Ingrids Hair and Nail Salon

The five stars are for ADRIAN. I’ve been going to him since I was a little girl. Never had to go anywhere else until I moved from NY. He is AMAZING with leaving your hair straight when blow drying it, he does a better job with a blow dryer than a regular hair stylist with a straightener.
Beware of the straightener tho, I don’t think he has the hang of it yet and last time he burnt a few of my hairs.
Just talk to him and tell him not too much with the straightener and he will listen.
All you have to do is bring a picture of what you want and he delivers it perfectly.
He’s a bit pricy though (in my opinion anyway– i only got a haircut and he charged 42.00 so maybe it’s just me).
He’s hilarious.

Facial by Nancy was great and relaxing I loved it but because I’m white I think they took advantage since they spoke Spanish and over charged me I’m so upset I won’t be coming back because they dilebertly made it obvious and I’m so mad!!!

I have the most fantastic hairdresser, and make up in all my life! ADRIAN is the best ! Call him driect to make aan appoiment, u goint to be very happy

TERRIBLE PLACE! never again! The environment wont lie is pleasant. Some of the workers are good people! the guy who did my hair Fernando has to be the worst person! He is so rude & disdains other people! He ruined my hair made my ends turn GREEN! The products he uses are crap that it dried out my scalp. i wouldnt recommend it whatsoever. HIGHLY disappointed and NEVER GOING BACK!
Fernando doesnt deserve to be a hairstylist, he wants to do what he wants with my hair. never listens to what i want. Completely terrible!!!

Always a pleasant experience with my stylist — Javier, have been going to him for over 6+ years. Very patient, listens to what I need & I always take his suggestions. Never disappointed me.

I’ve been going to Ingrid’s for about 7 years and I love it. Maybe it’s that my stylist John is such an artist, but I’ve never had a bad experience there. Before Ingrid’s I tried going to about 8 different Manhattan salons for highlights and I was always left dissapointed and they ALWAYS tried to upsell me. With John, I go in and out, leave feeling beautiful and there’s never pressure to buy anything. I’ve even convinced my husband to go there! We both make the trek from the UES to Ingrid’s because seriously, John is so thoughtful talented that we feel nobody even comes close to doing such an amazing job!

This place has great energy! Very friendly and SKILLED professionals.
I was served on time and never felt like I was abandoned by my stylist. Adrian, was a great listener and advisor and that’s what it’s all about! Prices are great for what I had: highlights and cut. Very satisfied and highly recommended.

Nail Salon and Hair salon in Jackson Height. Not bad for my first visit!!! I’m a fan!
This girl blow dryed my hair amAZINGly… I have curly hair and there were no fly– aways after!! I LOVE IT!
Nails: Great Job! as well Clean from what I saw ! Cash only! NO CARD!
I would go again… They made me feel at home giving coffee… sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh !! finally a good spot to get my hair DID!

I had my hair done here a few times while I was visiting a girlfriend in the area. The staff is very friendly and they do a pretty nice job. The prices are reasonable compared to the salon’s i use in the city.

I came here a year ago, and I will never go back. They left me hours with bleach in my hair, and then had the NERVE to say the reason my hair was falling out was because «everyone who goes light loses a lot of hair» Went in at 11 and left at 7… worst birthday ever.

I first learned of Ingrids in Jan 2009 when my sister, mother and godmother were visiting from FL and desperately need to get her hair rehighligted. But she has three distinct colors of highlights in her hair so she can’t go to just anyone. She called her stylist in Miami and she recommended her to Ingrids. The stylist did a fantastic job on her hair! My mother, godmother, and I were so impressed we each got haircuts as well. Everyone was very happy with the results. I’ve been a client of Ingrid’s ever since.
As far as stylist recommendations, I’ve had my hair cut and blowdried by various stylists there and I have always been more than happy with the results. You really can’t go wrong. However, my favorite stylist is Henry. Make an appointment, you wil not be disappointed.

What ever you do, DO NOT ask for Nancy to do you eyebrow wax !!! She does the opposite of what you ask. Plus she receives constant visits of other people while working with you. I told her I don’t like thin eyebrows, and that is exactly what I got. I am not coming back to this place ever again in my life!

OMG this is expensive for what they did to me 45 for a BAD blow dry? No no no, not going back again

To make a long story short, my sister and I had an appointment with Henry for highlights and a cut, I brought in a picture of what I wanted and my sister asked for a trim. He proceeded to highlight and color our hair leaving the chemical on my sister too long, she now has a burned scalp and chunks of her hair have broken off, he took 3 inches off her hair with a razor and my hair did not remotely resemble the picture — I called the salon and was told to come in so it could be fixed. Note: I never like my hair at the salon as the lighting there is awful, hence me leaving. Upon fixing my hair they put a chemical in it that made it turn purple. I was told by Elsie (the owner) — after Henry denied it was purple — that the purple would fade in a few days. At this point, I was furious and asked for my money back and was told, «no way» and that he didn’t care what I looked like because he didn’t know what I wanted, did I mention that I brought in a picture. They wouldn’t even fix my sisters hair and when asked for her money back they snickered and said, «No, we can’t do that.» I walked out of the salon in tears, with purple hair and a bad haircut. Also, they always wash your hair with cold water and when you tell them it’s cold they act surprised.
I have always been satisfied even elated with the outcome of my hair at Ingrid’s and never had a problem with the salon. Elsie knows me very well and refused to completely fix the problem. I am writing this not to start a revolt but to inform those in the past who I recommended the salon (particularly Henry) to. As for me I will not be going back to Ingrid’s, as I was disgusted with the way I was treated.

After losing my hair stylist of 2 years I was in desperate need of a good place to get my hair cut again. I came across Ingrids and the first time I got a very nice guy that cut my hair just ok, I’m very particular about how my hair is cut but describe in detail exactly what I like to not cause any confusion. The second time I went I didn’t get the same stylist and had another cut my hair, this time the cut was perfect and he used a razor to clean the back of my neck and sides how I like, its one of the only reason I go to the Latino salons to get that very clean straight razor cut on the back of my neck, Well on the third visit I requested the same stylist as the second visit, he seemed to give me an attitude from the beginning and I said if he couldn’t fit me in I would come back another day because I didn’t have an appointment, so he cut my hair just ok this time and at the end he didn’t use the straight razor, I asked him if he was and he said he used the electric on my neck so I thought maybe he was in a hurry this time and didn’t feel like using the other razor, I left went home and seen that he didn’t even clean any hair on the back of my neck at all, it looked like crap, so back to the stylist I went and told them, they all seemed like I was crazy for coming back and telling them this and the stylist turned into a little girl clicking his lips and rolling his eyes and said that an electric razor is the same as a straight razor. no miss thing, electric isn’t the same as straight maybe you should go back to school and learn the difference.
Will not be going back and it took me 3 weeks to decide to wright this review. There are too many places to go without attitude and more concern on what the customer wants.

A few months ago, I was desperate for haircut and had noticed this place was always crowded so figured could not be that bad. I wandered in, met Hector and it was love at first cut! For the first time in 8 years in NYC i have regular stylist. His cuts are always great and does great highlights. I went in with long layers and totally trusted him to give me a complete makeover and walked out with one those new bobs that was cut with razor scissors short in back and long in front. Last week while dining with friends, everyone was raving about my hair (including a celebrity stylist!) so if you live in the hood, save yourself the aggravation of going into Manhattan for overpriced cuts and just grab a coffee at Espresso 77 and a cut @ Ingrids

I had been there before about 2 months ago, and Oscar had cut my hair the way I wanted. When I went back, I had found out he was not working there anymore, but decided to let someone else cut it while I was there. It was a big mistake, one of the worst haircuts I have ever had. I had a picture and showed it to the «stylist”(the guy has medium spikey hair with blond highlights and collagen-​injected lips). I told him exactly what I wanted, but he seemed to decide to do it his way. He was cutting it way too short when I just got up and left. As i was leaving, I told them what the problem was, the «stylist» had a «I could care less» attitude. I would give them a zero if i could. This is a WARNING to everyone to stay away from this place if you dont want your hair butchered.

Desperate for a hair cut and unwilling to trek to Manhattan and pay $ 100+, I stopped into this salon for a quick cut. The stylist seemed to be baffled by my short hair preference. «How long have you had your hair short? What HAPPENED?» His comments were slightly annoying, and I quickly realized that I was probably not going to get the haircut of my dreams. He obviously did not have much experience cutting short hair. I instructed him to use the razor scissor, and he agreed. All in all, the haircut wasn’t terrible and the general shape was decent, but I ended up going home and having to fix so many uneven areas where he left little bunches of hair straggling by their lonesome.
At $ 35 (before tip), this haircut will have to do until the mullet begins to poke out it’s ugly head, but I wouldn’t go back. Maybe they do better with long hair.

I was in dire need of a good but affordable pedicure and on my way home yesterday, I decided to stop by Ingrid’s, the «fancy» neighborhood salon. Naturally, I expected a better pedicure, and I was not disappointed. I was so tired, I even overlooked the brand new massage chair I was sitting on. The pedicurist was attentive, gentle and careful. Cuticles can always be tricky and often make me cringe but I didn’t even grimace once this time. She gave me a ticklish but delightful foot massage, and scrubbed and moisturized my feet, which felt so good. I have beautiful baby-​like feet now. Oh and get this, it was cheaper than than it’s neighbor, 37 Nails, which is quite ghetto. Ingrid’s is also a unisex hair salon staffed primarily by gay men, who do the simplest buzz cuts to perms as I witnessed during my pedicure. I might even come back here for my next haircut. Oh, AND they play fantastic music, mainly ‘70s and ‘80s club hits, LOVE IT!
