Had a hair cut by Rick. When he was cutting my hair, he asked why was my hair so long and said something like "your husband must like your long hair" and then laughed, which made me feel disrespected. After he cut my hair, he did a quick blow dry but my hair was still wet. He then asked me to stand up so I can see my hair with a mirror, but he was pushing my shoulders. I was never asked to stand up or got my shoulders pushed just to see the back of my hair. I felt that it was inappropriate and I felt uncomfortable when he touched my shoulders. I'll never go back. Overall a negative experience. read more

Great salon. Rick Wong has been cutting my hair for years and it is always perfect, He does great color as well. The salon is clean,comfortable chairs andthe best hairdresser in NY. read more

insulting and terrible service, rude, extremely bad job done, didn't listen to customer's requests- salon in very bad shape, vibe weird.

This is my go to spot for a local blow out, I love everyone at the salon. They always have music playing and lots of laughing and good times. Elvina and Cathleen are the most popular girls for a blow out. read more

Hairdresser was 30 minutes late, and was rude and defensive about making me wait. She then rushed my cut so that she wouldn't be late for her next customer. read more

I love this spot! Karyn G is a master stylist. I adore the entire staff. The warm welcome from the reception and the blow outs, cuts and color--I go there for every service my head needs, read more

I walked in into the salon on a Sunday morning when I just had open. I was greeted by a lovely woman who told me to take a seat as her colleague was on her way. Really warm atmosphere, quality service and beautiful staff. I got a cut, blow dry, wash and color refresh and I'm so happy by the results. Special thank you to Lina who gave my hair a summer twist. I recommend 100% I didn't take an appointment so I had to wait a little which didn't bother me at all but if you are in a rush make sure to call ahead to book something! Again amazing services and great quality/ price read more

Bleu Sur Bleu Salon - Hair Salons Near Me - Manhattan, New York

HORRIBLE customer service. The owner doesn't respect or care about the client's opinion. Aggressive and inappropriate response to a difference in opinion in reference to the outcome of a single color process service SHOCKING and RUDE. The salon should be called BOTCHED as that's how you will feel if you trust this place RUN and spend your money elsewhere read more

I'm not sure why they have bad reviews. Have only used this salon for blow outs! Always the best ever. Best wash best blow out!!!! Have been going for 8 years and I'm a regular!!!! read more

Beware!!! The owner of this salon is unprofessional. My daughter had a botched hair service and rather than the stylist offering solutions the stylist became aggressive and threw a book of color options at my daughter and proceeded to use vulgar language towards her and essentially kicked her out of the salon. The stylist said she was too busy to care. Don't waste your time and money. People like this shouldn't be allowed to interact with the public. She took advantage of the situation as my daughter is a teenager and she was the adult in the equation. RUN far from this place. I wish I could give zero stars. My daughter now has to find a salon that can fix the orange hair she was left with. read more

George was professional, friendly and accurate. He listened to my haircut description and gave me a perfect cut. He's my new stylist!

Although I cannot speak for the rest of the salon, I get my haircut here with Kathleen and she is fabulous. She has a great attitude and cuts my hair exactly the way I like - she doesn't try and take any artistic license which I appreciate. The salon could be updated, but based on my experience with Kathleen alone, I have to give it 5 stars. I don't really care about aesthetics if the person cutting my hair does a fabulous job. read more

Stay away! There's a reason why their blowouts are just $29. The blonde woman at the front desk is remarkably rude! She possesses zero interpersonal skills, which is interesting, as customer service makes or breaks a business - especially in NYC. Maybe she has the job on account of nepotism - but bleu sur bleu would be far better off with an automatic booking/check-in system... Or for that matter, a rabid animal! Don't waste your time. read more

If you want the best cut and a great experience, see Damien. He is by far the best stylist I have worked with. His attention to detail is impeccable and he is 100% professional. A seasoned stylist who constantly educates himself on the latest trends and techniques. I trust no one else with my hair. He understands my unique texture (curly / fine hair ) and styles me in such a way that I can easily manage on my own. I find his work especially wonderful during my "grow out" phase from a pixie cut. I could go 6 months without a trim and still have a beautiful styled look. read more

Bleu Sur Bleu Salon - One word:Damien! Whether I want an edgy pixie or a sleek bob, he never disappoints :) - Hair Salons Near Me - Manhattan, New York

See all

I went today as a walk in as I was in desperate need of a haircut. Like basically my hair was getting crispy af at the ends. I waited 7 months to get a trim because I was scared someone was going to cut all my hair off :-/ The salon was clean and nice, front desk was super friendly , shampoo was uhhhmazing. Karyn assessed my damage situation and suggested an olaplex treatment. So after the treatment she cut my hair into a nice long layered cut and blew it out beautifully. It felt like buttah when she was done. Reasonably priced for nyc as well. Also wanted to mention that when I was sitting at the sink with the treatment in my hair she did two blowouts and a haircut on other clients during that time and they were perfect also. Shes basically the Mr. Miyagi of hair stylists. Highly recommend. read more

I will be honest i am a hair snob. I went to this salon as a suggestion by my friend and I have to say I was very disappointed. The hair dresser yanked my head around and kept asking me to keep my head still. I wanted to tell her that if she wasn't man handling my head and yanking on my hair maybe my head wouldnt move so much. The hair products on her station were products that could be purchased in a drug store. I saw garnier fructise! By the time I was done the cut and blow dry was ok but for $72 I would have expected a more relaxing experience with better hair products than L'Oreal shampoo and drug store hair products. Needless to say I will not be back. read more

I needed a haircut and decided to try this place out because it's close to my work. I won't be back. Though the lady who shampooed me, and the massage chairs at that stage, were great (source of 2 stars instead of 1), Nora who did my cut was terrible. :( I have long hair with layers and I was looking to clean it up and add some Zooey-Deschanel-type bangs. I brought a stack of photos showing EXACTLY what I wanted. Nora seemed skeptical, but "agreed" to do it. As she cut, she started insisting "that's not what you want" (referring to my pics)... she then proceeded to give me a terrible 90's-looking cut like something Monica wore on Friends. TERRIBLE. I tried to get her to fix it, and she refused. Told me to come back in a week if I still wanted her to change it. I don't go to a salon and pay nearly $100 and expect to have to ARGUE with the hairdresser - or be forced to return in a week for them to finish the job. All I can do now is wait for her mess to grow out and try again elsewhere. If all you want is a shampoo, this place isn't bad, but I DON'T recommend a cut. read more

This is a traditional hair salon near NYU. They take walk-in appointments, at least for men, so if you need your hair cut quickly it's probably a good option. read more

I have been going to this location on and off for four years. I've seen a different stylist almost every time and I have never had a bad experience. I booked an appointment today for a cut with Amy and she did a fantastic job. I highly recommend scheduling an appointment with her. read more

I am extremely disappointed. I have been here countless times for their $29 shampoo & blow dry deal and paid $29. I always tip $10 because I am always pleased. Today, halfway through my blow-dry, I was informed by the front desk that it would cost $10 extra because my hair was thick. I protested, saying I had been there before and paid $29 every time. She said the prices changed. I said, well you should have told me before. She had nothing to offer. Hair half wet and with a party to attend, I didn't have any choice but to sit there awkwardly and then pay $10 more than I had expected to. I obviously still tipped, because I'm not an asshole, so the experience cost me $50. Ugh. I told her I would never go back there, and I never will. What a colossal disappointment. read more

I went in to get a semi-permanent hair dye that they promised would wash away in six weeks. I asked for a dark blond. The first go around didn't really work, so they dyed my hair again with what I swear was a different shade (The first they joked looked like cake batter. The second, they joked, looked like the color of the nose of Bobo the clown) I ended up with a bright red color that was wildly uneven (to the point where later my brother even asked me why I didn't dye my hair everywhere, incredulous that something so bad could be done at a salon). They took me outside to try and tell me it was the lighting and that they did not change the color, but when I went back the next day, they conceded that it didn't look very good. All they did was promise that it would go away, never offering to refund me or try again. Two months of using clarifying shampoo later, and I still have uneven red hair. I even tried using Color Oops, to no avail. What was supposed to be a temporary dark blond has turned into months of awful red hair that I'll eventually have to bleach, something I always wanted to avoid. Please do not go here. Trust me. Avoid them like the plague. Update: Let's say you DID offer to fix my hair (Which no one did. When I went in the next day, the stylist patted my hair, said it looked good and promised that it would wash off. The first time I heard the word 'clarifying' was when I called my mother in TEARS, who advised that I don't go back to the place that butchered my hair) - You still did a fundamentally bad job. Even if I HAD asked for red it was a red that was so uneven that I was embarrassed to go outside. The top of my head and the bottom were literally different colors. And it's been two months, well after the color should be gone. I went before my sister's birthday, which is on May 5th. Stop telling people the color washes out. It doesn't. Another salon confirmed my fears that this is permanent. read more

I have been going to Kathleen on and off for almost 10 years now, here and also when she worked at Jeffery Stein around the corner. I have always received an incredible haircut, and she is very friendly and charming. The girl who shampoos and massages is also fantastic. All around, always a great experience for a reasonable cost. read more

Gnarly experience. The person who washed my hair was extremely nice and good, but the stylist was arrogant and barely did my hair. I showed her a picture of a clearly blown out hair style with simple waves (which I had gotten done in the past with no issues whatsoever), and claimed that that was the model's "natural hairstyle" and that my hair was too short for it to look like that. Just for reference, when wet my hair goes past my chest, so I doubt that to be the case. The price is out of the question for such entitled service. Don't come here! read more

I just went to this beauty salon and I am beyond disappointed! First of all, they only gave me 1 shampoo and when I was about to ask for another one the lady was putting me conditioner. Then the lady that blew out my hair did a terrible job even when I explained to her what I wanted. I was done within 30 minutes and i have long hair. I would have done a much better job myself at home. I was beyond upset and when I explained this to management they did nothing to fix this mess. I will NEVER go back to this salon....no customer service and they think that they are doing you a favor. STAY AWAY. WASTE OF YOUR MONEY!!!! read more

First of all the place looks great and the staff all are very nice. I was there 2 weeks ago and I loved the experience. The chair massages as they wash your hair. Alvina did a great job on my hair. My hair is extremely dry, curly, wavy with a lot of split ends and kind of thick in the back. Alvina left it silky, soft & shiny. I had so many compliments at work I was truly extremely happy with how she did my hair Thanks Alvina!! Great job!!! See you very soon! read more

Would not recommend. I went here for a basic cut, and the stylist Azziz, cut my an hair additional 3 inches than requested. Furthermore, the entire experience was an opportunity for them to upsell (deep conditioning, products etc) and was far from relaxing. The nail in the coffin was when I got to the counter to pay (stylist was whispering something in the receptionist's ear) and they then proceeded to charge me an extra $10 under their new policy for "styling long hair", albeit the fact they chopped my hair to the point it was shoulder length and there was nothing to style. Receptionist was dismissive and very rude when I argued that my hair should not be considered "long". I was charged a $100 for wash, trim and blowout and was completely unsatisfied with the experience and results. Needless to say I will not be going back. read more

I am absolutely horrified to see such poor reviews. I come here every single week for a blowout and I am obsessed. I have gone to many expensive salons and paid up to $100 for a blowout and they don't compare to the one I get from Nora. She really knows how to work with long hair and does an amazing job. Blowouts with her last for days and she also cuts my hair. I have been going to see her for over a year and I bring all my friends and family members to her. She's the only hair stylist I trust in the city! read more

Carmen is the absolute best for an affordable blowout ($29!!!) and haircut. She does a great job and always makes my hair look amazing!

Went here because me and my friend decided we needed a hair cut and that we were bored. Kathy took care of me and she did an excellent job. My hair cut was awesome and it was silky smooth the next day that it looked like I had a Japanese hair perm. I've been dying to go back there because of Kathy but it is too far for me. They are opening one near my job soon so ill give them a try there. I really liked Kathy that is probably the reason why I would come back. When my friend had her hair cut, she told me they did a horrible job that my friend had to cut her own hair at the end. Other than that everyone there loved my hair also my friend! Kathy did a fantastic job on my hair! read more

I went back to Bleu Sur Bleu this week after Arielle went out of her way to contact me. After speaking with Arielle she totally changed my mind! I could tell she really cared about the salon and the clients that came in and out everyday. Her blowout was amazing it was exactly what I was looking for. Straight with volume and it lasted even the next day just with loose curls. I really appreciate that she made point to make this right. I have already made my next appointment. read more

Had a great experience. I walked in and they took me right away. Ask for Alex, he is so great. He did a great job washing hair, cutting and styling. Absolutely would recommend! Also a good price for NYC! Will definitely go back read more

I went there a week ago to dye my hair, because my hairdresser could never get the color right... Alvina understood exactly what I want and was able to get the exact color that I want... She is also very pleasant and positive person. Entire salon has a very modern and yet warm feeling. They are all very nice ladies. They do simple nice thing like take your coat to hang, offer you water and etc. Very clean and pleasant! Yesterday, I went there again to get my hair cut. Alvin delivered an excellent job! I have to be honest I was not sure about changing my hairdresser, but now I am definitely and permanently going to have Alvina as my hairdresser! Alvin is an excellent hair stylist! read more

I came here about two saturdays ago simply wanting a wash, trim, and blow out. The wash was great and the shampoo smelled really good. I had been doing layers in my hair for a while and wanted a change so me and the stylist (I'm not sure of his name because he never introduced himself) decided on removing them because I wanted my hair to look like it was retaining more length. He did a great job on the cut. However, I then asked for my bangs to be trimmed, which he didn't seem like he was greatly familiar with doing because they came out really blunt and uneven. Also, when going to blow out my hair he asked me if I liked it straight which I answered yes. He then proceeded to blow out my hair & flip the ends inward towards my face, which I do not like. I then asked him if he can just flip them outwards instead because I hate when my hair is blown out that way. He told me sure, no problem. He then started to curl my whole head of hair... After this blow out, my hair was so puffy and not at all what I wanted. My boyfriend told me I looked like a mom from the 70's. After my appointment I ran home & completely straightened the whole blow out over. However, the best part was when I was on my way home I realized they had never given me my jacket back, since they take them from you when you arrive. I was super busy that night & had no time to turn around. The next day I called the salon and let them know that I had forgotten it there and asked if it can be held for me. The woman on the phone told me yes, no problem. However, when I arrived there a few days later to pick it up, it was no where to be found. They asked me if a friend of mine or someone I know had come previously to pick it up. I said no, I had never sent anyone to pick it up. So basically, they had given my jacket away to some stranger. I am very upset and do not think I will be returning to this salon. Not professional at all. read more

Hairstyling by Damien Moran is very satisfactory. He is talented and he knows how to cater to the client to provide a great end result so Bleu Sur Bleu is very lucky to have a talented stylist like Damien on their team so I would recommend his talents to help bring out the inner beauty of you. read more

I have been going to one of the hair styling schools in Soho with great results. This morning, with an inch of gray, I was overrippe to get my hair colored and highlighted! Boo-hoo - due to a plumbing problem, the school cancelled everybody and I had to resched. Decided to walk in to Bleu Sur Bleu on 8th Street and see if Javier was there. I have used Javier in the past, and he's great. Lucky me! He was there, and they scheduled me for just a half-hour later, on a prime-time Saturday! Javier knew exactly what I needed - we both were in total agreement on the color swatches to use for did single-process color and 7 foils, which I wanted in my bangs as well, and NOT in the front. The color came out beautifully. Everyone there was so nice - the front desk person, the shampoo girl, and of course, Javier himself. He has worked as a hair stylist for 30 years. I also asked him to trim and thin out my bangs, which I am quite pleased with. The price was not as low as at the hair schools, but it was reasonable compared to other salons. With the professionalism of Javier, it was worth it! My hair looks really great - I will go back. read more

I absolutely love the service rendered here! My Stylist Damien Moran is Not a stylist he is a Hair Guru!! He helped me select a great color and cut my hair to perfection. He transformed my curls into a beautiful mane. He even gave me great advice on what types of products to use on my hair type. I even made my husband leave his barber to go to him. And we are not looking back. We might as well make him our family stylist!! I can't wait to go back. read more

I'm only giving this place 5 stars because of Kathleen. She's the best and the most patient with my hair. I've been going to this salon for 3 years, and I was a bit upset at the price change cause they decided to up my cost instead of the standard $29 cause my hair is long, considering I've been going for a while, but I'll continue being a loyal customer as Kathleen is my absolute favorite. read more

My go to for years and years. I get about two blowouts a week here. Every stylist I've ever been put with has been talented and has paid attention to any of my requests. I also love that the washing station has reclining chairs - super comfortable. The price and the quality are just great. Would definitely recommend. read more

Love BSB UES for a well priced blow out! I give it a 4 because in previous I've had one or two less than desirable washes and one bad style (was EOD and the hair dresser was rushing - ended up having to re-do my entire hair.) I'm a return customer, though, due to convenience, later hours, quick service, fair price and (usually) good quality. read more

Went in for a simple last-second trim of my fringed bangs that were expertly cut back in California. I walked in with beautiful hair, I left with a butchery. The woman had no idea what she was doing. I went in with Olivia Wilde bangs and left with Zooey Deschanel/Rooney Mara bangs. They were so thick and hideous that I felt robbed of my $10 (and I usually spend $100+ back home on my cuts). The people were also pretty snarky for employees of a low end salon. DO NOT GO HERE!!! read more
