Shear D’art Salon

Got a blowout here and it was just what I wanted. I showed my guy a photo, and voila — fast and perfect, for $ 35.

After having a very bad experience up the street at Vanilla Hair Spa, I’ve been reluctant to get my hair cut again. My roommate recommended this place to me, so I figured I’d give it a shot. I walked in after work one day and was immediately taken by Karen. I told her that I wanted to keep my hair on the longer side, and was a little nervous that it would come out too short. She was great– she walked me through everything she was doing, and made sure to cut little by little off so I could give her input on whether or not it was too short/​too long… She also offered her own suggestions on what she thought would look good (a few long layers, some short layers in front…). Although I was just a walk-​in, and she had another customer waiting after me, she took her time, and never rushed me. I will definitely be back here again.

I found about Shear D’Art through a friend of a friend. Trying a new salon can be daunting as most NY salons I had tried were full of pretension. Not here. The whole staff from receptionist to shampooist is so warm. All of them understand the meaning of good service.
My stylist, Tiffany, is MAGIC. Mentioning her makes me fearful word will get out and I will have a tough time getting an appointment. She’s timely, friendly and laid back. When I’m low on funds, Tiffany never makes me feel bad about not wanting a blow out. Most importantly, she just cuts hair really well. I will follow her where ever she goes… but I really hope she stays here as the whole place is adorable.
*Note the ONLY complaint is their lack of a waiting area. But luckily I’ve never had to wait.

For the UES, there are a ton of other hair places to choose from, but I’ll only go to Shear Dart from now on. The salon was clean and the people were friendly, plus my haircut was only $ 45 (cut and blowdry).
My stylist at Shear Dart took her time to ask me about what I wanted and didn’t try to sell me any products (often the case at other salons). I’ve tried other local salons such as Hair Farfalle and felt very rushed from the minute I walked in. Overall, I am very happy with the service I received and hope that you will be too.
