been getting my haircut with Chris for about 6 years, I stop going to him for the past year or so because I feel like he doesn’t take the time to cut my hair. I feel that he knows I am a long time customer and I will keep going back to him. I been going somewhere else for my hair cut and I been much happier. I haven’t found a place that dyes hair and knows which color will match me better than this hair salon. Therefore, I still come here to get my hair dyed. Usually I would tell Chris which color I want, and he would suggest which color looks best on me and I would pick one. I also don’t love going here because Chris tends to be pushy and always tries to over sell his products. I feel that is kind of annoying. I guess until I find a better hair salon that dyes my hair, I would continue to get my hair dyed here.

Horrible place!!! Never ask them to design for you !!!
I had at least 5 inch long hair, I asked Jay to design me a nice and cool style, then he cut and shave my hair to like less than an inch long after he is done. I was like WTH! !!! now I look horrible, and I had to pay 20 bucks for a hair style I can get in any American haircut place with just 8 bucks the most?! I wanted an Asian hair style! Never listen to what they recommend and stick with your own thoughts! They never give any good suggestions!

GOOD HAIRCUT, FRIENDLY/​PROFESSIONAL STYLIST
I got a haircut a few weeks ago from here by Ben, and received a lot of compliments afterwards.
For an Asian girl, I have some wavy/​frizzy hair! Most of the Asian hair cutters just want to thin out your haircut when it looks poofy, but that just makes it worse. Also, they never seem to listen to your opinions, and just do whatever they want with YOUR hair!
Fortunately, this place has stylists that would actually listen to what you want, and give you helpful suggestions instead of just chopping everything off.
Ben was my stylist, and he was meticulous with my hair. He did (almost everything I asked for), and threw in some helpful suggestions (after all, he is the pro!). After he cut my hair, he even straightened it for me. I was very happy with the result.
I would definitely come back here again and I recommend Ben to anyone who’s iffy about trying out a new hair place! The place is easy to find, on the second floor of the New World Mall, on Main St. Flushing. Maybe after getting your hair done, you can go downstairs and grab a bubble tea? :)

First thing I noticed, it was definitely the most popular hair salon in New World Mall. It was packed with people so I had to wait about an hour and a half. But I was looking forward to an awesome new cut so I booked the appointment.
I had read that Chris worked magic so and I thought that I was gonna get him but I ended up with another male hairstylist who Im guessing is not him. He did not speak English so I was kinda disappointed that communication did not go so smoothly. Especially bc my chinese is limited so I could not express what I wanted well. I resorted to hand gestures and kinda just answered yes and no when he asked for length confirmation.
Overall it was a really simple cut, He took literally like 1.5 min to cut the bangs, which came out different from what I had in mind. Overall quality was good I guess but communication not great. Im satisfied with the cut since Im really not picky but not with the price for it.
Might or might not go back to try again. If I do Im making an appointment for Chris

Pretty good hair cuts.

I just can’t believe a review hasn’t been written about this place yet. I have been a loyal customer of Chris’ since 2007. Back then, he was working at another salon in Flushing. You can tell he was the best because every customer that walked in asked for Chris and would wait hours for their turn even though other stylists were free. There came a time when I walked by the salon and no longer saw Chris working there. The salon was significantly more empty. I wasn’t sure what to do with myself when my mop needed a good cut. Thankfully, one day when I was strolling through the New World Mall, I saw Chris — he had opened his own hair salon with another stylist from the old salon.
I definitely recommend Chris. I’ve brought several of my friends to experience his magic and they all loved what he did. He’s not the kind of stylist that just does what you say. He’ll actually tell you if what you want will look good and give you other suggestions. I mean, that’s what you really want in a stylist right? Someone who knows what will actually look good on you and stop you from making the biggest mistake of your life.
