Hayden Kings Beauty

Hayden is amazing! Make sure you take time to be in the salon. What I love about Hayden is that he takes time to get to know the customers and deliver exactly what you ask for.
Definitely he’s my go to guy for hair :)

Hayden is amazing. He made it incredibly easy and hassle-​free to get an appointment, and I absolutely loved the keratin treatment he did on my hair. He is talented and fun to talk to. ¹⁰⁄₁₀ coming again

I cannot believe I waited this long to review Hayden — he is a hair genius!!! I box dyed my hair dark brown for many years and decided I wanted to do blonde balayage. I’ve tried this before with little success, but for some reason kept thinking it would eventually work. Guess what? Hayden made it work. It took us two processes, but he let me know about this in advance and even gave me a small discount.
We somehow got my hair from reddish dark brown to light, cool brown in 1 process. The second time, we got my hair to a beautiful blonde color. I am so, so happy with how it looks, and Hayden made sure that we kept my hair healthy despite the lightener! He’s also super intuitive and can tell if you’re even remotely unsure about something — he goes above and beyond to make sure you love how you look.
One last thing that I really appreciate is the time he takes to explain each step of the process, including what he’s using, why he’s using it, etc. Can’t recommend Hayden enough!

I absolutely love Hayden Kings Beauty. Hayden truly goes above and beyond to ensure not only that your hair looks fantastic, but that it’s exactly what you want. You can easily tell that he cares about his customers and wants to give you a personalized and special experience. He has incredible knowledge about hair and color and is a master in his field. I just moved to the city and was nervous about getting my hair done and he welcomed me with an incredible new look and has followed up to ensure my happiness. I have been to many stylist and never had anyone as great as Hayden. I cannot give enough praise for Hayden Kings Beauty, I highly recommend it.

I went to Hayden for cut and color. it was the first time coloring my hair so I was a little nervous. Well, I shouldn’t have been. Hayden was great! He was professional and so easy to work with. I love my new cut and color!

Highly recommend. Hayden prepares for your visit by getting pictures of your before and ideal hair cut/​color and has ideas for what to do with your hair when you get there. The result was a fabulous color and cut. Whether you know how you want your hair done or you leave it to Hayden you’ll have a fabulous do! The wine wile you get your done is a great perk too

I just recently moved to NYC and was looking for a new salon. Originally I contacted Hayden because I found a groupon for a balayage treatment, but after to speaking to the salon, I ended up just booking an appointment and they honored the groupon price (which was awesome for this broke college student).
Before even going to the salon Hayden had me email him with my hair history and some inspiration pictures. A virtual consultation, I loved that we could be on the same page before stepping a foot into the salon.
Upon arrival I was greeted by Hayden’s wife Lisa, who was super sweet, offering to hang up my coat and giving me a robe to protect my clothes, then showing me to Hayden’s station. After our initial meeting and quick recap of our emails, he began the process of lifting my basically black hair to a beautiful golden balayage. I loved that he took the time to explain every step, and was very personable and easy to talk too. By the end of my appointment i felt like I had been going to Hayden for years.
I highly recommend Hayden King and am sure you will enjoy your experience!

I’ve been remiss in writing this review … I used to go to «star» hairdressers for decades and was never completely thrilled with the results or the service (despite plush salons, exuberant prices and attitude to match). Thankfully, not the case here! Hayden is an extremely talented colorist and stylist. His MO is 100% client satisfaction. He listens carefully to what you are looking for and executes it with perfection. He is very thorough, patient and willing to walk you through the process/​teach some of the styling techniques. Not to mention he is humble and gracious, personable and fun to be around. Simply the best!

Hayden Kings Beauty has given me the best salon experience I’ve ever had! Hayden is a cut and color genius. He took me from an almost black shade of hair to a super light gray/​silver, all the while keeping me informed on what he was doing and how my hair would react to each product. Once we had the color perfect he gave me a fantastic haircut. He listened to the things u liked from multiple different hairstyles and blended them into one cut that was perfect for me.
And Hayden is a really fun, personable guy, so I didn’t even want to look at magazines during the process — the conversation was all I needed.
I’ll be coming back to Hayden for as long as he keeps working. (He’s doing my roots as I write this!) Extremely happy with Hayden’s service in every aspect.

I’ve gotten my hair highlighted and cut by Hayden since I moved to the city three plus years ago. He is AWESOME. The best blonde highlights in New York City and an incredible cut too. He’s nice, listens to you what you want, and then transforms your hair. Worth the money, no questions.

This is long overdue. Overall, Hayden is fantastic! He truly cares about what you want your hair to be. He makes you part of the process, has answers to questions you have, if not he’ll find it for you. He’s a great guy and hair stylist. He truly cares about his craft.
BTW. Hi Hayden and Lisa!

When it comes to cutting, styling and highlighting my hair, I always have extremely high expectations of how I would like for it to turn out. Hayden is the first stylist I’ve come across that I can trust to deliver amazing results every single time. The salon experience is always great, you get offered wine/​water. I also have thick hair so it takes about an hour longer than normal and Hayden is always very gracious and accommodating about this. I cannot recommend him highly enough, he does very good work and he is definitely worth going to.

I waited to write this review so that I could give a true description of the processes that I received.
I used a Groupon for a haircut, balayage, and styling lesson back in late August. Hayden called me to discuss the process and my needs. I mentioned to him that I was also going to get a keratin treatment at a keratin salon. He offered to do the keratin treatment at the same price as the other salon. He explained that it was important that both processes be done by the same person.
The salon experience was wonderful; he offered wine and we had many a pretty interesting conversation. Because I was receiving the keratin treatment which would not allow for a proper styling, he scheduled a separate appointment for the styling lesson… for free.
Not only is Hayden extremely knowledgeable and skilled in his craft, he’s also ridiculously thorough. It’s very apparent that he takes his job seriously and always strives to deliver perfection.
As far as the cut, balayage, and style goes… the BEST. The balayage turned out so fuckin awesome and he even used color on my roots since I loathe my natural hair color. Now that it’s grown out, everything blends perfectly even after FOUR months of growth.
Just as a personal side note, I will not be getting the keratin treatment again. Nothing against Hayden’s application, I just didn’t like the fact that it took the natural curl out of my hair even though he used a particular type that isn’t supposed to relax the hair as much. I’m waaaaay too lazy to straighten my all the time. I will say that it really does cut the drying time dramatically which I didn’t expect to actually be true.
Can’t wait to see you again, Hayden! Thank you for your superior service! Also, you’re really cool. :)

I had a terrible hair color tragedy 10 years ago and promised myself I would never color my hair again. I am that Indian girl with thin hair and damaging it was not an option. A friend of mine had Hayden do her hair and I fell in love with it. After about a month of debating I made my appointment with Hayden for Balayage, He asked me to send him an email with a picture of me and my hair now and what I wanted. Very proactive and dedicated! That was awesome! When i got there we spoke a little on what I wanted, what he felt would look good and then got started. I felt like I was at the salon with a friend. We spoke on so many topics and Hayden always told me exactly what he was doing. The 3 hours I was there flew by. He is so sweet, funny, dedicated and extremely talented. Saying i LOVE my hair is an understatement. He did a fantastic job!

I’m a big fan of Hayden’s. Here’s why:
I’ve never had color in my naturally dark hair before, and I wasn’t sure how to describe what I wanted (a novice, I was).
When my appointment was finished, I felt the color was too light & covered too much of my hair (and I had remorse that I’d ventured into color). But Hayden graciously asked me to take a few days to think over what I wanted, and then we rescheduled for a re-​do (which he did at no additional charge).
Hayden’s goal is that his client is happy. And that earns a huge A+++ from me.
Oh! And did I mention he’s extremely talented? I LOVE the soft color brushes throughout my hair, and I love the cut he gave me. Thanks, Hayden!

I went here hoping for hair I had tried to get with at least 3 other stylists. I will tell you right now, I left happier with my hair than I have ever been, ever. When I explained what I wanted in person, he was able to completely give me what I was looking for. He listened to what I wanted, not what he wanted to do. He’s very friendly, and it’s so nice to have found «my» hair salon after years of looking.

Hayden is by far the best hair stylist and colourist… I came in with a HORRIBLE yellow bleach/​dye job and he fixed it completely and I’ve been getting compliments since. He is so patient and explains everything well so you don’t feel clueless. I can’t wait to go back. Worth everything.

This was the first time I’ve ever changed my hair colour and as a half-​Asian, I was super nervous to do an ombré style. I think it’s hard for Asians to pull of any blonde so I had my doubts.
Soon after I booked my appt, Hayden texted me, asking for pictures of what my hair is now and what I was looking for. I was so shocked that a stylist would be so proactive about a client and it really gave me confidence!
When i went in and explained my vision, Hayden was very honest with me, told me straight up what he was going to do and was fantastic company as he did my hair
I admit I went into shock at first but that’s 100% the fault of 30 years with the same hair colour. A few days later I fell in love with my ombré look and I’m constantly getting compliments! Between the hair cut and the look, I feel brighter and gorgeously modern bohemian. Even my impassive boyfriend was incredibly pleased and complimentary about it
I put my trust in Hayden and it paid off tremendously!

As I moved to NYC from CA I was anxious to find a new hairdresser that gets my long layers and golden highlights! I was so excited when I found Hayden! He knows how to cut long sexy layers and the color!!! He made my brassy tones beautifully caramel !!! He is truly a genius with cut and color and a true artist!
Thanks Hayden!!!

Amazing experience full of knowledge and great results. I have always been very particular about my haircut and style. Hayden introduced himself to me and before he even did anything he asked the right questions and presented a series of different options that he would recommend for me. I trusted my instincts and let him do one of his ideas which was perfect. I was very satisfied with the new look and I will definitely will be coming back here from now on. The level of hospitality was also remarkable

When I moved to the city it took me a really long time to find a stylist I was satisfied with however for the past two years I have been nothing but in love after seeing Hayden. My hair cuts last the longest they’ve ever lasted in life and my color holds up well. Hayden is not afraid to allow me to make major color changes and always gives an honest opinion. His demeanor allows me to feel very comfortable in the chair whether I’m in the mood to chat or just want to sit and relax. I highly recommend his services!

I’ve been seeing Hayden for my color for more than five years. I was fortunate to «get» him at a salon I used to go to for cuts. I’m a brunette, and having to color my premature gray was always a horrible chore I had to take care of regularly, just a thing I was forced to do, until Hayden. When I met Hayden years ago, he quickly diagnosed my needs (low-​maintenance hair color), and gave me beautiful color. I get legions of compliments on my hair (most people don’t realize my hair is colored). After a while, I realized color didn’t have to be a chore, that it could be fun, and this is all because of Hayden. He’s done my hair done with a subtle ombré the last few years, and it’s made me very happy.
Hayden recently struck out on his own, and I couldn’t be happier for him. He is a genuine sweetheart who is passionate about hair and making his clients feel beautiful. His schedule is flexible, and it’s easy to book appointments with him online. Selfishly, I’m glad he’s in the Flatiron/​Union Square area, although I’d follow him to any neighborhood regardless.

I have never ever dyed my hair before and I was nervous as hell. Before booking my appointment, I did hours of research (for both hair styles and hair stylists) and I could not be happier with my decision to have Hayden style my hair.
The thing I like best about Hayden is that he is very attentive and listens to what you want. He is also very knowledgeable and is willing to share his knowledge/​tips with you. Even though I was a hair virgin, I felt very comfortable having him do my hair. He spent a lot of time and energy on mine and was very meticulous and precise (which I loved). He did everything I asked for and made sure I was very happy with the end result.
My hair looks and feels great. This is hands down the best hair cut/​style I’ve ever gotten in my entire life and I am getting compliments left and right. It was definitely money and time well spent.

I have been going to Hayden for years now and cannot say enough good things about his work. I’ve been highlighting my hair since for ages and Hayden does it best — lightening my hair a few shades without making it brassy and while keeping the look very natural.
He also knows a ton about hair health and is always recommending ways to keep my long hair healthy and voluminous. He has great tips for styling and does a great job with blowouts and cuts as well.
I’ve recommended Hayden to friends and family and everyone who has had his services has raved about the results.

I’ve been seeing Hayden for over three years now, as he was recommended to me by my longtime hair stylist who moved across the country. Hayden is a fantastic colorist who knows exactly how to translate what you want to what the end result is. I’m naturally a light brunette and he highlights me to an ashy platinum blonde in a way that no one ever asks me what my «natural» hair color is. As talented as he is, he’s also a really funny and generous person and always takes the time to make sure his clients are happy. Cannot recommend enough.

If you want expertise color and cut go see Hayden. He really knows how to treat his clients and makes you feel at home the minute you arrive.

Hayden is a true professional and I trust him implicitly with my hair. The health of my hair is of utmost importance to me and he is the only colorist who I have done highlights with that are so natural looking and have not compromised the overall texture and health of it. I am actually able to maintain my lighter hair color which is a big change from being a dark brunette most of my life. Hayden always goes out of his way to make sure that I am happy and pleased with my look and he does such amazing work that I always am!

Simply put, Hayden is an amazingly talented stylist and colorist. After a few bad experiences trying to find someone to do my hair in the city, my fiancé suggested I try his stylist, Hayden. I am so glad I did.
I have been going to Hayden for 4 years now and have never left disappointed. He doesn’t cut and color every 3 – 4 months and I’m constantly complimented on my look for weeks following. I trust him implicitly and when he wants to try something new I just let him go for it and I have never regretted it.
In addition to his hair skills Hayden is also a very kind and friendly person who makes you feel comfortable and at ease. I have recommended him to all my friends who are equally satisfied with his services.

Hayden is an expert colorist and stylist — I’ve been his client from the beginning. His work is flawless and he takes special attention and makes my beauty experience perfect. The salon is well equipped and the staff are professional.
