Plus 5 i love Beatriz she has been cutting my hair for over 15 years I will travel longer distances for Beatriz

I hadn't gotten my haircut in a salon since 2018 and realized it was time for a change. Renata did a fantastic job on my layered lob and did exactly what I asked for. She gave me the exact length I was looking for and put in some good layers for texture. I'm very happy with my haircut and will definitely be back! The haircut was $45 and included a wash, cut, and blow dry afterwards. Very worth it. read more

Kosa - Hair by Renata - Hair Salons Near Me - Astoria, New York

I have been going here for years. Everybody treats you like family here, so I always have such an amazing experience every visit. The owner Nick is a sweetheart, and also extremely talented. Have been going to him for years, and he instinctively knows when I need a change in hairstyle. Truly it is just perfect. More recently I have been going to Beatrice due to a change in my schedule I love being able to go to a salon and not to have to worry about making sure that a specific individual is there, and not wondering about the outcome. All the staffers there are really quite talented. And it just elevates the experience to another level. Beatrice can work magic, believe me! Especially so on fine, unruly hair. And she is just as sweet as can be. Location is great too and easily accessible by a number of trains. Really, everyone here is just the best. Considering I have been going here since the time of "Giorgio's", I am so proud of Nick! He has truly elevated the customer service experience and I cannot recommend this place enough you guys. read more

I love this place because my hair dresser I've been seeing since I'm 14 is here. Her name is Irene and she does a hell of a job. You can make appointments with or be lucky and walk in and she is free. It's a sizable space to do hair. I didn't use the bathroom here because I had been sitting for 3 hours while she blessed me with beautiful hair. I always just let her do what she wants because she knows what she is doing. My hairdresser is a perfectionist and it shows. I like that I'm able to hit her up via text and not have to deal with staff to make appointments. Also the other lady that does hair here that is awesome is Beatrice. She does my mothers hair. The staff is on point with cleaning up cut hair. I noticed the place had a minimal amount of people for a Friday morning. The music was pretty chill and not to loud. I'm impressed with this location. read more

Great place!!! Had a great time and my hair was done perfectly! Highly recommend Kosa Salon.

Kosa has cut my hair a few times now and every-time they've given me exactly what I want. They are inexpensive with their pricing , and very friendly people work there. Thanks Kosa! read more

I got a very good haircut here! It was also very reasonably priced. My one minor complaint would be that the hairstylist pushed back when I wanted to have my hair cut shoulder-length. I appreciate the compliment that she thinks my hair is beautiful and wants it to be long, but I ended up not getting quite the cut I wanted because I felt like I had to compromise with her on length. I think if someone goes in there with a very strong idea of what they want and the frame of mind to just say, nope, I want what I want - they will get it. I just crumbled when the stylist insisted a bit more than made me comfortable that I keep it longer. I do recommend this place, but go in knowing exactly what you want and be willing to put your foot down about it, or you might end up walking out with something you didn't *quite* want. read more

Walked in for my appointment, explained what I wanted to the stylist- bangs redone, long layers throughout, pretty straightforward. I hadn't gotten a haircut at a salon since before covid lockdown, so I had cut it myself a few times at home but was eager to go back to a salon and have it professionally done. I should have known things were going to be bad when I mentioned layers and my stylist was like "only in the front, right?" Like what? I have never had a stylist say that before. I'm asking you to give me a haircut... for my entire head. My hair was moderately long (a bit past my shoulders) and thick. No, I did not want layers "only in the front", whatever that means. I indicated this to her and said I wanted an inch or two taken off. She got to washing my hair and asked if she could put a leave-in treatment in and that it would take 2-3 minutes. I said sure. She puts the product in and then went over to chat with the woman by the front desk for closer to 7-8 minutes while looking through her phone. Another bad sign. Finally I'm in the chair and she's cutting my hair very quickly and it's clear I'm not getting any layers, and also only getting about half an inch taken off. I never uttered the word "trim" once when describing what I wanted but I barely even got that. She said she was "cutting off the dead ends" but hardly anything was changed... when I got home and investigated my hair there were still very much many "dead ends" to be found. The cut was "done" and my hair looked exactly the same. At this point I was so irritated with the whole experience that I just wanted to get out of there. At least my hair will be nicely blow-dried, I thought to myself. But even that couldn't be done right. Typically stylists will get my hair a bit dry overall first and then go in with the circle brush and dry it straight. I thought that was what was being done, but after waving the dryer around my head, my stylist left my hair in its poofy state and proceeded to put globs of heavy product in while not even properly parting it. I left with my hair going every which way, virtually unchanged or possibly worse than from when I walked in, and weighed down with product. 0 stars. Stay very far away from this place. Possibly the most disappointing and absurd experience I have ever had at a hair salon. read more

The ladies here are extremely rude and they don't like to handle ethnic hair. They bumped the price up three times and I don't even know why. They then proceeded to burn my hair. My curls are sensitive and I'm hoping they didn't suffer any heat damage. Very unprofessional and impatient. They wanted to tend to other customers that arrived after me, before me. Never going back. What a rip off. read more

so good! went in to get a cut with Renata and she did not disappoint! my hair looks so much healthier and 100% revived by her amazing haircut skills! was in and out of there by 40 minutes, (mind you, my hair was very coarse and dry yet she managed to keep it hydrated and clean!) 10/10 experience will definitely be back again!! read more

Walked into here on a whim and was greeted by a friendly stylist. I forgot her name (last chair right side long blonde hair) she had me seated in less than 10 minutes I showed her a pic of what I wanted and she mimicked the layers and almond round back to a T. Beautiful cut will be back for her service. read more

I have not gotten my hair done in months and 2 days ago my hair was in serious need of being resurrected and I came into Kosa to only have the lovely and very personable Beatriz do my hair and give me soooo much LIFEEE! I loved my hair from the color, to the conversation to the cut and the blow dry the services was above excellent. Plus the compliments I have received since my service is just as rewarding. The prices are reasonable and I recommend Beatriz to be your go to stylist/colorist! I love her and cannot thank her enough! read more

I'm so thankful for it. It made my hair appear so full and voluptuous , thank you Beatriz! 10/10 recommend read more

Everyone that works at this Salon is absolutely amazing. They all show so much love for what they do and they make every single experience I have had there so enjoyable. They go above and beyond to make me feel relaxed and comfortable. Tanya always does my hair. She has saved my hair many times from at home dye experiments that have gone wrong... she is the best ! Highly recommended! Super positive experience always read more

Tania did the Goldwell Keratin treatment on my hair on Saturday at 4p. It was my first time at this salon and I was a bit nervous because I am Dominican so my roots are very coarse. I was referred here by a coworker whose hair looked amazing right after the treatment. I am beyond happy with my experience. The staff was so friendly and welcoming. I was there for 4 hours and felt very comfortable. They are extremely knowledgeable about hair and actually care about the products they are using. I will definitely be back here in three months for another treatment!! read more

I love Tanya! She's fantastic with color:) she does my blow dry and I love it!! Always leave happy:) Kosa is the best new addition to Steinway read more

I love my haircut! The hairstylist (from Montenegro) is incredibly helpful in finding the best haircut for me, patiently explaining the different styles that will best suit my lifestyle and personality. It also helps that he is so easy to talk to and connect. The lady who prepped my hair before the haircut is also very friendly. Overall I love my whole Kosa experience and will definitely be coming back for all my hair needs. I highly recommend this place! read more

I needed a last minute cut and decided to see if they would take a walk in, and they did. Everyone was very friendly and the salon is lovely and very clean. Beatriz was like an old friend, very sweet and gave me an excellent hair cut and explained what she was doing and why which I appreciated. She worked with both my face shape and hair type. I will be back. read more

Let me start by saying how happy I am that my girl Tania opened up the door of a salon today on a Sunday her day off and the day when salon is actually closed during hot summer days, to accommodate me and my available time due to the fact that's my only day off! I've been coming her for months now to get a keratin treatment and a haircut by Tania who is the sweetest person but a professional at what she does. The vibe in this salon is very positive, everyone's so friendly and fun to spend few hours of your time with while getting your hair all pretty and stuff so I couldn't be more happier and thankful than I am to have found such an amazing salon with amazing people who go out of their way for their clients. Thank you Kosa and thank you Tania I love you girl! read more

I have been going to KOSA and getting my hair done for a few years now ever since my hair styles, Beatriz started there. I've been with her for over 10 years when she was working at Gorgious. It's a beautiful inviting place, with friendly atmosphere. The staff are nice and very accommodating. There are other styles who use to work at Gorgious too. Beatriz is the best stylest on the planet, she works with your schedule, she's friendly, highly intelligent when it comes to her knowledge of her hair. If she gives you advice take it you will never regret. Beatriz gives you high quality service and her full attention, she listens to her customers and everyone who sits in her chair gets amazing service with a smile, a laugh, premium service. I wouldn't trust anyone else to do my hair! So come in to KOSA and see for yourself, I guarantee ladies you won't be sorry! read more

I will start by saying that I have been to this salon several times now (haircuts, color, keratin treatment). Beware, this post will be long, so you can skip to the end, the middle is just details (I like details). My first time there was for a haircut, it was very detailed and the staff was very welcoming. Second time, I received another well done haircut. So I can say as far as haircuts go they get 5 stars. Then I went in for color, I specifically told the lady there I wanted a honey/chestnut/light brown. She suggested I get a balayage and I said ok sure why not. She also said she had to bleach my hair and I said ok. Then several hours later she blow dries my hair and it's a yellow/a bit brassy blonde and not just blonde (never asked for blonde btw) but it was also very uneven... I told her I wanted to tone it down and she just told me to come back the next day, so I did. She toned it but it was still blonde and uneven. (I will also like to add that I did show her pictures for color reference). So for color I give them 3 stars (I've had worse). I also came back for another process in hope that she could even it out but it didn't really help.. Fine, whatever, I guess I'll be blonde for a while now right?... So then the lady says I "need" a keratin treatment from all the bleaching she did. Hmm...I say ok, she's a hair stylist she must know what she's talking about. I go in for that keratin treatment and honestly what a waste for $300 dollars. My hair is about the same and I actually think olaplex is better for damaged hair. I would not recommended the keratin treatment. (Also want to add that when I came back 3 days later to wash and tone my hair after the keratin treatment. The lady was like "wow your hair is so much better" but tbh it wasn't. She then asked another lady for a hair mask and put it in my hair, then she brushes my hair and says "wow you can even brush it now"...I didn't say anything because I didn't even know what to say, but I mean who can't brush their hair when it has conditioner in it? If the keratin had worked why did she add a mask to my hair? I felt a bit embarrassed for her...) In conclusion, great haircuts, my experience with color sucked, keratin treatment was a waste. And I don't think I will be coming back. I was hesitant about writing this review but I just wanted to share my experience in case it would help anyone. Edit: forgot to mention the name of stylist, her name was Tanya. read more

Had a great haircut with Nick today! He really transformed my hair from being lifeless to having a lot of body and style. I am so glad to have found a hair salon in Astoria that I am wanting to go back to. Will definitely be coming back in the next few months! read more

Beatriz from Giorgio's is here and back on Steinway Street! Beatriz was the absolute star of the now closed Giorgio's and thankfully she is still in the neighborhood. She has been cutting my hair for literally 20+ years and I would never go anywhere else. She is honest and knows it all--color, cuts for your face shape, the latest techniques, etc. And she really knows how to fix problem hair--she brought mine back from the dead! Great shop, great prices, and Beatriz is the perfect addition! read more

Everyone in the salon is so sweet! You feel comfortable from the second you walk in. Beatriz gave me an incredible hot scissor haircut and is one of the nicest people I've ever met! She really took her time with me and made sure I was comfortable with how much length she was taking off for my trim. I will definitely be back. read more

I cut my hair at Kosa salon today and couldn't be happier with my experience and the results. The greatly talented Beatrice cut and styled my hair. Throughout the process she was consulting with me and making sure I approve before she cuts; this was a major plus for me since I've had my fair share of "scissor-crazy" hair dressers. Everyone at the salon was very sweet and made me feel right at home, there was none of that nasty salon attitude like other places. Their prices are very reasonable, and it was worth every dollar. I'm happy to have found a place I'm happy with and can trust with my hair. I greatly recommend this beautiful salon to all!! read more

First time going to this salon and I absolutely loved it. I just did a walk in on Friday afternoon. They were very accommodating and immediately sat me down for a wash and cut. My hair was very dead and dull(from all the coloring) I was hesitant to cut off a lot of my hair but the stylist worked with me for a good in between. Jenny cut off all my dead ends and gave me beautiful bouncy shiny layers. I feel like a million bucks! Would highly recommend this salon to anyone!!!! read more

Nic is amazing! Have been seeing Nic for years, first at Giorgio's and now at Kosa. Kosa is great, always a great experience.

I ended up having to cancel an appointment for a blow out elsewhere and was in a pinch to schedule a very last minute appointment for 7:30 on a Friday before an event. Kosa seemed like the only salon in Astoria to be open at that time. My blowout was $35 which I found to be on par with other salons in the area given my hair length. Everyone at the salon was so friendly and nice and Alexander did a beautiful job!! I told him I wanted a kind of loose wave and showed him a picture of my dress for the evening and he perfectly realized my vision. The only downside - I don't think he used heat protectant or other product in my hair besides hairspray to hold the curl, so my hair definitely felt a little damaged the next day. But, my hair looked amazing all night and I was in and out in about 40 minutes which was all that really mattered to me. read more

Went for a haircut, Nick is knowledgeable, experienced, and very attentive. Will be back.

Beatriz is a great hairstylist. She is the only one with the hot scissors in Astoria Queens. In NYC they charge $300 and she only charges $100 with blow-dry included. read more
