Recently moved to NY so I'm looking for a stylist to give me a decent hair cut.. Granted as you all…read morecan see from my picture, I had a tapered cut.. I want some parts to be trimmed and cut..Well, let's just say it was a complete nightmare. I saw ""Sandra" because someone I met recommended her.. I trust it. Here is one of the many bad things that occurred that day.. If you have short super coily hair I'm sure you'll sympathize with me.. He is what irritated me.. She never listened to what I actually wanted.. I asked please don't cut my sides, I'm just looking for a little more shape.. No, she did her own thing.. Which made me more and more anxious.. I asked her to cut my hair wet because my hair has so much elasticity and bounce to it I don't know how you're really cutting.. AGAIN, she just never listened... Haircuts shouldn't be a scary and anxiety filling experience but this stylist doesn't really know how to please her clients but rather prefer to disregard you.. Do yourself a major favor and avoid this headache. Good luck!

Pooja gave me the best haircut of my life! I have long, thick, long, hair and she cut it in a way…read morethat I never thought was possible. Previously I would inevitably tie my hair up by the end of the day but I prefer to leave it down with this cut. I look like a celebrity, from the back of the head anyway!

I couldn't say enough good things about both Pooja and Christie who own, cut and color at this…read moreSalon. I followed both of them from their previous salons and have been a loyal customer now for over 3 years (wow that went fast). From short hair to long hair Pooja has never failed to make me feel like I look my absolute best when leaving. Beyond this, the cut and style is so great it requires zero product and very little maintenance to keep it looking chic. Christie did a balayage for me at the beginning of last summer (photo 1, please note I wanted it very natural). Not only was the original coloring exactly what I wanted. It faded so naturally that I didn't need to get a gloss until almost 9 months later (see second image) Beyond their talent, they are wonderful, kind, hardworking women, that I am proud to have gotten to know as people over these years. If you are looking for a new hair stylist in NYC, I promise you won't be disappointed here.

If I could give 10 stars, I would…read more When I started going to Brianna about 4 years ago, I was initially drawn towards her presence and ethos around clean products and healthy hair. Even though at the time I can't say I knew anything at all about what that would even mean for my hair. What I didn't realize at the time was how incredibly TRANSFOMATIVE Brianna and her touch would be for my hair. As someone who has been highlighting blonde for close to 2 decades, this was the first time my hair has felt....HEALTHY! I have shine and the length that I always dreamed about. She's an expert in all colors but I have to say her touch on blondes is unmatched. I flux between the seasons (darker to lighter) and she nails it every time. She does her care with craft and precision that I have not seen elsewhere. I would love to gatekeep her in case she gets too busy and I can't get in... :P ...but she deserves all the glowing reviews in the world. I guarantee you'll leave happy the first and the fiftieth time.

PART ONE Once, a…read morelong, long time ago, the matriarchy led a society. Women recognized the need for guides -- people who would be willing to live in a liminal space and commune between worlds be they a feeling or state of being. Call it what you want -- a shaman, a witch, a wizard -- these artists were fluent in the language of the seasons, the songs of death, and the presence of spirit. Fast forward thousands of years and now beauty is for sale, health is for the wealthy and medicine is by prescription. The women who run ABL are part of a culture of healers that I believe are long forgotten. They understand that healing is an immersion and that no matter the ailment, the treatment is always the same -- love and listening. But then again love is listening. So really, just love. I came in for a hair consultation. I left having received an exorcism. A little context: I have always had beautiful hair -- thick, long, curly. But then last year while living overseas, I became indoctrinated with another country's beauty standards, subtly at first and then acutely. And so, like any woman living alone and maybe feeling a little insecure, I tried to adapt. Life lesson #426 -- never get a haircut at night in a foreign country when you're feeling down. One bad cut led me to discover the world of hair extensions (don't do it) which led me to a relaxer (really, don't do that) which was much more permanent than any stylist would let on. And so, one year later my hair is nothing like it used to be. And I looked ten years older than I was. And for the first time ever I felt my hair was thin, breaking, and looked awful unless I spent hours styling a natural look. I came into Abl wanting a cut by a master stylist. (Please don't tell me about your nourishing oils and amazing hair treatments, omg I know allll about them. I do them at home. I eat organic. I meditate. This is beyond argon oil.) I needed someone help me figure out what cut would look good. I was ready to chop it all off, if I had to, and start over. But my wonderful stylist, Jeanine could hear me -- I was at my wits end. Short hair wasn't what I wanted but it felt like my only option. Even my speech was knotted. Through her skill, Jeanine could detangle desire from fear and design an experience for me BY ME. I didn't realize there was such a thing as a doula in hair care but here we are. I wish I could give you a step by step of what happened but like any transformation, I've already let go of who I was before I walked into their doors and the steps are insignificant. What I can say is that in the process of receiving a hair treatment, I made huge discoveries about myself and my locks which was made possible through the supportive, loving atmosphere Jeanine and Brianna have created. Yes yes yes, their technical skills are exceptional and the products they use are excellent. But secretly, I wanted more than a good cut. I wanted a miracle.

I got to the salon at 12:26, at 12:29 she texted she was going to be 10 minutes late. I actually ended up waiting an hour and 15 minutes for her, when she called me and said the salon canceled on her because she was running late. After an hour and 15 minutes of waiting she was still nowhere in sight. She said I can come over to her house to do my hair but it would be on another day because she has to buy materials. I told her I was only available for that day and requested my money back, she denied and stated it's non-refundable, nowhere in her site is it noted that the deposit is non-refundable. And the cancellation was not initiated by me. Extremely unprofessional. Save your money and do not book!
