Rebecca is seriously the best!!! I have been disappointed by too many hair places in NYC. The color never seems to end up like the pic I showed or what I envisioned. My hair usually ends up orange or some dark brown that I didn't want. I appreciate that Rebecca was upfront about what color could be achieved in the time fame. She's realistic and is super meticulous in everything. 11/10 would recommend to anyone!!! I will definitely come back, I really liked my haircut and hair color!! All my friends loved it as well!! read more

I've been going to Rebecca for years--since 2018 ever since she opened her own salon. She makes my highlights come out amazing every time! she is great with Asian black hair and the only person I go to and trust to take care of my hair. She is so sweet and makes sure my hair comes out just the way I like it. My highlights last for months and months! Love her and she is truly the only person I go to after all these years. She will never disappoint! read more

I cannot tell you how much I love my hair right now. Rebecca is a color magician! I made an impulsive decision to get my hair colored while travelling abroad and almost immediately regretted it. When I got back to New York, I knew I would have to get it re-done! There was no way I could live another day with my ridiculous tiger stripes. I literally booked with Rebecca less than 8 hours after my flight landed and it was a fantastic decision! When I came in she immediately came up with a couple solutions and worked with me to determine the perfect game plan. A couple hours later and my hair looked just how I had wanted it to on the first go around...and at half the price I originally paid. Plus my hair still feels soft and smooth, even after another round of coloring. Yelp friends, learn from my mistakes and go to Rebecca the first time around. You will not be disappointed! read more

Rebecca IS my hair person! ‍ I've never had someone that I've trusted this much with my hair and always look forward to getting it done. She is meticulous and takes the time to get the result that you want and you always leave feeling like a million bucks (and not wanting to wash your hair since it's curled so perfectly) Highly recommend her for any cut and color needed! read more

Rebs Beauty - Balayage - Makeup Artists Near Me - New York, New York

It started off as a brief romance; she trimmed my bangs and shaved my undercut with ease at another salon. I received a notification that she had left that salon and I was heartbroken... until I found her again. It swiftly turned into much more as I realized the full potential of our relationship and how amazing she is with a pair of scissors. I am so glad I found Rebecca and simply find it hard to trust anyone else with my hair. Not only have I had multiple full haircuts with varying styles but I have also had highlights. I have never been underwhelmed or unsatisfied. Even with being a frequent customer, she still takes the time to really talk to me about what I want, offering suggestions and ensuring that she fully understands what I expect. I feel like a new woman every time I leave my appointment. read more

Rebecca is amazing. My mom is a cosmetology teacher, so fussy is an understatement when it comes to getting my hair done. I also have long, fine, wavy hair so I get anxious about haircuts. I trust Rebecca so much. Rebecca is extraordinarily talented, patient, and meticulous. She is also so generous and kind! I mentioned I was going to a wedding after my one of my haircuts, and Rebecca curled my hair my for me! Her blowouts are amazing. I never want to see anyone else! read more

Rebecca has been styling my hair for almost two years now and she is the best hair artist/stylist I've ever had. If you want to read more of her reviews, go look for them at Soon Beauty Lab (W 22nd Location). She was able to start working independently since she has so many loyal clients. Her new location in The Gregory Hotel feels like a private salon. She is incredibly detail-oriented and takes time where others would not. She also has a great eye for color and subtle differences in styling. I truly hope I get to be her client for years to come. read more

I'm so glad I found Rebecca. I followed her from her last salon to her own business. She really understands my hair and I'm never disappointed with a cut from her. Go to her (when the pandemic is over obv) - she's great! read more

Rebecca is the best! She is so knowledgeable and extremely kind; I couldn't ask for a better stylist :) After a few failed attempts to dye my hair at the mercy of other stylists, Rebecca transformed my hair into something I actually loved. I finally found a place I'd want to go back to again and again! read more

Rebs Beauty - Makeup Artists Near Me - New York, New York

I'm a Los Angeles native, and had long voluminous hair with balayage that I curled every single morning for YEARS. I came to Rebecca to get the shortest haircut of my life (short enough to dust my shoulders) and it was really the best haircut of my life. She spent a total of 1.5 hours (2 hours if you include the consultation and hair washing), and she was so meticulous, patient, and thorough. I have a lot of hair. And yet I hate that razor cut layered look or haircut with multiple levels. But somehow she gave me a cut where you can't see any layers, but my ponytail is half the size. Undercut layering girls! She's worked with Mizzchoi and other insta famous artists and her technique is seriously A++. I will only go to Rebecca in the future for my hair! read more

She always gives the best haircuts and balayage. I've recommended her to others and she has never disappointed.

I only trust Rebecca to cut my hair. I live in Santa Barbara, CA and travel to NY twice a year and I ALWAYS book an appointment with Rebs. She understands my hair and she is literally the only person I've trusted to say "do what you want" and I've never been disappointed with my hair cuts! Thank you Rebs - can't wait to see you next! read more

I am devoted to Rebs Beauty! Rebecca Yang is an extremely talented stylist and a lovely person as well. She gave a me fantastic haircut that, most importantly now (Covid 19 shelter in place time), is growing out beautifully. She's going to have a LOT of hair to cut when things get back to the status quo! And she is up to the task, I can assure you. Five stars absolutely read more

Simply put, Rebecca is the greatest. She is so talented, thorough, sweet, and effective. I have not gone to any other stylist in NYC b/c I don't need anyone else. Rebecca fulfills all my hair needs and more (like the great conversation she provides while doing it, if you want it -- she won't force you to talk to her either though, if you're busy/tired/just not in the mood). She gets the job done, in the way you want it. Not only am I so happy each time I leave her chair, her instagram photos and stories amaze me daily. @rebs_beauty - go see for yourself! read more

Rebecca is simply thee best!! So last minute during my last haircut, I thought I wanted emo hair lol and she worked with me to give me the best hair I ever had. It looked so freaking cool. Unfortunately i realized later that the emo hair didn't look good with my natural wavy hair. I still thought it looked sick when it was styled so I was gonna stick with it, but mentioned it to her that next time I might want it differently bc of the way it sits when it's not styled. She actually replied and told me to come back in so she can make a few adjustments!! So now I just got back from the salon again. She did her thing and I am so happy with my hair! I feel like no other hair stylist would have done the same. Just shows how much she cares about her clients!! She is so nice and thoughtful, and listens to all the concerns you have. She doesn't rush and genuinely wants you to be happy with your hair. I'm so glad I found her and I recommend her to anybody. She's def worth the wait and money :)))) thank you Rebecca read more

I've been highlighting and dying my hair ever since I was 19, so I've been through my fair share of colorists as I've moved around. I found New York to be particularly tricky to find someone that I trust with my naturally VERY dark (basically pitch black), long, thick, dry Asian hair. I've gone to several well-known balayage salons around town (Soon Beauty Lab, Whistle, Bianchi) with generally good experiences, but I've always left feeling dissatisfied with something, whether it's an obviously too-blonde strand that seemed like a mistake or the feeling that the colorist didn't understand my hair and just tried to do what they do for everyone else (who likely have naturally lighter hair) on me (and then commenting that my hair wasn't behaving the way they expected, which is always alarming to hear when you're in the chair). So for the amount of $$ and time that a balayage takes, I've always moved on in search of my Cheri (my beloved colorist that I would fly back home to go to for YEARS)--and now I've found her, and her name is Rebecca! I scheduled a full head balayage. Rebecca was professional and communicative at all times, texting me to ask if we could push the appointment by 15 minutes and also letting me know that another client would be coming in for a bang trim during my time, so she would have to leave me for a few minutes. Rebecca noticed that my hair had many different colors in it (from years of coloring my hair all different shades), and then spent HOURS carefully foiling my hair to make sure she picked up the correct pieces. I have never seen a stylist that is more meticulous. My entire appointment took 5.5 hours, and Rebecca even offered me a snack during that time. And because of how meticulous she was during, it was the first time in a long time that I looked at my hair afterwards and didn't see even one strand that seemed off-color or like it didn't take to the dye(s) correctly! I was extremely impressed. It was only after those 5.5 hours when I was paying that Rebecca informed me that what I actually had was a color correction, which is usually per hour, but because she jumped right into it and didn't tell me beforehand, she charged me the normal balayage amount, which was incredibly sweet. The studio was also cute and clean, and wasn't super hectic-feeling like some other studios can be, where it seems like all the stylists are elbow to elbow and jostling to churn out balayage like a factory. I also liked that Rebecca didn't try to chat my ear off or become my therapist, and I could do work emails and read while she worked, and she let her fantastic work and results speak for themselves. I've found my go-to stylist in New York now, and I only regret that I didn't find Rebecca sooner when I first moved here! TLDR; Rebecca is a color magician and gave me the first balayage in New York where I wasn't bothered by something. She is also the sweetest. Highly recommended; you won't regret it! read more

I don't color my hair but I always get my hair cut and bangs trimmed by Rebecca. She's so sweet and thoughtful - I never feel rushed and she never tries to push me into anything I'm not comfortable with. She recommends products when I ask, and she also gives me tips on styling my hair at home. I got my hair styled once for a special occasion - she did a really beautiful high pony and I loved it. Can't wait for my next bang trim! read more

Rebecca is a talented stylist and a wonderful person. She was referred to me by a friend - THANK YOU Merry - and now she is the stylist for my whole family and a couple of friends. She has a great eye, listens to what I'm asking for (recent request: HELP I am a new mom and am in desperate need of a fun haircut), and always does a great job. Go see Rebecca. read more

I do not post yelp reviews often. But Rebecca's touch has been an absolute game changer for my hair. I've let 5 people cut my hair my whole life, FIVE, let alone color my hair. Rebecca is the only person who has dyed my hair and the highlights she gave me have been life changing. Do yourself a favor, go see Rebecca. read more

Rebs Beauty - Makeup Artists Near Me - New York, New York

Rebecca is totally amazing!!! Her cuts are amazing - I've gone to her for layers, a bang trim, and a trendy lob, and it always comes out just as I describe. She's so great at balayage, she took me from previously colored but brown thick Asian hair to blonde in one session. And I sometimes go in for a toning to refresh or even darken it in between needing a full highlight. Highly recommend and it's a super cozy salon too inside the Gregory hotel. read more

I've always wanted to get a natural, brown balayage but was scared of getting brassy highlights. I decided to go in for a haircut before making the leap of faith in coloring my hair. I had flat, long black hair coming past my shoulders for years and she cleaned it up to a much more lively, full bodied lob. She recommended great affordable products that don't weigh my hair down and gave me solid advice on how to upkeep my hair. I came back for the balayage and she did not disappoint! She took so much care in taking tiny strands of hair and getting the color just right. I have never loved my hair more than now, she is a true pro and miracle worker. Well worth every penny, can't wait to explore more new hairstyles with Rebecca!!! read more

Rebs Beauty - after - Makeup Artists Near Me - New York, New York

I had been seeing the same stylist for years before moving to NYC and when I moved here it took time to find a stylist a liked. After I got my first cut from Rebecca I knew I had struck gold. She is absolutely AMAZING. My hair is fine and was very damaged when I first saw her, but since I first started seeing her 2 years ago, it has become so much healthier and has never looked better. Her consistently perfect cuts and product recommendations have done wonders for my hair. She is so friendly and a breath of fresh air every time I see her. I recommended her to a friend and she, too, has never looked back since and has been a loyal Rebecca customer since her first cut 2 years ago. Anyone would truly be impressed with her work and I 10/10 recommend her to anyone seeking an amazing stylist. read more

Rebecca is amazing! I'm so lucky I found her. I look at my pictures can't even believe it's MY hair. I have dark hair and I've always wanted mermaid hair. I was so scared to get it done because my hair takes forever to grow but Rebecca knew exactly what to do! She was so sweet and so accommodating and sooo skilled! She took her time and not once did I feel rushed. Her space is so cute and cozy too read more

See all

I rarely write reviews, but Rebecca is so good at what she does that I simply have to. I've gone to Rebecca a few times already and I always leave her salon absolutely loving my haircut. I get lots of compliments every time! I really appreciate that Rebecca offers her suggestions on what would suit me the best and I'm consistently impressed with her technique. For years I've been wanting to try out a shorter lob style, but have been too scared to. During my most recent visit, I asked Rebecca to cut my hair to the shortest length that it's been for a while and I can't get over how much I love it! She is the only person that I fully trust with my hair, and on top of that she's incredibly sweet and friendly! read more

I love Rebecca with my entire heart and this is not a biased review. Just wanted to drop a love note to my favorite hair stylist in the world. Rebecca has this gentle consultative approach to working with my gnarly damaged hair, and I always leave feeling like my hair was done the exact way I imagined. Rebs is incredibly talented, detailed, and caring to the point where your hairstyle even gets better with time. Come here for balayage, highlights, lowlights, ombre, haircuts, trims, you name it! read more

I'm very picky about my hair color, so it took me years to find a hair stylist I trusted. Rebecca is an amazing colorist (just look at the pics) and on top of that, she goes above and beyond with her customer service. I highly recommend her. read more

Rebecca is amazing. I've lived in NYC for almost 10 years and didn't have a regular hairdresser until Rebecca came into my life! I trust her with cutting, coloring, and touching up. She has integrity and is incredibly detail-oriented. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. read more

Rebecca has done my hair 2-3x times now and I don't plan on going anywhere else. She is super thorough (I have so much hair). My highlights look super natural and she makes the roots slightly darker so the grow out is a lot easier to maintain. read more

Rebecca is great! I've gone to her several times, and she always really listens to me when I'm telling her what kind of cut I want. She doesn't rush, and she spends extra time trying to get it just right. I'm always really happy with the cuts she gives me. I really recommend her. read more

I found Rebecca by luck when she worked around the corner from my apartment almost 3 years ago and so glad I did! She makes my thick wavy long heavy hair feel light and bouncy without making it look thin. She's also such a genuine person and tries to fit you in when your schedule changes. I'm already looking forward to my next haircut when things are back to normal. read more

After being referred by a few friends, I only go to Rebecca for my balayge! She's so sweet and thorough. I can't trust anyone else with my hair anymore and will be so excited to finally get my hair retouched when the quarantine is over. read more

After stumbling across Rebecca's page on instagram, I knew I had to see her and it was one of the best things I've ever done. I have naturally dark (Asian) hair and have always been told by other stylists that I would not be able to achieve the ashy blonde color of my dreams. Well after 2 sessions, I now have the perfect ashy blonde I've always wanted. I think of Rebecca as my very own NYC version of Mizzchoi or Anh Co Tran/Johnny Ramirez. She is a true expert in her craft plus she's the sweetest and will feed you snacks when you spend 5 hours in her chair on a Saturday :) She's ruined me for any other stylist and I don't think I'll ever let someone else lay their hands on my hair. True story. read more

UPDATE: You know how nicely cut hair keep the shape even when they grow out. I have been suffering with this cut for many months now - I can't reshape it, because of the length and how it was cut. So hello ponytail- all the time!! Rebecca has no idea how to cut wavy unruly hair, without straightening them to death. It took some time for me to figure out how to put it in words so it is understandable. For Friends fans: Rebecca is a person who can probably perfectly copy the Rachel haircut, but cannot invent it. I came with a photo of a haircut that I wanted, but asked if it could be adopted to my hair and modified a bit. I might be delusional, but I was under an impression that's what STYLISTS do. I have puffy a bit wavy hair and the picture showed the cut on a straight hair. Which I thought wouldn't be a problem, just some modification would be needed which I let Rebecca know. Instead she did exactly what was in the picture and straighten out my hair to death. Seriously, I was caught in the rain and they didn't become wavy. And I never said I wanted straight hair! I have no time or desire to spend hours styling my hair. So instead of sort of unruly edgy cut I ended up with very buttoned up straight hair look which is sooo not me. I didn't cry, hair will grow back, but I will not be coming back. Rebecca, an advise to you - for the first time costumers at leas - get to know them and understand if what you're about to create is what they really want. Now waiting for my hair to grow back, trying not to look in the mirror and looking for the new stylist. read more
