Amazing work by America, for a men's haircut, she did an amazing job and matched the reference pic almost exactly. She was kind, hospitable, and efficient. Would recommend! read more

My first time here was about 11 years ago and submitted my 5-star review. Seven years ago I posted an updated review reaffirming my loyalty to this salon and noting once again how flawless my haircut was, consistently perfect every time. I finally moved out of NYC last August and was sad that it wouldn't be convenient for me to continue to go to America Hair Salon for my haircut. I got a haircut from someone else and was terribly unhappy with it. I decided that it was worth it to make the almost 3 hour drive back to NYC to America's yesterday and can't say enough good things. I LOVE my haircut. It's perfect. read more

Thank goodness for America and her wonderful business! It's not easy for me to find a hairdresser in another city that I can trust will understand my hair type that also takes walk-ins! I first came to the salon on a whim while searching for Dominican hair stylists nearby and stumbled upon the salon's fantastic reviews. The salon is clean and America is quick to warmly welcome you. Both visits she has been the person to take care of me and let me tell you, she is experienced, professional and kind. The price menu is always very reasonable, so I always feel like my money is well spent. Thank you so much, America! read more

America not being fluent in English is not a problem. We were able to communicate just fine. Although she didnt know it, I'm fluent is Spanish. I had many other issues like the wait time. If you have an appointment, chances are you will still wait. If you are expecting America to be courteous, you may be disappionted. And if she is speaking Spanish to someone else, chances are she's discussing someone in her chair, or another client she had and how fed up she was with that client. I've witnessed it on a few occasions. Lastly, get the pricing upfront. I saw her charge a non Spanish speaking person one price and then a Spanish speaking person a lower rate. They literally had the same texture and length. And if she is blowing out your hair, you may get burned. If you do and flinch, she may say something like, "that doesn't hurt. You are so sensitive." There are many other options in the area. Especially on 9th ave. And for all of the negativity, the blowouts weren't worth it. read more

So grateful that this salon is in my neighborhood, I've never felt more at home in a chair in NYC. Un rayo del sol en la comunidad! Nothing like starting your day with good conversation, a sweet connection, and a cute cut!! read more

America did a great job! I was hesitant to try someone new but she exceeded expectations. She washed, trimmed, and blow dried my hair. I was in an out in an hour. Highly recommend! read more

America took her time with me and addressed my concerns. My hair came great and I recommend this no nonsense salon to everyone in the neighborhood and beyond. Americas prices are reasonable. She goes the xtra mile for you and listens to what you want read more

Absolutely loved my experience here, I got my hair cut and dyed darker. It came out amazing the blow out was also amazing. America is the nicest person I have ever met she was super friendly which made the experience even better. I will def be back thank you so much :) read more

I've been coming to America's for 3 years now. She's so reliable and has cut my hair and trimmed my beard in different styles over the years. Each has been quite satisfying. My roommate liked me haircut, then he started coming to her. His brother liked his haircut, and now he comes to her from downtown. She's very good and reasonably priced (about 28 dollars for haircut and wash). She also makes me coffee when I come in, a nice extra touch from a very kind, professional hairstylist. read more

I'm a guy and very very picky about my hair. I find it really hard to find a salon that cuts my hair exactly how I want it to be cut. Jenny has been cutting my hair for over a year now and NEVER lets me down. I've had several hair styles from short to long and each cut has been amazing. Today I just walked in and she was ready for me, no appointment needed. It is better to make an appointment, I've had to wait up to an hour with out one because they are really busy on Friday and the weekend. Expect to spend about an hour in Jenny's char, she will not let you leave until the cut is perfect. Aside from getting a great hair cut the staff is always warm and inviting. So, you may think a great hair stylist is going to cost you $60 like most place in the area charge. NOT here, I was only charged $25 and left a $10 tip. Guys go see Jenny!!! You will fall in love with her attention to detail and bubbly personality. Ladies, I have seen their work it's amazing. I actually took a friend there for a blow out, she is part of the Miss Universe Organization, she said her hair never looked or felt better. read more

America (yes, that's her name) is professional, personable, very kind and warm. I wanted just a cut, no wash, no blow dry. I didn't detect a hint of annoyance, and she did exactly what I asked for. She didn't try to push any products on me-that's refreshing. I walked in in a desperate need for a haircut. My hair is fine and limp. America cut it "Italian style" ,with scissors only, and I got a wonderful, full body, layered haircut. The price was half of what other fancy salons charge in this area We chatted and I felt like I found a long-lost sister. Highly recommend! read more

Feel like a million bucks! Just left America's and can't believe how good my hair cut and color looks. Even a random stranger complimented me as I was walking home... The customer service is amazing as they pay attention to you the whole time. Not once was I left to squeeze in another appointment as many stylists do, and it was very much appreciated. America has a good eye and recommended a lighter color which looks awesome. Also, I had to rush toward the end for personal reasons, but America called over another stylist so the both of them simultaneously blow dried me in record time! What an experience. Can't wait to go back! read more

I keep coming here after trying out many other places in the area. America never upsets me and the saloon has a good vibe. I recently cut my hair with Orlando for the first time and he did a great job, just as if he had worked on my hair many times in the past. Both are very professional and respectful. read more

Nice salon but definitely overpriced! $95 for a haircut, wash and blowout. I suppose it's the price you pay in Manhattan but I'd rather travel fo Brooklyn to get my hair done for less than half that price. read more

America is an amazing hair stylist. She does a great job on my hair and is always friendly & professional.

Super friendly place and professional staff .. My blonde hair look spectacular every time I done it there.. staff work very serious and careful with each person .. excellent products .. read more

America Hair Style Intern - Hair Salons Near Me - Manhattan, New York

I called America Hairstyle looking for a blow out and could instantly tell from her friendly demeanor that she offers great customer service - I was not let down! I arrived shortly before she closed due to my work schedule and she was happy to service me. Upon arrival she took my coat and instantly made me feel comfortable. She was very interactive and accommodating. My hair looked amazing and she gave me recommendations to better nourish my hair when I'm traveling to different environments. I highly recommend America Hairstyle International and will return on my next trip to NY! read more

I really wanted to run home and write a review, but like any smart woman I wanted to wash my hair and see if It still looked as good after washing and doing it myself and also taking my new look to an office full often brutally honest woman to assess. Let me start by saying I am a hairdresser junkie. I vist in my home town no less than once a week, and have been loyally dedicated to my hairdresser for 9 years... No one touches my hair ever! But after 18 months travelling, the time had come and I carefully read reviews and decided America was my girl. Due to schedule conflicts (hey, I was in New York and there was so much to do!) America went above and beyond to fit me in after deciding my hair was a train wreck and needed some serious assistance. She listened, she worked and in the end she was MAGIC. I simply could not be more delighted with what she created... And make no mistake, this woman is a hair designer, the compliments have not stopped and additionally my mum loves it... Which speaks volumes. Visit America for an experience you won't forget, a hairstyle you'll want to keep forever, and a hairdresser you'll want to take home and make you and your hair feel that good everyday (and her coffee is pretty good also!) read more

I'm just now getting a chance to write this review....months late. Anyhoo, my best friend was in town from Miami and we decided to have a pamper weekend. This place is close to my house and I saw that it had great yelp reviews, so I gave it a chance. America was able to accommodate us with no wait. Both my friend and I have natural (unprocessed), coarse/thick, shoulder-length hair. My hair texture is softer, so I was quoted a less price than my friend. My friend was not happy about being charged more and America was very rude about it, but she went along with it to appease me. Since we have natural hair, rollers was not an option. My friend was blow dried first. Though she has coarse hair, its thin, so she can't take much heat. The blow dryer was extremely hot. My friend told the stylist several times that it was too hot. But the stylist claimed that was the only temperature and she couldn't turn it down because her hair wouldn't get straight. My friend sat there flinching in pain until it was over. As a result, her edges were fried and she ended up with bald patches. I was next to go in the chair. And yes, she was right, the blow dryer temperature was beyond hot! I also asked the stylist to turn the temp down or press the cool button, but she claimed she couldn't. By the end, my scalp was sore from the excessive heat. Granted, when we left the salon, our hair was bone straight, but at the expense of it being fried beyond belief. I definitely would not go here again, and I'm sorry I subjected my friend to this experience. Her hair is still recovering! read more

I've never complained about a haircut in my life. Until now. Two major issues. I asked for natural looking highlights, said not to use bleach. She used such light coloring that I looked orange two days later. Second, I asked for layers and she cut huge layers - very aggressive Rachel style layers. For 6 weeks now, I've worn my hair in a ponytail and I keep checking to see if it is long enough to get rid of the layers and start over. I honestly think it will be another 6 months (at least) before I can rescue it. Several people love this salon from the reviews here. . My advice would be if you go here for the first time, be very, very prescriptive. Do not say "natural" and "layers" and expect you will have the same interpretation. Bring a photo of what you want, what you definitely don't want. If you do not speak Spanish this will be even more important. And frankly, I'd stay away from coloring altogether. read more

I have been a client of America's for 15 years and she has always made me walk out of her salon looking like a superstar! America genuinely cares about you looking your best. She offers adept haircutting and coloring skills, prompt service (even when you walk in without an appointment) in a friendly environment. She knows when to talk and when you just want to veg out with a magazine. I trust only her with my beautiful hair and recommend her to all looking for a hair professional with reasonable prices who listens. Check out her new digs and sit back while she works her magic. read more

I have been a costumer of America's for almost 10 year. And she is amazing! I have super curly hair and she can really give me a killer blow out that last for days. Before I started coming to her I use to relax my hair and she told me to stop- she said relaxing and highlighting my hair would have long term consequences such as hair loss so I stopped and within the 10 years I have more hair than ever. She has taught me to take care of my hair. Her work is incredible and most of all she's versatile she can rock and tame anyone's hair. read more

As an African-American woman who wears her hair completely natural, finding someone to do a real wash and blow is difficult. I've been to a gazillion salons in various cities, especially New York, and America is absolutely the BEST, hands down. She will transform your hair from tight kinks to silky straight with care and finesse. America knows hair. The best part is, she does not rip you off. Her prices are affordable and she always does a fantastic job! Don't waste your time searching for anyone else. Go to America's! read more

I have been a customer at this hair salon for the past 2 years. I am VERY picky about who I let touch my hair. My hair is naturally curly but I like to wear it straight which can cause a lot of strain on my hair if not done correctly. Jenny and America understand hair. They tailor to YOUR specific needs and know exactly what to do to leave your hair feeling smooth, soft and shiny. They are easy going, pleasant and will make anyone feel at ease here. I come here during my lunch hour sometimes and they are very accommodating and get me in and out before I have to return to work. The prices are fair for Manhattan and you will be treated great! read more

I absolutely LOVE this hair salon. So far ive only gone to Jenny to do my hair and she IS AMAZING. America is so sweet. These ladies are absolutely amazing. I'm glad i found them They accommodate your work schedule. I usually go on my lunch break and I'm back in time and my hair looks flawless. Its not a rushed job its amazing. Everyone always compliments my hair when i come out of the salon. If you need a good salon this one is THE BEST!!!!. Tell them Laurie sent you :) read more

I really believe America the hairstylist is the best kept secret in Manhattan. She is an absolute "artiste". I was really lucky that day i walked by 5 years ago and gave her a try. I just got a superb-quality haircut, plus color and highlights for half of what it would cost me 10 minutes away on the Upper West Side, where I live. America will spend as much time as needed to get the job done just right. Plus, she has a great personality and is genuinely solicitous -- i was tired last time and she went out to get me a snack! read more

I just had the best haircut in years. I had let my hair grow out and I let my bangs grow out and I told myself, whoever cuts my hair now is going to have a full head of hair to work with. So I walked into America's hair salon - that's her real name - and having been in the neighborhood for years and hearing such great things about her - I decided to let America do her magic. I told her what I wanted the cut to look like, I pulled out a photo of a haircut that I liked - and she cut it exactly the way I wanted it! It came out great. I love the cut, the shine, how it flips just at the right angle. It's exactly what I hoped for. I highly recommend America Hair Style International for your haircut. read more

I've been coming to this salon for about 6 months now. America is very sweet and cares a great deal about her client's hair. She has everything that you need- a phone charger and a lint brush for your clothes. She's funny and will take constructive criticism about how you like your hair done. read more

I was on vacation and decided to treat myself to a shampoo and blow dry. It was better than a spa day! Truly a much needed scalp massage. It was Heaven. America was so pleasant - friendly but not overly chatty. She suggested slightly thinning my hair in the back and I just trusted her. My hair is super thick and it has made drying and styling my hair so much easier. We were staying in the "theatre district" which was convenient to many attractions. No matter where I stay in the future, I will find my way to her shop. read more

Back again! I have had a number of bad experiences at other hair salon when I want a color change or touch up, America always gets it right. She explains what she does during each process and what your hair needs to improve health and texture. read more

Awesome place to get a great haircut for a very reasonable price. It's a bit of a hole in the wall but they do a great job and it's very easy to schedule an appointment. The women working there are all very friendly too. I used to go to a fancier salon and this place does just as good a job! read more

Came through last minute. Was able to manage my natural hair well and looked great! Still looked fantastic even after a week.

I've been getting my hair cut and straightened by America and Jenny for almost 2 years. I love that America is so welcoming and greets me like I've been going there for years. I have natural hair and I'm very cautious about putting heat to my hair. But America and Jenny understand this and always treat my hair accordingly. After my last blowout, absolutely no damage to my hair. Will continue to come here for my hair needs. read more

America works wonders! She gave me an amazing cut and blowout, I was more than pleased with the service I received. She listens to you and she actually lets you know what works for you. I highly recommend her. read more

America is amazing! I had my hair color, a wash and set, and a trim done by her! I was very pleased with my results! Upon arrival to America's hair salon, I had a yellowish-blondish hair color in which I was not fond of at all. I was hoping to get a nice platinum hair color, which can be pretty difficult to obtain, however, America was able to provide with what I wanted and I was pleased with that. The great thing about America is that she knows how to use damage-free hair products on the hair to minimize breakage when it comes to bleaching, toning and/or dying the hair; therefore, since I am a satisfied customer, I will definitely be a returning client. Highly recommend since America seems to know how to work with all hair types as well! read more

great job, great price, especially for the area. Jenny's stayed open late to make sure my hair was perfect before.

I have been trying to find a hair stylist that can deal with my hair FOREVER......and yesterday I FOUND HER!!!!!! America is absolutely THE BEST!!!! She was able to straighten my hair without chemicals or frying it! I was so amazingly surprised and grateful!!! I was actually considering going back to perming my hair but now I can keep my natural hair going! I LOVE HER!!!!!!! I will NEVER go to another stylist. I'll be back soon for another wash and blow out and then maybe some color. Thank you America!!!!!!! read more

America has the golden touch! She's fantastic! When you have the opportunity to have America work her hair styling and coloring talents on your hair you will most certainly be pleased and amazed with the end result!! America's salon is cozy, pleasant and comfortable. America has a broad knowledge of different hair types and hair care processes -- relaxers, coloring, keratin, cutting, etc. She is attentive to all her clients making them feel reassured that they are in competent, professional hands.

All this hair care expertise at a reasonable, affordable price creates very satisfied customers who return to America again and again... like myself. I'm looking forward to my next appointment. read more

Hello I have been going to America's Salon for almost 20 years. When I started with her I had a short Afro. Thanks to her I now have shoulder length hair. Not only is she great with the blow drying, she actually teaches you how to do your hair and maintain it if you cant make to the salon. She definitely knows what she is doing. She is a good listener and follows instructions. I have gone to other Dominican Salons and trust me, they do not compare to AMERICA'S. If you want to have your hair done, feel at home and look like a million dollars when you leave. This is the place to go. Maybe I will see you there one day when I am doing my hair. read more
