Tony is truly the BEST hairstylist I’ve ever had. I’ve been seeing him for almost two years now, and I honestly can’t imagine going to anyone else. He does my cuts, blow-dries, color, and more. Every single time I leave feeling so confident and happy. His bedside manner is unmatched. He is sooo kind, patient, and…

ALERT - do not go here unless you want to leave burnt! I went for a balayage, cut and blow dry using an offer on groupon three days ago. I was hoping to find a new place closer to my new apartment and figured it would be good to try using Groupon. Immediately upon getting there I was told that I was supposed to have…

I had a great experience at this salon! My stylist, Marco, did an amazing job. He really listened to what I wanted, and when I showed him a picture for reference, he took the time to explain what would work best for me.

Huge fan of Ali!! I consistently go back home out of state for my usual stylist, and this was my first time not going there. I got a balayage and cut with face framing layers-Ali captured my vision perfectly and took the time to do so even after half a hour after salon hours. Highly recommend going to Ali for color and cut!

Here in NYC you will find hair stylist on almost every other corner but rarely you will find talented artist. Ali Akduru is that talented artist. He did amazing work on my hair, he listened and did not only exactly what I wanted he did better then that. You can trust him with your hair, he will not disappoint. I'll be returning customer for sure!

I went to get my hair highlighted via the balayage method and have a hair date with my mom who got a haircut. Everything started out great, staff seemed nice, especially the assistant, ended ok even though I got layers when I specifically asked for no layers and my hair was styled in a way I would never.
