I'm watching The View and they just paid tribute to Marque, a stylist they knew well, who unfortunately passes from COVID-19. He was a beautiful soul and will be missed. read more

Styles Beauty Lounge - Haircut - Hair Extensions Near Me - New York, New York

I have been to Styles twice. I followed my stylist Gabi here - she did two weaves for me that were spectacular. I am actually going back in a few weeks so she can take the weave out and give me a trim and some color for the fall. The assistants are always friendly and helpful. They take their time when the wash your hair - and I mean take their TIME. You get a scalp massage and your hair is CLEAN and conditioned by the time they are done. The atmosphere in the salon is fun too - music is playing...people are stopping by. As far as I'm concerned, the customer service is always on point and the experience is great. I travel UP from DC to come here so that's saying something :-) read more

I felt compelled to write this because If i had listened to the people below I would have passed up a great hair experience! I had been following Gabby (one of the stylists) on instagram and loved her work. A friend of mine who happens to work with her outside of the salon on shoots, raved about her natural hair blow out and cut so I figured I had to see for myself. I was hesitant to go to Styles at first because the reviews below crucified them. But I took a chance and boy was I happy I did. The salon is located on the second floor and is easy to miss. when I walked in I was expecting all types of ratchetness to be happening inside based on the reviews but I was warmly welcomed and promptly given a client gown. I only waited a few minutes before Gabby came over to greet me and did a consult regarding my color and what would work best for my hair type etc. Then she got straight to work. I was dyeing my hair with the cheap store brand boxes and pretty much turned my hair orange after a while. Gabby worked her magic, corrected my color and gave me a nice golden blonde hue plus a trim that had my hair super flowy. + we were chatting it up like we were old pals by the time I left! Overall I had no issues during my appointment. Everyone was friendly, good music was playing, cute guys were coming in/out (they have barbers too), "celebrity" clients were waiting to get their hair done, and I had some great conversations with the stylists there. They do have water and were not yelling at folks for eating a snack if they needed. It was like many other black salons in NY. If you want wine and cheese with your trim.. best not come here. But if you want to look great and not pay an arm and a leg definitely go to Styles. I will most definitely be back. Loved the results. This was a classic case of go with your gut and not base your decision solely on yelp reviews. read more

As much as I want to give this establishment 5 stars because the customer service was great, I can't based on how my hair looks after it all. I am a natural, curly-haired Black woman who wanted a silk press for a corporate holiday party. I originally booked at an entirely different salon through an app (which will go unnamed), but because they were booked, I was recommended to a stylist named Marque. I was reassured that he was a natural hair stylist and knew how to silk press natural hair, and upon arrival he event stated time and time again that pressing natural hair was "his specialty." The entire process started off great, I was offered champagne, asked to hang up my jacket and head to the wash bowl. That's where it went downhill. He did not comb my hair before placing it under water and starting to wash it, which if you're natural, you know that's grounds for automatic and unnecessary tangling. When it was time to blow out my hair, he clearly had never done so before and made faces while he blew it out and barely blew it out enough to be straight. My roots were still wet after he finished and began to flat iron it. Not to mention he didn't use heat protectant on my hair at all. That blew my mind completely. Due to the fact he did such a poor job blowing my hair out, he had to flat iron the same piece of hair about 2-4 times to get it straight enough (grounds for heat damage!) and being that I've heard silk presses before in life, I knew I was heading to heat damage land. Being that my hair and roots were still wet, my hair started to smell like it was burning completely. After he finished he then used a hot comb........a hot comb on my edges and around the crown of my head. It's safe to say this is where I experienced the greatest heat damage out when I finally washed my hair. Although Marque was a nice person and a genuine sweetheart, that is not enough to fix the damage that has already been done. He may be great at straightening hair but maybe not for women with naturally curly strands, and that is okay....just do not false advertise your services to those in need. To my curly girls, please be careful and guard your crown. read more

Bad business! Stylist Reece has a 24 hour cancellation fee but doesn't tell you the price upfront. I had a Tuesday appointment but the salon was closed on Sunday and Monday. When I spoke to the receptionist on the date of my appointment, she told me to email them next time but still charged me HALF THE COST OF THE SERVICES which was $72.50!! Do not do business here, bad customer service & terrible communication!! Oh, FYI, when I asked to speak to the manager, I was told by the receptionist that "they weren't on site but they'll relay the message but it's not guaranteed that I'll hear from them." read more

I first came here to get my perm cut off, and Sebastian gave me my Big Chop and color. I promptly moved to London, and started my locs there. Upon my return to New York, I returned to Styles and started seeing Pinky. No one does locs like Pinky. Period. I live in Detroit currently (hair capital of the world), and when I need my hair done, I fly in to see Pinky. It's like that. I've referred friends upon friends here, and will continue to do so. The recs are always the same: if you have loose hair, relaxed or otherwise, go see Sebastian. If you have locs, see Pinky. You'll have no regrets either way. (Also, the assistants are great. I especially love Wadi (sp?). They clean the hell out of your hair, and they're friendly and hilarious. Some of the humour is very West Indian-specific, but I happen to be of West Indian origin and love it.) LOVE Styles New York! read more

I love the vibe of this salon. They are not only professional but they are fun and vibrant people. My stylist Khadine is Phenomenal. For the first time ever my natural hair is half way down my back. I've been seeing Khadine for over 6 years. I am at ease when I visit her. She goes far out and beyond to make sure that my hair is healthy. I must say her weaves are gorgeous and look natural. She takes her time layering and always recommends the best hair. It is a pleasure to be a part of a salon that makes me so stress-free. read more

Styles Beauty Lounge - Happy New Year! - Hair Extensions Near Me - New York, New York

I've had some crap experiences at hair salons (as I've previously yelped about). So when a friend told me about this place, I didn't want to get my hopes up too high. Well, I needn't have worried. I lucked out and got one of the most amazing stylists ever, Vikki. When I first started to see her, my hair was somewhat damaged, for a variety of reasons. Vikki was able to restore my hair, to the point where people were giving me compliments left and right about the noticeable difference. Vikki is friendly and professional, and also very accommodating to my busy schedule. I've been coming here for three years now, and always always always felt great walking out of here. So if you're looking for a stylist who specializes in black hair in NYC, come see her - you won't be sorry. read more

I want to thank louis for doing an excellent job on my hair today got a lot of complements.

So I came to this salon on a Friday afternoon, I was going out that night and my curly weave was a mess! My appointment was with Sebastian at 4:30pm, I sat for 20 mins (and was getting very impatient) when his assistant finally decided to wash me. Since my weave was curly it was a big fuss about if it would tangle, how he would curl it and so on. He said he couldn't curl or style the weave but he would curl my real hair into spiral curls. The spiral curls didn't really look like the weave but my hair texture and the weave didn't match, so I can't really blame it on him. I do think that he has potential to do great hair and I would go back if I don't have a weave. I was a little pissed off that I paid $65 for a wash and 4 spiral curls. Another weird thing was that they don't accept credit cards on certain days. read more

first visit to this salon was horrible. I had an appointment with Gabby and she arrived 2 hours late. i was being serviced with a full weave including a crown (closure). I bought almost 10 ounces of hair with me to the salon and i only have 8 tracks in my hair. What happened to the rest of my hair? there are several large gaps/rows of braids not covered with tracks. during braiding my hair was pulled so tightly i had post nasal drip and achy shoulders and upper back pain. I now have raised bumps in areas of my scalp from the braids being to tight. The chair hydraulics was broken so it was very uncomfortable sitting in the chair during the install. definitely not work $525. I am highly disappointed and surprised since the reviews I read praised her work. Unfortunately that was not my experience. thanks for letting me share my experience. read more

First off my stylist gets a 4.5, but the salon itself is more of a 2. Since I've been going here, my hair has gotten much healthier and has noticeably grown. I also love that unlike some stylists, she doesn't cut off a ton of hair and call it a "trim." As for salon itself, there are a number of cons: 1) the receptionist is not very personable and considering the prices, she should have much nicer personality 2) the assistants also don't seem to be very professional and they turnover a lot 3) The area to wash your hair is a bit bootleg. The water pressure sucks and they call "water" when they need to use it. I seriously don't think they can have three clients getting serviced simultaneously back there. 4) The overall look and feel is not what one would expect given the location and costs. Again, only my stylist keeps me coming back. if she were to leave, so would I. it's also cool that you can get an afterwork appt during the week though. read more

My stars are for any other stylist but Carla I have been a client at Styles for years, so I'm not a stranger to the diva shenanigans pulled by hair stylists. However, my visit a few months ago was the last straw. My stylist is the owner, Carla. After I was washed, I went to sit in her chair. There she was sitting with her yorkie, Pepper, who looked like he just got his hair done. Finally after I complimented Pepper's appearance, Carla allowed me to sit. She then began to give details to onlookers about the red carpet event she attended the night before, complete with quotes and reenactments, none of Which she could do while styling my hair. Just when she picked up the dryer again, she needed an opinion about the silk jumper she was wearing. Once everyone assured her that she looked fabulous, She began to dry my hair, but then she suddenly realized the 5 inch stilettos were not the best footwear for styling hair. While she was changing, I contemplated leaving with my hair wet and unstyled. Just then, I looked down at my feet and saw Pepper's yellow stained wee wee pad. I asked myself, is Carla really the stylist to the stars? Eventually, I was styled and when it was time to calculate the bill, Carla suddenly became focused and attentive; checking to ensure I was charged for every treatment I received. If you somehow find yourself in this establishment, wanting to feel beautiful and important, steer clear of Carla's chair. Gabby or Sebastian are much more professional choices. read more

I've been a fan of Gabby's for a while. I fell in love with her work on Instagram and knew that she was the person to cut my hair for the big chop. I haven't relaxed my hair in a year and was dying to cut off all the relaxed ends. When I arrived the receptionist took care of me right away. Gabby came over immediately to introduce herself which I loved. Her assistant was even sweeter and did a great job of washing and detangling my hair. I showed Gabby a couple of pictures of haircuts she had done and she made a great recommendation for what would work for me. I must say she is the Michelangelo of haircuts. Never have I had a hairstylist take their time with a cut while providing great conversation. I was on cloud nine when she was done. It was exactly what I wanted. Not too short but not too long and easy to maintain. What can I say but that I will be back in Dec for a coloring. Thank you Gabby for helping this naturalist fall in love with the hair God gave her. read more

Another terribly regular occurrence at Styles New York is the receptionist misquoting a stylist's prices. It's ridiculously inconvenient for me to have to bother the stylist directly because the receptionist is either incompetent, poorly trained, trying to price gouge, or just doesnt take any pride in her job. Get it together! I WISH my stylist would just move on from this midtown embarrassment. SHAME! read more

Styles New York is a small, conveniently located and classy salon in the heart of NYC. They provide hair care for both men and women. All the stylists and barbers there are friendly, and clearly skilled in their speciality. I travel from the border of the Northeast Bronx down to New York Styles at least once a month to see Khadine. Before I met her, I had all natural, never permed but badly heat and colored damaged hair. She not only nourished my hair back to health, but educated me on how to properly care for my hair. Khadine is well versed in up and coming hair products, companies and trends. Im one of her longest (possibly most indecisive) customers because I'm always looking for a change. In the last seven years, I have had multiple styles ranging from twist-outs, full weave installations and most recently a color change. Khadine has made my hair journey far more bearable in supporting my decisions and fully embracing the idea of customer satisfaction. read more

If it was not for my amazing stylist Juliette Fischer, I would never go back to Styles. Last week while I was getting my hair shampooed, I had to be subjected to a 15 minute rant by an assistant who complained incessantly about how customers were not leaving tips. I was mortified! I was also embarassed for my stylist and the others there that exude professionalism. I was also upset by the way I was greeted and spoken to by the receptionist. When I arrived I had to get her attention and tell her what I was there for. She continued to text on her phone and without looking up she handed me a wrinkled smock to put on and went back to her texting. She actually texted the entire 45 minute wait that I had to be shampooed. I find their payment policies to be off the mark as well. You cannot pay with debit or credit cards on Friday or Saturdays and if you do pay during the other days there is a four dollar + tax charge. Which is bizarre to me since the minimum service is around 55 dollars. I rarely carry cash and it is surprising to me that in 2011 at an "upscale" midtown salon that I have to pay to use my credit card. Or the other alternative is that I have to stop by my bank to get cash on the way to the salon. I almost wanted to interupt the assistant's rant and tell her "Talk to your manager, if customers were not hustled for 4-6 dollars each time they came then you could probably get more tips"! The eating policy is also ridiculous! there have been time where I have been in there for hours and I am expected not to eat or drink anything! I suffer though my experiences of this salon simply because I know that when I leave I feel like a new woman. My stylist Juliette is not only amazing stylist but a wonderful human being as well. I wish though that she worked somewhere else. read more

I have not read all of the reviews but what I can say is that you have to experience things for yourself. My hairstylist is Gabby and she has been nothing but wonderful! My hair has never looked so good, and I always leave feeling great. She has helped strengthen my hair to a level it has not been in years. My color is absolutely gorgeous! She is very professional and her assistant Shan is great as well. Don't believe all of the negative reviews. Go to the salon and get your own experience. read more
