Let me start this off by saying I almost never leave reviews on Yelp, but I have had such a positive experience with this hair salon over the last year or so that I felt I needed to. The people who work here are PROFESSIONALS in the truest sense of the word. From the woman who greets you as you walk in and washes your hair to the hairstylists themselves, these people work really hard and care deeply about your experience at their business. The haircuts are top notch. I will not get my haircut at any other salon for as long as Techni Salon remains open, which I hope is a long time! read more

Steve is the best! I've been going to him for years now, and he always does such an amazing job on my haircut. Love this salon! read more

Techni Salon Ny - Got a haircut from Steve the day before covering the "Dune: Part Two" premiere - Hair Stylists Near Me - New York, New York

I had my hair colored by Vincent and although it was a great Hair lighting job, it was not the color i wanted. I asked and asked for golden highlights with a much lighter streak in the front. When it was finished I was disappointed and let him know it. He argued with me, basically telling me i was wrong that the ashy color was not ashy! I left thinking maybe there was some wrong with my eyes. However, just returned from a friend who also said "your highlights and hair looks "Ashy". Vincent does not believe he could be wrong and when i asked him if i was not happy in a few days would he fix it; he ignored me and told me it is golden. It Is NOT! This is unfortunate as their prices are decent/ not great. Half a head of highlights "wrong color" and blow dry (before tip & tax) 240.00. read more

I've gotten my hair colored and cut with Carmen for the past few years and absolutely obsessed every single time. She listens to what I want and matches it without a doubt. It's to the point that I'm terrified to go anywhere else since I've had such bad luck otherwise - and I've been dying my hair since I was 16. 10/10 recommend this salon and stylist :) Also great vibe, very welcoming and very safe in terms of covid precautions. read more

So I went to Techni on a recommendation from a friend & I'm very happy with the results! I was paired up with Vincent. I explained that I had never dyed my hair (virgin hair) and adamantly refused to use bleach. He was a bit hesitant at first about getting the color I wanted without it, but he obliged. I explained that I felt like my sisters hair (similar texture) had totally changed texture & colors after bleaching & I needed it to be low maintenance. He seemed to understand well off my description and the one photo I showed him - he suggested "warm colors" & I was on board with a half head bayalage - he also, kept mentioning that the color would not be as bright without bleach - to make sure I was on board. He also stated my layers were too dramatic, so in order for the length to be better matched, he suggested a trim & thinning out my hair. I trusted his opinions on length & colors. I am super happy with how things turned out. I think this salon was efficiently run as well. Coloring your hair takes time, but there was always someone working with me, sometimes two. read more

Techni Salon Ny - Photo by Vincent - Hair Stylists Near Me - New York, New York

Techni is the best for hair color. The students apply it and always do a fabulous, thorough job. I'm happy with the quality of the color and get compliments. Kit is a wonderful stylist. He really listens and is respectful. The last stylist I had, Vincent - new to me - challenged me on what I wanted. I showed him a picture that two other stylists had previously followed without question to give me the cut I wanted. He gave me all kinds of pushback and drama; I felt disrespected and put down. Didn't get what I wanted. Not the kind of salon experience I look for. Will never use Vincent again. read more

TL/DR; Don't walk, RUN to this place! You'll love it. Wow! This place is amazing. I came in thinking I wanted another balayage but Vincent was so kind enough to step in and advise me on what he thought was better for my hair. I thought that was sweet and that he was considerate about the pricing too when he said that getting toner -- instead of another balayage -- would be cheaper. He also gave me a really great haircut. 11/10 would recommend! read more

I went to Techni to get a haircut (and am very particular about how I get my hair done). Steven was excellent and got my unique haircut done perfectly. Would definitely recommend! read more

The place was a disaster. The hair stylist was busy running around and taking calls and has his assistant that mixed the color and now my roots are red. I've mentioned that's not a hat we talked about. I wanted dark brown color. Huge mistake please don't listen to the reviews. This salon is chasing for getting as many clients and not caring about and listening to what I was telling him which I have mentioned it several times I wanted dark brown. Now I have to find another salon to fix this disaster. Do not trust this salon! Big disappointment. read more

I would give this place 6 stars if I could! I felt more comfortable with Jason than I have with any stylist since I moved to New York and that's saying a lot because it was my first time ever getting color! He did a thorough consultation, gave honest feedback on some of the pictures I had brought in, and his transparency and calm demeanor immediately calmed by nerves. The process was as enjoyable as sitting in a chair for three hours can be. Jason explained every step as he worked. The studio played great music, everyone was very sweet, and those were the comfiest hair washing sinks I have ever experienced. Overall, my new favorite salon. Thank you Jason, I love my new hair!! read more

I received the worst cut. I made an appointment with Jason my cut was uneven and he spent a total of 10 minutes. I was rushed and kept answering calls instead of providing a great cut. Please don't trust the high reviews. Avoid Jason and this salon read more

Jason is the best. I followed him to his new salon from Tease. I was happy to find out that he and a few of the stylists from the old place opened their own salon. It's a cute, modern space with a cool relaxed vibe. I am VERY picky about my hair and I have been going to Jason for years. Once I find a great hair stylist I am very loyal. Jason always does a great job. He spends time discussing what you want, listening and giving suggestions on what he thinks will work for you (always a good idea to bring pics of styles you like). He does not let you leave until you are happy with your hair (he'll keep tweaking it till you love it, he is meticulous). He does amazing hilights. Affordable pricing. Hilights (partial) and cut $148. (I think a cut is $37, and cut with blowout $50). What a great group of people at Techni! Though Jason is my stylist, I have watched Carman, Kit, and Vincent working on other people for years and the finished product is always great. Everyone walks out looking awesome! These guys are all very talented at their craft ;-) and all so darn nice! read more

I had not one but TWO bad haircuts before I saw Kit. Kit understood exactly what I wanted and he did a great job salvaging my hair. Since my haircut with Kit, I've gotten multiple compliments about it. I will recommend him to friends and family and will definitely be coming back in the future. read more

No words except THANK YOU! Carmen treated my hair and gave me a beautiful balayage. She asked a good number of questions to get a sense of the history of my hair and when I showed her a picture of a blonde balayage I wanted she was honest (but hopeful) when explaining that my really dark hair might not turn out how I wanted it. But we were both pleased with how my hair turned out!!!! $160, no cut or initial shampoo and conditioner, and I tipped $30. Very reasonable given an amazing color, frequent check ins, and an overall very comfortable experience for 3 hours. Thank you!!!!!! read more

I wish I knew about this spot earlier. Jason is really patient, who takes his time to understand the color and the hairstyle you want. Be sure to bring pictures, so there is no misunderstanding. He is very efficient and skillful. The best time to go is in the morning when it's slower, so you get undivided attention. They usually get busy around 3pm. Make sure you call to make an appointment. Jason's off on Thursdays. read more

I followed Vincent here from Tease Group down the street. A wash and cut, paid for with cash, comes in at $39 and change every time, startlingly affordable for Manhattan and for the quality. Vincent is quiet but pleasant and very, very attentive, always asking questions about the cut to make sure he gets it right. Sometimes I'm in the mood for a shorter cut and he's very careful, I really had to insist the first few times that I was trying to have short hair - he will not cut your hair too short, I know this is a big fear for people switching hairdresssers. I'm always out of the salon sooner than expected and very happy with my 'do. I've been offered free bang trims but never taken them up on it. Sometimes it takes them a bit to answer the phone but I've always been able to book and appointment for when I want it, sometimes even with very little notice. My sister and one of my best friends go here too. :) I'd really suggest this place to anyone, especially NYU students as the salon is right behind the Palladium building. read more

I started here with Jason, but he moved to the new location. Full review on that page! My sister recommended me this place and it's the best. Good pricing, easygoing yet professional staff. Not a large space, but it's pleasant! Vincent is my sister's regular stylist, I see him when Jason is unavailable or when I really want to get my bangs trimmed and he's available sooner. Thorough, friendly, and very skilled. He can be a bit anxious (about cutting too much off, but not often, I'm sure someone from his old salon asked for too much off and got upset.) A friend of mine has started going there since she came in with me for a bang trim. She's Asian and tells me many stylists don't know how to work with her hair, but she was very pleased with Vincent's quick work on her. read more

I rarely get my hair done- even with haircuts I'll only go like once a year. I wanted something different to change up my style and wanted to dye my hair. A friend gave me a recommendation to this salon and I impulsively booked a balayage! Vincent did my hair and educated me on what would look best with my skin tone and the end result was fantastic! I've gotten so many compliments on my hair and I feel so confident :) I have dark Asian hair, so my biggest concern was that my hair wouldn't get fried. It still feels so healthy and I definitely will be coming back!! read more

Techni Salon Ny - Hair Stylists Near Me - New York, New York

I've been coming to Techni for years for my haircuts (including when I took the plunge and got bangs) and trust them completely. I just got my first ever balayage and am so happy with how it came out! Looks very natural and really pretty! Vincent is my go-to but I've had good experiences with others here as well! Really professional and nice place with reasonable prices for the city. Highly recommend! read more

2nd time in here for a cut & blowout- I'm hooked! Had Vincent do the cut & blowout both times. He has awesome customer service and makes sure to consult you on every step of the process. He has an intuitive nature for hair but also is up to date with the latest trends. He will be up front with you - trust his opinion! I love that they take tips on venmo and also that they shampoo twice. It's a small but tidy space perfect for getting the job done. So happy to find a quality, reasonably priced spot in the neighborhood to enjoy a beautiful cut every few months. read more

I have trusted Carman with my hair for the past 5 years (when she was at Tease around the corner). She really listens to what you want (pictures help!) and isn't afraid to give you honest advice and make sure your hair is healthy. The prices are definitely reasonable but Carman is the reason I go back for my haircuts and coloring! read more

Been going to Vincent for hair cuts for a while now. He always does a solid job and I love his blow out. Not flat but wavy and full. Today I decided to try balayage for the first time. I was a bit nervous as I wanted to go lighter but not look "blond" and Vincent totally read what I wanted and delivered beyond. I couldn't believe it was my hair when he was done!!! The color was so gorgeous !! I highly recommend him! read more

Great haircut and experience. Needing a new stylist I researched best in the area and realized this salon was very close to my apartment. The pictures of previous cuts are beautiful and I called to make a last minute appointment with Carman and they took me same day. (Very grateful as I was also considering a tragic home cut!) She was professional and really listened to my concerns. The price for cut and blow dry are fair. Carman's advice was on point and I love the haircut. Hopefully when my hair is stronger she can do color next. Thank you! read more

Kit has been doing my hair for about 4 years now. He is very talented and I absolutely love him. I can trust his judgment when he says that he'd like to do or not do something to my hair. He's done, both, cut and color (balayage) on my hair and I never have had to worry about how it will come out. He definitely has a natural talent for the industry. Prices are VERY good also! Wait is very minimal, if at all. read more

My second time here. This time is for hair cut with Vincent. I love everything about this place. The staff is professional. And when they wash your hair and give some head massage - OMG, so relaxing! Pricing is fair. Thank you guys! read more

I had my hair colored for the first time yesterday by Carman. She looked at what I was thinking and talked through my options with me. She was honest about what would and wouldn't work with my hair style/length/natural color. Honestly, she did the best Balayage that I could ask for and I couldn't be happier with my new look. If you are skeptical about dying/balayage, definitely make an appointment with Carman and she will take care of you! read more

I moved to NYC 5 years ago and had to go through the diligent process of finding the right person to cut / style my hair.. I found Kit through numerous positive reviews at his last company he worked for (Tease). He takes the time to listen to what you need done and will work with you to make sure you walk out of there happy! You can tell he really loves what he does. Fast forward to today.. This place might be new, but the people who work there were the best at the last company they worked for and all moved to start their own great adventure ! It's a small place, meaning you'll get great care and attention. It's new, modern and has a very relaxing environment. Overall the guys there are top notch. The price is perfect as well. There is no need to spend 2-3 times more money at a Manhattan boutique salon! If you're looking for a new place to get your hair cut/styled then go to Techni Salon! Ask for Kit! read more

My only haircut spot in NYC. I followed Vincent here after he left Tease and could not be happier. My boyfriend also now sees Carmen and loves her! Everyone I recommend them to comes back with rave reviews. Inexpensive and so talented! You can't beat this $40 haircut. read more

Recommended to me by my boss and now I recommend Techni Salon to everyone! Jason is incredible. He knew exactly how to cut my hair and create movement. I have straight hair, but a lot of hair, and as it gets longer, it loses a lot of its movement and gets very heavy. Jason was able to cut within the hair and make my hair feel lighter while giving me subtle layers and didn't take much from the length. The movement was beautiful. I didn't got for an "extreme" hair cut the first time, but now that I had such a great experience, I can't wait to go back and get something a little bit more edgy! Professional, efficient, and affordable. Highly recommend! read more

Carman is the best! Been going to her and only her for 8 yrs. She'll work with you to give you the best color and cut. read more

Everyone is so nice too and the price unbeatable. read more

HAIR. For some of us, it means more than clothing. For others, it eventually becomes a way to engage the caring, and nurturing sides of family and friends, especially when it becomes unruly enough to give it (the hair) its own name. I am somewhere in the middle. Because my hair gets lengthy very quickly, I decided I wanted to do something different beyond the trim and long layers. My sister was due for a cut and color as well, so I took to today's source of inspiration: Instagram. I wanted something shorter and easier to maintain, but not a bob. Do you understand? When we learned that Jason had departed Tease and ventured to start up a new salon with others, I was very excited to check Techni Salon out. The fact that the world according to Yelp shows how much of a following Jason has is a good sign. The salon's vibe inside is very hip, but down to earth. The space is a little cozy, but the design behind this newly renovated space speaks to how much they invest in making sure you have an overall good experience. You feel like you're hanging out with cousins or something while you're getting just what you wished for in a coif. I showed Jason some of the aforementioned Instagram pictures and he told me exactly what he was going to do to achieve the look. While he's giving a cut, he's just a very easy person to talk to (but don't get too animated lest you move your head and your cut gets messed up). After the cut, he dried and styled my hair and IT LOOKED JUST LIKE THE PICTURES! If I could, I would come here every day to have my hair look the way it did after its cut and blowout. Okay, I'm exaggerating. And kind of not. Highly recommended obvi. They are very careful and precise with what your needs are, and are not shy about offering recommendations and advice. Yes, on hair. It means a lot. Right across the street is some dope coffee to rattle your head back to consciousness since, by the way, you get a decent sort of head massage while they're wasing your hair. read more

I got my hair done by Jason. Jason was informative about what he was doing before he would do it, and let me know the price before he started. I ended up going back the next day to darken my hair, and Jason made me feel so comfortable about coming back. Jason listens to what you would like, and asks very specific questions so that he knows exactly what you want done. Making an appointment was super easy. Prices are very reasonable. read more

Techni Salon Ny - Hair by jason - Hair Stylists Near Me - New York, New York

I am very loyal to my stylist in SF, but I *really* needed to find a place more local to get touchups and trims. Techni is the only salon that I can justify going to in NYC. The stylists at Techni are skilled and super sweet, aaaand they are super flexible with scheduling. They took me for a walk-in and had me in and out within an hour. If you're looking to build a hair relationship with a salon, Techni is an amazing spot! read more

UPDATE: 2019 update! Kit is still the best and he's the only one I've trusted with my hair since 2010.

I followed Jason here from his prior location. It is small but the space is efficiently used. Pretty much all the same pricing. I called the morning of my appointment and was able to get a haircut and blowout. I always bring a few pictures of what I want and Jason always delivers. I have also gotten keratin done with him in the past, which I was very happy with. I wish him luck with the new place! read more

Amazing every single time. No matter who you get when you go to the salon, expect to come out pleased with their work :)

I asked several times if they knew how to do hair donations and offered to let them read the specific steps. Long story short, my WET hair donation (first rule to donating hair - it can't be wet or it will mold) was unusable after being cut, and I walked away with a hysterically lopsided bob. One side is half an inch shorter than the other, and my right side is cut straight across while the left side has layers that look like it was chopped with a chain saw. And I was so disappointed that my hair was been ruined after I had grown it out to donate it. If only they had just taken time to read the steps. I went back a few weeks later after my hair grew out a little longer, but they said they were going to charge me to fix the mistake they made. This is the worst haircut I have ever gotten. read more

Carman is the best, i did color and trim my hair, 3 stars because they are terrible to make an appointment, i always call them and try to book an appointment with her but she is never "in" or she is totally book out, then i pass in front she is sitting there, probably they dont want to work? ‍ read more
