I went in for a trim and told them 1 to 1.5 inches max off my hair. The cut ended up being 5-6 inches off my hair. My heart dropped to my stomach I was devastated because I had spent over a year growing out my long hair. The stylist was way too careless and heavy handed. It's a long haired girls worst nightmare.…

Ali Akduru did a fantastic Butterfly Hair Cut on me. did better than what I wanted. I absolutely loved this place and got so many compliments! Ali is incredibly professional. 💕 He took the time to listen, analyze my hair, and explain how my face shape, hair type—even my neck and shoulders—affect the right haircut…

Avoid this salon – Shady pricing, terrible results, and unacceptable behavior Save yourself the time and money. Ali Akduru is completely unprofessional. Front desk pricing is never transparent; every time you ask for a quote, you get vague answers. I’ve visited four times, and the price increased significantly…

I had a great experience as a walk in on Friday. Nicki took her time and cut my hair just like the pic I showed her. Everyone was friendly and I loved how the cut turned out... I highly recommend Nicky and this salon

Woody gave me one of the best haircut experiences I’ve had in a long time. He understood exactly what I wanted and executed it perfectly! It’s not easy to decide on bangs.

I was just visiting NY and decided to get a last minute haircut with Ali. He was great! He listened to what I wanted, but also gave me his professional opinion. I only got a trim but I was very happy with the results. Would definitely recommend!

Marjana is amazing. I'm a man with longer hair and she does such a great job cutting and styling it. I've recommended her to some of my friends too and they also have nothing but praise for her. She's the best!

I went in for a haircut and blowout. Nothing exciting. Just a trim and shape up. He kept asking me if I wanted "wavy" hair for the style. And I said, probably 3 times or more, no. Somehow, I ended up with not wavy but tight curls. I look like a poodle. And I couldn't tell you if the cut is any good because of this…
