Last Sunday was my first visit to G & C Studio, and I'm so glad I finally found Gina!…read more Before making my appointment, I spent times to looking through reviews and photos, hoping to find a hairstylist who could truly understand what hairstyle would suit me. I'm happy to say that I believe I finally found the right stylist! Gina carefully evaluated my hair and recommended a digital perm that would best suit me. She explained that I would need three different levels of curls: a root perm at the top, soft curls in the middle, and medium curls at the bottom. I really appreciated how carefully she considered my hair and the style I wanted. She also pointed out that my hair is quite dry and recommended using K18 hair treatment after the perm to help repair and strengthen my hair. Her professional advice gave me so much confidence, and I had no worries at all. Thank you so much, Gina, for your professional recommendation and for taking the time to understand my hair. I'm very happy that I finally found a hairstylist I can trust!

Everyone in the shop is really skilled and super nice. I always get my hair cut by TJ, he's great and really puts effort into doing his best every time, which I really appreciate. Gina is also awesome, she is a wizard with the scissors, you really can't go wrong here, which is what I love about it, and it's super easy to make a reservation.

I normally go to Manhattan or Brookkyn for my silk press, simply because I am a loyal customer to…read morethose salons. But the trip to get to Midtown or Brooklyn is grueling. I found Love Lane when searching for a closer alternative. Downtown is 3 miles away and the walk is very pleasant; it is a treat by itself. Add to that, the pleasant environment of the salon and the cute area it is situated. Plus, they did a very good job in taming my unruly curls into a sleek undamaged mane. They offer you drinks. (Not booze), but nice iced sparkling flavored water. It grounds you into a zen sate of mind. The perm straightening does not smell of chemicals. You don't get burning eyes during the process. The perm looks better and better as the days go on. Not sure what brand they are using. I remember when the keratin perm first began, the stink of the ammonia and the fumes would burn nostrils and eyes. Love lane has become my regular spot. I must be a very boring customer for them, because I only go there for the silk press and regular trims to the ends. Nonetheless the treat me well.

I came in very excited for my appointment and was expecting a full highlight/balayage…read moretransformation. Before booking, I sent photos of my current hair, a previous photo showing my balayage, and inspiration photos from Alysa's own page showing the dimensional, blended color I liked. I also spoke with someone at the salon beforehand and made sure my information was passed along to Alysa. I explained that I wanted to keep my hair on the lighter side since my current balayage was already more blonde. I was looking for warm caramel/honey tones, brighter face-framing pieces, soft ribbon highlights, dimension, and a natural blended finish. During my appointment, Alysa asked what I wanted, and I specifically told her in person that I wanted the color brought closer to the root with a blended transition. Unfortunately, the final result did not match the vision we discussed or the inspiration I provided. The back and crown area remained very dark, and the result felt more like a shadow root and refresh of my previous color rather than the full highlight transformation I was expecting. It appears that the new growth was mainly shadowed and the existing lighter pieces were re-lightened instead of creating the brighter, dimensional look I requested. The color also turned out more brassy than I expected. I felt the toning process was rushed. It seemed like the toner was applied and rinsed out very quickly rather than being left on long enough to properly neutralize the brassiness and achieve the softer tone I was looking for. I was also disappointed with the finishing of my hair. After a color service at this price point, I expected a polished salon finish, but my hair was left puffy, rough, and not styled the way I expected. It felt like there was still product left in my hair, and I had to go home and fix it myself. The blowout fee was an additional $80, which made this even more disappointing. My previous stylist was very detail-oriented and always took her time. Even though she relocated far away, I always left her salon feeling confident, with my hair fully styled, soft, and beautiful. I have never left a salon feeling like the stylist was rushing through the service. I also did not appreciate the way Alysa discussed my hair being "not prepped" while speaking with another stylist in front of me. I was never sent preparation instructions or an email explaining that my hair needed to be prepped in a specific way before my appointment. I have never heard of needing my hair "prepped" in that way, especially since many salons actually recommend coming in with hair that has not been freshly washed before a color service. If there were concerns, I would have appreciated being informed directly and professionally rather than hearing the conversation while it was being discussed with another stylist. I also feel I was overcharged for the service I received. I paid for what I understood to be a full highlight, but the final result appears more like a partial highlight with a shadow root and a refresh of my existing color. The outcome did not reflect the level of service or transformation I expected for the price I paid. The most disappointing part is that after spending this much money, my friends and coworkers did not even notice that I had my hair done because the overall appearance looked so similar to my previous color. I was expecting a noticeable, brighter transformation, and instead I left feeling like the change was minimal and not worth the time, cost, or effort. The service was $560, and I still left a $125 tip because I appreciated the stylist's time and effort. However, I was disappointed because the final result did not match what I requested. I now have to find another salon to correct the color because my crown area is still mostly dark, which is not what I wanted. Overall, this experience felt like a waste of time and money. I paid the same price at other salons and left with hair that was beautiful, soft, fully styled, and exactly what I asked for. Unfortunately, I would not return or recommend this salon. I would advise others to be cautious and think twice before booking, especially if you are looking for a detailed color transformation and a stylist who truly takes the time to understand your vision. A stylist who takes pride in their work should not let a client leave feeling like they received a partially completed service after paying for a premium color service and blowout.

My second time getting a haircut & style by Nguyet, the first time being 12 years ago while…read morevisiting family in Jersey City. Now that I've moved back to my hometown, I needed to find a new hairstylist. I tried a couple of other places but didn't feel the most confident coming out of the salons. Then I remembered coming here prior, urged by an old friend who raved about this salon to me. She said I'll feel like a Rockstar coming out of there. So I made an appointment two weeks ago and am loving how the cut is growing in! This is now my go-to studio!

I finally found my stylist! I've been going to Cindy regularly for almost two years, and she has…read morebeen consistently awesome. I've had a long struggle with finding stylists who will listen, and faced quite an extensive past of stylists who just cut off waaaay too much hair. Cindy always checks in about the length, and took the time to understand my fears. She also has a great understanding of what looks good on her clients, and has a wonderul sense of humor to boot! Parking is a little harder to find, but perusing the residential area you'll definitely find a spot. Be sure to call ahead as well~

My friend highly recommended this place so I figured I would come in for toner since my last…read morebalayage had grown out and I wanted to make my roots less apparent. The people in the salon were nice and I came in with an idea of what I wanted for color. Leo explained the color wheel and how they were going to blend the demarcation line and tone my roots. It must've been a busy day because they ran out of hot water for washing hair. When it came time to apply the color I feel like Leo was very hands off as another stylist applied the color under his instruction. I saw a lot of old balayages with toner that blended beautifully with a nice gradient on Leo's IG but I feel like I didn't necessarily get that same treatment. As I sat in the chair two other customers came in and I feel like his focus was on the other two girls so much so that he asked me if it was okay that he doesn't style my hair and stated "but you won't leave the salon with wet hair" I was very surprised but they at least blew dry my hair after rinsing the color out. $200ish with tip and a month and half later the state of my hair is as pictured even after following strict instructions to use color safe shampoo and washing infrequently with no heat tools. Overall a disappointing experience for me.

Duneisy was amazing! i love how she did my hair! The first time she did my hair she realized i…read moredidn't love the hair extensions the first time, so she offered a free removal and on top of that drove 3 hours to get the extensions that matched my hair texture and colored it to my exact hair!

( i usually finish within 5 hours)

I called the morning of and they had openings for a women's hair cut at the time I requested. I…read moredidn't want to do anything fancy, just a trim and clean up and dead ends. 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.

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?"
