Curl & Co. Hair Studio, New York NY

I’m writing this review for many reasons, 1 being that the reviews are what got me in Colette’s chair at Curl and Co. So I hope this helps you too!

I’m sitting here so excited after my first visit with Colette! To begin, the salon studio is BEAUTIFUL. Small, but very intimate and cozy. The other hair stylists were so kind and calm; the overall ambiance is that! Very kind, calm, and even the clients were too. The music and smell reminded me of going to the salon as a kid and feeling like you were with your aunties getting your hair done. And this also taught me that you do NOT need to be in a big salon to be at the salon, this was the best salon I’ve been to since childhood!

Now to Colette…I am so deeply grateful for her and this experience. I have been struggling with what to do with my tightly coiled hair, how to care for it, what’s wrong (and right) with it, etc.and in my YEARS of being natural, and going to COUNTLESS hairstylists, I actually learned so much from sitting in her chair just this one time FOR THE FIRST TIME. Past experiences tended to be rushed, low-quality, no education or patience, and lack of connection and honesty on what the stylist can and can not do.

I was wanting to go big or go home and cut A LOT off lol, but she assured me that that was not needed, and cut what was necessary to start my healthy hair journey (thank God cause I would’ve regretted it next week). If there is such thing as a fairy hairy godmother, Colette is that! I can’t wait for my next visit to see the progress of my efforts coupled with her educating me.

Also, if anyone else has struggled with getting quality trims (which are ‘shapings’ at Curl and Co), Colette is THE ONE! I’ve only ever got “trims” that were very much “cut all of it at once and make it “look” even” whereas Colette actually sectioned it, examined EACH section and strand AND my scalp. Oh! And she told me EVERY step she was doing, suggestions, tips, and answered every single question I had.

She really took care of me and really did solidify trust (which is hard with stylists nowadays). And I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and start on this new journey. If you’re looking for a stylist… I think I finally found “my stylist”, and that is UNMATCHED. Love Curl and Co.and can’t wait for my next routine visit!

For reference, I have tightly coiled hair and was experiencing breakage, color damage, and product build-up. I got a shaping and twist out!

5 stars! First of all, the salon is super clean and cute. Colette took very good care of my hair, was very nice, professional and knowledgeable. She took her time looking at my hair and my scalp, gave me options and let me choose what I was comfortable with - as she did some shaping. She explained everything she was doing and gave me very good tips on how to take better care of my hair. I’ll definitely go back!

5 stars hands down! The time and care spent on my hair, understanding my natural coils/hair texture and what products to use, and amazing style at the end of my visit. I’ve never been outside with my natural hair before but after my visit I felt confident enough to rock my natural curls. Definitely recommend because I have just found my go-to salon! Thank you so much for the care and patience, it was an amazing experience!
