Don't be fooled by the name

by miqui

Decided to support a neighborhood salon so I made an appointment. I walked in with great, full curly locks and walked out with skinny, frizzy, spirals. I thought that maybe it was the product that was used but after I washed and styled my hair with my products, I was still very upset with my cut. I called to complain and was told to come in. I was told that maybe it was that she brushed my hair. I said that I thought it was the 'thinning' that was done. I was then told to give it two weeks, that it would settle in. Well, it's been two weeks, and yes it settled in but not in a good way. It looks like I have a box on my head. I am now playing a waiting game for my hair to grow in so I can get it fixed. I will go back to Ouidad, even though they did a little thinning, I didn't end up with skinny hair. To Ringlet's credit, they did offer to give me my money back, but that would not have fixed my hair. The stylist who did my hair has curly hair, but she just didn't do a good job with my curly hair. I am very disappointed.

03.15 - 4 weeks later and I'm hating my hair more than ever. I have a wedding to go to in May and I'm beginning to think I'm going to just have to cut it very short for it to look good. This has been the worst hair cut experience I have ever had!!!

• Pros: Nice Atmosphere
• Cons: Limited products for curly hair

I love Ringlet!

by HelenLucyNY

I moved to NY two and half years ago and finding a hairdresser was high on my list of priorities, I had considered traveling back to the UK every few months to go to my hairdresser..... I met Cori through a friend and have been so happy with my hair color and cut. I love the salon, it is relaxed and personal..... Cori will order me take out when I arrive on an empty stomach. I have recommended 5 friends and all have been delighted with there new hair do......... I almost do not want to let the secret out it is such a find. If Cori is booked up Mario and Alexandra are excellent too - the beauty of a small salon they are all good!!!

Best Haircut Ever!

by gravelgirty

I've been going to Ringlet for 10 years now. Even when I moved up to Inwood, I trekked down there to get my hair done! Cori is the only hairstylist who has ever listened to me and has been able to work with my hair texture, features and the fact that I am extremely lazy and want to just wash it and go. Not only can I do that, but my hair looks great all the time. And I love when I get some lap time with Simba, Cori's pup and Ringlet's mascot. Go, Simba!

• Pros: Great haircut, great staff, great space and music.
• Cons: Not enough time with Simba, who won't come out in the rain!

Best Hair Salon in East Village

by cwinkie

Ringlet is GREAT!! Mario, Cori & Alexandra have an awesome sense of what would look great on you! I come from NJ to get my hair done & everyone compliments me. I love the color & cut everytime I leave... wouldn't go anywhere else! The salon is a friendly, upbeat place to go. Trust me, you will LOVE what they can do for you!

Best salon in NYC

by mizcoop

I've been going to Ringlet for years. Cori is the best, she has seen me through many different cuts and colors and all of them have looked amazing. The salon is a fun, friendly place and the staff are fantastic. The one time I went somewhere else, I was extremely disappointed. I will never make that mistake again! I've referred a lot of people to Ringlet, and will continue to do so (even complete strangers who stop me on the street to compliment my highlights).

• Pros: Amazing cuts and colors, friendly atmosphere
• Cons: Evening and Saturday appts go fast, so book early
