If You Want Beautiful Hair This Is The Place

by Diamond1012 at Citysearch

I have been following Robert for 20 years. I live in NJ and drive all the way to downtown Brooklyn to see him. I have very fine, delicate hair and have been coloring my hair for as long as I can remember. I did go to other hairdressers before I met Robert. I am convinced if I didn't find him I would have little hair left and it would be very damaged. My hair today looks and feels healthy. He is also the only one who was able to get my hair to grow long, which was always my desire.

Robert listens to your wants and needs but will ALWAYS only do what is best for your hair. Many times he talked me out of some of my crazy hair ideas which in the long run kept my hair healthy. He is a fabulous stylist but his true genius is in his color. He is a scientist. I get compliments from other colorists, when I am out, that tell me how amazing my highlights are. I am a true testament to his talent. It is truly not easy to keep my hair looking great but thanks to him I always look and feel good.

As a side note the other plus to Jet Set is Robert's beautiful wife and partner Dawn. They are a classy, smart , fun pair and it is always a pleasure spending time in their salon. If you want a wonderful salon experience and leave looking like a million bucks Jet Set is the place!!!

Nice people but poor color job

by secretshopper63 at Citysearch

I really wanted to find a good place to come locally for my hair since going into Manhattan is a half day excursion. The color really dried out my hair worse than the stuff you buy at the drugstore and the color faded from dark brown to rusty orange in 2 weeks. The woman obviously did not know how to assess my hair type and use the appropriate products. I had to buy color at the drugstore to correct it and that gave me better color and conditioning than what I got here. I do have friends in the neighborhood who tell me I should go to Robert and give it a second try which I may do. But I would rather take a couple extra hours and go to Manhattan and get it done right than get it done wrong in a convenient manner. The price was the same as my colorist in Manhattan so it's really a time saving issue for me.

• Pros: Very nice people work there
• Cons: The color faded 50% in 2 weeks and severely dried my hair
