We had Jasmine come do our make up and hair. She did such a great job and she was fast. Even though she was fast we did not feel rushed. I wanted to do a trial run the month before but there was no available spots for the date I wanted. I took a risk and booked with the salon anyways. I am so glad I did because Jasmine made me look so beautiful. She was pleasant to work with and she communicated with me several times before the event. I would highly recommend Jasmine to anyone and I will definitely request her again in the future for special events.

This place is AMAZING! First of, I have been going to Jhigs for over 25 years! I’ve gone through so many different hair styles and they’ve always kept me looking so fresh! I often get compliments on my hair and have sent them over to Jhigs. My mom and dad goes to Jhigs’ as well. My friends, family and I have also used Jhigs for my best friends wedding and my sister’s wedding. Jhigs and her team does a PHENOMENAL job! Our make up does not look like it was caked on, we all looked radiant and the best part is it last throughout the wedding and reception! I would absolutely recommend Jhigs’ Hair Studio to anybody!

Jhigs & team did a great job for my wedding part in April 2014. Everything from the hair and makeup trial session to the pre-wedding hair and makeup was a pleasant experience. The team showed up exactly on time and set up fancy tables and mirrors with lights right in my hotel room. Everyone was very nice and they even sang along to Frozen with me and the girls when we were getting ready!

Jhigs fixed my hair in less than an hour. I love it very much! I’m so thankful I found this salon! It only cost me $ 40 for an updo and they went beyond my expectation. I definitely recommend Jhigs Hair Studio!

Jhigs, Jasmine, and Romey are awesome! Jhigs also brought another assistant and they did hair and makeup for all of my bridesmaids, flower girls, mother, mother in law, cousin, and aunts. It was a total of 22 ladies in a 5 hour timeframe. They really are efficient! They are reasonably priced for the service and quality they provide. We really liked their set up on the day of the wedding and they even had perfect music to get us in the mood. They were all really nice, fun, and easy to work with. We gave them a picture of the look we wanted and they did a great job at bringing it to reality. Thank you for making my ladies look amazing! They were all so beautiful!

I just picked up my mom from this place and she was in tears at how bad her haircut turned out. the layering is un even and mediocre at best. the worst part is that they did not listen to her. She had a specific style she wanted and communicated to the stylist, but she did not listen and ended up giving her something totally not what she wanted. There are two main things a stylist should have: get great at listening, and then have the skills to execute. The stylist didn’t even have one of those…

Jhig was not there when I went there to do my bridal hair and makeup, another lady Marites did for me. She is very quick, less than 1.5hrs with my hair and makeup. They charged very reasonable around $ 80 in store, $ 150 on site for bride. I got lots of compliments, but I think there are still lots of pace to improve. One small part of my hair fell after 30mins outside, I think the clip was not tight enough. I suggest you bring your own foundation in case you want your own color and quality. Overall I am still happy with what i paid for.

So happy with Jhigs, she did my bridal hair and makeup in an hour and 15 mins, SO efficient which is great for a busy, packed wedding day. The makeup was done at 10am and lasted until 10pm without any touch-ups, looked absolutely perfect, as did the hair despite putting a veil in and taking it out. Jhigs threw in little silver clips I didn’t even think of but looked great in my hair, so nice of her! Would go back for any other special occasion, pricing was very reasonable and the hair and makeup was fantastic, even better than the pictures I showed.

I was very happy with my hair and makeup. I wanted to have an old Hollywood glam look and he was able to deliver. I received so many compliments at our holiday party last night! Highly recommend.

Normally when I go to an affordable salon, I have to explain super thoroughly what I want and I never feel that it came out just right. After coming to Julia at Jhigs as a walk in, I will now continue to come here every time. All I said was, «I would just like the dead ends cut off and layers all around, please.» And she followed with«Oh! You want it to look thicker with layers all over?» Perfect. Yes. She put these oils in my hair that made it smell amazing and feel soft for days! When I walked out, I loved my hair. Julia did an incredible job, and it was just 30 dollars!

Very satisfied with my wedding hair and makeup! Jhigs is great! Did two trials with her because I was indecisive about my eye makeup. My hair was beautiful both during the trial and and the actual day. She did exactly what I wanted. Her prices are the best I could find too. She brought two assistants the day of the wedding to my hotel room and brought their high makeup chairs and music to play. It was such a fun experience for my mom, mother in law and three bridesmaids.

I have been going here for a long time and am very happy with how my hair is done. They did hair and makeup for my sister’s wedding and we had great results.

I am writing this under my husband’s account since I don’t have a Unilocal.I have been going here since I was competing in my little Miss Philippines pageants in the 90’s. I literally used Jhigs for all my school dances all the way to my wedding day. I have specifically worked with Emme as my hair and makeup stylist. She uses airbrush makeup which makes your makeup flawless and is a perfectionist in creating beautiful updos. You can bring in a picture of what you want your hair to look like and she will make a master piece out of your hair! On my wedding day I had the whole Jhigs team set up in our hotel room. Not only did they do my bridal party’s hair they accommodated all my aunties/family at the studio. We received so many compliments on our hair and makeup, our pictures turned out beautiful! Highly reccomend for any formal events.

I would like to give a big thank you to Jhigs and Jasmine for a wonderful job they did with my bridal party and me. Everyone’s received great compliments for their hair and make-up. They did my cousin Lorelle’s wedding party in 2008 and I loved my hair and make-up then, and I loved my makeover for my big day. They definitely know how make you pretty on your big day. THANKYOU again for an awesome job! :)

We used them for my sister’s wedding and then called them as soon as I got engaged. They do an amazing job and are affordable. They came to our hotel room for my bridal party, me and the moms and everyone was surprised at how low their price was! Plus they made us all look stunning! I don’t wear much makeup and they do a great job of making you look beautiful in pictures but it doesn’t feel like you have a mask on. Plus they use air brush which I love. They do exactly what you want for your hair style and even have great suggestions if you don’t know what to do. There can be a bit of a language barrier, but as the reviews say, they are a mainly Filipino salon. My girls and I are all white/Latina and it didn’t make any difference. They make you feel right at home! I’ll use them any time I have a special event!

Belated Review but Jhigs is AMAZING. I cut my hair too short for comfort and needed to figure out a fancy hair do for a big corproate event. I also have no talent in putting on makeup. Jhigs made me look FABULOUS for $ 70.(I am so freaking embarassed but I thought I heard a much lower number and actually almost walked away without paying enough…) I would absolutely recommend for hair, lash, makeup. Pretty much if you need to look fab for a good price and really quick. This is the place to be! Definitely recommended. 4.5 stars!

I’ve been coming here ever since I moved back to California in 2002. My mom has been a customer since I was about a toddler, so she’s loyal. The person who does our hair, her name is Marites, she knows what will compliment you best. My mom always love what is done to her hair, and I haven’t really had any problems with my hair. If you show her a pictures she’s really good about replicating it. Sometimes she can cut my hair shorter than I want, but as long as it isn’t all butchered I am happy! Like the other review, this place is a Filipino Salon. You should be open minded upon entering. TFC is blasting in the background and they do speak in their native tongue. More than likely they are not talking about you! They can get busy though! So calling ahead will most likely help you out in the long run. The prices are pretty good, it’s about $ 20 for a haircut, and I personally believe it’s better than Great Clips because these people actually know how to cut, or aren’t straight out of school.

Look, I’ll be honest. If you haven’t experienced a Filipino salon, then this place may be a shock to your system. If you have, however, then read on. Entering Jhigs’s Hair Studio will be like stepping into a time-and-space warp and finding yourself back in Quezon City, with the TV blasting Kris Aquino’s report on showbiz news, the stylists and customers chattering back and forth in rapid-fire tagalog, and the statue of a crowned Jesus-child staring quietly at everything from a tall shelf. Yes, fellow Pinoys — you are home. That said, I will say that having had my hair & makeup done by several different make-up professionals, Jhigs is hands-down the best make-up I’ve had done. Maybe it’s because I’m Filipino and she knows how to highlight the best in Filipino features. But I think her talent goes beyond color lines. For my dime, I’ll always go to Jhigs when I’ve gotta pretty myself up! Their hair expertise is pretty good too — not the best I’ve had, but certainly on par with my better hair-do’s. I’d say they’re a solid B+ in that department. I think they tend to do better with special-occasion up-dos and older hair-styles(like my mom). But they do a decent job with younger cuts too. Price-wise, they are totally reasonable. A recent hair & makeup job cost me $ 70, and I added a tip on top of that. Not bad at all, considering that’s what you would pay for make-up alone in most places. And I was THRILLED with the results! So — if you’re not Pinoy, just keep in mind what I’ve said above. Either way, though, you really can’t go wrong with Jhigs!
