    Before

    I came to the Salon for the first time last week for a trim/ touch up and while the cut isn't horrible, it's not great either. I won't be coming back. She (and I'm keeping it anonymous here) barely asked any questions, and after I repeated "I just want a trim, I really liked my last hair cut and I don't really want to do anything different to it." AND after I showed her a picture from my LAST hair cut she still asked "but what's the vibe?" I said "I don't know, bouncy 90s layers? What would you call this?" While I still had a picture out of myself from my last cut. She barely glanced at the picture and said "say less!" But then she proceeded to thin out 60% of my hair (I have very thick hair so this has been noticeable) without asking. My hair is something I take great pride in, mostly because there's a lot of it, and it always just "does its thing." It's also very very VERY low maintenance. Like, I just started drying my hair at night in my 20s kind of low maintenance. And it still (usually) looks great!! I love my hair, so when 60% of the volume was removed, you could see how that was a bit of a burn. I know I said I have a lot of hair, but I didn't think that the comment would be an invitation to lop it off. She also blunt cut all of my layers? I don't know if that's a common thing, I'm not a hair dresser, but that certainly isn't how I usually get it cut. I have a slight wave to my hair (2A I think? It's curly when wet), So when you cut it straight across, the ends flip up and start to look a bit wire-y. It also looks like she cut a solid 2 in of hair vs a trim/touch up (for conext, gang, It's only been 3 months since my last cut). Kind of my fault for not speaking up, but still-- ask SOME questions! So, while the haircut doesn't look terrible, it's definitely not what I asked for. (The before pic is from halloween)

    I have been to great salons but none compare to Butterfly studio! The hospitality provided by staff is the warmest, a cappuccino welcome was the cherry on top to my experience. Elissa was an apprentice & I was her model. She was professional & informative about the hair procedure, she delivered considering my personal input & experience. I have navigated through a handful of hair stylists/professionals for 7 years now. I've acquired a good concept of the process etc. It was impressive how quickly she was able to lift my hair to the color I normally always aim for w little to no damage on my hair. Courtney is my fav artist when it comes to haircuts. Just check her Bardot x Curtain bang cut ;) PS: everyone there is so fashionable & when I come it is so exciting to witness everyone's dope style. Ya all look great

    Butterfly Studio is nothing more than an overpriced SUPERCUTS or SUPER SAM barber shop. Photo by me 2022

    BELIEVE THE NEGATIVE REVIEWS - If I could give this salon a MINUS ten stars I would. It is my personal opinion and observation that Butterfly Studio Salon, again, in my personal opinion and experience is nothing more than an overpriced SUPERCUTS masquerading as an upscale salon because it's located on Fifth Ave and has some strange contract with L'Oreal. It uses the same mass production style haircut line with one customer after the other as low-end barber shoppes. Butterfly Studio Salon, again, in my opinion, is NOT upscale at all Butterfly Studio Salon is HORRIBLE, and the manager stands by her insulting words to customers who tell her that the hair cut they were given was NOT what they asked for. They offer zero apologies or refunds .. Best to file complains with New York State licensing and also New York City licensing for cosmetology For $120 plus tax, everyone can do better by just going to a low-end SUPERCUTS. The 'BARBER' that butchered my hair was Julianna Ortega. She gave me what she wanted to do given that she was running behind between customers, since her customer before me ran twenty minutes into my hour with her. She cut corners with my hair, and now my hair is a MESS ... I have never had such a bad haircut in my life, and I have been getting it cut by professionals since I was young. I walked out of the salon, and my hair frizzed up immediately because Julianna Ortega refused to do a proper blow-out. Instead, Julianna Ortega used a curling iron while talking to the customers who was coming in next so she could rush through my hair. I told her I didn't like curling irons on my hair because it is dyed/colored. Butterfly Studio Salon IS HORRIBLE!! You can go to a barber/or anywhere and get a better cut Add insult to injury -- Julianna badmouths hair products that are not sold in the salon AND that are the competition for clean products. She was hustling Iles Formula products when I already own and use the company's competition. I must have said four or five times that I would *research* Iles, and she just kept on saying they sold it at the salon. I was NOT interested. Sadly, she put products on my hair that I NEVER use because of the creepy contents in them. Julianna hid the Kérastase product in a drawer and I mentioned to her I didn't want it in my hair, and when I turned my head to look at something she was mentioning, she put it throughout my hair. Shame on her ... if a customer doesn't want something used on them, the hair person should NEVER use those products.

    BEFORE! NO BUTTERFLY STUDIO

    I was desperate my hair need it help and I am so happy/lucky I found Jessica at Butterfly Studio. I came to see her with horrible color in need of a lot of help. She took her time, explained everything to me and left my hair looking back to normal and beautiful. The place a clean and big with enough space for everyone to move around. Everyone is friendly and professional and Jessica was extremely talented. I think I finally found my colorist. Thank you for making my hairy look great

Appointments became rushed, started late, and lacked even basic professionalism. You're barely greeted when you walk in, and the overall tone makes it feel like you're inconveniencing them just by being there. I told them multiple times I had a head injury from a concussion and the lack of care was very concerning how abrasively they washed and handled my head. My most recent appointment was a complete failure. I asked for a warm, golden brown and came prepared with multiple reference photos. While the color was processing, I clearly flagged that it was pulling purple. That concern was dismissed, and the product was left on longer. The result was the darkest my hair has ever been, almost black with a cool, purple hue. The exact opposite of what I requested. The color job is all mismatched, the lower part of my hair significantly darker, the roots are sloppy and uneven. When I pointed this out, the response was defensive and dismissive. At one point, I was sarcastically asked if I wanted to "bleach it," which is an inappropriate and careless suggestion for already fine hair. It was mind blowing to have this handled so poorly and then be rushed through a cut that does not look anywhere close to the quality of the past cuts. I followed up requesting a refund, given that this will take months to correct and fade, and received no response for over 48 hours. It's not even about the money - it's about the severe lack of respect. What's most surprising is that this level of defensiveness and lack of accountability was unacceptable, especially after such a grave mistake. Instead of thoughtful adjustment and ownership, the response was dismissive in the moment and silent afterward. Mistakes happen. How they're handled is what defines a business. This was not handled well. NYC has no shortage of salons that can deliver both technical skill and professionalism. This is not one of them. Updating this with a pic and additional NYC HAIR SALON SEO terms so future customers are warned since the salon has decided to block me after no satisfactory resolution. The pic at the top right was me pre-hair f*** up. Only come to this salon if you'd like to come home and cry.

This was their "best advice for me" and that I should come back and get both together. I only needed a haircut and this was the only chance I got (I am a SAHM with 2 kids and minimal backup except this day) so I said I would consider it but I need a cut now. It was 6 months since my last. That must have just not been the right thing to say bc I was judged, insulted during the entire session and I got the worst haircut of my life. I can't even get it fixed because it is so much shorter than I wanted. There are huge "texture" discrepancies all over my hair, the most obvious being in the back near my neck. There's also a strand of hair far longer than the entire length of my bob cut. I don't even understand how this happened. I'm so traumatized. I would never recommend this place and will never ever come back. I really had 1 chance to get a cut as a treat to myself, since I really don't have extra time to spare. And now I have to live with this until it grows out, definitely more than 6 more months. If I could give -1000 stars, I would. Please do yourself a favor and find a salon that can do a nice cut for long AND SHORT hair. WITHOUT A PERM TO MAKE IT ALL STRAIGHT FIRST. The skill level here is just so sub par. I could have done it myself.

I haven't cut my hair in 6 months and I have really long straight natural hair so you can say it is a blank canvas. This is probably one of the worst haircut I have gotten in years compared to other places that are in different price ranges. Leaving the salon it looked good styled but when I went home to wash it and had more time to look without it curled I saw really choppy layers and the length is much shorter than i wanted. For a cut I paid $107-110 not including tips and expected a decent cut for that amount. Truly disappointing as holidays are coming up and I have been wearing a hat to cover up, cannot wait for this to grow out but will take months. Ara was really sweet and nice but I don't think the skills were there.
