    TLDR: do NOT book with Daniela. Book with Moe. This was my second visit here and I am truly disappointed by my experience. I got an absolutely horrendous cut by Daniela. I only booked with her because I saw another review that said she was great. That is very much not what I observed. Firstly, she was extremely unfriendly. When I sat down in the chair she barely acknowledged me. Secondly and more importantly, the haircut I received looked nothing like the photo I showed her. It was choppy and very uneven. When I mentioned it, she then gaslit me saying that my hair texture (I have straight smooth hair) isn't suited for what I wanted (face framing layers) and that the cut she gave me was correct... The cuts are obviously different - the reference has longer, softer layers and mine are significantly shorter and choppier. Daniela refused to acknowledge her mistake or take accountability. And the entire staff made ME question my own perception of reality instead of owning up to the error. Please take a look at the photos. You can see what I wanted versus what I got. Keep in mind these photos were taken AFTER another stylist Moe helped to salvage what he could when he saw the situation. Before he helped me my hair looked 10x worse. I wish I took a photo. These photos were taken immediately when I got home, less than one hour of leaving the salon. Another note: Daniela also kept continuously and forcefully brushing my hair and would hit/scratch my ear every time she brushed down. I left the salon with a terrible haircut and a hurt, red ear. Update: the manager Drew reached out and was very helpful. He offered for me to come back in so they could fix my hair, or apply a credit to my account for next time. If you come here please book with Moe, stay away from Daniela.

    Is there a stylist willing to go to NYU Rusk rehabilitation facility on East 17th St. to cut and style the hair of a patient? She has long hair but needs it cut after experiencing a stroke that has left her completely paralyzed.

    I’m so sorry, but we do not provide off site services.

    Do you guys do color work on hair that has previously been box dyed?

    We do, but this would be considered a color correction, and would require a consultation first.

    Can I use the student discount during happy hour and get 40% total discount?

    No. Discounts cannot be combined.

    Do you have ammonia and PPE free dye?

    Our semi permanent color is ammonia free. We use Wella color.

    Can you use the $40 for $20 yelp deal, with your student/teacher ID 10% discount?

    Sorry, no deals can be combined.

    I was just there Sunday and got my hair colored, wondering what shampoo/conditioner was used?

    We use all Oribe products.

    Do you guys help donate hair to cancer? if so, Do you guys give discounts to the people who wants to donate their hair?

    Hello. We are happy to bag the hair for you, but that would be our only involvement. Take a look at our promotions page on our site for ways to save! We hope to see you soon!

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.

This was their "best advice for me" and that I should come back and get both together. I only needed a haircut and this was the only chance I got (I am a SAHM with 2 kids and minimal backup except this day) so I said I would consider it but I need a cut now. It was 6 months since my last. That must have just not been the right thing to say bc I was judged, insulted during the entire session and I got the worst haircut of my life. I can't even get it fixed because it is so much shorter than I wanted. There are huge "texture" discrepancies all over my hair, the most obvious being in the back near my neck. There's also a strand of hair far longer than the entire length of my bob cut. I don't even understand how this happened. I'm so traumatized. I would never recommend this place and will never ever come back. I really had 1 chance to get a cut as a treat to myself, since I really don't have extra time to spare. And now I have to live with this until it grows out, definitely more than 6 more months. If I could give -1000 stars, I would. Please do yourself a favor and find a salon that can do a nice cut for long AND SHORT hair. WITHOUT A PERM TO MAKE IT ALL STRAIGHT FIRST. The skill level here is just so sub par. I could have done it myself.

I haven't cut my hair in 6 months and I have really long straight natural hair so you can say it is a blank canvas. This is probably one of the worst haircut I have gotten in years compared to other places that are in different price ranges. Leaving the salon it looked good styled but when I went home to wash it and had more time to look without it curled I saw really choppy layers and the length is much shorter than i wanted. For a cut I paid $107-110 not including tips and expected a decent cut for that amount. Truly disappointing as holidays are coming up and I have been wearing a hat to cover up, cannot wait for this to grow out but will take months. Ara was really sweet and nice but I don't think the skills were there.

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 would only have time for a crown highlight (not even a partial) and a toner. I was expecting to receive the service that I booked. It is not my fault that the receptionist didn't book the right amount of time and that she was running late. Even with "not having enough time" the appointment lasted 3 hours and I left with the intention to have to go to another salon to get a full highlight done. My advice, save your time and money and go somewhere else.

I'll give them an A for effort though although it looked nothing like the picture. The massage was amazing. She did a really great job. Most of my massages are pretty rough but she did a great job with light to medium pressure. I really liked the glass of champagne and the chocolate truffles. The private soak was nice but I really enjoyed the sauna. It was definitely a great experience. Came out feeling revitalized. My boyfriend really enjoyed the massage and the amenities.
