Studio 34 Hair Salon

"I’ve been going back and forth on leaving this review, but each day I’m more frustrated. I went in week before last for a cut, I told him I wanted to keep as much length as I could but that I knew I needed to cut alot to get rid of my split ends and old color in there. Idk the name of the guy I had this time but it all went terribly from when he started brushing my hair after the wash, he ripped through my hair sooo harshly I was in shock, the wash guy hadn’t put conditioner it seems and this guy didn’t bother putting a detangler or anything and you could visibly see my disbelief as he continued to brush very roughly (I promise I’m not exaggerating). I had told him I wanted to redo long layers I had - to also help with the split ends/unevenness- and then long bangs and framing down the front. The cut went by very quickly, I was surprised, and then when he went to blow dry he did not put any heat protection or oil on before blow drying again very roughly. When he was done I could tell there was still way more dry ends left than I had wanted but couldn’t tell fully since it was blow dried. After getting home and now washing and air drying My hair is WAY more split and damaged than before I went in, which I didn’t even know was possible. I’m so frustrated and sad, I feel my hairs ruined and will definitely need another cut to fix it, after already paying $85 at this place for a wash and cut. Wouldn’t recommend coming back unfortunately —- Review & pics from March: Zak was awesome. I Came in for a late last minute appointment and he was still willing and able to help. Was super overdue for a cut so he helped get rid of all the dead ends I wanted and do the hairstyle I wanted. Highly recommend :)"

"Impeccable facilities and friendly staff. The young man who washed my hair gives an amazing scalp massage. Zak is an excellent stylist, he’s very meticulous in his work which I appreciate! Nothing about my visit felt rushed, as should be the case in a quality salon. The prices are also very reasonable for New York."

"I went in for a single process color and the staff and quality of work was good, but my hair is black now. I naturally have medium-brown hair and asked to go a little darker, but now have completely black hair. I have never ended up with black hair anywhere else, but I guess that is the price I pay for trying to save money. I didn’t have time to complain and have them fix it so I will be stripping my hair using clarifying shampoo. *edit* removing all stars because they are lying. I have attached a picture of my natural hair color and the color is left in my hair after trying everything to remove it. You can’t tell me that color is “dark like my natural roots.” It is black. And now I’m stuck with black hair for next few years because I don’t want to bleach my hair. My hair already felt damaged when I left the salon (it was healthy before I went in) and I was looking forward to growing it out. It also isn’t possible for the last salon to have gone too light since I’ve never bleached my hair … I’ve never had issues with my hair feeling damaged after dye anywhere else. Guess I’m stuck looking like Morticia Adams for the foreseeable future. Don’t go here. Spend more money and get good quality work done somewhere else."

"Murad did an amazing job with my cut and color! He really cares about his work and spends a lot of time to make sure you love your hair. The salon itself is clean and relaxing and prices were so reasonable for New York. I’ll definitely be going back to Studio 34 again!"

"I had a wonderful experience getting my hair done with Zak! I wanted long layers but was worried I would lose too much length. He was very reassuring, showed me how much he would cut and kept it long just like I asked. Zak definitely respects long hair! He also did a subtle chocolate balayage which looks great and keeps my hair dark but adds a nice dimension. He is amazing at what he does and I will definitely be back. Thank you Zak!"
