My first time here and I had a wonderful experience. Brianna cut my hair and she was so attentive…read moreand thorough. All the other hair stylists also seemed wonderful and very good at their work. I loved the aesthetic of the entire place. Definitely the best place in Ithaca I have found! Highly recommend.

Ithaca has slim pickings for Afro/black hair. A black employee at the local university suggested I…read morecheck this place out. I stopped by a week before and spoke to Eugene (very nice receptionist) to see if Ivy Beauty Lounge could straighten my hair and how much it would cost. First red flag- we can do your hair but we don't have a set price. You have everything else listed but didn't think to write the price to service black hair texture? Ok....... He says, "usually its $30-40 but for you it may be a little bit more." Cool I figured it may be at most $80 whatever. I was in a crunch and needed my hair straighten! They did accomodate me based on my hectic first week of school schedule. Hence the 1 star... I got to the shop and was a bit nervous about Kierra working on my hair. Never had a non black woman do my hair so I was being open. Our hair needs different care and skillset. In her defense, she tried and she gets an A for effort. Kierra is done and I head to the Eugne/ receptionist and he says, "that'll be $140." Just straighten. No treatment, trim /cut etc. I was SHOOKED! How do we go from $30 for whites customers hair to $140 for me and say its because yours took longer? I was in and out within 2 hours. So I handed him my card and tipped her and walked out in disbelief. By the time I walked across the street and waited for the bus, I could feel my hair swelling up. The next day was professional headshots and lets just saying my hair didn't hold up. The ends were frazzled. Pretty upset that I was charged triple to do my hair (not included tip might I add). It doesn't justify a "little bit" more. I moved from Brooklyn to Ithaca for grad school and I could get a proper silk press and my hair is LAID for less than this and ACTUALLY holds up for $80! Trim included! Should've trusted my instincts and just drove back to NYC. If you're a black person and can do hair, there's a market here in Ithaca for you!

If you are looking for a full service salon where you won't be disappointed, I highly recommend…read moreStudio B in Ithaca, NY! I see the owner, BRIDGET for highlights/lowlights, trim and a blowout. Pretty simple, right? You would think so but I have searched high and low from Ithaca, Miami, NYC and LA (all the places that I have lived) and paid as much as $400 for this same service! Bridget is phenomenal and the price is beyond reasonable. Do yourself a favor and skip all the trouble by calling Studio B! Hanna, the aesthetician also does nails, eyelash extensions, permanent makeup and more! Hannah did an amazing job on my eyebrows and upper lash liner! She is extremely detail oriented and fun to talk to. Her space is very relaxing and clean. I trust her completely!
