Jackson Heights Life

Assia at Esthetiques specializes in Brazilian waxes. About $30 as well.

84-24 37th avenue at Shear Success, call for appt. 718-478-3258 (closed Sunday/Monday)

Isabel at Isabel's salon on 37th Ave. bet. 77/76 Street.  Not expensive but can't remember the exact price.  In the back of her salon is a beauty supply store that sells to the public and has lots of high end and popular shampoos, conditions, gels etc. etc.  A real hidden gem.

Thanks for spelling her name correctly.  I blanked and spelled it phonetically.  but it's Yola I'm talking about also.  She's great.  Been going to her for 15 years.  Love her and also Assia when Yola's not available.  they're both terrific.

I'm also going to recommend Isabel's salon.  They are one of the older, more established salons in the neighborhood, and they are not as sparkley as some of the newer places.  But the staff are skilled and warm and they know what they are doing.

If you've seen me on the street with really dreadful looking hair recently, that has everything to do with being a new mom, and nothing to do with Isabel's.   

Esthetiques ~ 718-478-3258, either Yola or Assia. You need an appointment, and they are closed Sunday and Monday. Best pedicure around, about $24.

84-24 37th ave at Shear Success.

I've been going to Yola for over a decade.  When she's busy, I see Assia.  Love them.  Wish Shear Success would spruce themselves up a little bit but I still go there.

Also, Charles Hair Salon on the corner of 86th and 37th across from the Bagel store.  Marie from Spain (there's another Maria  working there.)

I had my hair colored (single process), cut and blown dry.  With tax $59.  I've gone to Marie on and off and to Isabel.  I'm a hair stylist so can do my own color when I want and have stylist friends who will cut for free but I sometimes go local and like Marie at Charles a lot. 

A 2nd vote for Maria at Charles Hairstylist. She has been coloring and cutting my hair for years. She is great.
She has been also doing the haircuts for my husband and son. Also great.
The prices are right also.

I really love Jackson Heights.  I've lived here for two years.  And for the most part, the people and businesses are really great here.  I was just wondering if anyone else has had a problem with Nail 37.  They're located on 80-08 37th avenue. 

The workers there speak mainly Korean or Spanish.  I understand and speak both languages.  So, I hear everything they say about their customers.  And they do say some mean things.  The treatment of customers there is not a priority.  They're pretty rude. 

Last week was the final straw for me.  I was told to come in at 6:30 pm for an appointment.  I get there and waited for over an hour.  After they kept taking other customers that arrived after me - I spoke up.  They told me everyone has to wait.  So, I waited til 7:50 pm when they finally told me they were closing for the day and that I would have to come back tomorrow.  I told them I had my appointment for 6:30 pm.  They basically ignored me and started to close up. 

Apparently, this has happened to other people in my building and worse.  One girl told me she got foot fungus from there.  We're not going back there.  She's trying to report them to the Dept. of Health.  Any suggestions for nicer and cleaner salons in the area?  Thanks.
