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🙏🏻.
Ali akduru saçlarımı istediğimden iyi yaptı
Ali did an amazing job and was very gentle with my hair
I had long hair and was losing a lot of it, so I decided to go short and I’m so glad I did! I booked with Ali after reading great reviews, and he absolutely lived up to them. He clearly knows his craft. His technique and attention to detail were excellent. My hair feels light, healthy, and amazing. I trusted Ali…
Ali Kaduru will make you even more beautiful then you already are. He is very talented and will make your hair exactly like you want or even better. I highly recommend this salon, everyone is always very friendly.

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. I appreciated how he made sure I was happy every step of the way. I left loving my hair and…
First time getting my hair cut in NYC! House of Beauty was such a warm and welcoming space. And my hairdresser Ali took such good care of my hair. He did a wonderful job with my wolf cut.
First time going to House of Beauty today and I had a great time! Everyone was super nice the moment I entered the salon. I immediately connected with Ali about us both being from Europe. He did the most amazing job with my hair! I asked for some structure and swept sidebangs and he effortlessly delivered. My new go to hair salon in the city!
I had a wonderful first experience at this salon with Marco! He cut and colored my hair, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. I came in with a general idea of what I wanted, but Marco was so helpful in guiding me toward the cut and color that suited me best. He was incredibly attentive throughout the process,…
Just got a haircut today and absolutely loved it!!
I’ve seen Ali akduru four times now for 3 years and every time I am happy with his work. AND he is the loveliest person! ❤️❤️
Tony is the best!!! Such great service and the staff is all very kind.
My favorite hair salon in the city! Ali is incredible and so skilled. I trust him with my haircuts and blowouts. I’ve recommended him to my friends and everyone loves him!!
I did full gloss hair with Tony! He's very knowledgeable and gentle on hair. His also amazing with haircuts and hairstyle. My hair would hold curls up's to 3 days!!! I highly recommend Tony he's the best in NYC 🙏🏼
I just moved to NYC for college and was definitely scared trying to find someone who could cut my hair. Google told me house of beauty was the place to be and they didn’t lie! Ali did a great job styling my bangs and adding layers
I had such a great experience here! My stylist Ali is very professional, friendly and really listens to what I want. He always does an amazing job with my hair and I leave the salon feeling so happy. Highly recommend!
I went to get a haircut from Tony, and I’m very happy with the result! Even though I arrived late, he took his time with my hair, and styled it into face framing layers. The place was very clean and the service was great as well.
Ali did an amazing, amazing job with my hair! I came with long straight hair and left with beautiful layers and bangs😍
For my first time with Ali, I felt very comfortable. He was literally so focused on his work, I felt like an hour had passed, but it only took him 30 minutes to cut my hair. It's beautiful; I felt like he was styling a doll's hair. The techniques he uses to cut my hair are ones I've never tried before. I'm very…
Had an great experience with Marco. He is very knowledgeable about hair and truly takes pride in his craft. I left with shiny, healthy, fresh looking hair. It did end up quite a bit shorter than I hoped for though.
Marco is the best! I swear his blowouts are like time released or something. It just looks and feels more beautiful as the day goes on and even into the next day.
Marco was a great stylist, he was super nice and did an amazing job on my hair!
I had a great experience with Marco! He was thorough, attentive and meticulous. I will certainly be back!
Marco was amazing! As he beautifully said: he was “speaking in motions”! His haircut and highlights were impeccable. The summer look brought to perfection!
My favorite hair salon in the neighborhood. The staff are all so friendly and attentive - I feel very well taken care of each time I visit. Clean environment and good vibes only. Highly recommend!
Marco did a fantastic job with my balayage! He listened to what I wanted (and didn’t want) and created a beautiful natural color and blend. Everyone was kind, and the salon felt clean and relaxed!
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…
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!
Great haircut by Ali, he is so talented and kind! 💟 I will come back for sure.
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 :)
Ali Akduru is amazing! He does my cut and color every time and does an amazing job. I always leave House of Beauty feeling fabulous:)
Got a haircut and blow dry with Marijana and it was great! I came back to her and even got my highlights done. Super professional and really took her time to get the look I wanted!
Super happy !! I had a very nice experience with Ali. He was super professional and very skilled in his work. I received fantastic personal service from everyone who worked there, and was very happy with my results. I toned my hair and got a nice cut. I would 10/10 recommend this place, and especially the talented Ali!
Absolutely love this place! The staff is incredibly kind and welcoming. Ali did an amazing job with my hair. I got highlights and a cut, and everything turned out perfect! He really listened to what I wanted and made sure every detail was just right. I’m so happy I finally found a hairdresser in NYC that I can…
I got THE haircut at House of Beauty. Ali was warm, professional, witty, and knowledgeable. It was a comfortable environment, would definitely go back. I love my haircut so much!
Had a great experience getting my hair done by Ali. The most perfect highlights and cut!! 100% recommend- the best place I’ve been in nyc
It was my first time at the House of Beauty NYC. I booked a haircut + color with Ali. He was incredibly gentle and methodical in his styling! I could sense his experience + passion for his work sitting in the styling chair. Please be aware for new customers though, organic color is different from regular color…
