    Obsessed with this salon and Konnor. Waking into the salon, you know you're in for an experience. You are greeted immediately with a kind receptionist and able to make yourself right at home. The space is close to Chelsea market, modern and clean. I have done extensions, tape, color and highlights with Konnor and have each time been wowed. He is not only very detailed, but will listen to your exact wants. I will seriously not go to anyone else in NYC anymore. Konnor is amazing!!

    This review is for EMMI Followed her here from her last salon and will follow her for as long as I have hairs. She's the only human I will let color or cut my hair. She's incredible and always makes me look/feel like $$$$$$$$$. She's always down for experimenting and trying new things and no matter what she makes my vision come to life. She's also the kindest and funniest so an appt w her is super fun and relaxing. If you're unsure and looking for a new hair person, girrrlllll SHE IS IT. I stan. The salon itself is also very freaking cute and instagrammy - i kno that matters to some people aka me

    Cut and Color by Manny
    June W.

    Short version: I love My Darling Ivy and highly recommend it to anyone who loves themselves and their hair. So much so that I have not found anyone else to touch my hair even though I now live in Singapore. The first thing I did when I came to NYC was to make an appointment to have my hair done by Manny (one of the owners). More details: I have entrusted Manny with making my hair dreams come true for a couple of years now and I absolutely trust and adore him, his work ethic, and his team. From getting cuts, to a full head of hot pinks/purples, to highlights that grow out looking as fresh as they looked when I walked out of the salon, my experiences with Manny and his team have always been 100% positive. I'm one of those people who has a faint idea of what I want, but need a Creative partner who can take that seed and grow it into clear ways on how to take it to the next level. Manny is that person. He is intuitive, gentle (don't let his looks fool you!), a good listener, super creative, multi-talented, and humble. Yup, you guessed it - he's a unicorn. The first time I had a consultation with him, I mentioned that I wanted to change my hair color to something that suits my personality. In just a few mins, he got my vibe and suggested something I was thinking about but hadn't mentioned (hot pink - which my previous hairstylist from another salon told me that it was not possible to achieve with my hair). Not only did he recommend it, Manny achieved it beyond what I expected. He gave the color more dimension by adding some purples to the pink. I would've never thought of that on my own - but that's what I mean by Manny being a wonderful creative partner who not only reads your vibe, but makes hair dreams come true beyond one's imagination. Manny also gives back - he and his team support WISE, an Organization for women in self-employment, working mainly with low income self-employed women and girls. He also makes time to teach in Ethiopia to support local communities, and is in the process of setting up a School of Cosmetology in Uganda. Manny and his team have created a gorgeous salon - minimal, yet warm and comfortable. Nothing pretentious or intimidating - just think of going to your friend's studio that's stylish. Drinks, snacks, gorgeous bathroom with luxurious Oribe hand products, free wifi (love the password - go and you'll know), good vibes all around - it's a pretty special place to spend time in while you get taken care of by awesome humans who take pride in what they do.

    Cut & Color by EMMI

    Emmi has been doing my hair for 4 years now. She has taken me from brown to platinum to neon pink & almost every color in-between without sacrificing the health of my hair. Both her and Darling Ivy are the best at making sure their customers are comfortable, especially throughout Covid! Check her out for a cut, color, or blow out & you won't be disappointed!!

    Emmi is literally the best. I've seen her every other month for four years now, she always takes amazing care of my hair, and I love chilling and chatting with her. She's kept my hair healthy every time when I come in to update my bleached hair. She and everyone at My Darling Ivy is on the ball with being Covid-safe.

    Hair color!

    I had the pleasure of coming to the beautiful My Darling Ivy salon to work with Danielle. The salon is bright, clean, open, and beautifully decorated in a minimalist/industrial theme with touches of earthy plants and custom art. The employees all wore masks and the stylists go a step above also wearing a face guard. Danielle was an amazing stylist and I highly recommend working with her. I came in with a totally uneven botched bleach bang and she evened it out beautifully while maintaining the integrity of my hair. She really went above and beyond my expectations with her patience and dedication to my hair. On top of a staff full of kind and friendly staff, there's nowhere better to get your hair done in Manhattan!

    My hair a day after my service with Juan. Color, cut, and extensions.

    There isn't another place in the world I would let touch my hair! Juan is the dream hair stylist. He is personal, kind, and always captures exactly what I want - even when I'm not sure of what that is. He is always conscious of what will look best on me, which is something I truly value. I have a very precise haircut and color, which he always manages to make look IMMACULATE. His attention to detail is truly unmatched - the blending of my real hair into my extensions is a testament of that skill. On top of that, the team at My Darling Ivy are clearly like family, as they all share the same care and kindness with you. From the minute you walk in to the minute you leave, you really are experiencing the best quality and care NYC has to offer you and your hair.

    My dream hair!

    Dani Waterman is a true artist! Not only is she kind and professional but able to make my long plain hair into my dream hair! Seriously I don't know how she does it but she took pinks and purples and made me look like I was born with it. And the most important is that my long fine hair still feels and looks healthy! The salon is clean ans bright and everyone is so friendly! Always can't wait for my next appointment. Remember people, hair is the accessory you wear every day so make it one you LOVE.

    Just had the most amazing experience at My Darling Ivy with Christie refreshing my color. She took my dull, dry hair and added dimension and shine. She even stayed past close to give me a cute blowout. I am so happy with my hair and how I was treated by everyone at the salon. I will definitely be going back!! 14/10

    My gorgeous haircut!

    I low-key wish I wasn't going for a more natural vibe, so that I'd have an excuse to see Emmi more often.

    I had my hair done by Masaki and was extremely disappointed with both the result and the way my…read moreconcerns were handled afterward. I paid $480 for my appointment and left with hair that looked patchy and not like what we had discussed. While disappointing results can sometimes happen, what bothered me most was the complete lack of communication afterward. I reached out to Masaki on May 13 regarding my concerns and attempted to resolve the issue privately. I never received a response. It has now been about a month, and despite giving plenty of time for a reply, I have been ignored. I did not immediately leave reviews or make public comments because I wanted to give him the opportunity to address the situation directly. Unfortunately, that opportunity was never taken. For $480, I expected a higher standard of work and customer service. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend Masaki.

    Updating my review: I used to come here because the haircuts were strong, but over time the…read moreexperience deteriorated significantly. Appointments became rushed, started late, and lacked even basic professionalism. You're barely greeted when you walk in, and the overall tone makes it feel like you're inconveniencing them just by being there. I told them multiple times I had a head injury from a concussion and the lack of care was very concerning how abrasively they washed and handled my head. My most recent appointment was a complete failure. I asked for a warm, golden brown and came prepared with multiple reference photos. While the color was processing, I clearly flagged that it was pulling purple. That concern was dismissed, and the product was left on longer. The result was the darkest my hair has ever been, almost black with a cool, purple hue. The exact opposite of what I requested. The color job is all mismatched, the lower part of my hair significantly darker, the roots are sloppy and uneven. When I pointed this out, the response was defensive and dismissive. At one point, I was sarcastically asked if I wanted to "bleach it," which is an inappropriate and careless suggestion for already fine hair. It was mind blowing to have this handled so poorly and then be rushed through a cut that does not look anywhere close to the quality of the past cuts. I followed up requesting a refund, given that this will take months to correct and fade, and received no response for over 48 hours. It's not even about the money - it's about the severe lack of respect. What's most surprising is that this level of defensiveness and lack of accountability was unacceptable, especially after such a grave mistake. Instead of thoughtful adjustment and ownership, the response was dismissive in the moment and silent afterward. Mistakes happen. How they're handled is what defines a business. This was not handled well. NYC has no shortage of salons that can deliver both technical skill and professionalism. This is not one of them. Updating this with a pic and additional NYC HAIR SALON SEO terms so future customers are warned since the salon has decided to block me after no satisfactory resolution. The pic at the top right was me pre-hair f*** up. Only come to this salon if you'd like to come home and cry.

    Kelvin is my now my go-to stylist after my friend recommended me to him. She's also been going to…read morehim for awhile and after my first haircut with him, I can genuinely say it was one of the best haircuts Ive ever had - it was exactly what I wanted and I walked away feeling so happy with the results. I went back recently to bleach my hair and I was so shocked by how good it came out - and in only 4-5 hours! He's definitely a professional and knows what he's doing especially when it comes to dying/bleach/toning and cutting short Asian hair to fit my face shape. I rarely need to tell him to fix or that I'm not satisfied with my hair; I trust his process and he's never failed me.

    I used to love this place but this will be my last visit. Both the front desk and stylist were cold…read moreand unfriendly. I asked for ash brown (which I usually get) but I got a way lighter color than expected and the bleach (he went over the bleach twice) really damaged my hair. On top of that, they charged me for a haircut I never asked for. During the balayage, the stylist cut/thinned (no idea what he did because he never asked me) some of my hair (maybe 10 "snips"?) and they later charged me an additional $70 for the "haircut." This really pissed me off because in the middle of my appointment, I even heard an assistant ask in Mandarin "is she getting a haircut?" and the stylist shook his head. I was really unhappy with my hair that I went to get a hair treatment (for the dry, damaged hair) and toner at a different salon a week later. That stylist even asked "who did your hair?"

My hairdresser was wonderful. Great shampooing job and she was very precise and careful when cutting. Also good at communicating and making sure I was happy with the cut. My haircut was $65, but be warned: if you do the "haircut and blow dry" it's $130. To be honest I don't even know what that means because she dried my hair... with a blow dryer... I guess she didn't style it? But anyways, if you're just looking for a basic cut make sure to communicate that so you don't accidentally double the cost of your haircut. The interior was super clean and everyone there was very friendly. The woman working the front offered me water, tea, or coffee when I arrived and hung my coat in the back.
