JACK, owner
Started his beauty career in 1979.
Resident stylist of Hoboken since 1990.
Opened Mad One Jacks in September, 2000

Jack has 28 years experience working in the beauty industry, which has afforded him with the opportunity to work with and learn from many different and varied professionals. He’s mastered a wide range of techniques picked up along the way, from classic barbering techniques to modern, state-of-the-art texturizing methods.

For women, whether hair is long or short, Jack uses a variety of texturizing techniques to create a seamless, layered look that grows out exceptionally well. This works exceptionally well with one length looks and thick, volumous hair. Don’t settle for an average haircut covered up by a fancy blow-out. He typically finishes his cuts with a straight forward blow out, then texturizes to perfection afterwards. He can also coach you with easy steps on how to blow out and style your own hair at home. With fine hair, he’ll wow you with his advanced cutting and maximum texturizing techniques as well. He is also advanced in the art of dry cutting and styling curly hair.

In cutting men’s hair, rather than mandating a single cutting technique, Jack uses electric clippers, scissors, and razors. He customizes his approach based on each individual’s needs.

With color, Jack puts to work the newest coloring techniques available. A straight forward single process or classic highlight can take on a new dimension with minimal effort and expense, whether it be a classic, blended, natural look or chunky highlights and lowlights.

He also does well with children, having 2 of his own; a young girl, Jade and a new baby, Guy. He empathizes with parents who feel their kids should have a quality haircut at a gentle price. Kids shouldn’t have to settle for a poor haircut because “they’re just kids”.

Jack has also been doing hair extensions since 1985, Japanese straightening since 2002, perms and relaxers, as well as event hair and updos.
