    Blow out by Robert
    Maddie H.

    WOW!!! I'm from Florida and I would book a flight to NYC just to come here to get my hair done again. This salon absolutely rescued me from a terrible hair emergency! No joke, we had just got off of the airplane to start my bachelorette party and when we came out of the Disney store, a bird POOPED IN MY HAIR! This was around 6pm and several salons I called were either closing too soon or too busy to help me. When I explained the situation to David Ryan Salon, they let me know that they were also incredibly busy, but that they could help me. Their hospitality meant the world to me! We sprinted to the salon and Robert washed my hair and gave me the best blow out I've ever had. At the end of the blow out, my hair looked and felt so phenomenal that I was happy a bird pooped in my hair. It was the perfect confidence booster to launch a bachelorette party and I'm still on cloud nine. Thank you Robert, for making me thankful for such an odd situation instead of upset. You set the entire tone and vibe for the bachelorette party! You're the best!!!!

    I've truly not once in my life walked out of a salon fully happy with my color and cut, but Madion since changed that! I walked in randomly one afternoon to get a color consult and was able to come in for the full appointment a few days later. Going from black to very light pink, I'm typically very hesitant when going to new stylists due to previous less-than-stellar experiences. However, Madion was very caring and vocal about exactly how I could get to where I wanted without compromising the integrity of my hair too much, and I've been beyond happy with the results. Excitedly gearing up for my next appointment soon!

    My hair before my visit at this shame a salon

    Run away from this place! Total scammers. Makes you feel uncomfortable, lies, leurs you into into getting more things done that they can not do. My hair is ruined -burnt!-and the colour was terrible -had a balayage before and it became a joke, worst than if a 5 years old is would have done it- for 1000$! You get treated and talk to in the worst way imaginable. Picture shows my roots growing, red colour isn t supposed to be there since it was suppose to be same as my root colour (excuse was that wrong tube was in wrong box.. okay, mistake are humans, but how about fixing it?) In blond length there is no balayage since bleach has been splattered all over my hair. (I had beautiful balayage before and didn t need another. But now i don t have it anymore) My hair was beautiful one of my best feature. But after being left with bleach on over 3 hours -"colourist" was coming every 20' to tell me he wouldn t leave it on any longer to not damage hair and again went off to another client! 3 times in a row!- it s totally damage with breakage everywhere, too dry and bristle to be saved. I lost 1/3 of the volume cause so much breakeage, and it feels like dry straw. Rude, snappy, wash hair roughly (not well rinced, shower your while face and body with karcher like pressure). Worst hairdresser experience ever. In tears and heartbroken. If i can had other pics i ll put before balayage and after, and 3 days later to "fix" the colour- cause yes, it was even worst on the first visit after waiting and looking forward my appointment for more than 3 weeks.. owners might reply they value their customers and they care that their leave happy, they don t.

    Made an appointment the morning of and had an excellent hair cut with James. He did an excellent consultation, washing and great cut - exactly what I wanted. I have gone to another place in Hells Kitchen and had a very poor experience so I will definitely be booking my next appointment at David Ryan.

    Went in for a trim a couple of months back and couldn't be happier. Madion specializes in long hair and did an amazing job - photos show cut. Today went back for full highlights and he delivered once again. While it's a little pricey I feel that if cut and color are done right you really don't need to go too often. Amazing job once again!! Thanks Madion!

    The worst customer experience I've ever had. If I could rate this a -5, I would. tldr: hidden, exorbitant fees, terrible customer communication, and they talk shit about you when you leave details: Pricing deception/terrible communication: I was a new customer and was interested in getting my hair colored. I had inquired about the price ahead of time and was given an estimate of "around $300" - see attached text file. I had Madion as my stylist. At checkout after getting my hair colored, I clearly saw a $250 fee. Madion generously subtracted $50 from the $300 cost, which I thought was a kind gesture, so I tipped him 20% of the cost - see venmo transaction. When I went to check my statement later in the week, I saw that I was charged $395. I called to inquire about the charge, to which Madion explained that the double bleaching cost $250 (after discounting $50), PLUS an additional $130 for the coloring (plus fees, etc). I called disputing that charge, as that additional $130 was not communicated by the salon either in the earlier communication OR during the checkout process (the billing machine clearly said $250). Madion refused to reverse the $130 charge (which again was not made evident to me before the service OR during checkout), and felt very deceptive. They were also very rude on the call, and tried to place the blame on me. Rude to customers: As a new customer, I was surprised at how they spoke about customers when they leave the salon. Example: There was one women who was getting styled during my appointment. She had made some very peculiar comments about the topics being discussed around gay culture. As a gay man, I agree that her remarks were very ignorant and homophobic. I did not, however, appreciate how the stylists made rude remarks about this women when she left the salon, citing that she probably was mentally ill. There was another woman who mentioned working for a big tech company. When she checked out, she mentioned how she would love to come back before six months. After she left, Madion made a pejorative remark doubting that that was likely to happen. The way they were talking about both women felt very unprofessional, and made me wonder what they were also going to be discussing about me after I left.

    1 week after $350 balayage with Markell. My natural roots are dark and BRASSY when I asked to be brightened up, especially around my face.

    It was the Monday before Thanksgiving. I was in NYC for work and I had a big holiday party coming up. I travel for work and it is hard for me to find time to get my hair done. It has been 8 months since I had last had my hair balayaged and I wanted it to be touched up/ brightened up around my face before my party. I yelped a "Blond Specialist" and found this salon. After an in depth conversation with the manager about what my hair was like and what I needed he scheduled me with Markell. I was concerned about another review here that was not favorable for Markell, but Markell himself assured me that was for a haircut not color. I have been having my hair in all sorts of highlights and color by lots of different stylists for 30 years, so I was fairly confident that I was in good hands and I never could have imagined that it could turn out like it did. Before leaving the salon, I was initially shocked that it was so much darker than I had ever seen it before. It was definitely not brighter around my face like if asked. Markell explained that he did it darker because the toner was a semi permanent color and it would wash out and lighten up within a week. I was disappointed, but I have rocked various shades of blond at different times and I gave him the benefit of the doubt that it would lighten up. I even tipped him because I appreciated that he had fit me in and he had run late doing my hair. But, after I left the bright lights of the salon and saw what had been done to my hair I was devastated. After a week it not only hasn't lightened up, it has turned to complete brass despite desperate handfuls of purple shampoo and conditioner. In 30 years of having my hair highlighted I have never seen it like this. I don't live in NYC. I don't have another $350 to spend and I don't even know how someone can fix my hair now that my natural base color (which always grew out beautifully for 6-8 months between highlights) has been damaged and turned to brass. I contacted the salon twice and left my name and number for the manager to call before he leaves to Australia for 6 months and no one has contacted me back. I have been wearing a hat for a week and have to attend a black tie event next week with this hair... Completely devastated... I post here because at this point, all I can do it hope this doesn't happen to someone else.

    Came to get a hair cut, balayage and blow dry with Pablo and looooooved it! Highly recommended this guy did everything I asked for.

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.

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.
