The New Age Salon

I don’t really have a home base for my hair yet. When the last salon I’d been to was booked I looked around for another close by option. I’d noticed New Age before and decided to give it a shot. I’m glad I did.
I had a color and cut scheduled with Amanda. She texted the day of to reschedule which actually worked better for me. The space is small and cozy with an eclectic design. I was getting over a cold and Amanda offered me a hot tea with honey from her personal bee hives. How perfect is that?! She also tossed in samples of shampoo and conditioner to make up for rescheduling. Not necessary but totally appreciated.
On to the hair — my main priorities were covering my stubborn greys and maintain a length capable of being pulled back when needed. Mission accomplished. Amanda was able to tap into what I like about my hair, smoothed over the color and reshaped an old cut. I was comfortable with her the entire time and I left feeling great. I already made my next appointment so I’ll definitely be back.

You’re missing out if you’re not getting your hair cut at The New Age Salon. Amanda & Jordan are AWESOME!
I’ve been having my hair cut by Jordan for a few years, and honestly, I can’t imagine going anywhere else. Not only does she have great ideas and suggestions, she listens. You might not think of that when looking for a new hairdresser, but trust me, I’ve had ones that don’t and there’s nothing more miserable than ending up with hair you hate, even if it does grow back. This isn’t the case here. I’ve loved my cut/​style every time I’ve left here. And although Jordan is my hairdresser, I wouldn’t hesitate to have Amanda work her magic on me should Jordan not be available.
The salon itself is clean, bright & fantastically decorated. And they are quite hospitable here, offering a choice of beverages (including wine!) while you’re being styled. Pretty awesome if you ask me. Also, Amanda’s dog, William, is a fantastic little greeter. I love seeing that sweet face when I walk through the door.
There’s never a dull moment when I’m getting my haircut; both Amanda and Jordan are great to talk to and are quite funny. So… moral of the story: it’s worth it to cheat on your current hairdresser with The New Age Salon!

Jordan is the only person I will let touch my eyebrows. She makes them PERFECT, or «on fleek.»

Jordan is amazing. Definitely going back. Highly recommend!

I really dig this hair salon. They have online scheduling which is extremely convenient. There is this awesome dog who belongs to the owner of this salon who is so chill and just hangs around the salon while you’re getting your hair done. The interior is very cozy and relaxed. It is like getting your hair cut at a friends house, they really make you feel welcome. The bathroom was dirty when I came though and there were no paper towels to dry my hands. They also only take cash and this isn’t listed on their Unilocal page so make sure you have cash on hand because they don’t have an ATM in their salon. Other than those two little peeves, the experience was great. I have a really hard time trusting colorists other than my usual back home because I always want a particular look and most people are never able to get it right. However, Jordan was phenomenal. She listened to exactly what I wanted and I showed her pictures. She gave me the perfect blonde highlights. I wanted no yellow or gold tones and she made sure it was a white blonde look. I was very happy with the outcome and it cost $ 95 for a half head. I would definitely come back here for a haircut or future coloring appointments.

I was not impressed with my visit to New Age Salon. I have lived in New York City and Los Angeles and have always chosen Bumble & Bumble Salons, and have never encountered a method where you do not face the mirror. It was the most disconcerting haircut I have ever received — the least she could have done to a new customer was brief me on this «technique». I had no opportunity to tell her what I liked and didn’t, and when I told her I wanted to see her cut, she only acquiesced for a few moments and then turned me back around. The cut aside, I found the woman who cut my hair so cold, unfriendly and bored, I couldn’t wait to leave. I didn’t even bother to ask her to change my hair cut and instead had it fixed by another salon that I prefer better. I was so excited to go to New Age Salon since it has such high reviews and I was very very disappointed.

Took my little brother to this place for hair cut ! After they finished he was so happy and satisfied about his new style. However i did not like it that much.

If this were the Old Age Salon, it would be full of Floridians getting their hair did. And if it were the Middle Age Salon, well, it would be full of balding crisis men pulling up in their sports cars and such. But it’s the New Age Salon, which means only really young people (like under 57) can go here. I might rename it the New Ache Salon, since every time I play soccer, I seem to develop a new ache.
I went to this salon a long, long time ago just before I began my UK tour. It is a really nice salon, with really nice people working there, some of the sweetest girls you’re likely to meet. Their best stylists (in my opinion) moved over to the Fawn & Fox Salon, but this is still a really good place to go and get your hair done, and is by far the best option on or around the Hertel Strip.
I was pretty happy with the cut I got, and like F & F, the price came to well under 100. I didn’t get highlights though, just black colouring and a nice cut. As I said, I recommend this place because they are nice people who do great cuts.

I just got a great haircut from Jordan. When it comes to drinks and haircuts, I defer to the professionals. I dont know enough to know what I want.
This was my first cisit. I did my usual, «What do you think would compliment my head?» and she said what she wanted to do. I told her to go for it and I am really pleased with the result. It’s the haircut I alway wanted.
I highly recommend New Age Salon. This will be my regular place going forward.
Jordan is $ 50 for a cut and Amanda, the owner, is $ 60. They can’t take walk-​ins. Jordan is booked at least 2 weeks in advance and Amanda is months.

I have been a regular client of Jordan’s for several months now. I have been thoroughly impressed with the service and level of professionalism I have received. If your ready to leave your big box hair cutting place– you need to give this place a shot. A++

Finding someone who cuts hair the way you want consistently is not easy. Thanks to Unilocal,I found New Age and have been going for my irregularly scheduled haircuts with Jordan since moving to Buffalo almost 2 years ago. Booking either on their website or by phone couldn’t get any easier. Jordan is fantastic and has been able to get me in last minute during times where my work schedule was unpredictable. The salon is always clean and overall I’ve had nothing but positive experiences.

Amanda is an amazing hair artist! I get numerous compliments on my hairstyle and am always getting asked who cuts my hair. Over the years, she has changed my hairstyle always being sure to update my look as the trends go in and out. She always seems to know what style would look best with the shape of my face and match my personality. The only reason I give 4 stars is that she is amazingly popular, which means you MUST book in advance. I now book 3 or 4 appointments ahead because you have no shot of getting in if you call one week ahead. She will; however, put you on a cancellation list and give you a call if a spot opens up in case you have a hair emergency!

I am actually a really big fan of this shop for a number of reasons… first is of course that the Jordan and Amanda give great haircuts! They are both young, beautiful, hip, which to me is exactly what you want in someone who is deciding your fate with a scissor. Second, they do online scheduling which is HUGE for me… I’m busy and I pretty much need my calendar open anytime I am booking anything and it’s always awkward to say no 5x in a row to open options. At my own free time I can open the website and pick and day with whomever I like, perfect! Third, this place is not expensive… although I only cut my hair, nothing else, I think $ 45 – 50 is reasonable when I’m walking out happy. Ok ok let’s add a fourth… Amanda has a pup that hangs out in the shop and he’s super cute! Makes for fun waiting time! I recommend this joint to all my girlfriends and believe if your shopping for a new stylist to stop in and check these 2 out.

I’ve had my hair worked on by both Amanda and Jordan. They’re both consistently awesome with my hair… And I change it pretty often. Whenever I do though, they always find a way to get the results I want, while being the gentlest to my hair as they can be. It’s also a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere with great tunes always on.

This is a long overdue review, but I have to put in my 5 stars! Jordan is fantastic. I’ve been in to see her several times and she knows exactly what to do with my long hair. I get my hair cut about twice a year so I need a style that lasts! The New Age Salon is top notch and is definitely reasonably priced. It’s also super convenient that you can go through the entire scheduling process online :)

I have been going to New Age Salon since October 2010. I always look forward to my appointments there because Amanda does a great job on my hair, and because we have great conversations while she’s working.
I have very thick, wavy, and often unruly hair. It can be quite a pain to cut and stylists in the past have been annoyed with the time and process that it requires. Amanda has never been put-​off by my hard-​to-​tame locks. On the contrary, she seems to relish the challenge they present. Watching her work, you can tell she is someone who takes her craft very seriously. She always takes a few moments when she’s done to step back and admire and analyze her work, making comments about how the cut works with my waves, or how it frames my face.
I also find her to be a very positive and energizing person to spend time around. She is doing work that she loves and that inspires her, and that really comes across as you talk to her. She’s also done a lot of traveling, and she has lots of great travel stories and tips if you get on the subject. I often leave wanting to hop on a plane and have an adventure.
I would recommend New Age Salon to anyone looking for a new place to get their hair done. Amanda is extremely talented, and you will feel like she is creating a work of art as she cuts and styles your hair.

I went to the New Age Salon to get a haircut with Amanda because other reviews said she was good with curly hair. I was not disappointed! I love my new haircut.
The place looks really nice and modern. I would definitely go again.

Amanda is the best! Having recently moved from NYC (with a depressingly bad haircut) Amanda listened to me and then gave me her suggestions, which is exactly why I decided to give New Age Salon a chance. I saw so many reviews about people having incredible trust and respect for Amanda and that is exactly what I needed. If my hair doesn’t look good then I don’t feel my best, so I needed some TLC.
I showed up on a Monday night, and it was just me, my bad haircut, Amanda, and some relaxing music. And after deciding that my current cut was awful, and almost like two different haircuts, Amanda skillfully cut my hair, always asking my opinion along the way. And when it was done, I looked sexy again, which is just what I needed. Honestly, to have the owner (who trains at Bumble & Bumble in NYC) cut your hair and provide their full attention, and at very affordable prices, I feel lucky to have found New Age Salon. I’m actually going to make my next appointment right now…

I was to have a few hours on a Friday in Buffalo to kill… and what better way to spend them than getting my hair fixed up mighty fine?! Indeed. I went on The New Age Salons’ great web site an made an online appointment. Score!
I’m still rockin’ the red color I got in November. NOVEMBER. Yes, like nearly 3 months ago. I’m for real… I’m going for the ombré look now (accidentally, and haphazardly of course), so naturally the roots have grown out, but seriously… I got a damn good red dye job up in B-​lo, courtesy of The New Age Salon. It’s still a really nice color and my hair looks very healthy.
The cut? Left much to be desired, and I had to have it fixed at a local (Brooklyn) salon just a week later. My stylist in Brooklyn is not catty whatsoever and actually asked if I had cut it myself. Very uneven with strange chunks taken out of one side. That was quite disappointing and extremely rushed. It made me nervous to have my hair cut so quickly, and I could tell the gal was rushing because the color took a really long time. Cut and all over color with about 2 strands of highlights took well over 3+ hours, and I had to get myself back to NYC that evening. Grimace.
Oh, the highlights. Yes. I wanted purple highlights within my bright red hair. What can I say? I was feeling spunky.
This was the picture I showed them:
(ps feel free to follow me on pinterest, word!)
My hairdresser seemed psyched and assured me they could do it. And then began the long 3-​hour process. Some of the highlight foils were still processing and she was cutting my hair around them. I assume this is a major no-​no. The haircut showed badly, so I’m going to go with YES, don’t cut around foils. She really was just trying her best, I totally get that, but it was bad decision making. And the end product was bad.
Not to mention the purple highlights were hardly noticeable, and faded within about 1 week or less.
Had I just gotten the red dye all over color job, I think I would’ve been really, really happy. Five stars happy. The salon is smart and chic. Well appointed, clean as a whistle. Two floors of hair bliss. There’s a somewhat cold vibe coming from the staff that I couldn’t quite put my finger on. Not unfriendly at all, just a tad aloof. I’m not sure what it was, but it’s worth noting. They do have a really sweet dog though!
Also, somehow the pricing got bungled a bit, in my opinion.
It should’ve been:
Cut with all over color and half-​highlights:
90+ for color/​highlights
34 for haircut
= 124. For what was done to my hair (I have short hair)…I’m not sure how it could’ve been more than the base price of 90. But apparently it was more like $ 120 for the color. Weird.
So, even though the highlights were faintly noticeable and I got a pretty sad little haircut, I ended up paying $ 158 + tip. My stylist seemed somewhat new and asked the owner (kind of in front of me, which was awkward) and they came back with $ 158. IN a rush now (even more than before) it wasn’t worth the stress to go through the whole thing. She tried hard, but I had to pay $ 50 the following week in BK to have the haircut fixed, so this experience cost me quite a bit of money. And i never really got the glory of those great violet highlights. Maybe another day…
Really, not that much cheaper than I could’ve gotten done in Brooklyn… but I don’t regret the experience, and I would actually give them another try if I were a local. Obviously, the locals love them so I may have just hit an off day.
It’s a great salon worth checking out, just do research and read reviews for your stylists and definitely ask how long it will take if you’ve got something following your appointment. I’d also discuss price up front, even though it may seem uncomfortable, it is worth establishing so things don’t get away from you.

I have been going to New Age Salon since 2009.
After a particularly bad haircut and dye job from another local salon, I was letting my hair grow back in and debating where to go for my future hair needs. While out on the town, I met Amanda, the owner of New Age, who insisted that I make an appointment with her immediately. I made one the next day and have never looked back.
Amanda is a master with hair! When I first started seeing her, I had a blonde pixie. As a blonde, my hair was never broken or looked dry because Amanda always made the best choices for how much lighter I could go, or whether I should just do highlights. I got compliments constantly on the cut and got in the habit of keeping Amanda’s card in my wallet to give to people. My hair has gotten longer over the years, and I have never had a bad cut. Not even one that I only kind of liked. I have always left the salon feeling absolutely gorgeous. I get so bored with my hair color, and Amanda always picks something that reinvigorates me and is gorgeous. At this point, I usually just let Amanda make most of the choices in terms of color and cut because she always seems to know exactly what I need to perk my hair up.
All the other stylists are amazing too! I had an emergency cut (too much wine and the idea that my bangs were too long) with Kristin, and my hair was beautiful.
They stock Bumble and Bumble and Davines products and I have become addicted to both. The stylists often make recommendations about products, but they are never pushy, and you don’t feel obligated to purchase anything.
One thing to note: they only accept gratuities in cash! Make sure to remember to stop at the atm before your appointment!
