Modern salon is a Dominican-owned unisex beauty salon in Washington Heights. While they primarily…read morecater to Spanish-speaking clientele, all are welcome. There are three hair dressers who do women's hair and they also have one barber who cuts men's hair. The hair prices are consistent with the other local prices, though there isn't always full transparency about what the prices are since they vary by hair length and thickness. I've known the owner of this salon, Elizabeth, since I was a child and I've been coming here on and off for several years. Elizabeth is very professional and knowledgeable about hair. Sometimes she will suggest treatments for your hair like Botox or keratin, but it never feels forced or obligatory. All of the women are very nice and I always feel welcome. My only complaint about the salon is that they do have high turnover for hair washers and there is only one. Usually there isn't too much of a wait but on busy days, it can get backed up with just one person. Their current hair washer, Carolina, is really good. She takes her time detangling and she is patient. I definitely recommend Modern Salon if you're looking for a new salon.

I was very close to coming back to this spot to get my hair cut and make this my go to salon cause…read moreI live so close. Today, I asked them to apply my hair dye that I brought from my house, because I have a wedding tomorrow and didn't wanna tint my hands. They charged me $70 to just apply the color, no blow dry, no rollers. The person just applied the color that I bought and brought to the salon. Their excuse is that I have a lot of hair (I don't) I wish that was true. This whole process took the most, an hr and a half. I would like to emphasize that again I brought my own color. When I asked her how much it would be with the blow dry she said $85. So the blow dry will be $15. Again I brought my own color, there was no blow dry, no rollers, I left with my hair wet and she looked at me in the face and said $70. Plus I tipped everyone who touched my hair. Safe to say I will not be making this go to salon. I feel like she pulled the $70 number out her ass. If she would've said like $50 ok... but they won't see me again. Everyone that touched my head seemed nice, but it's not worth this price. I legit spend $100 for an hr and half, no styling and I brought my own hair color. These are downtown prices.

I've also realized that out of all of the times I've dyed my hair at different places, it looked healthiest when I did my color at Vianel's. I did it YEARS ago but I remember she used Salerm products which is great for dry, weak and curly hair like mine! The salon itself isn't fancy or anything. However, it's a cozy, decent-sized space with talented women and they always use great hair products. She doesn't BLAST Spanish music like many other Dominican salons I've been to but she plays something every now and then at a decent volume. It's a safe and overall comfortable space to be in. :) Note: It's okay to ask the lady who washes your hair for another "round" of shampoo. They're all great about it and will make sure your scalp feels clean before you make your way to the chair. *Very important* as some salons have cranky women who seem to despise such requests!

I heard about both of them from my current hair stylist who said Roxan is the best for updo and anyone she hires for makeup is great. She did not lie. I paid my deposits for both of them and showed up at 11am sharp for my appt. I got my hair washed and i was out in the dryer with rollers while i waited for roxan. When my hair was dried, i got my makeup done and Roxan styled another client. After my makeup was done she styled my hair. She was honest about what would work and not work for my hair as my hair is very long but fine. And she added hair and things to make it look fuller. I left feeling beautiful and my son even called me a princess! It's now Sunday night and my hair is still intact, i don't want to undo it because i love it and have been sleeping with a bonnet and it looks exactly the same ! The makeup didn't budge at all until i washed it off. I will def be back for all future events. I loved the work and how convenient it was to get my hair and makeup done at the same location!

It's a pretty spacious shop considering there is one barber and one hairstylist however there are enough booths for at least two others. The Barber is Jerry and he is the truth! He works by appointment only and has the skills of a trained surgeon. Honestly, Jerry can make a Sasquatch look well groomed! He is extremely professional as well as knowledgeable. Unlike other barbershops in the city you will not spend half of your Saturday sitting inside as patron after patron come in and take the chair before you. His clientele is extensive and no matter how slow he is on the day walk-ups still are not accepted. Evelyn, the shop's namesake, is as pleasant as she is gorgeous. She is the first face to greet you upon entering and occupies the first chair. I'm not sure if she works by appointment only but she too does not have multiple clients sitting around waiting for her to get to them. Evelyn's Cuts & Colors is a wonderful place to get your sexy back!

She stumbled across this gem by accident. When she came home with a stellar, movie star blowout, she grabbed my hands, looked intensely into my eyes, and said, "Mija, this is the place you should go to from now on." Ha! To please her, as all dutiful daughter-in-laws try to do, I went. And I am forever grateful that I did, because after coming here now for the past two months, my hair had never looked better! ALL the ladies are extremely talented. They all do my hair a little bit differently (in a good way) though I'm sure if I specified exactly what I want (which I never really do) they'd do it perfectly. I've also had a one of the best haircuts here that works wonderfully for when I wear my hair curly or straight. AND I've had my color/roots done here, twice, and the results have been dynamite. These ladies are also incredibly kind, professional, fast, and their prices are fair and reasonable. I cannot recommend this salon highly enough. Will never go elsewhere as long as I'm living in the area.
