Xcellent Beauty Salon

Jesse is great she is a nice girl … But her staff however need to work on their attitude

Kevin was amazing!!! Everyone was friendly and I love my new cut!!!. I will definitely be coming back. This will be my new place to go for a hair cut!

My girlfriends have got their hair colored balayage I was in love with it and I wanted to give myself a try at something because after all it is summer. I had called the morning of to come in whenever and I had received great service from the start! Tips and suggestions with style and color helped because I am a newbie. They also gave me crackers and made sure I ended with what I wanted. Surprisingly the pic I showed her is very similar to my hair! So excited I hope this lasts very well. I definitely recommend!!!

The name of this place says it all! The Xcellent beauty salon crew worked together to bring out the best in what I wanted. Upon entering, I already felt welcomed when Kevin said hello and took my hair inquiries. He was kind and I liked the way he really listened to what I wanted. He was patient in looking at the photos of samples I showed him on my phone. His smile and friendly attitude gives you a great sense of the place right of the bat.
I was going extreme with my hair from reddish brown with some yellowish highlights to a balayage of dark brown to almost blonde ash ends. It took almost 6 hours but the wait was worth it!!! Jessie and Sophia were very diligent in checking my hair because lots of bleached was used and we all know how damaging that can be. They were on top of it when it came to color it so that the colors blended together. I was very impressed! I also liked their team work and felt they were confident in their job. It’s tough to go to a place when you feel negative energy and nervousness, Jessie was the opposite. She’s very confident and owns her craft!
During the meantime I was offered delicious coffee and cookies. The place is clean, brightly lit, and spacious. I’d definitely recommend if not bring my friend with me next time!!! Thanks Xcellent crew!!!

My first time writing this Unilocal review because I wanted you to know that this salon deserves it. This is my second time going there because I like their services. Every staff is friendly and professional. Great job, Jesse! She’s nice and she can suggest you what suit you the best, again it’s optional, she’ll still get it done on what you prefer most. I’m happy with the result of my new hair style and I’ll be going back again and again.

My hair cut was just ok. Prices are great and I really liked how they massaged my scalp when washing my hair. The stylist I had didn’t understand me and cut off way too much hair. I’d come again for wash and blow out but never again for a cut, not even a trim.

I decided the try this hair salon because of the wonderful Unilocal reviews. I showed Jesse a picture of my hair and she said it would costs 310 but I would get the 20% discount off, resulting in $ 248. I wanted a ash blonde/​grey ombré type of look. I have to admit the process was extremely LONG, and by long I mean the whole day.
But the staff is so nice and they make sure you are happy with your hair. Unlike other salons who just want to take your money even if you’re unhappy. Kevin and Jesse and their assistants were very kind and honest. Kevin helped to explain the process to me. He was very nice and funny.
I left the salon very happy! I love my hair :) I will be back in about a month to tone it so that the color stays this beautiful ashy blonde !
Kevin and Jesse are the best! You can’t go wrong here at this salon!

XCELLENT, service, speed, and truly all professionals at this salon. I have been dreaming about this color for years and I am so happy with everything about the experience! My hair is looking healthy, they didn’t cut off too much of my hair and created a style very suitable for me. Ask for Kevin, he’s a genius.

Kevin and Jesse are the best! They literally took my hair from crap to beautiful. I now have this beautiful sliver ombré hair and I would not change for anything. And although it took me like 10 hrs, I think it still worth every minute. They are really eXCELLENT! Thanks again!

Found my new favorite place here, thank you Unilocal!
Kevin worked on my red ombré with oil treatment and a hair cut. Sophia was his assistant.
I was there for a total of 7 hours! Kevin and Sophia were professional, friendly, very attentive and great full service!
I would definitely recommend this salon to a friend.

Came here after reference from friend. Owner cut my 10 yr old daughter hair. Did a very nice cut and blow out. Not as inexpensive as I had hoped ($ 40) but it was 5 min from home and I will be back. I think the owner performed the service and she was professional and friendly.
I normally go to Nubest Salon which is a fantastic place but I think for the convenience and price, it .aybe time for a permanent change.

After bleaching my hair at home 3 times in 2 weeks which I’ve also shaved into a Mohawk years ago but I digress, my locks were a sunny bright orange. I happened upon Xcellent Beauty by chance upon Unilocal.Walked in at 10 am to set appointment up for color correction. Put me in at 2 pm, with a 4 – 5 hour process estimate.
2 more bleaches (eeek!), toner, and dye later… I got the color I’ve wanted and tried to achieve myself (big Nono but I’m also crazy)
The before and after was such a transformation!
The only gripe I had was that since this is a new salon, they seemed a bit understaffed yet busy which led to multiple people working on my hair rather than the usual –main stylist and possibly assistant. I should have called ahead with a specific stylist but since this was the first time I didn’t know what to expect.

I am so happy with the work done by Jesse & her team at Xcellent Salon. I made an appointment for 2pm and left around 8pm. I got an ashy balayage and had my roots darkened. Just FYI the Groupon deal does not work for balayages (I mistakenly thought it would).
The salon is super super clean and I loved the décor. Not your typical tacky Asian beauty salon. I also love the location. I came in and Jesse helped me decide what to do with my hair and answered a million of my questions. Even thought I sat in a chair for 6 hours, it wasn’t as torturous as it sounds. The staff offered me tea and water and cookies and they were just such a friendly bunch.
Jesse and her team are professionals and I’m glad I trusted them with my hair. I was kinda nervous about the end results but I ended up loving my new look. Jesse took the time to dye my roots twice because she thought the first color wasn’t dark enough. Thank you so much for being patient with me and putting so much care and effort into my hair. I absolutely love it!

After reading the very positive reviews here, I went to Xcellent Hair Salon for the first time today wanting to get an ombré hair color. It was around 4:45pm and I learned from Jessie and her assistants that it would take 4,5 hours to bleach my hair and get the ashy color i want. That means they would work overtime for my hair! (Salon closes at 8pm).
Jessie and her team were very friendly. They’re very patient with my orangy brassy hair and they took the time to bleach it twice and adjust 3 different hair dye mixture for the gradually color changing effect. Even when it was already 9:15pm (!) they were still very patient and made sure the hair color was what I wanted. And it really turned out great! I’m very happy with the grayish ashy ombré color!
Jessie gave me a reasonable price and I finally left the Salon at 9:45pm. I feel bad for keeping them so late! I’ll definitely go back again for more haircuts and hair colors! I highly recommend this hair Salon! I believe you would be as satisfied as I am. :)
Thank you Jessie and Kinda (not sure if I spelled it right) for your time and beautiful work!

The guys did an excellent job with my hair. The result was even better than what I expected thank you Jessie for the beautiful ash ombré with Olaplex treatment.
I was about to pay almost $ 500 in Manhattan as always but I decided to give a try to a local salon based on the good reviews and I have to admit that I was a little scared at the beginning because I’m so picky when it’s about dying my hair and that’s why I pay a lot but now I’m so happy I did. I saved money and got an even better result.
Oh and last thing Jessie was very concerned about me being happy with the results so she said if it didn’t end with the expected results she would fix it for no charge and that actually says a lot of good things about her and her business and how she’s more worried about a happy customer rather than the money, they know that in the end a happy customer will return and not the one who paid a lot of money and unhappy with the final result.
The only one advice I would give is to always offer something to your customers (even more if they’ll stay for a long time) like a coffee, tea, water, wine (if you want to be more sophisticated lol)
That’s it!!!
Blessings and see you soon :))

The only reason I’m giving two stars is because of Sophia. The man named Kevin messed up my hair. I came in with blonde hair and ask for brown and blonde balayage.
I left with almost black hair and silver/​ash. I looked like a skunk and on top of that the balayage he did was not blended in well. You can see a line going left to right across my hair. I made an appointment back to correct my hair. When I came in he was so busy with other customers he left bleach sitting in my hair for over 20 min (which can break my hair) I went to the bathroom and washed it off MYSELF. I was so upset Sophia noticed and washed my hair for me. I paid $ 255 for someone to damage my hair and not pay attention to what I wanted.

I came to get balayage/​ombré from Jessie and she did such an awesome job with my hair. I showed her a picture of what I wanted exactly, which was a picture of a girl with balayage with sandy/​ash blonde color. On top of that, I had asked her to go lighter on the bottom, which is exactly what she did for me!
I’ve had terrible experience with bleach in my hair before at another hair salon so I was super excited when it came out exactly the way how I wanted! Definitely coming back!

AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING !!! bought the groupon after i read all of the wonderful reviews and saw the pictures of all the fabulous hair they’ve done! all i can say is that it is worth every penny!
Jessie and her team color corrected my hair after a different salon that I went to only 3 weeks ago totally messed it up! Fixed my hair from a copper/​orange color to the vibrant and rich looking eggplant/​plum color that i was aiming for initially!
My hair is super curly and difficult to manage but they did not give me a hard time at all like other places usually do!
super fast service and knowledgeable workers! they knew exactly what i wanted from the moment i walked in the door and booked my appointment in the same day!
I WILL DEFINITELY BE BACK FOR MORE ;) thank you Jessieeee!!!

I had a great experience at this salon. I came to get my hair done on the day of my photoshoot for graduation. Jessie the owner did my hair and it came out just the way I wanted! She used different techniques when it came to do my hair which was intresting.
I will be coming back to get my hair done for graduation, everyone who works in this salon is extremely attentive which is makes you feel good. The prices at this salon are also very reasonable which is important because you can keep coming back because it is affordable
Parking is also easy to find

Jessie is an absolutely amazing, sweet and talented hairstylist. She made my hair look beautiful and was able to achieve the color that I wanted. I would be willing to sit in traffic and travel from Brooklyn just to go to her (and I HATE traffic!). Not to mention, her prices are very reasonable considering I used to pay $ 280 for ombré. Thank you for doing such a wonderful job! I couldn’t be happier and more satisfied than I am now! I am officially Chinese New Year ready!

I was looking for a last minute blow out this past Saturday night. It was 7:30p and with everyone closing for the night, I called to see if they were able to take me. Lucky for me, they said they would.
Unfortunately I couldn’t find a spot to park, however they told me they would wait for me. What great service, not only did they wait for me, they took their time and didn’t rush me.
The scalp massage during the shampoo is numbing!!! Jessie has the magic touch with the blow dryer… no curling iron or flat iron needed. She left me with naturally bouncy hair and didn’t over charge!
Will definitely go back and highly recommend!

To start off this place is amazing not only do they use the best products herr they have an amazing staff as well.
I been following Jessie for the past 5 years from her main st. Location and she has NEVER failed me. She is by far the best dresser I have had and one thing she is honest and is up too style with the updated looks.
You wouldn’t regret coming to this place!!!

Great place. I used to go to a local place in a bayside for 15 years but when they got expensive I started going to flushing. I loved flushing. For 12 $ I got head massage back massage two washed and cut and 2 shampoos. Then this place opened up in bayside. For 24 $ they do the same thing. I would go here if you could afford the 24 $. They lady that washed my hair did a greattttt scalp massage. The gentlemen that cut my hair took my recommendation but suggested his own style. Honestly this might be my best hair cut ever. Everyone’s complimented and not just the standard you got a hair cut comment. I love this place. I’ll be coming back. Sorry flushing and local bayside stores.

This place provides a clean, courteous and professional service. I recommend Jessie to my friends and family.

Jessie does a great job with my cut and color. Best hair salon in Bayside. Must check this place out.

Have you ever went through a salon mess and your head’s color just simply isn’t what you want?! This salons hair stylist jessie (the owner) has never disappointed me! She’s been my stylist for almost 5 years now. Ive been salon hopping from one to another before I found her. She always give me the color that I desired for. She also manages to get the dye it on in only one try until I decided to have blond high lights. They also give you a free little shoulder massage after getting your hair washed. She did a great hair with my hair this time Again, i love and auoer excited about my new look!!! It always make you feel wonderful when you have a nice hair do;) y don’t u go get one :)

I loved this salon. I visited today originally for just for a haircut, but then I also decided to dye my hair because my hair was a hot mess from the previous dye job. My hair was way too brassy and orange but Jessie managed to make it fabulous. I was worried because I trusted the stylist at the last salon but that was a bust. An EXPENSIVE bust.
The stylists here are super nice and accomodating, something that’s not so typical in a Chinese owned salon (it’s true). No language barrier as well.
Jessie only charged me $ 130 for the dye and cut. Such a great deal!
Thank you Jessie and staff for saving my previous ratchet color. I’m in LOVE with my new hair! It even makes me wanna say… YAAAAASSSS! (and I never say that word…) haha!

The amazing abilities exhibited by Jessie and protégé are bar none. The services are, as the name suggests Excellent. They really do live up to the outstanding quality of service.
Unlike most full service salons, they nominally priced and provide high quality services that live up to one’s expectations of their craft.
Keep up the great work!

I wish I took a picture of my hair when it was done! I came here because my friend had just gotten her hair done here by Jessie a few days before. Walked in with my friend and were greeted very warmly and the staff were so friendly.
I’m a complete baby when it comes to getting my hair cut, I hate it and I’m VERY picky and nervous. The lady at the counter assured me I was in good hands. I believe that was Jessie (?) — love her! I was taken to get my hair washed — and for the first time ever my neck didn’t kill me when it was done. The seats are so comfortable. Not only that but the woman washing my hair massaged my head which felt amazing!
I was seated and my hairstylist was Reese. I told him what I wanted and he did exactly that! He suggested angles for my face, so I let him. He patiently put up with my nervous questions every few minutes about not going too short haha.
What I really liked here was also the fact that they don’t push you to do anything that would damage your hair like some salons do. They made suggestions to my friend about what colors she could do her hair with minimal damage. I was told that my natural hair was beautiful and that confirmed my decision to wait on coloring it too hastily.
The end result was absolutely beautiful! The blowout was killer and my hair has never looked healthier. I’ve gotten so many compliments.
I paid $ 30 in total besides tip for everything and it was well worth it. I’ll be coming back here to inquire about some other hair processes in a few weeks!
They also give a back massage when you’re done with your hair. Amazing!

Absolutely loved this new salon in bayside. I went in not knowing how or what to expect of my hair. I had only dyed it a month ago and it turned extremely brassy. With their help I managed to go from brass to ash. I’m so thankful for their excellent work on my hair. Everyone here is super welcoming and friendly. The interior is quite a beauty as well. Love love love this place. Amazing skills not only in cutting hair, blowouts, and dyeing but also does an excellent job on digital perms. This place also seems to know how to work with different hair types. This salon is now my go to place!

Gorgeous salon! The service here is impeccable. Literally the best shampoo/​scalp massage I’ve ever had. Jessie cut and blow-​dried my hair and I am in love with it. I’m usually extremely picky so this is HUGE. At these prices, I won’t go anywhere else. The quality is great, the value is great and best of all, my hair is great too :)

The service here is excellent, always happy with what Jessie does with my hair. the salon is very clean and the staff is great.

The best hair wash, massage and hair cut experience. Jessie is the best. She’s very friendly and professional. Try it out. You won’t be disappointed!

I went here for the first time last Saturday for a blowout. Liliana did a GREAT job! It had curl at the bottom which I liked a lot, and she really took her time to make sure it came out well and would last. I had such a great experience that I brought my friend for a blowout the same afternoon. The salon was clean and bright and friendly. I highly recommend!

Excellent 5-​star service. The salon itself is beautiful, everything is new and very clean (with good music in the background too, might I add!) The staff is accommodating and very friendly and took time to wash, cut, and straighten my hair and I did not feel rushed. My haircut came out great. Excellent prices as well. Jessie did an amazing job! Will be back for color next time!

Omg they really are excellent! $ 20 for a blow out and an amazing message! My hairs hard to work with and the blow out is perfect!

Finally, a place like this in Bayside!!! For years I had to drive to Flushing and deal with the traffic/​parking, to get what this place offers. No more!!! Here, they have someone that can handle any type of hair. I brought my whole family in, even the kids, and the owner Jessie was so helpful. Personally, nothing beats getting a scalp massage and a back rub when you go for a trim. This place is a gem, and is a great addition to the neighborhood!

AMAZING scalp massage while they wash your hair, FLEEK af haircut, and KILLER blowout. If you come here for your next haircut (and I implore you to do so), try to get Jessie! This was honestly the best haircut I’ve had in years, but I have even more to say about the service and friendliness here:
This place opened up just a few weeks ago and currently has a 20% off grand opening deal. That was the part that intrigued both me and my grandfather to get our haircuts here; my grandfather is 92 years old and has an onset of Alzheimer’s Disease. Regardless, the people who work here were never anything less than accommodating! They were so, so nice to him and took care of him as he waited for me to finish my haircut. For that reason alone, I plan on returning here for haircuts once I come back from school. Let’s also not forget the fact that my hair looks, lol.
To Jessie, if you’re reading this — thank you so much for taking care of both me and my grandfather! Hope to see you soon.

First of all, I want to start by saying I couldn’t be more happier for the owner jessie !!! I have been following her all over Main Street flushing for over 8 years !!! She is an amazing hair stylist!!! I have been all over queens to get my hair done and nobody can handle my hair !!! It comes out frizzy and they never get it right… Not only is she the only one that can handle me hair, but her prices are amazing ! When you visit this salon you will feel like you are in a spa !!! It’s the royal treatment of hair salons !! You need to visit this salon, so you know what I experience every time I get my hair done !!!

This is an amazing place with great people! They really know how to do hair! JESSIE IS GREAT! She can do anything to your hair. I’ve been going to her for a while now. The place is really modern and relaxing. Go check it out!!!
