What a treat the owner of this salon is! Attentive, caring, extremely knowledgeable, and super fun. My daughter has very curly short hair, and they did WONDERS for her with her first cut and style. The before and after was quite miraculous. Wonderful local business, run by locals. Support this Salon, they deserve it! read more

In an attempt to schedule an appointment the employee that answered the phone was beyond rude. The website says they specialize in curly hair. ubder services it says curly styling as a service provided. I said I'm calling to inquire about scheduling an appointment for styling. The lady didn't let me speak and said "what kind of hair do you have were really busy?" With a rude tone. I said I don't want to go today, I was wondering availabilit. Again interupting me, she says "what kind of hair do you have like what are we talking about here? You want a blow out like what?" Before I can answer she says "what do you want?" I hung up and said never mind. I travel from Rockland County to Brooklyn to get my hair done and was happy to see a curly salon nearby. It's a shame with limited Salons in the curly community I still have to travel 2 hours because Rapunzel's is beyond rude. read more

Debbie is amazing! She listens to what you want and her recommendations are also great. The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly, which is a major plus. Wendy is also a hoot, and leaves me laughing every time I'm there. My curls never looked better, and the color is always fabulous! read more

Deb is a curly haired angel. When i found this place on the curly hair forums, I had my doubts, but I decided to go for it, cuz you know what.... HAIR GROWS...and you live and learn.... You know what I learned, there is no need to pay 200 dollars for a specialty "curly haired" stylist (geez just because i have curly hair?) no no, Deb will take care of you and educate you and listen to you. Getting my hair cut from Deb is such a pleasant experience and she is a wonderful person. First time she cut my hair, I couldn't believe my lame curly hair could look like that.... bouncy, perfect ringlets and super soft....you learn what product to use, how to use them and how to style your hair. It was TRULY an education that I will always be grateful for. thank you Deb, thank you for making me LOVEEE my curly hair read more

Just got my first ever curly cut like 20 mins ago and WOW I don't think I can ever go to another salon. They were super attentive and professional. Made me feel comfortable and I knew I was in good hands. I was super nervous at first since I'm used to getting a normal cut and blown out but was blown away with how good my curls look. Can't wait for my next cut!! read more

Took my niece here after countless horrible haircuts for her long, thick, super curly hair. Debbie and Wendy took so much time with her, really showing her how to manage and style her hair with minimal effort. So now her hair routine is frustration free and her curls are gorgeous! The price for a cut was super reasonable too, compared to other salons charging $100+ for a "deva cut". These ladies are super talented, helpful and fair. Will be back again and again. read more

What a wonderful experience! I have curly, frizzy, thick hair and Deb worked her magic, transforming it into manageable ringlets, perfectly styled. Even her coloring was a step above anything I've ever had--it's made my hair shinier and I get compliments all the time on how healthy and conditioned it looks. Trained by DevaCurl, Deb uses their techniques to cut hair, but I think she did an even BETTER job than I had gotten in Manhattan. If you have curly or wavy hair this is THE salon to go to. No questions asked, Deb is the best read more

I was going to an event on a Saturday night and needed an appointment in the afternoon. I called to schedule a blowout and they didn't have any openings, so they offered to put me on the cancellation list. I was having a hard time getting an appointment anywhere on that day, so I gave her my info. I finally got an appointment at another salon but as it turned out they cancelled at 8am the day of the appointment because of the snow. Lo and behold, at around 1pm Rapunzel's called with a cancellation, would I like to come in? Absolutely! I was washed, conditioned and blown out and curled in under an hour- seriously! Both stylists were so friendly and accomodating. I'd asked for loose big curls and had a picture of what I wanted. My hair didn't look as I'd planned, but I loved it and got quite a few compliments on my pictures. Better yet, it held for the duration of the afternoon plus the evening, so I was very happy. Very reasonable prices, well worth the trip, and I will definitely return. IMPORTANT TO NOTE that they do not accept credit cards. read more

Let me preface this that I don't get my haircut very often! I have long curly hair and I never blow dry it, so it doesn't get damaged easily. However, I know so few people that actually know how to cut curly hair, that I will only let Debbie at Rapunzel cut my hair these days! I also don't ever do anything fancy with it, so I only need a trim every now and then! I, like many others have gotten my fair share of bad haircuts. (Even one where I've walked out crying!) This little studio in a small shopping center is now the only place I go. Debbie cuts my curly hair dry, exactly how they train you to do with curly hair at Deva Curl. Deva has a salon in the city, which would be so much more convenient for me, but would cost me 4 times the price! Rapunzel is so reasonable. My $45 haircut is a STEAL. Debbie and Wendy are both super friendly. I also really like the small feel of the salon and I'm usually only 1 of 2 customers getting treatment. My hair always looks fantastic when I walk out! Thanks ladies! Until next time... **NOTE: CASH OR CHECK ONLY** read more

Love this place! Debbie and Wendy are so great! I never realized how much my hair needed a true curl expert cut. Since going here I get so many comments on my hair. Debbie also did my color and I couldnt be happier! Highly recommend Rapunzel for your hair care read more

I like to get my hair done here because they are known for being curly hair experts (which is super hard to find!) Debbie took a lot of time on my hair (thank you Debbie!) but when I had to get it washed, they brushed my hair with a thin tooth BRUSH, without asking me. I thought the #1 rule for curly hair is to never brush it. I have not brushed my hair since I was 13 years old since it makes my hair flat, frizzes the curls, and kills my ends. Debbie could not properly finish up my hair and cut the shorter pieces I had wanted in the front since my hair looked nothing like it normally does post-wash. I've had good experiences in the past, but this was bad. read more

This was the greatest experience I have had at a hair salon, ever. Wendy and Debbie are fantastic, knowledgable, fun, and they really care and listen. Debbie gave me the most wonderful curly pixie cut and Wendy styled my hair to perfection. What a team. They are SUPER clean and cautious, very attentive and compliant with COVID precautions which I appreciate greatly. I felt very safe and comfortable, and left with a fabulous and unbelievably affordable new cut!!! Highly recommend and WILL be returning. read more

Could not have asked for a better experience here! Debbie and Wendy gave me an awesome cut & color on my previously virgin hair! I am over the moon about how it turned out. These ladies are absolute professionals and I am so happy that I chose this salon to get my hair dyed pink. They took their time and the color turned out beautiful with no damage to my hair or curl pattern. I felt completely safe to have my hair done here during the pandemic as all CDC & state regulations were adhered to. Thank you thank you thank you! It has been over two weeks and the color hasn't faded at all! read more

I went here to dye my hair and the bleach killed my hair. It literally turned my hair into straw. I had to cut it off because no matter what I tried, it was irreparable. Also, the deva products are too heavy for my hair and leave a waxy residue. I was not thrilled about the haircut either. I went to another salon that doesn't specialize in curly hair and thankfully I got a better cut. I don't plan on returning here. However, Deb and her assistant (Wendy?) were very nice to me, but I just am not happy with the results. read more

Having been a curly girl my entire life, I've experienced a myriad of wonderful, mediocre and flat out hideous haircuts. Needless to say I have major trust issues when it comes to hairdressers and salons. When my trusted hairdresser of many years suddenly left the salon she worked at without a trace, I looked to the Naturally Curly website for guidance. I chose to try Rapunzel as it had tons of great reviews and was close to work. I loved the small, no-glitz vibe that this place had. Made me feel comfortable and at home. Debbie was a pleasure to talk to throughout my appointment as was Wendy. Both of them gave me really great tips for working with my sometimes disobedient curls. I also got to try out all kinds of Deva products that I otherwise wouldn't have known about. I walked out with a fantastic haircut that I got tons of compliments on- all at a great price, too. I will absolutely return to Rapunzel in the future. If you've got curly or wavy hair, look no further. Only downside of this place is that it takes a WHILE to get an appointment, so give yourself at least 2-4 weeks when booking one. read more

After using my hairstylist and friend since the 1980's, I decided to try a curly hair specialist. Wow! Was I pleasantly surprised what the difference was between a regular haircut and a Deva Cut. For years my friend would use thinning shears on my hair to tame it. Little did I know that I just wasn't getting the right cut and using the wrong products. My hair has never looked better and I get so many compliments on my curls. It was super hard cutting my ties with my friend to come to Rapunzel but Debbie and Wendy were worth it. read more

Having lived abroad for a few years, my favorite hairstyle had grown out and been cut poorly a few times, so I'd been having trouble getting a cut I liked. I went in for the first time, showed Deb a picture of my hair from a few years back and explained what I didn't like about my hair at the moment. Oh my sweet lord this is my favorite haircut ever. I can style it or just let it dry! She also showed me some simple styling tips. She's also super nice. Would be nice if she got Square or something to accept credit cards, but they let you know it's cash-only when you make an appointment. read more

I will have to say I don't like going into the Beauty Salon much because of the length of time I have to wait plus the long process of getting my hair done. I was very suprised and satisfied with Debbie the hair expert. She cut my hair in layers and it came out gorgeous! I started dying my hair there also and the process was so easy and I wasn't there forever! Wendy the assistant was also the best and gave alot of great tips! They are my new hair team! Thanks, my curls are difficult to handle and it was a breeze for them :) read more

What a fantastic experience to walk out of a salon and feel like a princess. My curls are beautiful. Debbie is an amazing hair professional! I will never go to another hair salon again-I've found my hair heaven! read more

I just moved from NYC and searched far and wide for a great stylist without much luck. Little did I know I would find an amazing one when I moved out of the city. Debbie is a Deva curl specialist and does a wonderful job of getting my very temperamental wavy hair to get a curl. She is also great at replicating a photo if you bring one, where most stylists look at a photo and then come up with their own mad idea of what that is; Debbie will tell you if it can be done or offer suggestions of what might work better for your hair texture. It takes a while to get a weekend appointment but worth the wait! read more

Debbie cut my hair earlier this month, and I am wondering "What took me so long to seek out a naturally curly-hair stylist/specialist?!" I am totally impressed with my cut, my Deva Curl training (from Wendy), and the overall friendly atmosphere at this salon. This is the first time EVER that I showed a picture of what I'd like my hair cut to look like, and it actually came out that way! Not only when the stylist did it, but every time after that I have been doing it myself!! So thank you ladies... You are amazing :) read more

I have really curly hair. Like, REALLY curly. Not just sort of curly, or wavy... Crazy curly. I've only ever walked out of a salon with my hair curly 3x. The first time I cried. The second time was last year at an expensive salon in NY, and my hair looked good but my wallet hurt. The third time was today. And I'm smiling. :) Debbie is awesome. She was so nice, very friendly and she did a great job on my hair. She paid attention to each curl! The salon is clean and nicely decorated, and I came out with an actual hair STYLE with healthy looking/feeling, bouncy curls. I texted 2 curly haired friends before I even left the parking lot. GREAT experience! read more

Debbie is a great Deva Cut specialist, she does exactly what you ask for and what your hair needs. I went in with fried hair from overprocessing after a keratin treatment which was promised to just remove frizz and not my curls, however it dropped my hair into a frizzy mess and she brought my hair back enough for me to mange until the keartin wears off! Thank you Debbie! read more

Wonderful experience!!! I am so pleased with my haircut! Debbie did an amazing job with the cut and Wendy was a magician with the washing and styling. Both women are so nice and really did a superb job on my curly hair. This is the first time I've left a hair salon feeling like I walked out of a Botticelli painting! I would give 10 stars if I could! read more

This is the 1st time I've ever put a review online, honest. I found Rapunzel from the Naturally Curly website & Debbie gave me the best haircut I've ever had - and I'm 60! I've had all the same problems getting a good cut & advice as every other woman with curly, coarse hair. Debbie gets it, my hair looked great right after the cut & still looks great 2 weeks later. Even my husband said "This is the best haircut you've ever gotten. And thanks also to Wendy, who took care of washing, conditioning & styling & explained it all to me so thoroughly read more

I've been a few times. The first time was great, they were very attentive and friendly. My cut was very good (it's the first "deva cut" I'd ever had) and I was impressed, the curls hadn't looked this good in years. The second time they were still pretty friendly and the cut was very good. The third time, they were a bit busier than usual, and (though I had an appointment) I felt like I was being "accommodated", like they wished I wasn't there. I asked for something different than what I'd had before, and showed Debbie a photo of what I wanted. She talked about it, what made it different than what I had, and started to cut. They washed it, clipped it, and put me under the dryer (during this entire process, I didn't really feel welcome). When my hair dried, there was this awkward moment - in the past, I'd been brought over to stylists' chair again for a final touch up, this time there was someone already sitting there getting a cut and so I just kind of stood up, paid, and left. Again, it just felt weird......And then got home, looked at my hair, and saw it was the same cut I'd gotten the first two times, not different at all. There's another deva salon the same distance from my house in the opposite direction; I'll try that next time. read more
