TL;DR: Avoid. The color will come off immediately and ruin your bedding, clothes, and anything it…read morecomes in contact with before you wash your hair. After you wash your hair, most or of it will come off. Simona is rude and very unfriendly, without an inch of compassion and no manners to speak of. Beware: will not say sorry or show compassion. I want to emphasize that Simone only did my roots, so the orange blood bath you see in the tub and on the towel - it's ONLY from the roots, a small amount of color. See my photos. FULL STORY: I came to see Simona to do my roots. We have just moved to the neighborhood, so I was excited to try a small business a few minutes walk from our home. The place turned out to be a bit of a hole in the wall, actually. But who cares if the stylist is good? Especially because I do something pretty simple - color my roots every 3 weeks. I thought I would be a regular customer. Simone turned out to be not a talkative type, no "bedside manner" to speak of, but she did what I thought was an acceptable job in a very short amount of time. I was actually pretty excited about the speed, as I'm a very busy professional. There was one snag that after the wash my hair was extremely tangled, I have thin long hair, it was tangled in a knot - it happens sometimes at home, but never at salons where they use nice conditioners (Simona used cheap Bedhead stuff). Otherwise, everything looked proper. The nightmare started the next morning. I woke up to find bleeding red color all over my white bedding. I know that red sometimes bleeds when you first wash your hair, but for a color to stain the pillows like this the FIRST NIGHT? To make the matters worse, i just purchased a new set of very nice white sheets, $180 for set (I've been waiting for a while until they go on sale and finally took the plunge). So you can understand why, when I saw red smudged all over my brand new pristine white pillowcases, I was upset. I have two pillows on my side of the bed, one to prop myself in bed when reading, one I sleep on - both had red dye all over them. I took pictures and texted them to Simone, not really asking for anything, just stating the fact and how upset I was. I expected she would be at least apologetic, which she was not in the least, insisting it was "normal." At some point, I started getting irritated, as I have been dying my hair the same shade of auburn for 20 years (I am 41 now), and it only happened to me once (at a mediocre mall salon in Virginia, which, to its credit, immediately issued a refund, no questions asked). To clarify: I die my hair natural looking auburn, nothing like crazy Manic Panic-type bright reds. Red does SOMETIMES bleed a bit at first wash, but NOT during the first night, when I just got back from the salon. I explained to Simone how upset I was about my sheets. You would expect some compassion or a "sorry" - but she behaved in a completely detached and rude way. I expected her to offer SOMETHING to make it right for me - if not a refund, perhaps come back to the salon to check it out, reimburse me for the dry cleaning of expensive sheets. But she was curt, rude, never apologized, and showed no compassion or regret at all. It was clear that she got her money and that's all she was interested in. I could hardly believe it. Finally, I asked her if she was going to do ANYTHING at all to make it right to me, and she just basically didn't give a damn, saying there is nothing she could do for me. Some way to treat a customer who was ready to drop $120+ every 3 weeks!! I was really disturbed by how dishonest and sneaky she was - insistence bordering on gaslighting that it's "normal," whereas we even discussed at the salon - I told her about my one bad experience at that mall salon - and she said it was terrible and definitely not OK. We talked about how red could bleed after first wash a little bit - of course, I know this better than anyone, as I've been doing this for so long. But the color should not come off immediately when I get home, at first sleep! Fastforward a few days, when I actually wash my hair - the bathtub and the towel was bloody red. Again, this was from a small amount of color (roots only), I was lucky I didn't color my entire head or it would looked a lot bloodier. Prices: equal and even more expensive (!) than more upscale salons in the neighborhood, such as Dominik Mager (depending who you use there). Which is puzzling, as Simon's salon is mostly empty - most if not all time slots were available on the same day and then the next day, when I cancelled because of the rainstorm last week. If it wasn't for the ad she constantly runs on Groupon, my hunch it would be totally empty. I found Simone based on 6 good reviews, but based on my experience and rereading the reviews, it now seems to me that at least some of them clearly sound commissioned - experienced Yelpers will see through that.

My favorite salon closed, and I've been looking for a quality, well-priced place to get my haircut…read moreever since. I found Simona on Groupon, and I went yesterday to get my hair cut and styled, and to see if she might be my new go-to hairdresser. Simona listened to my thoughts about how I wanted my hair cut. She made sure she knew what I wanted before she started, and she checked in with me partway through the cut to ensure that the length was what I wanted. My hair was washed, cut, and styled in a mere 35 minutes, which may lead you to believe that she did a poor, hasty job on my hair. On the contrary, she did a wonderful job! Simona cut my hair exactly as I wanted her to. In fact, she made it look better than I thought it could look. Simona does come across as all business and little warmth at first. However, Simona knows her stuff, does not waste your time with the typical excessive salon chit chat, is very responsive with email and phone communication, and she cares deeply about getting your haircut right. In short, I think I've found my new hairdresser! I'm thrilled with my cut, and I'll see Simona again in a few months!

I rarely write bad review when I am unhappy with a service, as long as attempts to make amends are…read moremade. However, I chose to write this due to Carlos' complete and total lack of compassion or willingness to apologize for how devastated I am. First off, it is clear that Carlos is good at cutting curly hair, but he is TERRIBLE at listening to or taking feedback from his customers. If you don't know what you want, or you don't already know how to deal with your curls Carlos might be the guy for you. But if you have something specific in mind I suggest going to someone who will care to make sure you are happy (and spend more than ten seconds looking at the pictures you bring). I specifically asked him to look at previous pictures of my hair, and examples of what I wanted, so that I could get back to the shape I had earlier before an unfortunate haircut in January (was totally doable, and very simple). Rather than taking the time to look, he glanced at the picture and told me to 'move on from my old hair' and work with what we have, and dismissd the pictures of the '90210' girl (his words, not mine) that I was showing him as an example of SHAPE not STYLE. He seems more interested in telling you what you're doing "wrong" and teaching you how to style your hair the "right" way, than actually delivering the shape you ask for. He styled me with clips, which i would never do, as i really dislike that look and left me under the dryer. When I left i couldn't see the shape due to the massive amounts of gel and the weird height at the roots. I came back a couple hours later after it "settled" and it was clear that I did not get what I asked for. I asked for a nice, subtle angle and I ended up with square top and a rattail hanging in the back, sadly all that is left of my length. Once hair is cut there's no going back, but a simple "I'm sorry" is more than sufficient to make amends when a customer is in tears, there's absolutely no need for rudeness or egoism. He offered to cut more to achieve the shape I asked for, which is the last thing in the world I need to grow my hair out. He then became angry (took a moment to take deep breaths to calm himself) as I fought back tears of anger and humiliation. I wish I was not so naive to believe that paying 140 dollars for a haircut would mean that my stylist would care more about my feelings than his ego, in fact it was the opposite. Really sad and disappointed, mostly about the rude reaction to my tears. I'm sure once I get over it I'll be more upset about the haircut that will be with me for a good long while. For reference: I have been a curly girl since 2011, have gotten some great curly haircuts (and some really bad ones) so I'm definitely not a newbie to the dry cut game. Carlos knows how to cut curly hair, but that's not of much use if you end up with a mullet of perfect curls. ​ .

I've been fully natural for ~4 months after transitioning for 2 years. I'd been desperate to try…read moresomething new with my hair but was nervous about potential heat damage & trying a stylist I'd never been to before. Carline was absolutely AMAZING! She was very thorough in explaining the process, doing a consultation of my natural hair and selecting quality products that were the best for my hair type! She recommended I get a trim and although I ultimately decided not to, I liked that she wasn't pushy with her recommendations/trying to sell me on things. My silk press came out SO WELL - my hair was so shiny, soft and I received so many compliments!!!! It lasted a full two weeks before I washed it and my curls immediately came back to life with ZERO heat damage. Can't wait to visit Carline again! HIGHLY recommended for first time silk press!

I am not a person who takes time it to write reviews but I do use other people reviews as a point…read moreof reference and value the experiences of those that do. I booked Carline based on her five 5-star Yelp reviews. I had high hopes for my silk press experience. I had a trim 4 weeks prior to seeing Carline (attached is a photo of my hair 4 weeks ago) and despite taking out cornrows on Sunday, I thoroughly detangled and prepped my hair for the process. Here are my issues with the service in no particular order: 1. Carline performed my first two shampoos which were DIVINE! She curtly told me after the 2nd shampoo "Monique will take it from here." Ummmm, who is Monique? Oh, she's the assistant who I thought was just a kid hanging out in the salon after school. Herein lies problem #2. 2. Monique's shampoo technique was the worst experience I've ever had. She literally banged my head against the shampoo bowl, not intentionally I'm sure...she's just ROUGH! She did ask "Are you tender headed?", to which I replied "yes," thinking it would soften her touch...NOPE! In an attempt to make conversation, Monique told me that in her experience with observing Carline, she does great work with natural clients. I asked how long she had been an assistant and she said "well to be honest today is my first day." WHATTTTT?! You had a newbie assistant work on a first time client?! No bueno...and what about this wealth of experience she had observing Carline's work? All 5 hours of it?! 3. I lost tons of hair in the detangling process. There were moments I had to bite my lip to refrain from screaming. FINGER DETANGLE GENIUSES! It works! 4. Here's what really took the cake; no it wasn't the horrified, "omg I actually have to work on a client with long, thick hair" look that was plastered on Carline's face the entire time, it was the fact that she used a $2 paddle brush to blow my hair out without properly detangling. She was smug about my reservations with the brush. I told her that my regular stylist (who is taking a brief hiatus), always uses a blow dryer with comb attachment as this works best for MY hair. She told me that this wasn't her technique or preference. Meanwhile, the other stylists around her were using comb attachments. Then she had the nerve to ask "Is your hair always this tangled?!" No it's not. In fact, she created the tangles with her lackluster approach to detangling my hair. It took her about 5 minutes to realize it needed to be detangled in sections; I have a lot of hair and she was combing from TOP TO BOTTOM. If I had any qualms about returning to Carline, I might as well say goodbye to my locks now. If you are a natural client in search of a stylist, sure, book Carline. She can style hair. But she doesn't know the first thing about proper hair care.

Finally, she is downright hilarious and I always love the conversations we find ourselves in.

I was in dire need of a haircut and sick of sticking to the same old look so I found Katherine's ad, scheduled an appointment, and arrived at 5PM on a Tuesday. While the actual haircut did not begin until almost 5:30PM due to scheduling (Katherine is a student and was waiting for her class to begin) it was well worth the wait. After a quick consultation, Arsen himself (was not expecting to see him!) stopped by the station to speak with me and be sure I wanted the cut Katherine and I had discussed. 3 hours later my haircut was complete. This was longer than usual since Arsen checked her work every step of the way and taught different techniques throughout. I actually learned a thing or two about cutting hair myself during the process! The salon is massive and takes up pretty much the entire 15th floor. Tons of sinks, a couple of manicure stations, walls of styling stations. Two locker rooms in the back where you can change and also hang your coat. Front desk was amazing and so personable. While the prices are expensive (it's NYC but still expensive) the quality of service you receive here makes it absolutely worth it. I will definitely be back.
