Astor Place Hairstylists

Ellie was the best, they were the first person in my 20 years of being a human to give me a haircut that I actually loved! They were very friendly and loved to chat too it was a nice change of pace from going to quiet barbers all my life. 1000/10 (I would put the infinity sign but I can’t seem to find it so a thousand can get my point forward) would come back again just to get a haircut from Ellie and chat. <3

Came in around 1 pm today, came in asking for blended layers / a soft pixie-style shape and showed a reference photo. The stylist cut my hair significantly shorter than requested, and the layers are uneven and not blended, leaving harsh, choppy sections that cannot be corrected without removing more length. I left extremely upset. This was not a difference of opinion — the technique was poor and the result is objectively unblended. I would not recommend this salon for short hair or layered cuts. If you care about precision or blending, go elsewhere.

Ellie is great. She’s super sweet, really accommodating, and treats your hair like it’s her own. She pays attention to the little details and always makes sure you leave happy. I’ve gotten my hair cut by her a couple of times now, and every visit has been a genuinely good experience. She’s skilled, thoughtful, and really cares about her clients.

I’ve been going to Astor Place Hair for many years, and get great hair styles and color, that I’m very happy with. Astor Place has maintained its eclectic character, with a variety of stylists and customers, which is salt of the earth, NYC. So much more interesting than chic salons. But remember, cash only. I recommend the stylist, Irma, she’s always upbeat, friendly and is very skilled. She consistently gives a great cut and blow dry that really lasts. She does beautiful color, and when I get my hair highlighted by her, she’s very meticulous, and I receive many compliments. Like with all hairstylists, you must communicate what you want clearly before starting, pictures are a good guide. One drawback are the uncomfortable chairs where you get your hair washed, and also it would be nice if

My stylist is Suzy.She is Greek. I've been getting her to cut, color and highlight my hair for a long time and the results have always exceeded my expectations. She can work with all hair types, so I would recommend her for Asians too. All of the stylists at this salon are highly experienced, and although most of the customers are older, the stylists' techniques are by no means outdated, so it is recommended for younger people as well.
