Jeffrey Indyke Hair Salon dba From the Neck Up

03/16/2008 Posted by AlexanderVK

My wife had to look for a wig due to expected hair loss from a chemotherapy treatment. We called around town to find the right place for her to get a haircut to preserve her hair for donation to a child's wig, and to find a wig from her. We called a number of places, including Jeffrey's salon which was recommended to us by a young cancer survivor's organization. Jeffrey was very knowledgeable and friendly over the phone, so we decided to book an appointment with him. When you step into the salon, you know that you are in a place whose owner has a special aesthetic sense. Within a few minutes we both knew that we had made the right choice. Jeffrey himself is such a warm and open person and he put us right away at ease. Of course, you don't go to a salon for therapy. He knew exactly how to cut the hair so as to obtain it in a form usable for making a wig, and still was able to deliver a fantastic short cut for her, for the period before her hair will really starts to drop. We were aiming for a buzz cut, but he recommended that we do it in stages, which turned out to be absolutely the right way to do it. He has worked with cancer patients before, and was a wealth of information about the whole process. Then we moved to the wig selection part. We had already spoken on the phone, and he had preselected some wigs. We looked at the different options in his sunny salon over natural light, and were able to pick a piece that was almost identical to my wife's natural hair. He then proceeded to cut the piece and create a result that was amazingly natural, and indistinguishable from natural hair (to my untrained eyes) What had started as a very stressful day, ended up being as pleasant as it could have been given the circumstances. I can't imagine a better place for us to have been, nor a better person to have helped us than Jeffrey. We were very lucky, and hope that others can benefit as well.

Pros: Ambiance, Service

My sister and I noticed this store while passing by one evening decided to stop in (very beautiful inside). My sister, never satisfied with the cuts she received in the past because of her difficult, curly hair, decided to try Jeffrey. He not only helped her understand her own hair, but also did the same for me. For the first time since she can remember, my sister is FULLY satisfied with her hair. Aside from his expertise, Jeffrey's affinity for people was also obvious--we felt as though we had been friends for a long time despite meeting him that night (he stayed late to fit us in).

Pros: Very fun staff, very fun store.

Cons: Didn't find him sooner

I have to say, I never would have thought I could find such a comfortable place that also is so professional in what it does. Jefferey and Naomi make you feel right at home in their shop. It is a nice change from all of the very sterile looking shops with no personality. My hair has never felt and looked so good before I met these wonderful people. They really do take an interest in their clients and I love going back everytime to catch up and relax. They make me feel great about myself.

Pros: Quaint shop and personal service, Beautiful people !

Cons: I couldnt stay longer

Some relatives came in from San Diego and my Aunt & myslef just could not book an appointment anywhere decent. After lunch, we happened to walk buy Jeffrey Indyke's and decided to stop in. A women passed us on her way out the door and she had great color; so my Aunt says "lets try here" . Despite a full book, they squeezed us in and they were very friendly; we felt like guests in someone's home. My Aunt loved the "feel" of her hair and I was quite satisfied with my cut also. It's so nice to know that in this day and age there is still a place were the customer is also a person.

Pros: Warm service, reasonable price, Fantastic quality

Cons: Not on an avenue
