I was very pleased with my haircut by Maria. I got many compliments by my friends on how good my hair looked..

I've been going to Maria since September 2024 for a chic bob cut - her style is FLAWLESS. I let my natural silvers come in back during the pandemic, but had a hard time getting the right cut to balance my natural color with my youthfulness. Maria knocks it out the park every single time! The angle, precision, and finesse of my hair afterwards is amazing. I'm always complimented on natural color and style. Thank you Maria!! read more

Maria did my daughter's hair and it's horrible. My daughter went in for highlights and came out with three different hair color. She put a toner and now she has patches. She was rude . When we went to speak to her to see if she can fix it she replied I can't do a miracle. Shd ruined my daughters hair. She unprofessional and has poor customer service. read more

My first experience at Contempo was excellent. The owner, Christina, is a real professional and so talented. I got highlights which exceeded my expectations. I showed Christina a picture of the effect i was seeking and she delivered perfectly. Vibe at the salon is friendly and the staff made me feel at home. This is my Mom's salon and now it is mine. Visit with confidence !!! Joan M. read more

I have been getting my hair done with Maria for many years. She never disappoints! I'm a natural brunette; Maria has beautifully dyed my hair ash blonde, blue black, and even red. She has given me highlights, balayage, and religiously cuts my hair whether it's long layers, blunt cuts, or asymmetrical bobs. Im very high maintenance with my hair but she has never complained about any of my requests - she just gets it done! The staff is friendly and professional. I am always greeted when I come in and have even been treated with mimosas. There were instances where I was running late for my appointment yet was still accommodated, no problem. I have only had positive experiences at Contempo, so I do recommend this salon as such. read more

Could not be happier with the service Maria provides. My hair has greatly improved since I have started seeing her. I have long curly thick hair and she is a master in her craft. Love her and it's a joy seeing her. read more

I had my first ever appointment at Contempo today, with Maria. it was an outstanding appointment! Maria listened to what I wanted and gave me better than I could have imagined! My color and style is fantastic! Maria is so nice and you can tell she cares about her customers and made sure I was comfortable at all times. The rest of the staff was so friendly as well. one went to the deli for me because I hadn't eaten and was starving! It's a great place where great people work! I will definitely be going back to Maria. read more

I LOVE going to get my hair done here! I've been going to them since they opened and the staff is absolutely amazing, extremely professional and I'm always satisfied with the work they do! I was in desperate need of a change as you can see in the photo attached, and Stephanie, who is one of the hairdressers at Contempo, gave me exactly what I needed and wanted. A retouch of my highlights, a much needed cut, and a better feeling of myself overall. I'm so happy with the results! Definitely recommend! read more

Contempo Hair Designs - Cut and highlights - Hair Salons Near Me - Yonkers, New York

I came here to get a balayage done by Stephanie and got over grown discolored highlights. I came back to correct this, only to have my NATURAL HAIR turned green, blue, gray..... I can't even begin to explain... my hair was then STRIPPED and was yellow & just horrible. She then attempted to dye my "roots" to give me the BALAYAGE I CAME IN FOR! Fast forward. My hair was not at all what I wanted. Not only was it not what I wanted, it was dry, a strand of my hair was completely burnt. I was charged the first time 150$ I took my business else where in hopes of getting this orange brassy discolored hair fixed to what I wanted (or at least close) I ended up spending an extra 200$ on getting this mess fixed! Plus products etc. I contacted contempo hair design via there online website explaining my frustration and that I felt that I should be refunded my money for the damage and extra cost of repairing my hair color .. which shouldn't have needed repairing if it were done properly. I did not receive a reply from Cristina (owner). Mind you, she was present when all of this occurred. Any how, I hope this helps anyone who may have intentions of going to this place. If I could give zero stars, I would. before and after photos read more

I went to Contempo to get a balayage hair color process. The owner, Christina, was who I had an appoint with. When I got there she had the assistants coloring and highlighting her hair. She was going on a trip and said she needed it done. She rushed my hair color, paid no attention to how long she left the bleach on for because she was getting her color washed out and, as a result, my highlights got over- processed. When the assistant took off the folks she said "oh boy". Then had the assistant put a toner on it. The toner did not cover the unprofessional, horrible job she did on my hair (see pics). The color is split as the top of my hair is dark and the middle to ends are light with no ombré transition in between. When I asked for my money back just for the highlights, she refused. DON'T WASTE YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY AT THIS SALON. IF THE OWNER CANNOT GET A COLOR JOB RIGHT THEN WHAT DO YOU THINK THE QUALITY OF HER STAFF IS LIKE? read more

Maria did my hair and burnt about 4 good chunks of hair off. I don't care what anyone says if your a good hairstylist this should never happen. My hair has been dyed blonde plenty of times and never once broke. She left it in too long because she was to busy worrying about other customers even though I had an appointment. On top of it she didn't even blow my hair out properly or straighten so besides getting a shitty dye job my hair left still looking like shit. One employee that came in after I was about to leave asked what are you going to do to your hair today not knowing it was already done ! 240$ later my hair looked the same ! They should've showed me in the salon how much they actually burnt my hair off.. never again read more

Stephanie has being doing my hair for the last 2 maybe 3 years, she is an excellent at everything she does from highlights, cuts you name it. The girls at the front desk are always friendly as well. I've never left the salon disappointed!!!! read more

Front desk staff sucks! Even if they were on the phone, they barely looked up at you. Also, one time the front desk girl was in the middle of the salon just chatting away. Got the groupon for the 3 Shellac manicures. You have to make sure you make an appointment, NO WALK-INS because she usually is already booked up. The manicurist was very thorough and even asked before assuming if I wanted my cuticles cut. I was there for just under an hour. The first time I went, one nail chipped the next day and I had to go back to get it fixed. Thankfully she was able to squeeze me in. The second time I went, one nail chipped about 4 days later. For my last of the 3, I chose to do white. It chipped that same day and I was just so fed up. They all ended up peeling off within 36 hours. Maybe I just use my hands a lot at work, with typing, filing, etc. but my most recent time was completely unacceptable and I had no energy to go back again, nor will I ever return. read more

Got a blow out at contempo hair salon with Stephanie and she was great very sweet and friendly girl. She was able to help remove some extensions I had on ! Very clean and nice salon . I like the fact they have other things as well such as eyebrow tinting threading. Facials and other services! Basically one stop shop!! read more

Have been going to Stephanie for years now! You can count on her to do a fabulous job and always gives me the best hair advice. Also was my stylist for my wedding and couldn't have made me and my bridal party look more beautiful! #HairGoddess read more

Just had a fabulous shellac manicure here! She let me try different colors and was patient because I could not decide and was not feelin the pinks! I got a hot color ready to start the new year! I inquired about hair because that's what they do most. But she is a terrific manicurist and they do a great job. She took me right away because my time was limited the rest of the day. Thanks so much! read more

Loved my first experience at contempo! The shop was clean, all the staff in the store were super sweet, and the service was exceptional! Stephanie did an amazing job my balayage. She worked with me to get the results I wanted but with a way less damaging approach, she definitely knows what she's doing! Samantha was also really attentive, easy to talk to, and gave me such a nice wash. I'll be going back for all my hair needs. read more

I come to Contempo from Boston to have Ana Badia put in a relaxer for me because she is the BEST! She is always careful and timely and always does an amazing job! I would recommend anyone to her and would recommend anyone to come to Contempo! read more

LOVE this place! This is the only hair salon I trust with my hair. One very important detail I pay close attention to is that the stylists here, especially Maria, are very attentive, professional and most importantly, fulfills the client's exact requests. I have extremely long hair and whenever I go to a hair salon and ask to trim my hair, they cut more than requested. This is the ONLY place in Yonkers I've been to so far that actually TRIMS my hair. They cater to the client, in the most respectful, professional way. This place is amazing, staff are really friendly, it's a great environment, and they even treat their clients with mimosas on Saturdays! Perfect location for a day of self care. Ask for Maria! read more

The Contempo Hair Designs salon offers all hair services and more. Professional and welcoming. My hairdresser, Stephanie is a true hair artist. If you want someone who understands the art of color, cutting, updo's, extensions, and so much more, Stephanie is the one you want to see. I highly recommend. read more

She said yes I asked for a full head and she only did half a head and totally forgot a lot the bottom of my hair She left out gaps and large spaces that she did not high light Instead of Puting me under the dryer she made me blow dry my foiled up hair myself instead of the people who work there I had to sit there and do it myself LMFAO and the boss there said " u see what we have to go through "? Haha" she laughed Ummmm but I don't work here and I'm paying u ass holes to do my hair are u kidding me ?! Patches of my hair came out brassy orange I said hey Maria you're going to fix this right She says " I can't help you're hair is so dark " I'm like excuse me but I'm paying you to put it How I want it At the end my hair wasn't at all what I Wanted My hair was still dark I had like 6 little highlights that weren't even blonde like I wanted they were gray Lmfao So much for a full head of blonde highlights She cursed me out cuz I didn't like her work She yelled and fought with me right i front of boss I never in my life felt so disrespected The boss didn't say a word Nobody offered to fix my hair they could care less Maria is a lazy very sloppy hair stylist She gives a half ass job and it's very rude and nasty She rushes through it all 0 stars Staff is disgustingly rude But Maria takes the cake i Wouldn't suggest that women touch your hair ever !!!!! Nightmare !! read more

The staff are so/so anf act like they are a clique from high school. My nails came out streaky and didn't cover the whole nail. My haircut was okay but kind of generic. I wouldn't go back and wouldn't recommend to a friend. The prices are a little high for the service you're getting and everyone walks out of there looking the same. read more

LOVE this place. Amazing staff, everyone is great and I get my hair done by Maria she is great listens to the client and is an amazing colorist. She gave me exactly what I wanted without any damage! Gave my the perfect hair cut didn't do anything I didn't ask for. Very clean place and great decoration. Definatly never leaving this hair salon read more

I love the amazing work Stephanie Does on my hair. She is a perfectionist and pays attention to detail. Stephanie listens to what YOU want. Amazing colorist, I'm so happy I found her. The rest of the staff is friendly and knowledgeable as well , prices are reasonable and salon is spotless !! read more

Beware if you are doing an ombre color... Came here expecting to get a natural and soft looking ombre color on my brown hair and left with the bottom half of my hair orange and with a very obvious straight line separating the two colors. This is clearly not what I expected and is not how an ombre should look - It should blend with the shaft hair. This was a horrible dye job... Another thing was that the hairdresser freehanded my color and did not care to take the time to wrap my hair in foil which made me feel as though she was taking the easy way out and rushing. Its not like this color was cheap either... It was very expensive and for nothing because I had to chop my hair off in order to get rid of this orange, damaged, straw hair that I was sporting. Very unsatisfied and this look was extremely unflattering and even embarrassing. Another thing was that I was not given a receipt for the services that I paid for, UNPROFESSIONAL and NOT going back. read more

Christina does a very good job of cutting and blow drying. The prices are very reasonable. My only gripe with her is that if I made an appt with her she should be the one doing my hair. Instead she pawned me off to another junior stylist. I found that to be unprofessional. read more

Elaine is an amazing stylist, I ended up booking her for my wedding last year, and I didn't think she could top that... but she has! I went in for something totally different for me, I wanted some funkier colors, and she wove the reds and purples into my hair with the balayage technique. Her love for the industry absolutely shines, she's a true artist and you can tell that she loves what she does. So glad I took a chance on a Groupon a few years back, I couldn't be happier. Very cute inside with a friendly, fun loving staff and reasonable prices too! read more

So I use to go to Contempo while it was still at its old location while I was in school, but stopped going there when I went away for school. Tried different places but nothing ever compared to the service they provide. I saw the sign on Central Ave again a few weeks ago as I was leaving work and was soo excited went back the next morning and made an appointment for the same day and got my hair cut! I give them 5stars because they are clean, well spoken, well behaved, and very professional with there service & recommendations to what would work for me. After my visit few weeks ago i referred 3more people who felt the same as i did after there visits. Looking forward in going back again next month. And I would continue recommending them as long the service & environment remains the same =) read more

I went back and the owner "fixed" it. Yes the two sides are even now but I look like a boy. Like Sammy Hagar in the 90s. New I have to find someone to do extensions until it grows out. Dont bother with this place. Worst mistake ever. I'm distraught over my horrible hair. If it was cute and too short I'd say ok maybe but it's awful and I'm afraid to go shorter. read more

Continue to be a satisfied customer, Christina is GREAT! I have actually referred 3 more friends here & they are equally satisfied.

I was in need of an alternate stylist/colorist to fix the botched up double process I had gotten at a salon I have gone to for about two years. I was also hoping to find a new salon to call home, to be comfortable with the staff and hopefully click with my own personal stylist/colorist. I was pleasantly surprised to be welcomed by a friendly staff who couldn't be more receptive in trying to help solve my problem and get me back to happy.....Christina and Stephanie were professional and caring and put a smile on my face after getting my hair exactly the way I wanted it for more than half what I paid not even a week prior!!! I already scheduled an appointment for a cut and style in two weeks by Stephanie whom I found to be awesome!!! So happy I found them online...God works in mysterious ways!!! Anna read more

Great place! Staff is extremely friendly. Christina is wonderful with color and cuts and did a great job on my hair and I had a powder manicure with Theresa that lasted 3 weeks! I would highly recommend this place. read more

I went here on a recommendation from a friend. I went for a cut and color. My stylist was very sweet but kept questioning my decisions. First we started with color. She left the color in my hair for about an hour. During that time she was waiting for another clients highlights but proceeded to hang out with the girl and the girl's boyfriend. She then had to cut the girl's hair so the color was in my hair even longer. Then it came to my cut. I showed her a picture and she sounded like she understood what I wanted but in the end my cut looked nothing like the picture and just some generic layers which are not on one side of my head because I part my hair to one side. Im currently dealing with an I hate my hair phase! She then had another client after me and towards the end of my haircut I felt rushed. Overall the staff was very sweet I just think some of the stylists need training in professionalism and time management. read more

Worse shellac ever! Got it done Saturday afternoon, Monday two nails are completely ruined! The rest peeling! NOT GOING BACK! Total waste of my money! read more
