This was my first visit and I will definitely be back! Wendy did a fabulous job washing my hair and massaging my scalp, and James was so precise, efficient and understood the vision I gave him from 2 pictures. Yola was also hospitable and made sure I was taken care of. Overall it was a clean salon, approachable staff, and quality service! Didn't feel like I was being rushed or ignored. Love my new hair!! read more

Clearly unlicensed. Has no idea what they're doing. Ruined my hair. Thanks a lot. Never coming back here ever. $12 for a haircut. You get what you pay for. I went in and the guy who cut my hair clearly didn't understand me even though I tried to clarify extensively. It was pretty simple anywayI asked for a three. The guy gave me a one and messed up the buzzer around my ears and just clearly was never taught how to use scissors to cut hair. He also just shaved my neck line way too high up. The owner blamed it on me and said my neck line is too low. She insisted that I pay her the $12. Can't believe I actually did. This is actually the worst haircut I have ever had. I went across the street to Rudy's and got it fixed for another $25. They couldn't bring back the length but at least it wasn't totally lopsided and ridiculous looking. Next time I'll go there or literally anywhere else. I gave myself better haircuts during the pandemic with clippers I bought at rite aid. read more

Best hair wash of your life. The chair is fully reclined so there is no strain on your neck. You're laying flat while you get an amazing hair wash. It's a double wash with conditioner. She spends so much time scrubbing and scratching as well as massaging your neck. Sometimes I go just for the wash and the blow out is an added bonus lol! I usually see James to blow my hair out and it always comes out bouncy and big just how I like it! I don't get a full styled hair cut here but I have gotten trims in the past and it's always good. read more

I have been coming here for 10 years. It is my favorite go to salon for haircuts, quick blow outs and 3-4 times a year my keratin treatment. Prices are unmatched for the quick reliable service. Yola and her team are the best. read more

This is a great salon where the stylists know their stuff. I went in once to go from natural black to a dark brown (135+tip) and again recently to go full blonde (280+tip). Each time I went the stylists advised me on what would be best for my hair in terms of style, cut, and color. The color service always come with wash, cut, and blowdry. They also massage your scalp and shoulders when you do the wash. My hair feels extra silky and bouncy after. Definitely a hidden gem in the neighborhood. The regular hair cuts for men and women are pretty affordable too. Shoutout to James and Sally for always doing an excellent job, my hair especially being long and extremely thick is a lot of work. Excited to be a regular here! read more

Swing Time Hair - Hair Salons Near Me - Astoria, New York

I'm a guy who always went to a barbershop that had tv's on ESPN and serious bro-vibes. I get the attraction. I started to get tired of my barber being high and taking 30 minutes to cut my hair, constantly distracted by the convos. I also paid WAY too much. At Swing Time, you don't get tv's or distracted, stoned barbers. James, my preferred guy could teach a master class to these buddy boy barber types. He is a technician. The cost for a cut is $14. The value here cannot be overstated. 15 minutes max. I can't speak to women's service, but ladies or guys, send your guy to James and Swingtime. Great haircut. Thank you James! read more

Walked in just before noon on a Sunday and was taken to the shampoo chair in like 30 seconds. Usually, I don't like getting my hair washed at the salon because the person will be too rough or it'll put a strain on my neck. But that's not an issue here. The lady was careful and gave me a massage on my neck that I really needed! What a nice treat. I had waist-length hair and got a wash cut blowdry for less than $50 in just under an hour. I also really liked that they didn't try to sell me anything extra. Normally, my past stylists would comment on my grays unprompted and try to get me to color it or do some treatment, etc. They didn't do none of that. I'm already considering going back for another service next weekend. I absolutely hate taking the N train on a weekend but I would come here again. read more

I've been going here for the past few years now and the experience is always fantastic. The owner and staff are very friendly and accommodating, James is by far the best barber and hair stylist Ive ever had. He always makes sure your haircut comes out exactly how you want it and really takes his time. He is a master at his craft. read more

I always come to swing time for a wash and blow after work. Yoola, the owner, is the best and so friendly. Sally gives the best massages and very gentle when it comes to washing your hair. I do my highlights here as well and they really take their time on you to make sure it comes out perfect. The strands are even on both sides and the color always comes out just how you requested. Couldn't recommend this place more. read more

I have been going to this place for years, ever since it opened. I wanna say they even took photos of my hair after my first blow out and put it up on their website :)) My hair is super thick, long and curly. To think that I can be in and out in around 30 minutes and only drop $20 for a blowout is unheard of so I take advantage every chance I get. I have never had my hair colored there or any other service. If you want a great, fast blowout then this is the place for you; just make sure you bring cash as they do not accept any cards! read more

Swing Time Hair Salon is my go to place for all my hair needs for many years. I've moved to NJ and still travel to get my hair done here weekly by James.

Thank you to him and the rest of the staff at the salons for top notch service! read more

My review is way overdue! I cannot say enough about this place! Absolutely the BEST salon! No appointment necessary with fast service. Super friendly staff! Not to mention very affordable and competitive rates! You get this relaxing shampoo head massage at no extra charge by these wonderful ladies. Youla the owner is just the sweetest who truly cares about her customers. She's always welcomes her customers with a smile. James is my stylist and my go to guy! He cuts and blowdries my hair perfectly! James is professional and just a great person! I've been a loyal customer at Swing Time Hair Salon for over 3 years and wouldn't go anywhere else! read more

This place needs to be shut down immediately. I came in to get my roots done, very simple. I had healthy platinum blonde hair that I treat very well. I left with chunks of hair FALLING OUT OF MY HEAD. My hair started falling out when they were leaving in the bleach too long. I asked to wash the bleach out and was told no. They SAW the chunks of hair falling out and only said "don't worry don't worry". Not only that!!! But the lady with the dark brown hair literally tried to put a BRUSH through my WET bleached hair and I had to physically stop her. Now my hair is utterly destroyed and more than half of it has fallen out. I left this salon sobbing. MANY years of healthy hair care destroyed in 3 hours with these people. Steer clear of this place!!! If anyone has any advice in what I should do please help. This is sick read more

Absolutely Talanted team. I did highlights, color and a haircut there. And, all that for $130 (the only thing, cash only). I didn't catch anyone's names but the women with light-ashy-brown hair did my highlights and it came out gorgeous (no yellow, beautiful white, even better than I asked for). And the a bit older men cut my hair. Also, I showed the picture and he cut it even better than expected. At first, I thought they did not understand what I want but when I saw the result - I was amazed. And, I am a super picky person with hair. Highly recommend!!! +++ read more

Swing Time Hair - It looks even better in real life - Hair Salons Near Me - Astoria, New York

Hard to beat a men's haircut for $12. Language barriers sometimes make it a struggle to tell them what you want, but if it's simple and just some numbers on the buzzer then you'll be fine. read more

I took my son here to get his hair cut. He has longish surfer-guy type hair. He needed to just get a trim and some layers cut in so he didn't look like me circa 1976 bowl cut. I told this to the stylist and he said ok. He then proceeded to butcher my son's hair, cutting about half the length off. He didn't so much put some layers into his hair as take out uneven chunks such that my son's haircut looked like he had a losing fight with a weed whacker. I'm not sure if this was because the stylist didn't have the English skills to understand what I was asking for, or if he was just incompetent, but what I am sure of is that I have a pissed off young boy with a bad haircut and nothing good to say about this place. Pros: Very cheap Cons: You get exactly what you pay for. read more

I highly recommend Swing Time Hair Salon! I have been going to this place regularly since 2011 (6 long years!) for cut, style and color. I have been brunette (very dark) and this salon successfully turned me into a blonde, with no damage. I'm currently doing the reverse journey. Trust the stylists here 100% read more

I'm always on the lookout for a local business I can support and Franky I'm tired of paying $200 for haircuts in the city and some of the local options I've tried before we're not much cheaper than my trusted Manhattan salons, yet much lower in quality. So I was hesitant about this place. I've been getting my son's hair cut here for months and last month my mother came here for a haircut and was very happy with it. So I decided to try my haircut here and was very happy with the result. And finding such a bargain within walking distance from my home really freed me up to give well deserved tips to both the stylist and the shampoo lady (who also gave me a head and neck massage!) I mean a $200-300 service is nice and all but after tipping it leaves you bankrupt, it's nice to have a decent place in the neighborhood. Pros - great prices - walk ins welcome - fast service - massage included in wash Cons - no frills salon - hair on the floor - language barrier with staff - not too friendly read more

New York is not normally known for its unbelievable bargains and yet, every once in a while, the stars align and you end up walking into Swing Time Hair Salon. True that it's not the fanciest salon in the world, but don't let that deter you. The stylists are friendly and the (ten minute!) pre-style shampoo/head massage is, in itself, worth the entire cost of service. While I have not gotten a cut here yet, I do come in frequently for a shampoo/style and Swing Time consistently delivers beautiful work. They do not scrimp on the details even when there is a line out the door. I have not seen a single person leave the salon with an ugly or dated 'do. Oh, and the best part, with longish hair I pay $18 for the entire thing. Considering that's approximately the cost of a vitamin water and a protein bar these days, it's one heck of a deal. read more
