David is THE BEST hair stylist in NYC. Over the years, he has given me--depending on my age and…read moremood-- blond & red highlights, dyed my hair black, given me blue streaks, cut my hair super short with bangs... also, he did my hair for my wedding and most recently he gave me a set of fabulous hair extensions that make me feel beautiful (and my husband can't keep his eyes off me). David listens to what you want and will make recommendations based on his expertise in styling. I've never left his salon unhappy, and I always feel more beautiful than when I arrived. If you need a good haircut, style, color, or extensions, I wouldn't recommend anyone else.

A hidden gem near Koreatown. Walked in without an appointment to inquire about a perm and haircut…read more Was quickly seated by friendly Ria and assigned Ai as my stylist. And what a fortunate thing I was, because I have now found my new go to person for all hair related needs. I highly recommend Ai for your stylist. Her attention to detail is superb and it is apparent she is a perfectionist as she even requested to trim my eyebrows to balance the cut against face shape. Reference this review and request her honest consultation for your intended style before getting a cut; I can almost guarantee you will be amazed by the end result. However, what ultimately made me leave a review was what Ai did NOT do. It was the fact that she advised me NOT to get a perm that day. She recommended it would be better to grow out my hair longer for the intended style. What refreshing honesty that prioritizes the best for your client instead of upselling any unnecessary service. I walked into NewHair with a quarter life crisis and a bowl cut. I came out 1.5 hours later having realized my full potential as a Temu BTS member, with the best haircut I've had in New York City. Thank you, Ai.

I really enjoyed my experience at Next Vanity. Once you get through the sketchy elevator (totally…read morethought I was going to get stuck in there), you will enter this beautiful salon. I love salons where I don't have to wait all day to get seated/styled. My stylist was on time and got me going right away. The salon itself is very modern and has plenty of seating room for clients while they wait to get seated. I also love that this salon is conveniently located in Herald Square, which makes it super easy to get to if I'm coming from work. The only downside to my experience was that there was no receptionist the day I came for my appointment so I had to stand outside a while before someone could buzz me in. Other than that, I'm looking forward to returning to this lovely salon.

Came here for the very first time late last month for a Trim. I must say this is the cleanest and…read moremost professional hair salon I've ever stepped foot in. My designated hair stylist was Carline, who was so sweet and thorough during my entire experience here. She would constantly reiterate the products she's using and the reason behind the usage. Also, she explained the benefits behind using particular hair products. Carline cut about an inch of my hair off in a healthy manner. I was thoroughly pleased with my experience here, especially the amazing recommendations she provided me with to incorporate into my haircare regimen. This salon is a bit pricey so I'm not entirely sure that I will be back but I appreciate the phenomenal customer service.

I had a very bad experience in this salon in my holliday in NYC,…read moreThe hairdresser is very kind but his work is dangerous (for me: dried up hair, headaches, skull burned). When I went out of the hair salon I was satisfied, it was very attractive but the next day, when I woke up I had the head which turned (because of the too strong smell), headache, nausea, and my friend who slept next to me too. ( Formalin?) I called the salon which told me to wash everything quick quick, Then Horror my hair were quite dry, damaged! I returned to the salon, (ANGRY) They refund me back $100 (I paid $370) and suggested me beginning again partially, I refused because I was afraid (my hair too!!) Then SURPRISED 4 days after my skull begun to make crusts and dandruff During 2 weeks! (It is dirty, crusts everywhere!) Finally, I asked for a refund but NO ANSWER! I saw another hairdresser's who told me that my hair were totally damaged (tratment to hard) I am going to have to CUT! And to buy care to catch up as I can... RESULT: - Headaches, nausea, head turn( too strong treatment) - Dry and very damaged hair (it is necessary to cut) - Crane burned (it is dirty and crusts) ---- NO REFUND FOR DAMAGE (just $100 / I paid $370) ---- I have to pay a new hairdresser now... So bad because the hair dresser looked really kind at the begining.

He did not appreciate me asking questions about his method but since I've had it done before successfully I wanted to compare the two methods.

I went to Catherine in dire need of a miracle. My hair was severely damaged from too many…read morehighlights ( and hormones) and the breakage had left my hair looking wispy, jagged and thin. I didn't think much could be done so had nearly resigned myself to a bad hair year. A friend suggested extensions and I went to see Catherine after reading great reviews about her work on Yelp. From the start, she was so warm and encouraging. She found hair that perfectly matched mine in color, density, thickness (blond, thin and fine) and created a beautiful halo that looked natural. I feel like me again! I was a little worried that I'd be able to pull it off (I am relatively low maintenance) but Catherine worked with my patiently to answer all my questions and to make sure I was happy with the way it looked. Brilliant work that even this beauty novice can pull off with confidence. Even boyfriend and mother can't tell the difference.

All hail the Hair Extension Queen of NYC!…read more I had been wanting extensions again for a while. It had been ten years since I had them last and I was a little bit traumatized by the experience of getting them out, as it had left my hair horribly broken and damaged. That said, they were done with synthetic hair. Real hair makes all the difference with the extent of damage to your own hair. Catherine only uses high quality hair and is an expert with weft extensions (in the past, I had pinch braid style). She works out of Uliana Hair Studio these days, a lovely salon in the East Village (I reviewed it separately). You go in for a consultation and discuss options, which include tape, sew-in or halo (non permanent). I went for sew-in as I wanted something semi permanent. My wedding was several months away and I wanted to get used to this hair thing before then. If you choose this method, you need to go in and get it maintained every 4-6 weeks to keep it looking good. The hair is so seamlessly blended with your own that you will forget that you don't actually have that perfect, thick long hair! It's so natural that you'll get more of the, "wow, your hair has grown so long" types of compliments. When I'd tell people that they were extensions, they couldn't believe it. Man, I wish my hair was this thick and healthy! I've had thin, lousy hair since I was like 11. Years of dying, flat ironing and blow drying hasn't done it any favors either. Prices are extremely fair in comparison to other salons, not only in NYC but across the country. Yes, this is an investment, but you pay for quality. It was worth it. I decided after my wedding that the sew-ins and the necessary maintenance weren't for me anymore. Catherine made my 2 wefts into a halo that I wear occasionally (OK, rarely. I've been digging the easiness of my shoulder length hair, especially in winter when long hair keeps getting caught in coats and scarves). Note that my hair was not really damaged at all after having the extensions in for 7 months. Incredible. Catherine is awesome. I appreciated that she was willing to work with me and what I needed as far as the length and thickness of the extensions (initially they were a bit too "much" for me, so she shaped them up and thinned them out a bit). I enjoyed talking to her and getting to know her on each of my visits. Oh and she is also great when it comes to dying your hair!

City Girl Hair Extensions does an amazing job and are extremely fair in pricing for the services…read moreprovided. I have been everywhere for hair extensions and they are very informed and super talented! They adjust the size of the bonds down to micro so that they are the least visible for fine hair and do not weigh heavy on the hair. The transformations are seamless and they can literally do anything requested! In partnership with the salon's colorists, you can achieve life changing hair results with the extensions - the quality of the extensions are excellent and they can be reinstalled for multiple rounds. The experience at the salon is also great; the girls are always so nice and excited to do their best hair magic. We take great photos at the end and leave feelings like a brand new woman! Definitely worth it.

After sitting down, I specifically told him I do not like blunt cuts and asked him to give me whispy ends with face framing layers. It turned out to be the quickest haircut I ever received and mind you I have very long hair. After the cut I noticed immediately that it was blunt which I mentioned to him but he insisted that I go home first and try to style it myself and if I'm still unhappy to come back. On top of the blunt cut, I got bangs that I never asked for????! How is that face framing??? It's like he never listened to me and just did his cookie cutter haircut that he does on every girl. Honestly I haven't been this annoyed over a hair cut in a long time especially after spending $300. This guy relies a lot on social media for business and when I told him I'm not an influencer, it's like I didn't matter?? He thinks very highly of himself and that he's better than other stylists from other reputable salons. This is based on our convo btw. What a piece of crap honestly I would never let him touch my hair again.
