Lovella is a very professional and clean salon. Dao is a wonderful colorist and stylist. Today I had a hair relaxing treatment (getting ready for the rainy, frizz weather). She did a perfect job. read more

Katy is consistently amazing. She puts her whole heart into her work and really cares. I go for cut and color and I started bringing my kids for their haircuts now. Yesterday Katy trimmed my daughter's hair beautifully and made her feel so proud. read more

I requested a hair coloring and highlights. Based on a friend's referral, I asked for Julio. I could not be more pleased. First, the salon is very welcoming. Second, Julio is absolutely lovely and knew exactly how to "mix the colors" so that my hair color looks natural and soft. I could not be more pleased and I highly recommend the salon in general and Julio in particular. Third, the salon's rates are very reasonable for the quality of services provided read more

Second time visiting, they are so nice and took the time to explain our different options for gel tips and designs. Pricing was fair and the quality of nails was good. Neat clean work. Jina was great and I think I'm going to make this my regular nail salon. Parking is a downside ( street parking with coins) but that's not their fault! read more

This is my first yelp review and I urge you to take into consideration the other bad reviews. I wish I did as this was truly the most HORRIFIC haircut I have ever received. I ended up with multiple thick uneven layers, even though I went in for a simple trim. I had to get an emergency appt the next day because I could not be in public with this hair cut. It was so bad that you could even tell when it was in a pony tail. Making matters worse, the salon owner, Avi, was completely unprofessional and rude. I sent him photos and said that I was open to a discussion as to how to fix the situation, but would not be returning because I did not have extra layers of hair to risk on another disaster. Instead of offering some compassion and acknowledgement of his staff's poor job, he gave a lackluster sarcastic apology then proceeded to berate me over the phone. He refused to admit that the photos I sent (and provided below) were bad. He was adamant that if I had gotten a blow dry, it wouldn't look bad. Truly no amount of styling can account for a complete butcher job. I'm confident that my dog could have given me a better haircut. While the cut was bad, Avi was worse. He is a pretentious and condescending who refuses to admit when his staff has made a mistake. Again, I wish I read the reviews before going because my grievances seem to be shared amongst many others. Avi's aggressiveness and poor customer service are also demonstrated in other reviewer's posts as he is quite active, telling people it is their fault or to "move on." For someone who spends so much time responding to comments, maybe that energy would be better spent ensuring you provide quality service from the start. Do not bring your business here. read more

I've been going to Cynthia for a few years and I am happy every time. My color gets so many compliments and I love the cut. She always takes great care of my hair and suggests the right care for between appointments so my hair stays healthy. The washer is always good and gives great head massage. So good for one block away and bo Madison Ave snootiness. Run don't walk to Cynthia. read more

Dao gives the BEST, most incredible long lasting blowdry! I have never received as many compliments after seeing her! Stunning.

I went in coz I'm new to the neighborhood and needed a cut desperately. My overall experience was average. The receptionist has an attitude not sure why, and didn't make my experience welcoming at all. The hair wash girl was great. My haircut was done by Maryury. She did a good job and listened carefully to all my requests. Having said that I told her I am going to an event, but came home with frizz and an uneven blowout. I will have to fix it again before going to the event. Here are my issues, I think the cut was overpriced given they have so many great salons around them who give great discounts to first time customers or have different prices for different stylists. It didn't do anything to stand out for me or want me to go back. So go If you are in a rush and don't have a budget. Otherwise go find another Salon and stylist that make you excited about a haircut and make it a great day! read more

Love Lovella. I rarely leave reviews but I'm truly grateful. Lifetime NYer, been to many salons, and Lovella wins - I've been going for many years - easy for appointments, so kind at front desk, great hours incl weekends, cappuccino, tea, water, lovely client service and setting - and Cynthia is THE best. Gives a great cut and color, and really knows what she's doing. Cynthia truly listens to what you do or don't want, offers helpful recommendations and opinions (and still listens) and for hair care; she's also just a good, kind person, a pleasure and always fun to see. Bonus - David, wonderful shampoo and head massage, and a lovely guy! Highly recommend. - Laura read more

Avi is a master beautician. His highlights are exceptional. I've had beautiful work done by a number other stylists on staff. Highly recommend. read more

It's a matter of principle that I don't write bad reviews. I always speak to the owner or manager so things can be rectified in a polite way. However, the owner stated, "I don't care if you write a bad review!" So here you are. I just paid over $600 for them to ruin my hair. No refund, no apology, no responsibility. One of the stylists damaged my hair to the point that half the length of my hair shaft broke off. Via text, I politely communicated with her, and she agreed to give me a complementary haircut to remove some of the damage. Most people would have been hysterical with such damage, but I did not yell or cry or get emotional. Hair grows out, so I just wanted to rectify things as much as possible. Yet after the haircut, which was not the length I prefer - but what choice did I have with such damaged hair - she told me I had to pay and if I didn't like it, I needed to speak to the owner! Incredible. Still speaking politely, I explained the situation to the owner. He stood over me and would not stop abusively lecturing me, as if it were my fault. I didn't engage him (it's never worth it with such people). When he finished, I told him -- again, politely -- that we had a difference of opinion, and that if something goes wrong and a client is not happy, at the very least he should try to rectify the situation. He said I needed to pay for the haircut and that he did not care if I wrote a bad review. So be it. I paid without arguing or speaking a word (why bother at this point?). And so, here's the bad review. Be forewarned. I was a client for years, but will never again set foot in the place. It's sad when people who work in the service industry only care about money, rather than ensuring that their customers are happy. In the event the owner responds to this review by saying that my name "is not recognized," denying I am a client as he has done to other who have written bad reviews on Google, let it be known that I went to Lovella Salon at 1302 Second Avenue. read more

I came in for a haircut. My stylist pointed out my old (over 6mo) blonde highlights - said they were making my hair look washed out. He said he would be able to apply hair dye on the highlights to match my natural color. I was very impressed because all stylists before have always said they cannot match my strawberry blonde hair. Well. This experience cost me over $200. Now i have half natural strawberry blonde hair, and the bottom half is dark brunette. In the sunlight I look ridiculous. Perfect for summer. Also my haircut is uneven. Dont think I'll be returning read more

Run don't walk here for Katy!!! Needed a local salon for makeup on the UES and this was the only salon I could find. I was hesitant as there weren't many reviews for makeup but trusted their reviews for hair were an indicator. Katy is the only person that does make up and I literally couldn't be happier with my look! Showed her some pictures for inspo and she did an AMAZING job. Going back for her to do my makeup for my engagement shoot in 2 months! She even touched up my curls free of charge! LOVE her! read more

I had a fabulous experience here with Katy and Marjorie for a balayage and cut yesterday. They were both friendly, professional and attentive to what I wanted. The salon itself is beautiful and the hair washing station had very comfortable chairs. I am really pleased with the result and will definitely be back! I received vouchers for 50% off spa services (as they have a spa downsf and 20% off my next cut. Update: Katy is just the BEST. She's managed to bring so much color and life into my hair and I am so grateful. She's very detail oriented, and I got a free redo as she wasn't totally satisfied the first time. read more

I WISH I COULD LEAVE NEGATIVE STARS- DO NOT GO HERE!!!! I came in as a BLONDE looking for root touch up and blonde balayage- LEFT AS A BRUNETTE- not what I asked for. (see photos for awful color) my hair was ruined by AVI - who charged me $250 for 6 foils-insane. He walked away once the foils were on and gave me no information on how long I'd be waiting or what was going on. They washed my hair with ICE COLD water. No gloss, no balayage (which is what they charged me for) at all. Upon drying my hair and seeing the DARK BROWN results it was clear I was in shock and unhappy. "I told you you'd think it was black!"-avi well I didn't ask for black/brown hair with a few blonde ends. I left crying. Had to spend $500 at a real salon to fix what he did- they were in shock that he would do this to someones head. when I called and asked for my money back they said no we don't do refunds and said they'd call me back. they never called back. when I reached out again they said no refunds especially after you went to another salon. TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE when I walked into the empty salon everyone was sitting down on their phones- no one looked up to say hello and welcome me in. Avi the owner was on his phone by the front door did not look up when I entered the salon and said hello. *GO TO A REAL SALON WITH EXPERIENCED COLORISTS* update: avi reached out to me personally- here is a salon owners idea of customer service in the attached photos "let it go"-owner read more

I came for a consultation in an attempt to strip and drastically remove & change a hair color I have had for over a decade. The person was attentive, listened to my needs carefully and advised a low maintenance low cost solution which was contrary to the expensive idea I came in with. The treatment and service were done in a professional yet very personable matter. The staff was friendly and the personal pampering was an additional touch which made this process into a very enjoyable experience. When I was done I LOVED my hair! It was exactly what I wanted but did not know what to request. The best part was, I didn't pay the outrageous amounts I was quoted by other salons. I definitely recommend Lovella Salon for all your hair needs! (especially complex situations). P.S. The photo does not do justice to my new gorgeous color. read more
