Candy & Jimmy Nail & Hair Salon

Candy and jimmy are both Very nice people. Friendly and genuine. Do there best to quickly accommodate me since they know I have two little kids. They work fast and go not slack on overall job because of it. Hair always comes out nicely. Excellent service and good results. They blow out my hair weekly and I have used them for cuts and color on various other impromptu occasions. Def recommend

I had a haircut and blowdry done by Jimmy and make up by Candy they did an amazing job! Really great atmosphere, place always kept clean, everyone there was friendly. Highly recommend they are the BEST!!! Of course i definitely go back!

After moving in the area and I had to find a new salon as my salon in Sheepshead Bay is quite far. As I passed by this place, the man comes out while a customer was leaving and asked if I had any questions (while I tried to understand their service menu displayed outside). I asked him about hot oil treatment and he said, come in and we will do it. He was fairly nice and helpful, answering my questions. However, the lady who took care of my service was not so much.
The lady who took care of my service was the same lady who washed my hair and put my hot oil treatment in. I also asked if someone was available so I can do my nails after my hair. She noted she can do my nails while my hair is getting steamed. So I agreed and she painted my nails as if I was a 5-​year old. Polish everywhere. Why? Because she her eyes kept wandering around and kept trying to talk to each coworker passing by or near her. After she finished painting my nails, I thought like any other nail salons I go to, she would use nail polish on a q-​tip to remove polish that she painted on my skin. Nope. She walked away. I had to wait for her to pass by 10 minutes later, to ask her to if she wouldn’t mind to help me and give me a q-​tip with nail polish remover so I can remove the polish off my skin. Because I obviously, looked like I went finger painting with nail polish.
Never again.
After the steaming and washing, my stylist was a young woman (early 30’s) and she was nice. She took her time to understand how to cut my hair. However, when she was blow drying my hair, she was also busy looking for coworkers to talk to. So I had to tell her a few times, she is burning my skin as I try to move away from her blow dryer.
I felt like this place has its negative and positive points.
If you’re looking for decent acceptable service, it is not here.
If you’re looking for an average price and just need someone to do the job, come here.

Very disappointed! I was excited to come since the reviews are good. When Jimmy cut my hair, he didn’t want to cut according to my request, he’s surprisingly stubborn, and burned my skin when blowing. What’s more, he was extremely rude to my fiancé. When I was asking my fiancé opinion, he was like, «Don’t listen to the man next to you.» What the heck does that mean?! Luckily, my fiancé does not understand a word of Chinese. This is unacceptable! However I was still nice, respectful, and gave tips everything. This is definitely not a place I would recommend anyone to come. And for sure, I will never come back again.

I went with my fiancé to the salon for her haircut.
While I waited jimmy the barber refused to listen to our opinion on how we wanted my girl’s haircut.
With out me realizing, the guy talked in mandarin to my fiancé and told her not to listen to the guy next to her!
Luckily for Jimmy, I was not aware of it.
In conclusion we ended up with a haircut we did not choose and the rudest reviews ever!
I will never recommend anyone to go and get there haircut at that place.

After reading the reviews about this hair salon, I finally decided to give it a try. The wait was extremely long, but in the end, it was totally worth it. You should probably make an appointment, even if it’s a haircut. Once you get seated, however, it’s quick. Jimmy knows what he’s doing so when I saw the new haircut, I loved it! Best haircut I’ve had in a while.

I came here after work after reading the previous reviews. Everyone is really friendly as mentioned by others. I really recommend the hair treatment, only $ 5 and the massage itself was worth it! It gives similar results to an oil treatment but it takes less than half the time.
I also got a haircut and Jimmy was really specific at confirming what i was asking for. The cut was exactly what i asked for, i enjoyed the service and time and will probably go back for nails next time~

I like this Jimmy fellow. Seems like a nice guy!
I got a quick trim here after reading the Unilocal reviews — $ 12. I tipped $ 3.
My hair essentially looks exactly the same — which is fine. BUT, today I noticed my layers don’t match up any more. On the shortest layer, the right side is longer than my left. And I saw a couple of longer strands and a patch that was trimmed more bluntly.
It’s not horrible. But as I am going to get my hair dyed in two weeks, I’m going to have to pay again to cut my hair so that it’s even. A little disappointed. I guess he could have paid more attention to measure it up?

On a Friday my bestfriend and I walked in for a hair coloring consultation, Jimmy the owner was very nice and meticulously helped us choose colors. We chose 5.26 and 6.5. We went saturday to get our hair dyed, it was about a 3 hour process.
Hour 1 – 2
Lady with short hair applied hair dye with a brush and she was very careful making sure my whole head was covered. After applying the dye she placed a plastic wrap over my head so the color would be better absorbed. Then we waited for an hour.
After waiting an hour we went to get my hair washed. She used at least 3 different shampoos/​conditioners, it was an AMAZING treatment. She then asked if I wanted the $ 5 special conditioner and massage I said yes. It was almost like a princess treatment! My hair felt amazing.
Hour 3–
I sat down and prepared to have my hair blow dried .
The hair blow dryer first blew it out straight, then he straightened it and applied this special mousse/​Argan oil treatment.
Overall, this was a great experience and I can’t wait to come back for my hair cut!!!
Cost of shampoo/​dye /​special treatment: $ 45 with $ 12 tip for hair dyer and hair blow dryer

To be honest, I don’t go to salons often, but this one was really good. I’ve been to a few salons, but I haven’t had any experience like this one. At first I was expecting to spend about 2 – 3 hours in silence while waiting for my hair to be dyed, however, I was proven wrong. They staff kept a conversation going as much as possible so I didn’t get bored. Even though I went with my best friend, we didn’t really talk much throughout the process so it was nice that the staff talked to us. Another good thing is that they do provide consultation when it comes to dying hair. My best friend and I walked in the day before we planned on dying our hair to look at the color palette. We both walked in with different colors in mind. After the consultation, we both ended up choosing colors that were different from what we had in mind. I’m glad they gave us the consultation because we’re both very pleased with the colors that they helped us choose. Overall, the service is very good and I would definitely recommend this salon to a friend!

I was impressed by the service and by the price. Love my hair and I got it done for a really good price. I am glad I came to this place, I was going to spend a lot more money if I went to the other salon I went to last time for the same quality of service.

Went to this salon for the first time, and I got to say I am really please with the result! I had my hair dyed to brown color, got a hair treatment, and a cut. The lady who did the dyed job recommended me the color, and It came out to just what I want. The lady who washed my hair gave me a nice head message, which I really enjoy. I believe Jimmy the owner gave me a hair cut, which I think is the best hair cut I have had for a long long time (at least 10+ year). He spent a lot of time and attention to make sure my cut is good. I also really like the fact that everyone who works there are friendly but not «overly friendly» (too talkative or too many questions or suggestions). And the whole experience only cost 65 dollars! (50 for dye job, 10 for cut, and 5 for treatment) It is totally a steal, I would be willIng to pay double of that price and still be happy! Highly recommended!
Fyi, some people mentioned that this place might not have nice interior or deco. I can see why they say that, but I am totally fine as long as it is clean. It reminds me of the salon I used to go to back in hong kong when I was a kid. And from what I see, most of the customers there are return customers. (The stylist asked one customer how was her party last week. Another customers said she will come back in a few days for high lights since she is in a rush today etc)
Love it, will definitely return!

I’ve come here numerous times to get my nails done (mani and pedi) and also a quick trim for my hair. Recently, I’ve tried the UV gel mani twice already. First time, lady missed the edge spaces on my nails (I know it happens), so I decided to give it another chance. Same thing happened. I made up my mind, I won’t go back for another UV gel manicure.
Haircuts– Jimmy usually gives me the trim. Simple and quick and doesn’t charge me more than $ 20 because I have long hair. He makes sure to cut to the length that I ask for and nothing more. I’m attached to my long hair. You females know exactly how I feel. Jimmy listens and delivers my requests. I love him! I know the owners, so they always greet me and have small talks with me. I’d come back here for the haircuts, but not the UV gel manicures.

Jimmy charges $ 16 for a haircut but I would pay $ 100 for it. He’s consistent, attentive, a perfectionist, and really really wants to please his clients.
I’ve been getting my hair cut the same way by him for several times: just trim and keep the layers. I went back last month to go for a drastically different and short cut. He warned me and said it was going to be very different, but I had faith in him! Lo and behold, the length and shape and everything was perfect.
It’s unbelievable Jimmy spent an hour perfecting my cut from every angle and charged me only $ 16 for it. Thanks to him, I totally proved my friends wrong when they said I couldn’t pull off short hair!

Thanks to Elein T.‘s recommendation (first to review below), I got a fabulous haircut with Jimmy.
First off, I was really on a tight budget and needed to get my haircut for the lowest price I can possibly find. Chinatown is already pretty cheap by other people’s standards (~$ 25) but I was really on a hunt for cheaper.
So when I talked to Elein and she said this place did it for $ 16 (and trust me Elein has nice hair so I wasn’t worried), I hopped on for a 45 minute train ride to Bensonhurt.
When I first walked in, I thought — what did I get myself into? Definitely not very tidy. Everything seemed a bit dated. Not as modern as the salons you have in Chinatown for sure.
I saw a man, and assumed it was Jimmy. I assumed right.
FYI I spoke to him in Chinese (cantonese to be specific) the entire time.
Me: How much for a haircut?
Jimmy: Do you need to wash your hair?
Me: I washed it this morning… so no?
Jimmy: Okay, $ 10.
TEN DOLLARS!!! Helllll yes!
He asked me what I wanted and I told him I really just needed a 2 inch trim and just layer my hair so that is isn’t so heavy. And as always, I stressed that I do not want a mullet. He heard me loud and clear.
So he spent a good amount of time on my hair. Like an hour. Pretty meticulous. Gave me advice on how to shape my hair to make me look older. Bangs or no bangs. When I asked him to cut it off more, he said it will look like a mullet. I’m glad he saved me from that nightmare.
And we chatted quite a bit in Chinese. I know his life story, how old he is, how old his children are, his hometown in China, etc. And he was very impressed with my Chinese.
He also mentioned most of his clients are white. I didn’t personally speak to Jimmy in English, but if his clients are non-​Chinese, I would think he should be okay.
Back to the hair. You never know if your haircut turned out well until you go home, wash, and wait for it to dry naturally. It has not been a couple of weeks now, I am happy to report it was the best $ 10 I have ever spent.
All in all, if you are looking for a budget haircut and do not have high expectations on the look of the salon, give Jimmy a try. I was really happy with my $ 10(!!!) haircut. I will be back!
PS– make sure you go when the D train is running both ways!
