I'd give Sokol 10 stars if I could... I've been going to Studio Delaj for 4+ yrs for balayage and haircuts. Sokol always delivers the perfect blonde... bright, perfectly toned, and subtly blended. His precision haircuts keep my hair healthy and make it easy to style my hair at home. The entire staff at Studio Delaj are warm, welcoming, and friendly. The recent renovation at their new location was stunning, feels bright and luxurious. Highly recommend Studio Delaj for balayage and haircuts if you're in the Riverdale/Lower Westchester areas. read more

Just walked out of my haircut with terribly damn hair and extremely disappointed in the whole experience. I made an appointment for 2:30 PM and the hair dresser called and asked if I could come in at 1:00pm, so I did. I got there and told the hair dresser the style I wanted and showed pictures. She then proceeded to insult my hair saying it was dry and dead. I explained I don't often cut or style my hair, which she seemed offended by. She then sent me to get my hair washed. The lady washing my hair used freezing cold water which got in my ears and down my neck. She washed my hair for a total of 3 minutes and I'm near positive she didn't even use conditioner. When I returned to the hair dresser for her to begin cutting, she continued to tell me how dead my hair was. She slid the scissors through my hair and cut it in a strange manner considering I told her over and over again that I wear my hair in a side part, not middle. She then sent me to another chair to get my hair dried. The same lady who washed my hair "dried" it. She waved a cold blow dryer back and forth a few times and then told me I was done - with my hair still being extremely wet (and it being 30 degrees outside). I then went to check out and was told my haircut was $10 more than what the booking showed. I begrudgingly paid. I asked for my coat and the man at the front huffed and explained he had a headache. From start to finish the whole thing was 20 minutes. I'm not even sure how my hair looks since I was rushed out with wet, messy hair. I won't be going back there ever again and definitely won't be recommending it (also shocked that they somehow had a good rating on yelp). *attached is a picture of what I asked for vs what I got read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Sokol is exceptional at his job.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] He provides thoughtful, accurate advice and stands out for his professionalism. read more

I've loved this salon since before they moved to the bigger place. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The staff is friendly, it's always spotless, and the atmosphere feels like a spa.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] But I won't be going back. I'd booked an appointment with Sokol (the owner) four weeks in advance, only to have my stylist switched last minute on the day of. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's happened to me twice now, but this time really stung because it was my birthday. I felt undervalued and even a bit humiliated as a customer.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Never again. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]This is the third that I have made an appointment there and when I arrived I was told that they had no record of the appointment.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I had email and voicemail confirmations and somehow they didn't seem to have record of them.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I will not be going back. read more

Marije was UH-MAZING! I went in for a blow out one Sunday evening after being so hesitant going to the salon since I've always done my hair by myself. But I came across DELAJ SALON on google, and booked an appt. I have always wanted to get a balayage but I was so nervous to ever getting it done because I've always dyed my hair BLACK. The day I went in for a blow out I explained to Marije how nervous yet excited I was for something new and I couldn't resist and I booked an appt for 2 weeks. I then came in for my NEW HAIR AND I MUST SAY I LOOOOOVE IT. Marije took her time with me and she made sure I knew what was happening next, she said she wanted to make sure my hair was in good condition and would take her time with me. Pictures don't do justice! She was so sweet and I honestly love my hair! I feel so beautiful and can't stop looking at myself. Thank you Marije you're the best! I just found my new hair stylist! She's the best! Don't hesitant come and get your hair done with her! :) read more

Today, I had an appointment to see Sokol for hair dye and hair cut. I wanted to refresh my green hair, and you heard right, green hair. My roots were coming in, and it was terrible. I know I need to see someone asap. I need to make sure it was someone that I can trust with my hair. Sokol gave me what I want, and he listens to all my needs. He made me feel comfortable. He went out of his way to find green shades, so I can be 100 % ready for a wedding that I am going to tomorrow. Sokol, thank you so much for everything I will see you soon. read more

I had my hair done by Arta, she is fantastic and my hair it's as fun as I wanted it to be. She listens carefully and my hair ended up looking amazing. Am very happy! My eyebrows done by Eve, so sweet with Angel's hands. Amazing looking eyebrows. Highly recommended! Thank you Delaj staff for being so welcoming always. read more

Just another salon. Nothing spectacular. My previous hair stylist will spend 30-45 minutes on my haircut. They always made sure the cut was very thorough and exactly what I had in mind. A haircut in this place always felt rushed, even when I was the only customer in the entire salon. I pay the same price ($70-$80), but the haircut only lasts for about 15 minutes. I wish they spend a little more time with customers and not just go through the motions of trying to get it done as quickly as possible. read more

Have been looking for a salon for a haircut in the Bronx for a long time. As a resident, I've always traveled to my former borough, Manhattan to get my hair done with alright results, long wait time, hefty prices, etc. I am beyond pleased with my haircut and blowout today. Excellent cut by Sokol, amazing blowout by Jhon, and great chatting/hair wash with Maria. If you live in the Bronx, check them out. Highly recommend... and I AM PICKY about my hair. read more

I was very disappointed with my services here. [[HIGHLIGHT]]For my curly cut, there was no consultation. No expectations were set, only thing I was asked was how much hair I wanted taken off.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] As a girl with fine loose curls/waves, it is very important that a hairdresser knows what they are doing. I've never had such a halfassed job done on my hair. Typically with a curly cut, the hair gets brushed out and given a rough shaping. Then it is washed and recut once the texture has been brought out. And after styling, touch up cuts are made. None of this happened. I had my hair washed, then cut. He put a hair dryer on my head, didn't even make sure it was properly placed, which it wasn't, and started on another client. Mind you, I had only been there for 30 minutes at this point. I had to move my head so that the rotating dryer wouldn't hit me with each pass. Then after it turned off, I sat there for 10-15 minutes with still wet hair, while my hairdresser was with another client. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Finally when my hairdresser returned, he semi diffused my hair, and did not add any more product or ask follow up questions.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Very disappointing experience to say the least.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

After a very generous tip over 40% I was disappointed and upset with the results. I was thinking of getting my hair colored and trim. I asked for 2 to 3 inches taken off but was twice the amount. It felt like they were trying to squeeze very penny out of me. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They had brought up my acne trying to convince me to get a facial which was insulting and unrelated to hair.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

My daughter is 8 and they welcome her like all the other beauties. They gave her a beautiful layer hair cut suitable for a child and my daughter was extremely happy. Cost was reasonable and our stylists Was so sweet to us and you can see her in the photo. I left a happy client but even more one happy mommy . read more

Studio Delaj - Balayage on virgin hair - Hair Salons Near Me - Bronx, New York

If I could take back ever stepping foot here I would. They completely botched my hair. Asked for very slight layers in the front and just a trim on my ends. The ends are completely different lengths and the layers/bangs are so uneven it's ridiculous. My cut itself lasted like 5 mins, when I told the stylist that it looked uneven she insisted that it was not and that it was because I wasn't doing the styling that I would not be able to tell. I was told I could come back to get it fixed but when I showed the same stylist what was going on, she really tried to tell me that it was not uneven but that she could fix it. That's when I decided to go somewhere else cause if she could not see the problem then there's no way she was gonna be able to fix her mistake. They also state there's a 20% off for first time customers. I even spoke to the owner on the phone prior and was told that the junior cut and no style would have that promotion applied. When I checked out they charged me full price and swore the 20% was applied. I called back because I knew they had over charged me and wanted clarification. I was the then told that the junior cut was already a promotion and they could not do the 20%. This whole experience was terrible. Thankfully I was able to go to another stylist who could not believe how my hair looked. She did the best she could to fix it but it is not where near what I wanted. Now I have to wait to grow out my hair. Never in my life had u had such a bad cut. read more

Rodrigo really made sure I feel important and he listened to all of my concerns and customized facial to my needs, and recommended me skincare routine that I should continue at home for the best results.

Studio Delaj is a beautiful space! The owner and his employees create a welcoming environment. As a first time client (who was very nervous), my appointment was with Griselda. She was wonderful! She listened to my concerns and we had a conversation about the plan for my hair (which was in terrible shape). She was patient and kind. She put thought and care into her work...a true professional! Thank you, Griselda, for going the extra mile and making this mom feel good again! read more

Amazing haircut and what a lovely experience in the salon with Ivan. Warm, welcoming and super professional. No upselling of products. The space is so elegant and relaxing. Really a find in the middle of Riverdale. read more

I've had two experiences at Delaj. First was for my bachelorette party. I had my hair and makeup done. I felt the prettiest I ever felt in my entire life! Valentina(I think) did an amazing job. I had my clip ins put in by Miranda and she curled my hair. My hair was pure perfection. Everyone I encountered that evening couldn't stop staring! Today I went back to chop all my hair off and go as blonde as I could.( My hair started pretty dark and dyed) Miranda once again made magic happen. My new short blonde hair is perfect. I walked out with exactly what I asked for! Everyone at the salon goes above and beyond to give you a great experience. They offer you anything you'd like to drink(water, coffee, mimosas) Miranda and two other ladies checked in on me constantly. Both times I've been there my services have gone past 6pm and not one person complained. read more

UPDATE 08/2020: I had another great experience at the salon. This time I was seen by Tina. I initially booked with Miranda but there was a scheduling conflict and Tina stepped in right away to accommodate. My experience with this stylist was great, she also has a sweet personality and also knowledgeable about hair like as all the staff there are. She did an amazing job with my hair color and styling my hair type! I will continue to make the trip from NJ to visit this salon because of their consistency, great service and impeccable work. I will attach pictures of my first color where i wanted to go from dark brown to a caramel honey balayage and then my most recent visit with Tina where I wanted to go much lighter and golden. Both looks were nailed and exceeded my expectations! 12/2019: I was recommended this place by a family member who swears by their services; so I decided to take a chance and travel all the way from NJ to Delaj Hair. Firstly, I took an Uber because there is no parking however, as I waited I realized parking is easily attainable on the street and even right in front of the establishment. Miranda was my stylist and she killed it (in a good way)!!! I had a balayage done; my hair is dark brown and I wanted a honey color similar to that of Tyra Banks or JLO notable looks. I was afraid of the brass that occurs when going from dark to light but not with the magic of this goddess! My hair looks AMAZING. Maria was the second stylist to blow out my hair. I have naturally curly hair and she also did a great job. The atmosphere in this place is relaxing and upscale. The hospitality is there for sure as the team is warm to everyone that comes through the door. I might also add that I was late to my appointment by they were incredibly accommodating. The place seems to be busy so I would definitely recommend being on time because I think I just got lucky this time around. I will definitely make this my new to-go place. I highly recommend Miranda, again such a kind and truly talented artist. From what I saw while I was receiving my services, everyone walked out looking like a star! This team takes pride in their work and it definitely shows. Will be back again soon! read more

First time client , I came to Delaj Hair with a goal to have my hair as close to my reference picture as possible . I had box black dye in my hair from years ago and I knew it would be really hard to lift. Soko did my hair and he is AMAZING . He told me the truth and what to expect with my hair and really made me comfortable , we spoke about what color would look best for my skin and gave me his best professional opinion . No promises on my hair being exactly like that but he did magic! I recommend coming here 100% worth every penny ! read more

Studio Delaj - Sokol has been a life changer for me. He brought my hair back to life!!!! My hair has never felt healthier until I've been going to him. - Hair Salons Near Me - Bronx, New York

Been coming to Sokol for a few years. He gives great haircuts and does a nice job on highlights!

First and foremost, if you are Hispanic you will get racially profiled. I made an appointment with some and when I get there they gave me a Hispanic stylist. She was lovely but her skills are subpar. I am used to having quality work and for the price I expected more. I ended up fixing the disaster of highlighting on my hair. I was told I shouldn't cut my hair and then I was told it would be an additional $50 to blow dry my hair. I am NEVER going there again and I DO NOT recommend. Too pricey and horrible results. I would put a zero if I could. read more

Studio Delaj is the only place I will go to in Riverdale for a haircut. They also do a fantastic job with color and highlights. The last two visits I have seen Ivan who is terrific. He's funny and does a great job with my hair. While their former space was really cute the new space on Riverdale Avenue is so light and open, it is just beautiful. read more

Came here a few times for a wash and blow out. I had Maria do my hair. She does great work when she washes she really takes her time and massages your scalp and foams the hair in a nice lather. She also styles my hair in a bouncy hairdo that stays for 3+ days without touch ups. I like the products she uses as well. I think the price (40$ for wash and blow out) is also reasonable. Don't forget tips are cash only! I have not had any experience with the other stylist. read more

First of all, they make you feel like royalty. Truly. They attend to you impeccably. Offering beverages, always at your service. The new site is gorgeous, with a huge skylight allowing natural light to pour in, which seems very appropriate for a salon. I had my hair colored by Marije, who was lovely to work with. She treated me like family. Together, we decided how we would bring my greying hair back to a more flattering dark color, while leaving a few grew streaks to decorate my face. The owner offered helpful creative feedback too. She did an excellent job and offered to touch it up the next day if I didn't love it. I did return the next day just to do a bit more. And they welcomed me graciously and attended to be immediately. They are not just talented and creative stylists, but they are truly lovely people who make you feel beautiful and part of the family. I have found my new salon!! read more

I've come to this salon a couple of times now since I moved to Yonkers and they have been wonderful. The first time I came was for hair and makeup for my maternity shoot and oh my god, I looked and felt gorgeous! And the photos came out perfect. The stylist gave me exactly what I wanted and was also really good with recommendations on looks when I asked. I came back today for a haircut and balayage at 4 months postpartum (and therefore wanting to chop my hair off due to the hair loss LOL) and my stylist (the owner) carefully heard me out, made recommendations when I asked (they're so good at that) and gave me the exact look I wanted! From a COVID perspective, they are following all of the safety precautions including being masked at all times and socially distancing. Highly recommend! read more

Great customer service and super friendly. Soko is one of the best hair stylist I've been and he will most likely stay my hair stylist for a while lol. Highly recommended. read more

I had a beyond amazing experience here. Firstly, everyone was warm and welcoming. Secondly, the environment was hip and chic. Lastly, but most importantly, Miranda, LISTENED to what I really wanted and gave me EXACTLY that. She perfected the color I wanted, by using the technique I preferred, while simultaneously protecting my hair from damage, seeing as my ends have had a lot of color in them. I can't rave enough about what a stellar experience I had. Absolutely, I will be back and definitely recommend anyone who has a challenging color request to go to Miranda. Hair care professionalism at its finest! Bravo! read more

I had a good experience the first time I went, so I tried again. This time, rather than doing what I asked the stylist just did what she wanted to with my hair. I told her to keep the same style just shorter (an inch) and the same style was not even kept and much more hair was cut off than I asked for, after I asked for a small fix amd when she was done she just continued to cut more hair off. I thought I found my spot in the city but I guess not. read more
