A simple scissors cut soon turned into a deeply unpleasant experience accompanied by an unfriendly, distracted person from the outset. This brief encounter definitely did not end like The Barber Of Seville, and a visit to Sweeney Todd next time sounds far more enticing. read more

Had to give a deposit to get an appointment. No one answers phone left messages, got elevator music for 15 mins. Etc. Then on the day of the appointment I got a bill for $250 before the service even happened. Then called to inquire. They told me they did not know. That I should talk to her. She is an independent contractor. I said I dont have her phone number.Heard whispering in back yo tell me she hadcovid and was cancelling. Waited a month! Looked at bill finalky found phone number contact info was in attachment. Dont bother with these people. They Act like I am at fault or dont care. So mad! read more

I just want to say thanks for not contacting me and trying to make my hair right after Bernice messed it up. That's just not good business. No one even said they were sorry about it. I'll never go back there again. I went and got it fixed elsewhere and it looks magnificent. No thanks to you people. That didn't care enough to contact me afterwards. People beware!! D read more

I chose this salon based on Yelp listing it as "affordable." The salon's website says a Senior Stylist charges $38 for a 45-minute haircut and $55 for an hour haircut, and that was what I expected to pay. My stylist was good. She listened to what I wanted, did a good job, and laughed at my jokes. The place was clean. The staff seems to get along. If the price had been even in the vague vicinity of what the website quotes, I'd have made my next appointment when I checked out. My hair is short. The whole thing took 45-miniutes. And my bill was $68 before taxes and tip. I guess that's "affordable" in LA or NYC but it seems pretty high for Albuquerque for a haircut (and nothing else). My complaint is as much with Yelp as it was with the salon. read more

I've been going to Marcus D'Ambrosio for over 15 years. He is always professional, welcoming., and a truly an amazing stylist. Kevin has also cut and colored my hair and is fantastic! I've gone "natural" within the past year and Marcus made the transition easy and fun. If you want great experience with stellar results, don't hesitate to try this salon. read more

My visit was with Kristen and I must say I'm beyond happy! I hadn't been taking care of my hair in years, just was brush and put in a bun. My husband continuously shared his love of how long my hair was(yep was). I showed my inspiration picture at my consultation and she reassured me with pictures of her clients. I want to share that I was so happy when I left I cried, my husband loves this look more than the long hair and I can't see myself ever going anywhere else again! read more

A hair stylist, who was not even the one working on my hair, was rude and embarrassed me in salon. I left the salon in tears and had to call to make payment. I expected the manager to reach out to me, but never heard from him. This stylist thought it was appropriate to call me out and embarrass me because I was "too picky". This was my first time to this salon and first experience with Jazzmine. When I sat in her chair, I disclosed to her my OCD disorder centered around my hair and how I can particular because of my internal anxiety about my hair. It is not easy trusting a new stylist, especially when you have diagnosed anxiety. The way I was treated was insensitive and cruel. I will be sure to let my friends and patrons at my downtown business know that they should not give this salon their business. read more

I always schedule with Devonne and am very happy with the results each time. The first time I tried this place out, I had a deep conditioning treatment and a haircut. My hair was very soft and looked healthy after the treatment. After making this my regular salon, I finally felt comfortable enough to do full highlights. I've been maintaining my highlights for about 10 months now. I always leave this salon feeling/looking really good. I LOVE this salon and the products they have. I highly recommend this place. read more

D'Ambrosio Designs Hair Studio - My hair after my appointment with Devonne. Full highlights and a hair cut. Very happy with the results! (As always.) - Hair Salons Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

Marcus is great! He is very skillful and listened to what I wanted. I am so happy with the results.

I scheduled an appointment a week ahead for a cut and color. I was very excited because this was a special treat for me to celebrate that I had lost 50 pounds. I got a call two days before my appointment to confirm, which I did. I showed up five minutes early for my appointment. The stylist who was in assured me that my stylist would be there shortly. Twenty minutes after the appointment the other stylist calls to find out where my stylist is and informs me that my stylist is out of town and the owner will call me. The owner called me from his home I'm assuming, and apologized that my stylist was stuck out of town but someone should have informed me, which no one did. He then said that no one could do my hair, except for maybe a cut. So disappointing that I was willing to drop a few hundred dollars on my hair and instead got my time wasted. Luckily, Ulta got me last minute. I will never go here again and I would suggest you try elsewhere. read more

The girl at the front counter didn't end up giving me the $5 off deal even after I checked in and showed her the coupon on my phone-at the tie I figured it was $49 because the small tube of style cream was $20, but then I saw later it was $14 and since "junior" stylists charge $33 (I was told on the phone when making the reservation) my bill should have been $42 and not the $49 (not including the $10 tip I gave)-so be sure to double check prices. That said, My stylist Camilla was great! Very professional and friendly and I loved my haircut and how she styled it! I have long wavy hair, so it's not the easiest to deal with. Divonne was great as well (had her on my first visit to the salon last year). read more

A very quaint hair salon with a solid service team. I was on my way to a meeting and had to get a quick hair cut. The receptionist didn't have any openings, but let me know that if their 12:00 didn't show up, they'd call me immediately. Sure enough, 12:05 rolled around and I was in the door. Charlotte gave me a great hair cut. She definitely understood what I wanted out of my hair and knew that with my thin hair, it would be best to learn how to style my hair. I've never not used a hair dryer. My hair is generally flat. She helped me understand how I could use pomade to still accentuate and achieve volume. Nonetheless, a great hair cut. Overall, D'Ambrosio had a great vibe and atmosphere to it. I'd recommend giving it a shot! read more

Hector is always awesome!!!! Listens to what I am wanting. Sweetest guy!!!! Finally found my stylist for sure

Really uneven hair cut and not what I requested. Just had to follow existing style so not a complicated cut. Won't return.

I came here in October and got a full color/cut before I had my baby. Loved the stylist and paid around $270 with tip. I've had to reschedule three times now for my color touch up. I came in for my appointment today and the receptionist apparently put me down for gray coverage retouch. (I'm 28, no grays and they pulled up my information with my last appt so they knew what color they were retouching etc.) the owner I'm assuming stated that his receptionist got it wrong and he didn't have time for my color only a cut since he had other clients behind me. I'd understand if I had been running late or made the appt online and scheduled wrong but this was their fault? I was so excited to have a day to myself after having a baby. So unprofessional and I'll be taking my business to someone who can accommodate for their mistakes. read more

I travel 3 hours and half to get my hair done. I have been doing this for years. It is worth it, my hair looks amazing every single time.

Amanda is the absolute best!!! She made me super blonde without frying my hair off!! It looks amazing, no one has been able to do this that I've gone to. She did an incredible job and is the sweetest person. read more

Nice staff, went twice for brow waxing and both times my brows came out uneven - be sure to triple check before leaving.

This hair salon is GREAT for getting a whole new hair-do and amazing at getting what you want perfectly. I showed my stylist a picture of what I wanted my hair to be, and she did it perfectly! I couldn't be happier with my hair. read more

I love my new cut and color. Cannot stop raving about it and the look fits me so well. Thank you again Katrina for this wonderful, new look. read more

Best cut and color I've ever had! Marcus did beautiful high and low lights. Brand new salon in a great location, chic atmosphere. They are one of the only places with Bumble and Bumble products in town. read more

I have never before asked for a refund from a salon before until my cut with Chris. He was a very nice guy, and maybe can give great cuts to other people, but my cut was awful and I didn't feel my input was taken seriously or that much attention or care was given to my style. The man tried to send me off with my hair still wet and I had to ask him to take the time to refine the cut after asking him to take the time to actually dry my hair. Even so, very little refining was actually done. I almost cried in the seat, and no mind was taken that I was clearly unhappy with my cut. Clue, folks- if your client doesn't smile, but rather frowns about the result of your styling, DO NOT send him or her away! Fix it. The lesson I learned? Friendliness is not substitute for skill. This is NOT a salon for curly hair. Look for a Deva certified stylist. There are a few in Albuquerque. And they don't charge as much as this salon. read more

I've never been more happy with my hair!! Beautiful design inside, friendly staff and wonderful hair service!! I've been to many salons looking for a stylist and I found the one! Thank you so much and I will not go anywhere else! read more

I had a great cut and color with Chris. I am so happy to have finally found a stylist that "gets me." I will be going back to him for as long as I live in Abq. He is really talented, professional and also...just a nice person to chat with. His prices are really fair too. He quoted me upfront so there were no surprises but for the quality (he could charge a lot more.) I totally recommend him! Side note: The salon itself is really cute. The design is modern and thoughtful. I could really relax while I was in there. read more

D'Ambrosio Designs is an excellent cutting edge salon with a strong artistic flair. I have had my hair cut and styled by Marcus, the salon owner, for over five years and am so thrilled he has finally opened his own salon. The ambiance of the new salon is modern and upscale. read more

A fantastic, new hair salon in town that's worth checking out! The staff is very personable, professional, and knows what they're doing. The decor is fun and the service is great. The price is reasonable for the quality of what you're getting. Give D'Ambrosio Designs a try! read more

I have lost count of how many hairdressers/salons I have been since moving to Albuquerque 4 yrs ago. For the FIRST time I didn't fix/trimmed or change the style as soon as I got in the car or home. Finally have a Pixie Cut I can style easily, and in a couple different ways. Thank you. I returned with my teenager daughter, a couple of days later. D'Ambrosio listen to both of us ; her wishes ( blue hair) , my concerns ( damage,$$?) , very patiently. In the end, My daughter absolutely loves her hair! We found my new Stylist! read more

D'Ambrosio Designs Hair Studio - New hair color and style, by D'Ambrosio - Hair Salons Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

After looking for a place to cut my hair for months now in Albuquerque (moved here about 6 months ago), I think I finalllllly found the place and stylist who can give me what I want! The place is really nice and clean and the people are all very friendly. My appointment was set up with Amber. She says she's been there for a few years but has been doing hair longer. She was nice and very attentive in what I was asking for. I'm very picky when it comes to my hair and she listened every time when I wanted something just little bit different. She was very patient and I could tell she wanted to make sure I left with what I wanted. I left with what I was hoping for and and will definitely come back! read more

Are you looking for a stylist who will actually listen to you and give you what you want? Then you should go see Yvonne here!

All of the stylists seemed friendly and the atmosphere was professional but relaxed. Highly recommended! read more

See all

I had a color appointment with Amanda yesterday- I'm from out of town, so my first time. I wanted partial highlights/balayage framing my face, and a toner to get out the warmth that happens with my already highlighted blonde hair. Gonna make this as short as possible- I emphasized that I wanted that warmth out- I'm a natural cool/ash blonde. Amanda seemed to understand everything. Well, I ended up with orange roots, and some orange streaks in the back. My blow dry was done with me not facing the mirror, so couldn't see my hair as it was being dried. I turned a couple times to try and look. Amanda apologized- something about the chair being broken. Odd, but okay. So the main thing I saw were the highlights she did in front, which looked pretty good. But I didn't realize all the orange until closer inspection when I got home. Here's the thing, the glaringly obvious thing- she knew! She could see all of that as she was drying my hair. And not a peep. Not one word about it. I sent them an email early yesterday afternoon about this, (had a 9am appointment) and guess what? No reply at all. No apology. No offering to have me back to fix it. Nothing. I wasted over 100 bucks, and did leave her a tip. So, now I have to find a colorist to fix this. And that means more money. At this point, they should issue me a refund. Horrible. read more

I went in for a dramatic V-cut and came out with a sloppy and uneven chopped up look. Without asking, the stylist loaded my hair with product and curled it after the cut, probably because she realized how uneven it came out and tried to hide it. It was extremely disappointing and even more disappointing that other staff saw and complimented what she was doing throughout. I had to spend another $50 at a different salon to fix it and won't be going back again. read more

This salon is very far out of my price range, but my fiancé gave me a gift card for My birthday for a color and cut. I ended up going with highlights, lowlights and a cut so on top of my $100 gift card I had to dish out and extra $85 unexpectedly. This was my first time ever getting highlights, so seeing and understanding the process of highlights makes perfect sense of why it cost so much more than getting my hair colored. Angelica was very attentive to my requests with color, length and style. She was easy to chat with and I truly enjoyed her company. She took the time to wash out my red lowlights before uncovering the highlight foils so that the colors wouldn't bleed. She did a fantastic job cutting my hair and styling it. She used a significant amount of product in my hair, but my hair looked, felt and smelled wonderful by the end. My only complaint would be that the process was truly time consuming. About 15 people had gotten cuts and dyes by the time my hair was finished. Towards the end I was sore from sitting for 4 hours. If you want to have your hair done by and artist that pays attention to detail and truly enjoys her craft, ask for Angelica. She will not disappoint. read more
