    Loved this place.Mrs. Joanna did my hair so amazing. She was also very gentle and kind with me. She was always asking if I'm uncomfortable or not. I was so cared for. Me encanto como hizo mi pelo la señora Joanna.

    I've gotten my hair done at highlights unisex nail & spa 3 times! I had jet black hair and now I have beautiful blonde/silver hair. I started with just brown hightlights all over my hair and then just continued to come to add more and more. My hair looks so healthy and beautiful! Thank you to the lovely Yoseline she did an amazing job and is very friendly I would recommend her to anyone

    I came all the way from Los Ángeles, CA to do my hair here in NY, I found this business on Yelp and was also recommended by a local girl to see Gertrudes to do my hair. She is so friendly and provided great service along with the rest of her team. She did exactly what I wanted and made my hair the perfect shade of blonde, i asked for the balayage and she got to work right away. They offered me coffee while waiting for color to develop, and all the staff made me feel very welcomed.. I will definitely come back back for a touch up with Gertrudes, she knows exactly what she's doing and left me feeling beautiful!! She even trimmed my hair just to even out the ends which made her work look amazing!! I give her and her team 5 stars

    After Gertrudis worked her magic!! I am so happy!!

    Wow, I finally found "the one"! You know the saying, finding a good hair salon in NYC is like finding the love of your life... yes, I had to kiss a lot of frogs to find my prince charming, in this case I am talking about "Highlights Unisex" Hair salon. After experiencing with trendy Manhattan places (Spoke & Weal), (Fox & Jane), etc.. that just made my hair look horrible plus having to deal with the attitudes of the hairdressers that roll their eyes up for everything, I took my chances and I took a 100 minute subway ride from Midwood, BK to Corona, Queens. It was Super Easy to get there, the 7 train straight to 111th Street and then just a few steps to the salon. Gertrudis, the owner, welcomed me immediately, No Appointment Needed!!!! Also she had a super positive attitude with great ideas about how to fix my orange hair and transform it into a beautiful ash blonde highlights!!!! After 4 hours of Gertudis working her magic she achieved the most beautiful highlights I've ever had in NYC. I am so happy to the point that I decided to open an account here with Yelp and recommend her to everyone. Wow!! Yo finalmente encontre al Salon de Belleza que he estado buscando desde hace mucho tiempo. Encontrar un buen salon de belleza en Nueva York es como encontrar el amor de tu vida!!! En este caso me refiero a "Highlights Unisex" Hair salon. Despues de estar experimentando con salones elegantes y de moda en Manhattan como "Spoke & Weal", "Fox & Jane", etc.. que solo me hacian ver el cabello horrible mas aparte tener que aguantar las actitudes de las estilistas que solo hacen caras feas cuando pido algo, me atrevi en ir a Corona, Queens desde Midwood, Brooklyn que es donde vivo y despues de 100 minutos en los subways llegue facilmete en el tren 7 en la estacion 111 St. el salon esta solo a unos pasos de la estacion del tren. La patrona del salon la senora "Gertrudis" me recibio inmediatamente, sin necesitar cita y con una super positiva actitud con ideas de como arreglar mi cabello que quedo naranja despues de yo haber ido a uno de esos salones en Manhattan. Despues de 4 horas de que la senora Gertrudis trabajo muy duro y uso su magia con mi cabello, ella obtuvo las luces mas preciosas que he tenido en Nueva York. Estoy tan contenta que decidi en abrir una cuenta aqui en Yelp para recomendar a toda gente este salon de belleza y a la senora Gertrudis.

    Nice cut

    It's always hard to find a hair salon that knows how to cut my hair correctly but I think I found one. The salon is always pretty busy the last 2 xs I have visited. It's always very clean and everyone is super friendly. My hairdresser IRIS is very gentle at handling my hair and I have never felt rushed. She's a sweet older lady and cuts my hair wonderfully. I have been here 2xs already and I am very happy with the results. Maybe next time I'll try some highlights.

    Rare to find a Dominican salon that can do body and waves this way! Love!

    Absolutely sweet service from start to finish. From the moment we walked in, washed my hair and in the chairs within 7 min done by a total of no more than an hr . Totally appreciated her desire to socialize with me. Offered me wifi access! Hair looks fabulous and even gave me bobby pins to pin my hair up later. Will return!

    An amazing experience, every time. I usually come here once every couple of months to get a hair-cut and a blowout, and I always leave very satisfied. I've gotten everything done here, you name it. The ladies are so pleasant, and they work with all types of hair. They also provide a variety of services; haircuts, blowouts, specialty hairstyles, braids, manicures, pedicures, etc. the establishment gives off spa vibes for super reasonable prices. Today, I got a wash, cut, and dry for $30. I'm leaving very happy, once again, with my experience. The best feature of Highlights Salon is their customer service. Although the salon is large, they make you feel at home by providing things like coffee and initiating friendly conversation. It's no wonder why they have so many loyal customers.

    Ana was my hair stylist and she seriously did such an amazing job I am shocked! She lifted the red out of my hair & gave me ash blonde highlights, without damaging my hair at all. She will be my forever go to stylist from now on. Love her!

    This was my first visit and it won't be my last. After reading the yelp reviews, I had to check this place out myself. I had Iris and she's my new favorite person. Super attentive to what I wanted and she took care of my hair, which is a beast to handle. My color came out amazing and I will be coming back!!!

    They just recently changed their location, but only a block away from where they original where located, but all the same ladies are here!! Including the owner Jertrudis which is AMAZING! Even the Nail ladies are here located in the back. This is my To-Go place! The prices are great! And whatever you want they make it happen! So come and spend your day and get beautified here!! Frown your, waxing! To your nails & toes Ect.. To coloring! Highlights, cuts & styling! You won't regret it!

    I love this place. The owner and workers are amazing. They are very professional. I will only get my highlights done here. They did my hair and sister's hair for her sweet sixteen. We were very satisfied. Me encanta este lugar. Son muy profesionales. Nos hicieron para la fiesta de mi hermana. Nos quedamos muy satisfechas.

    Iris did a wonderful job!

    I can't say enough great things about Estelle Hair Studio. I've taken my kids to get haircuts…read moreelsewhere, and Stella was able to completely fix it since then, she's truly the only person I trust with a pair of scissors for myself or my girls. She's phenomenal. She truly knows how to work with all hair types and textures and always goes out of her way to make sure her clients leave happy. From the moment you walk into the salon, you're greeted with smiles and the best positive vibes by the stylists and receptionist. I come here almost weekly for my blow-dries, and I've honestly sat with every stylist. They all know how to work with my hair and make me feel content. They already know how I like my hair done and won't let me get up until I'm happy. Shout-out to Shayla, Arianna, Stella, Nina, Francisco, Nafisa, and Gulya every single one of them has done my hair and they're all amazing. I also want to highlight the ladies who wash hair, Emma and Valentina, who are both amazing. Your hair feels so clean, and the scalp massage is next level. Every visit feels pampering and relaxing. I genuinely love coming here. Highly recommend.

Kudos to Valentina for having silk hands when washing and massaging my hair/scalp and for Nafiza's calm and professional nature. I'll be back for color! Great place!

I walked in on a weekday and was given a spot immediately. Their store is very spacious with lockers for your personal items and they have a reclining chair for the hair washing station so it's not an ab workout to get on/off! Service and attentiveness is amazing here. Here comes the haircut part. I have really thick hair so even when I go for a trim, the hair cut can take almost an hour. My hairdresser was AJ - I told him what I wanted (2-3 inches trim) and he said he was only going to cut layers in the front and leave the back as is given how thick my hair is, it'll be too frizzy if he layers Sure. He was done with my haircut in 20 minutes, and as I got up to check I noticed multiple hair sticking out in odd places. He sat me down and went off snipping those off. I take off the apron and towel and recheck - there's still uneven areas, so he fixed it while I was standing. While he was "layering" the front of my hair, I told him I like my hair part on my left side. He said "you will have more volume if you switch parts to your right side" and proceeds to cut my hair with my hair parted on the right. I've never had my hair "layered" like this but the ENTIRE front section of my hair looks like it was just chopped off in a straight line (see picture) without a gradual shift in lengths. This review's saving grace is he did say if I had a problem with my haircut I can always come back and get it fixed. But unfortunately I don't have the time to go back and also not sure how they can fix this when it's already that short. So 5 stars for service and the rocket ship of a hair wash station, but hair cut was very much below my expectations for a $70 price tag.

    I'd recommend the mani/pedi treatment here. The price is on par with other places in Flushing, but…read morecheaper than Manhattan. Not only that, the attention to detail was better than the spot I normally go to in Hell's Kitchen. The spa is an extension of a hair salon, which is located in the Tangram Mall.

    I can't stop looking at my nails!…read more I've never done my nails outside before, so I was excited when my friend suggested doing our nails here. The spa is located on the second floor. Make sure to call to secure a spot, as they can easily get booked! The place is cash only, with tax if you Venmo/Zelle. The place was very chill, with the nail techs chatting with each other throughout my experience while they casually work their magic. I got the Gel Manicure ($40). They started off asking me to pick a color from a selection of books. Then the nail tech asked what shape I wanted, and began filing, shaping, and trimming my cuticles. Note to self and other nail newbies that nails need to grow out super long if you want square gel nails, to prevent the gel from touching your skin. The process was overall very relaxing, and fascinating for me to see the amount of care the lady puts into perfecting my nails. The process took around 1 hour 30 minutes, and even with my first time nails, the lady was chill and accommodated with patience, tips, and skill in making the gel manicure work on my short nails. Both my friend and I were very satisfied. My friend had the Regular Manicure ($15) and she noted how they added a finishing nail enamel spray, which other places don't do. Consider Arete for your next girls self care day!

    Extremely Disappointed After 2+ Years of Loyalty -- Very Money-Hungry Business That Doesn't Value…read moreCustomers My sister and I have been loyal, consistent clients at this salon for over two years. Sadly, our recent experience has shown that they care more about money than treating their customers with basic respect and professionalism. I sent a deposit to secure an appointment, clearly expecting it to go toward the booking. At no point did I say it was a tip. The owner had previously canceled on me last minute, and I was understanding. Instead of asking for a refund, I chose to reschedule. When rescheduling, I was told a time with no clarification of AM or PM. Since I asked for the earliest slot, I assumed AM. I traveled from Brooklyn to Queens early in the morning and waited 45 minutes without a single response to my texts or calls. Hours later, I was finally told to come back. Frustrated but still loyal, I canceled other plans and returned--only to be offered a free manicure to make up for the mix-up. That day, my Uber costs alone were over $100--more than the cost of the service. Given all the inconvenience, I chose not to leave a tip, which is well within my rights as tipping is optional. I usually always tip, but not after that experience. Later, I was refused service completely--because I wanted to apply the deposit I had already sent toward a new appointment rather than let them keep it as a tip. Denying a loyal customer over something so small and unjustified is beyond unprofessional. This business lost two long-time clients over a situation that could've been resolved with basic communication and decency. If you value your time, money, and being treated with respect--go elsewhere And I'm happy you responded the way you did because you only proved my point more of how viewed your customers as optional and I wasn't valued as a customer after 2 years of loyalty and consistent tipping !
