David Groshen Salon

Jerrell is amazing! good experience!

Just had my hair cut and blowed out by jenise! I am soooo happy I came here, by far the best experience I’ve had since I have been in NYC! She even corrected my coloring that I had done the day before. I look and feel like a million dollars!

Great haircut w Jerrell. Conversation was fun… easy going salon… will def return

I went here for a haircut (a looong overdue one at that) today using a Living Social deal ($ 40!) and it was an extremely pleasant experience. I asked the stylist to keep it as long as possible while getting rid of as much of the dead hair as possible. And, shock of all shocks, a hair stylist actually *listened* to that request! There are so many stylists I’ve had in the past that sort of ignore whatever requests I make and just do their own thing and I can’t describe how much I hate that. It’s my head, damnit.
Anyway, she was fantastic. The price was amazing. And I’d definitely come back here.

I came here after purchasing a groupon for a cut and blowout and was a little hesitant after reading the reviews. However, I was very pleasantly surprised.
I have thin curly hair so any mistake made is very visible and usually means I need to cut it short to fix it since there aren’t many ways to cover it up. I told my stylist, Dana, that I wanted an ever so slight trim so that it wouldn’t look like I cut my hair at all (just wanted to clean up the ends). The salon was prompt and Dana did an amazing job! My blowout lasted me about 4 days too!
Would definitely recommend it here. It’s a little small though so I recommend trying to go during an off hour as I could see it being hard to move around on the weekends.

The wife waited for an hour for her consultation with David and left. Thanks for messing up my gesture.

You can call me David Groshen Salon’s newest lifelong customer! I just moved to a new area of the city and was looking for a reliable salon. I scoped Groupon for some deals, but I always compare the salons listed with their Unilocal listings so I know whether or not it’s worth it to spend the money. I’m SO glad I found this place, because my experience was nothing short of 5 stars. Katie did my highlights (you should ask for her, she’s the cutest) and I’m thrilled! Its a total pain maintaining blonde hair and getting my highlights to look right, and she did it perfectly. Will be back for sure :)

The only reason why I am leaving two stars is because of how friendly the salon receptionist was. I was taken care of the day I had bought my single process from groupon. The receptionist was afraid I would get lost since the salon was a bit hidden located on the second floor, she had rushed downstairs to wait for me to arrive. My experience with the stylist was disappointing. She had continuously tried to sell me anything she could from haircuts to highlights to even shampoos and conditioners. If I weren’t so determinate to not get anything at all besides what I had originally came for, I would’ve easily spend $ 400 since a haircut was supposedly ‘only 75 bucks’ according to Adrienne or Adrianna whatever her name is. Instead of having all my hair dyed to a color I had desired, she had only touched up on my roots (maybe that’s what a single process is but I highly doubt it). I was wondering if my stylist could give me some advice on how to style my hair to give it more volume since I do have semi flat Asian hair. She said «In order to have more volume you need to get a haircut, you know… The gravity of your hair is pulling it down that’s why it’s so flat.» I couldn’t believe she actually tried to make up her own version of Newtons laws of gravity. I would never come back to this salon again. This experience was beyond horrible. I didn’t appreciate how she tried to continuously sell things to me &whatever she made up about gravity because it just didn’t make any sense at all whatsoever. My hair is shoulder length &no, gravity has nothing to do with it.

I rarely write reviews but I had to compliment my new hairstylist Jenise on the wonderful job she did. My hair was overprocessed and damaged and while I came in for a wash, Jenise transformed my hair. She gave me a touch up relaxer and a sassy short haircut which I’ve been getting compliments about ever since. It’s easy to manage and has maintained a lot of body and shine. Jenise is not a hairdresser but a hair stylist! So happy I found her!

I bought a livingsocial deal for a single process, and Dana took care of me. She looked like she didn’t understand what i was saying, i told her to simple lighten my roots, not make them blonde. I asked her to pick a color that blends from my roots into my highlighted hair. She said ok, and 30 mins later i come out with an orange scalp. She offered to «darken» them and so i let her, and another 30 mins later after my scalp was burning, my hair color came out even more orange. Then she has the nerve to tell me that it’s supposed to look like that!!! Then some other girl who was doing her hair the whole time instead of attending to customers, finally put yet more chemicals in my hair and the color came out somewhat decent.
Everything about this salon is a failure. Even the girl who washed my hair left dye in it. Please save yourself a headache and a potential of coming out bald, and go to a different salon!

Bought a haircut package groupon — LOVED IT!
Very friendly and inviting salon.
Professional and honest advice on hairstyle /​hair care.
There wasn’t any pressure for buying tons of product, too.
Anyway, I have very long naturally curly hair.
One cut too far will equate to months of growing out time. (not to mention frizzies from hell)
It’s hard to be adventurous with those kind of reprocussions :-(
However, my stylist, Michelle, was fantastic. She talked to me about what kind of options to consider with my face shape and hair texture. We talked about color options, and she answered a ton of questions I had regarding maintenance, types of color processes, etc.
Again, no pressure sales. :-)
She also respected the fact I preferred to keep my hair length longer vs shorter.
At the end of my hair cut, she offered to blow dry it straight.
For curly girls, this can go either really bad or really good.
Most often than not for me, it usually doesn’t end up so well.
You guys from the 80s 90s remember treasure trolls? Yup. :-/​
Not this time, though!
Whereas I usually rush home to redo my style my own way,
I walked out of there feeling like had a designer makeover.
:-)
Pretty flowy locks with perfect clean style.
Nothing makes you feel more put together, than having your hair looking great.
I am so glad I found this place. It’s a huge win when you find a salon that works for you.
I am def going back to get my color done.
Highly recommend.

I came to David Groshen after getting some very fake-​looking LONG extensions that were not properly blended. I basically wanted David to make them look natural and less fake. I had very specific preferences for a look, which TBH did not seem to jive 100% with the aesthetics of the salon (I wanted something cool and mussy rather than «celeb”-ish) and was not sure I would get it there, but I DID to perfection.
First of all, I was scheduled to see one of the other stylists but she immediately redirected me to David, saying he could do a better job with fixing extensions. I was really grateful to be able to see the headline stylist on the spot, and I was thankful for her honesty in redirecting me to the best person. David was absolutely incredible. I kvetched a lot about what I wanted and he took my kvetching and gave me something absolutely beautiful that I am really proud of and happy in. A doorman even told me «You look awesome, by the way» on my walk home.
Thanks David Groshen Salon.

I bought a Living Social deal for a shampoo, cut, and blow, for $ 37 (reg. price $ 140), and I’m very pleased with the job they did. I scheduled my appointment for 12 PM & had a full face of makeup on because I had a graduation to go to right afterward. The woman who shampooed my hair took great consideration in that and was very careful not to wet/​wipe my face.
Dana did my cut & blow and, for once, I stylist LISTENED to me. I explained that I’m trying to grow out my medium-​length hair, so I wanted to maintain and much length as possible. I showed her a pic of a look I was aiming for & explained that I wanted the appearance of fullness and volume (I don’t have very thick hair, sadly). Dana was very careful, honest, and considerate of me the entire time. I have no complaints about her or her professionalism.

As an introvert, I usually hate going to a salon to get my hair done. Awkwardness, forced small talk, and trying unsuccessfully to communicate what I want with my hair: that’s what I usually associate with a haircut. Not so at David Groshen.
Not only did Jenise give me a super-​cool pixie cut, all the staff were friendly, funny, and created a comfortable atmosphere. I got the vibe that they all love what they do and one another’s company, which made the salon an awesome place to be.
Despite the fact that I had a Groupon, I never felt like a second-​class citizen (which has happened to me in the past with salon deals). Tenzin at checkout patiently put up with my failed searching for the Groupon on my phone and let me use the desktop computer to look it up. When styling, Jenise literally put every hair on my head in the perfect place. I also got makeup done for free and generally felt as if I were on a makeover TV show.
This salon made me look and feel great. What more can you ask?

I went there because I got a groupon deal. I was on time in arriving there, but had to wait 30 minutes. I told the man in charge of me about that, but he never apologized. I thought it might have to do with the fact that I am a groupon customer.
The salon was so hectic and I could not feel relaxed at all. What I was shocked is that there remained black hair color on my forehead and cheek. I thought usually cream or some kind of lotion would be applied around face before processing, which was not the case this time. A shampoo girl tried to remove that black color around my face very strongly but it seemed that her effort was not successful. I will upload the picture of it.
I have a question to the manager of this salon. Did I have this sad experience because I am not a native English speaker? I have a suggestion to the manager. Send your staffs to any Japanese hair salon to get them to receive customer service training.

Definitely recommend this place. Jerrell did a wonderful work for my highlight. Even though there was miscommunication at the first visit, he was really nice about fixing the color and he made the exact look that I was hoping for.

First salon I can fully give 5 stars to!
Had Denenne as my stylist, she did an amazing job. Used a Groupon for wash, Cut, and blow out. Showed Denenne a few photos of the cut, style and length I was looking for, and quickly after my wash, she got started.
I was overly satisfied with how the haircut came out, and the natural volume that came with it. The service was great, very friendly staff, very accommodating for appointments.
I also loved the products they used on my hair, which belonged to the David Groshen line itself. Overall, I would definitely come here again. I was in and out of the salon within 45 mins after leaving work around rush hour with a fantastic new do that was long overdue!

I went to see David for the first time last week. I was getting a consultation on hair extensions (strand by strand) and was exceptionally nervous because I have fine hair and have been told by every hair stylist I’ve ever had that I absolutely can’t have them.
First of all, David is wonderful and so is his staff. He assured me that I could definitely have extensions and showed me samples and put in a few pieces to show me how they would look/​how they would feel. Our consultation quickly turned into an appointment to have the extensions put in! He was informative and kind, and explained everything during the process.
I love my extensions and will definitely be going back to see David. He’s experienced, friendly and all around wonderful.
Thank you David and the rest of the staff!

I had THE BEST experience at David Groshens salon !!! I bought a groupon, and normally don’t expect too much because normally they tend to give you the lowest person on the totem pole, but let me tell you my stylist was AMAZING. I had Jarelle as my stylist and he was so friendly and made me feel so comfortable. I got a full head of highlights which the color came out perfect exactly what I asked for. My hair was kind of just too dull brown blondish and I wanted to lighten it up just slightly and he listened exactly !!! Then I showed him some pictures of a hair cut I wanted and he literally gave my the exact cut. He then proceeded to take the extra time to wand my hair because I mentioned I normally wear it wavy. My hair feels and looks amazing. I went out last night after getting my hair done and got SO MANY compliments I can’t even tell you how many!!! I think I found my new hair stylist will be back here without the groupon !!!

I have been seeing Michelle here for a little over a year. I come in regularly (every 6 weeks) and I can honestly tell you I would never see anyone else. I always look forward to my appointments, Michelle has completely transformed my hair color, and I love how she cuts my hair as well! It’s amazing how fast she gets everything done while still doing a great and thorough job.
My hair is naturally dark brown, but Michelle thought it would look nice if we lightened up the color. I trust her so I let her do whatever she thinks is best. Since I started seeing her my hair has been light brown with blonde highlights. The way she blends the colors is flawless, it doesn’t look like I have big obnoxious streaks in my hair like I’ve seen on other women lol and the thing that I’ve been most impressed with is how healthy and shiney my hair is, even though it’s been colored so much!
Thank you Michelle, I don’t know what I’d do without you. On a side note, whenever I spend time at David Groshen Salon I always have fun, and the conversations keep me entertained. Everyone who works there gets along, and they are all so nice and friendly. In the past I’ve felt a little awkward walking into certain hair salons because the staff seems snobby or not so nice. This is a warm environment where everyone treats you like a friend, I love it!
