    #NappSNAPPED

    I almost cut my locs because it's so hard for a great studio that's professional, friendly, and clean. I came across NappStar on socials, the owner seemed very nice and they had great marketing. Fair prices and in the middle of the city (PATH friendly). When I arrived, the space was vibrant and full of great energy. All the stylists were smiling, great music and clean. My stylist Nema warmly greeted me and cared for me from the wash to styling. I felt at home and secure in seeing everyone with loccs. I left feeling brand new and professional. I returned two more times and was lucky to meet the owner, so bubbly and kind. My new favorite place #NappSNAPPED

    My experience was stressful and disappointing. Initially I was attracted to the unique repair, rebuild and extension process they advertise. I have a few stubborn locs that I wanted to tend to. So I booked a consultation and was told what was possible. This information during the consult was not communicated to the stylist. It was very apparent. I arrive for my appointment and the stylist was still doing someone else's hair. After 15mins of my appointment time, she stops to do my hair. You can tell when someone doesn't want to do your hair or they don't agree with what it happening. I tried to remain optimistic but overall I felt like an inconvenience and when I made mention of my displeasure of the service to the stylist, she basically ignored and dismissed my concern and eventually moved on to finish what she was doing when I arrived. I know Im just another customer to the salon but my locs mean a lot to me. I wish I was given the effort, time and attention that others seem to get but I wasn't. After this the manager came to fix what the stylist wouldn't consider redoing but only to be reassured that they could fall out. Which made me question everything. At this point I just wanted to leave right away. So I paid and left. I would hate for anyone to be treated like I was so I can't recommend this place. The work looks amazing but beneath the hype the energy is chaotic and the tension between management and the stylists is very apparent. In total I spent over $100 for consult/loc repairs/extensions that I should expect to come out.

    Nappstar did there big one on me!

    I was extremely pleased with getting my locs down here. The stylist was very nice and the vibe was amazing!!! Definitely going back

Appointments became rushed, started late, and lacked even basic professionalism. You're barely greeted when you walk in, and the overall tone makes it feel like you're inconveniencing them just by being there. I told them multiple times I had a head injury from a concussion and the lack of care was very concerning how abrasively they washed and handled my head. My most recent appointment was a complete failure. I asked for a warm, golden brown and came prepared with multiple reference photos. While the color was processing, I clearly flagged that it was pulling purple. That concern was dismissed, and the product was left on longer. The result was the darkest my hair has ever been, almost black with a cool, purple hue. The exact opposite of what I requested. The color job is all mismatched, the lower part of my hair significantly darker, the roots are sloppy and uneven. When I pointed this out, the response was defensive and dismissive. At one point, I was sarcastically asked if I wanted to "bleach it," which is an inappropriate and careless suggestion for already fine hair. It was mind blowing to have this handled so poorly and then be rushed through a cut that does not look anywhere close to the quality of the past cuts. I followed up requesting a refund, given that this will take months to correct and fade, and received no response for over 48 hours. It's not even about the money - it's about the severe lack of respect. What's most surprising is that this level of defensiveness and lack of accountability was unacceptable, especially after such a grave mistake. Instead of thoughtful adjustment and ownership, the response was dismissive in the moment and silent afterward. Mistakes happen. How they're handled is what defines a business. This was not handled well. NYC has no shortage of salons that can deliver both technical skill and professionalism. This is not one of them. Updating this with a pic and additional NYC HAIR SALON SEO terms so future customers are warned since the salon has decided to block me after no satisfactory resolution. The pic at the top right was me pre-hair f*** up. Only come to this salon if you'd like to come home and cry.

Every appointment begins with a careful consultation--she checks how I'm doing, how my style and color are lasting, and examines my hair to see if the look still suits me. Since I like new styles and colors, she always asks what I have in mind. With an expert eye, she adapts each cut and color to my face shape, hair texture, and skin tone. Yelena welcomes my ideas while remaining honest, professional, and genuinely concerned about hair health. If my request isn't possible or advisable, she explains why and suggests options. She is focused and strives for perfection. Her upbeat energy makes every visit delightful. It is an indulgent experience. As salon manager, she treats every appointment as personalized, not routine. Quality and consistency are remarkable--I get outstanding results every visit. Her loyal client list speaks volumes. She keeps her skills up to date and stays ahead of trends while maintaining her own chic, sophisticated style. After 20 years as Yelena's client, I confidently recommend her to anyone seeking a stylist who treats hair as art and creates a look uniquely tailored to you. Yelena truly is unmatched.

    I needed a hair cut and style on a Saturday. I requested an appointment online two weeks in advance…read more(they had plenty of availability) and they confirmed it the next day. Super easy and convenient. My stylist was Senait and she was fabulous! I showed her pictures of my past haircuts I liked and she did a superb job recreating it. She was friendly and talkative without feeling like she had to talk to me the entire time. She did a fantastic job and I will absolutely go back to see her again. The whole appointment (wash, cut, dry and style) took about an hour and cost $95 (I have relatively long hair, I believe they quote a price range to account for length). The salon itself was busy and a bit loud. It is very bright (likely because they do hair and makeup) and felt more like a party rather than a relaxing place/spa. They have a ton of staff so I was taken back right away. When I went, both men and women were there for haircuts and someone was getting their makeup done. I would absolutely go back and go to Senait again.

    I came in for a trim, and discussed with my hair stylist that I wanted to mostly keep my length and…read morethe long layers. Before starting, we both agreed that the length was good (she'd just trim split ends) and that she'd reduce the layers I already had. She ended up cutting a lot more than we agreed, and I have lots of layers (more than before, that feel a little choppy). This isn't what I asked for at all, and I'm especially unhappy because we agreed on what to do before, and I mentioned I have a family wedding coming up and I wanted to make sure my hair is what I wanted leading up to it.
