OMG WOW I booked with Corinne and I'm amazed! I have never had A curly cut like this and she was awesome! She was super nice and the salon had an over all super calm and chill vibe! I have 2c/3a hair and have never really trusted people with it after multiple failed attempts at a curly cut but she genuinely amazed me! She even taught me how to style it! So my hair looks good even if I do it! I think it's also important to add that I had super long hair past my butt when I went in, so I was very concerned that she would cut more than I wanted her to, but she absolutely did exactly what I asked for! I don't think I will go to a different person ever again! I love my hair so much now! read more

Urbanity - My hair right after - Hair Salons Near Me - Buffalo, New York

My daughter wanted to perm her hair (first time!) so after countless google & yelp searching we decided to go with Urbanity because they called me back (even tho I didn't leave a msg to generic phone vm), and we scheduled an appointment. 10am appt - no one else was in the salon, and it was very nice and chic inside. My daughter was excited and I left her there (was quoted ~ 2 hours for the perm) since she knows what she wanted done to her hair. Pics attached of the perm to this post. It was done in under two hours and when I picked her up the front was curly but I felt the back was ... not done?! We were told to let it 'air dry' and the curls are forever until her hair grows out. Few hours later after it was completely dry we still felt the back was not curly. It had a curtain of waves on top but the bottom looked like her before perm straight hair. I texted the stylist who did the perm the situation. She replied: "She honestly probably just needs a trim, as perms can be a little damaging. If you want to bring her in on friday or Saturday i can do it for her. No charge of course". My daughter was hesitant the trim would be done terribly as well, and in the end she wanted a headful of curls so we didn't go for the trim. Friendly service but sadly disappointing skills and pricey - $150. read more

I've been seeing Ellen here for a couple years now and I think you should too! I saw some tips saying it's hard to make an appointment but I've never had a problem. You won't get in same day (unless you're super lucky) but it's not like you're waiting a month. They're flexible. Cuts and colors are always beautiful! I like to get my brows done too. She is truly a woman with many talents! I'll share a few photos of the hair when it's done as I'm typing this currently in the seat with a tin foil head. read more

Urbanity - Hair Salons Near Me - Buffalo, New York

The ladies here seem so well versed in current hair trends that I can't imagine anyone being disappointed in the hair magic they pull off! My friend EGP recommended this salon, as she is a client of Julie's. She set up an appointment for me with Lauren, and we went together for cuts and color. Initially, I was a bit perturbed that they were running 30-60 minutes behind, but the weather and driving today was horrible. When I come back, I am going to book my appointment on a weekday, not Saturday, if I can avoid it. Or book the first appointment on Saturday. EGP and I were there for 4 hours. Now, I don't know about you, but for me that is far too long to be sitting in a salon. I think the time issue can be remedied though by simply being choosy with when you book your appointment. NBD in retrospect. Lauren is amazing at what she does, clearly. She seriously duplicated a cut that I have long had pinned on my Fierce Hair board on Pinterest. It's difficult to find stylists with such precise skill in cut and color, and also those who are up on current trends, especially for short hair in Buffalo. At least, that has been my experience. She did an awesome job on my cut and an awesome job on my color! Like truly, seriously awesome. She must love what she does because her work certainly reflects great passion for her craft. She cut my hair so that I couldn't see it until it was done, and I have to say, when she spun me around in front of the mirror, I was so excited and happy that I could have cried tears of joy! I felt like I had been on a makeover show! The price was beyond reasonable and I will be back again and again! I'm so glad EGP convinced me to book an appointment. I felt like I was in a hair rut when I walked in, and when I walked out Fabulous, with a capital F! Hahaha! Go see Lauren. She will transform you into a work of art, fit for a Pinterest board! read more

Urbanity - Great pricing! - Hair Salons Near Me - Buffalo, New York

I came here because of the location on Hertel and the great reviews. The reviews are right. They do a great job here. This salon has perhaps 6 chairs, although I've only ever seen two in use. I stopped in to make my appointment and it was easy to make it. Love that. And I could get in within a week. Love that too. My cut was much needed and I am happy with the results. I felt like a glamor girl leaving with my hair all blown and curled etc. It held and the next day looked great too. Prices are clearly marked and easy to see. They even do brow waxing if you want that. Parking is street meter or side street. All credit taken through Square. But of course they prefer cash. read more

I used Urbanity for my wedding hair and makeup back in October ! Karen and Julie were so professional and accommodating from the beginning. They allowed me to do trials ahead of time. The best part? They are willing to travel to your bridal party, so we were able to just relax in the hotel while getting ready. I would definitely recommend them for hair and make up! They also brought in two other girls with them, so we had four all together helping us get ready which made things go faster! read more

Urbanity - Hair Salons Near Me - Buffalo, New York

Absolutely amazing! I used Urbanity for my hair and makeup for my wedding. Not only was I invited in a week before for a practice run, but they came to me on the big day! I had 5 bridesmaids and each one had their hair and makeup done. Three stylists came and it was so much fun! They were absolutely amazingly fun! My flower girl was so jealous she wasn't getting anything done, so they curled her hair for free and she felt so special! I totally would recommend their services! read more

Came to Urbanity yesterday at 12 and Jodi was my stylist. She was extremely helpful, attentive and professional. She offered me water or tea right away and then as that was brewing got right to asking what would like done. I only wanted a cut and style. Beautiful cut and deep wash with a toner and conditioner. Loved the entire experience! Will definitely come back in the future and recommend it to anyone! Thanks Urbanity!!! read more

I have been seeing Ellen for about three years now. I have a pixie cut which if you are a fellow short haired girl, you know the struggle of finding a hairstylist who speeds your language. Ellen is a cool rocker girl with awesome style. She is down to earth and listens when you tell her what you want. read more

Love getting my hair done here by Natalia. The prices are fair and the atmosphere is very comfortable. I am the type of person who rarely gets my hair done because I am sooo indecisive. I just want somebody to make the decisions for me. Natalia handles that very well - providing her thoughts and advice and helping me reach a decision. It has always turned out with a good result. I appreciate the small business they run and how personable they are with all of their clients. read more

I went in this weekend super nervous because it was my first time at this salon. I was amazed at the job Karen did! She was so good at hearing out what I wanted for my hair and making it happen. I always find such happiness knowing that the people that take care of my hair actually care about how it turns out. Karen did just that! The salon itself was so cute and cozy-they offered drinks to their customers. I even enjoyed when the staff went on their lunch run they asked their customers if they would like anything as well. That really was a game changer. I would recommend this salon and especially Karen to anyone that is in the need of some care for their hair. read more

Karen has been cutting my hair for the last six+ years, and the last several of which have been at Urbanity. Karen does amazing things with my hair, I give her little to no direction (or I show her ridiculous photos from Pinterest) and she creates great colors and cuts that always look perfect on me. Karen also gives me great eye-brows, like really great eye-brows. She is also trying to teach me how to curl my hair, but I've more or less decided it's just easier to schedule an appointment with her to get my hair curled. Karen has also styled my hair and make-up for events, and I was thrilled with how it turned out each time. I like Urbanity as it is an easy-going and relaxed atmosphere. The girls in the salon are always trying new hair and makeup products and are always willing to share and recommend products that might work well for me. Karen is on-time, and patient with me when I am running late. She is always able to fit me in, but I religiously schedule my appointments every 5-6 weeks. Pricing is completely reasonable. Parking is easy, never an issue. My husband also see's Karen for haircuts every 4 weeks and is very happy with how she cuts his hair. No more lopsided Supercut fades for him. I wouldn't trust anyone other than Karen with my hair! read more

There's a certain amount of love and care that goes in the work Urbanity does daily. You feel it the moment you enter the room and see the modern classic furniture and decor. I've only had my hair cut by Lauren, and she takes the utmost care to make sure that my hair looks great. She'll take the initiative to suggest styles and cuts that really compliment who I am and what would suit me. They get to know you and really, really take care of you. This is not some come in, sit down, chop hair, talk about nothing, pay and leave experience. Even though the price isn't much different! I've been going there for the atmosphere and environment as much as the fact that when I walk out, I'm looking the best I could possibly look read more

Lynae gave me a cut and style for my friend's wedding. The curls stayed all day and looked great - I was so happy!

Love this place. They listen to what you want, very knowledgeable about all products, colors, styles, etc...

Love Urbanity! The shop itself is in a great part of town..on the new and improved Hertel strip! Its chic, cool and super comfortable. I've been going to Julie for years and years and years and trust her completely! Highly recommend! read more

I've been going here to see Karen for years, as does my entire family. She is excellent and everyone here is very friendly.

Not typically one to leave reviews, but I have to give a huge shout-out and thank to Shannon at Urbanity. Not only was she super sweet and personable, she gave me the perfect blow out (somehow making my hair more blonde, idk it was magic or something) and she did my makeup perfectly in 20 minutes flat! I was short on time and she was extremely accommodating in getting me dolled-up and out the door in time for my friend's wedding. I'm not from Buffalo, but if I'm ever in the area again, I'm definitely going back. Thanks Shannon! read more

I followed Lauren here from her previous salon and all I can say is wow! Every stylist at this salon is extremely talented and tailors the haircut to the individual. I have had a pixie cut from lauren for a few years now and im constantly getting compliments on my hair. BEST HAIRCUT IN BUFFALO! read more

Urbanity is an awesome city salon. Lauren has been my stylist for years- she gets my hair. She's always got tips or tricks to offer, and the cuts always help my hair behave. I recently had a conditioning treatment done and it was quick, painless and helped my hair stay on the shiny side for over a week. Highly, highly recommend. read more

I am so happy with my experience and haircut with Lauren! I absolutely loved my experience and haircut at Urbanity. I have short hair and I am always very anxious about trying a new stylist. Lauren did an AMAZING job!!! She takes her time and really listens to what you ask for and she gave me EXACTLY what I wanted. I will definitely be going back and if you feel hesitant, please do not! It's a hip atmosphere without feeling pretentious and everyone is so friendly and talented. Urbanity A+++++ read more

Great Experience! Lynae was awesome and did a really great job asking questions and designing my hair cut to my personal needs and daily maintenance habits. read more

Hairstylist Karen does amazing work on cuts, colors, updos and makeup make sure to request her for your appointment!

I would not recommend this salon to my worst enemy. After being referred here by a college friend (last time she was here was about 2yrs ago) I decided to try it out as I am new to the Buffalo area. When I called to schedule my appointment I explained my type of hair and it's thickness, I was told that they had no problem doing hair of my thickness and texture. I showed up early and re-explained just to be safe. My hair came out horrible after 2 hrs. I was highly disappointed and cried on my way out. I called after returning home to speak with a manager about the quality of the job done on my hair for $50. She took my number and sent me a text informing me that the owner would be in contact. The owner took 2 weeks to get in contact with me and was extremely rude. I was not offered a refund or any type of compensation such as a discount off my next service or a redo. Once the owner did contact me she was not helpful, kind, or in anyway understanding. Please do not go here if you want quality service. read more

After my regular salon wasn't available for my wedding I search for another place to do my hair. I can across Urbanity. When I went in for my practice do they nailed the retro style I dreamed of. Looking forward to my wedding hair! read more

Love Urbanity! I wouldn't go anywhere else to get my beauty work done! With wonderful, kind employees who know exactly what you want, to amazingly low prices for amazing work, there's no where else like it! Urbanity is highly recommended. Their products work wonders as well! read more

This February I got married in Buffalo and the girls from Urbanity were the best choice for hair and makeup! Lauren, Karen, and Julie were a breeze to work with and made all of us look so beautiful. From the updos that lasted all night to the makeup that survived all the happy wedding day tears I was so impressed with their quality of work. Not to mention they are just fun to hang out with! On the wedding day they were timely, fun, professional... Most definitely HIGHLY recommend! read more

I would recomend Lauren at Urbanity to anyone!! She gave me a great cut in a pinch and I look forward to going back for my hilites!!

Amazing job on my frizzy, 10 times dyed hair. When I left Lauren, it looked like celebrity hair; shiny and perfectly cut. I didn't believe my hair could look that good! When I met Lauren, she had partially pink hair which was a little concerning since I didn't want anything "unusual". She probably sensed my apprehension and assured me that my hair didn't have to be pink. She listened to everything I wanted perfectly! At the same time, she did what fit my face, hair type and skin tone and I came out with the best salon experience I've had, ever.. read more

Thank you, Lauren! I finally found a hairstylist who did exactly what I wanted! I am growing my hair out but desperately needed some layers to make my long face look less so and she accomplished the task expertly! So glad I found her. I will definitely return. The space was also comfortable and my 6 year old hung out on the couch in the waiting area, sneaking mints lol, and let mommy have her "hair time." read more

WORST EXPERIENCE EVER. Based on a recommendation from a friend, I planned on using this salon to do my hair/make up on my wedding day. After paying almost $100 twice for trials and dealing with negative attitude, hostile employees and ending up looking nothing like the images I brought to reference, I chose to go elsewhere for my wedding day. No one wants to deal with rude attitude on their wedding day coupled with not getting the style even somewhat near what I requested, I expressed my concern. I was told basically 'too bad' they would not refund my deposit and hung up on. Who does that?? What reputable establishment conducts business like this???!!! Not one apology or attempt to fix anything! There was NO contract or any reason to behave this way as I calmly expressed my concerns. BEWARE! I submitted a complaint with BBB and will have to sue them. What a shame! I will tell everyone I know about this horrible experience as I would hate to see anyone else trust this salon in good faith and have an experience like mine! read more
