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 an amazing experience here. Tony did an amazing job with my cut and blow out, he is so nice and asked all the right questions. I gave him a really general idea of what I wanted and he gave good opinions when i asked what i should do. I will def be coming back again :)
Had a great experience with Elena! Love how my hair turned out! The balayage looks so natural and blended, and the cut was exactly what I wanted. Great overall!
Woody gave me the perfect bob!!!!! He was so kind, talented, and instantly understood what I wanted and executed it perfectly. So happy to have found someone who I can trust with my hair at an affordable price!
I had my hair cut and colored today by Woody after seeing all of his great reviews, and I can absolutely see why he’s so highly rated! Woody did a PHENOMENAL job. He really took the time to understand what I was looking for and made thoughtful suggestions that felt tailored to me and my hair. My hair looks and…
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
Ali is absolutely amazing! I've been coming to this salon for over three years, and he consistently does an incredible job. He's talented, attentive, and always knows exactly how to create the look I want. I leave every appointment feeling confident and loving my hair. Beyond Ali's exceptional work, I absolutely…
Hit up Woody! I got a haircut and blowout. I have curly-ish hair, and Woody met my expectations completely! He did fantastically. House of Beauty is a great place to go! High recommend.
Woody was the best! He and the other staff were so hospitable. I showed him pictures of the haircut and he knew exactly what I wanted, he did it even better than I imagined. Highly highly recommend!!! Will definitely be coming back.
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. Beyond being talented, he was warm, welcoming and such a pleasure to chat with, his charming French accent only added to the experience. While…
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!
first time coming here and at first was skeptical but the staff made me feel welcomed. Elena did such an amazing job on my hair, I will definitely be back for my next coloring session. Thank you so much for making me feel beautiful.
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 had an excellent experience all around! Very welcoming, Woody gave me a gorgeous haircut with styling, and I enjoyed my coffee! I will be back, for sure.
Best hair salon in uper west side !
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…
This is my new favorite place to go. Elena is an amazing hairstylist . She did an amazing work with my hair and she is very professional. I really recommend her.
This is the best hair salon I’ve ever been to my hair turned out so good
From the moment you enter this salon, you are greeted by kind and caring people who truly do their best to make sure you are satisfied. Their effort and dedication are really admirable, and they provide excellent service. Elena is the best—be sure to ask for her!
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…
Great haircut from Woody! The entire staff was very friends and welcoming.
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 got my haircut and a blowout by Woody on Friday and he was so attentive and curled my hair as part of the service. It has held up so well the past few days with a good bounce and curl still and I’m so appreciative that he put so much time into making sure it looked special! Would highly recommend and definitely will be back!
Incredible hair cut by Woody- superb!
Loved my time here and the results! Woody did an amazing job considering that I had a lot of hair. I got a haircut with a blow dry, along with some curling. Thank you again!
I was looking for an affordable, quality haircut in the neighborhood - The House of Beauty was just the place! Although I got a simple cut, it was executed perfectly and my stylist gave me good feedback and ideas. Much more affordable than some of the other salons nearby.
I had a great haircut and blowout at The House of Beauty. It was very quick and done with a lot of care. Merci beaucoup Woody!
Great salon. Friendly and started my appointment right on time. My haircut was exactly what I wanted.
My wife had a haircut and blow dry there as a new customer. She is quite dissatisfied with the haircut. I think the person who cut her hair did not communicate much with her, just did his own thing. She will not return to this salon. $100+ down the drain.
I came to this salon and Tony did my haircut and blowdry. This was the best work I have gotten in the city. He has great attention to detail and technique, all paired with kindness and generosity. He also does exactly what you ask him for and exceeds expectations! Thank you!!
Woody was excellent. He listened to me, gave his thoughts and recommendations and proceeded to give me the best cut and style I’ve had in years! I look forward to my next visit! The salon is clean and staff friendly!
Woody is the best stylist I know for color, highlights and styling. He’s a master.
Woody is simply the best. I always struggle to find a stylist who understands my thick Mediterranean hair and gives me a clean, sharp cut without over-doing it. He nailed it.
I had an amazing experience at this salon. My stylist Woody did a great job. Def recommend ✨
Had the best haircut ever with Ali! He immediately knew how to add volume to my thin hair and had a clear vision for what would suit me—and executed it perfectly. He mentioned he loves seeing people’s reactions when they see their hair, and I can see why—I’m absolutely thrilled! Even my boyfriend said I look…
Ali Akduru is an amazing hair dresser! I wanted to get a cut and dye my hair and we talked about what some good options would be according to my skin tone and face type. I’m so happy with the outcome and would only go to him in the city!
Ali did such a great job with my haircut and blowout. His attention to detail was impeccable and I loved the finished look. He really takes the time to make sure everything is just right and would check in with me throughout the cut, which made me feel very comfortable. Can’t wait to be back!
I was really pleased with Mr. Ali Akduru. Everything was perfect, thank you🙏🏻.
