Excel Hair Salon (upper East 86st) NYC 335 East 86th Street, Manhattan, New York,

"This is the new Excel hair salon on 89th and Lexington ave. It was serendipitous that I stumbled upon this. I heard church bells, thought to see it and instead I walked straight into the salon right next to it lol! I was very sweetly greeted by the receptionist and Daisy who was my stylist and an angel sent on Easter. There was a special deal going on that haircuts were for 40$!!! Can u believe that! I couldn’t. Then I inquired about retouching my balayage and she gave a reasonable estimate on. I loved that I knew how much the total would be first so there are no shocks in the end! She understood my need sooo well, this is the first time in 8 years in NYC that I’m 100% satisfied! She gave me a great haircut, great retouch, couldn’t have asked for more! Got water in between and was well taken care of! Definitely recommend this salon even for first timers like I was! Happy Easter! I didn’t get the proper blow dry done hence it’s not all set etc, but that’s how I like it. The color and haircut are great!"

"The front desk was unprofessional. Tried to overprice the amount of a wash and haircut, when I told her the correct amount she proceeded with a made up excuse for the 'correct' price. PLUS I received the worst hair wash service ever, the lady was really nasty and rude. Johnny saved the day, because his haircut was amazing!"

"I had an amazing experience in the two times I've visited the store and use their services. Staff are friendly and courteous, and they are absolutely good with styling hair. I went both times for washing, blow-drying, and a haircut. In my first visit, I was able to confidently have my hair cut down 8-inches, and I have to say, the lady who worked on my hair did an amazing job styling. She is a miracle worker! In my second visit, the lady who washed and blow-dried my hair was very nice and kind, especially maintaining my hair on a hot-day, when my curly hair usually becomes frizzy. I would recommend this place, the price is worth it!"

"Stylist Nancy G did an AMAZING job with my hair. She really took into account my wishes, while also making sure it looked great and had shape to it. She also gave me great suggestions for how to keep it looking nice. Highly highly recommend."
