Space Salon & Spa

One of NYC's finest salons. I've been meaning to write this for some time, as I know people who are pleased with results are not as likely to write a review as someone who's disappointed. But I tell everyone I know who lives in the New York CIty area, if you need your hair styled, cut, or fixed, go to Space.

I'm not a particularly high-maintenance person, and I don't have a particularly difficult head of hair to work with. I don't color my hair, and I'm open to trying new styles every so often. Yet, for some reason, I'm rarely pleased with the outcome of a haircut that I pay for (meaning, I usually end up making corrections on myself which come out, in my opinion, better than the $60+ haircut I paid for). A friend of mine, also a new mom, had a really simple, stylish do, and I asked her where she went. She directed me to Space, and told me to ask for Edna.

WELL! I DID ask for Edna, and the haircut she gave me was probably the first that I felt like I didn't have to correct. I really liked it, and so did many of my friends.

I think Edna's cut my hair once more since then, but because my ability to schedule a haircut is somewhat spontaneous (due to the demands of husband, toddler and job), and because SHE is in pretty high demand, I've also accepted another stylist in her place on two occasions. The first time I had Stella.

WELL AGAIN! The haircut by Stella was right on par with the one from Edna. Compliments abounded. That was maybe 8 months ago.

Since then I've moved, and I had my hair cut in a high-end salon in my new town. It didn't go so well.

I put up with the new cut for about 2 weeks, and then this past Tuesday, I had to come into the city for an errand. So I took the train out to Ditmars, calling on the way to ask for Edna or Stella. No such luck, they said, but Catherine was available. So I booked her.

WELL! This time, I was aiming for a shorter cut with bangs, to salvage what I thought was damaged by the recent haircut at the new salon. In about 5 minutes of cutting, she completely fixed what the other salon did. So she blew my hair dry, and charged me about $15 less than what I was quoted, which was about $25 less than what I was charged for the botched haircut.

And, not only did friends and coworkers notice, my HUSBAND said, 'you know, that is a really good look on you.' I'm sure some of you can empathize, most of the time these guys don't even notice!

So yes, a big 5 stars each for Edna, Stella, and Catherine, and the rest of the crew at Space Salon! I'm afraid to go anywhere else, having been to them!…

Great facial - thanks Lucy!!!. Went to SPAce for a facial. Lucy made me feel comfortable and I really enjoyed the experience. She is very professional and will surely use her again and again. SPAce is a pleasant place to be. Thank you Lucy!!!

You really know your stuff.…

Im the Pickiest Person Alive. This place is hands down, THE BEST. I have gorgeous thick, long, black hair. And I am very picky about where I go to get a cut. I usually go to Christie's, but they told me highlights were going to be $225.

I usually ignore attitude, price, or atmosphere as long as im happy with my hair. But I wanted to find someone who was excellent with highlights, as this is my first time coloring at all!! Honestly, Space has it all- professional, courteous, great prices, nice atmosphere, & talent. No kidding.

As soon as I walked in, I was greeted by the receptionist then the owner (who took my jacket), helped me look for hair colors on his ipad & sat with me to do it! 2 minutes later my stylist Adela, came by and sed she wud be a few mins behind, but offered my refreshments.

I looked up salons on google, which led me to this salon. Thats the only reason I visited Space- so I figured I should return the favor for other girls/guys scouring the earth to find an amazing stylist. I NEVER leave reviews online, not to mention this is after immediately getting home from the place of service.

Now, my highlights look beautiful and hair is soft, compliments my complexion. As for the haircut- u know how u can tell a good haircut when ur doing hair urself? I came home to blow dry it out ( i opted not to do it there cuz it was already raining) and the layers of my hair were completely even and fell around my face nicely and neatly.

Side note: its my birthday and I couldnt be happier about this gift to myself! Even though my BF paid for it, the wash, cut, blow dry, highlights total was less than $200 after tax and tips! Talk about adding icing on the cake!…

First Visit went by the reviews. Went here because I wanted to change my look and get the ombre hair color. From the reviews I chose to go with Stella who was very nice and seems to know what she's doing. Everyone in the salon was very nice and accomadating. Stella did a good job with my hair I love it ! Not exactly how i pictured it but I still love it ! the only negative was the price it was alittle pricey for me but you get what you pay for, and it was worth the outcome.…
