Dop Dop Salon

This is my first review on Unilocal and I’m compelled to write it because I had the best experience with Viegas at this salon. I’ve traveled all over and finding a good hairdresser who can work with your hair well the first time meeting you is rare. Viegas was brilliant — gave me great advice, listened carefully to what I was asking for and gave me the best cut and color I’ve had. My previous hair dresser had created disaster and she was able to return it to a healthy state and make it fabulous. I plan to visit her every time I come through New York because I trust her 100% with my hair. Simply a 5 star experience.

I came to Dop Dop to get a totally new cut after growing my hair for 18 months for my wedding. Two weeks after my wedding I decided to do a 180 and go short. Really short. Amber was my stylist and listened to everything I had to say — I also wanted to give her freedom so my requests were just that my hair be short but the sides long enough to tuck behind my ears, and piecey. She scrolled through photos to get an idea of what I did and didn’t like and then went to town. I left with a chunky, semi-​long pixie and LOVE it! The rest of the staff was also super friendly. The atmosphere of the salon is very inviting, clean, yet hip. The stylists can do some very fun, unconventional and punk things with your hair. It’s not cheap, but it’s worth it. My cut was around $ 90 after tax but the prices vary per stylist. Check their website for a stylist who matches your needs and personality. They’re also very transparent about pricing, which I found to be really helpful in choosing this salon. I’m going to be returning here for all of my hair styling needs in the future, specifically to Amber who was so friendly and creative.

I dont know what to really say because this is base on a salon apprentice appointment am pretty sure the salon is nothing but the best base on the service i received as i walked in, i just wish the student was a little bit more clear as to what she was going to be doing to my hair and that she was timed also. I left with my hair pin back up after it been washed then hand twisted to try and curl then under the dryer where it got soo puffy i was embarrassed to come out the dyer. :/

My go to hair salon. I’ve tried dozens of salons in the neighborhood and none compare. Theresa is the BEST for color and cut. I also go to Andrea and Amber for awesome blowouts. Service is amazing and you never have to wait. If you’re looking for a new salon in soho you have to try dop dop. And you can thank me afterwards!!!

I booked a super last minute appointment — I booked a 1 PM slot at like 12:30 through BeautyBooked. I went for a blowout. I was shampooed by Tori, who was so sweet and made sure that I was comfortable. Nancy did my blowout. I didn’t go in with a specific «look» that I wanted, just something not too big. I left the rest up to her, and I was so pleased. I had a good amount of volume and bounce and my hair looked great. Also, the salon itself had a cool vibe. The entire appointment took 45 minutes exactly, as it’s listed, so I made it in time for my class afterward. I got a lot of compliments on my hair the rest of the day.

This was my first time at Dop Dop and I have to say out of all the places I’ve been to have my haircut or colored this is the best. From the moment I stepped inside they were welcoming, friendly and open. The customer service level was amazing!!! No exaggeration. I have spent a lot more and I have spent a lot less and I have never gotten the quality of service that I got here. Theresa was my colorist and was incredible. I had a consult first and she educated me on my hair in a way that nobody else had. She noticed the problem with my highlights was not just the tone but they did not match my hair texture. I had never had it explained to me in quite that manner.
I literally felt like I was the most important person in the salon and she customized my color in a way that nobody had before. She is a true master and I trusted her completely. The result|: My husband who usually hates when I do my hair because he always tells me my highlights look streaky loved it. I went two days ago it’s day three and as I brushed my hair today my husband kept telling me how beautiful my hair looks. Needless to say as long as Theresa is willing to do my hair she and her apprentices will be the only ones to work with it. And as far as Dop Dop is concerned all salons should use this place as a model on how to run a business.

George is a friend and mentor, so it finally dawned on me that I could entrust him with my hair! He did the most amazing color job I have ever had! It looks so natural that you will think it is, and that is exactly what I want as I learn to accept my unique beauty. I love that he gets this and saw it even before I did. Moreover, he had no problem talking to me candidly and gently about it. He is an absolute gift in my life.
As far as the salon, it couldn’t be a lovelier environment. Aside from the beautiful interior and friendly staff, you’ll notice a distinctly different vibe here. Unlike other upscale salons, there’s a sense of team and community that is so welcoming. This is the kind of place you’d want to hang out in, even if you weren’t getting your hair done! Thank you, Jo, for creating such a wonderful place in a competitive environment that doesn’t always feel wonderful.

Went to Erica for bayalage highlights. Cannot tell you enough how phenomenal of a job this woman does! Between the perfect color as well as precise placement of the hand painted highlights I am a firm believer that even though this is more costly than I normally spend, it is money WELL SPENT!!! Absolutely earned a new client here!

Dale is a magician with scissors! He knows how to make you look your best with any hair style. If you walk in unsure, you walk out feeling confident enough to take over the world! DOP DOP is easily one if the top salons in NYC!

I was in sore need of a haircut after not having had one for at least a year, and was recommended by a friend of mine to Melanie. Melanie was very sweet and listened to my ideas whilst giving suggestions about what would look best. She also explained what she was going to do before she started cutting my hair and at various stages, which put me completely at ease. She blow-​dried my hair for a surprisingly long time but the end result was worth it — my hair looked amazing and felt incredible too, and all my friends loved how it looked. I was worried about it looking worse after I slept or washed it out, but the hairstyle still looks amazing. I also emailed Melanie after my haircut asking about the products she used, and she sent me a very detailed email instructing me exactly how to recreate the style she had done in the salon which was amazing.
The only complaint I might have would be about the price (over $ 100), but to be honest I rarely get my hair cut and I thought it was worth it in the end.

Dop Dop Salon is not only the best hair salon in SOHO but in NYC if not the world-​. The services can not be beat– Ive watched people walk into the salon looking one way and walking out looking like they’re transformed in great style. I myself have had the misfortune of other salons screwing my hair up and then alas, DOP DOP to the rescue to color correct and cut correct my hair. The greatest thing about t he salon seems that they have an array of stylists who really have the expertise and vision to bring out the best in their clients — I have observed that people of all walks of life go there– corporate people, down towners, edgy folks and even the constant flow of celebs makes for a good time.

I’ve been in New York for about a year now and haven’t felt I’ve got good value on a great cut/​style until finding this place. I can’t vouch for the whole staff, as I’ve used Andrea both times I’ve been, but she’s fantastic. I wanted something that would liven up what had become the same boring haircut I get every time, but would also work well with my business life. We brainstormed and came up with the perfect style, and she executed very well.
The salon itself is very trendy but I didn’t get any coldness or pushy attitude like two of the other salons I tried. Everyone seemed pretty chill and polite.

Dop Dop is absolutely undoubtedly THE place to go in SoHo for all your hair needs. But first, let me tell you my sad story.
I’ve lived in NYC going on 6 years now and I have never been able to find a colorist I liked. Not one. I bounced around between salons all over the city at all different price points searching for someone who understood how I liked my hair to be colored, and who could deliver that. Needless to say no one delivered.
One fine day with my terrible roots growing in, I decided to ask around my office to see where my coworkers went. I found out many went to Dop Dop because they are a L’Oreal salon. *lightbulb goes off*
Anyways, I now go to Russ and I’ve never been happier! I’ve been getting foil highlights for years; Russ introduced me to balayage and boy do I feel like I’ve been missing out! My hair has never looked better. healthier, natural, and dimensional. The products they use at the salon is top of the line, from shampoos to treatments (only L’Oreal products!) The décor is urban and artistic, the space is HUGE, and the complimentary cucumber water and candy bowl doesn’t hurt either :)

I’m a newcomer to Dop Dop. I’ve been there twice, per a recommendation of a friend who happens to be Matthew McCounehey and his wife’s hair stylist. This place is great and professional. I won’t tell you my stylist’s name (she’s booked as it is!), but I will tell you this place is quality! In a great location in SoHo, the atmosphere is great. They also carry my favorite hair care line Kerestase which is a bonus. I would say only 4 stars instead of 5 b/​c of the price. Yes, most hair salons in Manhattan are expensive and I should get used to it, but who doesn’t prefer something a little more «single girl» friendly? Love it… highly recommend!

I’ve had amazing experience here with an amazing talented apprentice named Vegas. She was very sweet and personable, and her blowdry skill is da bomb! She transformed my boring long hair to volumious wavy sexy hair! I love how Dop Dop Salon uses only the best hair products, such as Shu Uemra, Kerastase, Redken, etc. Aside from receiving a great style, my hair always feels healthier after visiting Dop Dop. Vegas is now looking for hair volunteers for shoulder-​length or shorter. If you want to receive an amazing style (free of charge and tip), message me and I’ll hook you up with her!

Came in for an apprentice class blow dry. Teacher did not advise apprentice much about direction of various hair sections so I ended up with several pieces toward front of my head heavily curled in toward my cheeks and also out, like an imperfect 1950s style. The sides didn’t look evenly curled. I have had more attractive looking blow dries elsewhere, especially Butterfly Salon and Ion Studio.
Salon seemed to have a bit of a punky aesthetic: receptionist had hot pink eyebrows, stylist teacher and several employees have half or full tattoo sleeves. Teacher had a handlebar mustache.

When it comes to hair, I stay faithful to those who do a mean color job. On that note, I have stayed on the heels of Deborah Novick who has now laid her head at Dop Dop. She knows her color, I have to tell you. And her highlights? Even more dope. I always get compliments.
First off, I damn near passed the place, but Deb told me they’re fixing the front. Cool. Besides that, this salon: TOP NOTCH. I was greeted by the receptionist who told me to grab a robe and make myself comfortable. Next, I was greeted yet again by an assistant who offered me some cucumber water. Slamming! They also have tea, soda, wine, the works. When Deb was finished coloring, Lindsey gave me a great shampoo with an extra massage at the end. Thanks Linds, you really made me feel like I was at a spa!
I got your number, Deb. I’ll be calling you.

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! I LOVE my hair! I was so happy to get an appointment with George for the day after I had called. After my beloved stylist moved to California, I was in dyer need of a replacement to style my short curly hair. My last haircut was a bit of a nightmare.
A friend had gotten an awesome cut from George and highly recommended him. He was amazing! I told him what I wanted and not being so astute with styling terms, he was able to access exactly what I wanted through my rough description and the way I moved my hair around. He explained what he was going to do and it sounded perfect and he did exactly what he said he would do and it does look perfect! He really took his time with the cut and the style and I appreciate all the time and effort he put into making my hair look awesome! I will definitely be going back!
I’ve gotten great cuts before, but this is truly the first time that I got the exact cut that I wanted. It really is as good as it gets!

I found this place on
I was itching to Get a Haircut Today! I emailed Justine and voila! within 2 hours i was sitting in a salon Chair!
i was given a robe and a glass of Lemon Water on arrival. i went in for a Graduated Bob style. She took her time and gave me an awesome blowout. Justine was super sweet and cute she even recommended some Affordable Haircare products i should use on my hair since she knew i was on a budget. She Recommended that i come in for some color at one of the next Senior Student nights. like The Terminator Said. I’ll be back.
oh the Cut was $ 25 plus tip. Other Places have Free Nights but hey, $ 25 is Pretty Close to Free. I think the Cuts here During Business Hours are in the $ 80-​$ 120 Range.

two words. Holy crap. AWESOME experience.
Being a victim of a really crap 2010, I gave up the one beauty indulgence I kept for years — going to a salon for my brown-​red hair. Since I was on austerity, I infrequently victimized my hair and my home with color from a box (red hair dye plus slow drain in tub equals bathtub full-​o-​blood like substance).
Last week I’d had it. Went to call my old salon-​standby and got hung up on and put on hold. Karma told me that this was not where I wanted to go.
I’ve been eyeing reviews for months and always had my eye on Dop-​Dop. I called.
The receptionist (!!) was fabulous. How many times can you say that? Asked me numerous questions about what my hair was up to and got an appointment for the same day.
My magicians were Jenna and Noelle. Noelle gave me a great haircut (which hadn’t been cut in TEN months)… but holy crap… Jenna is my hero. she totally assessed the personal damage I’d wrought and worked at it til she got the color where she wanted it. It wasn’t fast, but for the price I got an awesome deal. She is so committed and so great with what she knows.
I wanted to wait til I’d washed it to review what i thought about my hair. I love it. I adore it. I am so happy I found this spot.
