Aha Salon

I just posted a pic of my daughter’s hair on Unilocal as evidence of a crappy job the so called stylist did. My daughter went for color and highlights. The owner and the stylist (daughter, I think) quoted a price $ 125 if I’m not mistaken. The hair color came out too light and proceeded to explained that if she does the highlight it will be close to blond color. Then I noticed the color on top of her hair did not match the rest (see the pic posted in their website).I pointed this out. Lo, and behold she only colored the roots! I said that granted she did the roots its quite evident that the coloring was not «blended» down to the rest of the hair and she said it looks ok, it matches, then looked annoyed and started to talk to the owner (her mom, I think) in their language like I don’t know what I’m talking about. Then she said we should have informed her in the very beginning that my daughter wants a full color. I’m not a beauty expert but common sense will tell you that when you do highlights, you color the entire hair for uniformity then apply the highlights, right? Ended up paying $ 50 and went home with an uneven hair color. Will buy a $ 7 Revlon hair color at CVS to redo hair. Wasted money, wasted time!!!

so, I would not write a review so positive because I want to keep this gem to myself. someone gave a bad review so here we go. for the money, the value and personality of these amazing women can’t be beat. it’s not friggen Aveda, so get it «straight» ~ they give the best color and straightening. you are in and out. they are gems and super sweet, that do a great job. they care about your hair and tell you if you should or NOT do a treatment. that is cool beyond words. I have been going for YEARS now and have never been happier.

When the customer leaves the salon unhappy, there’s a problem. This place was recommended by my room mate because she had a pleasant experience. I came to get a trim. I have a very long straight hair and I just needed a few inches trim. I suggested to the stylist if I could style my bangs a little bit and she just weakly responded, ‘no just keep them straight, you have little bangs anyway’. Strike one. Just like Elsa, I let it go. Then when she was done cutting my hair she took off the towel or that cover thingy (with lots of hair from previous customers that got stuck on my shirt) and said, ‘Just $ 15 because there was no styling needed’ and ‘no need to blow dry it’s just the same when it dries up!’ I was like wtf, ‘this is the only salon that blow drying is optional or worst the stylist makes a decision for you! Another kind stylist came to me and offered to blow dry my hair but gawd I already stood up and picked up my things. I was hoping to leave the place happy and feel good about myself even if I only got a freakin trim. Blow drying makes HUGE difference. A little effort and a little care for my hair. I AM NOT COMING BACK. Not recommending either.

They are the best when it comes to hair straightening and hair cut. I’ve been going back and fort here for like 5yrs now. I’ve been to a lot of different Salons but this one offers the best services. The place is packed on the weekends so I suggest you go during the week.

Aha Salon in Woodside is by far one of the best salons in Queens I have been to. I was shopping around places to take my mom to get her hair done for Mother’s Day and happen to run into this place on 69^th street in the Woodside area of Queens. when I entered the Salon they were very courteous and helpful in assisting me with my inquiry in bringing my mom in for her hair-​do. I asked about their Japanese Hair straightening and was satisfied with their price. I brought my mom in and what else can I say but she was happy with her hair do. I almost feel sorry for her original hair stylist lol! Since she mentioned she will definitely continue going to Aha salon for her next hair-​do.
