I can't say enough good things about Melony at Velvet Monkey Salon. I've had dreadlocks for over 10…read moreyears, and they're long, thick, and take real patience to work with and Melony handles them with so much care, skill, and attention every single time. She never rushes, always listens, and genuinely cares about keeping my hair healthy and looking its best. What really stands out though is the energy of the whole salon. Both the 63rd Street and Plaza locations are full of kind, welcoming, sincere people, from the owner to the receptionists to every stylist I've met. You can feel the difference the moment you walk in. After years of coming here, I can honestly say this place is special. Good people, good energy, and a great environment. Highly recommend Melony and the entire Velvet Monkey team!

Let me start off with saying I am very happy with my haircut, Kelsey made my hair look absolutely…read morebeautiful and I am so grateful for that! I am hesitant on returning however because the place felt very dirty. My appointment was at 9, there was hair on the floor at just about every station. I asked what time they start cutting hair thinking maybe they were busy that morning. They start at 9, so the hair is from previous day(s) which is gross... I ask where I can put my sweater and she says the chair at the station next to us. I have to drape it just right because there are big clumps of hair in the chair.... The cables/wiring hanging front the ceiling were COVERED in dust as was the decor sitting out. I think Kelsey does an amazing hair cut but I'm not sure I like going to such a dirty salon.

This is a hair salon which has very high standards.I'd say unisex (does that really mean anything…read moreanymore?) but the majority of the clientele and staff are female. They do take male customers without issue, but guys, the quality of the gossip drops considerably for you. The waiting section-which you won't really need as they move fast-is immaculate. The owner has spent some time and effort in it's presentation and it shows. The stations are highly organized, functionally laid out, and impeccably clean. There are some semi private alcoves for those getting shampoos, perms and suchlike. Lauren was my hairstylist. she's a part timer-weekends and one day a week, used to work for the pubic schools till she had a couple kids with her husband, and if she's typical then the owners chose excellent stylists to rent booth space to. The current owner is big on getting their employee's constantly trained which seems to help the quality along. All in all this is a surprisingly cost effective and high quality salon choice, even if the gossip is sub par.

I received a terrible dye job here. My stylist refuses to refund my money. I have talked to other…read moreprofessional stylists and they all say that my hair was done very poorly by someone who didn't know what they were doing. I called the salon and have not gotten a call back. My hair looks horrendous and I want my money back! I don't want to leave bad reviews but I've been given no choice. Someone, please contact me and make this right! Update: was told by the barber (Jaynie) that she'd give me half of my money back. Then she didn't. I tried texting her several times with no answer. She accused me of harassment and slander! The owner of this place has yet to contact me and make things right. Don't go here, unless you support stylists who don't know what they're doing, ruining clients hair, and then going back on their word.

I recommend skipping this salon if you're looking for a safe place to do your hair…read more I would skip this salon if you don't want to hear hateful comments. I would skip this salon period. Please go to any other salon. There is no reason politics should be discussed loudly in any public space. Especially if it is hateful, and they are. I have heard slurs, and very very racist comments said very loudly in the salon by the people who work there. Things that should never even be said. The owner only makes excuses for this behavior. Do not go to this salon. They also double dip in the wax pot.
