Hair In Motion of New York

I will give this place a 3.5 stars. I found out about this place because of Groupon. I got a massage here. The therapist was professional and I enjoyed the massage. However, I get the impression they weren’t too happy with the fact that I was using a Groupon.

Horrible! and an absolute fraud! Where do i start…
1) I called them before I purchased a groupon for a keratin treatment and asked if the keartin they use will only calm the frizz in my hair, and not straighten it? They said yes! well that was lie number one. Being a native New Yorker I know what good stylist are capable of. I purchased the groupon which was $ 80 for a keratin treatment. When I arrive the lady who’s name was katy or kathy asked me how much I paid for my groupon when I said the price she says «You have to pay an extra $ 40.00 because your hair is longer» umm ok so what the hell did I buy the groupon for if I am being charged regular price? She ignored my comment on that one.
2) I repeated myself over and over that I only wanted a protein treatment to calm my frizz, and the keratin better not flatten my curls. Again she agreed… Lie #2. My natural south american soft curls are now ruined. This kathy lady who was suppose to be a NYC stylist was a very outdated stylist from Puerto Rico trying to get me to purchase highlights. I said numerous times I was not interested. Stylist are supposed to keep up with modern styles and demands, this lady was against anything modern even talked about how she still waxes eyebrows over threading… How 1990’s!
3)Upon checkout and overpaying she tells me I need to make an appointment for a week to come back and wash and blowdry my hair and that will cost me another $ 40. $ 50 if I didnt bring my own shampoo. Ok! who the hell charges $ 10 for shampoo use? wth! needless to say I already knew I wasnt coming back for that especially when I can do a better job myself at home and save $ 40. This place is horrible. They are not New York stylist!
They ruined my hair! so much frizz now even more than before i spent $ 130 for them to mess up my hair. Having to do multiple treatments now to revive my hair.
Stay Away! They just want to rip you off!
I have had several keratin treatments before this one for under $ 100 yes with my longish hair and never did it mess up my curls. They need to send their stylist back to school or NYC so they can learn what real stylist do.
Thank you for ruining my hair! bunch of frauds!

I am not commenting on the hair services, only massage. As the name implies, this is a hair salon that has a room for a massage rather than a spa setting. That would have been fine with me, but that was not the problem.
What an awful experience. I got a babysitter for my toddler and was so excited for my massage with John, it was supposed to be a special treat. Got there about 10 minutes early, signed in with the receptionist who seemed nice and sat down at a table to wait. And wait. And wait. No one offered me a water or acknowledged me sitting there for so long. After 20 minutes past my appointment time I got up and asked the receptionist if John was even there. She said no but he was on his way and she’d call him again. I wonder if I hadn’t asked how long I would have sat there. I sat back down. 5 – 10 or so minutes later she came over and said he wouldn’t be in until much later. Would I like to reschedule? Um NO. I certainly don’t want to get a babysitter again, waste an hour of my time and hope John shows up. If he couldn’t make it, at least call to tell me or the receptionist should have said something when I checked in. Not to mention I didn’t get a massage!

Very nice and clean salon. Everyone is very friendly there. My stylist Katy is really good with Latino hair and hair styles. Try it and you won’t be disappointed!!!

Finally a salon in Orlando where talent meets professionalism. I am hooked! Lesline is awesome and she commands the best from every one working there!

Absolutely wonderful salon! I had a hair emergency while on vacation in Orlando and Lesline (Owner) did an amazing job on my hair!!! Very impressed with the salon atmosphere and décor. Everyone was very friendly and welcoming! The massage during the shampoo was also wonderful! My appointment was at 1 and I was done at 330!!! That was great timing especially for a Friday afternoon. The pricing for a shampoo and trim was priced very well! ! If I lived in Orlando Lesline at Hair in Motion of NY would be my salon of choice!

Lesline and her crew are truly truly talented! By far, the MOST professional
salon I’ve been to — -and I’ve been in salons in Miami, Atlanta, San Francisco, and Birmingham
Prices are truly affordable! People are courteous and professional
