Got a haircut with Nika, and was very happy with the results! I had pretty long hair and was prepared to cut off 10 inches or more, but had no idea what cut would look best. Nika immediately had a clear, intuitive sense of what would look good with my hair type and face shape, and gave a detailed description of what she was preparing to do before starting. She was very careful not to cut my hair too short so I wouldn't regret it later - much appreciated! I love how my hair turned out! The entire staff was extremely friendly and polite. Overall, extremely pleased with the experience, and I will be coming back for sure. Nika also recommended trying the "hair botox" treatment (somewhat of a misleading name, it's just a deep conditioning treatment, non-chemical) and I came back a few weeks later on a whim to try it out. My thick, once-frizzy hair has become silky smooth and more manageable/low-maintenance than it's ever been! So if Nika suggests that this might be good for your hair type, I would definitely consider it, even if you've never tried any kind of fancy hair treatment before (like me!) read more

So happy that I made an appointment here to get my hair done for a nearby black tie event. A very nice and talented Russian woman gave me the perfect updo after I showed her a few pictures of what I was going for. I think her name was Julia. Highly recommended! 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. She recommended treatment for my hair and options on how to blend my grays. I wasn't able to go back for the hair color but if I could have, I would have. read more

Came here about a month ago for a blowout. Called an hour before to ask for availability. Nika is lovely, gracious, and attentive to details. Truly enjoyed speaking with her, and she turned my limp hair into a beautiful work of art with her blowout! Highly recommend. Will be returning :). Thank you, Nika! And thank you for the poetry suggestions. read more

I've been going to Nika for years for color and blow dry, both of which she does with care and finesse. I see her working other hair treatments including cuts as well, she's a perfectionist. I highly recommend Nika at L'envie Hair Studio. She'll try to work you into her schedule if it's last minute even if it means working later or coming in early. read more

I had a lovely experience having my hair cut with Albina at L'Envie. The staff are close like a family there, which is a nice change and creates a functional, comfortable work environment, which made it comfortable for me to be there as a client. There was no weird tension in the air. You'll understand when you go. The studio is clean and conveniently located in Midtown East and when I went in it had a young vibe because they were playing house music. They got me water when I was thirsty, and Nika asked considerately how much I wanted to take off and if I wanted a conditioning treatment. I only cut my hair once a year because any extra penny I put back in to my aromatherapy product business: so imagine how kind and professional she was being! Please tell them I recommended them when you go in! read more

Nika is wonderful! My hair is crazy-thick and stubborn and trust me, many are the stylists who have naively thought they could layer it...leaving me with the coveted "mop effect." Nika knew exactly what to do and how much length to leave, to bring out a nice shape for my hair to fall into naturally. She also did wonderful highlights. I plan on coming back for my next cut and bringing my daughter as well! read more

I was visiting and my hotel recommended this salon. Grateful for Nika to fit me in and she did a great job with my color. She also made a lot of good recommendations for me. Recommend for both tourists and locals! read more

I'm so happy I found L'ENVIE when I moved to NYC. I've been going to Nikka for my haircut and highlights. She also does an amazing job with my blow-dry which I am addicted to and get almost every week. Everyone at the salon is sweet and professional. Highly recommend read more

Yuliya is skilled and works so efficiently ! I highly recommend this salon for its atmosphere and technique. read more

This is my fifth time at this studio but my first time seeing Nika! I will never go anywhere else. She listened to me, looked at my hair and after a short discussion, together we came up with EXACTLY I wanted. I have never been happier with a stylist, my color, cut, etc... Plus, it was extremely reasonable. They offered refreshments and while she was busy, she never made me feel like she was. First rate service. THANK YOU!!! read more

Review I scoured different sites for hair salons in the city; this salon constantly came up with positive reviews. And, I am here to add yet another to their long list of adoring followers. (I also don't write many reviews, but I was so pleased with their work that I knew I had to.) Both women working there worked together to find the perfect color combination to fix my blonde hair; they spent hours meticulously brushing on highlights and using toner to get the perfect combination. They consulted me throughout the process but were also experienced enough to guide me through the decisions. They took no shortcuts-working extremely hard and giving me the exact look I hoped for-bayalage. Additionally, they trimmed my hair, noticing that the stylist before (from another salon) had cut it unevenly; the trim alone did wonders-and the haircut immediately made my hair lay better. Months later, my hair STILL looks great-the bayalage is growing out perfectly. I HIGHLY recommend coming here-the team is incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and collaborative. Love it here. read more

Best haircut in the city! This is the second time I get my haircut done with Nazima and from now on I will only let her cut my hair. She is a great listener, and delivers exactly what you want. read more

A very nice and reasonably priced hair salon in mid-town. I was in town for a business trip, and didn't want to spend over $100 on a monthly hair color tough-up. L'envie was able to take me the same day (mid-afternoon during the week). I had a color treatment with Khadi, and she was very detailed oriented and efficient, and also lovely company. It's not a super luxurious upscale salon, but nice and clean and efficient, and with a great location and staff, and fit what I was looking for perfectly. read more

From the name of the salon you wouldn't imagine there is also a nail salon cramped in there. I desperately needed a haircut and they were happy to accommodate. The space is clean, well lit and air conditioned. It was my mistake I didn't being a photo as an example because I take for granted that not everyone knows how to work with curls. The stylist was lovely but I felt she was a bit pushy insisting on reducing the length in the front. I specifically don't like short layers and told her so but she insisted it was uneven and had to be a particular length. Worth noting they do not have a great deal of products helpful to curly hair and the products they do have are definitely not Curly Girl Method approved. The end result was decent but again not good for curls. I'm sure they do an amazing job of you have regular hair. Also I really appreciated that they accept Venmo payment. read more

A friend and I were in town on vacation last weekend and we wanted to get a blowout and/or nails done before heading out for the night. After a quick Yelp search for nearby places, we found this salon and gave them a call. They were very friendly and had availability for two blowouts right away, so we headed over. So happy we stumbled upon this place! They offered a reasonable price for the blowouts. After a nice shampoo/condition and scalp massage, Nazima politely offered me a haircut to help with the shape of my hair. I had been secretly craving a haircut as I recently tried a DIY trim and slightly messed it up. She described what she would do to refresh the layers and increase the volume, etc. She seemed very professional and knowledgeable, including re: what to do for my naturally curly hair which I usually wear curly. So, I decided to go ahead with the haircut, and I'm glad I did! Meanwhile, my friend was able to get a manicure done by a lady from the adjoining nail salon simultaneously with her blowout! Very efficient service! We felt pampered and loved the results! read more

This is a great, reasonably priced for a guy to get a haircut. I come here whenever I'm in NYC, which is about half the year. I discovered it maybe a few years ago and have been returning again and again ever since. I've had both Nika and the other stylist (sorry, don't know her name) cut my hair, and have been really happy with both. They both understand how I want it cut, but they're also not shy about saying if they think trying something a little bit different might be worth a try. I'll admit I'm pretty vain when it comes to how my hair looks and I had my hair cut at a lot of places before I found L'Envie. This is the first place I've found that I've wanted to keep coming back to every time. I highly recommend it! read more

I really love my haircut. My experience in this Salon was amazing, good energy , good music, they are animal friendly. I travel for a living and try different places around the US, have to say this place made me have such peace when I walk in and over all the results of my haircut were amazing. Thank you so much "Heidi " and "Nika" was a pleasure to meet you and defenitely see ya when I come back for my next haircut. read more

My favorite salon in the city. Nika is very responsive and listens well to you needs.

L'ENVIE consistently delivers a great haircut, and the team is always responsive when it comes to scheduling - I've often been able to get an appointment within a few minutes and their flexibility is appreciated! The salon is spotless, the service is excellent and I consistently receive compliments from friends and family after my visits. Their location is also extremely convenient. Two big thumbs up for L'ENVIE! read more

Nika is by far the best! She is an amazing hair stylist. She knows how to cut, color and do up dos. For a very important day , she took me in early in the morning blow dried my hair and did an up do just how I wanted. Pictures say it all! read more

Came in for a root touch up and blow dry. Iryna really took her time to make everything perfect.

It was my first experience and usually I am picky. I walked out with nice new haircut and color, very satisfied with the service. Director and all staff are friendly. Prices reasonable. Good place to come back read more

I knew Dilya from years ago, and I regret it took me so long to come find her at this new studio she moved to. I had three inches cut off and she provided such a thorough haircut and very collaborative during the process, verifying length being ok with you, etc, definitely recommend her. Will definitely come here for my haircuts on the regular. On the studio it's very convenient to be able to walk over to get your nails done, the staff overall is very helpful and kind. I also met Nika and she is very nice! Did I mention the coffee is so good haha nice pick me up. read more

I've had several great experiences at L'Envie. I recently moved to NYC and was in need of a new hair salon. I booked a hair cut with Nika a few weeks before my wedding and was really pleased with her expertise and recommendations. She encouraged me to do hair botox, which I had never heard of before, and I am so happy I did the treatment. The texture of my hair is much healthier and the frizz is significantly more manageable. Just in time for both the wedding and summer heat! I went to the salon for a third time to get a color refresh and completely trusted Nika to make my hair look great - which she did :) read more

Heidi gave me the absolute best color and highlights I've ever had. Wonderful customer service. Champagne while waiting. Perfection!

Had my hair done with Nazima today. She was amazing and my hair color came out perfect. She know exactly which tones went with my natural hair color. She did an amazing job with my haircut also. She is truly gifted! read more

I needed to get my hair done between a work meeting and a charity luncheon. They did an amazing job! Not only was I able to get a really great hair do I was also able to get my nails done at the same time. For a busy working professional this is a huge life saver. The customer service was great. I recommend if you ever need you hair done in midtown east. read more

I would highly recommend this salon. I came in at the end of March to dye my hair from dark brown to platinum blonde, and it was easily the best work I've received from amy salon. The staff is excellent and deliver results of the highest caliber. I've been recommending the salon to all of my friends since, and everyone who has been has only had positive reviews. I look forward to returning. read more

I had a terrible experience. I came here because the salon is close to my office and they have good reviews. I wanted to lighten my existing balayage that I had done at a high end salon. A few red flags jumped out at me as soon as I walked in. I probably should have left, but I felt the good reviews weren't there for nothing. Firstly, the "salon" is an extension of a nail salon. Secondly, a woman was crying, absolutely hysterical, about her balayage. The staff was obviously stressed about this woman. They ignored her cries, occasionally responding but generally brushing her off. The next few red flags came from my own dye job. Michael slathered bleach without direction or skill. Compared to the job done at my previous salon, he was crudely applying it with no pattern. As I am sitting waiting for the bleach to take effect, him and a few other stylists come to me asking the same question- which color I wanted and to show them a picture. I felt it odd, but explained myself every time, only to be cut off mid way. By the time another flag was raised, it was too late to leave. I spotted a few of the stylists gathered around a color book, discussing in Russian. That's when I knew I was not in good hands. My hair is shampooed. As I am being washed I feel a few extra hands come to the sink and explore my hair. There is frantic conversation in a foreign language. I ask what's wrong, is everything okay? A few moments of silence and then a garbled affirmative. Turns out everything was not okay. My hair ended up being botched horrifically. I had bright orange strips, randomly placed, in uneven patterns all over my head. Gone we're the subtle highlights I had not only a few hours ago. Instead, i looked like a cartoon. I even sent a picture to my mom, in disbelief, of the botched job. She was in shock, joking that my own father would probably walk past me in the street instead o interacting with my strange new look. Michael picked up on my distress and brushed it off, continuing to happily chat and work with his other client he took on in the mean time. No he did not approach the issue as soon as it transpired. He casually looked over his shoulder and turned back. The other stylists at least made an attempt to fix it. I asked for a neutral black as was my natural hair. They attempted to talk me out of it, but there was no way I was trusting them to try again with coloring. I figured all black would be impossible to mess up. I ended up leaving with black in some parts, orange in some, hair. Just horrible. I also had to pay for the botched job! I'm still reflecting on how ridiculous this whole situation is. How the "stylist" casually reacted to the mistake, how he, on the first place, just slathered chemicals around with no direction or purpose. At the end of the debacle, he had the gall to try and charge the full price for the balayage. I countered with just the price for the black dye, which was way too much for what my hair had to go to, and the cover up of the l high end salon job that I had prior to this disaster. Just horrible. read more

Nika always takes good care of me. She is thorough and very skilled. It takes me more than 1 hour to get to her and I still stay a loyal customer after these 5 years. Thank you, Nika!!! read more

Amazing salon can't believe these ladies do so well at cutting men's hair. Honestly the best in midtown!

I had a wonderful experience at this salon. I came in without an appointment at the end of the day to get my roots touched up and not only did Nika do a great job with the color, she also kept the salon open and didn't rush. The color looks fantastic and the service was excellent. I look forward to coming back! read more

"L'ENVIE", has proven to be a more than adequate barber shop/hair studio. It's always difficult to determine the skill level of a hairstylist based on the experience of others --the vast majority of barbers (as Mark puts it) are in fact butchers: their innate skills are lacking, their styling options are horrendous, and their core nature is nothing short of brutal and aggressive. Marquis Markette and Jack have recommended that I go to an actual stylist rather than the typical tainted barber who claims to know how to give a proper haircut. Some of the barbershops have been OK, most have been a VERY poor experience ... the smallest percentage have proven their expertise ,,, Although I'm not a barber, I can equate it to skiing (based on MANY experiences) --it doesn't take much to learn how to ski, but to be an excellent skier, THAT requires both tremendous practice and supreme natural ability ,,, Upon entering "L'ENVIE", (for the haircut option) the customer will receive a hair-wash and will then be prepped for the haircut. Marina was my barber, and overall, she did an excellent job. During the haircut, after I asked Marina about my specific hairstlye, the barber next to us commented that it won't be easy to do a good job on my hair-type. I found that comment to be extremely offsetting. Maybe he chose the wrong career? While I was getting my hair cut, I noticed that my hairstyle was more 'cabochon' than 'faceted', so Marina spent the time creating a fading that wasn't too drastic in order to combat the 'cabochon'. She spent the necessary time and effort to do so. The owner (I believe) was very respectful and professional. It is important to be heard, and BOTH the owner and Marina provided that excellent care and customer service. The overall experience was great, though because of the butchers out there (i.e. previous bad experiences), I couldn't take my eyes off the mirror to enjoy my tea ,,, "L'ENVIE" is highly recommended !! 4.5/5.0 read more

Got a great blowout from Nika this morning after calling in late last night to see if she could squeeze me in. Not only was she was able to accommodate my request for 8am, but I got an amazing blowout for my birthday! I left feeling great, got lots of compliments, and it's held up for 8+ hours and still going strong. Happy to have such a friendly boutique salon in my neighborhood that I can count on. read more

This place is across from my office, so I decided to give it a try based on the positive reviews. I went in for a haircut, and was given a great rate for a highlight/cut so I ended up getting my highlights touched up with a partial, in addition to a cut/blowout. (I usually am pretty breezy about haircuts, but I can be finicky about color.) Nika did both, and she was like a mindreader in terms of knowing exactly what questions to ask, and exactly what style/color to deliver. She NAILED IT. Very very happy with the result! And I was really appreciative of how much attention and time she spent to blowing it out. She seemed to have a legitimate interest in ensuring you got EXACTLY the cut and style you wanted. I will definitely be returning. Thank you!! read more

Thank you to Eva (not sure of the spelling!) for correcting an awful haircut I got in Park Slope. I called on Saturday night after leaving my regular salon with a botched Pixie cut and they were able to squeeze me in on Monday night (I couldn't make it there Sunday). Eva did her best to even out my too short cut and make it into something workable. Staff was friendly and small salon was very clean. Will come back again when my hair grows out a bit! read more
