Supercuts

They don’t honor appointments made through the supercuts website. You have to be physically present there to get on the waiting list.

Does this look even to you? Clearly the hack that provided this cut thought it was perfectly even. By far the worst haircut I’ve ever received.

Marisol is absolutely the best. I’ve been going to her for the past year and just absolutely love her. She gives a beautiful haircut, understands what you want, and makes you feel completely comfortable. I highly recommend her. She’s as amazing as a hairdresser as she is a beautiful person inside.

Horrible customer service, over priced, and no idea how to run a business. Don’t use the app to check in because it means nothing and you will still wait 2 hours!!!

I just moved to NY and I was nervous about finding a place to get my hair cut. I enjoyed my experience here and I felt the person who cut my hair did a good job. I only get a trim, so about an inch. I paid $ 22. I would recommend if you just want something simple.

One of the worst things about moving somewhere new is finding a decent hairdresser that won’t charge you a small fortune. So I thought I would give Supercuts a go because I’m generally not fussy with my hair, it’s just around the corner and I’m on a budget. I should have known better.
I don’t even know what the stylists name was — she was blonde, surly and didn’t even say hello or ask how I was. That’s bare bones politeness in my opinion. I prefer not making small talk when getting a haircut, but general pleasantness should be expected.
Anyway — I would forgive all that if it weren’t for the monstrosity of a haircut this woman bestowed upon me. It’s completely uneven, hacked into on one side so much that it looks like a four year old took to one side of my head with some kitchen scissors. The ends have been chopped so bluntly, it’s hideous. For the style I asked for, she should have done that zig-​zag type technique on the ends. Absolutely no texturing to thin out my thick hair and give it some shape through the bulkier bits… nothing. And the way my hair sits, it literally just looks like she forgot to cut the back bit. I look like I’m growing out an awful bob-​mullet hybrid. The only saving grace is that I can still fit my hair back into a pony tail to hide how awful it looks when it’s out.
I shouldn’t have walked out like that, but I didn’t realise how bad it was until I got home and examined it closely. It’s truly the worst haircut I’ve ever had. And for someone who really isn’t fussy about their hair… that’s saying something. I even cried because it was so damn ugly. I’ve tried a multitude of ways to style it, but it doesn’t matter what I do… it just looks terrible.
I’m going to have to get it fixed by someone else now, so instead of just originally paying someone a decent amount to cut my hair properly, I have now wasted almost $ 30 to have some stink eye hack ruin my hair. I’m also going to have to cut it much shorter than I originally wanted to fix what she’s done. Thanks a lot Supercuts. Never ever ever again. I would probably only recommend this place to someone I hate.

I’m one of those girls that does not care about my hair. It’s long, very fine, I don’t have a lot of it, and pricy haircuts in the past have not made a huge difference in terms of the look/​feel. As long as I get an even haircut with subtle layers, I’m happy. With that said, I really like this place. There are no extra frills unless you want (and pay) for them. Every stylist that has cut my hair here has been pretty good, and none have had an attitude (I’ve been coming here for two years).
Keep in mind that they are not going to be as experienced/​skilled as stylists in more expensive salons, nor should they be since you’re only paying $ 21 for your haircut. This is the place to stop in for a trim or simple cut on your way home, not the place to go from waist length hair to a-​line bob right before an event. If you keep it simple and don’t have unrealistic expectations, you will walk out with a great haircut (and damp hair unless you want to pay extra for a blowout).

I walked in on a Saturday, and got a cut my Maria. $ 20.95 plus tip.
She wet down my hair with a spray bottle instead of washing it (which I appreciated.) I told her exactly what I wanted: a trim that would even out my length somewhat, but not go too short in the back. We talked for about 5 minutes about the length, and before she started cutting, she showed me how long it would be in the back.
Maria was a little sassy. However, I appreciated her lack of pretension. She didn’t chat my ear off, but we did talk intermittently. It was pleasant, and the right amount of professionalism – for a Supercuts. She did talk about all the grey hair I have (a lot for a 23-​year-​old woman) and started talking about coloring options. I didn’t feel pressured at all, but if I was a bit more sensitive about it, I could have been offended.
I’m very pleased with the final result, and while I only asked for something simple, it’s exactly what I asked for. I can’t speak for anyone else, but I’ve had cuts of $ 150+ that really upset me because a stylist took an artistic libert and «tried something out» on my hair.
All in all, I walked in on a whim, and walked out 25 minutes later with exactly what I had wanted for only $ 27.

Whatever you do, do not let Maria cut your hair. She gave me attitude the entire time, even though my cut was nothing fancy — I only came in to trim the ends and touch up the layers. She acted like I was asking for the most elaborate and complicated style she had ever seen and argued with me when I explained that I did not have an angle, I simply was growing out bangs so it appeared to be an angle.
The worst part, however, was when she flat out told me, «well I don’t like it, but if you do, then whatever.» Maybe stylists here should be advised to keep unsolicited advice to themselves, especially when it’s rude. If you’re going to offer criticism, at least a. wait until I ask for your opinion or b. offer a suggestion for what you think, as a stylist, would look better, instead of just telling me that you don’t like my cut… especially considering YOU JUST CUT IT. Also considering I only got a trim, she was essentially insulting my hair in general.
Other than that, be prepared for a long wait, filled with watching the stylists chat about what they’re doing that night, while NO ONE’s hair is being cut.
And beware if you have a cartilage piercing! Mine was not so gently ripped out with a comb. Take it out beforehand (shouldn’t hair stylists know how to handle those?) unless you want an additional hole in your ear.

Worst haircut I had. Yvonne, the stylist, does not care about details. Seems in a rush and not friendly. Her nails are too long and sharp killing my ears. Make sure you pick a better stylist.

Went to try to get a haircut at 9 am when they opened. No one showed up to open the store by 9 30 so I left.

Generally OK service. Staff are efficient and I haven’t had long waits here.

You can bring your own shampoo.

I read the reviews and thought they were kind of silly, complaining about the lack of chatting from the stylists. I guess some people go for that, but if that’s what makes you rate the place poorly, you should have walked into one of those super expensive places that give you wine and a robe with your cut. Maura did a fantastic job on my hair and a wash, cut, and blow dry was just under $ 50 with tax. She was pleasant but didn’t talk much and, personally, I like it that way. LOVED my hair cut! Best one in quite a while!

We have a new standard for professional apathy!
New to the neighborhood and in need of a quick haircut, I went into Supercuts, knowing its reputation for cheap and quick haircuts, yet I came out 12 minutes later trying to figure out what just happened. Quick? Certainly. Cheap? Eh, with tip it was $ 27. As for the quality? If you’re in the mood for a one-​handed, wordless, not-​so-​gentle lawn-​cutting session, by all means — yes!
ATMs have more pride in their craft than the lady who cut my hair, who sleepwalked to another paycheck. I, for one, will not be contributing to any future paychecks.

The lightening process of my hair continues with Fazzy who I met when I walked in one Monday night in May & now I won’t let anyone else touch my hair. She has discussed the bleach and color process with me — especially timing so as not to damage my hair. And she remembers me with each visit too. She told me it would take about 6 months to get my hair to the color I wanted (lightening after jet black for a few years) because I didn’t want to bleach too frequently nor did I want to cut it. Well tht was May and mid-​Sept so ~4.5 months later she things we’re 6 – 8 weeks away. I call that knowing her craft.
Myra and Maura at this location are also wonderful. Supercuts is hit and miss, but this one is a gem.

I hadn’t been to a Supercuts in years, but I just moved in to an apartment building that’s right around the corner, and I figured that I would give it a try. For some reason, whenever I decide that it’s time for a haircut, it’s always an emergency. So I went in at about 8PM, and there was only one hair stylist.
She sat me down, and started cutting my hair. I decided to do something simple and go really short, which was good, because her English was quite bad. I kind of worried that she didn’t understand what I was asking for because the communication was so halting. She would ask me a social question, and then whatever I said, she would reply «good,» which usually indicates a problem in communication.
Fortunately she gave me an uneventful haircut. And it was only decent because I asked for a clipper cut. She did do something strange with the clippers that made the front a bit asymmetrical, but I figure it will grow out in a week or two. That’s the thing about being a guy and getting a clipper cut — pretty much no matter how badly it goes, it will grow out enough to be decent in a week or so. Except for the time when I was at summer camp and let another kid cut my sideburns — that was pretty bad.
So in conclusion, I probably won’t go back any time soon.

The snobs will warn you against it, but you have nothing to fear! I just went for the first time in my life, finally tired of spending 70 bucks on a trim and a blowout. I walked in at 11:40 and was done by 11:55. My stylist was Heidi, who asked me very clearly what I wanted done and checked in with me during the cut to make sure I was happy.
True, you have to ask for a shampoo, which I found very weird.
True, you have to ask for a true blowout, which was more than a little odd.
But my haircut was exactly what I wanted (trim and relayering in the front) and only 22 dollars!
This is not a luxury afternoon at the spa, nor is it a gossipfest with your new best friend the hairstylist. But if you want a serviceable haircut that won’t break the budget or take over your whole day, head to Supercuts!

Desperation and lack of cash can make people do crazy things, such as get their hair cut at a chain salon with hit or miss stylists. Horror stories of friends… as well as my own… make me leary of any place such as a Supercuts.
However, one day, a sign on the corner of 2^nd and 85^th screamed: «$ 15 Hair Cuts! Today Only!» As my increasingly stringy hair flowed down my back and the $ 20 in my pocket was burning a hole, I took a deep breath, reminded my self that hair DOES grow back, and walked in the front door.
About two years ago, I did partonize this particular Supercuts with a less — than — stellar result. My hair was not screwed up, but it was merely cut in about 10 minutes time with no attention paid to the fact that I wanted layers and my bangs trimmed and styled. Nope. There was a group of people behind me also waiting for sub-​par haircuts, so I was cut and let go.
Boooo.
Lucky me, I had the pleasure of having my hair cut by Jack. Jack knows hair. He talked to me about the best ways to style my hair, how the texture and growth of my hair may affect the way it looks, et al. It was like a mini-​science class! The best part? He listened to what I wanted: cut my hair to where my neck and shoulder meet, add a few layers, angle the front slightly, and trim my bangs so they can be swept to the left side of my face.
Bing. Bang. Boom!
Stylists can be hit or miss at a place like Supercuts. This particular store on the Upper East Side has both screwed me over and saved my hair on two seperate occasions.
The only way I’d ever come back here is if I looked in the window and saw Jack working. I know my cheap haircut would be in safe hands.

I have no logical reason why I keep coming back to to this place. It’s expensive, often not clean and the stylists have the personality of a doorknob. I come here quite frequently by choice (again for no logical reason) and it is always the same.
I think I am going to have to start making the conscience effort to go some place else because they truly deserve their rating.
There is a Carousel Cuts down the street that I might try.
