Best Hair Salons near me in Upper West Side, New York

I had a last-minute hair emergency, roots coming in, big event. I'm sure you know the deal! I was so grateful to find a place that had an opening, let alone that did such a great job on my color and blowout. Will definitely be back next time I'm in New York!

Here’s a refined version of your review: As soon as the elevator doors open onto the sixth floor, TOKA Salon feels like a breath of fresh air. The staff is not only professional but also incredibly warm and welcoming, instantly putting you at ease. I often find myself wishing I’d arrived early enough to enjoy their beautiful balcony—an oasis on warmer days. And with this unexpected November warmth, I really missed a chance to unwind there before my appointment. Having frequented New York City salons for nearly 30 years, I can confidently say TOKA Salon more than earns its place on Madison Ave

I have had about five haircuts done by Caesar is a wonderful stylist. Even after six weeks or so when it is time to have a new haircut, my hair still looks good because he is so skilled. The shop has a very pleasant atmosphere, everyone is very kind and caring, and they work on a big range of people of different ages I could not be happier with West Vibe and especially Caesar!

I randomly booked a hair cut and color at this salon and I was blown away! Anetta colored my hair beautifully, and Frank gave me one of my best haircuts and blow dry yet! Would definitely recommend.

Everyone at this salon is a professional. Everything Curly Hair is their specialty. I'm so grateful for the expertise. Please try the salon you will not regret it. My scalp and hair are benefiting from the shampoo, the hair massage, the conditioner and let me not forget the hairdresser. I will not allow anyone else touch my hair except for Robert, who has the magic touch. He's very talented and highly experienced with curly hair. I'm sure the other hair professionals are talented but Robert is my choice and I'm sticking with him. I've receive so many compliments for months after my haircut

Giuseppe was absolutely magic! I came in asking for highlights and a haircut he way my hair started as a bit yellow and completely fixed it. Not only was the color amazing but he made my flat hair have so much body and movement. I can’t thank Giuseppe and the team here enough!!!

Robert is fantastic—kind, knowledgeable, and a great listener. He gave me exactly the haircut and color I asked for, and even improved the color choice so it complemented my complexion beautifully. I left glowing! Everything was on schedule, and I was finished right on time. I’ll definitely be booking with him again.

What a great experience as usual. I went in for a cut and blowdry but after arriving I decided I'd like to get highlights as well. I'm so happy with how everything turned out. My highlights are very natural and so beautiful. The color she picked compliments my skin tone and natural hair perfectly. The haircut is gorgeous. Exactly what I asked for. I am so grateful for the time & effort she put into my hair. Thank you so much!

Jamal is professional, warm and truly cares about the health of your hair. Whenever I fly into New York, I ensure to visit his salon and the clean and welcoming environment is the cherry on top.

The best Russian manicure in New York! ❤️

Jamal, and his assistant Talia, are extremely kind, utterly professional, thorough and an absolute joy with whom to spend the afternoon. Jamal is a wizard with sensitive hair, and fixed my damaged hair so that it looks and feels healthy and amazing!! It was a great blessing to find them; I only wish they were in New Jersey :-) so I shall have to go up to New York many many times in the future!!

Thank you Samer!! Loved my new look. I was nervous in the beginning, you were professional and took your time to help me understand and gave me tips to manage my curly hair. I love my new haircut and deep conditioning treatment soften my hair. The blow out was a big transformation . My hair is soft shiny and smooth. Glad I found a hair salon close by, and will be coming back again. ❤️

Amazing haircut by Jack! Bon Bon will be my new go to hair salon for any hair services.

My experience is always great!! Everyone is very friendly and extremely accommodating. I think it’s the absolute best hair salon on the upper east side !!! My hair colorist is so talented, she can do hair color, style and cut. Shakira is always a on point with everything she does, definitely a true talent aside from her friendly upbeat personality!!

Fabio is an amazing stylist. His haircuts are the best and always look fantastic, even weeks later. Every person I have referred to him is very pleased. He does a great job with teen hair too!

Really lovely experience. A true oasis away from the hustle and bustle of NYC streets. Simple and hip atmosphere with exposed brick and a nice playlist of Dave Brubeck jazz overhead. My stylist took his time as during the whole process - from a nourishing and extended shampoo/scalp massage - to the haircut itself. I’ll definitely be back.
