Effie is absolutely incredible!! From the moment I scheduled my appointment all the way to the end of my appointment I was treated with utmost respect and care. The receptionist, Suela was very accommodating in working with my busy schedule and was able to book me. I came in for a cut, color and blowout. I have wavy short hair so it's not very easy to achieve the pixie cut I want. Effie took his time to examine my hair. Gave me a great color, cut and blowout. His assistant Tony, was awesome as well. They offer coffee/water and wait on you hand and foot. It was a fabulous experience. I can't wait till my next appointment. Thank you Effie, Suela and Tony! read more

Had a very unwelcoming experience here. I've been coming here every 3-4 months to die my hair with semi permanent color. Never had any problems. Guy who applied it in the past time I was there (several months ago different guy -- I think the owner) raved about how semi permanent is better than permanent and how the salon only has semi permanent die. Went today and found out the die was permanent but only when the new hairdresser applied it. He asked if I wanted to wash out my hair and I asked if it would be possible to do that. He proceeded to take me to the back to wash my hair out. When I was there I asked if there was semi permanent color and when he said no I asked if I could just do the haircut instead. The Guy said you know what he had a lot of patients (place was empty and I booked a haircut and hair die service) and perhaps I should to go back to my child. Found it extremely rude. Felt like I got kicked out of the salon. I paid for the permanent die he used and ran out of place. I won't come again. It wasn't a pleasant experience. Glad there are many other places I can go to in the area. read more

Rude and did a terrible job. Do not go here. There are hundreds of other places in the area that do a better job and treat their customers with more respect. read more

Diamond here come in for a great balayage and color . Ask for me special pricing with me Diamond

I was referred to Effie's Hair studio by a friend who has been going to her hair colored there for the past 5 years. Let me just say, that I was NOT disappointed at all. Effie is really nice and honest. He wasn't pushy about buying the conditioner he recommended me, told me which colors last longer, and gave me tips on how to maintain my color. I will be coming back to re-dye my hair. I recommend that you make an appointment though as he tends to get super busy. read more

Effie is the only hair stylist in NYC allowed to touch my hair! I lived in the city for 6+years and time and time again he made my hair look amazing! There were a few times when I decided to let someone else touch my color--there I was back in Effie's chair for him to fix it! I now write this review as I live in Florida and had to text Effie after my sister who just moved to New York called me freaking out after a botched hair job. I needed his help and he came to the rescue again! His loyalty to his clients cannot be matched! Congrats on your new salon Effie! I am beyond proud! Picts of his color and cut included from when I was in NYC. read more

Effie's Hair Studio - Not Effie's blow out (his are better) but shows off his haircut!! His long layers are to die for! - Hair Salons Near Me - New York, New York

See all

The first time I booked in Sept 2020 with Effie (online), he was not even there. It was okay because the man who cut my hair took his time to get to know my hair and my want. The second time, in Feb 2021, I met Effie. He had the nerve to comment on my dye job being too bright. Never looked at my hair dry, which is important. I have naturally curly hair on the top and naturally straight hair on the bottom. To cut it correctly, a dry cut is needed. He did not listen. Today- June 2021, I mistakenly went back because I needed a cut and my hairdresser is out of town. Much to my dismay, when I walked in- no greeting. When he did greet me - he thought I was there for a blowout only. He did not know who I was or why I was there despite my having booked an apt via phone (which is antiquated in 2021). He suggested I have layers all over. SEE ABOVE as cutting layers will make me look like I have a mullet. After I was washed- he proceeds to comb my hair, then look at his phone, then talks to staff and opens the basement for towels, then back to the phone, then the family comes in.....on and on and on. Effie, you only needed to spend 15 minutes taking the time to look at MY SPECIFIC TEXTURES while my hair was dry- and understand that layers DO NOT WORK and undercutting does. You showed me my hair after you blew it out, which is not an indication of what it will look like until it is washed and curly. Nevertheless, the weather (as it often does) offered me a hint. My curls prevailed and indeed- even with partially wavy hair from the blowout, you did exactly what I asked you not to do. I LOOK LIKE I HAVE A MULLET in the back. The top of the hair is shortened and curly and the bottom is stick-straight and resulting in a tail. I will never go back. Bottom line- he multitasks, does not take the time with his clients, and does not listen (at least he did not for me). I am pissed off - it has only been a few hours and my hair looks like hell. I am going to have to get the ends cut 3 inches to look normal. ARGH read more

Stopped in for emergency hair color treatment by pure chance, and I definitely had a great experience. Jasmine worked quickly and efficiently to do what I needed (in the short time I had), and she took the time to make excellent recommendations for what I could do to solve my existing color problems. The entire staff was very professional and welcoming. I saw several customers come in and they looked great when they finished. Prices were reasonable for the area. I will be back, and I definitely recommend giving them a try. read more

Horrible salon! No one ever answers the phone and when they do, they are incredibly rude! Myself, and my sister's were going to see Effie when we would come in from L.I, never again! Don't waste your time going there, the stylists and the front desk are rude. read more

Such a wonderful place full of fun people who are great with hair. I'm new to New York and I have had trouble finding a place that can do my color the way I want. The owner took great care of me and I will definitely be back! It was warm, welcoming, and I'd trust them with any styling needs (and I change my mind often so I need someone who will do the job right). Easy to communicate with and find an appointment. Thanks for the wonderful cut and fixing the horrible highlights I came in with! read more

I never leave Yelp reviews but had to for Effie and his team! I recently moved to New York from Boston and had been seeing the same stylist for years, so I was/am very particular about my hair. The studio was recommended to me through a friend, and I booked a Brazilian blowout. They're one of the only salons that does this, so i was excited but nervous it wouldn't be the treatment I was used to. I was right...it was better!!! Effie and his team did an amazing Brazilian blowout and took the best care of me - Effie and Swella did my 3 hour treatment together, and at one point I even fell asleep I was so relaxed. My hair looks and feels incredible and I couldn't be happier!!! The salon is clean, they are all super friendly and funny, and they really know what they're doing. Will go here for all future Brazilian blowouts, cuts, and colors. Highly recommend. read more

Had a great haircut and blowout with Effie! He listened to me and made suggestions on what would work best for my hair. The salon was super clean and professional and I thought it was much better than Mure where I have been a few times prior. I will be back! read more

This place is excellent! Fixed a terrible balayage here and cut/blow dry is great and done really efficiently.

Excellent salon with personal service! I came here for a trim with Effie and with his consultation, decided to go for the ProAddiction hair smoothing treatment. Effie and his staff were warm, professional and meticulous over the 3+ hour treatment! I had a lot of questions about the procedure and Effie continued checking in with me and making sure I was OK. The treatment itself is incredible. I did not realize I could have hair texture that was not frizzy once Ieft the salon- even with just air-drying! I will definitely be returning- a wonderful environment and my hair has never looked better. read more
