Beba Blue Salon

Went here for a quick spray tan so I didn’t have to show up to my christmas party white & pasty. Wasn’t sure what I was going to get but was pleasantly surprised. The tan looked natural, no streaking… I’d go back again. This is a no thrills place, the inside is nothing great but to me it didn’t matter. If you want fancy this isn’t the place for you.

Great location, convenient to everything NYC!

Stay away from Doreen, she completely destroyed my hair and all I asked for is a trim. She used a scissor like a razor, when I asked for a quick trim.

Dorina does a great job. She’s very careful and conscientious. I got a cut with single process color and a few foil highlights. The salon in general is hectic and understaffed. Be sure to bring your patience when you go because there will be interruptions. But all in all it’s good experience for the price.

Needed a quick blow out as my hair was having a bad day needed it fixed to meet a client. I walked in
Walked in, done and looked great. StFf was courteous and friendly.

Every time I’m in New York, dragging around a suitcase, I stop in this this cute place for a quick chair massage if I can. The staff is really welcoming, and they keep the light airy space very clean. As a chair massage connoisseur (kindly stop the judgment), my standards are high — but I really like this place!

I am always getting compliments on my hair. Well, not always. Only since I started going to Beba Blue. Dorina is an expert colorist and stylist. She loves to make people look as good as they possibly can. I am so happy to have found someone that great! I love going to Beba Blue. Everyone is so nice there and makes you feel so welcome. Beba Blue is my happy place :)!

Awful place! Do not go there!!! The place is dirty, outdated, no a. c running during the summer and the so called «stylist» couldn’t do a simple blow dry!!! I had to wash my hair as soon as I got home as my hair looked dirty and damage. The new guy who claims to be a vet successful hair stylist is awful. I’ve never had someone blow dry my hair so badly– he had no idea what he was doing! Seriously rethink who you hire… And for anyone reading this, try to avoid this place. There are other salons around the area.

I am shocked to see that this place still runs and people have good reviews for it.
I went in earlier for a wash and blow dry and I was told that I would have to wait for 15 minutes. They said they would wash my hair and that the person who would dry my hair was drying someone who has short hair and would be done quick.
I say yes sit down to wash my hair. The lady clearly doesn’t know how to clean a scalp. She was extremely rough on my hair and she also let water flow all over my face and back. Then she takes me to my chair where I wait with a wet head for 30 minutes without anyone even checking with me if I needed anything or giving me a time estimate. Then I ask how long it’s going to be and the person has supposedly gone away. I wait another 5 and nobody even then. So I say I m leaving cuz it’s been 30 minutes and the lady says that’s the price you pay for a walk in. Extremely rude I m never coming back !

I have good hair to begin with, but in the wrong hands my tresses can end up looking like a bird’s nest. Or a mushroom.
Or worse, like Rachel’s from «Friends.»
But at Beba Blue, I come out looking gorgeous and chic every time!
I trust Doreena with my hair. She’s thoughtful, careful and thorough. I’m not very fussy with my locks, so I give her an idea of what I want but also creative freedom. And I always get a different but fabulous cut.
If, however, you’re timid about making a dramatic change to your look she’s great at working with your comfort level. Like a good stylist she’ll offer the best suggestions for you but she won’t push you to a decision you’re not ready to make.
Either way, you end up walking out of the salon with a bounce in your step and smile on your face knowing how fantastic you look. I’m happy Beba Blue is my go-​to salon, and I hope it becomes yours, too!

I first got a haircut from this salon last year in November, it was no fancy haircut just a haircut to get my hair healthy again since bleaching it blonde damaged it because I wasn’t taken proper care of my hair. The haircut was fine, nothing out of the ordinary, good price for the walk in special for haircuts they have. I was too scared to get my hair dyed because I wanted a hard color for my blonde hair and partial black roots. She had given me pricing before and a consultation, so I recently walked in and asked if someone could go ahead and color my hair. Lillian asked me to see the pictures of the color I wanted and she was very helpful in informing me how the look I wanted could be achieved by giving me two options. I was very certain I did not want to bleach my hair again, and she made a miracle happen by giving me the color I wanted without bleaching my hair. She passed me off to the Italian lady; I can’t believe I forgot her name. But she basically colored my hair and was very nice, patient, and I had no doubts. Everyone was super friendly and my hair came out looking really well done. I recommend you ask a lot of questions like I did; she even tested some of my hair before she colored it. That’s what made me feel much secured and a happy client. I’m not sure if I can post pictures but I will if I can.
Pros–
Great atmosphere (music, people, venue)
Great prices (for location)
Great stylist!
Great consultation!
No Con’s but I would say if you just walk in ask for a consultation that is how they got me back in the salon. I felt like they understood me and could help me with what I was trying to achieve.

Very friendly neighborhood vibe salon!
They go out of their way to cover your needs.
Good prices not high but not low.
I always come by when I need something done last minute from hair gloss, style or waxing.
I definitely recommend it.

So I was desperately looking for any salon that will take me last minute for hair cut. I walked by this salon and walk in. The owner Lillian came up to me and told me if I like my hair now. My hair was so dried, flat, brittle, and bad ombré. (Previous hair job disaster) She layered my hair, fixed my ombré, and deep conditioning with natural products. It came out total $ 200 but it was sooo worth it!!! I love my hair now. It needed work. Usually the haircut it’s only $ 30 but I needed so much work and she took time on me.

I really wanted to like this place more as the owner, Lilliana, was very nice. However, my blowdry did not last the next day and if you go downstairs for your nails to be done it is floor to ceiling boxes. Also, there was a dog in the salon that was shedding.

Great cut — need just a little work on service. Tabitha Coffey would have a heart attack at a stylist chewing gum. They have a coat check, but don’t actually take your coat — your free to hang your own coat. The client shouldn’t have to explain what type of cut they want more than once. Three times is a little excessive. They need to charge the same amount for cash or credit in this day and age. It’s called «the cost of doing business». Also — when the client asks for change to be able to tip the stylist, don’t tell them to go next door. The hair cut — excellent. Service — needs a little work.

I’m shocked by all of the good reviews of this shop. Perhaps it’s because I’m a man and they don’t normally cut men’s hair.
All I can say is that the whole operation seemed amateurish — it felt like it was everyone’s first day on the job. The girl who washed my hair made me dry it myself.
What?
The woman (presumably the owner?) who «cut» my hair wielded the clippers as if she had never held this strange device in her hands ever at any time in the past. Also, I asked for a #1 setting and she used a #2. She kept bumping my head with the damn thing and the cut was ridiculous and uneven.
What?
I finally said «Fine» and asked her to stop. The sign outside said «Haircuts $ 35» but she charged me $ 38. I’m so stupid I tipped her on top of that.
She said «Next time, the tip needs to be in cash.»
What?

Popped in here to fix a hair disaster that I did to myself. I had been dying my hair black for years and years and decided that I wanted to go lighter. I bleached, and bleached and bleached and FRIED. To no avail, I was still very dark!
I had a consultation with Lillianna, who assured me that she can at the very least make me a beautiful copper red by using highlights. I went back that very evening and spent almost 3 hours in her chair and what she did was nothing short of a miracle! She did a full head of highlights, and made my black and multi-​colored hair look AMAZING. The highlights are a blonde/​copper and the rest of my hair is a medium brown/​red. It is GORGEOUS and I LOVE HER.
I plan on going back every 6 weeks to continue highlighting until all of the black is gone and I am a gorgeous summer blonde again. Yippie!
THANK YOU!

I LOVE THIS PLACE! I’ve probably got my haircut here four or five times already and have had a great experience each time. Liliana is a superb colorist and gives great haircuts. I always get a ton of compliments after I leave her place. I highly recommend Beba Blue if you need a good cut.
Plus they do mani/​pedis and have a great coffee shop next door — you can’t beat it!

Stop what you’re doing; whether you need it or not — get to this salon and get your hair done!
If you doubt the seriousness of the 5 stars I’ve given this place; go read my reviews of the other places that have done my hair. I AM NOT JOKING.
I walked into this magnificent salon after passing it on the street. I was met with the most beautiful décor and some seriously friendly people. Veronica, Lilijana and Enrique are the nicest people I believe I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting in this cold, frigid, heartless city. What a breath of fresh air this salon was!
Veronica was the first to blow my hair out and she did SUCH a good job. My hair, if you’re not tired of hearing it by now, is dry, coarse, curly and colored so blow drying it is not for the faint of heart. Veronica took on the job and man, did this blow out LAST. I got a lot of compliments on it too!
I went back a second time and Veronica colored my hair. I looked in the mirror the next morning as though nothing had happened. THAT’S what I call a great color! She is spectacular and so ready to please! She is young and cute and is really so much fun to have my hair done by – I really like her!
I got my hair done by here again and it, AGAIN, was PHENOMENAL!
Had an appointment on another day with her, but she was out not feeling well so another girl (and I am so embarrassed that I didn’t get her name, but she’s a cute blonde Italian girl with the sweetest disposition EVER) did my hair. I was blown away AGAIN! People in the salon were talking about it, that’s how fabulous it looked!
It is very apparent that you cannot go wrong with anyone in this salon. They are all so professional and seriously interested in making you happy — I believe that’s their primary goal — so get in there as fast as you possibly can!
They will have to close for me to stop going there. Srsly.

The other day was my second haircut with Liljana. She is an absolutely phenomenal hairstylist and I was thrilled with the cut but…
1) She completely overbooked and it took her 2.5 hours to finally take me. I asked to come later in the week and she kept telling me it would only be a ‘few minutes’.
2) She allows customers to bring their pets– not ordinarily an issue for me. However, I dealt with pet vomit and urine. Fun day!
3) The shampoo girl completely soaked my back to the point where I had to place a robe on and allow them to dry my sweater downstairs– mind you it was near freezing that day.
4) She apologized profusely, but still charged me the full $ 75 to wash/​cut/​style my short hair.
There have to be other exceptional stylists who run their businesses in a more professional manner in this city. I’m done!!!
