Vibes are immaculate. Quality is exceptional. I found her just before my wedding in 2023 and have been going to her ever since. As an African-American woman with kinky 4C hair, it was important to me to find someone who was confident and capable of properly installing K-tips on my texture of hair. I also wanted someone who cared about the health of my hair. It was no small task - but I found her. Ester is that girl! Not only is she the best at what she does, she's fun to be around too! I look forward to my days in the salon chair with her, and I know my hair is going to come out looking amazing every single time! TLDR: Ester is bomb. 10/10. Go to her - just leave room for me so I can rebook when it's time for my :) read more

Ester did an amazing job on my hair for my wedding day! I don't trust anyone with my hair but she is beyond professional, sweet, attentive and a perfectionist who made me feel extremely comfortable. My hair was super long and unruly but she worked her magic and created a master piece, people in the city stopped us to congratulate us on our wedding and compliment the perfect Hollywood waves. Not only did she work wonders adding volume to my heavy hair, but it lasted all day through multiple humid (NYC summer) hours of travel, photographs throughout the city, the ceremony, our dinner and even lasted through a downpour of rain at the end of the evening. I highly recommend Ester! She was an absolute pleasure, and made me feel extra beautiful on my special day. I was extremely lucky to have found her read more

Hair by Ester was just what I was looking for!! My daughter found Ester's Instagram page and she specialized in the style I wanted for my wedding day. I reached out to her and we were able to converse and work out the particulars. Ester traveled to the venue the morning of which was in a different state, may I add, she had car troubles on the way and had to leave her car and still arrive to me on time! She's a professional. Very accommodating and patient. She made me feel at ease as we discussed weddings and marriage and anything and everything else that came up. Ester slayed my hair. I had an install in and she was able to work with it w/o a problem. My curls were great and lasted until the next day. read more

Now that I've found Ester, I won't go anywhere else for my hair extensions! She custom blends my bonded extensions perfectly and really cares about her clients. I get so many compliments on my hair, Most people can't even tell they're extensions even though they're 18 Inches long(that's just how good she is at blending them). The quality of her work is A+++ and it's for a reasonable price, especially in NYC. Definitely worth booking a consultation and finding out for yourself! read more

Ester is nothing short of AMAZING! I was looking for a stylist for glamour/body waves for about a week until I came across esters page. What attracted me to her was how natural but flawless her work was. She was easily accessible. Replied to my msg and my appointment was booked within an hour. She was punctual and professional but most importantly I felt like I knew her forever. I was a bit worried at first being an African American female with extensions, I wasn't sure if she would still be able to execute the style as well as she did on her social media. But she gave me EXACTLY what I asked for. My hair was done at 1pm I was out all day even went to the club that night and my hair was still intact! She's extremely skilled and trained by the best. With the many stylist out there I believe I chose the best one for the look I was going for. I would book her again in a heartbeat. read more

I've never left a review before but the horrible service i received from ester was beyond anything i have experienced. She instructed me to come in at 3 months for keratin Bond removal, so i did. When i arrived she said they were holding up and could stay in. I made an appointment to come back a few weeks later for removal. She proceeded to charge me $50 for that appointment (lasting maybe 10 minutes, a waste of my time) as a consultation that i didn't ask for. When i told her i wasn't sure when i would reinstall, depending on the health of my hair, she then charged me another $100 for removal which should have been free. Then she would later charge me another $50 consultation if i decided to reinstall at a later date. When i simply questioned all of these charges, she cancelled my appointment against my wishes, and wouldn't rebook to take out extensions she was responsible for installing. She calls her service luxury but it is the farthest thing i have ever experienced from high end. read more

I was not happy to write this review but I was asked to give an honest review from Ester. I had to cancel my own appointment because I had an emergency but wanted to keep my daughters appointment for her party. I sent pics of what my daughter wanted and I was quoted a price according to the pics. I was told to have hair semi clean for the day of appointment. I had faith that the style would be done remarkably for the price of $125. I thought it would be like a true princess. Not so it did not represent anything like the pics the bow made of my daughters own hair was not defined it looked like a ball of hair behind her head and the hair that was supposed to be curled in a beach waves was not representative of at least 10% of the pic. I know hair types affect the outcome of the style but my daughters hair is not hard to style. I was very disappointed with the end result. I felt ripped off. She had her appointment at 8:30 finished at 10am and it dropped by 1pm. This was suppose to last til at least 5pm with hairspray. I'm sorry but I didn't see why I paid 125 for a hairdo that I could of had done myself if I had the time. The hairdo was worth about $50 and that's generous. No wash no blowdry, nothing but curling and tie hair into a bow that didn't look like a bow. Too much hair was used to create the bow that it didn't look like it was a bow. I'm sad and very disappointed. Too expensive for this hairdo on a tween. Not fair!! I understand she has a following with a certain community and many other cultures but it is not nice to overcharge for a child hairstyle that didn't entail too dramatic updo. Ester I was very disappointed. read more

I went to Esther for the first time to get my hair extensions done. I have had bad experiences with extensions and I was going to give up on getting extensions again but I was looking forward to a change. As I walked through the door Esther made me feel comfortable and I let her hands control my hair. At the end of the process my hair looked much longer, beautifully full and natural! That even my family and everybody else thought that it's my hair just grew a lot all of sudden))) I can't wait to go back to Esther so she could continue her magic on my hair. Thank you Esther for not only changing my hair but also changing my life! My hair looks and feels amazing) read more

I wanted to share my experience with Ester. She is hands down the best in what she does! I can always count on her to get me all glammed up and put together. I'm a hairstylist myself and I don't like many people touching my hair, but I trust Ester and her creative approach when it comes to my hair. I have fine hair and lots of extensions and she knows exactly how to work with them creating a long lasting style which is hard to do when it comes to extensions. Thank you so much for all your efforts! read more

I can't possibly recommend Ester enough. She doesn't stop unless you're completely in love with your hair. If there is something you're unsure about, she will spend the extra few minutes or even hour perfecting your hair style. She's so nice and professional and actually listens to what you want. She did my hair several times and it lasted the entire day/ night each time. Her price is also very reasonable for the amazing care she provides- there have been way too many times that I paid so much more money to get something I never asked for, which is why I couldn't be happier with Ester. read more

I have to be totally honest!!! I have short hair that is really simple and not much can be done to it .... Ester completely transformed my hair from blah to FAB!!!!!!! I asked for Hollywood waves. She took my vision and turned it into a reality! My hair looked absolutely amazing!!!!!! It lasted from 8 am to well over midnight and to the next day! I got so many compliments and I only trust Ester for my hair from now on!!!!!!! She is so talented. Totally recommend!!!!!!! read more

Absolutely loved my experience with Ester! She is so talented and really a master of her craft!! My hair looked absolutely beautiful the whole night and even the next day!! Thank you Ester! read more

WOW! Ester's hands are made of GOLD! First off..I have horrible, horrible hair. Thin, damaged and FRIZZY as hell from years of ironing/ blow drying so I was always apprehensive about trying the wave trend since the first 2 times were MISERABLE fails (hair fell in 5 minutes). When I contacted Ester, she assured me that she had lots of experience working with thin hair and promised me my hair would hold for the night. BOY DID IT!! IT HELD ALLLL NIGHT! AND ALL MORNING!! NO EXTENSIONS NEEDED! Needless to say, I was thrilled and she instantly became my go to girl. She effortlessly copies any hair style I show her a picture of and always makes me feel comfortable when asking me if there's anything I'd like her to change or fix up a little. I've paid hundreds of dollars for "insta-famous" hairstylists to install extensions and copy hairstyles for me, all of which usually ended with me cursing them under my breath as I walked out of their salon, less than impressed for the $$$$$ I paid. Ester, however, was worth every cent. I've never received so many compliments on my hair before she came into my life! I truly recommend her to any and every girl!! read more
