The Coily Collective

Jan 06, 2025

The Coily Collective has been my haven for the past three years. I thankfully stumbled on a great article which highlighted talented curly stylists like owner, Jaxcee. I look forward to my coloring with Jaxcee every six weeks. She has lightened my hair beautifully and without causing any damage over the past three years. She is truly a goddess when it comes to color! I didn’t know how to care for my hair properly and she very kindly educated me on some great care tips and products during my first visit. My hair is healthier than it’s ever been. I get my cuts done by Shay and the time she took during my first cut was an experience! She really took her time getting to know my specific curl pattern before she even touched my hair with shears. I’d never had a stylist take their time with a cut like that before. Margaret gives the best head massages during shampoo and conditions! I feel so comfortable and like I have the best ‘me’ time when I’m there. Great conversation, music, laughter, overall a great experience. The location is by a ton of great food and coffee shops and is easy to get to from the J train. 10/10 recommend for anyone with coils or no coils. Do yourself a favor and book a treatment at Coily Collective.

I’ve been to a few different stylists here and Ritzy is my favorite. She worked with me to get the right style I wanted even though it took longer than expected. The space is quite small and I do think the prices are a bit high.

The Coily Collective is special. No matter your hair type, these ladies will take care of you. I've been seeing Ms. Shay for years and have no intention of letting anyone else handle my hair.

Coily Collective is a special place. Yes, it's a hair salon, but it also feels like home. From the cute, intimate decor to the attention to detail throughout every step of your service, you are treated with care. It's a treat to come here and feel myself. Top notch, high-quality services without the pretentious upscale salon feel. A true gem 💎 I highly recommend!!

This was my first time at this place and I’m disappointed. I saw reviews online and decided to book a silk press for an upcoming birthday. I arrived to my appointment on time and my stylist was available and got straight to work. She gave me some advice on flat ironing my hair at home and some product suggestions. She was sweet and easy to work with. Why 2 stars? I booked a silk press with cut/trim and I did not get a silk press. My hair looks more like a blow out that I did myself and this is only HOURS after I left the shop. While my hair feels soft, it is also a tad dry. The trim I got was decent, but I think more should’ve been taken off. My hair I noticed also had a slight burnt scent as I walked home. Nice as the service was, I would not return or recommend the silk press, especially considering the price of hair care these days.

Everyone here is amazing but Imani holds it down with doing my braids I will always book when I need them touched up very professionally and so nice and welcoming they always come out so tight and I hardly feel her pull heavily recommend booking her

I came here from a recommendation in a group chat and had a great experience. I saw Shay Gomez and she took such great care styling my curls as I wanted them done a certain way for headshots. While I was there, I also saw her do silk presses and they looked amazing. The hair washing experience was top tier.

Jaxcee was a 10/10. I’m Egyptian with coily hair and she understood exactly what I wanted for a silk press. She barely used much heat and my hair came out feeling silky smooth! Felt great to have my hair understood by a professional with intel and care. Will be returning back for other services :)

My second visit to this hair salon and I plan on returning. I wanted something new and Jaxcee came through with my color and Shay with a silk press and cut. I am beyond grateful for the professional services provided.

A great place that is deft in caring for, styling and maintaining the all of the different hair types of Afrodescendants. It was my first time there and I was taken quickly although it was an extremely busy time of the year before NYE. They focus on you and so you are not there for hours and hours unnecessarily. I just had a silk press done but my hair had been damaged and I had lost about six inches of length. I had a restorative conditioner and my stylist took out the time to guide me in options for my hair as it grows back and had amazing and creative ideas that really reflected how I am as a person and what i am comfortable with doing. Everyone at the salon was kind and professional. They were all friendly. Being from New Orleans, this is really importabt to me. There is water and tea and other beverages. It is located in a huge building. The entrance is not on the main street but rather around the corner next to a modern furniture store. The receptionist is astute and everything is streamlined for you. Many people seem unaware that there is such an amazing salon that caters to Afrodescendant hair types in this area but there it is and it is a gem. I definitely recommend it.

Best colorist around and the entire team is incredibly warm, hilarious, professional and accommodating. I moved across the country for school but still visit The Coily Collective to get my hair done when I’m back in NY because I don’t want anyone else doing my hair…they’re that good!

I got my hair colored here and it was great. Leanna was really informative about the coloring process, it was my first time, and the color came out great.

I got my hair cut and styled by Ritzy, it came out amazing. Definitely worth every penny!

I loved my salon experience with the coily collective. Not only got a much needed trim, but learned a ton about hair care for my goals and needs and the style came out perfectly!!

I was reschedule many times, and was not able to speak to anyone when I called to obtain an explanation. I was looking forward to having my hair done and had to find someplace else.
