Dianne is the best stylist I met in my life by far! I had lived in Taiwan for 18 years and moved and lived in Buffalo for 10+ years. I also went to Toronto and NYC several times for haircuts (tried HK and Japanese salons) but Dianne is by far the best! I have natural wavy hair but wave in a not-so-good way. My hair is thick and heavy which makes it very hard to style and to look good. All the stylists I met in the past suggested me to straighten it (which I don't want to cause it's costly and may look fake) but Dianne was the only one that didn't ask me to do so. She follows the hair flow when styling it and the end results just looked great every time. I also challenged her by straighten the top half of the hair and curl the bottom half and the result was again, perfect! It looked natural and healthy (compared to the one time in Taiwan which gave me a obvious line between straight part and wavy part). Overall, I highly recommend Dianne, especially for haircut and styling! (She also does nails but I haven't tried it.) TIP: book her at least two weeks in advance (especially for longer sessions like coloring, curling and straightening) as she is so popular! read more

I've been going to Diane now for atleast 8 years (which is wild to think about) and I truly don't trust anyone else more with my hair. I walk in, I explain what I want and I know she's going to do an amazing job because she asks all the right questions to really figure out what I want. She informs me of everything she's doing and why. She is an angel and so good at what she does. We're so lucky to have her in Buffalo read more

I've been to Dianne twice now, once for a haircut and once for a color. I've left happy both times. She really listens to what you want, and only works on once client at a time. I have really thick hair and the color I wanted was not easy. Even when my color took forever, and I told her didn't need to bother styling it so she could go home, she insisted on curling it for me. I really appreciate how much pride she puts into her work and the individualized attention. read more

I was looking for a new hairstylist in the Buffalo area and received many recommendations from friends to go see Dianne and so I made an appointment for the following weekend. The shop itself is very cute, cozy and, comfortable. It is well maintained and clean. The atmosphere is relaxing and since she works alone, Dianne spends the entire appointment with you, start to finish, it feels as if the salon has been closed just for your appointment. The best shampoo I've ever received and I absolutely loved my haircut and color. Dianne knew exactly what I wanted, and listened to my concerns. She is attentive and really takes care of you while you're there. Three months later and my haircut still looks great. I would come back again and again, I highly recommend you try this salon. read more

Dianne was very pleasant. Very accommodating. The atmosphere was very comfortable and welcoming. I'm not the type to go to a hair salon only because most don't do a great job of executing what you had in mind very nicely. She is definitely an exception. read more

Dianne was awesome! It was my first time getting my hair done in Buffalo since I'm not from the area and I don't think I'll ever go anywhere else. I showed her a picture of a haircut and balayage and she gave me exactly what I wanted! read more

I've been going to Diane for about 2 years now and would never go to anyone else for my hair. She's truley great at what she does. Some hairstylist can do only one color/style good but she is able to do it all! She took my almost black hair nearly platnium and at one point i wanted dark again with crazy peekaboos and she did them perfectly. Plus if you have stubborn asian hair she is the one to go to read more

If you're looking for someone who will take care of you and your hair, look no further. Dianne is the best!

Dianne listens to her clients and gives them the best results without compromising the integrity and strength of your hair. She's super friendly and creative and easy to talk to and I always leave with my hair exceeding expectations. Also: you will NOT find a salon with better prices for this quality of work. Dianne is excellent!! read more

Dianne has changed my life! Look no further! It took me years to find a stylist who could do my hair exactly the way I wanted it. Before Dianne, I probably tried close to 10 others. No one could get my hair right. I have very straight fine hair, but a lot of it. She knew EXACTLY what to do with it! Not only can she cut hair, but her coloring is spot on. She just knows what would like good, but also takes into consideration your ideas. I love how she brings out the sample chart and shows you what colors she could put together. Honestly, I would trust her to do what she thinks without even looking at samples. I trust her that much. Not only is she an amazing stylist, she is the nicest person. She is very personable. She is fun and relaxing to talk to. Dont walk, run there! *she texts for appts too which I love. So easy and convenient. read more

She wrecked my hair! I have a bald spot now as she bleached out my hair. I went to her for 4 years and my hair got shorter and shorter but never cut. My boyfriend would come into town and ask me why I got my hair cut. I never did. Her bleach and color caused so much damage. I left and went to a former friend who got me 8 mos of healthy hair.....went back to Dianne and back to the breakage and wreck. I have a bald spot on the side of my head from her right now and I let her know and she didn't care. I loved her as a person and a friend but the definition of insanity crept in. I had to leave 3 wks ago and at a different place where they are try to get my hair healthy again. I'm disgusted and distraught and may call channel 4 news. Call for action! read more

Dianne saved my hair! I came to her with a head of disaster! My hair was a blotchy streaky and breaking off in all different spots. I made a last minute appointment and I was so happy she was able to fit me in. Once she was done with my hair i couldn't believe it was mine! My hair not only looked amazing it also felt amazing! Dianne is amazing at what she does, I will be coming to her from now on!! read more

I have never had a hair cut I felt so good about. I let Dianne take the reins and she really did such an amazing job. I have gotten so many compliments, everyone loves my cut as much as I do! read more

Dianne is incredible. Her salon is beautiful and she is an artist at her craft. I thought finding a salon open before 10 was going to be impossible but her hours are perfect for me. I am so glad I found her and highly recommend her. read more

I had flown into Buffalo for a formal event thinking that I would do my own hair. When it finally sunk in that I was the one being honored, it was a last minute decision to get my hair done. Divine providence would have Dianne fixing an up-do 3 hours prior to my event, courtesy of a cancellation. Not only is Dianne lovely, patient, and creatively innovative, of which her work space is a total reflection of her, but her whole demeanor exudes kindness. She attentively listened to my ideas for an appropriate hairstyle, but also gave me her thoughts on how to keep my look young and fresh. Her insight was very well received, as evidenced by the steady compliments I heard throughout the night. Dianne was also able to squeeze a pedicure into her busy schedule. The fact that I was the only client during the whole appointment made me feel super special, like I was in an exclusive salon. I hope to visit Buffalo again, and for sure, I'll book a proper appt with her well in advance!!! read more

it was nice to have someone listen to what I wanted and Give me suggestions on style and color. I am planning on returning.

My exchange student decided last minute that she wanted her hair colored blue and green before she went home in less than a week. Frantically searching for a salon that would do this I ran across this business' yelp page. I was a little nervous since I had never been here before. I should not have worried. Dianne was fantastic. thankfully she had time to see us the same day I called. She did an amazing job on my kids hair. It looks beautiful and honestly better than I had imagined. Thank you so much. Would definitely recommend her. read more

Dianne did a wonderful job on my hair. I was previously dissatisfied with my old hair dresser and decided to try a new one. I found Dianne's great reviews and gave her a try. I told her what I wasn't happy with and she gave me a suggested I hadn't thought of. I was so happy with the final product! 2 weeks later & I still love it! read more
