Omg. Can't believe this salon was right by my hotel. They were amazing. The sudden warm weather and peloton classes were making my hair limp. So I needed a pick me up. I generally like deep conditioning for my hair. I have frizzy Indian hair which is thick and curly. No matter how much I shampooed, my hair was losing lusture and smoothness. I called them in the morning and got an appointment for the evening. I had a speech soon after that so it was so great to get an appointment on time. The salon is small. But the staff is just amazing. They are so welcoming that I didn't feel I went there for the first time. We talked so much I felt I have known them for years. No one has given me such an amazing blow for couple of years now. I'm from Connecticut and feel bad that they are not near Hartford :( but now I know where to go to when I'm in New York. It's very near grand central. At the end my hair is so smooth and the blow dry was so amazing , my boy friend thought I had a hair cut :) So it was indeed a very good find. If you are in New York definitely try them. read more

Really didn't like my experience. 1 - My hair was cut way shorter than I wanted. 2 - The owner was trying to upsell me some unnecessary hair botox treatment, which I clearly didn't want. I was also getting my hair dried and obviously couldn't hear her but she kept trying to upsell me, it was so annoying. 3 - I just hate the results. I felt so uncomfortable and I have honestly never hated my haircut more. I feel like look like a rag doll with short hair. I am not sure if it was the particular stylist I had versus the owner, but I just really did not like my experience. read more

Nico did a great job. Very reasonable pricing. Took me at short notice between her appointments.

I liked this salon until I paid over $100 for a blowout. Another customer was being charged a fortune for a cut and colour that she was in tears over. She was pleading with the owner to reduce the price. DO NOT go here. The owner is stressed and under pressure for money and it's obvious she will try to claw it back from every unsuspecting customer that walks in. The service is so-so but the inflated pricing just leaves such a bad taste. read more

The best cut. Reasonable price. Owner operator/Nika is so talented and professional. Location is close to GCS so if you live in midtown or are a busy commuter she has the ability to serve you well. I am a middle aged professional male and will not trust my hair to anyone else in NYC. Many of the other customers seem to be attractive young women, so the vibe is awesome while hanging out. I honestly think I was sitting next to a famous insta model last time I was there but I have no idea who she was. read more

My visit here was great! Place is quiet with just you and one other customers plus the stylists and one assistant. Makes you feel like they are only focusing on taking good care of you. The place is chic and clean. The lady asked questions of what you like and want and goes right to work. The hair was is good as always...Warm towel on your neck and those massage on your head.....Puts me to sleep! End result is exactly what I want as usual. Just enjoy it! read more

After looking for a salon in NYC where there are so many, L'Envie is the place to go. Nika is stunning and an expert in her craft. Ira is just perfect, from her expertise in hair cutting and highlighting, and just an all around pleasure to be around. There is never a long wait and all of the ladies there are kind and efficient. Hair Botox, which I had never heard of, helped my hair grow and shine for months, as explained by Nika. My highlights, done by Ira, were the perfect shade of natural blonde - which any blonde will tell you is HARD. I would absolutely recommend these ladies for any hair needs! read more

I live in Florida, but I travel to NYC regularly. I have been to this salon a few times! They do a lovely job on my hair.

BLONDES BEWARE! they will destroy your precious blonde locks with no remorse or apology! I came in with 4 weeks regrowth(literally not that much) ..left looking like I've been dragged thru hell and back. I'm now 25 going on 35..I wish I was joking. my beigey blonde hair has been turned GRAY with what is a very ugly dark root base??!! (ummm I went in to LIGHTEN my roots...now I look like I have 3 months of regrowth....) the owner was not very helpful or apologetic when I expressed my grievances. she simply told the girl to retone it .. which merely resulted in the very dark brown color being lifted to a god awful REDDISH BROWN.. and my blonde is still gray. it's muddy, it's ugly. I specified I wanted to be VERY blonde..highlights and a tint between(high lift color/bleach with tone at the bowl.. NOT a dark root shade!!) like the rest of my hair, hello.. on top of it all they took 0 accountability for what they did to my hair. it'd be one thing if they could actually own up and admit to the miscommunication issue, offer a sincere apology or discount perhaps???!! instead all of the workers came together to try to convince me my hair looks good...ummm.. lol just shows the entire salon is not to be trusted, honestly. seriously, avoid this place like the plague. ESPECIALLY if you're blonde and want to remain blonde with your hair in good health. see photos for the trauma I endured $300 later. unreal, they don't even deserve 1 star. read more

I was looking for a new salon and hairdresser in Midtown and I ended up coming here. I told the stylist whose name is Irina the style and cut I wanted and she delivered. It was more than I could ask for. I will be coming back to see Irina from now on. Definitely recommend! read more

Best hair stylist I have ever seen till date. They have very clear ideas about hair and are very professional. Before going there my hair was very rough and lifeless. I went with their suggestion and I must say the transformation was something I had not expected. The vibe of the place is amazing!!! read more

This was the absolute WORST hair experience - a total disaster! I came in for an ombre / balayage color. I showed the stylist pictures of exactly what I wanted. I emphasized that I wanted my hair to look natural and did not want bright blonde streaks. Four hours and hundreds of dollars later... I had horrific blonde streaks in my dark brown hair. It did not look natural and it was exactly what I said I did not want. When I saw my hair I was in total shock. I was very late for a birthday dinner that I was hosting so I had to run out. I put my hair in a high bun and tried not to think about the color. When I got home and looked at my hair again I was devastated. I work a corporate job and could not go to work with the hair color. I called / emailed / texted the salon and no response. This occurred on a long weekend. Thankfully, I was able to go to a different salon and they were able to fix my horrible hair color. When I finally spoke to the owner of the salon she refused to refund me for the hair color that I expressly stated I did not want. She said that I did not complain right after the fact so I clearly didn't hate it. That is absurd and incorrect. I received a service that I did not want and should have been reimbursed. This is the type of unprofessional conduct that causes people to contact the better business bureau. The owner offered to fix it... but only days after I had to fix it at a different salon because I could not go in to work with such a horrific color. -------------------- To respond to the response below: 1. I am not Amanda - so the entire response likely does not relate to me. 2. I did not text you prior to my appointment. I called to schedule the appointment. 3. I absolutely did not want anything dramatic. As I said above, I did not send any texts before my appointment. 4. I reached out the night after my appointment, not a week after. I had my hair done on a Saturday and did not hear from you until Tuesday. 5. Look at the picture below. This is NOT want I wanted. This is what I was afraid of. I look like a Skunk! read more

L'ENVIE - This does NOT look natural! - Hair Salons Near Me - New York, New York

I love coming to L'Envie. The place is clean, beautiful and inviting. The service is always amazing and most importantly I am always happy with my hair. I typically do everything from hair cut to hair color to highlights and I have never been disappointed. I love my hair. I also wanted something where I didn't have to constantly do highlights and have to pay so much to upkeep every few weeks. Nica, the owner, figured out a way to do exactly that and I love my hair. I always get compliments. She also works with me schedule and is able to fit me in. Great experience overall! I highly recommend this salon to anyone! read more

Excellent customer service and highly trained staff. I was vacationing in NYC and wanted a blow dry. My hair is very curly and difficult to manage. Two girls worked on my hair and did an amazing blow dry. My hair didn't frizz after and I highly recommend this salon. I'll be booking an appointment for my next visit to NYC! read more

I recommend this place to anyone and everyone. The staff was very sweet, and humorous, but also very professional and precise. I came in not knowing what I wanted to do with my hair, but left with one of the greatest haircuts I've ever received. Again this was all around an amazing experience. I am never going to another Salon again. read more

I got totally different color. Nika charged me 350 instead 270 as we agreed in the beginning even though I expressed myself it wasn't what I wanted. Looked one time money hungry, not thinking about customer who she would want to come back and spend more money there. Her lost. read more

I made a last minute appointment yesterday for today and walked in to this salon for the first time. They made me feel very welcomed. It's a small, quaint place but it still has an upscale feel to it. The service is on point and the quality is high. Kadi glossed my hair perfectly and matched the color exactly to what I requested. Hair cut was exactly what I wanted and she was super friendly. I highly recommend and I plan on returning. Reasonable prices for the high level of quality. read more

Just moved to the city about two months ago and have been on the hunt for a hairstylist for my hair. I'm very picky and took the time going to several salons for consultations and decided on this one. I met with the owner (stunning tall blonde woman) for a consultation two weeks ago and she quoted me an extremely reasonable price for my full highlight, glaze, haircut and blowout. I made my appointment and arrived yesterday. Upon arrival, a different stylist was tasked to do my hair than who did my consultation, which made me nervous. I confirmed with her the price that the owner had quoted and she said yes adding an extra $10 for Olaplex, no big deal. The process was seamless. My hair as you can see looks stunning. I am so happy with the results - HOWEVER- when the time came to pay- my total was 2X the amount I was quoted in my consultation!!! I thought this was extremely awkward and unprofessional since I had come in for a consultation and confirmed the same quote with the new hairstylist before she even put any product on my hair. I understand hair takes time and money especially to become this blonde but I wish there had been some more price transparency given that I had put in the time to make sure that everything was what I thought it was. They even charged me $30 for doing the olaplex "three times" but this was never communicated to me??? I guess I would recommend the salon however I would make sure you know exactly what you were paying for. I'm not sure I would have gone knowing the hidden charges and price and will definitely confirm with them again before coming back in the future. However if this is not a problem for you I would recommend it read more

I got a blowout at L'Envie earlier this week for an event. My hair looked beautiful and it was a fast and professional process. I couldn't have been happier with how it looked (and it photographed super well). The style held for two whole days, which was also a pleasant surprise! Nika was very accommodating of my request/reference photo, and she checked along the way to make sure I was comfortable and that I liked how it looked! She even came in at 8:30 a.m. to do it, which I really appreciated. Very clean and pleasant salon, as well! I would definitely come back here again! The price was very fair -- I have medium-length, thick, wavy hair, and the total cost of service before tip was about $55! I got so many compliments! It was well worth the cost of service, and I would happily go back to L'Envie in the future. I recommend for locals and tourists alike. Thank you, Nika!! read more

Nika is an amazing hair stylist ! I wanted a pixie (which not too many hairstylists in NYC are comfortable at) and a colleague recommended Nika. Best decision to visit her. Not only is the Picie amazing she also recommended a little coloring of my hair. I was very hesitant but I finally listened to her. It looks absolutely gorgeous ! Perfect color for my skin tone. I love my hair and Nika it is for me from here onwards. Have been receiving complements every day for my hair ! read more

L'ENVIE - My Pixie ! - Hair Salons Near Me - New York, New York

If you care about what your hair looks like, do not go to this salon. It was the worst experience I have had from start to finish. I don't think the person who washed my hair...has ever washed someone's hair before. She kept pulling little hairs out, not only with her hands but also with the water sprayer, water going all in my ears. Moving onto the actual haircut, this woman actually cut her finger with the scissors. Never in my life have I heard of a hairdresser cutting their finger. I should have walked out then but unfortunately I allowed this woman to completely butcher my hair. She chopped off over and inch and a half more than I asked for (leaving me with hair up to my lips, I wanted it to graze my shoulders). I also asked for curtain bangs....wow what a mistake that was. She chose random strands of hair and literally cut them up to my eyes when dry. To say I look like a clown with this haircut is an understatement. I would give them 0 stars if I could. Do not go here. read more

Nika did an amazing job!! I wanted to keep the length and add layers and frame the face. She did exactly what I asked for. I called the same day and she was able to take me in. She is so sweet and I loved my experience, will definitely come back again. Thank you for my beautiful new hair! read more

I recently got a hair gloss treatment and absolutely loved the results! I found this salon on yelp and decided to give it a try based on all the great reviews and I wasn't disappointed! The owner and her assistant were so wonderful, super attentive, and so accommodating. This was my first time getting a gloss treatment and I really appreciated them explaining the process and what to expect in detail. The salon was super clean and overall I had an amazing experience. I will definitely be back! :) read more

Excellent boutique salon at Lex Ave. I was looking for a salon with skilled staff at a convenient location. Read very good reviews about this salon and decided to give it a try. It turned out to be a fabulous experience. They responded promptly to my phone call and I was able to book an appointment via messaging. Nicole was my stylist. She listened to me carefully and did a great job! I will be back soon. read more

L'ENVIE - Haircut - Hair Salons Near Me - New York, New York

Nika always gives flexible times and gives an amazing, affordable haircut. Highly recommend for men and women!

I didn't get to know the salon because the owner refused to take me as a client after my big concerns about Covid-19 protocol in her salon. The salon is tiny so I wanted to make sure everything would be okay. I even told her that I was a little paranoid ( I didn't mention my personal experience with the virus ), I thought I didn't need to do that and she would be compassionate about my concerns, but she wasn't. She lost a good client and I got an appointment at an amazing salon with compassionate and wonderful professionals. I think in this life you need both traits to succeed. read more

I've been going to L'Envie for the past 3 years and have had the best experience with Nika! She always does an excellent job. I've gotten hair botox 3 years in a row and it's transformed my hair. It's helped grow and strengthen my hair, and also makes it frizz free for the summer. Could not recommend it enough!!! read more

I came in for a first appointment with Nika based on yelp reviews....I had recently cut ties with my prior stylist, who I felt had stopped understanding that my head is attached to my body, and it is the only head (and therefore, hair) I have to wear right now. I came in with an extremely grown-out and shapeless former bob. Also, with photos of what I wanted Nika to do for me. She took one look at my photos... and firmly suggested something else. I was a little taken aback, but in general, I like to trust stylists. I have never gotten good results by trying to micromanage them. I felt like she knew what she was doing, and that is why she was not thrilled about what I thought I wanted. I trusted her and am so glad I did! She spent a lot of time telling me about what she was going to do. She showed me photos of what she had in mind, even talking about the overall silhouette of the style with my body and face type. Then she got to work. She had a VERY light touch -- cutting just a tiny bit off here and there. She recommended a centered part (I have had a side-part for years). She told me I needed longer hair, not shorter. It was all...kind of the opposite of what I expected! But, the end result was really gorgeous. It has been a few weeks now, and this cut has grown out beautifully, too. I actually think it looks even better now that it is slightly longer (she had cut it so that it could grow out well). I can wear it styled (messy/beachy), or down straight and it looks cool either way. I have natural gray that I love, and she did not try to sway me to dye it, which was amazing. Instead, she gave me a cut that made it look it's best. I really felt like she took my hair seriously, and also gave me a great cut for my face shape. It is clear that Nika loves what she does, and has incredible focus. This experience was completely new to me -- but definitely made an impact and I feel now like I have a partner in making sure my hair looks fantastic. Also - just as an aside-- I'm so glad l'Envie has images of shorter cuts on their instagram. Many salons only show long, dyed, curled "Barbie Hair" looks...and most of the women I know wear gorgeous chic styles that are more effortless looking -- seeing the shorter styles in the mix helped me feel confident to book my cut. Thanks Nika -- see you again soon! : ) read more

Highly recommended. Nika is the best! Answered all my questions and gave great suggestions on what to do with my hair. Even came in on a Sunday to accommodate me. I have never felt so pampered in a salon before. Definitely found my new go to place! read more

Was in NY on vacation and decided to get my hair cut on a whim. Luckily was able to get in on short notice and the owner (I believe it was the owner) did a wonderful job with my hair.
