Miss Jessies Salon to reopen in New York August 9th 2008




A frequently requested service at Miss Jessie's Salon is Steaming. This service is especially designed for super-dry and damaged hair. Steaming allows our deep treatment to penetrate the cuticle with moist heat. While the cuticle is open the mixture of water, heat and the deep treatment are able to go in and quench the thirst of your parched curls.



Cutting hair can be very intimidating for stylist because curls, kinks and waves can be unpredictable. Sometimes they shrink, swell or even kink up when wet. Many stylists think that wetting the hair will straighten and control the curl so cutting won't be so difficult. They don't realize this approach changes and creates more curl; making it impossible to check the accuracy of their work.

At Miss Jessie's Salon, we prepare your curly, kinky or wavy hair for an accurate cut by blowing it straight first. This really allows us to assess the state of your hair. We are able to see the true areas of damage or breakage, density, texture and length. It also allows us to impose a precise shape onto your curly hair. This is critical. Curly hair must have shape and balance to fall properly.


Thinning, carving and notching are common methods used to deal with the bulk and texture. These methods
look great in the salon (after professional styling and product are applied) but you are sometimes left with a haircut that is hard to understand when you go home.
Wearing your hair straight is even more puzzling because of the various lengths and densities. Be sure to choose the right cutting method for your curls, kinks and waves.

Choosing the right cutting method is critical to the growing out stage. Because of shrinkage, many Curlies
come in less frequently for trims. They need a cut that will maintain its shape.

At Miss Jessie's , we address the curl pattern and bulk with the "ANGLE AND BALANCE CUTTING METHOD. Through face framing angles, soft layering and light slicing. Our technique allows for a graceful "growing out" stage. In addition you will have the versatility of wearing your hair both curly and straight because the cut is balanced. The haircut will dictate the shape and the shape will dictate the final look of your hair.




Curly, kinky and wavy hair is inherently dry and porous. It needs all the moisture it can get. Because of the dryness, we tend to pile on oils, waxes and silicones to add moisture and to control the curl. The buildup from these products can prevent your hair from breathing, and may cause damage, frizz and dehydration. In addition, if you've had color services done, this too will add to dryness.

Miss Jessie's Salon has a Deep Treatment that restores balance back into the hair by combining a prescribed amount of moisture and protein. Our Deep Treatment penetrates each strand with a two-way moisturizing system which attracts moisture to parched areas as it seals in its inherent lubricants. At Miss Jessie's, we apply our Deep Treatment onto your entire mane. You are placed under a steamer for 20 mins. The steam allows the treatment to penetrate the hair shaft. Now your thirsty hair has been quenched.
