    The final touches. Birthday prep!
    Mindy C.

    Ronnet was absolutely patient with my 6.9 year old and the ridiculous amount of hair she has. She didn't cry and beg to leave and that's a big deal. All the ladies were wonderful. There was no wait, it wasn't crowd, was well kept and we will be back. I can't tell you how happy we are.

    My hair silk pressed before going to MBY salon
    Mrs B.

    This review was the most difficult review I ever had to write, but I look to Yelp for trustworthy reviews, so I hope this will help someone. Prior to me coming to this salon I had back length (when silk pressed) natural hair. I was tired of commuting to get my hair done and I saw this salon and it's marvelous reviews. The first time I went, I got crochet braids. I was impressed by the fact that the owner jumped in my car and went with me to purchase the correct hair. I decided to relax my hair, the service went downhill, after the relaxer my back length hair went to shoulder length. Up until today I have no idea how. I went to get another relaxer and my shoulder length hair went to neck length with one side longer than the other!!! I was so dismayed, I texted the owner right away and via text she replied sorry. I still returned to the salon after that; but the last straw was I made a comment about not liking my hair, while I was still in her chair and she waited until I was about to exit the salon to tell her next client in "Oh she don't like her hair, because she accustomed to it being on her back"! I had to go to Js salon so she could correct the hair trim/severe cut I received

    Wash, condition,trim, and silk press

    I went there yesterday for a wash, condition, trim, and silk press. My hair is natural and I'm very Leary of going to salons because I don't have time to spend all day in the salon. I arrived a little early for my appointment but I was seen right away. The salon is a warm and welcoming environment. The woman who washed and conditioned my hair was thorough and gentle . She did an excellent job and was very attentive. The owner pressed, trimmed and styled my hair.. she knows her stuff!! She Asked for my input before she started cutting ( I loved that). The end result was my hair looking healthier and way better than it looked when I walked in. I will definitely be going back. Too bad I didn't have a before picture.

    I just moved from Hawaii and needed a change in my hairstyle found this place on Yelp. Love the outcome of my hair, got there at 10am and was out a little before noon, she took her time and her worker are well train on the correct way to wash, set and dry your hair. I wish there was a parking lot, only street parking at this salon, welcome to New York.

    Found this place on a whim. Needed a good wash and set and wanted to go someplace where they knew my type of hair. I called and they were able to fit me in same day in about an hr and a half. I made my way to the salon and within the first few minutes I was seen, seated at a sink and had my hair washed. I don't know what kind of shampoo the young lady used but it gave my scalp a tingling sensation and smelled very minty and I will have to admit I throughly enjoyed it. Being the fact that my hair is considered natural I couldn't get my hair rolled set it had to be blow dried then flat ironed. I was placed under a dryer (after my hair was parted and combed out into sections) for about 2 hrs or so ( I have very thick and long hair). After the dryer they same young lady that washed me hair blew it dry. After a while when she was finished with one of her clients the owner then flat ironed my hair and it was soo straight. She even curled it to give it some bounce and volume. My only issue is that they don't oil your hair before they flat ironed it or blow dry it, and I don't remember them putting any heat protectant in my hair. They service was great and attentive s little bit my pricey then I'm used to but you pay for quality not by price and the quality was definitely outstanding. I will definitely be coming back

    Long and natural. Thanks Marcia!

    I haven't had my hair blown out in a longggg while simply because I've learned to do it myself…read more However laziness got the best of me so I decided to take a trip to impressions (which I've been to many times 5+ years ago). Anyways assuming new stylist come and go, I am solely basing this review off of my experience on 5/8/19. I went in for a wash and set, waited 45+ mins before I was even washed which isn't my main complaint. After sitting and waiting, waiting and sitting, being placed under a dryer which fried my scalp I was finally tended too by a young lady who seemed to be the only one styling hair. To make a long story short. My hair was NOT* styled to my liking and my scalp was nicely burned in more than one location (will insert photo) I personally will not be going back to this particular salon, but to each his own Recommendation: it would be nice to have at least 2+ people doing hair between washes, rollers, styling. Also if a customer shows you a picture of what kind of curls they like. Please do not do to the customer what you like. It does nothing for the person who didn't want that style originally.

    Well I'm definitely not going back! I've learned my lesson! Naturals stay away. My hair did smell…read moreweird after washing but I hope it's heat damage. Crazy right? That I hope its heat damage and not something else. I wish andrea and the old 2010 employees were still there. I don't know what has happened but stay away if you love your hair. A side note I always visited this salon in 2010-2012 and I stopped visiting after going natural.(I stopped using heat on my hair unless it was a deep conditioner)anyways I decided I wanted a new look and only kept it straight for 3 days since I love my curls and I missed them.

If you want a real relaxing, satisfying and entertaining hair experience. Look no further. They say all the best male hair stylists, reside in Atlanta. They lied. The Atlanta salon experience has come to Queens! I have a private stylist who works from home doing natural protective styles. Every 3 months I am due for a trim. I needed a Professional. I have been researching Queens stylists that silk press natural hair with Edward scissor hand skills for months. A good friend researched Polish on Yelp and was styled by Keith and I was convinced I should visit for my silk press and trim. Immediately when I arrived, I was satisfied with the ambiance of the salon. Clean and spacious. There were a few clients ahead of my appointment time, so Keith kindly introduced himself and explained that his assistant David would take me to the sink to wash my hair. What followed was pure bliss. David was a sweetheart. Highly entertaining and has magic hands. My shampoo scalp massage was a answer to a prayer! He washed my hair thoroughly and used great products. He did not struggle to detangle my hair so my blow out was seamless. He took his time and the service was worth every penny spent. Best shampoo I've ever had. The products used on my hair were great. Not heavy or cheap. Keith silk pressed me and trimmed my hair for the Grand Finale to give it dimension and body. The results were exactly what I desired. Clean, fragrant, LIGHT, full of body, bounce. Silked, Shiny, Sheared and Slayed by the Gods. I like that all the staff here are personable and hilariously funny. I had a great 3.5 hours spent here. I will be back. Many women will complain about the cost of salon prices but you truly get what you pay for at Polish. They live up to a true "hair lounge" experience.

On two occasions I…read morescheduled an appointment with the owner for a cut/ shape ( I wanted a bob), and on both occasions she did not show up. Both my appointments were scheduled for 11:00am; The first time I waited over an hour an 15 minutes for her and I left. Her employee stated there was an issue with her car, which is understandable things happen. She reached out to me to reschedule, but given my Scheudle It was not possible. Out of good faith I rescheduled as this was a one time event. On the second appointment I waited over 40 minutes for her. This time there was an issue with " her cable". While waiting she calls one of her employees in the salon and inquires what they want to eat being as she's getting food ( mind you I'm waiting ). She has no regard for the time of others or herself. If this is how she runs her business good for her. What I will not accept is getting a message from booksy stating that I was a no show, when I was there and she wasn't. She's overpriced and overrated!! Adjust your time slots for your business if you can't meet the demands of your customers.

    I hate to give a black owned business a bad rating but I will never return to this salon again…read more First off, my appointment was 10:30am but the salon never opened til 11am. When I walked back (for the 3rd time) at 11am I asked the girl inside what time do they open. She said 10am but today they were running a little behind and to have a seat. Okay cool whatever. Shortly after I came in, two more ladies also walked in and were asked to have a seat as well. I asked the girl what time my stylist was coming (as this was my first time here) and she said she would be here shortly (this is around 11:20ish). 12:10pm comes and I'm still sitting there annoyed so I get up and ask again .. is she coming or not because this is is just ridiculous. She directs me to the chair and begins the process and explains that when the stylist (Bubbles) comes in, she would finish the rest. If it wasn't for this girl being such a sweetheart I would've left the salon a long time ago ANYWHO! I'm under the dryer and it is now maybe 2:00? Someone walks to the back of the salon, picks up my hair dryer, touches my scalp and says 5 more min. Let me remind you I'VE NEVER BEEN HERE ! So I don't know who you are, you don't say hello, you just walk in and touch my scalp? As if I'm not annoyed already . I finally sit in her chair, she asks what style do I want and proceeds to ROUGHLY do my hair. No other words were exchanged, no friendly demeanor, it's almost as if she didn't want me in her chair. Then she had the nerve to suggest that she would stop in the middle of doing my hair to eat. EATTT??? (I think my death glare changed her mind lol) I was so happy when she finished my hair. I was satisfied with the way it looked, I won't discredit her for her skills. She's great at what she does. HOWEVER! The professionalism, I could do without. She definitely needs to work on being there on time and being nicer to her clients. For someone who was excited to do the big chop for their first time, she definitely robbed me of that experience.

I did not leave…read moretheir salon that day until after 2pm for a sew in with leave out and I came with my hair already washed and blow dried. A day before my appt I noticed they had switched who the stylist would be but that did not bother me at all. What upset me was the fact that i got there on time for my 8am appt but my stylist wasn't there so they had someone else do my braid down. It got even worse because once that part was done I waited over an hour for someone to even acknowledge me. I completely understand that it was a busy weekend but if you have a scheduling system all stylists should be aware which client they are supposed to be taking care of first. Whoever was supposed to actually do my hair NEVER acknowledged me or apologized for the unprofessionalism. I hope you ladies clear up your scheduling system because I really believe all the stylists in there do an amazing job which was why i noticed their instagram page in the first place and my hair did come out good but I just did not like how that day played out. I hope this does not happen again when I do decide to schedule another appt.
