Ebony Styles Beauty Salon

First walking into Ebony Styles a little over a year ago, I immediately felt at home. After experiencing a horrific hair experience elsewhere in the city, it was refreshing to walk into a salon where the I was in the hands of a true professional. Merna is an expert in h...air care and styling, and I have never felt better about the way I look. Her staff is friendly, caring and I always have a good time in the salon! If you want a true professional experience, this is the place to be! Read More

My daughter is a student at NYU. She was in the salon today for a relaxer and trim. She called ahead and was told she'd pay $120 for the service - pricey for sure, but she was desperate. Her regular stylist is unavailable. She ended up paying $190! The salon website say...s relaxers start at $105. I am perplexed at why a regular old Mizani relaxer (with no special treatments or rinses) plus trim is $190. Very perplexed indeed. Before cries of damaged hair that doesn't get regular upkeep, as I read in response to another unsatisfied customer, I think the thousands of dollars I have spent on weekly professional services for my daughter do not match with that assessment. Make no mistake, my daughter reports her hair is great and "back to normal." I am just put out by the bait and switch pricing with no communication to the client on the change. The relaxer ended up being $160 (trim was $30). What gives Ebony Styles? What was it about the Mizani relaxer with no other special treatments that warranted a 33 percent on-the-spot price hike from the quoted price? We saw dozens and dozens of stylists in our hometown before we found a truly professional stylist that posted prices and didn't change them whenever she felt like it. Upon my daughter's arrive in NYC for her freshman year we scoured The City to find a reputable stylist that did a quality job at a fair price - or at least an agreed upon price. What a disappointment that this practice still goes on. Read More

I don't think I believe in these Citysearch reviews anymore. I went to this salon for a wash, condition and cut by the owner, Merna and paid $148 (and that's with a discount)!! For this price, I would have expected more, maybe a consultation before the service, maybe... recommendations on products to use on my own. Also I would have expected my hair to be smooth, silky and bouncy, especially after a $30 deep conditioner. Instead it was dry and and kind of lifeless. As for the cut, well in fact it was some weird trim and I was charged $60 for it (when on the phone I was told it would be $30)! I don't get the impression the owner knew what she was doing...the way she was moving my head...it was just whatever.. my cut just looks weird and choppy, not professional. I think I was ripped off big time! I think all these reviews are a bit exaggerated -- in fact I think the salon owners are the major contributors. Don't be scammed like me. Read More

After a six weeks of the protein treatments my hair is growing and looking healthy again. I came to ebony styles because my hair started getting really thin and damaged after nearly a year with the inexpensive dominican stylist that I was going to every week. I thoug...ht I was developing alopecia, but it turns out my thinning hair was the result of poor hairstyling and haircare. I am just really glad I caught it in time and now I have my hair back. If you like healthy and beautiful hair and want to keep it for a long time then I recommend the stylist and ebony styles. Read More

I have unruly, dry, mixed curly hair and being from an array of ethnicities, I found it very hard to maintain my hair at almost any salon in the city. I had overtressed and over worked my hair with flat irons and relaxers until I finally decided to chop it off myself. W...hat a mistake. I went to Ebony Styles and received full princess treatment. They fixed my cut and gave me a Moroccan Oil intense hydrating mask which restored the moisture and softness of my hair. My hair has been more manageable ever since. Read More
