    Michele M.

    The only reason why I am not giving 5 stars is for the following reasons: it's very hard to schedule an appointment. I called to set two separate appointments, one for a styling appointment for a photo-shoot and another appointment with a colorist for another date. However, I was told that someone would text to schedule my styling appointment which took 48 hours to finally confirm an appointment. I am used to scheduling the same day and not having to deal with multiple individuals in order to set an appointment, so for me, that aspect was very disorganized. Although, the colorist, Phillip was very easy to communicate with and we were easily able to set-up an appointment together. Next, the salon does not display any price ranges for services nor do they have a menu available, so the prices are ambiguous and unclear which made me uncomfortable. To me that means that the salon can charge whatever they deem as appropriate without having a range to take into consideration. With that aside, if scheduling were easier and service prices were displayed, Tobi salon would receive a full 5 stars from me, because they provide outstanding services once you're actually there. The colorist, Phillip is phenomenal. Philip is professional, personable, knowledgeable, clearly an expert in his field, and it is indicative that absolutely loves his job which is expressed in the outcome of his work as a colorist. I will absolutely return to see Phillip in the future. I also saw Roxanne for a completely separate appointment on a different day for styling. Roxanne is also an expert in her field and did an outstanding job styling my hair for my maternity photoshoot. Roxanne has a great way of communicating, she works quickly and efficiently, and loves what she does too. She even reset my curls when they fell loose due to humidity when I left the salon. Roxanne had a great attitude and didn't seem frustrated at all which I noted as a huge positive. Overall, the salon is very clean, everyone is very professional, and the services offered are excellent. I highly recommend if you're local in the Heights or somewhere within the vicinity... you will be very pleased with the outcome.

    Roxana and her team at Tobi Salon are truly amazing! I'm been a client since 2014 and My experience from hair color, trims, extensions and the "Tobi signature Waves" have always been the best. The most important experience that I have shared with them was my wedding, Roxana, Nicolette and Jewel made me look like the most beautiful bride and the bridesmaids all looked stunning. I couldn't have imagined of any other team that could making us feel and look the way we did on my special day!

    Roxanna from Tobi Salon was amazing! I hired her as a hair stylist for myself and my bridesmaids for the day of my wedding and she was nothing short of amazing. Her attention to detail and her sweet personality made my day perfect and less stressful. She made my bridesmaids, my mom, and me look beautiful for my day. I had Roxanna all day for my big day which I would highly recommend! She fixed any imperfections during photos, helped me a ton, and changed up my hairstyle for all of the festivities that night. She is a wedding guru and I would recommend her 100 times over! A big thank you to her for dealing with such a big bridal party and for being by my side the entire day and night. Im so appreciative.

    Roxana is the own and she the best hair dresser ever! I moved here from Miami and was very skeptical about trusting anyone with my hair and my extensions. I was also worried about pricing. By a miracle I came across someone who recommended her. It was the best decision EVER! She is amazing, talented, affordable. My extensions lasted me 7 weeks and not one fell out. Very very happy with the service at Tobi!

    I found Tobi Salon while searching for a dynamic hair and makeup duo to do my July wedding. I came across Roxan and set up a trial. She was easy and quick to communicate with. For my first trial I came unprepared but Roxan made me magic happen and gave me more hairstyle options than I had anticipated would be possible. I went back to the salon for my bridal shower and rehearsal dinner hair and makeup needs. On my wedding day Roxan and Jewels arrived at our looking island hotel promptly. They did everyone in my bridal party to their liking and were patient with all of my girls' requests. They even provided me with the makeup they used so I could refresh throughout the day. The salon itself is very clean and modern. Since my wedding day I have come back to let Roxan dye my hair and I am very happy with the result. I was nervous to dye my hair again due to a bad experience at another salon in the past. I felt well taken care of throughout the entire process. Needless to say I'll be going back to Tobi for my beauty needs.

    Balyage and ombre!
    Hav A.

    Philip is awesome! Went for a balayage ombre. He was very honest about not reaching the lightness I wanted bc I had so much color buildup in my hair. So we reached on an agreement on a light brown balayage. I lasted over 6 hours but I didn't mind one bit. He took his time to make sure my hair came out no less than perfect. I love a stylist that doesn't rush. Pricing was very affordable too. Will definitely be back for my touch-ups!

    The colorist is amazing!!! He gave my sister beautiful balayage highlights and he is VERY GOOD in NEW style hair cuts

    I came to find Tobi Salon (Roxan) through my aunt and cousin who have experienced her amazing work. I was looking for someone to work their magic on my hair for my August wedding. I was so excited to see what we could come up with. She worked with me, had lots of patience and was able to come to my venue to do my hair. I was SO HAPPY with the final product!! She not only did my hair, but she did my mom's hair and touched up my bridesmaid's hair. I would recommend her to anyone looking for someone who is easy to work with, has amazing talent, and overall great professionalism. Thank you Roxan for all that you did to help make my special day so amazing!!

    Wash & set, curls
    Jennifer M.

    Looking for the best hair stylist? Look no further. Roxanne is not only is good at what she does, she is always advancing her skills and her customer service is superb. She is easy going and so engaging in conversation. I am a regular at the salon and she truly never disappoints. Some of hair styles she has done are braids/up do, curls, wash&set and both itip extension and track. Lastly, and possibly most importantly for some she provides great quality hair results making you feel instantly beautiful at a very reasonably price.

    Keratin Treatment
    Maribel V.

    This is the Dominican salon experience without the loud music, gossip culture, and 3 hour investment that you are use to, and yet you still get the finished results you expect with a Dominican salon. I went to Roxana for a keratin treatment and I had heard good things about her attention to details and I am very careful with who does my keratin which I do once a year on average. I check ingredients and ask questions and want to know that the person is knowledgeable and using something we both feel safe using and that won't cause damage with cheap chemicals. Roxana understands that and worked efficiently and gave my advice on hair care that I welcomed. When I went 3 days later to wash out the keratin blow out with the keratin, she used sulfate free shampoo and conditioner (which in most Dominican salons, you have to provide yourself because they use products with sulfate which strips the natural keratin and the keratin treatment off your hair). She works only with appointments so there is no long wait time. The keratin treatment too 90 min from beginning to end and was $200 (additional was the haircuts I got before the keratin) and the follow up blow out was $35. The work was fast, efficient, good and I recommend her for keratin treatments to remove frizz from hair.

    Super clean and chic !

    I had my hair done by Masaki and was extremely disappointed with both the result and the way my…read moreconcerns were handled afterward. I paid $480 for my appointment and left with hair that looked patchy and not like what we had discussed. While disappointing results can sometimes happen, what bothered me most was the complete lack of communication afterward. I reached out to Masaki on May 13 regarding my concerns and attempted to resolve the issue privately. I never received a response. It has now been about a month, and despite giving plenty of time for a reply, I have been ignored. I did not immediately leave reviews or make public comments because I wanted to give him the opportunity to address the situation directly. Unfortunately, that opportunity was never taken. For $480, I expected a higher standard of work and customer service. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend Masaki.

    Updating my review: I used to come here because the haircuts were strong, but over time the…read moreexperience deteriorated significantly. 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.

And what a fortunate thing I was, because I have now found my new go to person for all hair related needs. I highly recommend Ai for your stylist. Her attention to detail is superb and it is apparent she is a perfectionist as she even requested to trim my eyebrows to balance the cut against face shape. Reference this review and request her honest consultation for your intended style before getting a cut; I can almost guarantee you will be amazed by the end result. However, what ultimately made me leave a review was what Ai did NOT do. It was the fact that she advised me NOT to get a perm that day. She recommended it would be better to grow out my hair longer for the intended style. What refreshing honesty that prioritizes the best for your client instead of upselling any unnecessary service. I walked into NewHair with a quarter life crisis and a bowl cut. I came out 1.5 hours later having realized my full potential as a Temu BTS member, with the best haircut I've had in New York City. Thank you, Ai.
