Absolutely thrilled with my experience! I’ve been on the hunt for a great hairstylist on the Upper West Side, and I’m so glad I found The House of Beauty. After reading tons of glowing reviews about Ali, I booked a haircut—and I’m so happy I did! From the moment I walked in, the warm and welcoming atmosphere made…

I’ve been going to Tony every week without fail, and I can honestly say he is the best in town. It’s so rare to find a hairdresser in the U.S. who truly understands and can execute the classic Lebanese wavy style—but Tony nails it every single time. His work is on par with what you’d get in Beirut, and to have that…

Marco gave me one of the best hair services of my life yesterday. I got a great deal on a haircut and blow dry and he far exceeded my expectations. The wash was so relaxing, and the haircut was exactly what I asked for and looks and feels amazing. I highly recommend Marco!

Ali makes miracles happen! This is the first haircut that I’ve ever been completely happy about in all my years of asking for “long layers” from dozens of hair stylists in the NYC area who could never bring my vision to life. My hair is stubbornly flat and Ali somehow managed to give it movement and volume. I would recommend him to everyone :)

I come for blow outs and styling. Ali is simply excellent- listens and delivers! Always get compliments after his blowouts. Ali’s recommendations are spot on, even when I’ve been unsure. Marina provides the very best shampoo massage - truly unequaled.
