Manhattan talent in upstate NY. I travelled 30 miles for my appointment with Olivia at Bex salon…read moreand it was SO worth it. Best haircut I've had since my Bumble & Bumble cut in NYC. She took such time and care - consultation before wash, thoughtful discussion about the goal, super thorough wash, she took over an hour just to cut my hair - cut wet and after blown dry dry. The salon is such a treasure. Book it!

They took me in as a walk in even though it was super busy and they were all really sweet as wellread more

I followed Nina from the Shelley salon in East Greenbush to her new space at Haven. The new…read morelocation is much better for me. The salon has all of the nice amenities I got used to at Shelley (wine!). I moved to Albany a few years ago and was so happy to find Nina. She has cut and colored my hair a few times and I am always in love with her work. From blond to pink and back to caramel soon, she takes my ideas and makes them work. She is a great listener (about my hair and my life). I'm a very satisfied customer and won't go anywhere else.

Actually ZERO stars. I would not recommend to anyone. The hair dresser simply refused to do what I…read morehave been doing to my hair for 20 years. I go back and forth often from my brown to blonde hair however this young girl was wasting an hour of my time (both appointments) explaining to me why my hair would not go blonde. She would not highlight my hair unless I did it HER WAY which starting cost $310 and I did not want what she suggested, I went there knowing exactly what I wante. I simply went to another salon the next day and got exactly what I was asking for and for exactly what I expected to pay. This first two times i visited this salon my hair color was terrible, they do not know what they are doing and they are very snobby. The vibe is uncomfortable because of the snobby know it all behavio.

DISHONEST AND UNTRUSTWORTHY:…read more The owner was not forthcoming and honest when I spoke with her about coming to her studio. I had told her that I was interested in coming to her studio for a specific brand of hair color, and I also asked if she would wear a mask. Since she agreed to wear a mask, and she offered the hair color I wanted, so I became her client and have seen her three times. She did not follow through on both areas. She emailed all of her clients a few weeks ago and said she was dropping all of her products and was going with a one product instead. She did not explain why or what was in the product, etc. I figured I'd give it a try since my hair appointment was in a few weeks, and she was very particular about the products she used. I had my appointment scheduled for today. She emailed me a couple of days ago to make sure I had received her email about changing products. I told her I was still planning on coming and would like to hear more about the product, why she chose it, etc. when I came to see her to have my hair done. She then proceeded to provide reasons why she chose to change, which included that she had started to transition prior to the pandemic and waited because of the ammonia in the product and masking (she said it's problematic with the ammonia). She had not said anything about this previously. She had not said anything about mask issues prior to this, or that the new product contained ammonia. Again, this is TWO days before my appointment. When I said that I'd be wearing a mask and would like her to, she said she wasn't going to. She left it up to me about whether or not I wanted to continue with her. I replied that I found a solution that would work (she did not have to do anything or wear a mask). She then informed me this morning (hours before my appointment) that she couldn't accomodate my needs, etc. There were no negative exchanges between us, but she decided that it wouldn't work. I find her behavior to be dishonest and disconcerting. When she took me on as a client, she knew she was going to transition out of my hair color and not wear masks, but did not tell me. She also said she would wear a mask but reneged on that promise. She waited to the last minute to essentially communicate HER concerns about me coming with her new use of the product. I was flexible to accomodate my needs with these new changes; she was not. I have my birthday next week and planned concerts to attend, etc.. She left me hanging in a BIG way. Her treatment of me was very unprofessional. Warning: she is not trustworthy and is unprofessional in handling important issues. I recommend going somehere else.
