    Before the magic

    Vanessa is LEGIT and honestly, her work speaks for itself. She's always willing to listen to her clients and bounce ideas off each other. I say that's hard to come by because not everybody is willing to listen, and that's a great quality in any person. The word that immediately pops into my head when I think of Vanessa is VIBRANT. If you look at her work, it's full of so much color and dedication that you know that she cares a lot about what she does. Honestly, try it out for yourselves and I promise you won't regret it.

    If you're looking for a gorgeous color job or new style, this is the place. I've been seeing Vanessa for years and I couldn't be in better hands. Not only is the work she does amazing, but she is always willing to go above and beyond to make you love your hair. A color correcting session can take hours, but still Vanessa will never rush her work. The salon is clean, comfortable, and beautiful. You will love Vanessa and you will DEFINITELY love your hair.

    I got a total transformation done by Vanessa! I asked for a short bob and she gave me exactly what I needed!! The passion and love she has for doing hair completely shows and I'm so happy I got my first bob done by her!! Vanessa explained everything that she did and made me feel super comfortable!! Totally recommend!!!

    Requested for a blonde balayage and Vanessa delivered!

    I've been coming to Vanessa for three years, first for a magenta ombre, then a rose gold ombre and now a honey blonde ombre. She is so skillful and careful with her clients, really taking the time to perfect the smooth transitions in her ombre and balayage application. She's honest when you ask about particular looks, the longevity of a color and other helpful things to know when coloring hair. She just opened up her own salon in November and the decor is absolutely adorable, with the pastel pink textured walls and the chic and classic chandeliers. I definitely recommend her when it comes to ombre and balayage coloring techniques.

    I got a lovely haircut and balayage a couple months ago. I've gotten so many compliments on my hair and it's never looked better. I've struggled finding the perfect stylist who can deal with thick dark Asian hair and Vanessa, the owner made it all seem like a breeze. She is a talented colorist and I'm so happy her salon is in Astoria. She was able to deliver a beautiful ash blonde color and I am excited to go back for my next color. Also, my hair felt so much healthier after my visit!

    I'm very picky about who touches my hair, and ever since I found Prime One and Roy and his team,…read moreI've been a true regular. I go at least once a week, and always before I fly out. Roy is the biggest reason. He's so detail-oriented and always gives me the perfect beachwaves. No matter how busy it is, he makes me feel like a priority. Jennifer has washed my hair most often and she's thorough, with a great scalp massage. She even lets me pick how long my blue shampoo sits (yes, I bring my own products, LOL). The rest of the team is just as attentive. The salon is spacious and clean, and the all-Asian team is warm and always does their best for you. I just wish I had taken my Mandarin lessons seriously so I could chat with them properly! Thank you Roy and team for always making me feel like a VIP customer. See you again in a few days!

    We came here for my friend after checking the Yelp reviews, and at first we weren't totally sure…read morewhat to expect, but we ended up being really happy with the result. The haircut came out super nice, and they also lightened and added three small highlight pieces. It was such a small change, but it completely changed the whole vibe of her hair. We paid around $120 total including tip for the haircut, lightening, and the three highlights, which honestly felt like a really good price for everything they did. Everyone was really nice and attentive, and they still try to take care of you even if you're a walk-in. It does get pretty busy though, so I'd definitely recommend going earlier if you can. Really good value for the price and we loved how her hair turned out! :))))

    My first experience here was phenomenal. They got very close to the platinum blonde I wanted, and I…read moreleft extremely happy. Because of that, I returned for what was supposed to be a simple root touch-up. Before starting the second appointment, I've received compliments from other hair stylists on how healthy my hair was. I've consistently been told my hair is thin but healthy, and I've worked very hard to maintain it. Unfortunately, this visit was the complete opposite experience. I was at the salon for over six hours, significantly longer than my first visit. Multiple stylists were working on and checking my hair throughout the process, and I trusted that everything was going smoothly. No one checked in with me to approve the color before beginning to blow dry. When I finally saw the result, it was far from the platinum blonde I requested. Instead, my hair was left an orange-toned blonde. I had gone in for a root retouch, but they dyed my entire head without discussing that with me first. After I expressed concern about the color, I was suddenly told my hair was "very damaged" and breaking easily -- despite having complimented its health before starting. I was then told I needed a keratin treatment in order to proceed. This was not something I requested or agreed to; I was told it was necessary after the damage had already been done. During the wash, I could physically feel excessive pulling, and when I stood up, I saw a significant amount of my hair had fallen out. It was heartbreaking, especially after taking so much care of my hair. They attempted to adjust the tone, and while it became somewhat more acceptable, I ultimately left just blonde -- not the platinum blonde I originally had and specifically asked for. There was no apology, no acknowledgment of the distress caused, and no adjustment to the bill. I paid full price for a service I was deeply unhappy with. To make matters worse, I later received a voicemail asking me to return and pay for the keratin treatment -- something I never wanted and was told I "needed" after their mistake. Even in that message, there was no apology. My first experience was wonderful, which makes this even more disappointing. Unfortunately, after this visit, I will not be returning

    Absolutely the worst salon experience I've ever had…read more Do yourself a favor and do NOT come here for balayage, bleaching, or any type of color service. They make a lot of promises at the consultation, but once they start working on your hair it's clear they don't actually know what they're doing. First of all, they did not even do a test strand, which is the most basic step when you're bleaching someone's hair. Instead, they went straight into it and completely fried and burned my hair. My hair is now damaged because of their negligence. The color I ended up with looked NOTHING like what I asked for. I showed them clear inspiration pictures, and what I got was a completely different color and tone. It honestly looks like something a beginner would do at home, not something you pay salon prices for. To make it even worse, the whole service felt rushed and careless. It felt like they were trying to get me out of the chair as fast as possible instead of actually doing the job properly. And the most ridiculous part? They still expected me to pay the full price after completely ruining my hair. I attached pictures of what I asked for vs. what I got, because it's honestly shocking.
