absolutely amazing, the studio was clean and quaint. Daryle is so talented and caring when dealing with my hair, he has made a new client. a gem in the stuy. thank you so much. read more

Just. The. Best. I called last minute on NYE, yes, New Years Eve in NYC, to see if I could get in for a trim. Walked in unsure of what would happen and where I was going. Walked into a gloriously warm salon and the hairdresser of my dreams. I got a wash, condition, blow, cut and flat iron and was out in less than 2 hours, most of that time is because my sister and I got so deep into conversation with Daryle that there were long pauses for us to clutch out pearls and drop to our knees and catch our breaths! Daryle is a true professional who knows his craft well. He is warm and personable and knows how to listen to his clients needs. I currently live in miami and will now purposely route my business trips through NYC just so he can take care of my tresses. read more

Daryle Bennett Hairstylist - Hair Stylists Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Reviewing my old review.... I never got an answer... almost as if the owner only cares about money... I can't back a company that refuses to answer basic questions about prices. I'm deaf and wanted to try this place out, I messaged the owner for prices related to trims/wash/dry/style.... i was ignored....I don't get services done without knowing how much it's going to cost. read more

This man has done more for me than he'll know. I've been covering up my natural hair with wigs and weaves for the better part of 8 years. I've never been confident in my own skin and it's been tearing me apart. I've been growing out my natural hair for about 6 months without any sort of treatments (no relaxers, no heat). On a whim, I decided to go to Daryle solely based off of his yelp reviews, and I was so insanely pleased with my experience. I got a hair cut with shampoo and conditioning. His assistant did the washing and blow drying. She really took her time with me and payed close attention to my needs. I haven't been to a salon in years and I don't apply heat to my hair, so the blow out was a little much for me. I didn't have to say a word, she sensed I was uncomfortable so she simply turned down the heat and worked a little more slowly. I really appreciated that! Then came Daryle. I don't know what kind of magical flat iron he has, but he transformed my naturally nappy hair into something that was so sleek and edgy (four days later and my hair is still perfectly straight). The best part is that it still feels so healthy! Normally when I apply a ton of heat, my hair gets really stringy and gross. When Daryle went in, my hair came out soft, fluffy and totally alive. Words don't do it justice. Pictures don't do it justice. Everything was insanely perfect. Best $150 I've spent in a while. Also, the man's personality is completely fabulous. He has great stories about his travels and knows how to hold up a meaningful conversation. It's really obvious he's passionate about his art. I really think I've found my hair guy for life! No more wigs for me :) read more

Daryle is a God send! I was nervous about blowing out my hair because it's been three years. Daryle made me feel at ease from the minute I sat down. I've never relaxed my hair and it is thick and curly. Daryle washed/conditioned/blow dried and flat ironed my hair. It was a pain-less experience! (Which is great because I am tender headed). He was informative and personable. I absolutely love my hair. My hair is shiny/bouncy/ and my length is there despite the trim I received. Do yourself and your hair a favor and book Daryle for your next hair appt!!!! He is worth every penny. :) read more

Daryle Bennett Hairstylist - Wash/Blowout/Flatiron - Hair Stylists Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I am such a fan of Daryle! A pure professional that has not lost passion about his craft. I always leave happier than when I came in and he's such a pleasure! I have to be honest, I initially chose him because he is close to my office...I didn't expect to be wow'd by any means. I keep going back because he is talented and his attention to detail and to ensure that you are happy with his work is what keeps me going back. For the location of his salon I thought he'd be much more expensive...he's reasonably priced and well worth every penny. read more

Found Daryle through a friend after a few fits and starts with my former stylist. She left one salon for another, and I had challenges with her matching my color properly from visit to visit. After coming away with two tone hair, I decided to try someone else. Enter Mr. Bennett! I am always leery of allowing just anyone to put their hands in my hair and I truly enjoy what Daryle had been able to do for my tresses. He is a kind soul, and a delight to chat with. Do your hair a favor, go see Daryle! BTW, i have loc's brightened to perfection, by Sir Daryle! read more

Daryle is a sweetheart that really respects his customers. He has a loyal customer following because he gives everyone personal attention and remembers the little things about you. He is on-time, not terribly expensive, and really loves his work. He also gives you real personal attention when it's your appointment, too. I found Daryle when I decided to transition from a relaxer to a natural style. It's been over a year now and I can't imagine my hair being as soft, easy and wonderful without his touch. Highly recommend! read more

I've been to Daryle twice so far and both times have been a great experience! I've gotten a shampoo, deep conditioner, reconstructive treatment, and a blowout. He and his assistant really take their time with you, and even when business gets hectic it never feels like they're rushing you around. I'd say always make an appointment though if you can! He's a real nice guy who can hold a nice conversation with you and give you great tips for your hair without being pushy or self-righteous (as some stylists can be!). He also listens to what you want. It's a little on the pricey side (aren't most places in Manhattan?) but both times I've walked out of the salon I feel like it was worth every penny. Lemme get my money up and I'll definitely go back! read more

So happy I found Daryle! I've been going to Daryle for a couple months now and he has truly improved the health of my hair. It's softer, it's longer, and it's bouncier!!! I always leave the salon very satisfied! All of my friends have commented on how amazing my hair looks and feels now! If your hair is feeling weak and brittle, do yourself a favor and visit Daryle! He will get you together! :) read more

Daryle is great! I found him on this site, and decided to call and set up an appointment right away. Got an appointment for the weekend (Woohoo! A lot of other places that I called were booked weeks in advance) I appreciated the quick turnaround. Got to the salon and was directed to Daryle who immediately made me feel right at home! Daryle is extremely personable, kind and funny. He'll make your ego soar with all the compliments he throws out. :) He miraculously turned my dead, choppy hair into healthy curls, which I have been getting COUNTLESS compliments on! He recommended some great hair products to keep my new hairdo going even after I left the salon, and they were just right! THANKS DARYLE! read more

Came to NY for a friends bday and desperately needed my hair done. I called Daryle the day before I arrived and asked for a Friday appt. To my surprise he took me. Overall the experience was not bad. He was nice and his assistant was very caring. During the washing process, the assistant was gentle and took her time to detangle my hair. I enjoy her service. I had to wait about 3 hours to finally get to Daryle's chair (but I guess it's understandable because my appt was last minute). Daryle did an OK job straighten my hair. He used oil while flat ironing the hair, which left it a little stiff. But I appreciated the oil because I knew he wasn't frying the hell out of my hair. He didn't style it much, which left me a tad disappointed. The flatiron lasted about a week. I got a wash, deep condition, and flat iron. That came to $100. I thought that was overpriced for what I received. Would I go back....possibly. (btw, I have 4C hair all natural) read more

Makes you feel at home and a great hairdresser. I get appointments very easily. He always starts on time and I don't have to wait for him. read more

It was my first time getting my hair washed and a blowout by Daryle Bennett and it was worth it... He was very friendly and gentle with my hair when washing and blow drying. I liked the fact that I did not have to wait a long time to get my hair styled. My time is precious and do not want to be in a hair salon for more than an hour to get my hair styled. The salon was clean and modern and staff were friendly. It was easy to get to by train 4 or 5 to Grand Central stop... I guess what more can I tell you...I left the salon looking fabulous and happy. I really had a great experience and the price was reasonable .... only wish I could find a stylist like him in Jersey City NJ read more

He saved me from myself. After moving to SoCal and realizing my hair care needs would be left to my own devices after a year of searching for someone decent and failing. While visiting for a family party I found Daryle on Yelp and not only will he be my go to, I recommend him place to anyone who's hair needs a healing. I rock a curly fro usually and he gave me what I asked, a cute press and cut to give me shape and maintain health. Plus who doesn't love being able to book online! read more

Daryle is a true professional, a wonderful communicator and loves what he does. I am so happy that I found him on Yelp. The staff in the reception area were pleasant and welcoming. Everyone greeted me. All of the stylist (whom I witnessed) appeared happy to be there and no one seemed to have a chip on their shoulder, which you sometimes encounter is "black" salons. Daryle listened to my hair issues, asked appropriate questions to clarify my description of what I liked and didn't like and he even probed a little into my personal life (like what I do for a living). I think that talking to your client (especially a new one) is so important so that the stylist can get an idea of what your lifestyle is like and they can then anticipate how to suggest the best style for you. I am thankful that I found Daryle. I will be visiting him again and again. Thank you for saving my sanity and making me look read more

I was really excited to get an appointment with Daryle after reading all of the positive reviews here on Yelp. I called and spoke directly with him after my regular salon canceled on me last minute. I confirmed that I wanted an Affirm relaxer and a trim and was quoted $120. I bought the Yelp deal - $115 for $150 of services because I also wanted to get a deep conditioner. My initial experience at the salon was pretty good. Nice reception area, his assistant brought me a robe and some water. Daryle was on-time and not double or triple booked. He was also very personable and easy to talk to. So far, so good. I got relaxed with a 10 minute condition under the dryer after. Daryle then blew my hair out, trimmed it and flat ironed it. Ok, great. The problems started when I went to pay. Daryle told me that it was $80 additional for a cut. I said I didn't ask for a cut, I asked for a trim. He then had the nerve to tell me that any time he picked up his scissors, it was $80 regardless of if it was a cut or a trim. Now, I came in with a pretty blunt cut and bangs. I left with the same thing. No layers, nothing exciting. He basically just took off an inch all the way around. I paid the difference after letting him know that it was outrageous because there is no sense making a scene in a beauty salon. I left very disappointed, especially since I had already committed to coming back in a few weeks for $200 highlights. He should have apologized for the misunderstanding and at least offered to split the difference. But whatever, it is just called no tip. I woke up this morning and checked my hair out in the sunlight. I have A TON of split ends which I mentioned time and time again during our appointment. I told him I was very concerned that I kept finding 1/2" bits of hair with tree-like split ends on them. He assured me my hair was super healthy and he didn't notice anything like that. I have the little white bulbs at the ends of my hair where there was new breakage that he didn't cut off. So I didn't even end up with a proper trim after all of that. I had to spend about an hour doing a thorough search and destroy this morning. UPDATE: The right side of my hair is about 1.5" shorter than the left!!! He should have paid me $80 for this butcher job. All in all, the relaxer is fine. Nothing earth shattering. Was what I got worth $120? Maybe. Worth $200? Definitely not. Either way, I certainly won't be going back to Daryle. He lost me as a repeat customer when he price gouged me. read more

After having the WORST experiences in salons, I swore I would NEVER go back; but I needed a cut for the summer badly and decided to give it the old college try one more time. I went to Daryle after googling tons of black salons in the NY area. I definitely took a chance since there were no reviews online, but he didn't disappoint and has renewed my faith in the salon experience. I didn't want the $15 wash and set place, but I also didn't want to go to some overrated salon and pay $200 for a relaxer. Daryle was exactly what I was looking for and the man can cut some hair! His salon is top notch--friendly staff, very down to earth, convenient location, clean and beautiful space, FAST and efficient. The salon has a nice chill vibe as well (Jill Scott, Kelly Price etc playing in the background). My appointment was at 5:30, Daryle took me back at 5:25, asked what style I was looking for, listened to my hair-story, and quickly got to work. I felt right at home as if I had been a client for years. He didn't leave me under the dryer and I never felt neglected. If you need a stylist Daryle and his team are the best. Check out his specials on Life Booker as well. You will not be disappointed! read more

I loved every single second of my experience with Daryle! He's very warm and welcoming, makes you feel comfortable and he even offered me some tequila! I loved the customer service and I would highly recommend read more

He is the best! Very efficient, very professional, and knows the meaning of time. Especially for people like us who stay all the way in Scandinavia and are always pressed for time each time we are in New York. read more

I saw Daryle just a few weeks ago, overall it was a great experience. My appointment started promptly, and I was in and out within a reasonable period of time. He knew how to handle my hair, and I would regard him as a natural hair expert. The service was a little pricey compared to some places I had been in the past, considering that I didn't need a haircut. However, my hair felt great, and I really appreciated Daryle's friendly demeanor. I will definitely return. Thanks, Daryle! read more

After having my hair DESTROYED by heat damage after one visit to a Dominican salon, Daryle got me together. I came in with tears in my eyes and left feeling amazing. The service is excellent and he is a hair genius. A little pricey but the amazing cut I got was well worth it. read more

Found Daryle on Yelp after having a difficult time finding a reliable salon in the city with a flexible schedule. I called on Wednesday and was able to make an appointment for that Saturday...which is pretty unheard of. Once I got to the salon, there was zero wait. Again, pretty unheard of. And they had someone on staff offering pizza slices to patrons because it was around lunch time. Don't know if that's a regular thing, but it was a pretty solid representation of how friendly everyone is here. Daryle himself was friendly, funny, knowledgable, and started our appointment by really listening to my hair history (read: all the dumb damage I'd done to it thus far) as well as what I wanted out of this appointment. I really hadn't been taking care of it and it was a dry, frizzy, partially-relaxed mess. I'm half black, half English so my hair leaves a lot of stylists frustrated and confused. Daryle promised he'd make sure I left the salon feeling like a new woman. He checked in with me throughout the appointment to make sure I knew what was going on and that we were both on the same page in terms of how he was cutting/styling. Most hair stylists end up chopping inches off when you've got split ends, but Daryle actually listened to my request that I was trying to keep it a similar length. We found a good length for bangs and he was able to get my hair looking incredible without an onslaught of greasy hairsprays. So happy with how it came out. It's soft, straight, shiny and I look a lot less like Don King. I've gotten relaxer/haircuts that were less expensive, but for how I felt leaving the appointment it was totally worth the cost. Thanks Daryle! read more

Absolutely amazing job! I was able to call for a same-day appointment mid-day on a Friday. The shop is on the 2nd floor and has a lot of chairs/stylists working there. All the reviews are accurate. I came in for a wash/blow dry/flat iron job and was in and out in less than 1.5 hours. Daryle was amazing from start to finish and didn't have any other clients so I had his full attention and he has some amazing travel stories that keep you entertained the whole time. I'm getting used to NYC prices so $70 was a bit high for me but worth it for how quick and easy it was to schedule an appointment. I'll definitely be coming back when I'm in the area. read more

I have been going to Daryle for a while now. He is very attentive and considerate of my needs. My hair is doing well.

My experience with Daryle was really great.... I moved in united states from france and I was desperate with my hair. Sieriously, after few bad trials in salons, I prayed The Lord to find a good hairstylist not only about the style but also about a professional who take care of my transitioning and damaged hair. I'm writing this post 8 days after beeing at Daryle Chair and my hair are straight, soft, manageable and I love it. The only minus could be the price but looking at the beautifull place and the service, it worth it... Valerie read more

After reading other reviews, I called Daryle Bennett and got a same day appointment for a haircut. My hair is thin on top and graying. After a brief consultation, he gave me a sharp short haircut that is receiving rave reviews from my family and friends. They say I look youthful and sophisticated. My cut is low maintenance and he recommended products to keep it up. Thank you, Daryle! read more

Made an appointment for a wash and blow out a few hours before a bridal shower. Was worried I would be double booked or that I'd have an appt that lasted all day. Was so pleased with quality of blow out and experience- was seated right away and the entire appt was less time than I expected. Daryle was very nice easy to talk to and I was happy with my hairstyle. Would recommend his styling and will definitely make another appointment! read more

Daryle is a stylist within the Hair by Joseph salon, and I just saw him yesterday in order to fix the highlights that I received at another salon that did not process long enough, thus didn't really show up. First and foremost Daryle was very friendly and welcoming, even when I was a smidgen late (coming from work), and had made a very last minute appt through Lifebooker. He gave a great consult, and, unlike the other salon I went to, there was no rush and my color was allowed to really process. He, along with his assistant, did a great job with my hair, and most importantly I left with much more noticeable highlights and a very nice color. Timewise, there were no long waits or anything during my appointment, though this was a Wednesday evening. read more

Went to Darryl to get my natural hair cut after a 6 year hiatus from beauty salons. It was one of my best decisions Darryl cutting my hair was truly a lovely experience. I am definitely going to be a repeat customer. read more

Scheduled a hair appointment for a birthday treat and I am so happy with the experience! Daryle is professional and gave me the style that I desired. I have natural hair and wanted to get it straightened without having a lot of heat applied to it. He did exactly that. He achieved the style I desired with little heat and little time. I am pleased with my results. read more

Now I am shamefully writing this review some months after Daryle cut my hair, but I must give credit where due. He is fantastic! I am a student from California so moving to New York City meant finding a new hair salon. Having made trips to Dominican salons I had to search for someone that would show a little more love to my hair, especially when I decided on a pixie cut. In comes Daryle. I found him on Yelp and the reviews do not lie. He was so kind and the service was altogether the best salon experience I've ever had. I consistently get compliments on my haircut and it is definitely because of him. read more

He is really great. I got a perm from him. I was just getting a touch up not a full virgin perm. I felt like my hair was actually being treated with care. My hair feels and looks great. He was willing to answer my questions and give advice about how to take care of my hair even if I don't go to him the next time around. I really appreciated that. I would definitely would go to him again if I could afford it. He is more on the expensive side for me, but he really does seem worth it. Also there is a $10 off for check-ins. You know I used it. Plus the salon area is beautiful and elegant. There were other stylist there who seem amazing as well. I felt sophisticated going there. It was clean and well organized. I love to be back in that atmosphere again. I felt like I stepped into a salon full of friends and family. A lot of kissing on the checks going on. If you thinking of going, I say try him at least once and treat yourself. read more
