Bumble & Bumble

I’ve grown up with Bumble&bumble in my life. Haven’t trusted my hair with any other salon. Always the best of experiences! Sandra for cut and Celia for color

Bumble and Bumble is where the pros come when they want to up their game. How do I know this? Back when I was younger, I worked at the front counter at a high end salon when I lived in Washington DC. And every year, he'd take his best stylists and colorists up to NY so they could train at B&B. Needless to say, the staff there is some of the best in the business. Despite this, I myself had never went to B&B to get a haircut. I finally did. Joey was amazing, Definitely going back. Yes you'll spend more money than the typical salon--well at least for a guy. But I compare a good haircut to cheap plastic surgery. And it's a hell of a lot less invasive. lol Service: Haircut

Handsome but not what he wanted. We asked for a very specific haircut for my boyfriend and they did not do what we asked. It looks conventional, but again not what we asked for. Very disappointed.

I've never left a negative review for a business before because I’ve fortunately never experienced what I did today. I didn’t want to leave a review but I feel obligated to help others from being mislead about the capabilities of the stylists that work here. I found out about this salon online as it was listed as one of the ‘The 9 Best Curly Hair Salons in NYC.’ Having natural type 3C-4A hair, I attempted to do all necessary research into the salon and first called to ensure stylists could work with my hair type. I was reassured on the phone that the stylists were not only experienced but comfortable working with curly hair, but this was revealed to be a clear lie. When I arrived at the salon today my stylist, who apprehensively looked at my natural hair, proceeded to ask what styling tools past stylists have used on me. Although it wasn’t yet, it became abundantly clear the stylists that worked on my hair have never touched natural 3C hair before and made, what were to me, obvious error after error when attempting to style my hair. As my hair was being rinsed, one stylist began raking through my hair (from the roots to the ends), with a paddle brush, causing my hair to loose all curl pattern and become extremely poofy. After noticing what was happening I had to interrupt her and tell her that you can’t detangle natural hair with paddle brushes. It was at this moment that I should have left, but I believed the stylist that was going to heat style my hair would do a better job… My main stylist first attempted to blow dry my hair with a thin-bristled wire brush meant for fine hair. I had to correct her and explain that a wide-bristled brush would work better. I found myself continually correcting the stylist throughout my time in the chair. “If you detangle my hair with a wide tooth comb instead of a paddle brush my hair wouldn’t knot and would be a lot easier to work with,” I had to tell her. “Could you detangle from the bottom-up,” I had to ask. These were clearly amateurish mistakes being made by the stylist, making my sense of unease continue to increase throughout this point. Finally, the stylist continued to use the blow-dryer and flat iron repeatedly and slowly over the same sections, clearly confused as to why my hair was not straight enough. I completely understand that stylists have limitations, that beauty school more often neglects to teach hair stylists how to care for natural hair, and that styling curly hair can be extremely laborious. However, if a stylist at any point had just informed me that they were not familiar with styling natural hair, I would have understood and promptly left. I was charged $209 for what was an extremely stressful experience, and poofy, heat-damaged hair. The cherry on top was not being informed that a trim/cut would be an extra charge of $80+. My hair is the worst it’s ever looked after leaving the salon and I've never spent anywhere near $200. At this salon I was made to feel at fault for daring to have natural curly hair and for giving the inexperienced stylists a hard time. The last thing my stylist told me was to 'book a double-appointment' because my hair took her too long to do. I’m extremely disappointed and mad at myself for not having the courage to leave out of fear of making my stylist feel bad and for causing a scene, however, I am well aware that this is the clear action I should have taken. I’d really like my money back for being misinformed and hurt by this salon, however, I’m doubtful that I’ll receive it. Instead, I’ll warn other naturals about making the mistake I did. Please, do not come to this salon! (Image below was taken just after stylist finished my hair while I was still in the salon) Service: Hairstyling
