Now that they've opened right here in Jackson Heights, I'm only a quick ten-minute walk away! I booked a simple haircut (no wash or blow-dry) for 10 AM, and I kid you not, I was out by 10:10. The cut was perfect, fast, and exactly what I wanted. Highly recommend this spot, especially if you're short on time but still want a great haircut!

If you want a simple haircut or root touch up, sure. But if you need color correction or if you…read morehave a more complex job, this is not the salon for you. They over promise and under deliver. I went in for a color correction and full set of highlights. The results were appalling. The stylists have no clue what they're doing. This is a photo of the highlights done aka zebra stripes. The solution to this? The stylist, Elizabeth just added dye to cover up the highlights. The end result? Darker hair than I had previously. I could have easily bought a box of hair color and dyed my hair if I wanted this. Went to the owner to find some resolution, he was rude, arrogant and dismissive. Photo of the zebra striped highlights on the right and then the undesired end results on the left. Terrible job, and no compensation for a disgraceful job. I'm embarrassed for them.

Dominique is AMAZING!! After walking out of the previous salon that I had planned to get my haircut…read moreat, I hopped onto Yelp and found Rush Hair Studio to not only be open on Mondays, but that they take walk ins. It was about a 17-minute walk from where I was currently at, so I called to check availability before walking over. Dominique answered the phone and told me she was happy to take me in as soon as I arrived. I communicated what I wanted: to cut off at least 15 inches of hair for me to donate then just have her add layers so that my face would be framed nicely. I explained that I have naturally curly/wavy hair and that I don't want my hair shorter than my shoulders when curly. She listened intently and very clearly understood the assignment. I let her know that I didn't really have an "inspiration photo" for what I wanted my hair to look like, but she told me not to worry and I trusted her. Throughout the entire process, she communicated EVERYTHING to me! She knew I was nervous about having short hair again, so I truly appreciated her transparency with what she planned to do while cutting as it made me feel at ease. The outcome is PHENOMENAL! I LOVE my new haircut (and so does my husband)!!! When I left the salon, she had straightened it out and it looked beautiful. The next day I wore it natural and it looked just as amazing! I'm seriously so happy with how it turned out! Dominique is my new hairstylist moving whether she likes it or not! ;)

I came in for a wash, cut, and blow dry with Isabel after another salon canceled last minute. While…read moreI appreciated being squeezed in, this is clearly a high-volume chop shop -- clients were in and out within 10-15 minutes. I have long hair. The wash was bare minimum (I had to brush it myself), the cut was a rushed straight-across trim, and when a small knot couldn't be removed, that section was simply cut shorter. The blow dry was almost nonexistent and only done after I insisted; it wasn't fully dried and was finished with a flat iron. The entire service took about 20 minutes and cost $90. These prices might make sense in LIC or Manhattan, but the service here isn't remotely comparable. The space is run down, there's no atmosphere, and no real customer service. It felt like a rip-off, and I won't be returning.

Recently, I decided to try a curly haircut with Adela (as I've recently started to accept my natural curls). I LOVED how she sat down with me before starting and asked me questions about my hair, routine, preferences, and gave me advice on how to take care of it. She also walked me through her haircut steps and technique as she went along. I love my curly cut! Highly recommend Adela- she's very clearly knowledgeable and experienced with curly haircuts. Also need to highlight how friendly all the staff is. When you walk in, they offer coffee, tea or water. I've always felt attended to and welcomed! The place is immaculate, always perfectly clean and well decorated.
