I've been seeing Alex for over five years, just got a full refresh today and can't say enough how much I trust him and how good he is at blonde. The vibe at the salon is always warm and welcoming and he takes so much time to make sure you walk away happy. I've gone from full blonde with him to sometimes just a few sun kissed highlights and every time I walk away happy. read more

Aerea Salon - Hair Extensions Near Me - New York, New York

They are fantastic! My hair has never looked better. Liz does an amazing job with extensions. It's very overwhelming looking for someone to do extensions and once I found her- I knew I didn't have to look anywhere else. You can't feel or see the extensions- they grow out naturally and I didn't have to go back for any fixes ( which is HUGE) if you're looking at reviews for extensions.. they're it! read more

I made an appointment with Aerea, and she was kind enough to give me he advice on my hair type and let me know that the cut that I wanted wasnt gonna look how I wanted. She respectfully let me know I that she didn't feel comfortable with doing my hair simply because she wanted it to come out good for me. She had her trusted co worker give me some advice too. Everyone was kind, I'm disappointed I didnt get the cut I wanted, but I'm grateful they were concerned enough to be honest with me read more

I have been going to Aerea Salon in New York City for over two years now and it has been a consistently excellent experience. I have had the whole gamut of coloring services, hair styling, keratin and my hair has never looked better. The color is done so well that people are surprised to learn that I am not a natural blonde. Aerea also has a welcoming atmosphere with a friendly staff who prioritize customer comfort. Any stylist that has worked on my hair was attentive and skilled, offering personalized advice that matched my hair type and preferences. I have never been dissatisfied with how my hair turned out which explains perfectly why I am a repeat client. Best of all, when I leave Aerea, I feel rejuvenated and confident that my hair looks great. read more

Aerea Salon - Hair Extensions Near Me - New York, New York

My hair used to be really damaged from going to my previous hair salon in NYC because of over bleaching. Now that I have been coming here for years, my hair is long and healthy again thanks to Alex and Anissa which are the best hair colorists I've ever had specially for blonde hair! They do give great advice on how to transform the hair beautifully and healthy, just as pros should Liz does amazing invisible beads hair extensions which I had to have when I first came in since my hair was wrecked from my previous hair salons I was going to. By far this is one of best and favorite hair salons I trust in NYC and now all my friends are clients here too! Love everyone and the staff here read more

I've been seeing Liz at Aerea Salon for the last 3 years. She's incredibly knowledgeable about extensions and makes sure it works with your hair without long term damage. I have thin hair, so that was my initial concern, and was also worried I didn't have enough to cover the pieces. But after over 25 sessions, my hair is still doing amazing and no one knows I have extensions because they look so natural! I started out with tape ins and then after about 2 years, switched over to the Invisible Bead Extensions which I absolutely love and think are definitely the best extensions for my hair. I reused the same set and only changed to a new set after a year. The original extensions were still doing well, but I wanted to start fresh and mix up the colors a bit. Speaking of color, I haven't needed to use those services in her salon (only color I have are from the extensions!) but I know they are always busy with repeat clients getting their hair treated! But if you're considering getting any type of hair extension, ask for Liz. She'll take care of you and won't push anything if it doesn't work for you or your hair! read more

Liz is everything! She does an incredible job blending and educating on extensions. She made my first time wearing extensions sooo easy, required no fixes, and nobody can detect my extensions at any point. She also is one of the sweetest people and is always willing to have you pop in to help you learn how to style the extensions (curl, blowdry). Grateful to and for her!! read more

BEWARE of this salon -1 star is too generous. I tried this place out to get my roots done as a double process blonde. My regular stylist left out of state. My hair is medium/light brown, and lifts very easily. They left the bleach on my scalp so long that it burned my head. I had an open wound, ( look at photo below) - left the salon in terrible pain. They put a cooling ointment on on scalp and said it was my fault because my hair as too clean. Apparently according to my hair stylist friend, that used to be the case years ago- but products are not formulated like that anymore. My hair was so damaged piles of it broke off at the root area, took me years to rehab. This place is a the worst - surprised it isn't closed down. I go to Maire Robinson salon - best decision of my life. read more

I've been going to Aerea Salon in the Flatiron District for a couple of years since I live nearby in the Chelsea area. I need my roots colored every month as well as highlights every couple of months. I've had nothing but great experiences with Anissa whom also does my Brazilian Blowout keratin treatments. She is wonderful and always sweet. I have really curly hair that can get frizzy in humid weather, so the keratin treatment is always a lifesaver. I've tried other salons around the city, but I haven't had the best of luck as a guy with medium-length hair. It's just difficult to find a place where I want to become a repeat customer. I highly recommend coming here if you have anxiety about getting your hair cut and colored like I always do. You will feel comfortable and taken care of. read more

I have been coming to Alex for years and I wish I found him sooner! Before I found Alex it was hard to find someone who was consistent with my highlights. Every time I walk in I know I am going to leave loving my hair. Even if I wasn't happy with the highlights I know he would stay however long it took to get it right. He once did my hair on Christmas at 6 am!!! He cares about all of his clients and always goes above and beyond to make sure they are taken care of. He listens to what his clients want and is consistent. If you come to the salon you will see every chair filled and it's for a reason. He is a great listener, professional, knowledgeable, and a hard worker. You won't regret coming to Alex. read more

I was looking for a new salon near me that specializes in bright blond highlights and I found Aerea Salon NYC. The online appt system is super easy to use so I could book my appt any time of day and they were really good about confirming and sending a reminder about the appt time. Anissa is super easy to talk to about what I wanted and the salon environment is fun and friendly. We talked about the color I wanted and took all the time to make sure the color looked perfect and ways to keep my hair healthy. The color is bright blond not brassy which is just what I was looking for! Great easy conversation and the whole experience was fun and easy and it's the best salon I've been to in New York City! I highly recommended this salon!! read more

Consistent high quality salon! I have been going to Alex for a few years, and he helps me determine the best service and delivers the best color. He works quickly and I leave feeling great every time. read more

I had a truly horrible experience at Aerea that left me with extensive hair damage that took over 2 years to recover from. During the service my stylist barely checked on my hair and even went out for coffee mid service. The salon is very busy and stylists take multiple clients at once. When bleaching hair it's incredibly important to check throughout to monitor progress and the integrity of the hair, which my stylist did not do. I left the salon gummy over bleached. My hair was absolutely ruined root to tip to the point that it was breaking mid length, essentially leaving me with bald patches. I couldn't believe my eyes. I was completely honest about my previous coloring treatments - if it was not possible to get my hair to the color I wanted without damage, the stylist should have said so instead of frying my hair into oblivion! No professional would ever do this, especially without warning a client about the potential outcome. The salon manager offered a complimentary Keratin treatment, but was excessively rude and combative the entire time. I was already incredibly upset about having my hair destroyed and his terrible attitude had me literally crying in the salon! Completely unprofessional in all aspects. read more

My stylist Anissa was wonderful!! The color came out perfect and she was incredibly fast, sweet, and made sure I was happy. I'll definitely be a return customer. The salon in general is lovely. Both owners are super sweet and they have a cute dog as well which doesn't hurt. read more

After getting my hair done by Alex I was actually amazed. He is so talented and also a really nice guy. I highly recommend his highlight services for anyone that dyes their hair blonde !!! read more

Can't say enough about Liz, Alex and the team at Aerea Salon. Liz has been doing my extensions for a while now, and they always turn out perfect. She introduced me to even better hair than I was purchasing before and the right products to make them last and look great. Alex does my color and I love how well he can color match to the extensions. The blonde is always so bright and has lots of dimension to it. Everyone is so friendly and makes you feel comfortable. No stuffy salon vibes here! read more

Alex was incredible and did such a great job on my root touchup. I am platinum blonde and he was very educational on the process and treatment of my hair. Would absolutely recommend for anyone that is blonde in NY to come here. Compared to most salons in NY the pricing is great. read more

Alex is the best! I've been blonde for the last decade, but my hair has never looked and lasted so well in all of my life. I've tried many other salons in the city, but none compare to Aerea. Always a wonderful experience. Always in love with the results. I recommend to all my friends. read more

I've spent the better part of my life searching for a salon/stylist willing to make bold changes to my hair due to the abundance of hair that I have. Short lengths were always frowned upon despite my desire to always achieve a shorter length. I always listened to my stylists' suggestions to not cut short due to their knowledge on hair 100% surpassing my own, leaving me with long hair every time I left a salon. But, Alex at Aerea Salon was brave enough to take the plunge and fulfill my hair length dreams and honestly, I couldn't be happier. He never led me astray with what he was doing, gave me options and explanations for why he was cutting the way he was, and made sure that I entirely understood the coloring process. So attentive, reassuring, and comforting! By far the best cut, color, and look I've ever had. Overall, the stylists were all gracious, welcoming and moved efficiently between clients. BONUS: locations perfect, booking is extremely simple, and clear communication between stylist and client will definitely be found here. This will definitely be my salon for the years to come! xx read more

UPDATE: Alex is the color master in my eyes (with that being said I haven't tried anyone else in the salon). I went to get my balayage touched up and he made it look even more wonderful than the first time! Praising him--for a brunette, getting blonde balayage can be tricky as it can look too fake or toobut everyone always compliments me on how gorgeous the color is. Loved this place. Super convenient location-wise and very easy to make an appointment. Front desk was very accommodating as I had to adjust my booking twice due to weatI had balayage done by the salon manager, Alex. He was wonderful from start to finish -understood exactly what I wanted (and I can tell based on the outcome) and was great to chat with while sitting in the chair. I will definitely be back! read more

Props to David for my new lob! I would advise calling or going online to book appointments weeks in advance since this place is generally pretty popular. I showed David a photo of a lob, and he got started right away. He really took the time to understand what I liked, asking me along the way if x length was what I desired and how much layering I wanted to see. He partitions hair in a very detailed manner, going slowly to ensure precise cuts. He concluded my haircut with a beautiful blowout that I'll never be able to recreate, and I'm scared that my hair will never look as good as it did on that day. My hair tends to be unruly and wavy, but David cut my hair in a way that minimized those weird areas. Really enjoying my new cut! read more

I've been trying out different NYC salons for my regular haircut in the past 2 years, and don't see myself returning here. I always ask for a standard cut for my long straight hair -- I prefer layers at the bottom, and also a little bit of attention towards shaping my shorter hair on the side. The layering at the bottom was very mediocre, and the horizontal cut line still looks pretty blunt. I don't think she knows how to layers well and give the bottom a lighter feeling. She also definitely did not know how to handle the shorter bangs at the side, and did something very basic there. From the way she spoke about my hair, I did not have much confidence that she knew what she was doing. I can live with it but I've had better experiences elsewhere. read more

The Brazilian Blowout treatment I received was applied in a way that I left chemically burnt across my entire hairline. 2 weeks later, I am peeling and patiently waiting until it doesn't look like I have dandruff. Of course the BB has risks related to it.. but I have never had this happen the countless other times I have gotten it done at other salons. I would not recommend this service here to any of my friends. read more

I went in to Aérea wanting to go from mousy brown to blonde. My hair is naturally curly and I've worked really hard to get it healthy again and make my curls beautiful. I told them about my concerns and (I think his name was Alex) was very careful and made sure to give me realistic expectations on what to expect for the condition of my curls after being bleached. The results exceeded my expectations and my curls have been more beautiful than ever! Granted I'm deep conditioning like crazy and doing repair masks....so I'm putting in that work too. Bottom line is that everyone was so nice and welcoming and I really felt cared for and will definitely go back! read more

Wow! I'm absolutely shook at my hair transformation! I've always had light brown hair with highlights, nothing major. But I decided to switch it up by going a gray-blonde with purple and pink undertones balayage. I loved how my hair turned out. Alex, my hair colorist did an amazing job! During my consultation, I showed Alex two photos for reference and he explained exactly what he was going to do, which made me feel at ease. He explained there would be two rounds of bleaching at the top section of my hair and the end of my hair to achieve a blonde balayage look. As I waited during the bleaching process, Alex would check in on me from time to time to ensure that my hair has enough bleach and if it has reached the desired color. After washing out the bleach, he worked extremely hard to tone my hair to the perfect gray-blonde with hints of a purple undertone. Lastly, he trimmed my hair and styled it to perfection. The 10 hour transformation was so worth it! Peep my before and after photos! read more

I have been doing a lot of research on good hair salons and stylists! I have long hair but my hair fall has become intense! I came across this place and read all the good reviews! After months of research I took an appointment and luckily got it for the same day. My hair dresser was sweet and asked me my preference. I was looking for a cut that would add volume in the crown area as well as keep the length long. I was glad my hair dresser was Ajiz as I had read a lot of reviews about him online. He was thorough with the hair wash, was patient and meticulous about the cut. I wish he had given me more layers in the front as now it is more symmetrical that layered. Other than that, it was a good experience. The hair cut costs $95 and includes wash, cut and blowdry. Tip is cash only or you can even venmo it! read more

I have NEVER gotten a better full blonde highlight!! I dropped in here in April of 2022 on a whim. I, unfortunately, live in CA and have been on a MAD search for a job of this caliber since. The color stayed for a really long time. It was vibrant and looked like I just walked out of the salon for multiple months. I WISH I could remember who did my color. I truly have never had a better color in all my years coloring my hair (20+ years). read more

Omg! Best blonde highlights I have ever had. I've been in NYC 11 yrs and have been to the best of the best, but I'm furious I am just now discovering this place. Anissa is the BEST there is at blonde. I was really vague on what I wanted, but she listened and delivered. I am now a permanent future client. 5 stars read more

Alex is AMAZING! SO good at lifting brunette to blond!!!! He was able to create the look I am looking for in one session, where as at other places it has taken several trips back AND my hair still feel healthy and smooth. Seriously the best! Amazing hair cut too! Being honest, I normally struggle to justify getting a cut but it's well worth it with him! He knows hold to mold and shape hair so well!! Would highlyyyyyy recommend and will be back!!! read more

I've been coming here for almost a year and continue to have the best experience each visit. Alex & Liz are so great and the salon itself is spacious and really nice. Alex has done full highlights for me and the color was exactly what I asked for. 3 of my friends started coming here once they saw how perfect my blonde was. :) In October I wanted to go darker, and he did a 10/10 job with the color I wanted yet again. And then this week I came back to get a balayage for the springtime and I was hesitant since I had recently went back to dark, but I think this is my favorite color my hair has ever been. I went back in today since I wanted a few more bright pieces around my face and they got me within two days and were so attentive to the changes I wanted. It's stunning! And Liz installed my extensions a month or so ago, which I also couldn't be happier with. She does such a careful job and made sure multiple times that I was happy with the way they felt on my head. They've kept up beautifully, I highly recommend her. The prices are also the best I've seen in the city - I wish I could give more than 5 stars because I've definitely found my favorite salon (and that's coming from someone whose been coloring their hair for 10 years). Thank you Alex & Liz!!! read more

Omg Alex is a magician! Thank you so much for fixing me. I've found a new colorist for life.
