Querida Beauty Salon

I’ve been coming to Querida on and off for the last 5 years and it’s truly the best I’ve experienced. The only con to the salon is that you have to get there SUPER EARLY (not kidding!). Other than that, I’ve never had an issue and have waited maybe, 20min for a chair, which was while I had my hair shampooed. The only thing you should worry about is telling them you only want X amount of hair cut (some of them get scissor happy). Other than that, they’re the best!

Altagracia is amazing! She has a great hand with cuts and with color she is a master! I have been a frequent patron at Rita Hazan, Pierre Michele, Bumble & Bumble just to name a few. She colors my hair and highlights my hair without damage. She also relaxea my hair. When I have gone blonde from dark brown she did it gradually and it was golden not orange, brassy or red. My undertones are red naturally and she has managed to get it golden blonde. As far as cuts, my hair has grown tremendously since just allowing her to cut it. It went from shoulder length to past my bra strap into the small of my back.
I am currently natural brown with caramel highlights. I brought her a picture of lea michelle and she mirrored it. I showed her jessica chastain bangs and she did them perfectly couldn’t be happier. When i lived in miami I would fly up to get my hair done with her. Now I have my friend from Arizona come up to cut and color her hair with Altagracia too. Its been a yr now she is flying up in 2 weeks. My only issue is the obnoxious loud music the owners play.

Luz is fabulous!
Querida came up on my search for hair salons after my regular hairdresser started slacking off and thought I wouldn’t notice the terrible «layers» she gave me; I have terrible luck with hairdressers because as soon as I find one that I love, they start taking advantage of the fact that you’ll keep going back to them.
But I’m so glad I found Luz and Querida beauty salon! I walked in around 6 pm on a Friday (I think they close at 7) and Luz took me right away. There didn’t seem to be a line but I hear they’re pretty busy on Saturdays so I prefer to go on Friday. Luz is one of the few ladies that speak English so we didn’t have a problem communicating, me in my basic high school Spanish and her in broken English.
She washed my hair thoroughly, re-​layered my hair, set them with rollers and under the dryer I went for about 30 mins. After my hair dried, she blew it out and styled it wavy just the way I wanted and finished it off with some hairspray =)
So to recap, I had a wash, cut, and style (long hair) for only $ 30!!! Even more reason to love this place!
Oh and CASH ONLY!

it was a little expensive might come back

Love this place!!! The ladies are very sweet and cut really good. Prices are cheap also, so it’s a perfect spot. I would deffinently recommend this place!

I been to this place twice. The first time I went, Luz did my hair. She did a good job and did not burn me with the blow dryer.
I went there the other day and Luz was not available. So I allow Flowmaria to do deep comditioner and blow dry (BIG MISTAKE!) First of all, she was sloppy when she shampoo my hair. Water was going down my back and she splashed me in the face so much I felt like I was being baptise.
Second, she burned me a few times, I still have burn sensation in my scalp. I don’t want to hear that it’s common for customers to get burn by the blow dryer. When Luz did my hair she did not burn me. No every domincan woman burns people heads off. I did not feel comfortable and relax during the time I was getting my hair done.
Third, Flowmaria did not give me a proper consultation when I asked her questions about hair care. Usually hair stylist would suggest what to use and how to manage your hair. It was pulling teeth to get her to explain as her answers were vague.
And Fourth, she charged me more for the service. When I was there 2 months ago, I was charge $ 25, now She charge $ 30. Does this mean, she’s going to charge me $ 35 the next time. Thanks but no thanks, I’m going to find a different salon closer to home.

I came here from SoHo on a Thursday night after work. They take their last walk-​in at 7, and I walked in at 6:45. Luz (got her name off the business card on my way out) took me to be washed immediately (hadn’t even taken my coat off!). Skip past the nice warm, vigorous wash, deep conditioning, quick roll job – and I walked out with one of my best blow outs ever. If I didn’t live so far (Jersey City) I’d make this my new spot! But I will definitely come here if I’m ever in a pickle like I was tonight.

First thing, this place is cash only. In the header of the company review it says they do; they do not.
I went early, because I know how salons get on a Friday evening. I wasn’t sure who to go to and my Spanish is terrible but my bf lives close by and I really didn’t want to trek to Washington Heights to my regular masochist.
They all seem to be really good, though I noticed the tall, chubby, lively one had the most customers. She’s pretty good and pretty quick. I feel like they’re less friendly to non-​Spanish speakers but at $ 15 wash and set on a Friday, they can be as mean as they want. I loved my hair. They need some newer blow dryers though… they almost all had tape on. Still, it got the job done.

Great service and prices. I highly recommend this salon.

I would give them a 5 but like most salons they get crowded and you spend more time there than you originally plan to.

I’ve been to Querida a couple of times since I first went last fall and I actually really like this place. The ladies here do an excellent job. They’re very skilled at what they do and they take their time. You won’t feel like you’re being rushed at all and its quite relaxing if you ask me. From the moment I walk in I immediately enter a relaxed mood.
In most salons the stylists are in a hurry to get you out and don’t realize how important it is to make the hairstyle come out just right and make the customer feel comfortable too. I love how at this salon you get the comfort, the relaxation, and the style. The money really is worth it. At Querida’s the blow drys are very pretty, bouncy, and you walk out as if you’re holding a wig on your head. Haha. Its true!
In my opinion atleast.
I highly recommend stylist ALTAGRACIA. She works MAGIC!
I’ve always had my hair come out so shiny and bouncy when she has worked on my hair amongst many compliments too.
Go and get your hair DID! Its definitely worth a visit ;-)

$ 15 wash & set. Awesome job. Luz or Maria do my hair but all the ladies seem to do a fine job. Minus 1 star for the tiny shampoo lady. She gets you soaked, scratches to hard in only one spot, hair never feels clean & she doesn’t do rollers. So if your hairdresser isn’t ready for you, you will wait with wet hair. Lesson learned, just wait for the hairdresser to wash you.
