Hair Farfalla

Came in to get my hair done for prom. It was a quick wait and an easy process. Thank you Claire!
I only got it curled and it was $ 25.

Had a Brazilian treatment done a few weeks back with butterfly. Amazing results and I am so happy with the outcome!

Great salon and very convenient, they always take me for walk in blow outs and I never wait. I’ve been seeing Winner for a few months now, best blowouts and superb haircut. She styles my hair exactly how I want it and I’m always so happy when I leave. My hair stays styled for 3 days without washing it after I see Winner. I highly recommend this salon, everyone is so nice and accommodating and the atmosphere is comfortable, I especially recommend Winner as I see her weekly/​every other week for blowouts! –Cara

I like how this place is set up. I saw this place one day as I was walking down the neighborhood and have been eyeing it for a long time. I went there originally intending to get a deep conditioning treatment for my hair. The lady at the counter then had me talk to another Asian lady there who did not seem to understand what I was saying because she kept on twisting my words & somehow we ended up talking about getting highlights on my hair. I was disappointed that she did not attend to what I wanted. But anyways, I ended up just getting a wash & blow out because I desperately needed a wash (I hate when my hair gets oily and it gets oily after 2 – 3 days prior to my wash). I loved the shampoo massage! And I loved the outcome of my hair. The stylist did exactly what I had told her to. Very quick and gentle when blow drying. There are a lot of salons who make you feel like they’re ripping out your hair when pulling with a round brush during blow drying. I noticed that this salon doesn’t do that and I loved that. One star off because of the confusing consultation. But regardless, I love this place and will be coming back for future services!

I am so happy that I have discovered Claire and Hair Farfalla. Since retiring to U.E.S. two years ago, I have been going there weekly. The shop offers a very warm and pleasant environment. Claire is my regular, so caring and pleasant and does a wonderful job with my highlights and color and cutting and blowing my curly hair to keep a chic look, I get lots of compliments on. The other stylists I have used there when Claire was off have also been very good. The prices are moderate and in my opinion great value for NYC.

I’ve been going to Sienna at Hair Farfalla continuously since my first review and have been consistently pleased. I’ve even sent a few friends and relatives her way. Sienna is a very talented stylist, and has a great, easy going personality. I highly recommended her, and Hair Farfalla, if you’re looking for a relatively inexpensive cut in the UES.

Let me just start this by saying that it is NEVER a good sign when you are at a salon for 7+ hours.
I went into Hair Farfalla wanting a balayage/​ombré effect and a simple trim. I came armed with pictures showing exactly what I wanted in terms of coloring — my natural dark brown hair gradually fading into a lighter shade with some highlights stretching upwards to seamlessly blend the two shades. The stylist, Butterfly, seemed to understand what I was asking for and even showed me a picture in a magazine that was similar. Fast forward one and a half hours later when they sat me back in front of the mirror after rinsing out the dye…
I had thick, chunky bright-​blonde 90’s-style highlights all over my head that clearly showed she had not in fact understood what I had been asking for at ALL. When I said something she just said «Oh yes, too streaky… we can fix that «and took me back to the chair to slap more dye on. Fast forward ANOTHER hour and a half and the same thing happened — this time with my entire head a light shade of blonde with bright blond highlights stretching from my roots all the way down to the ends. When I explained that this is NOT an ombré and that I had not wanted them to touch the natural color at my roots at all, she said «We can fix that.» At this point I had been there for 4 – 5 hours and was exhausted. I decided to leave with her written promise that she would fix my roots for free when I wanted to come back in. I paid (STUPIDLY) and left, only to take a better look in the mirror when I got home and immediately return.
When I returned, they darkened my roots — which looked better — but still left me with streaky blonde highlights on the bottom portion of my hair — NOT an ombré, and clearly not what I asked for. At this point it was past 9PM (my original appointment was at 1PM) and I had no other choice but to get up and leave, realizing that there was no hope in getting my hair fixed there.
When I left, they seemed very proud of themselves, thinking they did a great job and that I was very happy (sorry, but who would ever be happy after sitting in a salon chair for 7 hours, period?) They even told me to make sure to «post a review online.» Well, here is your review.
Seriously, I am not one to typically complain to businesses or be overly nit-​picky when it comes to this stuff, but this was unlike anything I have ever seen. I’m still kicking myself that I initially paid and think it goes without saying that I will not be returning.

I’ve gone here twice and have seen Claire both times. The first time I went was just for a simple hair trim. Clarie did a wonderful job, she just took a short amount off which is what I was looking for. Oh, and the hair cut was cheap — I couldn’t believe it! I just went back last week for highlights. I have gotten a lot of compliments on the highlights and I love them so much. Not only does Claire do a wonderful job, she is beyond sweet. I would recommend Claire to anyone!

I love Claire! She does a great job with my hair dye and blow outs and is always so kind and gentle. I love coming to hair farfalla. It is such a wonderful experience all around.

Exceeded my expectations! The first time I came to hair farfalla I came as a walk-​in (they had a promotional $ 25 cut for walkins). I was slightly skeptical but my cut was great! For my second visit, I asked my stylist Butterfly to cover my gray roots. I have no idea about hair coloring, but she first went through my hair and covered grays and then put a color shine so that it would blend into my highlights that were growing out. The color turned out so rich and natural looking while keeping the highlights!!! I am so very pleased! Thank you Butterfly! The cut was again fantastic and the whole thing cost me $ 115 plus tip. Great neighborhood salon!

Great salon. Reliable service. I always get what I want. I’ve tried other salons and other stylists will want to do the latest cuts or do what they think I should have, but the stylists at Farfalla really take the time to listen to you and give you what you’re comfortable with. In my experience, they care about you as a client. Butterfly did a great job on my hair yesterday.

Walked in this morning to make an appointment for keratin and they took me this afternoon. Butterfly did a terrific job and gave me a non-​formaldahyde formula which I really appreciated because I have a toddler and I hate bringing chemicals home. Anyway, very happy with the result and she was kind and non-​judgmental about my bleached out, under-​conditioned, straw-​like hair. Would definitely recommend!

Great Corrective Color!
I walked in this salon needing HELP, because my hair was 3 different colors. I had been getting foil highlights for a while, but at my last haircut (a cheap budget place), they simply applied single-​process color to my roots, creating a weird reddish shade that did not match the highlights. I had been living with the 2-​tone color for a month and now the natural brown was beginning to sprout out. So I just walked in like «Help! Fix this!» Butterfly and her team did not disappoint. They expertly carried out a several-​step process that stopped the madness and left my hair a warm, buttery blonde; it looks so natural I might have been born this way. Thanks Butterfly!

I drop by this place every month or so and I’ve gotten to know the very friendly staff. My favorite person their is probably Sacura she’s really friendly and does my hair perfectly every time! The price of a shampoo and cut is around $ 25 a raise from the previous $ 20 which isn’t too bad considering they give you a head and neck massage while putting in the shampoo and the conditioner. I’m very satisfied with what they offer and love their cute decorations around the holidays.

Walked in this afternoon around 3 bc my other go to place had closed. Wasn’t quite sure what to expect. Was pleasantly surprised!!! The receptionist directed to a seat while I waited with magazines and almost immediately I was speaking with a stylist about what I was looking for… she asked «Butterfly» (yes that’s her name) to come assist. As I was having a bit of trouble deciding on color versus highlight etc. they were both very patient and helpful! The process was lightning fast as they worked as team. After my rinse, «Butterfly» gave me a cut and very bouncy style.
Great place will def go again!!!

Place is ok. For $ 23 you Walk in and you can get any hair dresser so hopefully you’re lucky. I went two times: the first was with this black woman who kept telling me to make an appt with her and I won’t be disappointed (they get much more money for appointments) and she cut way too much bangs off, nothing of what I wanted. They were also uneven, when I got home I cut it myself. The second time I got this plain blonde woman who was petite, I basically got a wash with a tiny trim. She basically did nothing to my hair and did not wow me. The people in here aren’t anything special, just a basic wash and cut if u could get that done properly.

love Hair Farfalla for a quick, cheap blow out at $ 25 mon-​thursday until 4pm. I always go to different people because I only usually go as a walk-​in, and I am always pleased.

There is something about this place that makes me uncomfortable. I have been here twice-​all for last minute, walk-​in wash and blow dry. The good thing is that I was taken right away, which could also be a sign the salon is not busy.
Anyway, all of the stylists have fake names that sound like they are straight out of a porno. One stylist criticized my highlights (done by a friend who is a well known hair colorist). I thought this was rude considering I didn’t ask his opinion and was there for a blow dry-​not color.
They have a special on the weekdays for wash and blow dry. I made the mistake of going on a Friday night and was charged full price. $ 45 for a wash and blow dry! You would think for that price my hair would look nice. The result was less than desirable. My hair looked flat and lifeless. I could have done a better job myself.
I just don’t know what it is about this place but after two tries with weird stylists and lackluster results, I won’t be back.

Wow… That is really the best way to describe this place. Came in here the other day based off a recommendation from a friend as I was getting tired of the same blah experience I have been getting at Supercuts. Let me tell you, I was not steered wrong.
The moment you walk in to this place you are greeted with a smile. It is a little weird that the reception area is in the middle of the salon but it definitely works. I was immediately taken over to the wash area and was given a relaxing head massage while my hair was being shampooed. After a long day at work it couldn’t have felt better. After I was picked up by Mary the stylist and taken to her area where she was straight business. She attacked my hair like she was creating the next Michelangelo masterpiece.
She would not stop until it was perfect. For this I thank here tremendously. It’s not often when you get more than your moneys worth at a hair salon bit for $ 20 you can not find a better deal. This was one of the better cuts I have had and they have made me a customer for life.

Hair Farfalla has some of the sweetest hair stylists in the city! «Ocean» (they are all given fun names) has done my hair the last 3 times I’ve needed highlights and every time they have come out great!!!
They have a $ 25 wash and blowdry special from M-​Thurs from 12 – 4 PM which I think everyone should take advantage of!
They are super accomodating, friendly, and understand what it is to have good hospitality. They are great with color and blowouts (my hair is naturally super curly and frizzy!)
I strongly suggest trying out Hair Farfalla!
