I can't say enough amazing things about Miguel Lopez Salon! I get my Magic Sleek treatment done here every 4 months to maintain the long-lasting results, and I go every 2 months for haircuts and GK Keratin treatments -- and I wouldn't trust anyone else but Will with my hair. I'm extremely picky when it comes to my hair, and Will gets it perfect every single time. My Magic Sleek treatment leaves my hair smooth, shiny, frizz-free, and so much more manageable. The results truly last, and my hair stays healthy and beautiful between visits. My cuts are always precise, flattering, and exactly what I ask for (sometimes even better!). The consistency, attention to detail, and professionalism at Miguel Lopez Salon are unmatched. If you're looking for someone who truly listens and delivers flawless results every time, Miguel Lopez salon is it! If you're lucky enough, you might even get a glass of Rosé! I walk out feeling confident and obsessed with my hair after every appointment. Highly, highly recommend! read more

Absolutely love Miguel and Will. I found Miguel off of instagram and was immediately impressed by his work. I booked a half head of highlights and a cut and blowout. He was quick and the products he used on me were great quality. I felt extremely comfortable in his chair as we spoke and he heard my concerns and what I envisioned. I highly recommend coming to the salon. I will be back in the future! read more

I come to see Miguel regularly for my tri-monthly haircuts. Usually I get a cut to my shoulders with layers and full highlights. This time around I asked for a more neutral tone to still accentuate my natural color while adding bleach that is oil proof. I ended up getting toner instead of highlights. As a pre-graduation gift, Miguel gave me a large discount that was greatly appreciated and my hair looked beautiful for the ceremony and the party. In the future I think I'll stick to highlights to save money for the time being, but I did LOVE getting toner in my hair and Miguel is talented, a genius even. I've made an appointment before the end of august for my cousin's wedding and I know that Miguel is going to make the perfect "bridesmaid look"! read more

Miguel and Will are the best! Had the works yesterday (color, keratin and cut). I left the salon looking and feeling like a different person than when I entered. It's exactly what I wanted. Thank you! read more

Miguel was AMAZING! Miguel uses this special bleach that doesn't dry out your hair and creates the perfect blonde color. If you are a blonde looking for a real professional, that understands what kind of tone you want, definitely the place to go. read more

I have been a loyal and satisfied client of Will and Miguel since 2015, having followed them through three salon locations. No one does a keratin treatment quite like Will - he's absolutely amazing. I have tried other salons but no one has ever achieved the results that Will gets for me! He is very knowledgeable about every aspect of the treatment. For example, he knows so many techniques that other stylists just don't do during the keratin, for example: how to shampoo the hair properly so that the keratin adheres to the hair- he follows a very specific process (that is both gentle and thorough). That way the keratin is able to reach the hair and provide long-lasting results. There are so many special touches that Will adds to make sure your keratin treatment goes above and beyond, and I'm so grateful for him! From the beginning until the end of the process (of course, the time-consuming ironing at the end), Will is just fabulous and attentive. He is focused and detail-oriented, taking tiny sections of hair to iron and ensuring that every single strand is tamed and beautiful. I am always impressed by the shine, manageability, softness (and yes, sleek!) results I get after visiting amazing Will for my keratin. He is just unmatched as a keratin treatment expert, and as a hair stylist professional. Miguel Lopez Salon is just above and beyond the rest. I always have a great experience visiting them and get so many compliments and admiring looks after visiting Will for my keratin treatment. Plus, my hair is so much more manageable and I can get better results when styling at home. Will really knows what he's doing. I cannot recommend them more highly! read more

Absolutely love Miguel & Will. My cut and color always looks fabulous and no joke - people stop me on the street to compliment me and ask me where I go. I highly recommend!! read more

This is a fantastic salon located in a convenient location. I have gone to see Miguel to do the hair dreams hair extensions and have fallen in love every single time. He is a magician and works wonders while explaining the process step by step. He takes care of you until you are completely satisfied. I have recommended friends to him and will continue to see him for all my hair extension needs!! Thank you Miguel & Will! read more

Miguel is magical! Color, extensions and a blow out and I'm a new person. Miguel is so kind, always professional, knowledgeable, patient, answers all of my questions, always patient and an incredible stylist. Very fair prices for his services and experience. Highly recommend. read more

Had my second keratin done by Will! Not only is he the sweetest, he also totally knows what he's doing. He did the entire process in two hours and gave me a great blowout. Unlike other keratins, my hair didn't feel sticky or smell icky. I have thick, curly, and frizzy hair so I'm always nervous that keratin isn't going to be strong enough for my hair. But after a month of having had the treatment done, all I have to do is put a little leave in conditioner in & my hair air dries beautifully - which would have never been possible before. I can't wait to go back for round three! read more

Such an incredible experience at this salon! The best haircut I've had in a while and the employees are the kindest! Highly recommend

It was such a pleasure to get my keratin treatment done at this salon! Firstly I love how they are so customer centric. From carrying multiple products and brands for keratin treatment (to best suit customers' preferences vs most salons only carrying one brand) to how non-pushy they were in product sales! The salon was also very well ventilated with large windows (huge bonus during COVID and uncommon in salons) with a lovely mini garden! Will was not only very professional and efficient throughout, he was also very engaging to chat with. The hours flew by before I knew it! Thank you Will for the great experience! read more

Excellent keratin treatment! I've been Miguel's client for well over 15 years, and he's yet to disappoint. Highly recommended for all services. read more

So, five stars for my keratin treatment. My hair does look fab. And, it is true, no spray here. Will painted the keratin treatment onto my hair like it was a canvas and he was Picasso. I was charged more since I got a big ole mop on my head which was totally fair. I added a hair cut to the deal for another $50 via Lifebooker and it was a good haircut. Nothing life changing. My hair was pretty healthy, so per my request he just cut of the ends however, I did want my bangs shorter and a little bit more Zooey Deschanel like but, Will and Miguel agreed that once my hair was washed it would be shorter, not the case. My bangs are pretty damn long still and all up in my eyes and will probably need to be trimmed next week. To their benefit, they did say I could come in for a free bang trim at anytime but, schlepping back to Soho for a bang trim isn't a priority in my busy life. The salon itself is shared by many different stylists and they offer you coffee, tea or wine which is nice. They have a a variety of magazines too which is nice for that hour and a half Keratin/straightening process. Will and Miguel both were extremely nice and I'm psyched to have found a great place that does the real deal Keratin treatment. read more

Just moved to new York and your hair is begging for a keratin treatment? Look no further because you're at the right spot chick! Miguel's hair salon is beyond what you can ask for. I just moved here 6 months ago and my keratin was long over due. For me, doing my keratin anywhere other than where I'm accustomed to is scary; but as I walked through those doors and Will got his hands in my hair I trusted him 100%. He was very knowledgeable about all the different products, acknowledged my input on my past treatments and together we came up with exactly what we were going to do. I promised I was going to write a review of I liked it... Now here I am, 4 days later after my first wash last night and it is just beyond perfection. I've been doing the keratin treatment for the past 8 years and this I must say tops it all! Great service. Pleasant staff. Fabulous hairstylists! PS:. If you're worried about if they know how to work with your hair type(which I was)... They know! My curls were well taken care of and i still have some bounce after flat ironing it (as I wanted, you can go straighter if you like) read more

After trying out a few other salons, I found Miguel a couple years ago. Absolutely love being in his chair! If you haven't been yet, I highly recommend it. The actual salon is super cozy, and with just a few chairs you absolutely get personalized attention. Miguel and Will are so down to earth, and the space is new, very clean, has cute deco, and is always stocked with wine :) Miguel has that great balance of listening to what you want, and guiding you to the right color/style based on his expertise. I'm a naturally curly brunette, and go in for Keratin, cuts and color. Because I wanted a really natural highlighted look, he painted them in balayage-style and it looks incredible. I'm also due for a re-up on keratin next week, which completely smooths my frizz until my roots start growing out (2-3 months). Also it shortens my blow dry time in the mornings, and I don't have to hot tool if I don't want to. Definitely make sure you are using either the keratin hair care, or other non-sulfate shampoo so your results last. Thanks Miguel! read more

Great hair extensions, they last a long time! I love going to this salon ! Very welcoming atmosphere they serve wine and I love my one on one time with Miguel! read more

I had an amazing experience here! Would recommend based off all fronts -- product, pricing, service, environment, etc! The salon is very clean, fairly spacious and bright and well designed -- vs. some in Manhattan can be shoved in a back room and not so aesthetic. On top of the physical space, Will and Miguel are super friendly and based off my time there, it seems like they have a number of repeat clients which is always encouraging. I came in for a keratin treatment after doing a lot of research on nearby salons and comparing reviews / pricing. I've never had anything done to my hair besides get it trimmed so I was nervous but this salon seemed to have the best combo of reviews and fair pricing. Will explained the entire process to me beforehand and made sure to answer any questions. He was extremely diligent applying the treatment. I have pretty long and thick hair and I was happy to see he was very thorough to treat every hair vs. other salons I've been to have tended to be somewhat lazy when doing my hair, e.g. blow drying. With this being my first time getting keratin, once I washed my hair 3 days later I actually ended up needing a stronger treatment. I emailed Will and the same day he made time in his schedule so I could come back to redo the treatment with a stronger formula. Just like the first time, the experience was great and with the stronger formula, the results are great too! read more

It's been a few years and I should have done this before, but I still want to say I am so grateful to Miguel. He somehow manages to take my my mop of hair and make it glamorous! But I also appreciate his courtesy, kindness, and professionalism. And even though I promise myself I'm going to make an appointment and nothing will be a rush, it almost always is and I know he has squeezed me in when he was busy. And his still-new digs are lovely, spotless, and well organized. Really I'm not comfortable in most salons but I am in his. Thank you Miguel! Susan T. read more

Long overdue update review: I've been going to Miguel Lopez Salon since 2012 and honestly cannot go anywhere else. I love being able to go see Will and Miguel and not even having to say a word and they know exactly what to do with my hair! Honestly, having your own personal hair stylist has its benefits and Will and Miguel are completely fabulous! I typically go to them for my Keratin treatments but recently I've slowed those down to embrace my curls over the last year. Recently, I went through a hair transformation and colored my hair for the first time in my life and Will made me so comfortable during the process and ended up giving me exactly what I was looking for - and still get regular compliments on my color almost on a weekly basis from people on the street and close friends. They also give great haircuts and touch ups as well. Overall - great place, excellent service and I always have great conversations with them when I sit in the chair. In terms of price, I think they are fairly comparable to other places in the city, but I've actually only used them strictly over the last four years - and honestly for the quality of hair care and service, its worth it. Would highly recommend for anyone wanting a good keratin treatment done or color as well! read more

I have a very curly and frizzy hair. First, I went for consulting and Miguel guaranteed that with keratin treatment, my hair will become frizz-free and smooth and the curls will become looser and will look much better. I took his advise and did the treatment. Right after the treatment, my hair looked great for a week. But after the first wash, it became exactly like before the treatment. No effect at all. This is while he had charged me an extra $60 for special shampoos and conditioners. He told me I should buy that for long-lasting effect. I did use those products and avoided soap and treated my hair with care, but the result didn't even last for two weeks. Now my hair is exactly like before, and has the same amount of frizz. However, this is not the worst part! The worst part is that I contacted Miguel and complained about the result, but he suprisingly denied what he had said before! Quoted from his email: "I am so sad to hear that but I explained to you that day that it is a smoothing treatment not a straightening treatment.  It loosens your curl but does not make your hair straight, soft shiny and frizz free." !!! I don't understand how hair can be "smooth" in his words, but not "soft, shiny, and frizz-free"! Not to mention, his treatment didn't even loosen my curls. Nonetheless, bad results might sometimes be acceptable, but nothing is worse than the fact that he lies! I regret that I trusted him and spent $310 for nothing. Anyway, now he refuses to pay me a refund. But if you want a "soft, shiny, and frizz-free" hair, do not waste your money here, as he admits himself that this treatment is not meant to do that. read more

The best. Miguel took so much time and patience to explain the keratin process, manage my expectations and made me come back. My hair looks and feels great and people have commented on how healthy it looks--I'll take it! I have coarse curly hair that can't stand humidity (at all) and with these treatments I barely have to style my hair after I wash it. All I do is towel dry then throw in some Moroccan Oil (I ran out of Miguel's Keratin elixir I think it's called) and I'm good to go. My hair even stays smooth at the end of a workout and after a long day at the beach. I had a treatment here in early March and then again in early June. So it didn't last as long as some others experience with keratin in general but when it was there it looked fantastic and I honestly could have waited longer between treatments, I think. Their new location in Flatiron is so cute and intimate, although I didn't mind the last location either! They take card (you can tip on card too) and have pretty great hours. Will be back! read more

Will and Miguel are the best. If you are into Keratin, this salon is the holy grail. Will is effective, efficient, and always looking for new ways to improve the experience for his clients. They were among the first salons to get a state of the art ventilation system which not only protects Will and Miguel, but keeps the salon atmosphere pleasant. Will is always learning new techniques and trying new tools to stay on the cutting edge. This may sound trivial, but all those little efforts add up into a superior experience. I will only put Coppola Keratin on my hair, and I had to look all over for a salon that uses it. Miguel Lopez Salon uses a top quality product at a great price. Will really cares about the integrity of his products, his clients, and hair in general. He is also hilarious. Will is always ready for a fun chat, but he is also fine when I decide to close my eyes and enjoy the experience. I live in Boston now, and I travel to New York and will continue to do so for Will. If you are even thinking about Keratin, go see Will and Miguel! read more

After The Haircut From Hell at Fekkai several months ago, which left me with uneven, weird layers and a cut that was much too short overall, I was actually afraid to go anywhere for a haircut. As the ends of my curly hair became more and more ragged and the humidity started to rise, however, I was left with no choice. Through a good deal on Lifebooker, I made an appointment for a haircut and blowout with Will, and couldn't be happier. He listened to what I wanted, stopped several times to check to ensure that I was happy with what I was doing, and gave me styling tips on how to wear my hair curly or straight. I had made my appointment during lunchtime at work, and I was in and out in under an hour. Will was absolutely fantastic--he won my trust right away. In fact, I am going back next week for a Brazilian Keratin Treatment with him! Note: Finding the salon can be a little confusing: You have to look for 458 W Broadway (under the Serenity Salon sign) and press the intercom for second floor. read more

This review is for Keratin. I had mine done in February this year. Miguel is really nice, fun and very easy to talk to. I also bought the keratin deal on Lifebooker but called in advance before purchasing to ask a few questions. Miguel was very nice and answered all of them patiently and honestly. He told me upfront the $150 price is a starting price and long hair (mine is 3/4 down my back) increases the price but it wouldn't go higher than $225 I believe. The last time I did keratin it was $250 so I booked it. He was flexible with my schedule. Miguel operates within this salon, but he has his own booth, does his own booking and payments etc. Actual keratin experience 1. Miguel paints on the keratin, doesn't dilute spray it. 2. He first paints on the keratin and then combs your hair. **For those that are new to keratin, your hair has to be washed thoroughly and stripped clean, so you can't have any conditioner in it. Well that makes hair rough, tangled and very hard to comb, especially if it's long. The first time I had keratin done was so painful because the lady first agonizingly combed my hair.. it took 30 minutes!! My head was in pain, my eyes were tearing. I don't know if that is routine or if Miguel's way is routine, but I was very grateful for his process regardless. 3. The keratin did last (downside, his keratin is the 48 hour one I believe) very long. At least up until June. My hair has grown most of it out now but it still is smoother and flatter when it air dries than it used t be, which is how I know. Also the salon offers you wine and refills, which is always a plus. My total was more than $150 but as mentioned, it wasn't a surprise. Miguel told me how to take care of it and maintain it. All in all, if I ever need keratin again, I would go to him. Note on keratin: Keratin will make your hair silky and much straighter. You can wash it, walk out the shower and it air dries like you blow dried it. However - the side effect of that is that it makes your hair very greasy very quickly. I only get it done when I'm going on long vacations or abroad where don't have time or resources to do my hair constantly. (International voltage convertors can sometimes still fuse your straighteners). But I had to wash my hair every other day, without fail. So in a way, it's a catch 22 - the more you wash it, the faster the keratin fades - but if you don't, your hair will be an oily mess. I would only get it again in the winter or if I have another similar trip. read more

Think twice before going to this salon!!! I had what I thought was a lovely experience with WIll and a keratin treatment until my hair went wavy at the roots WEEKS after the treatment. When I finally called to talk to them about it I didn't get a call back for several days. When I called again I spoke with Miguel who immediately informed me that going back to wavy is normal after such a short period of time. Now, I realize that not all treatments are the same, but I've been getting Keratin treatments for over 5 years and never once have I had this issue after 1 month!! Most treatments last 4 months and often can stretch to 6. However, $200+ is no small change to pay and not have something be right, so we agreed to set up a time for me to come in and have them take a look. When I called back to arrange a time(talked to Will this time) I got yet another song and dance about how it's perfectly normal for hair to go back to wavy after this time period, and how he tells all his clients that this isn't a relaxer, and that he has clients come in every month for the treatment blah blah blah. Uhm...last time I checked if someone is calling you because they aren't happy about something you don't immediately begin by telling them all the reasons why they are wrong. Suffice it to say the conversation did not go well after that and Will told me to "lose his number". Absolutely NO problem with that!! I have no interest in keeping in contact with bad attitude divas who give crappy customer service. So be warned! read more

There's a reason this place gets such high ratings on Yelp. I had never gotten keratin before, and after years of considering Japanese straightening, I decided to go for this less drastic measure. I searched Yelp for "best keratin treatment" and was directed here. Miguel and Will run their salon out of a beautiful space in SoHo. Will assessed my hair, which has been thick and frizzy since puberty, and decided that I did not need a relaxer; keratin would take 90% of the frizz out. I also cut about 6 inches off, so the before and after is pretty drastic. (I submitted a photo, check it out.) Will was really great, talking me through everything. I dyed my grays out, too, and keratin works just fine with colored hair. When I left the salon my hair was stick straight. It had never been that straight before. But after my first wash, the body came back, and for the first time ever I had wavy but not frizzy hair! I can actually see my curls! And when I blow dry my hair, it actually stays straight and doesn't frizz with the weather. I could never have cut my hair shoulder-length without keratin because the frizz would have made it fro, but now I have the hair I always wanted. If you do want your hair stick straight, Will suggests a relaxer and then keratin. But he said since my hair is not thick but fine, there's just a lot of it, keratin would be enough. The price was actually lower than what was advertised on their website, so I was happily surprised. I am going here for all my hair care needs for the rest of my life. read more

I heard of the Keratin treatment and saw many great reviews of Miguel here in Yelp and they are definitely true. I had the Keratin done with Miguel and the result was fabolous!

Came in here for a Brazilian Keratin Treatment the other day and left fantastically happy. I felt a little guilty for bypassing my usual place, Pimps & Pinups (sorry, Marissa, you're awesome but $500 for a BKT? Ummm....) This place was MUCH less expensive (for this service, at least). I paid about $150 plus tips by booking through Lifebooker. My hair looks spectacular, so soft and shiny. Even my boyfriend noticed! My appointment took precisely 90 minutes, as promised. Honestly, I appreciate his speed - who wants to sit there for hours and hours? You impress me more by gettin' it DONE than wasting a lot of time talking. (Don't I sound like a dude? But seriously, it's not that he doesn't talk, because he does - and he's funny - he's just super quick at doing the hair stuff.) He even threw in a bang-trim for me and did exactly what I asked. I'd been meaning to try the Keratin thing after hearing about it for so long, but I had a bad experience with hair falling out from Japanese straightening a while ago, and I was a little nervous. Also I have this expensive sulfate-containing shampoo/conditioner collection, and as embarrassing as this is to admit, I wanted to finish it first so I wouldn't feel guilty buying new sulfate-free stuff. Anyway, I wanted the treatment because my hair is pretty much destroyed from over-processing (was doing the platinum-blonde thing for a while). Now that it's dark again, I wanted to make it look okay so I can grow it out to my natural color. The process has, so far, done a lot better than that. I really hope it lasts!! Great work. Thanks Miguel. read more

I've lived in NYC for 17 years and have been to several other hair stylists here. I have long, thick hair and love having layers in the front & back. For some reason none of my other stylists could get it right. One day I was walking home and I noticed this woman who was walking in front of me, her hair was cut exactly the way I wanted mine to be. So, I stopped her and asked her who cut her hair and she gave me Miguel's info. I went to Miguel and showed him a few photos of what I wanted my hair to look like both in the front and back. The first time and every time I've been to him since, he is able to replicate the haircut exactly! Miguel is the best hairstylist I've been to in NYC! read more

I was waiting to write this review until I would see how the treatment would pan out. I did not have a bad experience at the actual salon. Miguel answered all of my questions, it is a nice salon, and they treat their customers well. I was charged $50 more than the lifebooker price, because of the length of my hair- I should have read the fine print. I got the keratin treatment done about a month and a half ago. From the get go, the second time I washed my hair, I has some curl back in my hair. I called the salon and was assured that it was because the treatment was formaldehyde free, so it should continue to be frizz free, even if it is wavy/curly. I accepted it, and continued my routine of using shampoo free of sulfates, using a keratin infusing cream after I washed my hair, washing it every couple of days, etc. Three weeks after I initially got it done I saw a noticeable amount of frizz in my hair. A month and a half later, my hair feels almost as unruly/frizzy as it does normally. I got the treatment halfway through the summer, and expected it to last at least through the rest of the summer. I understand the treatment doesn't last forever, but then don't claim it lasts 3+ months. If I had known it would only last a little over a month, I would not have paid the $200 I was charged. Overall, I was disappointed with the treatment. read more

I was recommended to Miguel Lopez by a friend to get keratin treatment. I had a great experience during my appointment, but 2 days after when I was able to wash my hair post-treatment, the results were nothing as I expected. My hair had not smoothed or changed whatsoever. It was like I never had anything done to my hair. I called the salon to let them know what happened and they offered to bring me in for a follow up appointment. However, when my work schedule changed and I had to cancel my new appointment 2 days in advance, I received a very rude and offensive voicemail. I was scolded on the phone for cancelling a "popular" appointment time and told that they never told me the keratin would smooth out my curls so they don't know what I was complaining about. However, in my initial appointment I was reassured that this treatment would be "my dream come true" for the summer to straighten out my curls. The rude voicemail left me uninterested in ever communicating with Will or Miguel again, and showed no respect for a customer's happiness or satisfaction after spending several hundred dollars. There was no offer for a refund, just a rude voicemail. read more

I moved to NYC a few months ago and knew there were approximately 43278 salons to choose from for Keratin treatments. I had a bad keratin experience prior, because it didn't last very long. I'm Indian, and have thick wavy hair so I really wanted someone who knew what they were doing since regardless, I'm shelling out a couple hundred bucks. I read good things on Yelp about Miguel Lopez so I gave it a shot on Thanksgiving weekend. My first thought, very inviting studio space and the receptionist was very professional. I appreciated also being offered water/wine (I went with wine .. hey it was a vacation weekend). Miguel was very nice, conversant, and thoughtful. He also gave great advice regarding lengthening the keratin treatment. I'm a runner so he was very matter of fact in saying to avoid sweating/getting my hair wet for 3 days. He did a great job and now almost 6 weeks later my hair blow drys almost straight, I just have to go over it and it is much softer when it is straight than it was when I was doing relaxer treatments in college/grad school. In sum, very satisfied with the place. Miguel knows his business and I feel that I got my money's worth. People always compliment me on my hair now. I'll definitely come back for my hair care needs. read more

Miguel and Will are the absolute best. This is my second time coming to them for Keratin, and I'm leaving just as happy this time around. They are hilarious and so sweet. They are also very professional and true hair experts, and I am very picky when it comes to my hair as it is very difficult to manage! They accommodated me even when they were really busy as I could not wait much longer to have Keratin done. My hair is very long and thick and takes a long time, and even though technically they were "closed", they took their time and made sure to straighten each piece diligently and did not rush out at closing time. It's an adorable spot in a very convenient area, and they have drinks and wine. It's also a peaceful and cozy salon, which is rare to find in the city. Now, the real test will be how it looks post washing, but I have no doubt it will be amazing. I will continue to confidently refer people here. Thank you both so much! read more

I got my keratin treatment a month ago and I am so pleased. I am mixed and after years of coloring and flat irons etc my hair became a super frizzy mix between curly and wavy that was just impossible to style without hair tools. Due to the texture of my hair blow drying it takes at least 40 minutes and even after that its still too frizzy to leave and I end up flat ironing it. After my keratin treatment my blow drying time has been cut in more than half and I don't even have to flat iron it after. It was my first keratin treatment and I was honestly expecting less just based on how everyone is always stressing that its just a smoothing treatment but it is seriously a life changer, I will definitely be coming back for more! Also I have hair down to my lower back and its super thick and the treatment only took about 2 hours which I attribute to the stylists because I've had friends get keratin treatments with less hair and it took much longer. read more

Since a lot of people read only a few lines of review I will start by emphasizing, their Keratin treatment ROCKS and definitely definitely do not think twice--take and appointment and come here!! I myself have had a hard year that left me with little hair to work with, but when Mama and Maha wanted to have a good Keratin treatment done, my trusted fellow Yelpers did not fail me. After looking at many offers online, and reading the yelp reviews, I decided that Miguel Lopez seemed like a safe bet, despite the limited number of reviews. I called on a Sunday morning and Miguel himself answered, and said that he would be happy to come in with Will to do two keratin treatments. With the offer on Yelp of $150 dollars for first time customers in hand, we headed to the city. The salon is on the second floor of 458 West Broadway and you have to ring on the Serenity Salon to gain access if the front door is locked. When we walked in, the space was very large and inviting, matching the warm and welcoming personalities of both Will and Miguel. They were very friendly, and I made tea for myself and Mama as we chatted. They worked quickly and efficiently, and the whole deal from shampoo to flat iron took only 1 hour 45 minutes even on Maha's lovely long locks. Mama told Miguel that she had Keratin in London, but it simply did not work despite her following instructions to the absolute T, and he assured her that the Coppola treatment they used was full strength and she would get results-given she didnt wash her hair for 3 days! We had a great time at the salon, and Will was awesome to chat with and gossip about life with. The proof of purchase, however, came 3 days later, when Mama and Maha had incredibly manageable, shiny, gorgeous, and STRAIGHT hair. Almost 1 month later they still both look fantastic, and they both plan to go back every 3 months like clock work. Definitely highly recommend them. Worth every penny. read more
