I need to write an update because I have continued to go to Bibi Saloon. A couple of really awesome things about the salon. 1) They have special events on occasion i.e. beauty consultations, Phyto days, etc. 2) They now have an online booking system which makes life so much easier! 3) The staff is AMAZING. All of the ladies are wonderful and I always feel at home when I am here. I will not lie to you, an appointment here will put a dent in your pocketbook but heck...you work girl, so you deserve to treat and take care of yourself, right?!? :) read more

Sorry have to say it but these people run on CPT, I had a 11am appt and was seen at 3!!!!!!!!!!! Bought a deal on living social and decided to give them a try as I live in the neighborhood. First off it was for a cut, blow dry and conditioning treatment with take home products. I have long thick hair and sorry but I have a rule never let a bald hair dresser cut my hair so I skipped the cut, the wash was AMAZING and the place itself is cozy to say the least. Overall I wasn't really wowed and didn't receive the star treatment other have described of this place. And I didnt even receive my "take home" products as was advertised. SMH read more

The Good--my appointment time was honored and i didnt have to sit around all day waiting. yay for punctuality in a black salon! you go girls!! The Better--they offered me complimentary mimosas like every 3-5 minutes. I hate sobriety. I love mimosas....ergo i love Bibi Salon. The Bad (which may actually be good for some)--I called a couple days prior to see if it'd be ok for me to bring my 1 year old daughter and whoever I spoke with said it'd be fine. Once I got there, the stylist (Danine) said kids arent actually allowed but it'd be ok since I had called and asked first. My daughter sat in my lap and behaved so we didnt have a problem. They do, however, style/cut kids' hair. The "say what now"--I paid $48 for wash, cut & conditioning via living social but the actual price would have been a whopping $185. I know this because the receptionist was so kind to print out a receipt for my viewing pleasure. At first I didnt know what the receipt was for since I had a voucher to cover my visit but then when I looked at it I realized she was trying to give me some insight before I booked a follow up appt at full price. So while I enjoyed my visit to Bibi I cant afford for it to be anything more than a one time fling. The actual point--my hair does look cute and healthy and whatnot but no more or less than it would with any other less expensive salon. I do, however, wish the salon well and appreciated their kindness, timeliness, cute decor and endless mimosas. read more

Fast, friendly, great prices, extremely capable!! I got a haircut from Maeela and felt comfortable even though I never got a haircut from a salon before (Best of all for me, they are a few blocks from my apartment) Good Conversation. Tip well! Update: The store owner offered me a $20 credit to write this Yelp review and then never gave it to me. Although I did have a good experience when I went, I do not plan on returning to Bibi salon. read more

Having moved to the neighborhood only in October of 2010, I am still in the process of finding my go to places in the area. So walking back home from my weekly grocery trips to Best Yet supermarket I noticed BiBi and decided to give it a go. Yes, the prices aren't cheap but then again this isn't Supercuts and I soon found out that you get what you pay for. My hair is hard to cut, not simply because it's thick, straight and unforgiving but it grows in the most random directions. At one time I was content to pay $12 dollars at a barber to get a #6 on the sides and a trim on top - later having to use a pint of gel just to get it to not stick up in odd places all over my head. No more! Maisha knows her stuff. She used scissors the whole way (a true sign of a competent and skilled hairdresser) and cut my hair just the right amount in all the right places. My hair now looks great even without any product! I'm thrilled that I can walk down the street 2 blocks to my salon. Maisha, I'm glad to have found you. Andrew read more

Pros: Falon is amazing with natural hair. She listens to what you want, is gentle with your tresses, and gets the job done quickly. I'm going back for appointment #2 this week. Cons: No freebees here. Bring a small bag of gold. read more

I had an appointment to get my hair styled for my 40th birthday. I scheduled the appointment three weeks prior when I was there to get my hair highlighted. When I arrived at 1:30 pm, no one was there. I called the number twice and left messages. To this day, four weeks later, no one called me back to even apologize for not being there. I had been going to Bibi for the last 4-5 years to get my hair highlighted so I was not a new customer. I'm very disappointed that no one was there to do my hair and that I did not receive an apology. read more

Bibi Salon - Hair Salons Near Me - New York, New York

Elliot is a artist and efficient! Disclaimer... I have short hair... but I was in and out in two hours!

Finding a hair stylist that listens to what you want seems like it should be an easy task to achieve, although sadly I spent a good amount of time trying to find this in NYC. I was tired of going in with a specific idea, and walking out of the salon looking like the 17 other girls leaving that day. And then I found Elliot. I first found Elliot in soho, where I was relieved to have a conversation with my stylist about what it was that I wanted for my hair. I would doubly surprised when I actually got the results we discussed prior. I was so happy in fact, that Elliot managed to take a downtown girl into Harlem to continue the budding relationship. Elliot is the perfect mixture of talent and good company. He listens intently, provides valuable inputs and executes what he sets out to achieve. He is empathic and also had an opinion in which he can deliver in a non-offensive manner. I trust him to dramatically change my hair if so desired, because I know I'll leave feeling wonderful. Elliot is so worth it and more. read more

I bought the $48 deal from LivingSocial and could not be more pleasantly surprised by how it turned out. I really just did it because my ends were falling off (like, literally falling into little bits on my pillowcase, in the shower, every day life, etc, etc.). Wasn't expecting a fantastic haircut - I just wanted to try something new. I did not want to get my hair fried by the cheap products and mega-hot blowdryers at the Dominican salon (where they have blown my curly hair silky straight but never really given me a good haircut that works when I wear my hair curly). And I did not want to pay the hefty price at Ouidad (a fantastic but expensive place). Maisha, though, gave me a fantastic cut! I knew she knew her stuff because as I was getting my hot oil Phyto treatment, she gave a little white baby his first hair cut, gave a grown white man a fantastic cut (and she spent a lot of time getting it right. Who knew men's cuts actually took time and talent?), and she gave a black woman wonderful hydrated curls. I point out ethnicities so you can see her range with hair textures. Anyway, as for my cut - wow. People of all ethnicities, white, black , latino - noticed and actually commented on how great my hair looked. First time this has ever happened to me. My curls were perfectly layered and when I asked to see it straight, she blew it out and flat ironed it, leaving me with phenomenal, magazine chick volume. I saw what the services cost without my deal and yes, I would pay full-price gladly. You're getting a fantastic haircut with actual quality products - no cheap shampoos or shady styling products. Those Phyto products she uses are not cheap! And dammit, if I can spend that money having drinks with boring people, I sure as hell can spend it taking good care of myself. As a plus, while I was there, at least 4 random neighborhood people stopped by to just say hi to Maisha. Who does that in NYC?! Says great things about her and her salon. Oh, and you can get water/wine and fruit, and zero attitude while waiting. Very, very nice. read more

It takes me just under an hour to get to Bibi Salon from my apt in Brooklyn but it's worth the time. I go because Elliott is a great stylist who has my hair looking shiny and healthy every time I leave. He always gives me a great cut or trim and manages my difficult hair without weighing me down in heavy product. The salon has good energy and good music. The other stylists have always been kind and welcoming and do great hair as well. I've only seen people leave happy. read more

Bibi Salon has a warm and welcoming atmosphere to go along with each stylist and staff. Maisha's skillful haircuts compliment the facial profile leaving you with ongoing compliments. mb read more

My hair is very very happy. I have been coming to the salon for the past 2 & 1/2 years and am completely convinced that The owner, Maisha is a hair whispering genius. My hair bounces; behaves; and looks better and better every time I come in. My cut is fierce; my color totally complements my skin tone and the condition of my hair is beyond spectacular!!! After searching for years for a professional shop with an artist/stylist who really knows and understands hair, and values-what I want for my hair and look, I can happily say - I am home!!!! As an added bonus the owner tastefully features children's clothing, in the shop, from her on-line children's clothing store - A2Z Children's Boutique. The clothing lines she carries reflect the owners exceptional taste and fashion sense. My godchildren are constantly complimented on the outfits they get from the boutique. Once again - I am home!!! read more

I've been a client of Maisha's for YEARS and I must say, she just gets better and better. First, to comment on Tendai's review, if you didn't use Maisha's actual name, I would think you were talking about the wrong salon...for real! Maisha is a HUGE advocate of natural hair; she even wears her own hair natural. If you're a new client and you use a relaxer to straighten your hair, she's going to try to talk you into growing it out. I've overheard that convo plenty of times! So, if Maisha suggested texturizing your hair, I'm going to assume it was for a really good reason. She's the reason why I no longer use chemicals to relax my hair. I was scared to wear my straight styles without a relaxer but I've now been without for four years and my hair is so much healthier, thanks to Maisha. I cannot change your experience; everyone has a different personal standard. I'm just saying, I know for a fact that Maisha is a strong advocate for natural hair and has always worn her hair natural (meaning, without a relaxer). She HAS recommended a texturizer to me in the past, back when I wore my hair in a short natural, because I complained about my curl pattern being inconsistent. My hair seems to have a bunch of different textures (left side kind of straight and the right really curly) so she suggested texturizing to even out the curl pattern. I tried the Phyto texturizer and it seemed to be very gentle but I just wasn't a fan of the look, so I began to wear straight styles (blow dry and curl). I also wanted to touch on the comment you made about the salon not having style books. Uhhh....I'm not sure if she has actual magazines exclusive to hair styles (I haven't paid enough attention) but there are TONS of women's magazines in that salon. A TON! Essence is far from the only magazine. I was just there last weekend and I browsed through about 10 different women's magazines/books. That's nothing new; they've always had a selection of women's magazines, many having fashion and hair sections. Again, I can't speak to your personal standard but I've never judged a salon on whether they had style books. I usually have an idea of what I want to do with my own hair, even if I can't articulate it well. Maisha is not for everyone, I suppose; definitely not the finicky. But your friend highly recommended her, so... MY experience at Bibi has been nothing short of exceptional, each and every time. In comparison to other salons I've frequented, it's quiet, clean, sophisticated and the staff is professional. It's not a spot with people coming in and out selling DVDs, folks talking loud and the staff gossiping about clients. It's a very relaxing atmosphere. I've always been willing to pay Maisha's prices for the high-quality service and the environment. I've met some really great women there, and I've done a good deal of networking with her clientele, wherever she's worked. And again, my hair is healthier than ever! When I begged for her to "get it straighter" she would tell me "no" and now I'm glad she did because it's no longer overprocessed and thinned out. It's full, healthy and shiny! Overall, I'd highly recommend Bibi Salon to all hair types. read more

I found Bibi salon on Yelp and went there to get my slit ends cut. The service was great and my bangs are to die for. I would definitely recommend them. The only reason I won't be back is the price. I was charged 125$ for the cut when the website said 85$ . I didn't complain and gave a 15$ tip. I do think the service was overpriced, so I won't be back. read more

I had a similar experience as Tendai concerning my natural hair. It was so dry when I left I couldn't believe it. I purchased some of the Phyto products, but wasn't impressed. Went back to using my tried and true Carol's Daughter. Would go back if I was getting my hair straightened. They kept trying to sell me on their blow out. read more

I am sooo pleased to finally have a full service mulit cultural salon in Harlem. It is such a pleasant surprise. It is centrally located with access to all trains just up the block on 125th street. Parking is easy too! Bibi salon is quietly tucked away on a busy block on Frederick Douglass. Its a store front, that at first glance is very unassuming..but as soon as you walk up on the big clear window in the front..you feel something different! When you walk in..you are immediately taken by the brightly lit space and inviting atmosphere. The staff is quick to greet you with a friendly smile and warm hello. They take your coat..and offer you something to drink.. Water, Juice, wine or champagne! Which depending on your mood..is QUITE NICE these days! (they also have very yummy lil snacks from time to time that are helpful when you ran to make your appt. and you havent eaten anything!) The staff ushers you to the restroom so that you can change..out of your clothes and into a robe. Very helpful..your clothes do not get wet..nor run the risk of stains from chemicals or color! The head stylist and Owner Maisha is quiet, honest, helpful and fun. She goes over what she will be doing step by step..and explains the products she uses..which is Phyto. She answers all your questions..and doesnt seem to get frustrated or bothered by how many you have..( I ask alot of questions!) She is primarlily concerned with healthy hair and thats always a plus. My experiences at Bibi..have been everything you would want a salon experience to be..pleasant, relaxing and fun! I have yet to leave there feeling anything but FABULOUS!!!! Go and give BiBi Salon a shot! read more

I moved to NYC last winter and continued to travel home every weekend to get my hair done. A coworker suggested Bibi Salon to me shortly after it opened. I was excited to try them out since I live and work in Harlem and had not found a hairdress here that used the products or offered the services I was used to. The salon is gorgeous with a very clean and chic aesthetic. I found the customer service to be beyond expectations and the staff to be knowledgeable. I love the fact that is phyto salon! Maisha is a top notch stylist that understands all different hair types. I am not only happy with the style of my hair, but also, the improved condition of it. Bibi Salon and the staff are truly a treasure for Harlem and New City. read more

For the first time I went to BiBi Salon! Elliot was my stylist and he was fantastic and well informed about healthy hair and how to style. Context: -I historically hate getting my hair done in NYC, I go to Philly instead -I have natural hair, but go back and forth from curly and straight -I picked Bibi Salon because I love Phyto Hair Products Experience: -Elliot did everything right from the blow dry (used a flat brush and not a round brush) to the flat iron (I was pleased to see that he could curl with a flatiron) -Service was great I will definitely be going back because my hair will remain healthy, my hair was beautiful, and I felt comfortable/relaxed. read more

A Bibi regular recommended by another Bibi regular, I've relied on this salon longer than any other in New York. This place is a rich corner of the Harlem community on the increasingly vibrant Frederick Douglass Boulevard, featuring new artists' work on the walls and a good collection of other local businesses' postcards by the entrance. Give it a try, and enjoy the company of Bibi's friendly staff and clientele. read more

I went to Bibi Salon for the first time back in March. I recently moved to the east coast from the midwest, so I decided to give the salon a try after seeing a write up in Essence magazine. My likes: Confirmation text message at least two days before your appointment; Wait time or lack of wait time to get started with your services after you arrive for your appointment; Location and staff Both the salon and staff are very professional. I believe they are focused on quality hair care, which is a must for me. I am pretty conservative with my hair, so I mainly look for someone that is in the business of taking care of hair. I was pleased with my first visit and I have been back for 2 additional appointments. read more

This place is my hair recovery salon!!! I found this salon thru a Living Social Deal . I was in need of some help with my hair. My hair was over processed and breaking. Every time I put my hands thru my head, strands of hair would fall out. So I needed help. I came to Bibi salon for a style. But while I was there Maisha educated me on my hair. Just by looking at my hair she noticed I switched perms! Well I was sold. I returned two weeks later to start my journey of healthy hair. It's been two years later and I'm so pleased. This place will not disappoint. read more

I have to say, the ladies were very nice, they were constantly checking to see how you are doing. But, I didn't pay for them to be nice to me; i paid them to do a damn good job on my hair! i should have listened to the reviews and not gone here. But because I did see some good reviews, i thought, "why not?" well i'll tell you should pick somewhere else. First, my appointment took 4 hours. It doesnt take four hours to get a hair color, especially when I was the only client there. But the worst is that when she was blow drying my hair, she was damaging it so much. she'd pull my hair with the brush and she'd just harshly brush through the tangles, breaking the hair further. I never brush my hair like that! With every stroke i heard the breaks of my poor hair. She was very rough. She is supposed to be a senior stylist; and that was no senior stylist treatment! Then I asked her to just trim the ends because I liked my hair cut and I wanted to leave it the way it was. So she started trimming and trimming and changed my hairstyle. To make things worse, I was quoted on the telephone that a hair cut and a hair color would cost 75 dollars each. Well, when I got here, They were changing their price to an even higher amount. Which was why I decided to not do the hair cut and do the trim instead, and it turns out that the stupid simple trim costed me more than the hair cut. I was so pissed off tha they didnt inform me when I asked! Overall my experience was not good here. I've had a complete head make over for 80-90 dollars (hair color, and cut + style) and here I walked out with just a hair color (where I could still see my whites), and an over paid bad trim (not even the hair cut I wanted), and paid $170. I will NEVER, EVERRR come here again, nor will I ever recommend this to any friend. So even though there are good reviews, skip them because this place is not worth the prices they charge. read more

I have been natural for more than five years now so my curl pattern is pretty well defined. Every now and then, I want to wear it straight for a different look. Well, needless to say, Maisha worked wonders on my hair. It was shiny, soft and full of body. Maisha is not only into good looking hair but healthy hair.....which is very important for someone like me who tends to have dry hair. She used Phyto Specific products on my hair which is great for people with natural textures. I highly recommend Maisha and Bibi Salon for anyone who wants professional service as well as healthy and beautiful hair. It doesn't get much better than this! read more

After the Phyto wizard did a special treatment and Maisha did her magic, my hair was a shiny as glass (blow dry and iron). Two days later, I am still so pleased! read more

I don't know what Elliot did, but since he cut my hair, after asking me what I wanted ( which was healthy hair, keeping length, but cut it, sir) my hair is DA BOMB. Even after his flat iron, my curls are healthy a luscious, after I washed it two weeks later. read more

I recently made the switch from natural hair to perm process after 20 years of wearing my hair in twists, Afros, and braids. I think eventually I'll go back to natural, fyi. Maisha has been my stylist for 18 months. I first started going there for color treatment and conditioning of my Afro. When I decided to get a perm, I talked with her a great deal about my concerns. She was very honest and gave me lots of options in terms of styles, treatments, products and the like. I have to say that she is is the knowledgeable stylist I've ever worked with. My hair has never been so healthy, permed or natural. I'm really happy with her services and I tend not to like hair salons in general. read more

Owner, Maisha is an expert at what she does!!I have left many a stylist before I found Maisha. She knows what she's doing, is stylish and more importantly, puts the health of her clients hair first. Another must have quality, she is prompt...I am always in and out and I leave with healthy, lightweight, shiny hair. So glad I found her!! Also of note, the salon is beautiful, comfortable and clean. You can't go wrong. read more

Maisha gives a great haircut for men, is fun to talk to, cares about the neighborhood and is reasonably priced. What more can you ask for?

I'm just now finally getting around to writing a review on Bibi which I guess goes with the whole bad news spreads faster than good news. I'm from the south where wash & sets are popular without the whole blow out thing as are done in the Dominican Salons here. There aren't many black salons here in NYC (in my experience) who actually care about the health of your hair not just about getting you in and out the chair. After having my hair fried from improper relaxer application and subsequent blowouts at other salons finding Maisha was a Godsend for my limp damaged hair. I've been going to her for the past two years and when I stick with the healthy hair regimen she does when I'm away from the salon my hair stays in good shape. Yes the Phyto relaxer does not give you the bone straight look but it's not supposed to - I realize that isn't for everyone but for me at this point trying to nurture my hair while not going natural it works for me. I feel more comfortable in using my flat iron etc while still having some body. Yes the salon is pricey compared to some other salons but for me the health of my hair doesn't have a price tag. I also like that I can use my credit card and tip on it as well really convenient when it's one less trip to the ATM I have to make. read more

Great haircut and good hair cut people. Provide advice on keeping hair healthy, will say what shampoo and conditioner work with hair-type. People with curly hair will enjoy the services, it is hard to find people who can cut waves or curly hair, but they can. read more

So a friend suggested this salon to me. She said that the owner Maisha really knows how to do hair! I'm natural so I asked my friend any type of hair she said "yes, that she has seen people with natural hair there before and Maisha did a good job" So I called and inquired about them being able to do natural hair and the assistant said "oh yes we do" Okay good I booked an appointment after reading previous yelp reviews. So I went yesterday. (drum roll) Her assistant a really nice young lady offered me a beverage of my choice and asked me to change into a robe so my clothes would not get wet (nice touch) I asked Maisha if they had any books with styles that I could look at so I would be able to get an idea of what i wanted. Red flag #1 "No" we just have essence... Red flag #2 she had no suggestions, except for "Do you want to straighten it" The answer to that would be no. So I'm sitting there racking my brain to see what I can think of. So I think maybe an updo with braids on the side and twisted on the ends. I ask for a coffee which was good and I get my hair washed and conditioned and sit under a steam treatment with a warm towel wrapped around my head. Once I'm rinsed out I'm sitting in the chair and I think to my self "keep it simple" so I say to her I'm just going to get a wash and Go... She ask's me what I normally use I say any Gel is fine ( I figure wash and go is the easiest thing to do) She's playing in my hair putting some phyto moisture product that did not define my natural curls!! all the while telling me I would be a good candidate for a texturizer WTF..... Ok so I go under dryer for 15-20 mins to dry and then her assistant puts a gloss over it. My hair had no curl and looked a hot mess. She charged me $75!!! with a straight face. I just feel that if all you know how to do well for natural hair is straighten it or do two strand twist then you should advertise that, be up front. She was very nice and so was her assistant but I'm beyond pissed!!!, so much so that I think I have to call and speak to her to tell her how dissatisfied I am. If you are natural think long and hard before you go here!!! So here's an update I called and complained and Maisha refunded me $50 dollars... and then proceeded to tell me to definitely come in and get a texturizer....WTF read more

Though I have not visited or patronized this establishment, I have a complaint. I received a Bibi Salon gift certificate valued at $50 on Monday, February 14th that had an expiration date of Thursday, March 31st. To be honest, I completely forgot about the certificate and came across it on Monday, March 28th, just a few days before it expired. I immediately logged onto Bibi's website to discern what service I would like to have and proceeded to call to make an appointment for a Brown Sugar Pedicure ($60). To my dismay, I learned that Bibi Salon is closed from Sunday through Wednesday and I would have to wait until Thursday morning (the 31st) to make an appointment. Bibi's opens at 10am so I waited until shortly after 11am today to call the salon and attempt to schedule an appointment. I explained to the courteous young lady on the phone, Soleil (sp?), that I held a gift certificate that was scheduled to expire today and my desire to schedule an appointment. Soleil explained that they were totally booked. I then asked if I could be squeezed in at all and Soleil asked if I could come in tomorrow (Friday, April 1st). I replied, "Yes, I can gladly come in tomorrow however will my gift certificate be honored despite its expiration date?" Soleil stated that she was not sure if it would be honored but that she would ask the owner and call me back within 20 minutes. I happily gave her my name and phone number, and thanked her for her assistance. Two hours later and still no call from Soleil. At 1:15pm, I phoned the salon again. I stated my name and recounted the conversation from earlier. Soleil replied, "Oh yes, I have not had a chance to speak to the owner yet and that is why I have not called you back." Hmmm... I thought to myself, "It would have been nice of you to call me back within the 20 minutes to at least inform me of the difficulties she was having with reaching the owner, etc." Isn't that Customer Service 101? Anyway, I digress. I expressed my concern about the hour of the day and the likelihood that I would secure an appointment today or tomorrow for that matter as Soleil suggested. Soleil replied, "Hold on a moment. Let me see if I can ask someone else." I replied, "Not a problem; thank you." Soleil returned to the line and stated that my gift certificate was issued two months ago, that the salon is booked today, and that there are other promotions that "kick-in" tomorrow and therefore my gift certificate could not be honored tomorrow either. I asked from whom she was given this information and she said, "the owner." I thanked Soleil and hung up, unhappily so. Funny how the owner was now available to answer the question. (??) Didn't she just say she was going to ask someone else? Hmmm... In my head, I recanted my conversation with her and thought to myself, "Two months?! I just received the gift certificate on February 14th, only six weeks ago!" Dissatisfied with the situation and still wanting to redeem my gift certificate for a Brown Sugar Pedicure, I phoned Soleil yet again. I said, "Hi Soleil, this is Miss Collins once again. I just wanted to say that the gift certificate was issued less than two months ago on February 14th to be exact and that I really don't want it to go to waste. Are you certain that there is no way I can be squeezed in this afternoon?" Salon told me that there are no more hair appointments available today. I quickly replied, "Oh, I don't want my hair done. I would like a Brown Sugar Pedicure." Soleil replied, "Oh, I thought you wanted your hair done. Let me see if there are any appointments. Mmmm...can you come it at 4pm?" I asked if she had any availability for a bit later, say around 5pm and Soleil replied, "Oh. The gift certificate is redeemable only for hair services." What? Is she serious? I searched the gift certificate for any fine print that dictated which services could be redeemed or applicable restrictions and there were none listed! I told Soleil, "I'm looking over the gift certificate now, front and back, and I don't see any restrictions or specifications for hair services only." She replied, "Yeah. It's only for hair services." I again thanked Soleil and hung up, shaking my head. Here are my issues: - The receptionist did not call me back in a timely fashion, and was not equipped to answer questions. - The owner isn't available to answer customer inquiries and has not designated someone to answer any inquiries in her stead. - The gift certificate, which I received from a fundraising luncheon, was flawed because it did not list exceptions to its redemption. Overall, I'm not impressed with Bibi Salon. Their website suggests professionalism and sophistication; like they have themselves together! Too bad my first encounter with and impression of them is anything but. I'm about to call the Korean nail salon in The Bronx where they know my name and will pamper my feet for less than $30! read more

loved the experience and love my hair! beautiful salon, but not snooty. they took great care of me, my color is great and the owner clearly takes pride in her salon. everything is above expectations...except the pricing which is really fair. you'd pay twice as much for this type of service and styling downtown. going to bibi is relaxing...and you walk out looking gorgeous!! read more

Worst cut I've ever had here. I had to go to another salon to get it re-cut and the stylist was appalled at how bad the cut was! The prices at this salon are WAY too high for nonsense like that! read more

I have been going to Bibi Salon since April 2011, and I have been pleased every time. I can honestly say that my hair is SO MUCH healthier because of Maisha and the Phyto products she uses. The salon is clean and the staff is friendly. The only thing I don't look forward to is the occassional wait time, but I'd like to think that's because Maisha really takes her time consulting with her clients and catering to their needs, which I greatly appreciate. She is very knowledgeable about the products and makes you feel as though she has your best interest when it comes to the healthy maintenance of your hair. What more could a girl ask for!!!!! read more

Beautiful salon, great service, and my best haircut! Both times I have been to Bibi I have been very happy. Maisha is personable, remembered who I was, and was easy to talk to. I am caucasion and my sister in law is African American and we both agreed that she gave us our best haircuts yet. Plus we had tea, crackers and cheese, good conversation, and beautiful artwork to look at. Worth the money. read more

Honestly, I think the lead stylist here is more suitable for the conservative, professional woman looking for a simple, manageable style. I went here, with reference pic in hand to get a haircut. My end result was nothing like I wanted and my hair looked as dull, dry and a complete mess! After paying $160 for a wash/cut/style by a celebrity stylist, I was expecting my hair to look flawless. Needless to say I wont be back & its a shame that I cant find a good stylist in Harlem that shares my vision at a reasonable price. Other than that the place & staff are professional and you wont be there all day for your service. read more

I was impressed with Bibi Salon. I've been on two occasions and have never experienced any issues with punctuality or unprofessionalism. The decor is inviting and cozy. Best of all, my primary reason for going to this salon was to make an appointment for my 4-yr old to get her hair done. While everyone at the salon is nice and personable (not pretentious like some places), Fallon was simply FANTASTIC! Great with kids! My daughter loved her and her two-strand twists that only took 45-minutes to do. Happy mommy here. Will definitely be returning. Potential downside - a bit pricey, but well worth the investment for my sanity. read more

So, about a month ago I tried BiBi Salon and have fallen in love. I've already gotten my hair washed and styled three times here and this coming from a girl that used to go to the Dominican salon on a regular because it was cheap. This year I decided I need to take better care of my natural hair and find a stylist that can help me take care of my hair. During all of my visits, I was offered a glass of wine or mimosa on Sunday afternoons. I've gone to Elliott all three times and I wouldn't change it for the world. His attention to detail when washing and styling is unmatched. I always leave beyond satisfied and he just has a great personality:) The salon also uses great hair care products that leave your hair w a natural luster and styling techniques that leave your hair whipped for days. I also love that you can make the appointments online. I found my new hair salon and I've recommended at least 5 friends and celebrity clients to him and they were all beyond satisfied! Thanks Elliott and BiBi. See you in 2 weeks. read more
