    After Effie dyed my hair blonde
    Cindy Z.

    The absolute best. I've been going to Hare Studio regularly since May 2021, when I decided to bleach and dye my naturally black hair into a cool ash blonde color. I get tons of compliments on my hair. It goes without saying that Effie is extremely talented at creating beautiful, even color. When I first bleached and dyed my hair, Effie walked me through the exact shade of blonde I wanted, and applied the bleach and toner in a way that created beautiful consistent color throughout. Not an uneven patch in sight! I now go in every few weeks for a root touch-up, and Effie always makes sure the color looks incredibly seamless. I cannot recommend Hare Studio enough, especially if you're looking to make a bold haircolor change and want to be in good hands.

    Amazing haircut by Effie. I showed her a photo and she gave me the most amazing haircut that considered my hair texture and how I like to style my hair. She really listened and checked in with me throughout the cut to make sure I was happy and also styled it pretty close to the photo. Thank you!!! I will be back!

    I've gotten my hair dyed by Emily three times, and my haircut by Effie twice now. Will definitely keep coming back cause they do a fantastic job every time.

    I recommend coming here wholeheartedly!!! It's always hard to find a place that will dye your hair the color you want, but Emily really did an amazing job! She really put a lot of care into the process and I found myself falling asleep quite a few times. Emily made sure that my roots were bleached evenly all throughout. She even goes to explain the health of your hair and offers advice so that your hair can stay as healthy while being dyed. I have long hair that's been pretty damaged due to bleaching and dying it a lot so her advice really helped me out. I've been to many different salons and have dyed, bleached, and cut my hair many different colors and styles and honestly, I felt very comfortable at Hare Studio and was more than in love with the final result. I wanted to get orange hair and the final shade was absolutely beautiful! Literally got compliments 5 minutes out of the salon from random strangers!!! I continued to get compliments throughout the whole month from men and women! The final price was honestly not too bad for manhattan prices and the results were more than satisfactory! I def have been recommending Hare Studio to all my friends whenever they mentioned getting their hair dyed or cut because it's worth it! I came back a second time and was not disappointed. This time, I wasn't sure what I wanted besides rebleaching my roots and having a somewhat light hair color. Emily made some suggestions and honestly it turned out quite beautifully! The end result is a rose color that I ended up really loving!

    Emily and Humphrey transformed me into a magical mermaid! Check the before photo to see my faded and green-tinted hair (that I dyed myself a few months ago ) and natural black Asian roots. They were able to create a beautiful silvery purple for the body, blending into the dark roots, and then lightened my front pieces for a silver grey money piece. I love this so much! Thank you! Btw NO FILTER on the photos

    Rose gold balayage
    Amy C.

    I came here for a rose gold ombré/balayage. I've grown to become nervous anytime someone does my hair because in the past I've had bad hair experiences. Emily did my hair and first off, she spent probably 30 minutes carefully discussing what I wanted to do with my hair. Seriously I've never had someone who devoted that much time to really understanding what I wanted. She was very patient and she also explained everything very carefully to me. Also I feel like rose gold is a hard color to get right and I'm extremely happy with the result. When she was taking pictures of me, people even walked by and were complimenting my hair! Emily is an especially nice person and I really enjoyed working with her. Additionally, the studio space is very nice. It's big and has a lot of natural light.

    Great place to get your creative color, this is their specialty, any idea you might have they will execute it beautifully, very skillful masters. Emily did my color, it came out AMAZING! No breakage, hair smooth and shiny, they use gentle color system, which delivers beautiful results without ruining your hair. Salon is brand new, very nice inside, bright and clean.

    This is my new go to hair salon in NY!! I've gotten my hair done twice here, once by Effie and once by Emily. Effie took me from dark brunette to a pastel silver color and did an incredible job, as well as giving me a haircut! See pictures for the transformation! I returned to get my color toned by Emily, who was also a total pro (forgot to take pics of this sadly). Both of them are lovely and listened to exactly what I wanted before getting started. I never felt rushed or forgotten about while here. The pricing is fair (on the expensive side but normal for NYC) and the salon is well air conditioned and is a nice place to spend a few hours while getting your hair done.

    AFTER THE MAGIC
    Celine T.

    I'm floored at how great my color by Emily turned out. I wanted ashy blonde-platinum balayage but also had prior hair adventures (see before photo). I had super dead ends with various toners in the past, and she used different bleach formulations to make sure my hair lightened evenly and as much as possible --without damage. The color and blending from roots to end was obviously tough (took 7+ hrs) but the end result was worth it. Emily listened to what I wanted in terms of color, and asked questions along the way regarding what I wanted for face framing, how I wear my hair, etc for color placement. The salon is super clean and COVID compliant. You can tell all the staff take a lot of pride in their work. I watched several other clients come through and it was awesome to see all the other amazing cut/color transformations.

    I keep forgetting to leave my review but I wanted to give Emily a shoutout for the amazing work she does. I've had my hair colored twice with her and she does a perfect job each time. The first time I had box dye in my hair but she was able to work with it just fine without any damage to my hair. The second time I didn't realize I had picked a complicated color (photo) but she got it to look exactly like the photo I showed her. I highly recommend her for appointments!

    This is my second time going to Emily. I first went to her in January to dye my hair for the first time in my life. I voiced my opinions to Emily that I wanted something lowkey (but fun) yet low maintenance, so we went with cool-toned deep purple peekaboo that fades into blue. I also told her that I have very fine hair and might be afraid of the bleach being too strong on my hair. She took all my concerns into consideration and delivered exactly what I wanted. Over the next few months, the fading was a fun journey and I got to experience purple, blue, and a bit of green. My hair never once felt dry/damaged and still felt very healthy! I went back to her recently to change up the colors for the spring and summer. I told her that I wanted to go dark pink that fades into pale pink. She told me there might be a chance that my current blue won't lift well, and pink might not be possible unless we do a very vibrant magenta, but it all depends on the bleaching session. I appreciated that she didn't just say yes then deliver empty promises. She made sure I was well educated so I can make an informed decision. Eventually, I decided to trust her with my hair and I'm glad I did. I love the outcome and am very excited to see what it fades into! The salon itself is very clean and simple. The staff are very nice. The assistants were also very gentle when washing hair. Overall, I recommend this place and Emily!

    I adore my hair, it's a part of my identity. It has always been difficult for me to find the right hairstylist. I am the kind of person who can look at yelp for days and hours to read all the reviews and comments to find the stylist that I can be comfortable with and trust. I have been going to Effie to do my hair for over two years already, and I have been a loyal customer ever since. This is the first time I am dying my hair at her new studio at 152 Allen Street. She always welcomes me with a big smile. She was surprised to hear that I wanted to do hair color this time. She looked at my hair condition and telling me that it will need to bleach two times since I had had drug store color dye before. She patiently explains how long the process will take based on the color that I want (silverish blue, if this is even a color name, lol). She doesn't give me any pressure of dying my hair right away. But I did. Effie's knowledge about hair color was phenomenal and made me feel safe. Her professionalism and what she put into it makes me want to take my time to write this review. She was also very patient explaining to me about the aftercare.  The color turned out great. Exactly what I expected and a little more. I am already getting compliments from my friends. I am delighted that I made this bold move, and thank you, Effie for this beautiful color.  You are awesome!

    Magic!!

    Emily is a true artist!! I've been thinking about doing something creative with my hair for the longest time but never put my thoughts to action. As my birthday is coming up (it's also pride month!) I found an inspiration picture and contacted Emily about it. My hair was pretty damaged from a at-home do-it-yourself dying session (DO NOT DO THIS!) so I was worry how it's gonna come out. But Emily did her magic and took extra good care of my hair! With 6 hours of careful and delicate work she deliver the color even better than I expected!! There's no breakage to my hair and the color was so beautiful and vibrant. I'm getting compliments from my friends from day one :) I also really appreciate Emily's patience as she answered all my questions and she also give me tips on caring for the colored hair afterwards. The salon itself is pretty spacious and clean.

    Do they use olaplex in their bleaching treatments?

This was their "best advice for me" and that I should come back and get both together. I only needed a haircut and this was the only chance I got (I am a SAHM with 2 kids and minimal backup except this day) so I said I would consider it but I need a cut now. It was 6 months since my last. That must have just not been the right thing to say bc I was judged, insulted during the entire session and I got the worst haircut of my life. I can't even get it fixed because it is so much shorter than I wanted. There are huge "texture" discrepancies all over my hair, the most obvious being in the back near my neck. There's also a strand of hair far longer than the entire length of my bob cut. I don't even understand how this happened. I'm so traumatized. I would never recommend this place and will never ever come back. I really had 1 chance to get a cut as a treat to myself, since I really don't have extra time to spare. And now I have to live with this until it grows out, definitely more than 6 more months. If I could give -1000 stars, I would. Please do yourself a favor and find a salon that can do a nice cut for long AND SHORT hair. WITHOUT A PERM TO MAKE IT ALL STRAIGHT FIRST. The skill level here is just so sub par. I could have done it myself.

I haven't cut my hair in 6 months and I have really long straight natural hair so you can say it is a blank canvas. This is probably one of the worst haircut I have gotten in years compared to other places that are in different price ranges. Leaving the salon it looked good styled but when I went home to wash it and had more time to look without it curled I saw really choppy layers and the length is much shorter than i wanted. For a cut I paid $107-110 not including tips and expected a decent cut for that amount. Truly disappointing as holidays are coming up and I have been wearing a hat to cover up, cannot wait for this to grow out but will take months. Ara was really sweet and nice but I don't think the skills were there.

The whole appointment (wash, cut, dry and style) took about an hour and cost $95 (I have relatively long hair, I believe they quote a price range to account for length). The salon itself was busy and a bit loud. It is very bright (likely because they do hair and makeup) and felt more like a party rather than a relaxing place/spa. They have a ton of staff so I was taken back right away. When I went, both men and women were there for haircuts and someone was getting their makeup done. I would absolutely go back and go to Senait again.

I'll usually end up walking out with layers which I hate because it doesn't really work for curly hair - I don't need that volume so much up top. That was the case here, and I don't know if these layers will eventually grow out and out pace my split ends, which was the main reason for the visit. I really just don't want split ends lol. Jane was nice and the stylist that my friend recommended (she has perfect hair and it might just be natural so difficult to use as a gauge haha). She had people waiting already and again the appointment doesn't really matter to a point. I'm always just not sure if curly hair cuts well with stylists in Chinatown and she advised blowing drying my hair more and coming in for cuts more frequently because my ends were so thin. Isn't that just layered hair though It was really busy and bustling in there and I got in and out in about 30 mins (+45 min wait) which is fine by me. $57 total - $45 for wash and cut, $10 tip for cut and $2 tip for wash
