My experience at this salon was beyond horrible. I walked into this very busy salon for a 1pm appointment. Since I was new to this salon, I was given to whichever stylist was available. Anastasia was my hairdresser, although I wouldn't have known that had I not looked at the business card at her station because she never formally introduced herself to me. I told her that I wanted color, a trim and blow out. She never however asked me my color history which bothered me, but and once I picked a color she started working. I noticed that she was very sloppy, having gotten a glob of dye under my chin, which I had to ask her to remove before any stain set in. She never put any cloth or Vaseline on my hairline to prevent staining, and after finishing just walked away saying she would be back in 20 minutes. Nobody ever offered me a magazine or water, very unprofessional. While waiting, a hair dryer being used by a stylist at the station next to me randomly exploded! Meaning they don't clean the hair and dust out of they're tools, disgusting. I was brought to the sink for the rinse which was actually painful. The girl was scrubbing my hairline to within an inch of its life, trying mostly unsuccessfully to remove the deep brownish/red staining all along my hairline. I went back to Anastasia for the cut and blow out, which was less than stellar. She zipped through the cut, missing a few sections and left some pieces underneath slightly frizzy and not completely blown out. After paying $150 in total I left. I realized after getting home and looking in the mirror that a huge area on the right side of my face had been deeply stained and left that way. I've colored my own hair at home several times never leaving that much staining; and I'm not a "professional". I scrubbed with soap and warm water, baby oil and even toothpaste (which was a solution I found online) and nail polish remover. After about 30 min I knew this was bad, and marched back to the salon demanding to speak to an owner or manager. I was approached my a snotty blond who proceeded to tell me she "didn't see any dye, that what I was looking at was my sideburns". So on top of making me seem like a crazy person who sees things, I was also made to feel embarrassed about sideburns that I don't have. Then out of nowhere Anastasia grabs my upper left arm, turns me around and asks me what my problem was. She played dumb too which didn't surprise me, but the grabbing of my arm was crossing the line. After throwing around a few f bombs, and letting EVERYONE in that salon know that they botched the job, I was asked to leave. I gave the snotty blond the finger and left in a blaze of glory... I've been to upscale Manhattan salons before and have always been satisfied with the results, but being on a tighter budget these days I thought I would try a neighborhood joint. Huge mistake. I'll skimp on other areas from now on, because my hair is worth the extra money. If you live in Astoria, and are thinking of trying this place out, GO THERE ARE YOUR OWN RISK!!! read more

LOVE this place. Sylvia is the best and I won't let anyone else cut my hair. I have curly hair and I am very afraid to cut it. She convinced me I had to take the dead ends off and warned me it would be a little short--a big NO-NO for me. Well, I trusted her and I am so glad I did! It was a little short but she knew how to cut it and it looks amazing and healthy AND it is actually growing back nicely! read more

On a whim I walked into this salon to have my hair dyed for the first time in my life, I'm 26 years old....There was a little bit of a wait but I cannot complain since I was a walk-in. I described to the stylist, Orsula, what I was looking for and she showed me my options. She explained to me the different hues and what it would look like in natural light while she finished her lunch....again I was an unexpected walk in. I chose the color and she and her assistant started on my hair. After I was covered in dye they asked me to go sit on the couch in the little waiting area for about 20 minutes. After that the salon assistant washed my hair and asked if i was getting a blow dry....the assistant does a lot of the work. When I was done she told me to step outside so I could see the color in natural light, this I love because it really makes huge difference...I paid $100 and left. After this I spoke with my sister who dyes her hair often and she let me know I paid too much, and when I told her the color used was L'Oreal she said I could have just gone to Rite Aid and had her do it for me. When it was time to do my hair again we did just this and it turned out the same as it did at the salon!!! read more

Enveee Salon is a wonderful, full service salon with such a gracious and professional staff. I have known the owner Kathy for years and have been recently getting my hair care from Sylvia. Sylvia is an incredible hair stylist and a very talented make-up artist. This past Sunday Sylvia did an extraordinary job styling my hair and doing my make-up for my wedding. She and Kathy worked with me from a month before during my trial. Sylvia was so patient, accommodating and tried various hair style and make-up to get the perfect look. On the day of my wedding it was raining so much. Not only did my hair turn out perfect but it lasted through the rain and the entire reception. My make-up was flawless. I can't thank Envee Salon, Kathy and Sylvia for making the day perfect for me! Sylivia is a caring, warm funny and genuinely wonderful person! I highly recommend Envee salon and Sylvia. THANK YOU!!!! read more

I've finally found a stylist who I can trust. Orsola understood straight away how I wanted my hair to look. After years of going to a high end Noho salon and suffering through tons of attitude (and tons of $$$), I was tired of feeling that my hair was not my own but someone else's vision. Orsola got it right the first time and it's always a pleasure to sit at her station. She is very down to earth and extremely creative. I am so happy with my hair now--from color to cut! Brava Orsola, I am so very glad my friend recommended you!! read more

I love this salon it is my go to in Astoria! Sylvia is amazing at cut & color! She is always helps to make me look fabulous. Shes also so sweet it's a joy every time I go! This salon is so loyal and great to their customers I've been going over a year now & I'm extremely pleased! read more

John McGarry - the best in the business. I have been seeing him for 8 years now. Here's why. 1. He's reasonably priced. You won't spend a fortune, but you'll look like you did. 2. He's hysterical. Sitting in his chair is an experience! 3. His work speaks for itself. While I can't speak for women directly, I can say that the women's cut and color jobs look amazing. As a man, I CAN say that I have such an amazing haircut that I feel so good as I present myself to the world. I told John that I wanted to grow my hair out for a longer, funkier, edgy look. John knew exactly how long it would take to grow, and the interim cuts I would need to achieve the look I wanted. HERE IS THE ULTIMATE REASON WHY YOU SHOULD SEE JOHN: He loves what he does. He understands that when you look good, you feel good. A great hair style goes beyond just getting it cut out of necessity. It becomes personal. John is passionate about learning the latest styles and techniques and gets genuinely excited when you love your hair as much as he loves doing it. He is an asset to Envee Salon. read more

I got my hair done last night and feel compelled to publicly express my love for Envee on the internet. I've gone to a few other hairdressers there (John was great, another stylist was meh so I won't mention her by name) but Dina just gets me. Every time she does my hair (which has been about every 3 months for the past year and a half), It is flawless. Seriously. She's managed to mix up the exact color that matches my natural shade. She does a killer blowout that has lasted days. My cut is always on point and has become my signature look. One time she joked about retiring and I kinda freaked out. I vaguely remember seeing a review here that talked about the staff being rude to random passersbys or something...well it's a Queens salon. It's really fucking Queens, transplants, so deal with it. The staff is going to talk in Greek, their family members are going to drop in and they are going to gossip about shit that goes on in the neighborhood. That's how they roll and they should never ever change. read more

Have gone there quite a few times over the past 2 years for deluxe blowouts, styling, and makeup before events. Everytime I was greeted with friendliness, professionalism and warmth. They greet me by name, are immediately attentive and even during their busiest Sat hours have taken me right at my appt time. Each time I have left extremely happy with my look and will continue to go back in the future. read more

Another flawless haircut, blow-out, and highlights done by Orsola at Envee Salon!!! I don't trust anyone else with my hair but Orsola. She knows exactly what to do with my hair and gets exactly what I come in asking for. She's the best!!! read more

My first experience with a salon in Queens and it might be my last. I went in to get a partial highlight and cut. I have had my hair highlighted for over 20 years and what I got was a half ass partial with little to no side highlights. So my hair looks just "fine" down - even though some of the highlights are on the orange side. i didn't realize until I got home that putting my hair back in a pony tail was a no-no. The very few highlights that made it there (was that a mistake or just half ass work?) look to have an inch of regrowth already. Again, very orange looking. My hair for the first time EVER after getting it done looks dry and damaged. I think the stylist forgot that she had to work with what had been done to my hair already. The initial intro the salon included no one introducing themselves to me and apparently the consult is dead. I was told my hair was too blonde. Before I could even discuss what options we had to toning it down, she started slapping on the 12 foils I ended up with for a "partial". Hi- try to upsell me if you care at all? i would have paid for lowlights as well or HI- have you heard of TONER? As it is, I paid $100 (a 1/3 of what i'm used to spending) for a job that will barely get me through christmas (sans pony tail). I'll be spending another $300 to get this mess fixed. The cut wasn't bad, though. Too bad the color is so distracting. And too bad for my first Queens salon. Ugh. read more

Absolutely disgusted with this salon! I had gone a month ago and ignored the terrible customer service because of a nice blow out. Went in to consult for a dye job and had my hair dyed yesterday. When I went in I was barely greeted, waited a half hour & then was not helped when hot coffee was spilled all over me. I decided to still proceed with my appointment/ wrong move. After looking at the photo I wanted the hair color I was assured that it would look how I wanted. Through out the process I kept asking if I was please getting what I wanted. I politely asked how long it would ask to only receive frustrated responses. Then was washed by someone who felt like was punching my head. Only! For her to walk away no response. After I expressed concerns that it wasn't what I wanted when it was done I was again been made to feel like a pain, as a paying customer. After calling the next day to say I was very unhappy they barely considered a discount for not doing what I asked. I am scared to go back with concerns they will further ruin my hair. Can't have that. read more

i went to the salon and clearly asked for a jet black color which was simple, instead i got the wrong color which is black/brown, then i had to go back and fix it.. first mistake! and i had to pay again for the blow dry. secondly, when i made the appointment i clearly stated what i wanted.. but apparently my stylist (OZ) didn't have time to do everything. Telling a client that you don't have time to do their hair is not really professional. hair cut was okay... but i would not color my hair there! .. read more

Recently discovered this long standing Astoria salon. Now I'll go nowhere else but Envee. There's a resason it's been on the corner of Ditmars & Steinway for over 10 years...they know what they are doing & aren't caught up in fancy image. the salonitself isn't a large space with fancy fixtures, yet it's still hip and definitely all business. Anastasia did a fantastic job with color correcting my over blonde hair & giving it a bit of a trim & texture to spruce it up. I walked out of there looking and feeling 10 pounds lighter...it's amazing what a great cut & color will do for a woman. Anastasia took one look at my hair, asked a couple of questions and made quick work of things. A process that probably would have taken at least 2 -3 hours somewhere else took her a little over an hour. She is professional, efficient & gave me that Jennifer Aniston color - that perfect natural looking blonde on brunette...The best part was she created a color that only needs a glaze in about 6 weeks so it won't cost an arm & a leg every time it needs to be touched up. Many places just keep putting on a ton of higlights so evetually you look like an overprocessed blonde - which is NEVER pretty. I am thrilled with the result & at the end of the day, that's all any woman wants when she walks out of a salon. Well done Anastasia & Envee Salon! read more

Envee Salon has seriously been my life saver! This review is long past due. I've been coming here for almost 2 years now and I'd never go to any other salon. Before coming to Envee I had tried a few other salons in Astoria but none were up to par. I always left unhappy. Envee Salon exceeds all expectations of an amazing hair salon; from the friendly atmosphere & environment to the talented stylists you can trust to the complimentary coffee & sweets. Not to mention the amazing prices as well! All the ladies are exceptional at what they do, super sweet & always make me look my best! Maria and Kathy always do my hair and I wouldn't trust anyone else. I usually do weekly blow outs but I've also had highlights done multiple times and been very satisfied. Ask for Angela, she gives the BEST wash and scalp massage EVER!! I have very long and thick hair so I've given up doing it by myself. Envee Salon has become my weekly go to place. They've become almost like family to me. Don't know what I'd do without them!! I definitely recommend them to everyone! 5 stars no less! Love you guys!! :) read more
