Ink For Hair

My hair is orange:(
I specifically said I would like my roots touched up and to be truer to the blonde my hair was. (I’ve gotten my hair done at bumble and bumble and fekkai this past year but went to this place because it was cheaper. I learned my lesson).
I asked for hair color and being professionals they should’ve insisted on highlights but instead I just went with what they suggested and got color. Then afterwards they said to come back for highlights. I usually just entrust in the stylists to do the right thing but in this case this was a huge mistake.
They were however super nice and I truly believe they think they are doing the right thing, even telling me how beautiful my hair looked before i left. I didn’t have the heart to tell them that I was almost in tears and absolutely hated it.
The cut was good so 2 stars for that.
Unfortunately I can’t with good conscience recommend this place to women for hair coloring.

I went in here yesterday to get a trim. I had a bob that was growing out disastrously. Olga was my stylist and she was terrific. She listened to exactly what I wanted and took into account my curly hair when trimming. Her blowout was great and lasted for the rest of the day. Will definitely go back when I need another haircut in six months!

I’ve gotten my hair styled twice here. Both times were walk-​ins. Both times I was seated immediately and had a stylist check out my hair while dry — always a good sign.
The first time I had Olga, who did a great job of cleaning up my hair I was growing out from a short pixie.
The second time, today, I had Colleen, who was lovely, patient, and really worked with me to get what I want.
I can recommend both as excellent.
This salon is a quiet little haven tucked away on a busy street.

Went in trying to fix a prior bad haircut experience and based on the reviews had high hopes to meet Nermina. Well it’s been a sweet 6 weeks since then and my haircut keeps getting better and better. To offer some insights into Nermina’s technique, let me start by saying that I clearly explained that I wanted my hair to be slightly layered around my face and to have some natural movement on the back. What happened next was out of this world. First she trimmed my hair, then for the «layer effect» and by the time I was able to see it through the mirror it was already too late, she pulled my hair from the back upwards and proceeded to chop it off with a pair of scissors. That was it, that was the «layer effect», from there she continued «adding the volume» that I had asked for. Then she styled it and because of that it looked like it wasn’t so bad. Next few hours when I got home and took a shower I had tears running down. My hair was worst than before seeing Nermina. This unfortunate incident took around 15 minutes. I know I have a lot of hair and normally for a good haircut it takes between 45 min to 1 hour. Still letting it grow but it is highly insulting to describe this woman as a hairstylist. Just because she is nice doesn’t mean she knows what she is doing. So if you care for the condition of your hair and the direction in which it will start growing, DO NOT see NERMINA. Also, never ever had anyone washing my hair and not holding the back of my neck so I didn’t hit the front of the sink. Awful place altogether.

Colleen is friendly, patient, and works with you. She gave me a good haircut and it’s growing out nicely.

After a lot of Unilocal based research and looking for deals on lifebooker, I chose Ink because it was close to work and I wanted a haircut asap. Tried to book an appointment through LifeBooker and they quoted $ 66 dollars for a Shampoo/​Cut which was a lot more than the price listed $ 39. So I called the salon instead. The receptionist was very helpful and quoted $ 50 for my hair since it was quite long. I was able to get an appointment for the next day. Despite arriving early for my appointment, I was immediately greeted by Olga who led me over to the washing stations and patiently listened while I explained what I was looking for. She worked quickly, periodically letting me know what she was doing because I was quite anxious about the final length. She seemed knowledgeable about wavy/​curly hair and I am very happy with the result. Even though a blowdry was not part of my package, she gave my hair a quick blast so I could she how my hair looked once it dried and began to curl. I was in and out in 20 – 25 mins! My only qualm was that more than once I was asked if I wanted to add a blowout/​why I did not want one. I found this a bit pushy, but overall the place was clean, spacious and I would definitely go back.

I had just gotten my hair done today at Ink and all I could think about on the way home was that I needed to add an amazing review for Zahira. 3 days ago I had gotten my hair done with an «ombré» effect at a different salon and hated it so bad. The top of my head was super brassy and red and it literally looked like I had a helmet on my head instead of a gradient effect you get from an ombré. So I did some research for a salon in the city because I knew I would be in the area for the day because of work meetings. I found Ink and saw they had decent reviews and took a gamble and let me just say that I got lucky. I never do something like this but I literally walked in and asked for someone to help with coloring my hair. I was introduced to Zahira and began to explain what I didn’t like about my hair color and what I was looking for. I figured I would judge the stylist by how they consulted me and then decide if I should let them proceed. She took her time to examine my hair and reviewed many options. She explained things thoroughly so that I understood what would help make my color look better. I felt comfortable with letting her get started thereafter. She put highlights and lowlights in to get rid of the terrible ombré and then glazed and toned it. I was there for a few hours but I really didn’t mind. I just had to get rid of my terrible dye job and was praying all was going to go well. When Zahira began to blow out my hair I wanted to almost cry in tears of joy. The color was exactly what I was looking for. I think I was brought to Ink by faith. If it wasn’t for the crappy dye job I had before then I would have never gone to Ink and met Zahira. I will definitely make future appointments with her and you should too!

I walked in off the street and had a great blow-​out by Reny. Highly recommend.

I landed in NY from LA and realized that I desperately needed a trim. Ink was around the corner from my hotel and they took me as a walk in. Elana was great and though it was on 5^th ave, the price was equivalent to LA rates. Seriously, one of the best cuts I have had in years!

I got a terrible haircut a few weeks back. I am in NYC for a conference and my hotel is just a short walk to Ink, so I decided to book an appointment in hopes that someone could salvage my long locks. I am happy to report that I got an AWESOME haircut/​blow-​dry by Olga. Thankfully, I am in NYC often and will definitely be back to see her in a few months.

I’ve been going to Ink for a few years now and I love this place. Everyone is really friendly and the place is very clean. I always go to Nermina to do my hair. She always cuts my hair just how I want it and she does an awesome job styling. I recommended her to some of my friends and they go to her as well.

Ink is your place to go in midtown! Very effective, time efficient, convenient, super clean, reasonably priced, and accommodating. The staff is always very friendly, and caring (in a genuine way).
I have been going to ink for close to 10 years and have had ALL colors and cuts you can imagine. Whether I see Nermina, Yukio or Agnes, my experience is always a fantastic one! Because I have had my hair cut by all the fore mentioned (several times), I now know who to look for depending on what I want my hair to do.
Nermina and Agnes are your women for big, lush blowouts (30−35mins), and all colors in the spectrum. I mean, these girls will give you exactly what you want, plus suggest what else can be done, and work with your face structure. When doing color, make sure to have adequate time-​key to getting the results you want, and you will walk out of their chair looking like a goddess.
Yukio is a hair doc. and will perform all Nermina and Agnes can, but works a bit slower… His approach is very artistic, and extremely gentle when working with hair.
Jasie, the gorgeous coordinator, will go out and beyond to accommodate your schedule.
Try them out!
Ink, you rock my hair, baby!

I went here a couple weeks ago for a walk-​in appointment. I just wanted a quick touch up, and the stylist did a great job (I can’t remember the guy’s name or else I would mention it here). It’s also pretty affordable – $ 50 without a blow dry.
My only caveat is that the price goes from $ 50 to $ 66 with a blow dry. I’m annoyed that salons are starting to charge an additional fee for something that I think should be included after a hair cut, but that’s not exclusive to Ink – it’s at other salons too.

I LOVE THIS SALON! I wish I found it sooner!
Making an appointment is always easy breezy. I always get haircut here, every few months. David is my stylist. He is GREAT!!!
Last time I went for a haircut was three weeks ago, and I got tons of compliments from strangers (and co-​workers) for my new hair.
The haircut is $ 66 includes shampoo, haircut and blow dry.

How did I miss this place for so long?
I noticed the sign outside the building and decided to give it a try for a blowout. Colleen did an expert job, great price too. It is also nicely decorated, spotlessly clean and friendly, efficient workers. Ink has replaced Drybar for me!

I LOVVVVE THIS SALON! I go here every 6 weeks and Colleen is AMAZING! She literally does the best blowouts and cuts ever. Also the receptionist, other stylists, hair washers etc are very friendly and professional. I recommend this salon if you are looking to not break the bank and get amazing results. Also, its super clean!

I absolutely love this salon. I go to see Dana, my trusted hair colorist and stylist for over seven years. She’s a genius when it comes to color and cuts, and has always been able to adjust to what I want with stellar results when it comes to my highlights/​lowlights/​root lift. Considering Manhattan rates, she’s pretty reasonable when it comes to pricing. You will never feel rushed. She’s also one of the warmest and sweetest people I’ve ever met. Recently, I had her do the Keratin treatment for the first time and I couldn’t be happier. Dana is only satisfied when clients are happy and she will make sure to do just that.
There’s also the added benefit that this salon is specious, clean and beautifully designed. I’m always greeted with a warm welcome from owners Jesse and Richard :)

I just got the best highlights I’ve ever had. I have dirty blond hair and don’t get my hair done frequently so it’s really important that my highlights grow in naturally. I got mine done by Dana who is awesome.

Gave me exactly what I wanted, the service was quick and friendly, and the price makes it absolutely accessible.

Fabulous experience. I made a same-​day appointment and saw Elena for a cut. I needed to be in and out in under an hour, and was looking to spend $ 60 or less. Elena saw me immediately, even though I showed up 15 minutes early. She asked just enough questions about my maintenance routine and desired look, then proceeded to give me the best cut I’ve ever gotten in a mid-​priced city salon. She took me as short as possible while still keeping to ponytail length, as requested, and added some subtle layers that did wonders to lighten my very thick hair. She was personable but did not chatter away the entire time, which I definitely appreciate. The cut was $ 48 as quoted, keeping me right around my budget with tip.
The facilities were clean, spacious and stylish; the music was top-​100 but not blaring; the appointment booking process was effortless and clear; and most importantly I am very happy with my cut. They accept Visa, Mastercard or Discover for the bill. Tips are cash-​only, and an ATM is available. If you work nearby there’s no better option for expertly done mid-​priced services.
