Dominique is AMAZING!! After walking out of the previous salon that I had planned to get my haircut at, I hopped onto Yelp and found Rush Hair Studio to not only be open on Mondays, but that they take walk ins. It was about a 17-minute walk from where I was currently at, so I called to check availability before walking over. Dominique answered the phone and told me she was happy to take me in as soon as I arrived. I communicated what I wanted: to cut off at least 15 inches of hair for me to donate then just have her add layers so that my face would be framed nicely. I explained that I have naturally curly/wavy hair and that I don't want my hair shorter than my shoulders when curly. She listened intently and very clearly understood the assignment. I let her know that I didn't really have an "inspiration photo" for what I wanted my hair to look like, but she told me not to worry and I trusted her. Throughout the entire process, she communicated EVERYTHING to me! She knew I was nervous about having short hair again, so I truly appreciated her transparency with what she planned to do while cutting as it made me feel at ease. The outcome is PHENOMENAL! I LOVE my new haircut (and so does my husband)!!! When I left the salon, she had straightened it out and it looked beautiful. The next day I wore it natural and it looked just as amazing! I'm seriously so happy with how it turned out! Dominique is my new hairstylist moving whether she likes it or not! ;) read more

Rush Hair Studio - Before & After - Hair Salons Near Me - Astoria, New York

I made an appointment for 4 pm. I walked in, and proceeded to wait for 20 minutes, and the entire place smelled like bleach and hair dye. There were two stylists for 3 people that were getting their hair colored, so I knew there was no way that my appointment to get a haircut would be taking place in an organized way. I had to leave because I was getting such a headache from the fumes, and the frustration of this appointment time, and the disorganization of the stylists. Do not go here if you value your time! read more

I never write bad reviews, but after what happened to me at Rush Hair studio I sadly feel it's my duty to write about my experience there and the horrible botched hair job which resulted in me not only having 4-5 different hair colors but having to CUT OFF about 4 inches of my hair. I have many details but cannot list it all because there is a set word count. My regular stylist was busy but because of the holidays, I decided to give Rush Hair Studio a try in which I found on Yelp. They have many positive reviews and were closer to me than my regular place. A yelper mentioned that she believes their positive reviews ones are fake and now, I am inclined to believe this to be true. I called on 12/18 and appt at 10am the next morning with Boyana was made. I was fine with that as I had read positive reviews about Boyona. I arrived the next morning and was greeted by Irene. I was confused as I had an appointment with Boyona, but now Irene was going to do my hair. That struck me as odd, and I had an uncomfortable feeling in my gut. She told me she was the one I talked to on the phone and the one that made the appointment and she would be doing my hair. But why tell me it was with Boyona then? I should've left then, but I was too nice. Being too nice during my time there will be things I regret as it all came back to bite me. Ladies and gentlemen when it comes to your hair, please don't be too nice. She also told me later she is ususally the only one who usually works on Thursday by herself. So why did she say I had an appointment with Boyona then? I realized now it was a bait and switch. Since it was just sprung on me she would be the one doing my hair, I asked her was she comfortable (my way of asking her politely if she was experienced enough to do my hair) and she told me yes, I have done blonde many times, I have been doing this for many years. I asked her but can you do my platinum blonde? And she said yes, but as long as you know the longer roots will not be as light as your roots. Again, I aksed it will be platinum? And she said yes, because when it's on the roots your hair will turn more light that's why we advised people to come in every 6-8 weeks, but the rest of your hair *might be just a little darker.* I understand this and was expecting it. I have let my plantium roots grow out for months on many, many occasions. Hair that is closer to the roots will turn lighter and quicker because of the heat generated from your head, and the rest of your hair may be slightly darker/different than the hair closest to your scalp, but to the untrained eye it is not noticeable unless you're looking for it. Irene confirm we were on the same page. I also stressed to her I didn't want my hair to be silver or grey in any way as it was unflattering on me. Irene was nice enough, but looking back there was so many wrong doings I should've not just walked out of there, but ran. I dont know if it is a lack of knowledge, technique, or just not willing to put in the time to do things correctly because if I'm going to blunt, plain laziness, but my hair suffered for it. 1. She rushed through my hair. I have never had someone take each end of my hair and place it on top my hair, in which my now already blonde processed hair is touching more bleach which will result in breakage (and why I had to cut off so many inches of my hair after). Usually the stylist uses foil to separate the hair so it doesn't touch the bleach and break, but here she is laying the bottom of my hair on top of the bleach. I remember thinking what is she doing and was trying to be nice and trusting the process as she knew what she was doing as she claimed to have done platinum hair so many times before. *if you look at my picture closely, this is just bleach on my hair and my hair being let down, this is actually the bottom of my hair laying on top of my head.* 2. She did not have any timer set at any time. She was just casually looking at my hair while doing someone else's hair. You should never eyeballing bleach on someone's hair as this can result in breakage! 3. I do not recall her shampooing my hair after the toner was washed out. My hair was orange (and not in a good way), various shades of blonde, and ... you guessed it - GREY! Her response to that was it would wash out later. My hair colors were all scattered and uneven and I did not see it until later, but I have big rings of orange in the back of my hair. I immediately contacted the owner and when we spoke the next day she was pretty blaze about it, which to me is so irresponsible as a biz owner. At least a refund was given. We had Irene on speaker in which she lied and twisted the truth saying she told me it would look like this. I was infuriated. Not only did she ruin my hair, but she lied and blamed me! I told the owner to review the video recordings of that day and she will see the truth. Be wary, this place lacks technique to do your hair and if they ruin it, they will even blame you! read more

Visiting NY and needed a blowout. This salon showed up in my yelp search, their nearly 5 star reviews made me feel confident about booking an appointment. The women working here are very nice, the salon seemed clean, and recently renovated perhaps. My appointment was for 11a, my hair wash didn't begin until 11:13ish. The chairs / washing stations are oddly set up. I was getting drenched and the position I was seated in was not comfortable. It was as though the bowl and chairs didn't go together. The salon is small, perhaps they had to jam these wash stations in the corner. Also they use rags to dry your hair! Like ... rags off Amazon. I was dripping wet after my hair wash. Not to mention it doesn't look like they have any experience with high end products. I brought my own shampoo and conditioner along with heat protectant spray. My tech barely sprayed my hair to protect it. She burned my hair, her blowout was sub par. Then she used a dirty comb on me. I saw her grab a comb, wipe it with the rag they consider a towel, then proceed to style my hair. Do they not disinfect their tools properly? Techs had their licenses hung by the register - but I'm shocked that they have them. Also, tipping is cash only. This is important to know so you don't show up thinking your Apple Pay or modern methods of payment will be sufficient. My blowout cost $50, wish I had gone somewhere else or packed a blow dryer in my suitcase. Because even I could've done a better job. Thank god I'm back in California where they know how to do hair read more

Old hair New tricks? Irena at Rush is nothing short of a colorist genius The transformation of my appearance was dramatic I have been going gray since 19 That was 46 years ago What can I say ? Insecurities about Looking older always prevented me from finding my natural color After discussing this for 2 years I let it happen She "held my hand " through it and I was amazed at the out come I was dumbfounded. I repeat Irena at Rush is nothing short of a colorist genius I love it. Trust her You won't be sorry read more

Shut this place down. Dyed my hair orange. It took me double the price to start the correction process. Still have many corrections to go. Hairdresser was unprofessional and immature. Blamed me for her incompetence. Then told me that it would turn blond during the week. I don't know if there was going to be magic pixie dust that was going to correct her mistakes. There should be a zero star option on Yelp. This place doesn't even deserve one star. read more

Booked an appointment for a cut / trim. Explained I have curly hair and inquired if any of the stylists are at least somewhat knowledgeable about curly hair and cuts. I was told that all the stylists at the salon have curly hair (bit of a stretch?) and they are knowledgeable. I thought to myself, okay great, and booked an appointment. Ended up with Deanna, who I have to say, was very sweet and kind and friendly. We talked extensively about my hair, my struggles with it (dry, frizzy, loose curl pattern / definition), I mean--you name it, I struggle with it, unfortunately. I ended up just getting a cut and the Olapex treatment, which I guess I was expecting a lot more than what I got from it. It honestly did pretty much nothing to my hair. Now, I totally get that I cannot be unrealistic and completely delusional to expect to walk out of the salon with perfectly defined, frizzless curls; I know and fully understand that it's a work in progress to undue YEARS of damage, products used, techniques and research on what works best for my hair. Is the Olapex treatment worth the money by itself? Maybe / probably. But for me, personally, no. Unfortunately, I feel Deanna just gave me a very unflattering, bad haircut. It just did NOT work well for me. I didn't have a problem with the fact she cut a lot (it had been 4.5 months since my last cut / short trim) and while I would have wanted to keep my length, I knew that I needed a good chop and that was FINE. But she gave me a Triangle Shape type of cut, with zero layers throughout / tapered / V-cut with very short and awkward bangs? / short layers only in the front. So short I am barely able to curl them in any way. I was hoping my curls would bounce up with the fresh cut, but they didn't even do that very much. Again, I felt she was knowledgeable and very nice, but just not skilled at a curly cut (or at least a more layered cut) to be more flattering. Here is a before and after. Shame. I would have wanted to REALLY be happy with this service, but at this point, I'm unsure if I will be back. They seem to be great for other cuts, color and other other types of services, but if you're on (what feels like an endless) bonafide curly hairy journey, probably not the best option, IMHO. read more

Irina works magic for me every 6 weeks. She is a true expert in her craft and keeps my hair looking, and feeling great.

Got haircut - layers (not hair color). Dominique cut my hair and is pretty good I thought. This is my second time going cause the first time She took her time and Was patient. Did good job back then. Like you can see in the first pic, There was a lot of sharppp angular chop off!! A good chunk of my front hair is very short compared to the ones in the back. She was nice and took time. But I wanted only the front first few to be shorter. Not this: an imbalanced front good chunk of hair being very short and back pretty long. Now it's going to take forever to let it grow. I was planning to color my hair. But I do I even spend $200-300 on a hair that I don't even like :( Don't get me wrong. As you can see in the photo, still like how my hair looks compared to before I guess. Layers on Straight hair sometimes can be tricky because even small mistakes you can see the mistakes really quick. N that was my hair. As a person, Dominique is very sweet and genuine. Loved chatting with her. That's why giving 3 star. But now all I see if that good chunk of my hair in the front missing. I guess you get what you pay for. I've definitely paid more in other places, and have had slightly better hair cut, where my hair felt flawless no matter which side I flipped my hair. Didn't feel like paying an arm and a leg for a simple hair cut any more. But I guess this is what happens. read more

Rush Hair Studio - Hair Salons Near Me - Astoria, New York

I found this salon through Yelp, doing some real research for a good, and hopefully affordable place that specializes in color. I definitely went through a lot of places in the area (as I knew this would be a lengthy process and preferred to be close to home once I was done). My first interaction was through Yelp, as there was an option to contact and request a quote. The response time was amazing, almost immediate. I explained what I was looking for. Of course, this was bound to be quite the undertaking, and I knew that because there was so much dark growth. The person who communicated with me via chat on Yelp was very attentive. She was very honest and managed expectations, since it would be difficult to blend the new blonde with what I already had. I appreciated that very much and just from that chat and the reviews (and trust me, I start with the negative reviews of places first) I was ready to give them a shot. The minute I walked in for my 10am appointment, I felt like I was in the right place. Everyone looked busy and happy and the place itself - amazing decor and overall clean vibe. I met my stylist Nina and I loved her bubbly personality. We'd spoken on the phone when she called to discuss my appointment and was so friendly, walking me through what she was thinking of doing. She mostly stuck to that plan that she originally spoke of over the phone, with a few tweaks which she did talk to me about when I arrived. She decided to do thin foils, which is super tedious work - but that alone really made me feel comfortable. She was willing to put in that extra elbow grease and take her time to deliver the final end product that I was hoping to achieve. She let me know from the jump that it may not be perfect on the first visit because she didn't know how my hair would lift, but also said she would do her best to get me out with one visit and as close to what I wanted as possible or even completely there if all went well. I expected it to be a process. I thought it would be a ton of boring hours waiting for color to lift. Nope! Nina works like a ninja - so fast you don't even see or feel anything. It felt like barely any time had passed - she'd just finished foiling the whole head, and was already unwrapping one of the older sections. Everything worked just that smoothly. Everyone there worked like such a well oiled machine, everyone helping everyone, an assembly line turning people out asap. And trust me - it was BUSY. I'm not going to lie, there was a point in the process where I was a little frightened because of the blue tones in my hair after her first toner application and my super white ends, but Nina kept such a cool head and was like "I got this. Don't worry." I was really afraid for the end result when I saw snowy white ends, and definitely had a freak out moment where I was like omg, my hair is going to be different shades all over ... but after Nina explained how she'd tone and try to warm it up, I once again, resolved to trust the process. A few toners later and my hair ended up being everything I wanted and then some. I really hadn't even expected to come out this light in one process and then also be so ready to go. Nina made sure to help me with care tips for upkeep and she was super helpful overall with just little things here and there that would help maintenance. The entire experience was a blast - and it was a five hour long day with her. Everyone was so chill and everyone was so friendly. Great conversation, knowledgeable stylists. Even when things seemed to be going off the rails, everything totally came together. I was really happy that I ended up choosing this salon and that Nina was chosen for me. My husband, who was there towards the beginning and saw the foils being put in, then again for a few minutes after the toner application but still wet, and then finally picking me up and seeing the end result was SOOOO thrilled. He loved it and I think after such a long time growing my hair out, he'd even forgotten what I looked like this type of blonde. Highly recommend. Price wise, I did end up paying a bit more than I had wanted to, but I completely understand why. It was a lot of work and it was tedious work and honestly, you do get what you pay for. I know $420 may seem like a lot, but with how much there was to do, I get it. I know doing regular root touch ups would be way more reasonable, so don't let that number scare you. Everything I had done would have been way more expensive in the city and honestly, who knows if you even would have had this type of experience or these really knowledgeable stylists. One other thing - I noticed they all treated the revolving door of clients coming in and out like family. They seemed to know almost everyone and that says something. These women keep coming back enough to build a relationship. That alone shows you that they must know what they're doing. read more

Rush Hair Studio - Roots (over 2inch grow out), toner, color correction... literally the works! (By Nina) - Hair Salons Near Me - Astoria, New York

I've been going to Irina since 2018 or 2019, and I don't trust anyone else with my hair. She's the best. She's been cutting, highlighting, and doing occasional keratin treatments to tame my frizz as my hair gets grayer. She blends the gray without trying to stamp it out, which is more natural looking and doesn't require constant touch ups. She strongly encourages me to wait a while between sessions to minimize over-processing, which keeps my color from becoming "muddy" looking and helps me maintain natural moisture and beauty. The best thing about Irina is that she actually listens and is willing to share her opinion about what the best options are for my hair. She's also fun to hang out with because for anyone who does color you know sessions can take a while, especially when your hairdresser takes their time for the best results. The thing about a truly skilled hair artist is that their expertise and opinion matters, and they also listen to what your goals are. There is a back-and-forth that is valuable and shows in the final results. read more

Boyana and her team did an incredible job with my hair, and I couldn't be more pleased with the results!

Irena SAVED my hair. I made a color correction appointment with rush after having a horrible experience at another Astoria salon. I wanted my brown hair to be brought to a copper red. The first salon basically dyed my hair dark red, so dark it looked black. I hated it so much. I learned my lesson and did my research this time and came across Rush. Irena was patient and listened to what I wanted and explained what she needed to do to get me there. She's a an angel. She not only did an amazing job lifting my horrible dye job, but she have me the most beautiful and fun red. At the end of my time they're Gabby have me the most AMAZING blow out. I think I found my go to salon now. I have 3b curly hair and Gabby slayed these edges. Honestly, best blow out I've ever gotten in Astoria. Seriously, best salon in Astoria. Period. read more

Everyone at Rush is so nice - they always make me feel at home there. It is a wonderful salon - I would not go anywhere else!!!

I tried Rush based on the reviews. I will not be back. I had a single process dye job and a blow out. Afterwards I met a friend for lunch. Midway through lunch my friend freaked out and asked if I was ok. After telling me it looked like my "ears were leaking", I went to the bathroom to see what on earth she was talking about. Apparently my stylist failed to notice the giant blobs of black dye in BOTH of my ears after my hair had been washed and SHE blew it out piece by piece. Seriously? For $150 she couldn't do the bare minimum and make sure I didn't look like my brains were leaking out of my ears? read more

Oh my gosh. Nina is the first time in my life that I've felt like it matters who cuts my hair. I've always had great experiences here. A couple years ago, I asked for a really natural looking caramel balayage and I don't remember who did it, but they honestly did such an amazing job and took their time and my friends recently didn't believe I'd ever had balayage done because it looked so natural at the time: Exactly what I asked for. But this time tops everything and compelled me to write a review. I've always thought my hair is a little limp, stick straight, super fine... I always thought it didn't matter who cut it because it's super basic, and since I don't style it and I don't want it to look thin, it should just be left all one length. Nina immediately corrected me, saying that I have plenty of hair and she could play around with texturing the bottom. She said I had body in my hair (I one thousand percent thought she was lying to flatter me) and that texturing would give it volume (impossible! I never have volume.) All she did was cut it. And since then, my friends all think I started styling my hair (lol no) because VOLUME and BODY have appeared. My hair has literally never looked better. I don't know what she did, but I'm super grateful. She clearly took the time to assess my hair, brought her expertise to the table, worked at it and communicated well, and then charged me very, very little for the best haircut of my life. BRING CASH because I've been trying to get my new fave a cash tip for the past few days now since I'd forgotten to bring it to the appointment. This place is the bomb and Nina might just be magic. read more

Alright, I just got home from getting my highlights done with Irena... and wanted to immediately post a review. Blondes, look no further. Are you Tired of getting crappy highlights from another salon that look orange tinted or make your hair burn off from "colorists" who have no idea how to manage coloring blonde hair and keeping it somewhat healthy? Well that's been my struggle bouncing around Astoria trying some other "hip" places... and getting crappy results. Now I shall never go anywhere else or ask for anyone else but Irena. She knew exactly what to do. She was very honest with me about how to get it to a even looking ashy blonde... and avoid the grow out terrible roots. The lady who colored it last had left me with some strange orange looking areas and she did a great job canceling a lot of that out. While the salon is small, I did not feel crunched. Or rushed. I did not get a haircut or a blowout... (I live around the corner so I just came home and did it myself... the blow out, not the hair cut... I would never.) And so I'll post some pics just so you can see how nice and even it is. I think the price point is very similar/little bit less than what you will get on 30th Ave at the big Aveda salon that we all know of. **HOWEVER... you will get a MUCH better result at this salon. (And the energy here isn't snobby like that other place.) I'll include a picture, ignore my dirty kitchen. But just wanted to show how even my highlights are and the nice (not orange) color Just one note/helpful fact to include. They will not allow you to add a tip on your credit card or Venmo the stylist. So you'll need to bring cash. If any owner of this place is reading this review... Being able to tip without cash in hand is something that is pretty standard at most places nowadays, that would be my one note of something that could be improved upon. read more

Rush Hair Studio - Even highlights from Irena - Hair Salons Near Me - Astoria, New York

I had a botched pixie cut from before. I loved how Dominique listened to me and guided me through each step of my haircut.

When I tell you I did my research on a quality hair salon in Astoria... I did my research!!! I've been doing my own hair for 3 years because of the pandemic and I just knew I had to get back to the salon but I wanted to find the right one! When I walked in I was immediately greeted and welcomed by the staff. I sat and waited for my stylist to come over and when she did, she brought a great energy and a sense of comfortability. I usually always feel a bit nervous//self conscious in salons without my extensions and also my hair feeling extremely dirty lol. Deanna truly knew EXACTLY what I needed, what I wanted to do with my hair and transformed it. Its as though she read my mind lol. I have never truly left a salon feeling like my best self. But I will be coming back to the Rush Staff and Ms.Deanna; if you've made it this far in my review - just call the damn salon and Book Book Book. Thank you Deanna & Thank you Rush P.S the price is right also!!! read more

I'm calling today Miracle on 37th Street. Nina completely rescued my hair. The before and after results are tremendous. The whole experience was remarkable. It had been over a year since I had my hair color or cut (I went somewhere else the last time and they destroyed it), and I had done covid haircuts on myself. When I came in today, Nina was very upfront about the existing hair damage I had and came up with a plan to make my hair healthy and achieve the color I wanted. Nina was able to give me a beautiful honey blonde color, but she was also able to completely revitalized my hair. She did a two step olaplex treatment, hair mask, and cleaned up all my dead ends. My goal is eventually to go super light blonde, so she wrote a list of things to do at home to care for my hair and laid out the plan for my next visit in 3 months. Nina is my hair doctor! In addition to her incredible work on my hair, I felt so safe being in the salon because of they were constantly staying on top of sanitizing everything. I had been skeptical about going into a salon during these crazy times with covid, but everyone in the salon was practicing great safety measures. Every time a customer got up from a chair, they sanitized it. Rush has the best stylists working there. They all genuinely care about the health of the hair, safety measures for their customers, and every person I saw there left with stunning hair. Highly recommend! (Remember to bring cash though, they only take cash tips) read more

This place truly doesn't deserve a single client. Over the years I've gone to a couple hair salons until I found the one I loved. Night and day difference from my experience here. This salon (especially the owner) lacks technique, integrity, and customer service. They pack their schedule to the point they don't focus on details and you will leave hours later disappointed and paying a price you weren't quoted for. Extremely shady ethics on this place. HARD PASS! Many ethical salons in Astoria and this is simply not one of them. read more

Ugh. Dominique is lovely and I liked her personality. BUT I asked for balayage, and when I got home and really checked out my hair, I was very obviously given regular highlights -- despite her repeating my balayage wishes back to me. I also showed her a balayage photo for reference, which I pulled directly from THEIR salon's photos. Not sure how much more specific I could have been... It's almost like she forgot she wasn't supposed to go to the root at the crown, because things seemed to start off properly... I also hadn't had any color in my hair for years, so I was really excited to get my first balayage, and now that chance is ruined... I added a second star because I like the texturizing she did. But that's all I am happy with, and that is simply not enough for $300. Disappointed. * Removing that extra star after examining my hair further and seeing just how much brassiness is in the "ashy" color I asked for (and have achieved many times in the past elsewhere). Looking at the other reviews, she made the same exact mistakes with another woman on the SAME DAY as me. Never again with this salon. read more

I initially went to Rush for the convenience of it (it's only a couple blocks from me) but I was definitely impressed with the quality of my haircut. My hair is super healthy and I don't need to go back frequently due to an accumulation of split ends. I've gotten haircuts in the past where (I'm not sure if it's the technique or scissors) I develop a lot of split ends relatively soon after the haircut. My hair can be a bit deceivingly difficult to cut; it's straight and medium thickness but I have a lot of it and so my hair needs to be cut in sections and can be very time consuming. My stylist, Irena, was wonderful. I explained to her problems I've had in the past and she listens and cut my hair accordingly. I initially just wanted a trim but after her suggestion that I should try out bangs I couldn't be happier. She did a wonderful job and I got so so many compliments!! read more
