Hollywood Salon

"Hollywood Salon is a popular hair salon in the neighborhood on Second Avenue frequented by locals and by young children. I was searching for a good salon at rock bottom prices. If I had oodles of money or a sugar daddy I could go to Madison Avenue. A friend had suggested a lady in Chinatown who spoke no English and charged nine dollars. I was intrigued but wondered how my hair would look when I left? Kojak? Would I need an interpreter? I looked on Yelp and started calling places. Hollywood Salon charged $40 and is a cash only establishment. The staff is from Eastern Europe. A young lady, Alla. washed my hair nicely and then Irene, an older lady cut my hair. She understood what a blunt cut was and got to work. Snip snip. Lo and behold, my new haircut gave my hair bounce. I was happy. I will return."

"My hair color and cut was phenomenal. I had grown out roots and washed out color. I got a stylish cut and and glorious color. The salon’s owner Irena and staff were very friendly and welcoming. I was impressed at how gracious they were to clients and walk ins. Great experience. Totally recommend"

"It was my first time at the Hollywood salon. They are absolutely great! All of them were so friendly. I got my haircut exactly how I wanted. With excellent prices! 100% recommended! Will be a regular here!"

"I've been to too many crazy expensive salons in NYC only to NEVER get the simple haircut I was requesting. I go here one time and boom... Perfect haircut and it was so much less expensive... This will be my salon from now on."

"I don't usually write many reviews but I have had such a good experience with Hollywood salon and they don't have many recent reviews that I wanted to spread the word. I have been coming here for 4 years to get a haircut and blowout and have always been very happy with the results. What is amazing is the price-which is pretty hard to get in Manhattan! I usually make an appointment but have been able to do walk-ins as well. Recently, during a haircut I mentioned getting my hair colored, and Nadia was so helpful and telling me what would look good that I made an appointment for the next week for a balayage. I will admit that I was a bit anxious as I had never gotten my hair colored before and I didn't see many pictures or reviews here. I also have fine black Asian hair! However, Nadia was amazing- I showed her a picture of how I wanted my hair to look and she was very confident she could do it. I am very happy with the end result! My example picture had more subtle dark brown highlights, but my hair ended up with a slightly lighter brown which I actually like better as there is more contrast with my black hair. In the pictures it looks a bit blonde but that is only due to the lighting. They gave me a blowout and I love the curls! All in all it took about 2.5 hours and cost $175 which is a GREAT price for nyc. I would definitely come back! Thanks!"
