Laura Braunstein Hair Studio - New York, New York

Roos

I wanted to go from long hair to a bob and needed a really good hairdresser. A friend recommended me Laura. I choose her and I am beyond pleased with the result.
(The hair studio isn't particularly pretty, but it's the quality of the hair dresser that counts).

I scheduled an appointment online with Olivia to have a single process hair color (just the roots) and a hair blowout. I was expecting to pay $120 for both services as advertised online. However to my surprise I was charged $167.20. This sudden and significant price hike is Fraud. It appears to be a case of price gouging. The prices online are there to lure you to the Salon and then they charge you a different price whatever they feel like.

I have been getting my hair dyed purple here for three years now. The color purple holds a lot of meaning for me and I knew when I was old enough I would color my hair. Before I started the process, I was worried about hair damage, the color fading, and the possibility of it looking strange with the rest of my hair color.

However, once I came to Laura Braunstein Hair Studio, all my doubts went away. I love my purple hair; it has brought me so much joy. My hair looks and is healthy- I feel confident that the dye and technique Tracey used did not jeopardize the health of my hair at all. I can't walk through the city without someone complimenting my hair or asking where I got it done. Not only is my hair purple, but it also blends in nicely with my dark brown hair. The method and style Tracey used is unique to other purple-heads I've seen. It is vibrant without giving a harsh neon appearance. My visit to the salon this May showed how much they care about their clients. Tracey, my stylist, stayed late at the salon when our original appointment time didn't work.

It is also very easy to maintain. As long as I only wash my hair 1-2 times a week, the color sticks for about three months. Once I feel like the color needs restoration, I can simply buy the dye (which is not expensive) and retouch it myself. I'll definitely be coming here again!

Highly recommend master Olivia! Half a year ago, she created a true work of art on my head using the balayage technique. My hair turned into a stunning cascade of shades that still fills me with delight. I wholeheartedly thank Olivia for her talent and professionalism.

I paid $200 to hate the way I look.
I went there to remove the brassy tone in my hair, and the lady who did my hair said she needed to make the color darker to remove the brassiness. I don't know how she did the formula, but my hair became almost black, and it didn't look charming with my pale face. At first, I thought I was overreacting and needed to get used to the new color. But a few days later, I can't look at myself in the mirror and still hate this color. I was much happier with my brassy box color. Also, if any hairstylist is reading this, please be careful when pulling hair while dyeing; it hurts. Your clients are humans, not mannequins. Despite this, the place is nice and clean.

I have been being getting my hair coloring and hair cut by Olivia for over a year now, and she is the BEST!! She is super friendly and very attentive to my hair needs, and she also has a best energy! I have gotten highlights, balayage, root touch-ups and gloss by Olivia. I am always satisfied by her work and leave the salon a very happy customer.

I have gotten my haircut by Olivia twice now and could not be happier! I have curly, kinky hair that I've been straightening chemically for 15 years so it's often difficult to work with because it has different textures. Olivia knew exactly how to handle it, and gave me a great cut, while still allowing me to keep the length. I'm so impressed by how well she blew it dry and styled it - because of the texture it's hard to get the hair straight, but she managed to not only get it straight (without using a flat iron!), but also add volume and a nice wave. The salon is very clean and I felt extremely safe going - everyone had masks and they made sure any customers who entered washed their hands. Overall a super enjoyable experience and a great salon!

Just look at this haircut I got there. Lost a good 5 inches of the hair I was growing out for the past 2 years. Lost the rest of the length trying to fix it. I can't even and neither can they apparently
