    I've been stayed with Roy for more than 2 yrs, and I never thought to change other stylist, because he never disappointed me. Roy understands what his customer wants, and he tries his best to do the best job every time. Sometimes, I don't even need to waste my time to describe what I want. Roy is responsible for his customer's hair. I bleached my hair more than ten times, this time he wouldn't let me bleach again, which I think he has great attitude for his job. Roy is the best hair artist in New York!!! I'm so happy I found him and stayed with him for this 2yrs!!! FYI making appointment as early as you can cuz he is soooo popular!!!!!

    What I left with (8 hours in total at the salon)

    this review is so long over due....THE RESULTS LAST. my hair is not fading to a weird yellow/ orange stage. My hair is not gummy. I feel like it's a sin my hair looks this good. He blended every single line (I had people take sections of my hair examining everything) HE MADE ME THE BLONDE OF MY DREAMS!!! I had written up my first impression review in October 2021 but realized I forgot to post it. But this way works great because I can show you the timeline of my hair. I was in his chair for a total of 8 hours. my time and money was worth it. October 23, 2021 My life has changed... Roy Ren is an expert when it comes to lightening and color correcting. He transformed my mane into a rooted bombshell blonde with time and understanding my current hair situation. The salon is very high energy and you can tell everyone working here is very skilled and you can plant your trust with them. My hair did not lift perfectly the first time and he immediately knew in that moment what to do in order to obtain my desired results. I felt comfortable throughout the entire process. I thought I would regret this hair transformation because my hair would dry off if it gets over process and not once did it reach that point. My hair feels smooth, healthy, and shiny and he was able to educate me with maintenance tips and product advice. Fast forward to March 2022. color still looks great. I'm still receiving compliments. I'm gonna let it rock until I feel like I need to be brighter around my face. I am a hairdresser and I only trust Roy with my hair now and he is worth the distance :) sincerely, tev

    From asian blackish box dyed red hair madness to beautiful blonde!! I feel amazing.

    *PLEASE READ* As a college student I am not able to treat myself often. I have been saving up for months in order to get my hair blonde and since I have typical asian black ish hair I knew this would cost an arm and a leg. Let me tell you, my hair looks like pure art... To see more my IG: saeyoubelieve. Price: Honestly not as bad as I was expecting AT ALL. To do my hair elsewhere would probably be in the 800+ or thousands!! I was quoted 450~550, and I ended up paying 515. To me, this is an incredible steal for the work of art he did with my hair. Style: I showed him a picture of my blonde inspiration which was sophia chang, a youtuber/influencer on social media. But I kept mentioning for him to do what would suite my skin tone and style best, also what is most natural/easy maintenance. I was guided to do shadow roots and go with beige blonde hair. Service: Wow, he is SO patient and amazingly attentive to every single detailed. He and his other assistant meticulously went through my hair like 3 times section by section and strand by strand. He never compromised my hair and even when it was hours into the appointment I could tell he was still up for the challenge. Pre-appointment: His assistant is incredibly attentive and also very reachable! I went in for a consultation and it took no more than 10-15 minutes. He was very nice as well :) During the appointment: God I cannot even begin to tell you how nervous I was LOL. Especially since I had done ombre two years back at a random asian salon and it came out like actual fire orange. He assured me that he knew what he was doing and that I was in good hands. He bleached my whole head except the roots and because I had box dyed the hair it was definitely noticeable that the box dye was strong AF, however he went back in and spot bleached the places that I looked like a pink zebra in and color corrected it!! Incredible. Post appointment: I feel sexier than ever... ladies/gentlemen trust me. Take your hair, take your money, take your bff's and go here. He will NOT disappoint. I'm going through a breakup at the moment of 7 years, and I needed a fresh hair do so I decided to take a risk and go blonde and use the money I've been saving up for months. It was worth all of my money, and I don't regret it!

    Foilyage -- went another shade lighter than previously

    I've been going to Roy to get my hair done for the past 3 years now and he never fails to disappoint! Just from showing him one picture, he gets the look I want exactly right each time. Roy also truly cares about my hair and lets me know what's happening through each phase of the hair process and how to maintain it once I get home :) I couldn't be happier and will always be a loyal customer! I've been going lighter with each visit, and my most recent foilyage came out perfect-exactly what I wanted and will last me the whole year (since I only get my hair done once a year) 10/10 recommend!!

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.

I nearly fell asleep in the chair and woke up with the job done. It's very pricey but I was comfortable the whole time. So, great service but expect a sad wallet if it's not in your price range. That said, pretty standard pricing for the location. If you're going to bleach your hair, you'd probably get the most out of it by trying a funky cool color but I just like the natural look.

I went back recently to bleach my hair and I was so shocked by how good it came out - and in only 4-5 hours! He's definitely a professional and knows what he's doing especially when it comes to dying/bleach/toning and cutting short Asian hair to fit my face shape. I rarely need to tell him to fix or that I'm not satisfied with my hair; I trust his process and he's never failed me.

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.
