Hare Studio NYC

"Effie gave me an amazing haircut. Went from long hair to bob after years and it was a big change. But, I am so happy with how my hair turned out, love it even more after washing. Effie listened to me and gave me exactly what I wanted. Also, their shampoo chair has to be the most comfortable one I have ever sat in. The hair wash itself was a great experience. Will definitely go back."

"I came in late in the day to get a blowout and curls today for my graduation tomorrow. I asked my stylist Emily for tight curls so that they would last me for tomorrow (they open at 11am and my graduation is before then so I had to come the day before). First the stylists don’t apply any heat protectant to my hair while blowdrying it so I definitely got some heat damage from that. I ask for heat protectant when the curling iron comes out but I don’t even think the stylist heard me and she applied some oil which I’m hoping was heat protectant but I'm not sure since she didn't acknowledge my request. She starts to curl my hair and I notice they’re pretty loose. I wanted to trust the process so I didn't say anything. I asked for tighter curls in the front which she did but they’re barely any tighter. When she finishes and is about to apply hairspray I ask if she can go back and curl some pieces in the front because they’re really loose, some even looked straight. She seems kinda annoyed by this but again I asked for tight curls from the start. She starts pulling out pieces to curl again and they're straight as if she didn't curl anything. She also applies a ton of hairspray in between curls. It's starting to look better but there are still lots of loose curls left but at that point I gave up. When she finishes she asks if that's better and I say yes I wanted tighter curls so that they can last me until tomorrow. She then says that my hair is going to be really sticky tomorrow and seems to act as if it's my fault. I say I don't mind I just want curls and not straight hair for my graduation. When I get back home I immediately notice some hair has gone straight already (picture with white shirt). Only 4 hours after my appointment, all my hair is basically just straight or has a loose wave (pics with pink shirt). I also didn't do anything that would ruin the curls like lay down or tie it, I didn't even touch my hair. I bet when I wake up, all my hair is going to be straight, which is what I didn't want at all and what mentioned to my stylist several times. I am completely disappointed with the service I received today, I wish I could get a refund because now my hair is not what I wanted for my special day and it lasted me barely an hour."

"I tried a new haircut today thanks to Emily’s creative vision and I totally love it! She really takes her time to understand what you’re looking for… and what you’re not looking for. Emily also did a fab job styling my hair. I definitely recommend her!!"

"This is my must go to hair salon! Effie has been cutting and coloring my hair for the past few years. She is very talented and professional. She always communicated with me and gave me great consultations about my hair style and how to maintain it. Sometimes I didn’t know what color I wanted and I would just leave it to Effie. Every time the result came out was just amazing without any doubt. I received a lot of compliments from friends and family. I cannot recommend this place enough."

"I recommend coming here wholeheartedly!!! It's always hard to find a place that will dye your hair the color you want, but Emily really did an amazing job! She really put a lot of care into the process and I found myself falling asleep quite a few times. Emily made sure that my roots were bleached evenly all throughout. She even goes to explain the health of your hair and offers advice so that your hair can stay as healthy while being dyed. I have long hair that's been pretty damaged due to bleaching and dying it a lot so her advice really helped me out. I've been to many different salons and have dyed, bleached, and cut my hair many different colors and styles and honestly, I felt very comfortable at Hare Studio and was more than in love with the final result. I wanted to get orange hair and the final shade was absolutely beautiful! Literally got compliments 5 minutes out of the salon from random strangers!!! I continued to get compliments throughout the whole month from men and women! The final price was honestly not too bad for manhattan prices and the results were more than satisfactory! I def have been recommending Hare Studio to all my friends whenever they mentioned getting their hair dyed or cut because it's worth it! I came back a second time and was not disappointed. This time, I wasn't sure what I wanted besides rebleaching my roots and having a somewhat light hair color. Emily made some suggestions and honestly it turned out quite beautifully! The end result is a rose color that I ended up really loving!"
