Jai was amazing! She is so sweet and great at communication, but most importantly she is incredible at her craft! She 100% understood my vision and even was able to change the tweaks I wanted from trial to wedding day! Thank you Jai for giving me the wedding hair of my dreams!
I’ve worked with Jai before as a bridesmaid for other weddings so I knew I’d be getting exactly what I wanted. She helped my vision come to life and I looked absolutely perfect on my wedding day thanks to her!
Jai is the absolute best!! She was on time, did my hair (bride) and 7 others, and finished just when she said she would! Everyone was super happy with their hair and it all lasted all through the night. I get so many comments about how elegant and sophisticated my hair looked, and it lasted through all of the dancing! She is also super sweet and easy to chat with. Thanks Jai :)
I was fortunate enough to find a referral for Jai Claire Hair through a Bridal Facebook group. I was searching tirelessly for a stylist that would handle my unique curl pattern. Previously, I was discouraged to find a lot of stylists who advertise the same few hairstyles the bride chooses. I was fortunate to find she had an opening for my wedding day only 2 months in advance. Jai listened to all my my concerns with how my hair could react to the weather and dancing all night. My trial was perfection. She was actually excited to experiment with my hair, incorporating my crown. The day of my wedding, most of my guests complimented my hair and said I looked like a princess. I actually did feel like a princess. My hair and crown stayed put and looked perfect the entire day, just like she promised. I will forever look back at my photos with pride that I didn't settle for anything less with my hair.
I found Jai in a search for the best wedding day hair, and soon found out why she achieved that title. When I emailed to inquire about her availability, she was responsive, informational and professional from the start, and I booked her right away! At my hair trial, I knew I had made the right choice. Somehow, she transformed the description of what I wanted into the perfect wedding hair style. Not only is she an incredibly talented hairstylist, but she is an incredible person! She’s friendly, outgoing, charismatic and was such a pleasure to work with as we planned for our big day. When COVID postponed our dream wedding she was very receptive and understanding. Now fast forwarding over a year later, our wedding day turned out to be a day after Hurricane Ida. Jai walked through flooded water and made every effort with make it to the venue on our wedding day. We couldn’t have been more surprised when she showed up, did 8 girls hair styles exactly how they wanted it and made us all feel beautiful. She never even flinched when I told her I changed my idea of hair style and added a hair piece! I can never thank her enough for the dedication and effort of walking through hell and high water to get to my bridesmaid and I that morning!
Jai was AMAZING! I had to postpone my wedding a whole year due to the pandemic and she was extremely accommodating throughout the entire process. When we did the trial she answered all of my questions and even offered some helpful tips on where to get accessories and her honest opinion on what she thought looked best. Myself and all of my bridesmaids were extremely impressed with how awesome our hair looked and how quickly she got through it. I loved her energy and would definitely recommend to anyone who is looking to have their hair look amazing for their special day. Thank you for the bomb hair Jai!
They were wonderful.. came on time which was not easy since that was 3:45 am. They were happy, personable and listened to all our different requests. Thank you so very much!
Jai was amazing to work with. I’m so glad I found her! She did beautiful styles on everyone and was fun to be around! Thank you Jai!!
Jai is EXCEPTIONAL!!! I was having a hard time finding someone who could achieve the style I was looking for and was starting to feel a little hopeless (brides want everything to be PERFECT, come on now!) After a trial with Jai, I knew I wanted her there on my special day- she is so talented and has such a warm, great energy. Everyone looked and felt gorgeous plus- at the end of a hot, sunny, 95 degree weather summer day, we all still had our curls/styles. I felt so beautiful on my wedding day and can not recommend Jai enough!!
Jai was fabulous. We did a trail first and I brought pictures and hair accessories with me. Jai did her magic and we found my up do for my wedding. The day of the wedding Jai was on time which helps a lot to keep you calm. I had 2 girls with drastically different length hair . Each girl gave Jai a description of what they were looking for and she produced for them. Of course I looked much better then them 🤣 . Some of my guests were asking for her number for future events they have. Jai was amazing , my hair lasted all day. We even were taking pictures outside, and it was a little windy. I will definitely use Jai again.
Jai was amazing and easy to work with and mine (bride) and the bridesmaids' hair came out amazing and lasted all night. Definitely would recommend!!
Jai was so awesome to work with for my wedding! She was responsive, friendly, and able to accommodate my wedding postponement! She was also able to fit in a trial with me when I had limited time in town. Her hair styles are awesome and held all night! Check out her Instagram to see what she can do! I highly recommend booking with her!
Jai is an amazing stylist. We did a trial for my wedding hair months before the actual wedding and I really appreciated how she reached out in between. She sent me so much good advice about products that work best for my hair, everyday styling tips, etc. and I felt completely comfortable with her on my actual wedding day to deliver exactly what I wanted. Her prices are beyond fair and I really really appreciated that she was able to travel to me the day of.
Jai was fantastic! She was available fairly last minute for my mini ceremony, and was extremely professional about scheduling and doing my hair and my mom's hair on the day of! Both my styled hair and my mom's blowout were great, and Jai was friendly and lovely to work with - with definitely reccomend!
Jai was amazing on our wedding day!! Because of COVID, our wedding plans had been fluctuating constantly. About a month before our proposed wedding date, we finalized our plans and I realized I didn't have a hairstylist yet! I reached out to Jai on such short notice, and she worked with us in every way she could. She showed up completely prepared, had a mask on the whole time, and she did an amazing job on our hair!! I had a half-updo and received so many compliments on the braided look. I would recommend Jai for her professionalism, flexibility, and sheer talent!! In times like these, you want someone who can do an amazing job while also making you and your bridal party feel comfortable, and Jai did just that and more!
Here's how talented Jai is - I showed her a picture from Pinterest with a vague comment of "I kind of sort of want this but with different curls and a different style." I have no idea how she found a way to translate that into something beyond beautiful and more than what I'd envisioned, but she nailed it. She was so easy to work with, easy to communicate with, and incredible accommodating with a last minute location change. Can't wait to work with her again at our big reception next year!
I couldnt be happier with the way my hair turned our for my microwedding! Like many brides in 2020 my big celebration had to be moved multiple times. We decided to still tie the knot in 2020 and push the main event out until next year. Jai was so amazing during all the changes, super supportive and understanding. When the day finally came, she went above and beyond to make it extra special. She arrived to my house ontime, was super sweet throughout and made me look like a fairytale princess! My hair stayed in the whole night, even kept up pretty good the next day. My only regret is that she is already booked for my 2021 celebration. I would highly recommend Jai to any bride looking for hairstyling needs!
Where do I even begin! She did such an amazing job on my hair for the wedding. She has so much knowledge and was a pleasure to talk to while getting it done. She was able to capture exactly what I wanted and it stayed in place all day. I couldn’t have been happier with how it turned out. I recommend 100%
Jai was so sweet and worked so well with me as the bride. She was able to create the look I was looking for (even with small changes last minute) and it turned out so beautiful and lasted the entire day. Will definitely recommend jai to friends and family!
I would highly recommend Jai! She was amazing and everyone loved their hairstyles. I worked with Jai during my hair trial to find the perfect hairstyle for my big day. Due to the pandemic, my wedding day plans were changed. We wanted to do a ceremony on our original date, but change our reception date. I wanted to keep my hair trial style for my reception date, and we had no time to do another trial for May. Jai was so accommodating with all the changes and also responded to my emails quickly during a very stressful time for me. She also suggested hairstyles that went with the new look that I wanted and styled my hair perfectly. My mom, mother in law, and sister also got their hair done that day. We all have different types of hair and Jai was able to give us all the look we were going for! I’m so excited for my reception in January and for Jai to be our hairstylist for the big day again. 100% would recommend Jai - she is absolutely amazing and does beautiful work!
There aren't enough stars to give to Jai and her team!!! During my consultation, Jai listened to everything I was looking for and nailed it on the first shot! I was nervous (as any bride would be) that I was not going to get the same result on my wedding day, but she delivered, and exceeded the results of the trial . My hair was beyond perfect!. This was the easy part... Next was my bridal party (half of whom didn't even know what they wanted to do with their hair as I had no rules for them). She and her team worked with everyone and figured out what hairstyle would be best for each. The results were beautiful and everyone was pleased! Then there was my mother in law (whom I love dearly)... She knew exactly what she wanted but was having a hard time conveying it. Jai and her team worked with her through it for as long as it took. They were the ultimate professionals, and I can not say enough good things about them. They had the professionalism and the patience of a saint! We had a very strict window, and even with our hiccups, they had us out the door with time to spare! Since my wedding I have moved to NJ, and Jai is my go to for all my hair needs!!!
Jai was the hair stylist for my cousins wedding this past weekend for the bridal party. Even with our very early start time of 4 am, Jai had the greatest personality and energy to get all of us ready. She was very sweet and understanding of our unique Indian traditions and made every effort to ensure the day would go smoothly. She is very talented in her work and I would gladly recommend her for any and all hair needs!
Jai was my hair stylist for my wedding day- she styled me, my mom, and 6 bridesmaids. Everyone looked and felt incredible. I actually went to my trial being unsure what I wanted and she helped to give me emotional support about my stress on top of working her magic to create my dream look. I can’t recommend Jai enough!
Jai was the perfect match for my big day! My bridal party consisted of children aged 9 through 15 and she was incredible throughout the whole day. Jai listened to each girl about what she wanted, made suggestions to ensure they were both satisfied and that their hair would last through the ceremony and pictures! All while suffering through the soundtrack of High School Musical all with a smile! She was professional, relaxed, knowledgeable and so sweet with the girls!
Jai has done my hair for 2 weddings and I will continue to use her. She is a fantastic stylist. Her attention to detail and the care she puts into all her work shows. She is so delightful and personable. It's like you're working with your best friend. She takes the time to talk with you and give you examples of what she can do or thinks would look best one you. She takes her time and is a perfectionist. If she doesn't like it, she's fixing it! She wants you to look your best for your day.
Jai is absolute perfection. As I saw her pictures of her work online, I knew without a doubt I wanted her to be part of my beauty team on my wedding day. She had done a hair trial for me that was amazing! I got it done at 9:00 in the morning and went to try on my wedding gown at 7:00 at night without a hair out of place. Jai made me look at feel like the most beautiful bride in the world on my wedding day. I am so thankful that she was there with her team to beautify myself and my bridal party. Everyone was beyond impressed by their punctuality and professionalism the day of as well as turning dreams into realities not only for me, but for my family and friends in my wedding as well. Hiring Jai was not only an easy choice, but a solid choice at that. She was with me every step of the way discussing what to do in order to have a perfect day. She made me feel like I was working with a friend and knew how to make me relax and feel comfortable. I highly recommend Jai Claire Hair for any special event you may have coming. Don’t miss out, she is the best in the industry! Thank you again Jai for being a part of making my special day even more magical!
Jai and her team were everything! Jai was recommended to me by another hair stylist in the area (who was booked for my wedding day), and I could not have been happier with the outcome--I was so privileged to have her as part of my wedding team! My hair trial was so fun--Jai made me feel comfortable, confident, and beautiful; she listened to all of my ideas and concerns around my hairstyle and had answers for everything. She and her assistant, Melissa, were prompt and cheery on the wedding day, and the bridesmaids and my mother were all delighted with their hair. Jai & Melissa worked with such ease, and everyone looked and felt beautiful. Jai is genuine, professional, talented, and joyful in her work--I cannot recommend her highly enough!
I was so so pleased with my decision to have Jai style my hair for my big day. She made great suggestions, allowed me to have a second trial and did not disappoint when the day came. Big bonus is the girl is punctual!! We all know important that is the day of. Thanks for making me feel fabulous Jai!
The minute I got engaged, I just knew I needed Jai to do hair for my wedding. I was ecstatic when she was available, and still am now with the outcome. I was a winter bride 12/22/18. From the very first call to Jai, she was a pleasure to work with through the whirlwind of wedding planing. She handled all aspects of the planning very professionally. Her communication was always prompt, and she always made my questions feel welcomed. Jai helped to keep me organized with giving me suggestions for my own hair and setting up the time frame for my bridal party and I on the big day.
After my hair trial with Jai, my excitement grew as I could envision my wedding day more clearly; she helped me find the exact look I was going for to fit my dress and venue. On my wedding day, Jai made the getting ready part run seamlessly. Her timeframe was perfect, as she accommodated my bridal party and I. We all LOVED our final looks. Not only did my bridal party adore their own hair, but my guests also raved about the beautiful updos and half- updos. Jai really listened to everyone’s requests and delivered them flawlessly. Since my wedding, numerous guests have inquired about who did hair for my day!
Jai helped to make this important day absolutely perfect!
Jai was absolutely fantastic!! She made me feel so comfortable and was so sweet from the moment we met at my hair trial and through out my wedding day. My hair was exactly what I was looking for and all of my bridesmaids were just as happy as I was. I am so happy that she was a part of making me feel beautiful on my wedding day and I highly recommend booking her to make you feel the same!
I don’t think words can justify how amazing Jai is. She did my hair for my wedding and I was absolutely obsessed with it. She listened to everything I wanted and it came out exactly how I envisioned in my mind. Shes so patient and understanding. She also did my hair for a wedding I was in and it came out perfect. I got so many compliments.
I have used Jai numerous times for styling my hair and makeup for weddings I have been in. She is truly amazing at what she does and there is a reason I keep coming back. Each time I have shown her a look she achieves exactly what I want with perfection. She is amazing at what she does and extremely personable and friendly, I highly recommend her.
I had my hair done by Jai for a wedding I was in, there wasn’t too much I wanted, except needing it off my face and shoulders... without much input or help from me, she was able to come up with a style that I loved and made me feel absolutely beautiful... and that never strayed through a night of dancing and fun!!! She makes you feel comfortable all while listening and trying to execute perfectly the look you’re going for. I then used her the next month for a wedding I was going to were she was able to again give me a perfect updo letting me dance the night away. Jai is definitely a go to for any special occasion... leaving you looking breath taken.
Jai is truly an amazing hair stylist. She works with you to make sure she achieves your most perfect updo while making you feel beautiful all at the same time! She is sweet, friendly, and all around wonderful at what she does! She shows true dedication to whomever she is working with and never seems to disappoint. It was a pleasure using her and leaving her feeling like I was a million bucks!
Jai Claire Hair is amazing. Jai did my hair for a special occasion and nailed it. She listens to what you want, offers any ideas in case you don’t, but does it in such a way that makes you feel heard and comfortable. She is a true professional and artist of her craft. I would recommend her all day long to anyone and everyone looking to have her as your bridal stylist or for any special occasion. She will make you look and feel absolutely beautiful!!!
I chose Jai Claire Hair for my wedding because of the other outstanding reviews she had gotten from other brides I know and clients she has done for special occasions. I gave her a vision anD she nailed it. I was INCREDIBLY happy with my wedding hair. It stayed beautiful even between pictures outside (it was a bit windy and even drizzled!) and four hours of non-stop dancing. I look back on my photos and just love the way I looked. She is professional and knowledgeable but also really friendly and fun to work with. I hope to use her again for other special events!
