Soon Beauty Lab

Just moved to the neighborhood. Went for the first time today for a cut with Igor! Love it and will definitely be back.

Had a haircut with Christian. He asked all the right questions and he did an AMAZING job! I never quite like my bangs and I have to say i’m extremely happy with the outcome. Also the staff there was very friendly!

Its standard and professional practice for the servicing agent to communicate concerns before and during the session or not agree to proceed at all.

I had a great appointment with Kyle yesterday, who couldn’t have been sweeter or more talented! I had a single process to cover my grey regrowth and he matched the color perfectly and managed to keep the highlights in. He also gave me a very thorough blowout the resulted in the lazily glamorous waves I’d asked for. Couldn’t have been happier!

I came in for a cut and color with Kyle this week, and I am absolutely blown away by his skills! He was attentive, courteous, polite but not overtly hyper in his mannerisms, and most importantly, I got exactly what I was looking for with my hair. Kyle frequently checked in to make sure I was comfortable in my seat, with the water temperature, and if I needed anything during my stay. He told me that he hasn’t been doing hair for very long, but his skills were that of a seasoned pro. I will definitely be back to see him, and for all of you people looking for a reasonably priced experience in a chill atmosphere, head to Soon and SOON! And don’t forget to ask for Kyle!

Just got my hair dyed by Igor… it looks fabulous! He did an amazing job with the two process makeover-​bleach and two toners to make my hair the perfect shade of grey! My sister is stunned and says I look like a celebrity! Best master hairsylist in NY!

I found Soon Beauty Lab on Unilocal and they were able to accommodate me at the last minute. Kyle did a fantastic job on my haircut and I got compliments for a long time after. Plus he was personable and fun so the whole experience was enjoyable. I would highly recommend Soon Beauty (especially Kyle) to anyone looking for a great cut in a friendly atmosphere.

I would recommend Tia, I’ve been seeing her since she was an apprentice at Soon and loved the colors and cuts she gave me so much I kept coming back! She is a junior stylist now (which is nice as the price is slightly less) and always goes out of her way to make me feel comfortable. It’s always such a great trait in someone working with your hair to get a clear idea of what look you’re going for before starting. She’s also super stylish which makes it easier to trust her with my hair.
This location is really great too. Everyone is always really friendly and inviting and the location is super convenient (just a block from the F/​G trains).

Was so sad when Anna left, but tried Sarah today and she was FABULOUS. Asked so many smart questions before she started cutting to really get a sense of my hair and what I wanted. Gave me a great cut and a gorgeous blow-​out. Feel like a million bucks.

Does anyone know where REBECCA went? I loved how she cut my bangs and no one at Soon will tell me where she is.

Justine did an amazing job! Listened and adjusted to get the look I needed! Plus offered great advice on products!

I decided to take advantage of having a SOON beauty lab across from my apartment and stop in this afternoon. Rebecca did an incredible job not only listening to my thoughts and assessing my hair but then following through on her promise. The style is still long but far lighter and with more movement. I loved the entire experience and almost wish I had an excuse to go again sooner. The staff was friendly, inviting and the complete opposite of what you experience at many salons. The pricing is a bit more than other places in the neighborhood but you get what you pay.

Curiously, I realized that I always, always get my hair *cut* at Soon Beauty MANHATTAN, but I get it *coloured* at THIS location! Anyhow, maybe because I’m more flexible with my cut but slightly paranoid about colour jobs, and my fave girl Megan always makes my locks look amazing here.
The first time I rolled in I was 100% ash blonde all over (solid colour) and I had Megan add some darker tones on top for a balayage effect (see photo, left side!). After hours of running outdoors, I found I was getting blonder … and blonder … aaaand blonder. Quite frankly I was getting a little bored so I just impulsively decided to go big and red again. I showed Megan a few photos and she absolutely NAILED the colour. Just when I thought I couldn’t be happier, she also offered to mix me up a custom batch of colour-​boosting conditioner to take home, since we all know how bottle red likes to wash out quickly.
Knowing me, I’ll be back in a few months asking for blue hair (you think i’m joking? ha!) and I’m sure Megan will nail it once again! Although it’s not the cheapest place around, it is totally worth every dollar spent.

I so love this salon. The atmosphere is warm, inviting, and absolutely not pretentious. I don’t solely see one stylist, so I can attest that all of them are immensely talented artists and equally lovely people. Anna, Megan, and Sarah are all particularly fantastic. The pricing is fair, especially for their amazing in-​between cuts (a super nice perk), and I really appreciate how easy and convenient it is to book appointments online.
I have zero complaints. They don’t push products (but give you solid styling tips). They don’t rush you (but you are in and out in a reasonable amount of time). They offer you realistic hair advice (but help make your ((sometimes foolish)) hair dreams come true to the best of their abilities). As sappy as it sounds, your hair experience truly feels like you are chatting with an old friend. Even though I moved to the UWS from Carroll Gardens over a year ago, I refuse to move salons. See you soon, Soon Beauty Lab. You’re a keeper.

I love the vibe here. The entire staff is fun and friendly, and my stylist Igor did an amazing job on my color.

Igor is amazing. I showed up at the salon with a head of red hair (color-​treated and pretty damaged) wanting to be blonde again. I’d never been to Soon before and randomly selected Igor for last minute appointment. He listened to my requests and came up with a look even better than what I wanted to begin with! I’ll definitely be back to Soon and will stay loyal to Igor — he’s so talented and you’ll be delighted by the results!

Rebecca gave me a beauteous lob last night! It was my first visit to the salon and first encounter with Rebecca, and it was an A+ expreience

I’m super picky and a perfectionist with all things hair. Bruna was amazing! She’s a cool chic and did amazing job with lightening my brunette locks. I’ll be back next week for a haircut by her, the woman knows how to do to it.

I love Anna! I have really fine short hair and she gave it volume and body. It grew out very nicely, too, which is always the test for me. She’s also very sweet and nice and has a great sense of humor. I’ll be back to see her soon.

It’s been a week since my hair color disaster, and I feel terrible all around. Terrible about my hair, yeah, but also terrible about the review itself. It’s all I can think about. I’ve screwed up plenty of things in my life, but I’ve never had to read a public review about it. I’m going to remove the stylist’s name from my review for that reason. It just doesn’t feel fair to me. I’m also removing the photo of my hair.
I’m also upgrading my my review to three stars, because Kyle from Soon was SO kind to leave a message on my voicemail offering me a complementary appointment with one of their master stylists. I really appreciate that. I’m not going to take him up on the offer because I just feel like I need to move on completely (and I’d already booked an appointment at another salon), but the gesture says a lot about their business. I know they care about their customers.
