The Best 20 Hair Salons in Schenectady, Schenectady (part 2)

Eastwood Yeboah I came to the area needing my locs done and I came out looking better than when i left! Love is so sweet and treats every client like theyre her own kids. Truly a great experience and I would recommend anyone who needs their hair done in any style to come here.

Ruthie Montero I went to Touched by love for the first time and I had such an amazing experience. Let’s just say “ touched by love “ is and understatement. Mrs love and everyone were so welcoming, filled with so much love and positivity. I had my six month old baby with me and despite her crying and fussiness. I was not judged once or felt mommy shamed. yet Mrs love and everyone came to the rescue and treated her as if she was their own. You walk through those doors and you will not feel like an outcast. It’s like it’s own little family and once you step in you’re apart of that. I appreciate Love and the other woman for being so kind and sweet to my daughter and I. It sure does take a village to raise a kid and get your hair done. That was one heck of a village I highly recommend. The service went beyond just getting your hair done!

Ashanti lewis Amazing place make you feel at home as soon as you walk in, what a hidden Gem!! My 12 yr old daughter got her hair done by Nyree and is SUPER particular with her hair and hard to please well my daughter walked out of this salon with a hugeeee smile on her face and hair blowing in the wind.Cant wait to come back. Thank you ladies!!

Elizabeth Criscuolo I just came to this salon for the first time this past week and it was absolutely lovely! Everyone was so friendly (offering a beverage as I was having my hair washed) and the warm decoré was so inviting. Lisa was the stylist who cut my hair in order to help me donate to "Children with Hair Loss." She did a fantastic job giving me a beautiful, fresh, bouncy cut that brought my hair back to life and will help to bring joy to a child in need who will be gifted a wig. I provided a before photo for how long my hair was as well. Absolutely a 5 star experience! Ill be going back!

Lenka Mikulová I have been going to Jessie for many years and would not trust anyone else with my hair. She is knowledgeable, always does a great job with any hairstyle or cut I request, she makes my hair look beautiful. She is great with colors and does not use any cheap hair products so my hair remains healthy and beautiful. Would highly recommend!

Mikaela Estey I have been seeing Jessie for about 10 years for all my hair needs. She is absolutely wonderful and I don’t trust anyone else with my hair. She is everything you want in a hairstylist. She listens to what you want, she follows pictures and then she executes to better than you can describe or imagine. She is also lovely and kind to talk with as your getting your haircut. Highly recommended.

Kimberly Scheuer Ive been a client of Jessies at Gorgeous for many many years. Shes an amazing hair stylist and I get compliments on my color all the time. She really knows how to make color look natural, only better! I also love the atmosphere at the salon, everyone is so friendly.

Lindsay Halse I have been going to Jessie at Gorgeous for YEARS (!) We’re talking FIFTEEN years! She not only cuts my hair, but my entire family which includes my husband, teenage son, and daughter and will soon be giving my toddler her first haircut. Not only is she a wonderfully skilled stylist but she is as sweet as can be. She has become a friend over the years and I always enjoy catching up with her in the relaxing atmosphere of Gorgeous. If you need to break up with your stylist and find someone new, give Jessie a try…you won’t be disappointed! (Tell her Lindsay sent you! ;) )

Laurene Curtin Nobody cuts hair like Mary! What a talent. She is a master colorist and a pleasant person. The salon has a great vibe, everyone is always happy. Highly recommend.

Adrian Mallozzi 5 stars for this Queen! I’m rocking the most awesome, natural looking, quality (and affordable) hair extensions. Jessica is friendly, flexible and informative. Everything you need in a stylist. I loved her so much she did my 2 teenage girls hair and everything was perfect. Book her now!

Anna Giardenelli Jessica (the owner) does an amazing job. She is professional, timely and knowledgeable- 3 attributes that are necessary in her business. She has knowledge not only of a variety of hair types, but a variety of hair products that support different textures. I have been going to her for at least two years now and will never leave!!!!

Jacqueline Silvia Have had the pleasure of visiting Jessica for a haircut and lowlights, and I couldn’t be happier with the results! She took the time to really understand what I wanted and delivered beyond my expectations. My hair looks fantastic, and I feel so refreshed. The atmosphere at the salon is warm and inviting, making the entire experience truly enjoyable. Jessica’s skill and attention to detail are unmatched - she really knows her craft. Highly recommend her if you’re looking for a professional, friendly stylist.

Erika Bondatti If I could give Jessica 100 stars I would!! She is amazing and so sweet. I came in and basically said, help!! I need to fix my hair and feel good about myself again. I fully trusted her artistic judgement to transform my locks and she blew me away! Definitely recommend her services!

Carli Mahar-Rathburn Jessica did absolutely AMAZING. I have had a very hard time with my hair journey, Jessica listened to me, and LITERALLY copy and pasted my inspo pic onto my head. She was gentle with my hair, explained the process while she was doing it so I wasnt confused about what was going on. This is my first big hair transformation and I am so happy. Her studio is gorgeous and clean and welcoming, there is nothing bad I could possibly say.

Jennifer Moen I have been going to Sabrina regularly for years. She is the best! Not only is she a great hair stylist, but she is an awesome person too! Whether its a cut, root touch up or highlights, she does a great job, and is always consistent. She listens and offers honest and valuable opinions and suggestions. Love her salon, and now her boutique too. Would highly recommend!

Barbara Morlock I have been coming to Sabrina for over 5 years. She is the best. Always great conversation and you feel at home at the salon. We have actually gotten to know each other and I can honestly say we have become friends Thankyou for always working around my crazy work schedule. I am always so pleased when you color my hair and I love the styles you give me. Customer for life.❤️

Stacey Beagle Sabrina has been doing my hair for probably 8 or 9 years now. She is my go-to girl! Sabrina has an undeniable passion for what she does and for helping people look and feel their best! She has a creative vision that I trust whole heartedly which has allowed me to try many different colors and styles throughout the years. She offers an honest and professional opinion whenever I have a question about anything hair and beauty related. Her salon serves as a peaceful oasis that I enjoy visiting when I need some "me time". Sabrina always goes the extra mile and has come through for me several times when it comes to accommodating my busy schedule. I will always refer others to Sabrina for the highest quality salon experience. She is the BEST! :)

Leah Brewer I am in love with Alyse, hands down the best hair dresser I have been too in forever.

Wendy Ernst Love Kelly doing my hair. Always great color and cut.

Mireille Yost Kelly is my moms hairdresser and everytime my mom comes to her with a new hair idea she delivers! She is amazing and so friendly, everyone there is so talented!

audi anon Lovely interior. I called and then drive here only to be told the woman who answered the phone simply mustnt exists as the one I was talking with at that point proceeded to tell me she was the only owner...and that its only owned by one person, and that they did *not* do perms. I wasnt sure how accurate the information I was receiving was, however I did double check the number and address sadly all lined up, I hope your experiences here are better than mine!!

neha kapil Kathy is awesome. She was very polite and patient with my 20 months old baby. She did my trim, color and highlights. Even accommodate highlights tone where I was uneasy with light blonde, she made it little darker which I really love. Place is very clean. Highly recommend it.

Sabrina Crystal is wonderful. She does my hair. But she also cuts my autistic sons hair. He loves going to her.

Robmattjoe Cate My sister and I went together, my sister had an appointment she called and Crystal H. was more then happy to fit me in, it was my first time, and I loved my new hairdo, my sister swears by her for color and cuts, she was also very friendly, she took the time to make sure of exactly what I wanted, before she took out her scissors

Stacy Mauceri Kristen did my hair and I love it. She is warm and friendly, I recommend her, I’ll be back!

Victor L. Fazio III My Aunt Angela is a legend in the area for Cutting and Styling Hair. With over 45+ years in the industry and owning a very Reputable Salon that is a land mark in this town.

Patrick Sarnataro Angie is the best! I travel from Albany to Rotterdam to get my hair cut by her. Im sure the rest of the girls are great also. Angie wouldnt have it any other way.

Kathy Penfold I just had a Bliss Facial with MaryAnn and it was wonderful!! She is so kind and cheerful! The products she used were very nice, and although I occasionally I have issues with scents, nothing bothered me. She told me every step of the way what she was doing, what products she used and how they were beneficial to my skin type. I feel so spoiled!

Meg Joos The estheticians/beauticians at Beauty and Bliss Spa really know how to make you feel pampered! The business is lovely, the prices are reasonable and the services are remarkable! There is plenty of parking and the hours fit well! I especially love the facials that Maryann and Kelly give!

Allicia Grimes Good music, good vibe, great braids

Katherine Wiswell Nicolle is a true artist, especially when it comes to color. She is fantastic. Her kind and understanding personality is also one of a kind! I was so nervous to have my colored for the first time, and she took her time talking me through options. Over the past 5 years, I’ve gone to no one else. Book Poppy now!

Kayla Ferraro Great experience. Just had my hair cut and colored for the first time at the location. Everything came out great, I love my color and cut. Britney was very kind and professional. Plus, she was working with a terrible box dye I attempted on myself. In addition to all this, the decor was even beautiful. My overall impression was amazing and I will be returning for my next appointment!

Allison Riggi I’ve been going to Nicolle for 8 years and she is absolutely amazing. I highly recommend her and her salon is beautiful!

Natalie R Nicolle is hands down the best hair stylist! I’ve been going to her on and off for many, many years. I have moved around within the capitol region and have tried going to other hair stylists that were closer to me, but nothing ever compared to the work that Nicolle does. She is the only one that I have completely trusted with my hair over the years. She has incredible attention to detail, is a genuine human being, and takes the time to ensure that each client is taken care of and has an excellent individual experience. I was so excited to see she had opened her own business!! It’s difficult to find a hair stylist that will give you the results that you’re looking for, and she far exceeds expectations. I can’t recommend her services enough ☺️ thank you, Nicolle!

Elyse Kerschner Nicolle is the unicorn of hair stylists! She always makes my red hair look natural with dimension. I live in NYC and will only let her touch my hair. The salon is bright and sunny with upscale decor. Both Nicolle and her partner Britney are highly skilled in the most up to date and fashionable cuts and colors. My scalp is sensitive to many hair treatments and they only use high end products that have never bothered me. I can’t recommend Poppy Beauty enough!!

Beverly Henderson I get my hair done by Rachel. She is the best! I am never ever disappointed when I leave the salon! She greets everyone with a big hello and smile and knows everyone by name. I would recommend her and her salon to anyone. My friend nows goes to Rachel and is so happy with her too!

Samantha Sutfin Made an appointment with this salon a week in advance and when I came in the stylist never showed up. Waited 20 minutes no show. Other staff offered no help other than giving me her card to text her myself. Lousy business model. Will never go back.

Sandy Vanvranken Always a great visit.Awesome hair experience . Love the girls and of course Greg.His smile brightens your day.Raechel is always so pleasant and makes the atmosphere welcoming.

Shanna Henry Been coming here for 25+ years. They are so friendly & make you feel at home. Always am very happy with the service here & highly recommend!

jessica kennedy It was the first time both my granddaughters went here , absolutely loved the way their hair was done, they were both so pleased with the cut, a very pleasant, clean,place to go. definitely would recommend Bitter Sweet Boutique.

Rissa Cromwell Moved with Salon owner from Brooklyn to Schenectady New York and I would follow her magic hands anywhere. She does what’s best for your hair individual and doesn’t follow society lack of standards and regular beauty styles. She’s a true cosmetologist and has magic hands that make your hair grow from the time she touches it. While I do go to other stylist, as a master stylist and teacher she trains everyone that works in her salon and the great customer service continues even when she isn’t around. 5 stars.

Deborah Scott Great team extremely friendly and my boys got exactly what they wanted

Ashley Brown Ms. D is very nice and professional. She is very experienced and when you ask hair care questions she knows the answer. She offers many hair treatments at a reasonable price. I loved feeling comfortable and not rushed. Really good shop, I would recommend her without a doubt.

Mariah MCMULLEN They did a good job on my braids

jean vincent I have been going to Amae since 1999. She is very talented in her field and takes great care to listen to your ideas and wants. I have used her for all my haircuts and coloring and am very happy with the work she does.She is also does massages, skin care and nutrition.

Antonette Julius What an amazing Experience. Amae is amazing and so patient with my Autistic 6 year old daughter.. she explained everything she was doing and told me how to maintain it until we come back thank you so much

Brian McQueen Amae has been my stylist and great friend for over 15 years. She has obviously mastered the art of fabulous hair, while offering rich background in holistic wellness including Reiki, healing touch, intuitive, and energetic readings. Most importantly, she is just simply an awesome friend! Thanks for always being there Amae! ✌️✌️

Alexis Bleau I have been going here since I was very young!! And I have not gonr anywhere else since. I absolutely love the time she takes to make it a master piece as well as, her being very personable. My hair also turns out amazing everytime stress free!

Cheyanne Outar Amae was great!! Not only Was she super nice, She Listened to what I wanted, took her time, double & triple checked, explained Everything that she was doing throughout the Balyage process.

CRYSTAL DEMATTEO Simply the best!! Dan does an amazing job every time. He is friendly and really listens to what you want while also making great suggestions. The entire salon is clean and comfortable. The other staff are wonderful as well. Dan also cuts my kid’s hair and he gives them the star treatment making them feel beautiful and confident.

Cori Schinnerer I’ve been going to Dan at Symetry for years and he does such a fantastic job with the cut and color on my hair! I feel fantastic every time I leave. The rest of the staff are so friendly and prices are extremely fair, too!

penny donnelly Jordan Woods gave me the best hair cut & high lights ever. A perfect transition from unhealthy hair to a beautiful healthy head of hair!!! I recommend Jordan Woods to any & everybody that is looking for a Great haircut, color, highlights.... Atmosphere is above & beyond comfortable & gorgeous salon. They offer robes & beverages. Best of all though is Jordan Woods! I LOVE ALL of her work!!! Shes Top Professional & very experienced & Very Great at what she does!!!! Thank you Jordan Woods!!! I will be back & back again!!!

Brian Dumesnil One of the best around! Dan has been cutting my hair for 10 years. The staff at Symetry are a great team. The salon is clean and inviting and has an array of great products to purchase.

Judith Hawkins Heather is the owner of the Salon and she is my stylist. For years I have been asked who does my hair and that’s because she takes great care of my hair and the health of my hair. She is great at what she does and always makes you feel valued when you are in her chair. She’s exceptional and I don’t think that is a hair challenge that would ever be too complex for her to take on! If she isn’t available one of the other professionals in her place would be able to assist as well. Heather takes great care in hand selecting the crew under the Salon X roof. She truly is one of the best!

Jessica Holmes Jeanette is the best! Nails it every time. This is the first and only time I found someone who can give me exactly what I want every time. No one else can touch my hair but her!!! Absolutely recommend. 10/10

Mandie Kozlowski Danielle H did an amazing job creating the color I wanted in my hair. It wasn’t a super easy process but she rocked it and I love it!!

erika barkman Madalena did a great job giving me a trendy haircut and highlights. Easy to talk to and the salon itself is big and modern. Very clean. Im making an appointment to go back.

AMA 19 Asked for blonde bob walked out 3+ hours later with damaged brown Rachel hair from 1992 for $250.00- sides cut 4" uneven No refund despite complaint. Luckily able to get it partially fixed at a strip mall salon for $45- So much for hair stylist who teach hairs school from the 80s- now its a 12 month grow out. Thanks for a hassle- X

Claude R The best salon experience ever. I was feeling anxious, excited, and nervous because I was doing the big chop. Lavida is the best at what she does. She was amazing, professional, knowledgeable, I can go on and on, but by the time she was done, I had tears in my eyes because I was so happy with what she had done with my hair. I also left confident because she let me know exactly what I needed to take care of my hair moving forward. Lavida made the experience of doing the big chop so painless and I left Coiled feeling amazing. I will definitely be back for a shaping in a few months. New home for my hair is Coiled. You should make it yours too. Lavida is AMAZING!!!!!

McKalie Koonce Went a few years ago & forgot to leave a review. Charged me over $300 for a “curly cut” and basically gave me a trim & then finger curled my hair. Extremely expensive and honestly not worth it.

Amanda Rider Lavida is everything youd ever want from a curly hair specialist and more! She is knowledgeable, patient and a true artist. I was nervous about the cut but she worked her magic and i love it! Thank you for making me feel like I can figure this curly hair world out! I cannot recommend Coiled Salon enough!

Nicole Conklin Such a pleasant experience. Lavida was easygoing, friendly, and knowledgeable. She made me feel right at home. She was very thorough and my hair came out amazing. I’d prefer a slightly softer hold to the gel than what she used, however, she instructed me how to achieve that while still using the same product. I can’t wait to try it myself! I will definitely be returning.

Alyssa Marie Lavida is truly, undoubtedly talented!! Definitely go to her if you want a fresh start with your curls. Everything about your visit from start to finish is customized to address your specific hair type, challenges and goals. It’s ridiculously difficult to find curly/natural hair specialists in upstate NY but I’m so glad I finally found my holy grail salon!

Amanda Bigg As a first time client, my experience was not good. I set up an appointment with lady and Her coworker ended up doing my hair. He really didnt seem to confident in doing a 1 row braid less sew-in. After a week The hair and the beads ended up coming out. I contacted her through Instagram, which her communication skills are absolutely terrible. She takes hours to days to respond. She told me she would personally fix my hair at no charge. Once again we went back-and-forth through Instagram to figure out a day for me to come in which took days and days and days for her to respond she told me she would work around my schedule and to give her my Availability and when I told her a day and time she told me she couldn’t do that day because she was moving. I just gave up and took a loss of $180. I would not recommend this salon and I will not be going back.

Bria Barnes-Coleman This hair salon is a gem in the community for so many reasons. First and foremost, the stylists are beyond talented when it comes to styling hair, building confidence, and maintaining healthy hair. Secondly, this is a safe space for everyone to have their hair cut, colored, and more. Every time I enter the salon, it’s a peaceful and relaxing experience because I know I’m in good hands. When it comes to the staff, Rasheeda, the owner, is patient, understanding, and so very kind. She answers every question you could ever have about a new style you’re considering, and she is a champion for healthy hair habits. Darryl is a joy to be around as well and he is a PRO when it comes to blowouts! Book your appointment today, if you’re looking for a fabulous salon that will make you feel like a queen every time. ❤️

Sammy Rivera I love Rasheeda she always takes care of me and knows exactly how I like my hair my installs always last At least two -three months everytime too.

Nia Williams I came in 10/13 to get a silk press and let me tell you, my hair has so much heat damage. It is so disappointing because I have came here times to time and never had a problem. As a black girl, my hair is my crown so when it gets damaged it’s so frustrating. The service I got was so unprofessional and I left with burn marks on my forehead and scalp. I think this is a great salon but it needs a little more professionalism in natural hair and silk presses!!
