Hair Bar NYC

I’ve lived in the city for 10 years and have gone to a lot of salons and this one by far is my favorite! Everyone’s so nice and I always leave obsessed with my cut and color. I tell everyone I know to go there! Highly recommended!

I have been a customer since 2013. I came to the salon because I purchased a group-​on for a keratin treatment. It was the best thing I’ve ever done. Everyone at the salon is wonderful especially my stylist Brittany Simone. She is a boss with color, keratin, and everything else. I highly recommend this salon and Brittany in particular. It’s a great place.

Love this hair salon! I needed to get my hair professionally straightened for new years eve last min and after calling 5 other salons, this one had the availability! My hair stylist took her time but was able to get it done quickly! My hair was super straight! (I know it’ seems silly to go to a salon to straighten my hair, but I don’t own a straightener anymore and it was only $ 10 if I came in with my hair washed and dried!) Thank you Hair Bar NYC

My hair is so silky and shiny after my Keratin here! I got the 24 karat treatment which you wash out after 2 days. I would definitely recommend getting keratin here.

Bought a groupon for Keratin decided to color my hair. Showed Brittaney the picture and she nailed it. Excellent service will definitely recommend!!!

This is an amazing place– and their customer service is great. You can really rely on them to value the customer.

If you want your hair to look amazing, please go and see Brittany!!! She has done a Demi Color in a Dark Plum Color (almost black) and it has been perfect for the winter months. It has already been more than a month my hair looks just as shiny as when I got it done. There is still color in my hair, just more subtle. I have a picture of my hair 2 weeks the dye. Thank you Hair Bar NYC!

I came here a month ago for an Ombré, and told my stylist BB that I was ok with a light brown as my hair was stripped from black about 4 months back and I had been waiting to lighten very slowly.
Ive also been trying to grow my hair out and am very self conscious of the length so it was very important it wasnt damaged.
I left with half of one side 2 inches shorter than the rest, and my hair feeling like barbie hair even after two weeks of treatments. She used so much bleach my hair was snapping off for weeks, I cant wear it out because one whole side is shorter than the the other and in such bad condition. I hate leaving bad reviews but this experience was so stressful, expensive and upsetting, especially seeing as I didnt even want to be blonde that day.
I’d be careful with color at this location.

Great service and fabulous results. I did the strong keratin treatment, and I am glad I did. I washed it 24 hours after, and it was pretty straight still, but since the second wash, it’s beautiful and wavy. It looks so healthy and shiny. Love it! I will be going back here as long as I’m in NY!

As usual, amazing service! I did keratin, cut and color and I love it! BB always does an excellent job!

I came here due to a groupon and the suggestion from one of my clients. I will tell you — I have the CURLIEST hair ever. (Okay… Maybe not ever, but my hair is kinda cray)
Anyways I got the keratin for 99 on groupon and made my apt. They were very sweet on the phone which was a pleasant surprise as most phone demeanor in Manhattan seems to be annoyed and rushed.
I won’t lie — I was terrified getting my hair done. Usually I’m super chatty with anyone I meet, but with this I was sooooo scared. Mostly because I didn’t know how my hair was going to hold this treatment or anything.
Everyone in Hairbar NYC was soooo nice and so accommodating. They got me some coffee, told me exactly what was going to happen, explained the level due to my hair and texture. They made me at as ease as I possibly could have been.
I also got a little bang trim cause they were definitely out of control and turning into normal sized hair pieces. They look perfect.
After waiting the suggest 3 days (I waited 4 cause I always wait an extra day just because) washed my hair and I am in SHOCK at how well the treatment worked.
I have always had to blow dry, straighten, restraighten, omg my poor hair. I literally let it air dry and haven’t touched it with a hair straightener since. I am in disbelief how amazing this is and how much it has changed my life.
Hairbar NYC is amazing and I seriously and highly suggest it to anyone who is even considering getting a keratin treatment. They will make you feel at ease, comfortable and your hair will come out flawless. I will definitely be coming back for all my hair needs :]
Enjoy!

I came here almost 5 months ago for a keratin treatment and wanted to wait before writing a review to comment on how well it lasted.
WOW.
I purchased a groupon for $ 99 for a keratin, cut and style. I read reviews that recommended Brittany/​Bebe and wow she did not disappoint!
My hair ended up costing more, about $ 160 or so since my hair is insanely long! But this was to be expected as longer hair takes so much more time. I was really impressed. The girl at the front desk was very pleasant and sweet and Bebe went TO WORK on my hair! She gave me exactly the cut I wanted without being scissor happy like most other stylists. That is a HUGE plus in my book!
If you haven’t had a keratin treatment with formaldehyde before, just know that the fumes from it can make your eyes water a bit, and even more so when you’re applying heat from a blowdryer! Bebe said she forgot her contacts which usually protect her eyes, she kept applying the keratin and continued working on me despite the fumes bothering her eyes. Idk how she did it but I am glad she did!!!
SHE’S OBVI A SUPERHERO STYLIST
So it’s been almost 5 months and the keratin is still working its magic! I will go back in a month and happily get another 24 karat keratin treatment!
I previously went to Y Gallery in Soho for a keratin about a year before. Not only did it cost more, it lasted less than 3 months. Hair Bar is now my go to keratin place!!!
Bebe was ahhhmazing
My keratin was great
So excited for my next appointment
I SRSLY CANNOT WAIT
(Yes she’s that amazing that I get poetic on Unilocal

First of all, I never write reviews on Unilocal,but my experience at Hair Bar NYC was so great that I really had to leave a review and recommend them.
I was very nervous to get a Keratin treatment in New York, because I have been doing Keratin treatments for the past five years every 6 months in the same salon in Paris (I am from Paris). But because I moved to New York, I really had to find a good hair salon here.
So let me try to keep it short and simple: the treatment at the salon went by so fast (2 hours) instead of usually the 3 hours I spend at my salon in Paris (my hair is VERY long, almost to my waist), the staff was super friendly and very professional asking me questions about my hair and how usually treat them giving me advice, and the cherry on top, the price is great at 99 $ (with a supplement of 75 $ if your hair is long like mine). After washing my hair, it was still straight, shiny and smooth, I only had to quickly blow dry them for 5 mins. I did not even had to use a straightener to style them because they were already so sleek and straight!
On a final note, I am definitely coming back for my future Keratin treatments, and I even recommended to my mom who usually goes to the same hair salon in Paris, but who is going to wait to come to NYC in January to do it at the Hair Bar.
So thank you so much Hair Bar NYC!!!

This is the best Hair bar location in the city, let me start off by saying that– it is an actual salon– midtown is like an attic and full of keratin fumes, and 3^rd ave was under construction when I was there. Note: Their computers and or credit card machines are almost always down, so be prepared to bring cash. On a positive note though, if you like them on facebook & Unilocal (review), they’ll give you 10%of their already reasonable prices… basically the tax. I’ll take it. They do not gouge you for services, they include the cut with your services, unlike most other NY salons, and they listen. This is not your fru fru salon, and if you do not mind that, you will be very happy here.
I met Brittney and explained what I was looking for but was a bit panicky about my hair to begin with– aren’t we all to a certain extent? Not only was I going from a very dark brown to what I wanted, a tortoise shell look with honey and caramels. THEN, we were going to chop at least 4 inches and keratin straighten it. It was a complete new look day and the excitement made me nervous. Luckily I was pointed in the right direction by another of their salons, and will never be going to another stylist for many reasons– she listened, wanted to give me what I want, didn’t make it into a whole production and just did it. I was comfortable and relaxed throughout the process, and I left with a new look! The results speak for themselves, and I left glowing!
I had been to two other consultations– one said for $ 275 they could only do one color balayage and then $ 100.00 cut. This would not include a keratin. Another salon said they’d have to bleach so much of my hair, I would lose a lot of hair. I walked right out.
Let’s just say I went with my gut and set an appointment with Brittany for all the services I received (ombré and 3 color balayage with keratin & cut), and I left with money in my pocket.
It is always nice to know you are in the capable hands of a colorist & stylist but the salon does not upcharge just because it is in NYC. That thoughtfulness goes along way, and I will be back next time to go lighter and shorter– it was so fun!

Just had my keratin treatment done again last night, this time at the Madison Ave location. I wanted Emily to do it as she’d done such a great job last time but she was with another client so Rebecca helped me out. The girls there are very nice and Rebecca did a great job. While I absolutely love the result of my keratin, I felt it may have been a little rushed which leaves me wondering how long it will last– I made sure to run my flat iron through it some more once I got home. Also, I know I have ridiculously long hair and my ends are shot but I felt like the pulling on the tangles and ripping them apart was a bit much– I’m not tender headed at all but I had a serious headache afterwards from the brush and comb jerking out my tangles. But, happy with my results anyways. :) Note: I had to pay $ 45 extra for the length of my hair.

My stylist Joanna was the best! But not only that it seems like every employee at this establishment is very kind and they complement each other work which makes it an even more comfortable environment to be in.
Pros: First off my stylist is dominican like me. It the was funniest but most wonderful coincidence; she initially swore I was Indian and I thought she was from Trinidad. She is was very sweet and informative. She knew right away I was going to be picky with my hair and she explained the different treatments that was available and why one will work best than the other. I went with the strongest treatment (4% I believe). She also didnt cut my hair too much (thank god) because she said I just needed a clean up. At the end she explained to me the aftercare «NO LOREAL»!
Cons: None
Will definitely return!

Gina Cohen (spelling?) is my girl!!! I love her and I love this place. They constantly have a Groupon-​like deal going, so you can just walk in and get your hair done for the price of a Groupon deal. What I don’t like usually about the Groupon deals is that you can only go once for the discounted price, but I was looking for a Salon I would see consistently. They charge me between $ 100-​$ 140 for my Keratin depending on how long my hair is.
The staff makes you feel like you’ve been friends with them forever. Beyond just the staff, the Keratin product is GREAT. They use their own brand so you won’t find it elsewhere. Its STRONG so beware if you have sensitive eyes or lungs, but it gets the job done. They also sell their own branded shampoos, conditioners, masques, etc. Their keratin in my hair lasts forever, whereas most other salons I go to it washes out within 1 month, which is very frustrating. Gina also lets me do a touchup on just my hairline, which is perfect for those awkward in-​betweens.
The last time I went I got color with her done as well, which was of course great. She is a one-​stop shop! I also go to the Madison Ave location sometimes as well, she works part time there.
Feel free to message me with any questions, I’ve also attached photos!

Last Thursday was my first visit in this salon– and definitely will not be the last. I had a great time there. I chatted with their regular customers and also the staff. They were all very welcoming. I know that you are reading this review bec you want to assure your self that you are choosing the right salon. And I don’t blame you. It’s hard, I know.
Girl, everything’s gonna be alright. The staff know what they’re doing. Book an appointment now. You won’t regret it coz I didn’t.

My first experience at Hair Bar was not the best, however the managers Marion and Leah went out of their way to make sure that my second experience was exceptional!
Suzy did an ombré, cut and blowout on my hair and it turned out amazing! I showed her pictures of celebrities and she was able to match the picture of what I wanted perfectly! She took her time and was so detailed! I really appreciate her effort. She is a great stylist with an amazing personality and I will definitely be going back to her. I can’t wait for her to do my keratin treatment.
If you’re looking for a high quality salon without outrageous NYC prices, this is the place to go! And ask for Suzy!

It’s about time I’ve written this review… and the timing makes sense, as I just chopped my butt-​length hair to above my shoulders! There is no one in the world I would have or could have trusted with such a big change than my stylist at Hair Bar, Brittany.
Brittany and I first met over a year ago, when I came into Hairbar in a panic on my boyfriend’s birthday, looking for someone to fix the mess of a dye job an uptown salon had done weeks before. It was always difficult for me to find someone who knew exactly what I was looking for in my color — let alone my bangs! Little did I know, my search ended with Brittany.
I walked in, panicked and a bit frazzled, on a Saturday evening over a year ago (and this was after trying multiple salons up and down Little Italy and Soho, that were all booked up) and Brittany immediately did her best to fit me in, even though she was in the process of blow drying someone else at the time. I was decidedly nervous as my bangs had just been butchered a few weeks prior, but the moment she took my bangs, twirled them around her finger and cut them perfectly with barely a blink — I knew I’d found my girl. And I was right! I have trusted Brittany with my hair every five weeks ever since. We’ve not only developed a wonderful client-​provider relationship, I’m happy to say that Brittany has become a friend. Someone I very much look forward to sitting with for three hours every month and then some.
I got my first keratin treatment last October and loved it! But even outside of their keratin (which everyone has reviewed extensively here), Brittany simply understands what you want to do and when you want to do it. She has style, and pizzazz and and intuition for what looks good and what won’t. I’ve had the same haircut for a long time: pin straight hair down to my butt, and an upside down U-​shaped bang for bluntness. It took Britt a little longer than I’d like to admit to convince me just to do layers in it! And as previously mentioned, this past Saturday, we chopped it all off! It’s a really fun, choppy cut. With the added keratin, it’s incredibly easy to style and for the first time in my life, I’m really excited to have a cut with very little required maintenance.
Ultimately, HairBar is a wonderful salon. Not a lot of frills, but everyone is very kind and very welcoming. I laugh throughout every appointment, and I have never left unhappy. In fact, they consistently make you feel amazing no matter the time of day, type of style, or frankly, kind of person you are.
I recommend this place, these people and especially Brittany without reservation. Go! Today! Let her change your life for the better. :)
