Bleu Sur Bleu Hair Salon

Bleu, I really wanted to like you. I came back to this salon looking for Jasmine to do my hair again for an event. Much to my dismay Jasmine does not work on Mondays, and I was paired up with someone who clearly does not know how to blow out thick, curly hair.
I am so utterly disappointed with my blowout. My next-​day hair is frizzy and going back to a curl (no I didn’t get my hair wet), which has never happened to me before in my experience with getting blowouts.
I asked the hairdresser to use a detangler /​heat protectant on my hair (the norm at any other salon) and while he nodded, completely ignored my request and went on to break tons of strands by trying to untangle my hair. I have so much damage!!!
Not sure why this salon is so product resistant (this happened last time as well), but I guess you get what you pay for. I’m willing to shell out a bit more for a much more accommodating experience at a place like Drybar (they listen to you and do their best not to attack your hair).

Very pleased with my experience here. Raj (the owner) is a lifesaver!!!
So I went to their 23^rd street location the other day and had a terrible experience with Carmen — the haircut was choppy, blunt and disconnected. There was no movement, and my hair fell flat. When I straightened it today, it was obvious that there were pieces significantly longer than others (they weren’t layers — she gave me a straight cut).
I called the salon and told them what happened, and they set up a same day appt with the owner, Raj, at this location. I was skeptical about going back to Bleu Sur Bleu after my terrible haircut the other day, but I decided to give Raj a shot. I’m glad I did!
He acknowledged that the other cut was terrible and fixed it for free. He took great care of me, gave me layers and fixed my bangs, and gave me a fabulous blow-​out. I could tell that he really took his time to ensure the haircut was as perfect as it could be.
At the end I tried tipping him, but he refused. He told me to come back in a month once it’s grown out a bit so he can fully fix the mess the other stylist made.
Great customer service — other salons in NYC should take note. I will be back.

I don’t write reviews. If anyone deserves a review, it was this business. I have been going to Raj since 2001. No one cuts my hair but Raj. I should add that most of the other stylists have also been there for years. He has a way with my curly hair — an expert understanding of how it grows in, and seems to cuts in anticipation of it being perfect over the next week. Hands down the best. As a male executive with less hair now than before — I wouldn’t trust my cut to anyone else. Just left this evening and not only was the cut perfect as usual, I was pleasantly surprised to get the best scalp massage and wash known to man. Best place ever– and reasonably priced. Win –win!

This was absolutely the worst haircut experience I’ve ever had. I should have known I was in the wrong spot when I walked in to see a room full of Kardashian-​esque stylists and customers.
I came in wanting an asym bob but my stylist strongly recommended that I rethink my decision. She told me a story about a time when she cut her hair short and hated it so much that she got extensions within a week. So since she hated her hair short I will too? I told her that I’ve shaved my head twice but she kept pushing a boring shoulder length straight cut. She tried to convince me by saying that everybody else was cutting their hair like this even after I told her several times that I don’t want to look like everybody else.
It turned out that the salon was overbooked and my haircut took less than 30 minutes before she said bye and moved on to the next girl. I can’t tell if she just wanted to get me out of her chair or if she had a genuine disregard for what I wanted. Either way, I’m down $ 72.80 and all I got was a painfully average 30 minute haircut.

I love the ambiance of this place. Javonnie is my hair stylist. She is amazing. My blow outs always come out soft and frizz free. Her super fast speed and fabulous attitude are always a plus plus. The hair washing station has the BEST chairs (with massages just like the nail salons). The girls are always through when washing my hair. The robes they offer for the entirety of your appointment are a nice comfy touch. Bleu Sur Bleu I really really like you.

I came here after work one night for a cut which simply involved using a scissor to cut straight across. No layers nothing fancy. I even skipped a wash and had Arsen cut my hair dry. He charged me 85 $ for cutting 1.5 inch of dry hair and cut it crooked. I only noticed it was not a straight cut 2 weeks later because I wore it wavy. When I finally wore it straight I see it is longer in the front. What a waste of time and money. What a crook

Never going back here. Got a haircut ($ 45), it wasn’t layered like I asked for (which was not obvious at first because I have wavy hair and always let it dry naturally but they insisted on blow drying it), came back a few days later. Saw the same stylist, told her I was there the other night and wanted it more layered. They almost charged me $ 45 all over again! I complained and they brought it down to $ 30. I told the receptionist that I’ve been to places that don’t charge you the second time if you’re not happy with the first cut. She said it was $ 30 because I got shampooed. I didn’t ask for shampoo! Then she said it would have been $ 30 anyway. GRRRRR

Good enough blow out and the price is right. I work in the area and this is the best price I’ve found. This is definitely my go to spot when I need to get a last minute blow out.

One of a kind place! Truly happy I found this blow out Bar down the street of where I reside when I visit New York. I look and feel fabulous. This is one of the perks this Wonderful city has to offer, I am always a very satisfied customer when it comes to a Shampooing and Blow Dry! Make an appointment or Walk in, I recommend to make an Appointment and ask for Arsen.
Arsen is my guy, not only is he friendly but a true talent and you will never be disappointed!!!

I usually go to the 3^rd avenue 69^th location and I have to say I am sick of the attitude at this place. The stylists are hit or miss with whether or not they know how to do a blow out. I literally left the place last time with frayed and frizzy ends. I told my stylist It needed to be smoothed out and he just slathered some product on his hands and put it over the ends. I would deal with the attitude if they at least know what they are doing. I had a conditioning treatment I brought with me that I tried to explain to the shampoo person how to use. She cut me off and half laughed at me and said that she was familiar with the product and knew how to apply it. Meanwhile she didn’t! She barely even distributed it through my hair and the results reflected that. The woman at the front desk acts like she’s doing you an enormous favor just to find someone to do a blow out. I have seen her give an attitude to the shampoo staff and the stylists as well as the clients. She clearly cannot handle the multi tasking responsible for her job and maintain a friendly demeanor. I am no longer going to pay for this experience and I would recommend staying away. The lex Ave location in the 70s is a little better from what I recall.

Great full service salon with nice affordable prices!!! Very nice talented staff. They always welcome walk-​ins.

this review is for the Flatiron location (106 East 23^rd St). Awesome /​excellent salon! After having bad color jobs & cuts I finally found the place. Chic, modern and I work with Marilyn (from Paris !!) My hair is back in shape with flattering color and a cut that works ! prices are very reasonable as well. Would recommend.
Thank you Marilyn ! Note: everyone here seems to be experienced!

I’m currently growing out a pixie cut which can leave hair in always stages. I walked in with a mullet; I was quickly greeted and introduced to Freddie. He listened to what my ideas were and understood my awkward length. He was extremely thorough and made sure I was pleased. I know in a month the length will be exactly where I want it. And I will be visiting Freddie again for a hair treatment VERY soon!

At first I was a bit put off by the general reception. The day I went there stylist were just sitting around no-​one smile or bothered to greeted me and I was considering turning and walking out of there. Then enters Penny. She was professional but warm and friendly. I wanted to change my hair color and she took the time to explain what colors would work for me and why and at the end of the session I left there feeling happy I listened to her. Even though it was a subtle change of tone my friends thought it made me look years younger and happier. so thank you Penny with the red hair!
I took a star off because I thought some of the workers there could do with a bit of etiquette and customer service training.

Can you give a place a 0 star review? I have literally never seen worse customer service in my entire life! I went in for a simple hair cut (my hair is really simple, so I don’t even need to get it washed beforehand). I sat down and he (I forget his name, I really really wish I had written it down or remembered it, but he was a Hispanic man of average build… can’t remeber his name but he SUCKS) began cutting my hair. About halfway through, he goes, «ok get up, she’s going to wash your hair and then I’ll finish you up,» which I thought was very weird, but I was like ok whatever. After I sat down to get my hair washed (I didn’t need or ask for this service) some random lady that had just walked in sat down in the guy’s chair, and he began to cut her hair. I finished my wash, and she was still there. I asked him what was going on, and he said «just give me one minute». Twenty, TWENTY minutes later she was still sitting there (every five minutes I was told «just one more minute»). When I finally sat down for him to finish my haircut, he rushed through finishing it, giving me several razor burns on my neck in the process (I would shout «ow!» and jerk away, but he did not make any attempt to not continue doing this). As soon as it was done, I paid and rushed out of there without tipping (I am usually a generous tipper but come on, this was ridiculous). Avoid this place, and especially this guy at all costs. If you’re itching to get an overpriced, $ 50 men’s haircut, go somewhere else.

Jose Antonio moved to a different location! He’s now at Bleu Sur Bleu at Flatiron: 4 East 23^rd Street.

I went there just for a blow dry. The stylist was in a rush, and I tried to tell him to stop pulling my hair. He didn’t care, and he finished in like 5 minutes. I have also never seen a dirtier brush. I was grossed out.
The girl who washed my hair was really nice though.
The price is ok. This is what you get for the price.

I usually never write reviews but dealing with this salon I couldn’t have not. I usually go to a different salon in Manhattan for my coloring but every time is was done, I wasn’t quite satisfied with the results.
My previous colorist was not living up to my expectations of the way I needed my hair to look, so I decided to look for a new Salon. I found Salon Bleu Sur Bleu completely by accident while walking down the street. I walked in and asked who they can recommend for my highlights and they recommended their new colorist Rada. I decided to try her out since this is a high end salon and I knew I couldn’t go wrong with their suggestion. Her work is absolutely amazing; I never had highlights look this great before.
I highly recommend her to everyone who wants a gorgeous color. Thank you very much Rada and I cannot wait to come back!

Arsen was a sweetheart who listened to what i wanted and wasnt afraid to laugh with me about cutting off my long hair.
I was able to make a same day appointment to catch him on an hour he had free and I was glad i did. The receptionist was great and giggled as she swept up my hair from the floor and Arsen made sure i was satisfied before i walked out the door. A little more expensive than im used to spending (im a cheapskate when it comes to stuff like this) but it was worth the 80 + tip.
looked like the did a lot of services for men, too, which is useful.
recommend.

My first experience here was nothing but positive, so I’ll be back.
I worked with Arsen who’s absolutely one of the nicest guys I’ve met at any business here in the city. Quiet but engaged, helpful, going to the trouble of checking me out after I was done and realized he wanted to do a bit more trim on my sideburns. Little things like this go a long way. I saw the colorist who’s name I fail to remember. I wanted to «wash» some of the grey out of my sideburns. NOT dye my hair completely. She took her time with me, talked with me before hand and made sure I understood the process since I’d never had it done before. All around great people.
Not an inexpensive place. A trim and the color was about $ 100. Maybe that’s the norm for most womens’ cuts, but I’m a guy who already had buzzed hair when I walked in. Still, it was worth it. I’ll definitely be seeing Arsen again!
