The quality of treatment here is always consistent! Yola, Sally and James make sure you are satisfied with your style . You can bring your own color , $15.00 to use your own. Wash , cut and blow dry fees still apply but that is well worth it. This place is always positive experience with good energy. I see many men for a quick haircut -James is the best at that . The blowout here lasts for days ! And the color always on point . Salon treatment without NYC salon prices . Affordable for families. Love love love it here ! read more

Clearly unlicensed. Has no idea what they're doing. Ruined my hair. Thanks a lot. Never coming back here ever. $12 for a haircut. You get what you pay for. I went in and the guy who cut my hair clearly didn't understand me even though I tried to clarify extensively. It was pretty simple anywayI asked for a three. The guy gave me a one and messed up the buzzer around my ears and just clearly was never taught how to use scissors to cut hair. He also just shaved my neck line way too high up. The owner blamed it on me and said my neck line is too low. She insisted that I pay her the $12. Can't believe I actually did. This is actually the worst haircut I have ever had. I went across the street to Rudy's and got it fixed for another $25. They couldn't bring back the length but at least it wasn't totally lopsided and ridiculous looking. Next time I'll go there or literally anywhere else. I gave myself better haircuts during the pandemic with clippers I bought at rite aid. read more

Best hair wash of your life. The chair is fully reclined so there is no strain on your neck. You're laying flat while you get an amazing hair wash. It's a double wash with conditioner. She spends so much time scrubbing and scratching as well as massaging your neck. Sometimes I go just for the wash and the blow out is an added bonus lol! I usually see James to blow my hair out and it always comes out bouncy and big just how I like it! I don't get a full styled hair cut here but I have gotten trims in the past and it's always good. read more

my hair always comes out amazing and last long I definitely recommend. They are quick and very good.

I have been coming here for 10 years. It is my favorite go to salon for haircuts, quick blow outs and 3-4 times a year my keratin treatment. Prices are unmatched for the quick reliable service. Yola and her team are the best. read more

Horrible service and very ugly attitude. Never coming here again. They make my hair wrong colour. And they make me to pay for bad service.

Great service and great prices! Getting your hair washed there is the best. The staff is all very nice and I will definitely be back. Very happy with how my hair turned out! read more

This is a great salon where the stylists know their stuff. I went in once to go from natural black to a dark brown (135+tip) and again recently to go full blonde (280+tip). Each time I went the stylists advised me on what would be best for my hair in terms of style, cut, and color. The color service always come with wash, cut, and blowdry. They also massage your scalp and shoulders when you do the wash. My hair feels extra silky and bouncy after. Definitely a hidden gem in the neighborhood. The regular hair cuts for men and women are pretty affordable too. Shoutout to James and Sally for always doing an excellent job, my hair especially being long and extremely thick is a lot of work. Excited to be a regular here! read more

I'm a guy who always went to a barbershop that had tv's on ESPN and serious bro-vibes. I get the attraction. I started to get tired of my barber being high and taking 30 minutes to cut my hair, constantly distracted by the convos. I also paid WAY too much. At Swing Time, you don't get tv's or distracted, stoned barbers. James, my preferred guy could teach a master class to these buddy boy barber types. He is a technician. The cost for a cut is $14. The value here cannot be overstated. 15 minutes max. I can't speak to women's service, but ladies or guys, send your guy to James and Swingtime. Great haircut. Thank you James! read more

Walked in just before noon on a Sunday and was taken to the shampoo chair in like 30 seconds. Usually, I don't like getting my hair washed at the salon because the person will be too rough or it'll put a strain on my neck. But that's not an issue here. The lady was careful and gave me a massage on my neck that I really needed! What a nice treat. I had waist-length hair and got a wash cut blowdry for less than $50 in just under an hour. I also really liked that they didn't try to sell me anything extra. Normally, my past stylists would comment on my grays unprompted and try to get me to color it or do some treatment, etc. They didn't do none of that. I'm already considering going back for another service next weekend. I absolutely hate taking the N train on a weekend but I would come here again. read more

I feel like a new person. Thank you Yola. You rock! Wonderful team. Great work and service. read more

I always come to swing time for a wash and blow after work. Yoola, the owner, is the best and so friendly. Sally gives the best massages and very gentle when it comes to washing your hair. I do my highlights here as well and they really take their time on you to make sure it comes out perfect. The strands are even on both sides and the color always comes out just how you requested. Couldn't recommend this place more. read more

Swing Time Hair Salon is my go to place for all my hair needs for many years. I've moved to NJ and still travel to get my hair done here weekly by James. He does the best blow out and has the magic touch to cut hair. I have really long hair and he has kept it so healthy and beautiful! Plus, I get my hair colored by Sally and she's amazing! Thank you to him and the rest of the staff at the salons for top notch service! read more

I have been going to this place for years, ever since it opened. I wanna say they even took photos of my hair after my first blow out and put it up on their website :)) My hair is super thick, long and curly. To think that I can be in and out in around 30 minutes and only drop $20 for a blowout is unheard of so I take advantage every chance I get. I have never had my hair colored there or any other service. If you want a great, fast blowout then this is the place for you; just make sure you bring cash as they do not accept any cards! read more

Best hair cut for great prices! The kerosine treatment is done perfect. I been going for three years.

I had my hair cut there last week and I love it! My hair is long, very hard to cut and style but Jenna did a great job. Jenna, she is awesome! I am so glad they came to Astoria. I have been looking for a good hair salon. This place is good, clean and the prices are so reasonable. read more

My review is way overdue! I cannot say enough about this place! Absolutely the BEST salon! No appointment necessary with fast service. Super friendly staff! Not to mention very affordable and competitive rates! You get this relaxing shampoo head massage at no extra charge by these wonderful ladies. Youla the owner is just the sweetest who truly cares about her customers. She's always welcomes her customers with a smile. James is my stylist and my go to guy! He cuts and blowdries my hair perfectly! James is professional and just a great person! I've been a loyal customer at Swing Time Hair Salon for over 3 years and wouldn't go anywhere else! read more

This place needs to be shut down immediately. I came in to get my roots done, very simple. I had healthy platinum blonde hair that I treat very well. I left with chunks of hair FALLING OUT OF MY HEAD. My hair started falling out when they were leaving in the bleach too long. I asked to wash the bleach out and was told no. They SAW the chunks of hair falling out and only said "don't worry don't worry". Not only that!!! But the lady with the dark brown hair literally tried to put a BRUSH through my WET bleached hair and I had to physically stop her. Now my hair is utterly destroyed and more than half of it has fallen out. I left this salon sobbing. MANY years of healthy hair care destroyed in 3 hours with these people. Steer clear of this place!!! If anyone has any advice in what I should do please help. This is sick read more

Absolutely Talanted team. I did highlights, color and a haircut there. And, all that for $130 (the only thing, cash only). I didn't catch anyone's names but the women with light-ashy-brown hair did my highlights and it came out gorgeous (no yellow, beautiful white, even better than I asked for). And the a bit older men cut my hair. Also, I showed the picture and he cut it even better than expected. At first, I thought they did not understand what I want but when I saw the result - I was amazed. And, I am a super picky person with hair. Highly recommend!!! +++ read more

I'm always on the lookout for a local business I can support and Franky I'm tired of paying $200 for haircuts in the city and some of the local options I've tried before we're not much cheaper than my trusted Manhattan salons, yet much lower in quality. So I was hesitant about this place. I've been getting my son's hair cut here for months and last month my mother came here for a haircut and was very happy with it. So I decided to try my haircut here and was very happy with the result. And finding such a bargain within walking distance from my home really freed me up to give well deserved tips to both the stylist and the shampoo lady (who also gave me a head and neck massage!) I mean a $200-300 service is nice and all but after tipping it leaves you bankrupt, it's nice to have a decent place in the neighborhood. Pros - great prices - walk ins welcome - fast service - massage included in wash Cons - no frills salon - hair on the floor - language barrier with staff - not too friendly read more

I took my son here to get his hair cut. He has longish surfer-guy type hair. He needed to just get a trim and some layers cut in so he didn't look like me circa 1976 bowl cut. I told this to the stylist and he said ok. He then proceeded to butcher my son's hair, cutting about half the length off. He didn't so much put some layers into his hair as take out uneven chunks such that my son's haircut looked like he had a losing fight with a weed whacker. I'm not sure if this was because the stylist didn't have the English skills to understand what I was asking for, or if he was just incompetent, but what I am sure of is that I have a pissed off young boy with a bad haircut and nothing good to say about this place. Pros: Very cheap Cons: You get exactly what you pay for. read more

New York is not normally known for its unbelievable bargains and yet, every once in a while, the stars align and you end up walking into Swing Time Hair Salon. True that it's not the fanciest salon in the world, but don't let that deter you. The stylists are friendly and the (ten minute!) pre-style shampoo/head massage is, in itself, worth the entire cost of service. While I have not gotten a cut here yet, I do come in frequently for a shampoo/style and Swing Time consistently delivers beautiful work. They do not scrimp on the details even when there is a line out the door. I have not seen a single person leave the salon with an ugly or dated 'do. Oh, and the best part, with longish hair I pay $18 for the entire thing. Considering that's approximately the cost of a vitamin water and a protein bar these days, it's one heck of a deal. read more

Amazing value!! I love this place. I've gotten my bangs cut here before several times and every time they come out perfect and even. The stylists really have an eye for detail. They cut my hair so perfectly and even take the time to flat-iron it or blow dry it perfectly for me. I've also gotten my hair layered here for a great price. It is also good to note that they will dye your hair for you if you supply the box of hair dye! I haven't done this yet but I may in the future. They also have a "rewards card" type of thing where you get a stamp on a card for every time you come, and when it's filled up you get a hot oil treatment! Yes there is a bit of a language barrier. If you're coming here for a super specific hair cut or dye job, I'd skip it. But for basic cuts and dye jobs, I definitely recommend this place. read more
