Oren is my favorite. He is a hair genius! He knew exactly what I wanted and gave me one of my favorite cuts of all time. Also does an amazing blow out. Shuli colored my hair and it came out amazing. Still getting compliments on the color almost a month later. Highly recommended!! read more

Terrific. Although as a guy my haircutting needs are modest, it's clear even with my cuts that Oren is a master of his craft. The salon is always relaxed, clean and professional. When I lived in Manhattan I was a client of several high end salons. This salon is as good as any of those. I highly recommend it. read more

I went there a couple of times. I didn't like the service. Too bad they are rude and overpriced.

Shouly knows my hair better than I do. She knows exactly what I like and what I don't like. Not only does she give me a great haircut she is my savior when it comes to doing the smoothing treatment every summer so I have frizz free hair for the humid months. I highly recommend her read more

I wish my experience would be better with this place. I asked for a blow dry with volume and some curls and ended up with simple curls done with an curling iron. Orlando assured me that in this way the curls will stay longer and I even left the place with bunch of hairpins in my head to let them curl even more. I was instructed to take the pins off when I get to the place of the event. So when I did, I was so disappointed. Not alone the hair did not curl but I spent an hour and a half at the place was away from home already to actually redo it myself. Honestly, I could have curl my hair at home much better rather than paying $60 for such a measurable job. There was no volume what so ever and hair was laying flat as if I just washed it and did not even dry. Will not be coming back read more

Wasn't the happiest with my cut when I walked out, but wanted to wait for a few days to see if it settles down. But, there is no settling in. Wanted my hair short so it's easy to handle in the summer. However, Oren chopped it way way shorter than I wanted. I wasn't asked of the length was fine before going chop chop chop. I wanted asymmetrical, but I've got a stale uneven cut which only parts one way. The place is not too large so it's difficult to hear the customer because of the hairdryer and tap sounds. I wish stylists would spend just 5-10mins patiently understanding what customers wanted, instead of being an assembly line. We'd leave so happy. That's not to much to ask when you're paying $60. Sigh! (There wasn't one friendly face in the salon, not a single smile from anyone) read more

Thank you G-D for Shouly the only person I trust to cut my hair. She has incredible talent and amazing technique love love love

This is the first time since moving to Manhattan in 1999 that I've left my Manhattan salon. What took me so long! I spent a lovely day getting color, highlights and a perfect cut, and coffee was included! I'll be back! Thank you! read more

Just got another cut here...as always, say to Oren, "I need something new, shorter layers." and I get it done to perfection!!! read more

Oren Sassoon - Love It!!! - Blow Dry/Out Services Near Me - Forest Hills, New York

After being a client of Oren's from the past, growing up in FH, and seeing his work online I thought it looked amazing. I called during hours when the the salon was supposed to be open (4:00pm and they are open until 7:00) and received a VM and explained I was looking for a great color after going without due to COVID and asked if they had WIFI so that I could work whilst getting my color done. Not only did I never receive a call back from this salon that obviously doesn't need business, when I called them I got told by the person who sounded drugged out that answered the phone upon saying you are obviously too busy and you don't want customers as you don't call people back to receive a yes. I am glad your salon is so busy that you don't call back your potential customers. It sounds like an awesome business plan and must be good to have such a thriving business in a sea of Forest Hills salons that always look busier than yours. If I could give zero stars I would. So glad that you don't need clients and don't return calls requesting appointments. I likely have a job that is $300 plus but who needs money anyway? read more

I am from San Francisco and moved to Kew Gardens last year. I had to find a new stylist in NY. I tried two other salons and was not happy. I walked by Oren's place in Forest Hills and it looked great. Clean and stylish. This was about 4 or 5 months ago. I walked in and he did a color and blow dry. I've been a big fan ever since. He has my color down perfect! I also got high-lights last month. Perfect color. I got married a few weeks ago and everyone couldn't stop complimenting my hair color. Today: color, cut and blow-out. Excellent job again. I also like Oren's no bs personality and his very personable staff. read more

This morning, I woke up bright and early to see Oren! Oren was my hairstylist when I lived in Forest Hills. He was my hairstylist for a few years and I always loved his amazing talent, personality and kindness! I tried to look for him off and on for a few years ago but I was unsuccessful. The salon where he worked was now closed and I had no idea where to find him. The last time I saw him was about four years ago! I was so excited when I found him on yelp! Thank you Yelpers! I walked into Oren Sasson and after so long Oren remembered my name! From there on it was like I saw him yesterday. I feel like I found my long lost friend! Oren has a great selection of top notch hair products in his salon! Oren is well educated and trained in his field. When I was in my early mid 20s he gave me some insight into preserving the health of my hair. Oren truly takes his time and educates his clients. He is a perfectionist and listens to his clients. As I sat in his chair, I felt a sense of comfort in knowing that I can actually close my eyes and when I open them my hair will be beautiful! Oren gave me a beautiful haircut and a gorgeous blowdry! My hair looks amazing! The ladies that work with Oren are friendly and they make everyone feel at home. I can't wait to go back for a single process! I'm thrilled with my gorgeous cut! Oren talent and attention to detail makes him a one of a kind stylist! * The prices are affordable and inexpensive for the quality and care of what you receive with Oren as your hairstylist* If you want a personable, attentive expert hairstylist Oren is your stylist! Mazel Tov Oren! Your salon is beautiful! 2018 Update on my review, I moved from queens to Brooklyn almost two years ago and I commute 1.30 and a half on the train or 45 to 1 hr drive to have a haircut or a blow dry with Oren! Oren's talent is amazing and I appreciate him! My hair is beautiful and healthy thanks to Oren! I trust him 110% percent because he truly has your hair's health and beauty in mind. A true perfectionist! read more

I found Oren by accident after leaving my former hairdresser. I was looking for a salon my friend recommended and walked into the one across the street and found Oren. He was very professional and listened to what I wanted. After I got my first color and cut from him, I got marvelous compliments from family members who didn't know I had a new stylist. He is the only stylist I had who refuses to put peroxide in my hair when I color it. As I got to know him better I found him to be a very kind-hearted person. read more

I went in for a keratin treatment about a month ago and chose the formaldehyde-free keratin. They spoke highly about it and said that it would make my hair much smoother and would last at least 3-4 months depending on how often I washed. This treatment made my hair WORSE. In the first two weeks of having it my hair was falling out like crazy every time I shampooed. That has started to slow down, but my hair now gets greasy MUCH faster and is even more unmanageable than before the treatment. Before the treatment I was able to just blow dry my hair and have it come out nice and smooth. It took awhile but it came out nice without a straightener. Now my hair comes out extremely poofy and frizzy with blow drying and I am forced to straighten my hair to make it look decent. Please note- I did NOT use the wrong shampoo or conditioner after the treatment, I specifically bought both sulfate AND sodium chloride-free, as they instructed me to. So this is not the reason for why my hair is the way it is. It was 100% the keratin they did on me. I believe I wasted $350 for no good reason and would advise against getting it done. EDIT TO REVIEW AFTER OWNER'S COMMENT- Don't appreciate him saying that "there is no way" the treatment did this. It is very clear to me that this only started happening after I had the treatment done and implying that this is false is wrong on the owner's part. read more

Great experience. The salon is small, but clean and well organized. The prices are pretty comparable to the other salons around the area (the girl on the phone gave me a quote when I called). Best of all, he cut my hair exactly as I told him (and it looks great)! I have found my hair salon. read more

A jewel in Queens -- strictly 5-star , pristine boutique salon, the nicest people , 5-star cut, color and blow- out . Owner Oren Sassoon delivers the 'highest standard of service and superior results! 'Run to Oren Sassoon Beauty Salon do not walk ! GG ( a commutor from ny city) read more

I got my hair cut by Oren the weekend before Christmas and was very pleased by the cut. He re-shaped my long hair into a medium length bob. While he was not the most personable hair stylist I've ever been to, he did a great job. The salon was clean, well organized and I appreciated he did not try to up-sell me expensive products. Next time though, I will ask for a longer hair wash/scalp massage because that's my favorite part. Price was to be expected in Queens- $65 for cut and blow dry, which is expensive but typical. read more

I love coming here, everyone is so friendly and knows what they're doing...always. my hair is a hot mess and from the first time I ever walked in Vilma, Julie, and Oren have always made me look my best. The only salon worth going to in the area. read more

My luck wasn't so great here. I have curly hair, and sometimes - despite my requests beforehand - I end up with these choppy layers that look a lot better on straight hair. This happened at Oren, so I had to go elsewhere to get it evened out. Looks like other people have had much better experiences, so possibly just a bad cut? read more

COOL LOOKING PLACE - BUT EXPENSIVE, UNPROFESSIONAL AND INCONSISTENT QUALITY OF SERVICE. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY. What a shame. At first I was excited to see a new salon in the Forest Hills area -- we surely needed it -- and went to try them out when they opened. I was generally pleased with the first haircut (although it's very expensive for the area) and somewhat amused by Oren himself (the owner and stylist -- who reminds me a lot of Adam Sandler in Don't Mess with the Zohan). The decor is also clean, white, modern and very chill. Unfortunately, subsequent haircuts were not as well-done. Since his clientele has built up a little , Oren seems increasingly disinterested in doing a professional job and leaving the customer satisfied...and more concerned with fawning over his elderly yenta clientele or trying to sell you his "exclusive" line of over-priced hair gels. As a result, he's gotten sloppy and careless. Maybe if you plan to spend well over $100 or so and buy his complete line of expensive junk he may take more interest in YOUR hair, but I wouldn't bet your scalp on it. Sadly, they have about the same level of consistency as some generic place like Supercuts - for double the price. Good luck...as for me, I will not be returning. read more

I have been having my hair cut and colored by Oren for over 6 years. He is an excellent stylist I recently had a Brazilian Blowout Keratin treatment.. It was amazing My hair is smoother and more manageable than it has ever been in my life Thank you Oren (Shuli, Orens assistant is also wonderful) read more

I came here a while ago and had a terrible experience but I was honestly too afraid to post about it immediately because I thought it would be too obvious who it was. Then I forgot about it! So I'm not sure if the particular hairstylist (male, in his 20s) is still there. I have very straight, pretty easy-going hair. I had told him I had not gotten my hair cut professionally in years (this is my usual MO) and I knew it was probably not even. I just wanted some long layers. The haircut was fine, but he was an awful person to be around. While he combed my hair (with a comb so sharp and with such force I felt like my scalp was being lacerated) he kept *complaining* about it--that it was uneven--and when he encountered any knots he just forcibly raked through without holding the hair closer to the scalp to protect it from being torn out. I endured having my hair basically insulted and mistreated for a mediocre haircut that a student could do. read more

Always get a fantastic cut and color from Rose! Salon has a pleasant atmosphere, and convenient location.

I walked in on a Monday afternoon and I was able to get a haircut within 10 minutes. Oren did such an amazing job on cutting my hair! He did exactly what I wanted and knew what was best for my curly hair. I will be returning!!! read more

This salon is a neighborhood gem. Oren is the best bar none. I have been a client for several years now, and could not imagine my life without him. I trust him implicitly, and never have to give him much guidance. He always knows what works best for me. Since I have naturally curly, fine hair, he cuts my hair in such a way that I can wear it straight or curly, and it still looks good. Shouly and Vilma are great also. They have both cut my hair. Shouly gives amazing cuts and blowouts. She also has done Brazilian blowouts for me and I was very happy with the results. Everyone is super nice and professional, and you never leave there looking anything less than fabulous! read more

Got a last minute appointment. Waited a little but was worth it. Oren did a great job. You can tell he has experience the way he cuts also. Thanks for making this exhausted mom of two feel a bit more refreshed! Will be back for sure. And the oribe hair products are on point! read more

So when i got there to have my hair color (always had my mom to color my hair eversince), i was pretty scared how it would turn out. Annnddddd....... i was extremely satisfied!!! Ive never been happy! They know what to do and they're professionals! highly recommended! read more

Finally, FINALLY I love my hair!!! Oren is the best and my hair has never looked better - from the cut to the color! Highly recommended!!

I have been going to this salon for a little over a year. They are very talented and do amazing work. I always have seen Shouly for my color & cuts, highly recommend. She really listens to what you want and gives her input and advice. I have also seen Rose twice only for blowouts, she is great as well. This salon provides the quality you would expect from an upscale Manhattan salon without the high price tag. Try it for yourself. read more

Awesome job . Thank you . Very nice people, They listen to what you want , and focus on you . Great costumer service .

I won't be going back. I ask for a black cherry single process and left with almost black hair. The red tone didn't come out until 6 weeks later and just shortly before I have to re- dye my hair. Thanks! Also I went in for a hair cut as well but was so unhappy with the service & the fact that they were going to make me wait longer to cut some other persons hair that they were obviously friends with I just left. read more

Once again Shouly managed to get the exact color and texture just by looking at a photo that I showed her. Im so happy with the results and will be going back for a trim really soon. read more

Si I decided to go from a brunette to blond aka= A PROJECT! Shuly took care of me from beginning to end with so much attention to detail, Oren cut my hair also making sure my new blond was good, & Esther constantly making sure I was comfortable since I was like for like 5 hours! Love my new look! Definitely will return. read more

I love Oren's salon. It's small, clean, pretty and the big plus of his talented hands. I never liked big hair salon, I prefer a small local business that has a selected clientele. I moved away about 11 months ago and my hair is suffering from Oren's abstinence. I haven't found a new place to get my haircut. My hair misses you Oren. read more

Being new to the area, I was researching for a place to get my hair cut. After seeing the reviews I decided to give Oren Sassoon a go. Shouly, my stylist carefully followed my instructions on how I wanted my hair cut and made me feel comfortable throughout the whole process. Definitely glad I came here! Highly recommend!! read more

Oren does a wonderful job with my bleach! And I have dark hair, and he gets it blond! He fits me in between my crazy schedule. Takes his time and gives me a wonderful blow dry. His staff are fun and friendly. The salon is sleek and clean, using only the BEST products- Oribe and Kerastase which speaks for itself, because those brands will only be represented by the best salons! Convenient location right off the LIRR forest hills stop or E train at 71st and continental. I highly recommend seeing Oren. read more

Just moved in the neighborhood, had been looking for a hair stylist knowledgeable in the proper hair care for my curly hair and that would also more importantly get my hair back to being healthy from years of damage, excessive bad keratin treatments, heat damage, stress as well as environmental damage from the different climates I had been traveling through these past couple years. I had been researching salons n stylist via yelp n other media since moving in a couple months ago. Although a bit nervous n apprehensive due to my past experiences, I called and made an appointment for a thorough face to face consultation n a simple wash n blow out with Oren. I can honestly tell you I am completely happy with my first experience at the salon and with the outcome of my hair. I finally feel restored!! Oren took time to listen to my concerns, mishaps along with my hair history n cared enough to even ask about the stress factors that contributed to my weak, breakage n dry brittle hair which was even falling out when I tell you I had a major fro going on and had been depressed thinking I would soon need to cut more length off. When I got there which was a bit early they all welcomed me Alex introduced himself offered to take my coat, listened, offered me a drink and took time to explain the products used at the salon. Oren soon took time in between clients and examined my hair texture and listen and asked questions. Alex then washed my hair and took me to Oren who was waiting, he immediately addressed my previous concerns, gave me his input n recommend. My hair immediately felt silky soft in a natural way which is how I prefer.... He understood my concerns and wasn't pushy about any of the services they offer. Lastly, I wanted to add natural curls so Shouly was so amazing and worked her magic with the curling iron to give me body n fabulous bouncy natural look I wanted. I feel blessed to have had the best of the entire team worked on my hair!! I love the result and would definitely recommend this Salon and stylist to everyone. I can't wait to go back for layers and my keratin treatment to see the results. I recommend them all.... I had my spring cleaning n feel refreshed today... Thank You All!!!! P. S. Wait for the pix on my next visit :) read more

Oren Rocks! He asks detailed questions about your hair before he starts anything. Very focused! I was very happy with my highlights. Probably the best I've gotten in a long time. :0) read more

I have been following Rose around for years from salon to salon. She does the best color and cut! She arrived at Oren in November and I'm glad she did. Clean, bright with a cheerful staff, this salon is about a block or two from the main Forest Hills subway and just a couple of blocks from the LIRR. From what I've seen you'd be fine with any of the hair specialists there, but I am still loyal to Rose who has wonderful talented hands and always has a cheerful smile on her face. She came highly recommended as THE colorist around by a friend who sold beauty products to all the salons. My friend was 100% right. She mixes colors like nobody else to get the perfect shade and she will spend time listening to you about the color and style of cut you desire. I highly recommend! read more

Got color and cut from Oren several weeks ago before my trip to California and got more than I expected. I'd been in a rut going to the same person for a few years now with mediocre results, but too busy with a baby to take time to go back into Manhattan for something better. I finally had enough and did some yelp research for a better option in my neighborhood and Oren Sassoon rose to the top. I'm so happy I booked the appointment because it's been a long time since I walked out of a salon feeling sassy. Oren was attentive to the details and did a beautiful job. I can't recommend him enough. read more
