Giorgio’s

So I was having a bad day today. what’s better than getting a little love at the salon… I must admit, I don’t usually walk into a new salon and get a haircut but that’s what I did today. Tatiana was wonderful! She color my roots and gave me a great cut. I was taken back how good she is. The service was overall great. Everyone was so sweet and attentive. I felt right at home. Thank you Tatiana !

Elena is the best colorist in Kew! The only hairdresser I will go to after having the worst experience with another hairdresser (different salon). I’ve had her color my hair before, but because it is the holiday season and I always work I just didn’t get to her. I decided to go to another salon which I will also write a review on. Anyway if you want an awesome bayalage or any color for that matter she is your girl!

I did a walk-​in… Everyone was willing and able to help and they did everything that I asked for. Very kind people and I enjoyed my experience :)

SO I went here once because I needed my hair done for an occasion and I didn’t have time to go to my regular place and get ready. It was a tight schedule for that day. This is local and I always saw it was busy so I thought I ought to give it a try. I had long and think hair at the time so I went in few days earlier to get a price consultation and make an appointment. We had agreed on $ 45 for simple braided crown dropping to curls. And I was apparently set up with the braids expert. When I got there my stylist wasn’t even ready for me, then after waiting, I sat down. I brought pictures to show exactly what I wanted. She could barely understand what a waterfall braid was so she just decided to do a regular 3 stranded braid across. Even with that she somehow messed up and gave me bald spots. I showed her the picture again and she claimed that my hair was too thin so what i wanted wasn’t possible. My whole life I’ve been told that I have beautiful think hair so I knew she just didn’t know what she was doing. I was in such a rush I just decided to leave before she messed up. Oh and Obviously she tried to charge me over $ 50. I went back home, and saw the whole thing for myself in the mirror. It was horrible. lie random were just all over the place. I had to go back. I went back and the stylist was hiding behind a pole from embarrassment, I didn’t have to say much before they begged me to take a refund and not a make a big deal in front of other costumers.
I’m giving 2 and not 1 stars because there was a stylist nice enough to sit me down and attempt to fix so I don’t look completely pathetic when I go out.

A few weeks ago, I would have given it 5 stars. I have been coming for about 4 years and have always been extremely happy– color, cut, highlights, all have been great and the price is fantastic for the level of work– hair cuts are $ 35, blowouts around $ 30, all reasonable. Until last time.
I came in for a trim, and my stylist CHOPPED all of my hair off. She has been working with me the entire time I have used Giorgios, so all 4 years I have only used her, so she knows how hard it is for me to grow my hair out, and knows our trims are about a half inch to an inch of hair total. This time? She took over 6 inches off, added layers and angles we did NOT agree on, and thinned out my already thin hair to «give it volume». None of this was with my consent– we agreed to a trim only! A trim! No shaping was every talked about! This is the worst my hair has looked in years. She completely undid 8 YEARS of growing out my hair in 8 minutes, and since my hair doesn’t grow it will take years to fix this. Not an exaggeration– It took 8 years to grow it from shoulder to breast length (yes, I have tried every hair and nail supplement and scalp stimulator on the market, no, none of it works for me)
I left the salon in shock and didn’t say anything and went home, where the cut looked worse and worse as the humidity undid the blowout and the natural waves returned. I finally got over the shock called to complain, and when the stylist called me back she said «well your hair needed it». We agreed on a half inch trim! Not a 6 inch chop with angles and layers and thinning because she felt like it. Originally the manager offered to have her reshape the cut, but as she already removed most of my hair, this wasn’t a particularly helpful option and I declined his «solution». I will speak to the manager again this week and update my review based on how they handle this situation.
Ladies, if you value a stylist who will actually listen to you and give you what you ask for, AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS!!! I wish I had. Now I am tasked with growing out a truly awful, thin, terrible cut that doesn’t look good no matter how I style it. AVOID AVOID AVOID.

I had an awful experience here. Was here once before and they did an adequate job (nothing special) so I came back. When I got there, I was shuffled around between 3 different hair dressers. I came in for a routine highlight for half a head and the first hairdresser was in a complete rush and left right after she finished putting the foils in. I sat in a chair with foils in my hair until someone noticed and came over. She said she would take care of me and then had another client come in who took precedence. I continued to sit with chemicals and foils in my hair with no one noticing until I had to say something. When they rinsed my hair, the color was WAY too light and looked awful with my original hair color. Also, half the foils didn’t even reach my scalp so there is a huge gap between my scalp and where the highlight starts. It looks ridiculous. I have shoulder length hair and a half a head (for terrible service) cost over $ 85. Will not be returning here. They do not care about their customers.

I’ve only ever come here to tan — in the ONE standup machine that they have (that was probably purchased in the late 90’s) — and I would NEVER give this place the trust to actually work on my hair and/​or nails. Every single time I’ve gone in, there’s either something wrong with the machine, the staff can’t figure out which end is up, I’ve been ignored and hardly acknowledged… or I’ve been smothered with attention to the point that I can’t get out fast enough just to get some air.
The only reason it gets a second star was because I was fortunate enough to make the bad decision of going in «just one more time» on a day that the owner was there. I took advantage of this and told him about a horrible experience that I had with one of the employees in regards to the tanning… um…machine. So he granted me a few free tans that I could use whenever I felt fit-​no expiration. That’s fabulous, but it’s not like the bed is good enough to actually have gotten my money’s worth anyway.
Highly recommended — that you avoid at all costs.

I’m all about customer service. I don’t care how good a product is, customer service can make or break you. and the few times I have come here, I have had exceptional customer service. I have had some mani’s and Pedi’s done here and I really cannot complain. My ONLY complaint which would be my only complaint anywhere, is, while getting mani/​pedi services done, I do NOT want to hear other clients yapping away on their phones or playing noisy video games. The experience is supposed to be tranquil. Other than that, I recommend this place.

Worst gel manicure I’ve ever received. If I had time I would go back and make them give me my money back.

Had the Keratin treatment /​Brazilian Blowout & LOVE IT! My hair took to it immediately. Thankfully, I don’t need it to get it done again & it’s been over a year. My hair looks & feels amazing! Marianna did the process on my hair and the price was reasonable! :-)

Bad experience with stylist. There’s only one I will go to from now on if I go back.

I was a regular (got a blow out once or twice a week) at Giorgios for many years until I moved to Long Island two years ago. Although I moved thirty miles away I would still make the trek to queens to get my hair cut and colored by Nancy. So you can imagine my dismay when I made my quarterly trip to the salon last November and was told that Nancy no longer worked there. The man who worked on the front desk assured me that they have stylists as good, if not better than Nancy, sadly that was far from the truth. Perhaps I shouldn’t be so harsh, the stylist did an adequate job, but she was no Nancy. On the bright side, as I was walking to the bus stop I stumbled upon Nancy’s new digs «Selfie Style» right next to ⁷⁄₁₁ on Lefferts Blvd. All is well again!

I am still looking for Shanti .the perfect stylist they had and let go ! she was the best one that ever cut my hair and I unfortunately lost her number along with my old blackberry. Other than that my overall experience there isn’t so bad .The place is very nice and clean .the service is okay .the problem is there is no precision; I don’t get the same result each time I go .One time they are good , the next time they are not good .I have no idea it depends on what .So they are not my number one choice but I go there when I have to as i live close by .
I tried hair cuts, manicure –pedicure and threading.
but for the record Marguerite who did my hair last time was very good, gave me a trendy haircut.

Came with 2 other bridesmaids to get our hair done. They were nice enough to open at 9 on Sunday. Had never been to Giorgios before but my friend lives in Kew Gardens and picked it. Ruth did our hair and she did such a great job. She was super sweet and did exactly what I asked her while also offering suggestions to make our hair look even prettier. The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is because they had Ruth do my hair as well as another bridesmaid instead of giving us each a stylist. Also we were there at 9 and didn’t start until 10. But the wait was worth it.

Giorgio’s is excellent with hair. I’ve had my hair cut here, washed here, and blown out/​straightened here by different stylists and I’ve been happy every time. I was hoping to go in today but they were closed.
What Giorgio’s is lukewarm on though, is eyebrows. I’ve had mixed experiences here for the handful of times that I couldn’t make it to the woman that’s been doing my eyebrows for ten years in my old neighborhood. One woman actually misshaped my eyebrows (and everytime I mention this I feel a tinge of anger coming up…).

Just had a simple polish change and not only did she manage to cut me but she did a terrible job.

Went in for a manicure and haircut a few days ago. Genysis (sp?) did an amazing job on my nails and my eyebrows and she was an absolute pleasure to chat with. Natalie also did a great job on my hair, she cut it just as I asked and styled it to perfection. Will definitely be back soon!

I’ve been going to Giorgio’s for almost 10 years. It’s conveniently located for me so it’s easy to get to. I made the rounds of hairdressers until I got to Marguerite — and I’ve been with her for at least 7 or 8 years. She’s terrific! She always knows how to cut my hair so it looks good. I’ve never been disappointed. Typically, I go for a cut, sometimes Marguerite will style my hair, but I’ve never had coloring or anything, so I can’t say even if the price is right or not. Overall, I’d recommend this place — and see Marguerite!

I have been coming here for at least 10 years. Nancy is awesome. She is an amazing hairstylist. I completely and 150% trust her. I have came up to her with ideas and she flat out told me it won’t work for me. About 5 years ago I moved from Kew Gardens to Long Island and I would not go anywhere else.
I am not the only one in my family who comes here. My sister has been coming here for at least 4 years and so does my mom. My sister’s stylist is Margaritta and my mom’s is Nina. Both are amazing.
This September my sister got married and the bridal party came here to get our hair and make up done. They did an amazing job. And they charged us a very good price (all other places wanted nearly double what we paid here). They opened early for us and all of our hair and make up lasted an entire day.
Love this place. Never going anywhere else!

I’ve been coming to Giorgio’s for the past three years and highly recommend Ruby to anyone looking for a new style or haircut in the area.
Ruby is exceptional, attentive, and extremely talented. I’ve recommended her to all of my friends in Queens, and have convinced both my mother and boyfriend to try her, who both agree they’d like to start seeing her regularly.
As a salon, the receptionist is fantastic. She knows my voice when I call (even when I go four months between haircuts!), and always strives to make me feel welcome.
At times the music can get a little loud– it’s great to see the staff having fun, but it can dampen the relaxation one might associate with a day at the salon.
