    The hair salon
    Carolina N.

    The space itself is beautiful. It has a great location and a nice view onto 5th Avenue. Even though it looks like it will be a bit snooty when you walk in, it is so low key and relaxing. There aren't 5 million people running around, so you are able to not be frantic while getting your hair done. This review is for Dina and Laura, who recently started at L'Appartement. I did a single process color with Laura, who is always amazing. She has been doing my color for about a year and always listens to what I want and makes suggestions based on that. I wanted to go back to my natural color, and the color she mixed came out amazing. Dina has been cutting my hair for about 5 years, and she is amazing. She tells you how to best take care of your hair, and is really attentive to her clients. She is extremely meticulous and takes serious pride in her work. I had a great experience here.

    Madison and Tina, at L'Appartement, are hands down the best color and cut team in NYC. I am able to explain exactly the look I want, and they listen! And they still are able to explain how the style will/won't work with my hair (without talking down to me) and figure out a way to get the look I am going for. In the past, I have been pressured in to going for a style that I didn't particularly because of pressure and attitude from a stylist. With Madison and Tina, I am absolutely glowing every time I leave the salon, and normally I am SUPER DISAPPOINTED AND UNDERWHELMED and I have gone to the best. I have sent several friends their way with the same history, and they ALL feel that way. Madison's color is absolutely on point, not to mention I can trust her to go for the tones and placement that work best for my coloring/time of year. I don't even tell her what I want anymore I'll show her a few pics and let her work her magic. Tina understands her clients and each time she has given me a SUBSTANTIAL haircut (I'm the girl that has hair down past my back) and left me HAPPY to have gotten rid of the weight. & Her "sexy dent" is the best blowout in the city, and this is coming from a girl who would prefer to let her hair dry then get a blowout after a treatment. I most recently did Tina's "Hair Botox" and it has SAVED my hair. Air dries in half the time, and remains soft even through the 3rd day, where before it would feel like horse hair. I was just there a month or so ago and I am trying to justify getting something done, because I always leave feeling my best self. Not to mention, they are absolutely LOVELY, super knowledgeable and well connected to their clients. For those who are curious and in the same boat- here's a bit of history. When it comes to self care, I am happy to shell out a bit more $ for quality service and products. But I really hate to go to super well known & expensive salons and stylists, only to be given no attention and sub par treatments, all the while being charged an arm and a leg and served a nasty attitude. Ive always left feeling underwhelmed and disappointed and totally ripped off. I have naturally "good" hair, so leaving a salon happy with the results shouldn't be that difficult. Most recently, I had been seeing Nunzio and Stephanie from Nunzio Saviano - I liked Nunzios haircut (mild term for a $300+ cut), but I was treated as if I was beneath his other clients and my appointment would span hours after the salon would squeeze these women in between my color cut and blowout (by an assistant), despite being a regular customer every 3 months! and the color was mediocre at best. You shouldn't feel that way when your spending a weeks paycheck on a hair appointment. My experience with Tina and Madison at L'Appartement has been the complete opposite and I will be sending everyone I know their way.

    The salon is beautiful. I felt like I was getting my hair done at Blair Waldorf's apartment. The staff is very professional, friendly, and very attentive without being overbearing. I went in for highlights, and Nora did a fantastic job at creating depth and dimension in my over-processed blackish reddish thick, coarse asian hair. The color is subtle, but I wanted it lighter so I knocked off a star. It's also about twice the cost of most other salons, so keep that in mind. P.S. They have the best coffee here. No styrofoam cups and milk packages. They bring out a tray with french pressed coffee in a cute cup+saucer with actual cream!

    Balayage by Christine and blowdry by Mie (day time lighting in the car)
    Ying C.

    I got the balayage highlight of my dreams from Christy at this salon. The blowdry I got from Mie looks amazing even after I had my hair covered in heavy winter jacket hoodie (it's 3 degrees out) and slept on it overnight. Check out the photos! Here is a more detailed review of L'Appartement Hair Boudoir, Location: It's located on 57th St between the the fa$hionable 5th Ave and Madison Ave. 2 minute walk from N/Q/R and 4/5/6. Take in all that high-end de$igner store window $hopping (or actual shopping if you're having a great month at work, just don't be late to your appointment!). After signing in at the front desk of building, take the elevator up to the 7th floor, and voila, you're here. The Salon: As soon as you stepped out of the elevator, you will find yourself in this spacious and super fancy-classy-luxurious salon. There are crystal chandeliers everywhere, gorgeous antique-designed chairs and mirrors, private hair working stations (you will not be seated right next to another client in the room), and of course, completed with the forever-classy Audrey Hepburn pictures and art works. They have this delicous yummy candles lit throughout the whole salon. Oh, and they even go as far as using ACTUAL HAND TOWELS in the restroom, and nicely rolled up, of course. Checking-in: The front desk check-in is friendly, and didn't look at me twice when I gave them my coupon from one of those discount deal websites. They asked me to change into a robe, and then took my drink order after I sat down. Christy, the colorist: I came in half-an-hour early for my appointment, and my colorist Christy was able to see me right away. She introduced herself and greeted me nicely with a hand shake. I showed her a picture of what I wanted, and she told me how much she could realistically lighten to my very dark Asian hair. It was my first time here, so honestly, I got a little nervous because I was afraid the colors would come out too dark (happened before in a previous salon). But I decided to trust her anyway since we won't know for sure until we try, right? Balayage highlight technically uses a "foil-free and painted on" method, but she told me she's concerned the dye might dry out before it can reach the ideal shade for lighteniing my very dark hair, so she asked me if it's okay if she uses the foil. For me, as long as the colors look great, she could wrap bacon around my hair for all I care (I told her okay, and managed to save that last comment just for you, my dear fellow Yelpers). She worked quickly and quietly while I emerged myself in magazines and the current top 40 hits in the background. After she was done putting the color in my hair, I was asked to wait for some 15-20 minutes. She came to check on me once, and told me to wait for another few minutes before Mie, my blowdry stylist, came to fetch me for a rinse. It was a little unsettling that Christy didn't check on my hair one last time right before the rinse, but I kept my benefit of doubt anyway. Mie, shampoo and blowdry: Mie introduced herself, and ask me to follow her to the washing station. She made sure I was comfortable with both of my neck and water temperature. The water pressure was nice and strong, and the temperature stayed nice and consistent throughout (definitely not like your typical NYC apartment shower). After a quick rinse, Christy checked on my hair, and asked Mie to put some toner and glaze on my hair. Mie asked me to wait for 10 minutes, and came back to rinse everything off. After a brief discussion of how I wanted my blowdry (wavy on the bottom, overall volume), Mie started to blowdry my hair. She was friendly, and we had a nice conversion (even though it can be hard to hear each other with the loud blowdryer right next to us). The Result: My hair was styled to perfection by Mie, and the color came out waaaaay better than what I had expected. Christine came to check on it, and told me I can get the result I want from the pictures with future coloring session to layer with my current color. It may not look like the picture 100%, but I thought my hair actually looked better than any of the pictures I showed her in the beginning. Mie's blowdry stayed strong throughout the day (after wearing winter jacket hoodie over it constantly), and even after a night of sleep! Be sure to check out the photos. This salon is a gem! Update: Mie's blowdry lasted 5 days for me!

    Before and after. Hair color by Jordan and haircut by Mica.
    Glenna D.

    I came in for a hair colour and cut for the first time. Jordan gave me a single process and a highlight which transformed my hair. I am so much happier with the colour, and he eliminated all of the brassiness and created a much more manageable look. Mica did the cut and blow out and created a beautiful and elegant style which has made my busy NYC life so much easier. Highly recommend both Jordan and Mica. This is my new home!

    I wanted subtle highlights and Andrew executed my vision perfectly!!
    Mo J.

    Andrew is a genius at color, and he also happens to be incredibly sweet, charming and witty! I love this salon - it is unbelievably beautiful inside, and everyone is surprisingly down to earth and approachable. I also got a blowout done by Tina, and she did a wonderful job and was so easy and fun to talk to. I highly, highly recommend this salon. A true gem.

    L'Appartment hair Boudoir carries the full line of Oribe hair care :D Can't put a price on ur hair!!!
    Gabriella Y.

    I had a pretty bad haircut from someone prior. I got an amazing haircut w Ahn Tran.. He managed to give me beautiful subtle layers & refreshed my whole look. Also picked up their Oribe hair care system..

    Guillaume created a beautiful Up-Do for a special night!

It truly creates a relaxing atmosphere. However, I've noticed that the quality of the mani & pedi has declined over the years, which has made me hesitant to return, even though it's in the most convenient location for me. These days when I returned, it's just for last minute color change to avoid more damage. I referred a friend to join me for a mani/pedi once, and she also mentioned that while the ambiance is great, but the owners should get their own mani & pedi done by their technicians, which I completely agree with. While I usually don't like getting my cuticles pushed or cut, I really appreciate that they respected that preference. However, when it comes to removing polish, it's done very recklessly with a lack of attention to detail. On several occasions, they've scraped the skin around the nails--sometimes cutting it to the point where it bled and required a bandage. When I mentioned this to the hostess after she asked for feedback, she dismissed it by saying I have sensitive skin. Since when is it normal for skin to be scraped during a mani/pedi? Additionally, I've had gel mani here twice in a row, and the technician over-shaved to the point where my nails ended up paper-thin that I have to ask the technician to apply extra coats to make up for it. One time, the technician even touched my skin with the machine that is used to shave the gel polish off. I've also had my skin scraped during pedicures, which is concerning. Every time I get a gel mani, within two weeks, the polish would start to lift on the cuticle side, which shows a lack of precision during the application. My friend got a regular mani & pedi here, and one of her nails chipped within a day. While I still love the atmosphere and the owners, the decline in the quality of the services, especially regarding polish removal, nail care, and attention to detail, has made me hesitant on coming back.

The interior design of the space is what pulled my attention when walking up 9th Ave. It is chic yet accessible and never approaches being or feeling gaudy. Very clean look (and space). Great color palate used. Very comfortable chairs. Good use of white space accentuated with green angular paint and golden decals and other ornamentations, all done minimally and with purposeful placement. Carmen (my nail tech) made good efforts and took obvious care to give me a nice buff manicure, all for only $27 (+ a small amount of tax). No nips or cuts. No pain. Textbook technique. Picked up well on when I wanted to zen out to the aura of the space and the well-curated spa playlist vs when I was open to a little nail tech kiki. Loved the sugar scrub they use for the hand massage. I take ownership for not getting the pre-cuticle work nail soak as part of the provided service. IMO, if a nail salon doesn't automatically incorporate the soak into your mani, you as the customer should speak up when the softening gel is pulled out and before it is applied. If they don't offer it? That's another thing. But I didn't test those waters and cannot speak to Nail Me Right (goodness gravy I love the business name!). So, keep in mind if the soak is your thing. They were very accommodating from the moment I arrived until I left. So I have a hunch this request wouldn't be a problem. Same with the end result. You as the customer are responsible for checking your nails / hands / feet / whatever before ending the appointment. I was late for my next appointment and did not, later seeing I would've like a little extra work done where the far end of nail edges meets the finger and a shinier buff applied. Again, I am quite sure Carmen would have accommodated had I done my part and spoken up before leaving. Still, I woke up the next morning to those slight extra bits naturally working themselves out (which points to the moisturizing measures NMR applies being of good quality), and my hand looking nice. I plan to pop in next time I'm in the area and in the market for some nail / hand / foot love, and hope you'll consider doing the same to support this family and what they're working to bring to the neighborhood.
