Looking for african american hair salons in new york? African American hair, in New York, can be styled to perfection with the right salons and the right stylists. Sometimes a good stylist is hard to find.  This is especially true if you are new to a city and don’t know where to go.  You could go down to your local salon and see how it goes, but if you don’t know anything about the place you might end up spending a lot on a hairstyle that you don’t really like.  Instead of just picking out a salon blindly, wouldn’t it be better to have someone help you to pick out the good ones?  If the city you are trying to navigate is New York, then you will have a bigger challenge than most of the rest of us.  That is why we are here to help you find African American hair salons in New York.

 

Because there are so many people in New York, there are also a huge variety of salons specializing in African American hair.  They are found throughout the five boroughs however the most exclusive ones will, of course, be found on Manhattan.  Rather than cold call all the salons that are an easy train ride away, you should instead turn to the internet to help you figure out which salons are the best.

There are number of online services where customers can rate their salon experience.  One of the most popular is a feature called Time Out New York.  You’ll get an overview of many of the top salons in the city.  This service uses professional writers.  However, if you want a totally customer-based view you can turn to a service called Yelp.  There you will find ratings and reviews from over one hundred different African American hair salons in the city.  For the most part, these reviews will be able to steer you in the right direction.  If you have any friends in the area, getting their opinion is also a good way to figure out the best salons.

Here is a short list of the some of the salons in New York that we think you might want to check out.  Look at Wellington Hair Spa, Khamit Kinks, Crown Worthy, Locks ‘N Chops, and An’jels Salon Day Spa.  These are just a fraction of the African American hair salons in New York.  Shop around and find the best fit for your personal hair and style.

  • My name is Tasha and I am a new client of a fabulous hairstylist by the name of Antoinette in Parkslope Brooklyn. I found her by reading great reviews about her and her company Glam-R-Us Inc. on line . Antoinette gave me the flatest and most natural looking weave I’ve ever had. I’ve never recieved so many compliments on my weaves before. My boyfriend loves my new hair and he doesn’t want me to go to any other stylist. Antoinette is the truth. She works by appointment only so give her a call @ (718) 260-9655

  • I just relocated to New York and am looking for a hair stylist who can properly take care of natural hair. I haven’t had a relaxer in two years, and I usually get a wash and press. Lately, I’ve been forced to go to the dominicans but they put too much heat on my hair for my liking. Someone please help me find someone who can not only do natural hair but knows how to care for natural hair as well.

  • Hello,

    Im looking for a affordable salon that styles natural hair. Im reduced to braids and wash-n-go’s because I havent found anyone that works well with natural hair that isnt trying to bankrupt me or get scissor happy. I live in the Bronx but will travel to either the City or Westchester Co. Please help!!!

  • Im thinking about chopping my hair off and starting new. I havent put a perm in my hair since the beganning of june.I dont know where to go to get it cut. I refuse to go to the salon where I live. The lady cut my hair before and i hated it. I need a black hair salon. Im located in the bronx and I am willing to travel to bk, queens or whatever.

  • There is a great stylist in Harlem, who specializes in short hair. She works quickly and efficiently…hardly ever had to wait on her for an appointment, as she does not overbook clients. Once or twice, she’s done my hair in less than an hour. Call Rada (347) 224-0566.

  • Who in the world compiled the list of black hair salons in NYC? I’m here in NYC looking to have my very natural hair (imagine Michale Jackson on the Off the Wall album cover) texturized. I went online to review the locations listed here and was appalled. These places do not strike me as african hair places AT ALL. While they may have one or two stylist that can do a relaxer I would not trust my natural hair to any of these listed. Devachan — puhlease. I went there for a consultation some time ago — I told them i wanted to texturize my hair. The person told me that natural hair or texturized hair is not professional and I should really think about getting a relaxer. I left shortly after. How dare this person tell me that natural or texturized hair isn’t very professional. Please prove me wrong or check your list.

  • Sorry Shawn that happened to you. An intern wrote this article and I will be revising it. Thanks for sharing your experience.

  • I am looking to install my new kinky weave at a natural hair salon who actually specializes in natural hair. I am also a working college student do budget is a key factor. Anyone know of a good salon in Ny?

  • I need help with my hair. My hair has thin out. My hair is short. The Dermotologist said, “Do not pit perm in your hair. It has done this damage. My hair is so dry. It is hard to comb and it hurts to comb it. I want to go natural but hurts to comb it. It needs treating with the right products. I don’t know what to do. I know it needs cutting but I don’t want it cut shorter than what it is already. Can anyone help me?

  • Does anyone know of a good salon in the Bronx area? My last relaxer was in March 2011. I need a stylist who is seriously into healthy hair care and who will assist me in growing fuller, thicker, and longer hair.

  • Hi All,

    I discontinued going to my former stylist about 2 yrs ago due to her lack of professionalism and have been unable to locate someone who can properly…maintain healthy hair since. Currently, it’s breaking, shedding and I feel horrible about this. I have subjected myself to various “salons” and I can’t do it anymore. I live in the Bronx and I’m willing to travel to make it happen. Ladies and gentlemen….please help!!!!

  • HELP!!! LoL I really would like some. I stopped relaxing my hair June 2011. I’m doing pretty good with my hair. This is the healthiest it has ever been and growing quite well. It’s pretty thin. I still like it straightened but I do not use extreme heat at all. I know my hair could do much better if I got it cut but I’m so scared because I don’t know where to go and I am very sensitive about my hair. It’d be great if I can find a place that will just cut, wash and straighten without extreme heat. I live in the Bronx but am afraid to go into any of the salons I come across because they are either Spanish salons with little to no English or African braiding. I’m 28, only been to a salon 2x in my life and the last time being 10 years ago. Would truly appreciate any suggestions.
