Hair By Ester - Kew Gardens (NY)

5 /5 Andee Carroll: Ester is the best! I flew from Texas to see her as I couldn’t find anyone who specialized in curls and was so knowledgeable. From the moment I reached out, my experience was phenomenal. Scheduling was easy and she kept me so comfortable during the process! Lots of snacks, all meals ordered and Netflix to keep me entertained. Results: My hair is very rare, naturally fine, curly and dark blond blended with highlights. Lots of dimension. The match was perfect! I almost cried during the reveal. It didn’t feel any heavier than my natural hair. Very light, perfect amount of volume and so comfortable! I’m tender-headed and was shocked by how comfortable the install and wear was. The curls were so easy to maintain. If you are interested in more volume and/or length, there’s no one better!

5 /5 J C: Ester is a magician. I have fine hair and started out with a blunt grown out blonde bob, and she took that and transformed it into the hair of my dreams. She has blended out both my grown out color and bob seamlessly, and now after many installs, my hair is both longer AND thicker than before. I don’t know how she does it.

5 /5 Teá F: Ester will do it Everytime! The only person I trust with my hair. I went through a rough period of hair loss a couple years ago and am so thankful I found her. I’ve been able to grow my hair out in a healthy way and still feel confident. I fly from South Carolina to NYC just for her. I love her and her work so much I couldn’t be happier!

5 /5 Kayla Armfield: After straightening my hair for 20 years, I never thought I’d feel beautiful in my natural curls—until I met Ester. She truly changed my life. She was incredible to work with, listened to my vision, and made me feel confident in a way I never imagined. For the first time ever, I’m excited to wear my curls. Thank you, thank you!
