HairStudio1724 SALON & SPA

Well the staff seems nice.
I called for a walk in and was told a lady was coming in to braid my hair so I went to the shop, and I get there and she’s doing someone else hair. Okay.
So by the time she’s ready I can only wash and straighten my hair. 40 bucks okay.
You u don’t get one hair dresser they switch around as you’re getting it done.
Well my hair is shoulder length and she trimmed it, not even an inch.
I’m still trying to understand how I paid 75 bucks for this service.
Reason because we washed and blow dried your hair with flat iron and trim service…
What?
On the service list it said 35 for wash and flatiron so… how is it that I paid double and then some.
I am NEVER going here again.
And oh my hair is frizzy again. Good Stuff.
Go to the Dominicans down the block save 50 bucks and get it done with little wait and correctly

Overpriced and definitely not worth it. I paid close to $ 100 to wash and straighten my natural hair. It was frizzy by the next day. Never again.

I’ve been here a few times now so I can give a pretty good review of this salon. I come here for a press and trim. I have natural hair so I good salon and stylist is hard to find. I see Joan when I come. Every time I come my hair is done very well. I have absolutely no complaints. I always get compliments. She is very consciousness when doing the trim. I have been to salons that go crazy once they get a pair of scissors and you wind up with a haircut instead of a trim. Staff and owner are very friendly
The do take appointments but they also take walk ins. So this means you could have made your appointment a week ago for 11am and then someone can walk in 10:30am then when you arrive you are waiting for an hour before you get serviced. This has happened to me a couple of times and it is frustrating. Just walking in doesn’t work that well either. What does work is calling the day of and asking if your stylist is free or busy and make an appointment based on the current flow of the salon.

I visited the salon on Saturday, ¹⁰⁄₁₀ after making an appointment earlier in the week for a full set of Tammy Taylor nails with Nikesha. I had been searching for a certified Tammy Taylor nail tech forever and finally got a number from the company that brought me to Hair Studio 1724.
The first thing that pleased me was the security door. It’s good to know that no one can just walk into the salon unannounced, you have to be buzzed in. Once you’re in, you feel a sense of upscale-​ness (i know it’s not a word) because the salon is neat and tidy, and the décor is modern and well designed. The staff I encountered were all friendly and accommodating. The banter was light and fun — no gossiping or cursing which can be a real turn off sometimes. We laughed and talked about the great soul music that was playing, and all in all I enjoyed my time with the ladies.
So about my nails… I wanted a full set of pink and white sculptured extensions and I got exactly what I asked for. I told Nikesha that i wanted my nail bed extended to make my hands look longer and more feminine. I also wanted a slight curve to them and she provided. She took her time and made sure that my requests were granted, and i could also tell that she takes great pride in her work. She was easy to talk to and I’m happy to say she’s my new nail tech. I had to drive a great distance to get to her (from the Bronx to Brooklyn), but I’m happy with my nails, so the trip is worth it. Once you find that person that knows how to take care of you, you cant stay away!
If youre contemplating a visit to this salon, I highly recommend it. My first impression was much greater than I expected and I’m looking forward to exploring more of their services in the future. While there I discovered that there are stylists who specialize in natural/​protective styles including weaves, extensions and crochet braids, in additon to the traditional relaxer/​coloring services that salons offer. There is a spa on the premises too, so its the perfect place to go for a pampering day.
Note: There is plenty of street parking, but bring several quarters for the Muni-​Meter.

This place is a complete rip off. They list a press and curl for $ 55 but charged me $ 80 and couldn’t even explain why. Don’t waste your time or your money going here. This place should get negative stars.

This review is long overdue due to the fact that I’ve been going to this salon for more than two years. This salon is fabulous. For a woman of color I can get the best of both worlds. Stylist are exercised in doing both natural styles and treated styles as I’ve gone to this salon for both of my phases.
Point #1: the salon is clean. Sam is an educated and welcoming receptionist. No matter if your getting dreads or coming for a weave, she will make sure to give you the right information. Phones are always picked up and it is a breeze to schedule appointments.
Point 2: affordable. As a woman who’s tried a bunch of these new trendy natural salons, I’ve gotten some of the same results (or even better) at this salon. I’ve experienced some ridiculous prices (I.e 100 bucks for a rod set… girl bye) Here it is approximately half the price. I’d rather get more bang for my buck than pay huge prices at trendy salons. Ur not going to get Dominican prices but for the results you get. it is a steal. They also use good products to do your hair.
Point 3: versatility. No matter what hair texture you have… This is the salon for u. I’ve been natural for a year and a half and I am known for going through both curly styles and straight styles. One of my annoyances is to leave a salon that I just got my hair straighten and to have poof hair hours later. This salon does a great job of either maintaining my curls or keeping them straight without any use of chemicals. There are braid specialist, weave specialist, color specialist, etc. All of the stylist are experiences so I never have to worry about requesting specific people when making appointments.
Lastly, the owner is really sweet. She’s on site almost all the time. She’s very passionate about her work. If there were any time I had an issue, she’s always resolved it. Point to take away. .check this place out.

HORRIBLE customer service… I wanted a double process color so During the consult (which was done by the receptionist area smh) she just glanced at my hair and said it would be $ 80 with a treatment. The price seemed great so I went along and scheduled an appointment for 9:30 am thinking she will do a thorough consult day of. When I arrived at the salon there was only one stylist there washing her clients hair she had no idea that I was there for a scheduled appointment. I told her who I had the appointment with and she ask me to wait. She continued to attend to her client ignoring me not giving me any notification of where my stylist is. I waited until 10:30! And went to another nearby salon. Never ever will I go back or promote this salon. I will continually spread my bad experience there.

Let me start by saying the salon is quite nice and clean and very modern all the equipment seem to be quite new. I walked in, I did not have an appointment; I came in for a wash and to add a pony tail. I waited about 45 minutes before the receptionist came over to tell me that somebody cant remember her name would be taking care of me; almost 2 hours later she came over washed my hair, let me just say the best part of my whole experience there was the wash, she could wash the hell out of your hair I was in heaven; it went downhill after that. She finally called me over to do my «pony tail» now I did not ask her to make me look like Beyonce; she could not even do a simple pony tail, she tried 3 times to pin a pony tail that I have had done a 100 times somewhere else off course. Another hair dresser had to intervene and pin in my pony tail and it was still a disaster because she pinned it in up after about an hour and styled my hair and made it look like I had a stupid crown on my head, lols, off course at the time this was no laughing matter. And then then she sprayed my hair with all kinds of spray to high heaven. After all is said and done, the receptionist is obviously right there watching me and at the same time looking in the mirror making sure her weave is on point, doesn’t even apologize for the disaster with my hair; all she tells me is the price and tax not even, let me take something off for your bad experience at my salon. Since it was my first and obviously last time there.
From the other reviews I’ve read maybe there only knowledgeable in natural hair so they should stick to just that; if you want a hot classy hair do, DO NOT I repeat DO NOT go to this salon, you will not be happy.

My overall experiences were less than spectacular. I gave the place 2 stars for the following pros, but I’ll more than likely never patron this place again and will definitely never recommend it to anyone.
The pros are…
1. The shop is nice and clean.
2. Twist out/​dread stylist (forgot her name) can do a style from a picture and does a fairly neat/​tight job.
The cons are…
1. They never start on time. What’s the point of making an appointment if y’all have no intentions on honoring it?! I’m not talking ¹⁰⁄₁₅ minutes late either. I’m talking more like 30 minutes to an hour.
2. The price quoted over the phone is always severely less than what I actually get charged in the shop. WAT?
3. The same twist out/​dread stylist that I mentioned above can’t seem to work without adding hair. My hair is long and thick enough to be braided/​twisted without additional hair. She always pushes to add hair because she claims the style will last longer. That may be true, but then she goes on to add way too much and it’s a pain to take out. I personally think it’s a ploy so they can charge more for the style.
4. On my last visit, I made an appointment for two people with two different stylists so that we could get serviced at around the same time. Upon arrival, we were told that we’d have to get serviced by the same person which meant we were there all day. They should have called us beforehand to alert us to the change to see if we wanted to reschedule or something. #rudeandwrong
As you can see, for me, the cons outweigh the pros, so I’m done with them.

I’ve been naturelle for over a year now so my weekly/​monthly visits to the salon have been over for quite some time now. I really wanted to get my hair braided after rocking my ‘fro for too long, so I was referred to this salon by a colleague. From the moment I saw it, I couldn’t believe how stylish it was. The staff was friendly, the place was spic and span, and managed by strong African-​American women. This salon is definitely a step up from most beauty salons that I’ve gone too. I absolutely loved the décor and how close knit the hairstylists are with their customers. I was waiting on one particular stylist so I wasn’t too happy on the wait time before I even sat in her chair, but the finished product and her willingness to make sure that I was completely satisfied with my do, won me over. An added bonus are the emails I now receive thanking me for visiting, hoping I return soon for other services, and updates on deals and discounts. Brilliant! These ladies truly know what they’re doing and they do it well. Kudos to these ladies and to the studio’s management team who only opened their doors less than a year ago.

This place is clean and tidy, all of the equipment is new, and the customer service is SPECTACULAR!
I have natural hair, and I’ve been here a few times to get cornrows. They always come out beautifully! Ask for Sinsea (I’m not sure how you spell it) if you want natural hair care!
