Birds & Fellas

Wonderful East Village Hair Cut

by Stiggly at Citysearch

I love this East Village hair salon, all of the stylists are nice, and actually LISTEN to what you want and give you the hair cut you want (not the one they want to cut). They are very fairly priced, it's a nice atmosphere, and they offer you a drink if you want one (wine, hot toddies!)

My favourite stylist there is Daniel, he has a really calming presence - if you are like me and have hair stylist phobia, go see Daniel.

I had been looking for that special little place where I could become a regular. For years I been getting my haircut at the place, but with a revolving door of stylists. Then a friend working in NYC for the summer mentioned her experience trying out Birds and Fellas. Her glowing recommendation easily convinced me that I might just find that gem of a place I had been seeking. I made an appointment online (how convenient!) and as soon as I walked in, I knew I was going to have a great experience. Then I got the best haircut of my life (my hair has been thanking me all month long). Christine took great care of me - do make an appointment with her if you want to work with someone who listens and knows exactly what she's doing. Plus, we had a great time chatting about great haunts in the East Village and the Lower East Side. Trust me - this place is a true gem and so is Christine!

Fun place where the stylists know what's up

Friendly, fun, knowledgable, affordable... and i love my haircut. They have jenga and a banana phone to entertain you during any downtime. Great promotions... my haircut came with a free cupcake from Butter Lane down the block. YUM. With all the bells and whistles I thought surely they were trying to redeem themselves from another flaw somewhere but I have yet to find it and did I say... I love my haircut??? Thank you Michael and Christine!!!

Very solid nice haircut and experience overall!

Very solid nice haircut and experience overall!

I called in for a last-minute haircut on Monday late-afternoon. They were able to get me in a 7pm (I've called before a few times and they hadn't been able to accomodate me previously). Their online reservation system hasn't worked for at least a month now, which is annoying.

I got a Groupon for about $35 for a wash/cut/blow-dry. They were giving out 20% off coupons for the next appointment, but I didn't get one (presumably bc of my groupon).

I wanted Jamie Lynn due to all the rave reviews, but Jennifer Luna was available. I was a little skeptical at first; she seems young, VERY bubbly, and I just wasn't sure how experienced she was. But I came in at 7pm and watched her finish up her last client, and her hair looked very nice. (by the way, they ran about 20min behind schedule).

Jennifer is super-nice; normally I'm not in the mood to talk to anyone, but she was great and fun to talk to! I was offered a free beverage but I declined (I just wasn't in the mood).

Jennifer washed my hair wonderfully! I have REALLY thick and very long Korean wavy hair that tangles like a rat's nest; she managed my hair easily and painlessly (unlike a lot of other places) and made it a pleasant experience! The scalp massage was awesome too :)

Then for the cut. I normally have a bunch of pictures to show, but I didn't have them on me. I talked her thru what I wanted, and she pretty much nailed it! I really only got a 2-inch trim and kept my hair the same style, but she got it very right. Thank goodness, no razor-useage for my cut!

The blow-out was very straight-forward, pretty painless and rather quick; all-in-all my appointment took about 40min.

The salon is definitely "cozy"; 3 stations, and only 2 were being used. There was no receptionist; just Jamie Lynn and Jennifer to handle everything. But overall business ran smoothly.

I like my haircut very much, so it's good to know I have a place to go. That being said, it also isn't WOWing me (and being nestled in the heart of Alphabet City it ain't the most convenient to get to) so I may venture to try new places before I come back, depending on the deals I find.

I hope this helped!
