Blossom Salon

Okay so I’m just gonna give a breakdown of my review for this salon. First off I would like to say that this review will be useful for African American women or women with relaxed/​natural hair. My hair isn’t natural, it’s relaxed but I haven’t relaxed it in almost 3 months
The 2 stars is for the fact that they accepted me as a walk in after 6 o clock. Also, the overall establishment was very clean and welcoming. The staff was also very friendly.
My experience: I went in for a wash and set, deep conditioner and blow out. The woman that was doing my hair (didn’t get her name) seemed to be in a slight rush (not too much) but I figured they all just wanted to go home since it’s Friday night. The wash and deep conditioner was fine and so was the setting part. When it was time to blow out my hair there was no moisturizer, oil, grease etc, added to my hair prior to the blow out process so my hair was very dry before actually being blown out. After the blow dry the hair stylist didn’t flat iron my hair or style it at all. It was just that. A blow out. My hair was very dry and my roots didn’t feel as soft as I was accustomed to it feeling. All together this service was $ 51 including tip.
I always went to a salon in queens named «Best Salon» and it was just that. THE BEST. Today I leaned that they were closed down which is why I came across this place on Unilocal in the first place. My wash and set at that salon always made me feel like a brand new person for no more than $ 40 including tip for the same exact process so I guess my standards are a bit high. In conclusion, if you are African America and you typically go to a Dominican hair salon in queens or Brooklyn for a wash and set then I will not recommend this place to you … You will be very disappointed.

The stylists at Blossom work with all types of hair. I’ve been coming here since 1996 and when I come to NYC, this is a must! Natural since 2011, Ada and her team know what they’re doing.

This place is a SCAM
The ladies are not even Intrested to do your hair … Seriously !!! The owner is so confused on how much she wants to make
Money out of you. Listen get a fixed price list!!! I have been to so many Dominican hairdressers and this the worstplace by far. I recommend you go to SEXY FLOW IN EAST VILLAGE, 205 avenue a.
That is more legit professional hair salon where u wanna be at.

I came here for the first time today. I got a wash and set, deep condition and blow dry. Ruth was so great and she was even understanding of the fact that I had to run to get back to work. My hair came out beautiful!!! I got compliments on it as soon as I walked out of the salon. I will definitely be coming back! A hidden gem in Hell’s Kitchen.

Humm, after going here for about a year and paying the price for wash and se, which is 35 Dollars the owner randomly decides to tell my hair stylist (Kathy) that I need to be paying 40 dollars. I didn’t ask her why, I really didn’t care, but the way she addresses it was very unprofessional. She stated that she will be charging me the 35 dollars today for the last time, BUT I need to pay 40 next time. Prices are 35 dollars, I really didn’t understand why she decides to randomly puts a price up. Sign says 35 dollars. If she would have been charging me 40 bucks all this time, then it is what it is. She just rudely just told me that. Now they just lost a customer. It’s the principle.

I’ve been looking for a spot that is not afraid to tackle natural hair an I have found it.
As soon as I walked in I was greeted with open arms an they asked what I needed.
They do wonders, without even breaking
A sweat. They had me an my daughter looking like we just had a perm.

Visited here while I was New York for my birthday. I was hesitant because I don’t trust many with my hair but thought to give it a shot because of the good reviews. When I arrived, I was greeted and sent to the washing station right away.
Jocelyn was my hairdresser. She was very nice, a little funny and made me feel relaxed. I got a deep conditioner and blow out. She did an amazing job on my hair. I haven’t had my hair straightened for some time now, so it was nice to see it in a different style.
I wish that I lived in NYC because I’d visit this salon more often.

First time in today. Excellent service, quick, personable and my hair has never looked better. Will be going back weekly.

Came into the salon for the first time today. I decided to try it because I had to kill time before a Unilocal event.
I called ahead and Ruth gave me all the info I needed. When I actually went in, the smile matched the voice. Ruth was homely and warm, she actually started on me right away. I appreciate that because some salons will still have you wait just for the fun of it.
I LOVE that she asked about my hair care regimen and gave recommendations for different types of conditioners. Also, while putting in the curlers she asked about my hair style preferences ‚
(this is important for the direction of roller placement)
When it was time to go under the dryer she offered me reading materials, another plus.
I appreciate having a salon in the city that can execute le «wash n set»
Price was 35 not back for midtown. Also, conditioners are 5 dollars extra.
Go see Ruth and all will be well.

Ruth did an amazing job on my hair. I had color with highlights and a cut. Ruth was incredibly nice, skillful and gave me the best hair coloring I have ever had – seriously. No hyperbole intended. I went to this salon because it was close to my hotel so I was a little nervous. Other reviews, though, helped me feel better about my choice. My color and highlights look so natural and lovely, I feel really great now. Thank you, Ruth! If you are visiting New York and need hair pampering, please see Ruth or her colleagues. Everyone who walked out looked great, including me!

I go to this salon whenever I need to go to a salon during my lunch hour. Kathy is great, very friendly and fast which is what I need since I go during lunch. I have done my hair with another lady there who wasn’t as fast as Kathy but made my hair look great as well. I have curly hair which gets frizzy fast if not done well. When I have gone to Blossom’s my hair has lasted almost a week, even if I have gone dancing. It is a bit pricey compared to my neighborhood’s Dominican salons but a lifesaver in Midtown. I usually get a wash and set, they do not pressure you to do a deep conditioner.
Overall great staff and location.

Love Love Love! This salon. I’ve been going religiously about 2 — 3 times per month since September last year. My stylist is Kathy. I usually get a simple wash and set with a deep conditioner. With my previous salon I would go home and curl my hair and then rewrap it. I don’t have to do this anymore. My hair has grown and I no longer have breakage or split ends.
The staff is very friendly, the hours are convenient and Kathy apparently has magic fingers.
The only downfall is that they charge a fee for credit card transactions so bring cash. They are pricier than other Dominican styled hair salons in the outer boroughs. A wash and set with deep conditioner is $ 35.
They are my salon of choice.

I came in for the first time as a walk in. I asked if they take credit card, and they said yes. I sat down for a haircut (had asked only for a wash and cut). The woman started to dry my hair, and I should have stopped her at that point. At the end, I got charged for wash and blow dry, which ended up being much more. I was fine paying for it but then they came up with a charge for using a card. I was not told this beforehand, when I asked specifically about using a card. They’re not upfront and that made me angry. The haircut was only okay. I do not recommend this salon for anyone.

This salon is a bit hole-​in-​the-​wall-​y and not so professional looking. It’s also very expensive for a blow-​out only, compared to many of the similar salons in the area. That said, I had a great experience. I had a photo shoot last minute and needed my hair done. There was no one in the salon, so the stylist had availability for me right away, in the middle of the day. She spent an hour blowing out my hair, and it looked fantastic for like four days! I’d definitely recommend, but it still seems unfair to pay nearly $ 50 for a blow-​out only when a cut and blow-​out is $ 55.

I was in need of a good haircut and my friend recommended that I try Ruth at Blossom. Now I am very particular when it comes to my hair. I moved to NY almost 3 years ago from DC and would travel home to my long-​time hair stylist for cuts. When I walked into Blossom yesterday, the staff was extremely professional and Ruth was very kind. (I was late and she still took me after they closed) Ruth did an incredible job on my hair! I absolutely love it! I explained only once what I thought I wanted and she hooked me up! When I walked into work this morning, my co-​workers were even swooning over the style and asked for her contact info! I would recommend Blossom to any fabulous woman :)

Every 6months when I drag myself in for a cut, I travel across town to Blossom, here’s why:
PROS:
Friendly staff that remembers my preferences
Great prices ($ 55 for a cut, rollers, and blow dry)
Practice Spanish — they are so nice and have no problem with my broken speech
Appointments are always available
Styling lasts for days! I kept my loose curls for 3 days and it stayed flawless
Perfect wash — multiple conditions and rinses
CONS:
Once I missed a train because I was «trapped» in the rollers chair…
Once in a while their credit card machine is down
TIP: Jocelin is the BEST! Bring $ 75 cash in the event their machine is down

I came here on the recommendation of a friend who works in the neighborhood. Our regular hairdresser is in the Bronx but we get tired of the long waits and decided to give a new place a try for a wash and set. About the wait: It’s absolutely true; you will be out in no time. Ruth did my hair and she did a great job. I need and love a good vigorous wash (I have long, thick relaxed hair) and she did just that. The blow out after she took out my rollers was great as well – that was the selling point for me. I like being smooth and silky so that my style can last for the week; I get my hair done on a weekly basis. While it is a little pricier that my regular place ($ 40 for wash, set and deep conditioner-​not including tip) I will go back. I’ll stick with my regular girl in the Bronx for my relaxer (gotta be selective with who does that) but I will absolutely return for my regular wash and set. One more thing: I prefer Alter Ego products and they don’t use them there so I’ll bring along mine next time. If I ever forgot them, I would still feel comfortable using what they have; my hair looks and smells FANTASTIC! Thank you Ruth!

Not for me. Indeed they are quick, but I’d prefer they take a little more time and give me a style that lasts longer than the one block walk back to my apartment. My hair is thick and tightly curled so it’s not a blowout for the faint of heart and these guys just didn’t stand up to the test. They are so close and reasonably priced — I really wanted to love it.

Great salon for quick and fabulous blowout that doesn’t cost a fortune. Get there before 5 and you’ll be in and out in about an hour. Love this place.
