Royal Beauty Hair Salon

I got my first ever ombré done here by Moses a while back. Though I was in the salon for about a total of six hours, I didn’t have much to complain about as my hair turned out beautiful. The total came out to be $ 300 before tip (with no hair cut), which I thought was a biiiit steep. idunno. But then again, I do have very long hair. Regardless of the price, I was very satisfied with how my hair looked in the end. Staff was very nice.

I’ve been wanting to do something different with my hair but I was worried it wouldn’t turn out that great but Moses (my hairstylist) did his magic! I went in on a random day and asked for a price quote as well as a consultation and then booked a morning appointment the day after with Moses. On the day of the appointment, I was greeted with a friendly welcome and then directed straight to the chair. He asked me if I was ready and I said no (haha). It was my first time bleaching my hair so I was worried about that as well. I had a previous highlight/​color job done to my hair a few months ago so he had to eliminate and lift all those colors out of my hair (my hair was a slight dark brown/​copper red with brownish/​orange highlights). After a long 4 – 5 hours, it turned out to be a fabulous smooth blend from natural to purple to lavender! He was very helpful, friendly and accommodating. I would definitely recommend him. Thanks Moses!

another updated review because i got more work done this time!
i’ve been contemplating on getting purple hair and decided to finally go for it. i showed Moses a pic of what i was looking for and he made suggestions based on my personal traits. since we both liked my current length, Moses gave me a simple trim to give me more volume. afterwards, they started bleaching my hair and Moses would check on me periodically. then they washed it out, apply hair dye, and then washing it out again. 3 ½ hours later, i have a head full of purple hair! it’s so beautiful and radiant, i couldn’t stop checking it out. haha.
i got tons of compliments on it and i thank Moses for his work again.

I had such high expectations when I came here based on the reviews and pictures. I needed a haircut so badly before I went back to school. I usually go to &hair lounge for my haircut/​coloring but as I live in queens, it was too far (and too cold) to make the trip to soho.
I came in on a Friday afternoon (1pm) without an appointment and they were able to see me since there weren’t a lot of people there.
The hair wash was good, spent a while there because of the massage. What I had a problem with, was the haircut. The hairdresser, who I shall not name, cut my hair wet. Usually, they dry it a little bit and cut it while still a bit wet then dry it completely and trim it again or just completely dry it first. So I was a bit uncomfortable with this method.
I told her I wanted to keep my length, and I wanted a trim, long layers and bangs, as I have grown my bangs out for over a year now and I missed having bangs (big mistake).
Firstly, most of the hairdressers I’ve been to, have often clipped my hair in sections and cut it that way since I have thick hair, but this particular one didn’t. She just took sections and snipped. Now here comes the part that made my experience terrible. She took a part of my hair in front and cut straight across to make side bangs. Straight across! I knew it’d look terrible so I asked if she could make them slanted, like from short to long. And layer it a bit since I have thick hair. She didn’t do neither of it. It got shorter as she cut/​trimmed my bangs. In the end, I knew there was nothing more she could do and I would have to keep these bangs and wait for them to grow out. I should have just asked for a trim on what became of my bangs instead of just asking for bangs.
The rest of my hair turned out fine, the length was fine, it’s just my bangs weren’t fine. I think she was trying to fix it cause she kept trying to «style» it to the side, blow dry it with a brush repeatedly, etc. my bangs are so hard to work with right now. I have no choice but to pin it to the side since I can’t even put them behind my ears.
Even though &hair is way more expensive, I’ve never had a bad experience with my hairdresser there so I’d rather make the trip and spend that money there. Sorry, I really wanted to like this place.

Third time here, second time dying my hair and once again AMAZING results. After looking at one of Seven’s balayage pictures, I immediately booked my appointment with him! Being here within less than a year and loving the results I had with Elson, I felt secure coming here & bleaching my hair once again.
The whole bleaching process lasted about 40 minutes or so for the color to stay but overall I stayed there about 4 hours and a half. They made sure if I needed anything since I was there for a pretty long time.
Although communicating with Seven was a bit difficult, we both were able to get our point across which was great :) Definitely coming back to get a trim since I wasnt able too earlier today.
Let me add, tonss of compliments: Dk

I have been trying to avoid giving this place a bad review but after more than one disappointing experience at this salon, I decided to do it. My hair was dyed unevenly. Once I went out in natural lighting, you could very obviously see that my roots and some sections were much lighter than the rest of my hair. Don’t even try getting them to correct their own mistake without paying full price again. The salon manager will make up some excuse on why it didn’t turn out well, even if you gave them a good tip when you left. The salon manager is really good at bullshitting as long as his salon makes money. All they care about is getting more money and guess what, it’s not smart in the long run because customers will lose respect for this salon, tell everyone they know about it, and never come back.

I stopped by here to bleach and color my hair after reading reviews here. I chose Moses as my stylist and Ting Ting was the assistant. While the hair wasn’t exactly how I wanted it (when does t ever turn out exactly as the photo), Moses did his best to accommodate my wishes. My hair was previously colored black so when I bleached my hair, the red came out and Moses personally went to get the color corrector from his car. I was at the salon for 5 hours so when I was finally done– I was happy with the end product. Moses is very talented at cutting hair! I would go back to cut my hair but might choose a different place to color just because of the language barrier. Overall, I DO like my hair :)

My friend and I got the earliest appointment and she was with danny and I got Vicky. My friend wanted balayage and I just wanted a nice chocolate brown. FYI, just because u requested a certain stylist doesn’t mean they will work on your hair the entire time. they have assistants that does the majority of the work and they’ll supervise them on what to do. Anyway, my roots came out lighter than it was supposed to be so I asked her to tone my light hair down a bit and she agreed. At first she said it matched and that it was because of the lighting but I beg to differ. After toning my hair the fumes were so strong so ting ting gave me a towel to cover my nose which was nice of her. She really washed my hair and massaged it thoroughly. Although she was quiet she sorta attempted to make convo… but the one thing I didn’t really appreciate was the fact that they asked if I was Chinese and then spoke in their language and started laughing here and there. I mean, I know they must’ve said something about me wanting to re-​do the top half but whatever I just want nice hair. In the end it was better than the first time although still a little light but it’ll do. After about 4 hours my friend was done with hers. She got a hair cut by Danny as well. Her balayage turned out nice. He did a great job in my opinion although some areas had streaks that were brass but the majority of his work was good. I would def come back to him to do balayage if I had a choice. Overall our experience was good, we saved a lot by not going to Manhattan to hair lounge but I would recommend this place to people trying to save but still get decent results. They get busy so book an appointment and ask for Danny for balayage because he’s known for that!

I never give bad reviews, but, I think this one is merited. I came in for Balayage hair highlights. First off, they do not speak English well at all. Communication was extremely difficult from the beginning. They charged me $ 230 for Balayage coloring. Ok, for that price they can’t go wrong, they must know what they’re doing. She started by EVENLY highlighting alternating rows and columns of my hair with foils to separate the strands. This defeated the whole purpose of Balayage, which is done with FREE HAND highlighting and randomly. The only nice thing I will say is that she (Mika) tried to be courteous.
Then I had Seven cut my hair. He also did loose curls at the very end. Unfortunately, during my half hour ride home the curls came undone and my hair just looked AWFUL!!! Plus, I was 1 hour late for my dinner appointment. The entire process took almost 4 hours.
At one point I sat on the chair with my hair damp waiting for the trim. A woman asked me to get up from the chair to sit in the guest seating area. Mind you, there were plenty of other open seats for hair treatment. She was rude.
Overall, this salon tried to pass as an upscale salon but it is just another mediocre salon in Flushing.
I will never be coming back here and I do not recommend it.

After a terrible perm in China, I completely lost hope for my hair. It was so dried out to the point where it felt fried and crunchy. I came to Royal Hair Lounge for a color correction and a much needed hair treatment. I asked for Moses, and it turned out way better than I expected! My hair felt like real hair again! The process took around 2 & ½ hours. Moses really takes the time to figure out what would look best for your hair! Definitely coming back again!

Today was my second time getting my hair done at Royal beauty. I am very satisfied with their customer service and professionalism. I had another stylist the first time I visited this place but I chose Moses this time and I do not regret it one bit. As soon as I walked in he sat me down and talked me through the process of choosing a color. He showed me what color I could get without bleach and he also gave me very helpful suggestions. He made me feel very comfortable and he was super polite.
He cut my hair and respected my opinions. He was very diligent. After he cut my hair, his assistant put the dye in my hair and Moses made sure to continuously check up on me. He also offered me their gloss at half price because of a holiday promotion. His tips and recommendations were very helpful. I will definitely be going back and I will be asking for him every single time I return from now on!
The color came out exactly as I pictured it and these pictures definitely don’t do his work justice.
If you’re smart, you’ll ask for Moses to be your stylist as well. I highly recommend! :)

First time going to a «higher end» hair salon & I’m glad I researched this one :). It had great reviews and someone really fucked up my hair with bleach. It was patchy and looked like a 3 year old did it. I didn’t even want to go to the salon because I thought they would just laugh but they didn’t (in my face anyways, I don’t mind if they do it when I leave.)
I walked in without an appointment at around 11am and after 2 minutes they got me seated. Moses was the one who talked my through the whole process. He explained what they were going to do and what was best for the color I wanted. Another girl was the one who bleached my hair but I forgot to ask her name. She was VERY patient and took her time which I greatly appreciate. I did a bleach and tone. When I told them I had to leave soon for work, they didn’t rush. I stead they has 2 stylists work on my hair! Very professional. Surprisingly, I saw a lot of guys there getting cuts & styles and let me say… they did I great job on them. Any age and gender is welcome here.
When they were done, Mose put lots of oils in my hair because of the bleach. He framed and straighten it very nicely. I didn’t think they would take the time to style it as well. All the workers there are amazing nice and patient :) !!! My new go-​to place.
Bleaching– $ 80
Toning– $ 80
I gave 2 workers $ 12 tips, wish I could’ve given more.

Love this place!!! I been here about a few times now. I recently wanted to dye my hair purple and Moses was super helpful in explaining the whole process and how long the purple was gonna last. He listens to what I want and also give his professional advise! I even brought my friend here to try and she loves it too! They are often busy so try make appointment but even if you don’t make appointment usually Moses is very happy to accommodate me. Everyone that works there are super nice too and they never rush. There was one time I came in pretty late and Moses had to work overtime. Since I color my hair purple for the first time the assistant (I forgot her name) taught me how to maintain it. So they are super helpful. If anyone is in flushing looking for a new salon definitely try Royal out you won’t regret it!!! :)

I started off with long permed-​straight black hair, and ended up with a dark brown to light brown balayage that I really enjoy!
1. I called in multiple times previously to make sure that I would be able to get my hair done in the time constraints that I needed it to be done, and they were good at answering my questions over the phone. HOWEVER, I told them I wanted to dye and bleach my LONG hair, and they said it would be $ 180 – 240. I didn’t even bleach my hair and it ended up being $ 255 without tip included. Perhaps a misunderstanding but still, it was unexpected.
2. When I first walked in, Vicky sat me down and took the time to talk to me for half an hour about how I wanted to do my hair! I wasn’t sure about paying to bleach it or how light I wanted it or anything, but she was very good about her recommendations without pressuring me to do what she wanted, and broke down the prices every time I asked her to.
3. In the end, TIngting put all of the coloring stuff in my hair and washed it, while Vicky trimmed it, checked up on me, and styled it at the end. I was about to be out in 3 hours, because I told them ahead of time I wanted to be out by 6pm.
So TL;DR
I am very happy with the customer service and kindness and patience I was shown when I was there, however the pricing seemed a little more than what I was expecting… I didn’t have an exact image of the hair I wanted, but in the end I’m happy with the results!
$ 35 for a haircut
she told me if i just wanted the color on the bottom, itd be $ 190+35
for changing color of my entire head and then balayage on the bottom, which is what i did, itd be $ 255+35
if i wanted to bleach my hair for an all around lighter result, itd be $ 290+35
Maybe it’s because I had long hair, but over the phone I was told twice when I was expecting to bleach my hair that it should be 180 – 240. However I’m still happy with the results~

My hair went from ratchet to Fab! XP
I came here after seeing a friend’s results (which was amazing)
I made an appointment with Moses. I was seated right away and he gave me a consultation.
I wanted to a platinum blonde ombré but I was told that my hair would be far too damaged if I went straight to that color. So I settled for a similar color.
Just to put it out there, my hair is over processed and it always fades orange (which I completely depise). I was worried that hair would turn even more brassy after the bleach, but Moses reassured that it wouldn’t and it didn’t. He managed to pull all the orange tones out.
All I can say is Moses really knows what he’s doing and will let you know if something works or not. I’ve been to ALOT of salons in the past and this is by far one of the best ones.
Moses is a total hair magician haha :)

I wanted to get my hair done before heading on vacation. However, every salon in manhattan were booked till a week or two later, but I was leaving in two days. Luckily, I kept searching on Unilocal and found this salon, which is apparently the only salon in queens that does the technique balayage. Lucky for me, I live in queens, how convenient.
I made an appointment right away for that morning and left to go. When I entered the salon it was quiet and very clean, how I like it. My hairdresser/stylist’s name was Elson, he was very patient and nice. I showed him a picture of the colors I wanted for my hair and he explained truthfully that the process would be a couple hours and that the color might not show after the first bleach because my hair had been changed drastically multiple times, the color might not hold. I fully understood that.
The end result for my ombré balayage was fantastic. If you’re debating to go here or not, just do it.

I had a great experience here. I went with a friend and we just made appointments without asking for a particular stylist. I had Moses and she has Danny. We both wanted a blonde ombré but as I was consulting with Moses, he managed to convince me to go Ash brown instead because he said it would match my skin tone and style more.
Sooooo glad he talked me into it! I’m totally in love with the color now and all my friends compliment me on it!
The only reason why I give this a four star and not a five star is because it came out less of an ombré than I wanted. I wanted the ends completely colored but it was more balayage I guess. It still turned out spectacular but that would be my only complaint.
Moses is definitely the stylist to go to! He instantly made me feel comfortable with his easy smile and was always checking to see that I knew what was happening every step of the way.

This is the first time in my life I’ve decided to go for a drastic hair change – I wanted a blonde ombré. I did multiple google image searches and cross referenced different Unilocal listings… and then found this place. First of all, the successful pictures drew me to them. Then I read all the raving reviews and immediately made an appointment with my friend.
When I got there, I had Elson look at my hair. I explained to him what I wanted and he immediately understood. I have long-​ish hair so I thought it might take a while to achieve the ombré look that I wanted, but it was surprisingly fast. (I’m used to long salon sessions because I perm my hair a lot). He was really nice and patient and so was his assistant. Everyone was awesome and I really love the outcome! I’m definitely returning for future hair adventures, because I’ve planned quite a few.

I came to this salon twice, both to bleach my hair and both times i was extremely happy with the outcome.
If you are thinking of going blonde or getting a dramatic color (like i did) this is the place to go. Elson was my stylist and he was very friendly and constantly came to check up on how i was doing and what was currently happening with my hair.
I went from dark brown hair to blonde and my hair isnt that damaged. This goes to show how much care they handle your hair with.

My stylist was Danny and his assistant Mika!
They were both very nice! I had very short hair, up to my chest. and it was a bit difficult to work with Im not going to lie but they did a good job giving me a natural ombré. I am fairly pleased with it. Once my hair gets longer. I will touch up the roots and being getting my hair recut from danny.
Thanks guys!
