    My hair bang was visibly damaged by cold perm

    Steer clear of this dishonest, unprofessional, and irresponsible business. Their services and pricing lack transparency. You can't find a price list anywhere in their store or on their website. I asked for a Brazilian blowout to achieve natural straightening with a C-curl at the tip of my hair. Their Chinese stylist, Sunny, claimed that their straightening services included two types: "Brazilian" and "smooth," priced at $280 and $320, respectively. However, when checking out, he charged me $320 for the "Brazilian service." It turned out that their "Brazilian service" is not the traditional Brazilian blowout, but rather a type of hair care treatment--because my hair wasn't straightened at all after the first wash. Worst of all, my hair was still frizzy as hell. The stylist, Sunny, told me that their coloring prices range from $130 to $180. I had medium-length hair and only requested single processing. Still, he charged me $180 at checkout. Even worse, since he didn't pay attention to the differences between my roots and ends and just applied color to all of my hair, the result was very uneven after the first rinse. He noticed this and applied color again to the roots, but after the second wash, both sides of my hair still showed different shades. He claimed it had something to do with my damaged hair texture. When I flew back to Taiwan and visited my long-term stylist, he discovered even more uneven coloring throughout my hair. Not to mention, I had specifically requested no hint of green in my hair--yet it clearly had a green tint, which my stylist confirmed. Sunny from DV Hair couldn't remember my request: no yellow, orange, red, or green--just ash brown; blue and purple were acceptable. When I confronted him about the failed coloring and held him accountable, he said that everyone else loved his services except me, and that I had too many requests. Frankly speaking, if you are unable to provide the service, you should simply turn it down. This kind of coloring job certainly doesn't deserve $180 (especially with no glaze or double processing involved). The method Sunny used to give a "natural curl" to my bangs was applying a cold perm solution. I noticed there was no heat process and immediately warned him that I couldn't use cold perm, as it usually damages my hair more. Sunny ignored my warning and proceeded with the cold perm anyway. After rinsing, it was obvious my bangs were damaged, and Sunny admitted it. Yet, he refused to take responsibility for his misjudgment and unprofessional services. The store owner, David (or DV), reviewed all my conversations with Sunny and checked the surveillance footage. Still, he claimed it was just my "subjective" opinion about the results. He ignored the facts: that they lied about offering a Brazilian blowout, failed at both perm and coloring, and charged inconsistent prices. If either Sunny or David had any professionalism or work ethic, they wouldn't have charged me $320 Brazilian + $180 coloring + $75 tips = $575 with no compensation. They did offer to fix my hair, but considering the unprofessional coloring and my damaged bangs, I no longer trusted them. Plus, I'm traveling until the end of summer, so it's not feasible for me to keep my hair that way. I've since asked my long-term stylist to fix it--and now I have straight hair with a C-curl at the ends, just like I originally requested. DV Hair doesn't take credit cards--only cash or Zelle. I'm glad I paid via Zelle so I have a transaction record. Since they refused to act professionally or take responsibility during our discussions, I intend to file a complaint with New York City and New York State consumer protection agencies to help mediate this issue. I strongly urge anyone to steer clear of this business. If you've unfortunately used their services, make sure to keep your payment records to protect yourself. I had faith in Sunny and David from DV Hair and tried to resolve this issue peacefully, assuming they would be professional and acknowledge their mistakes. However, they insisted everything was based on my subjective opinion and refused to admit their negligence or incompetence. Hence, I'm sharing my experience here to warn others.

    David is really sweet and is really good at doing blended balayage. Balayage takes about 5 hrs, plan accordingly. I love the way my hair came out!

    AMAZING service by David!! He was so attentive to detail and so willing to make some changes. I am obsessed with the haircut and my new bangs. Place is clean and neat. They even served out snacks and water. Balayage highlights was $350 and haircut was $50. I would definitely recommend and looking forward to coming back next time.

    David and his assistants are always on point with coloring my hair. First time it took awhile (10 hours) to bleach but that's because he had to do my whole head since my hair color grew out. He offers snacks, water and if needed some instant noodles! Don't ever expect a colorist to do exactly the color you want. It's all dependent on your hair color and how your hair takes to pulling in bleach. Also patience is key. He doesn't use high volume of bleach at once to make the process go faster. That will kill your hair. He's very patient with the process. Today I went for my second time to get out my at home overtone dye of pink and purple I did myself. The process this time was faster since my hair was already bleached from 3 months ago and he was able to get my pink and purple colors out as you can see. DM him on Instagram, he's quick to respond.

    They fixed my hair! They were really nice about it and corrected the right color! Much appreciated.

    It's difficult finding a good salon in Queens. I'm so glad I came across DV salon. David did such a great job with my hair. He gave me exactly what I wanted and more! I honestly couldn't be happier with the results David and his assistant were super friendly and attentive. Highly recommend!

    Balayage
    Jennifer M.

    Made an appointment through Yelp and David was very responsive. I was quoted $350 for a brown balayage in June 2022. I arrived at 1pm and didn't leave until 8:30pm. David was very professional and attentive throughout the whole process. He was also very hands-on even though he's the owner. I would definitely come back to support his business.

    This is the most recent color. Super happy with it!

You claim your team is 100% experienced, yet during my appointment, your staff admitted they had never done this type of work before. One even said they would like to practice on a mannequin, but was never able to so why was I being used for practice while paying for a professional service? That felt completely unfair. When I went to pay, I saw an online discount, but the staff denied it and said it was no longer valid, even though it was still being advertised. That felt dishonest. If the extensions were installed properly and tied tightly as you claim, why would I be missing so many strands when I removed them shortly after? They shouldn't have just fallen out if they were secure enough for daily wear. To make matters worse, I heard Jessica, the boss, instructing staff to work on trying to get their bad reviews removed. That speaks volumes about where their priorities really are. I hope future customers get the honest, professional service they're paying for.
