Hair Art NYC

Appointments mean nothing here. I’ve made appointments and the stylist shows 1 – 2 hours later! This has happened on 2 occasions. The stylist here are talented and do some of the best work. However, I can’t get past the poor management. Only go here if you personally know the stylist and can reach her on her cell.

If you’re looking for a great professional salon to get you’re hair done, this is it. I went there for the first time, the staff was very nice. My hair was done in a timely fashion and was done absolutely gorgeous! You can choose anyone there to style your hair, all the girls there can do their thing with them fantastic styles, but my new stylist is sparkle. She has a great personality, and offer great suggestions about managing your hair. Go check it out, you won’t go wrong. I highly recommend them.

Simone is one of the best stylist I know. I told her to do whatever she wanted and she created a masterpiece! Love her and she has a good staff. Must check her out.

VERY SATISFIED — I’ve been coming here for over a year now and I’m very pleased. Simone is a master at making and styling full units w/​closure @ an affordable price (I’m wearing one in my profile pic. She is also conveniently available 2 Sundays out the month. I have and will continue to recommend people to Simone and other stylists @ the Wink. :)

Simone is amazing!!! She did my cut and I absolutely loved it. The staff is also super friendly. They can get really busy at times but man they can do some hair. lol. They do everything from weave, cuts, perms and natural hair. I haven’t been disappointed yet in a style.

My favorite place to get sew ins, IF it’s by summer! She gave me the best sew in weave I’ve ever gotten in my life and I’ve paid up to $ 600 for weaves at different places, and left less satisfied than when summer at Queen of the Wink did my hair

The first time I went it was a good experience but the second time I asked for more of a natural style but they treated my hair as if they didn’t know how to work my hair. I sat under the dryer for 3hrs and my hair still wasn’t dry. I left with the bottom of my hair damp.

Just by luck I found this salon. Sara (first station as u come in on ur right) was absolutely marvelous! She was professional honest and straight up about my color. Sara explained what I could and could not achieve from my color session .She was right! I am so happy with my color and can’t wait to move on to the next step in color. Simone (first chair on the left) is a master of the cut and curl, she cut and curled and styled my hair EXACTLY AS I WANTED IT! And that is a real shock. I usually go home and redo it, not this time! I could go on and on about this place, but the bottom line is if u want ur hair done right come to the QUEEN OF THE WINK! AND ASK FOR SARA AND SIMONE!!!

Omg. Another amazing style, from the amazing and talented Simone West. I showed up last minute (today the day before Easter) with no appointment. My hair was a complete mess. (Like break a comb, cut it out mess)
Deirdre was able to relax my super course hair. I mean I needed it done bad. I have been neglecting my hair for almost a year do to work. It was a mess. Then the transformation happen. Just like that she created magic. I don’t get my hair done often, but when I do. Simone west or nothing. Thanks Simone.

Great first experience at this salon. I have been searching high and low for a salon that won’t tell me I need to get a perm or charge me an arm and a leg… I think I’ve found the place. Deidre was very sweet and made sure I left with my hair exactly how I wanted it styled. Will definitely be going again.

I’ve been coming here for the past few years and I have never had a bad experience … Simone is awesome as well as the Queen Of The Wink staff … They’re the best!

I love this place. After breaking up with my last stylist due to lack of professionalism, I found this place on Unilocal.I decided to give this place a shot. I wanted a nice short haircut so since the previous ladies recommended Simone, I booked an appt with her. She is the best she was very sweet and she took her time and she also recommended I get some color to spice up my new haircut. I like how they didn’t keep me waiting. My appt was 3pm and I arrived 15 minutes earlier, Diedre started relaxing my hair and Simone finished my cut. I’m so happy I found a new stylist and this salon isn’t too far from my house.

As someone who’s extremely selective about who puts their hands in my hair, Queen of the Wink exceeded my expectations of what I imagined them to be. I passed this salon for an entire year before making an appointment, call it extreme procrastination.
I made my appointment on the same day, I was anticipating waiting forever to be seen because it was a Saturday. Upon walking in, however, I found one girl waiting and a couple girls in stylist chairs. Now to the good part, my stylist. If you take nothing else from the next paragraph, make an appointment with Deidre.
So, I’m a natural girl. The last time my hair had heavy heat was in 2011. Deidre made sure to take care of my hair and ensure I was comfortable with her. I was extremely pleased with my hair after Deidre was finished, kinda wish I had taken photos right after :(
Queen of the Wink is a very warm and welcoming environment. The stylists are lovely women, there’s lots of laughter, and you’ll likely be paying the same amount you’d pay if you were to go to a Dominican salon. Except these girls won’t burn your scalp and tell you how bad you need a perm. No shade.
Get your life. Go to this salon. The End.

First day here & I love it! If you want to go to a salon that doesn’t sugar coat how your hair REALLY is perfect place. Simone was my stylist & I loved her. My hair was so terribly damaged from keratin, bleach, & texturizing. I walked in, talked to Simone for a bit & she said «I’m going to help you but you have to promise me you’re not going to color or do anything else to your hair.» Then she had someone shampoo and deep condition it. I initially came in wanting the Rihanna– Take A Bow look but my hair wasn’t long enough it was far too damaged so Simone suggested a different cut, showed me a picture and I was skeptical at first but then I was like «Let’s do it». I was so satisfied with my cut and the amazing advice she gave me for my hair. I know where I’m going to be every week for now on!

This is my second review. Ms. Sparkle’s ability to work with natural hair textures is such a relief when other stylist think Hair mouse to hold curls is acceptable. She color corrected my hair to this lovely golden blonde and deep blue/​black with a two stand twist set that I’ll extend into an afro later. Must also acknowledge Sarah’s kindness in assisting to help when an unforseen problem arose on the date of my original appointment. Thank you ladies

So I thought the ladies here were incredibly sweet. Everyone was really friendly. But I was really dissatisfied with the service.
I came in for my «big chop» The stylist that cut my hair was really nice but didn’t give it any kind of shape what so ever and the color i asked for wasn’t done. I left with a much darker color with a patch of hair that was lighter than the rest in the back. I was really upset with how it turned out so I ended up going to another salon right away to have it fixed. To add to the disappointment, it came up to $ 144. Big price tag for a job poorly executed.
I think more time should’ve been spent inquiring about what I wanted and and not just a brief glance at the photo I brought in.
They do weaves well here but I wouldn’t recommend it for styling natural hair. Don’t think I’ll return though.

I absolutely LOOOOVE going to Queen of the Wink Hair Salon NYC ;)
ALL of the stylist are AMAZING (I’m very particular with my hairs– so I wouldn’t recommend a place that wasn’t on point !).
The Wink is a place to go to beautify not only your outside but inside as well.
You will learn about how to properly care for your hair while expanding your mind with great conversation and lots of witty humor– a moment is never dull there!
Not only do I love the great service, awesome products used, but most of of all I love the hard work ethic each stylist possess– it truly shows in their work.
GO… or better yet RUN to the Wink– you won’t be sorry;)

Wanted this salon to work. REALLY REALLY did. Called in the AM, made an appointment for 1pm. Showed up 15 min early, was told my stylist had just walked in. No prob, I was early anyways. 1:40pm rolls around, still waiting. Why make an appointment? Waste of my time. Don’t waste yours.

This is my second time coming to Queen of the wink salone and I truly love the place, my stylist Simone always do a fantastic job. I’m always seen within 5 minutes of arrival I’m yet to be disappointed.

I first heard about this salon from Unilocal + some googling… and its right around the corner so i figured hey why not give it a try!
i first went to cut my hair off… yes go short… i dunno why when women go through things its connected to my hair… well I do, but i needed a big chop… so i saw Simone… i felt comfortable as soon as I walked in… greeted with smiles and a warm welcome is a big thing for me…
i showed her a picture and that was all i needed to do… she went to work…
i came back and Simone suggested to cut a lil shorter… and loved it again…
a couple weeks later i got my sister in her chair for a full head weave for her birthday… and she then brought her daughter for the same…
After seeing my sister & nieces weave… i missed mine and came back for one as well for my birthday… lol…
I decided to try a closure to give my hair a much needed rest and i LOVED it…
im sold and probably will go nowhere else as long as queen of the wink is around the corner lol…
P. S. I have been to some salons where I just cant stand the chat between the stylists… either its in another language or its shouting over your head and just flat out rude… here you feel at home and i often find myself in conversation with the girls that leaves me in tears from laughter…
P. S.P.S. Simone is an AMAZING stylist but they all are
I’ve sat in the chair and watched Summer and Sparkle do gorgeous weaves and natural hairstyles
Tanazsha is a sweetheart who can also do a great cut and her weaving skills are great!
Deidre will have you leaving looking like a rockstar (yes in an amazing way)
Sarah if she’s not making u fall out of your chair from laughing so hard… she’s coloring the hell outta some hair!
and Leesa… you need your face beat… go to her!
