Bianchi Salon

I had my hair cut with Chi at a previous salon he worked at about a year ago and was ecstatic with the amazing lob he gave me. I’ve always had trouble trusting people with my hair in the past, but Chi’s confidence, attention to detail, and ability to listen to what I wanted really sold me. So naturally, when I decided it was time to get my hair colored for the first time in years I had to hunt him down and make an appointment at his new salon. He was able to give me a beautiful natural full head balayage that I’m in love with! His passion for his job and his clients is clear from the minute you walk in and I would highly recommend this salon to anyone looking to up their hair game!

I went to Bianchi at the recommendation of a friend. I naturally havee light brown hair, but dye it darker because I (used to) be on the tanner side. But I decided to change things up and try to go lighter. Omg OMG I LOVE MY HAIR! I went with Sophiya and I’m telling you she’s the best. I was scared of all my hair being chopped off (I want a trim = 5 inch haircut), but she was very vocal about not wanting me to be unhappy with the cut. She did an amazing job with the coloring and styling as well. Seriously, i love her and the salon. I will continue using her specifically for EVERYTHING! I have found my new stylist:)

I am extremely happy with my new hair color. I have been holding out for years on dying my hair because I honestly don’t trust anyone with my virgin hair. I found Bianca on social media and fell in love with her work. She is a delight in person and made me feel comfortable and relaxed. I did not feel pressured into getting a color I did not want and she explained every step of the process. Bianca is knowledgeable, friendly and honest. I already told all my friends about her ;) Thanks again!

I had an appointment with Sofiya and she was great! I had a full head balayage treatment and I felt like the service was well worth the price. The environment of the salon is cool too. Prior to going my friends told me to be patient with going blonde and that it wouldn’t look good on it’s first try but I feel like the color came out great. I do wish it was a little brighter but that will come with time. I’d highly recommend the salon and Sofiya!

I’m so happy Chi and Bianca opened their own salon! I’ve been seeing Chi since he worked at Fox and Jane and would follow him wherever he goes. Look through his pics! He’s the best! I’ve never had Bianca do my hair but I see her clients leaving with amazing hair all the time. If you live in NY and want beautiful, on trend hair, go see Chi and Bianca.

My first time at Bianchi with Chi and I loved it! I found him on Instagram and decided to give it a shot after reading all the great reviews and seeing his work! Chi was super friendly and great with my hair! I can’t wait to get balayage with him and of course highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great hair service!

I honestly had the best hair experience of my life yesterday. Never have I ever had such a great experience. I found out about Chi actually through my friend who gets her hair done by Bianca. Chi is beyond amazing. He really listened to what I wanted and told me the truth about what works best for me. He really cares about the end result. I had a balayage done and it came out even better than what I imagined. You truly have magical hands Chi thank you so much! I left the salon feeling super beautiful. I highly recommend Bianchi

Loved my first time with Chi from Cianchi. I just moved to the city & struggled to find a new colourist but was so happy to find Chi through Instagram! I was in the salon to get my roots done & toned (black hair to bleach blonde) and loved the result. Chi was great to chat to & we had so much fun which I think is important when your spending up to 5 hours in a chair.
Highly Reccommend!

Chi is the best. Found him on IG and then on Unilocal.He had such good reviews, and did not disappoint. He is incredible with color and realistic about results … My hair was super dark and I was looking for a lighter balayage type look… He got me lighter but told me it would take a few visits. I couldn’t be happier with the first Visit.

Chi is an artist. I’ve worn my hair long for almost a decade now and I was nervous to wear it short. Chi made me comfortable and he kept reassuring me that it’s gonna be okay. He did an amazing job, taking time with cutting and styling. I like how he taught me how to style my hair and which products to use.

Hands down the best hair salon for cut and color! Bianchi has such a talented staff who never fail to amaze me! I have been coming to Chi for balayage for years and he is truly an artist!
Overtime he has worked with me to transform my hair from dark brown to light blonde and it feels extremely healthy and looks so natural. Last night I decided to cut my hair short and I could not be happier with the cut! Chi always takes his time cutting and styling till everything is perfect. Every experience I have had with him has been amazing and I cannot imagine going to any other stylist because his work is consistently fabulous!
The salon has such a great energy with fun music and you can even have a beer or two I would highly recommend the salon to anyone. I always walk out of the salon so happy with how I look and feel!

I have had services from both Chi and Bianca and would recommend both of them, hands down.
I have followed them from salon to salon and excited to see them pursue their dreams and start this salon together. I have no doubt that their success will continue to build, not only because they are highly skilled artists, but because they are genuine, nice people who enjoy making great hair and happy customers.
Most recently I have been seeing Bianca, to try and achieve a brunette to blonde blend from my previously box dyed, black hair. I fully understood that my undertaking is one that takes time to achieve and cannot be accomplished without some level of damage. Every time Bianca has provided excellent advice on how to get to the next step to ultimately achieve what I am going for. Through both Chi, Bianca and time, I am finally 98% there! The remaining 2% is achieving healthy length with my new color.
I fully aware I am a picky customer, but both Chi and Bianca have taken it in stride offering a follow up visit for any minor correction I request (slight toning, an extra highlight here, etc.). They are always willing, gracious and kind, which is not an experience I have had in the past with other stylists.
Bianchi Salon’s prices are good (++), they serve wine and coconut water (++), play good music, (++), and have interesting conversation amongst all guests (++), which is nice and makes your time spent feel more like a gathering of friends doing hair than «I am just here for my appointment only» sort of experience. All benefits above and beyond just getting great hair!

I have been seeing Bianca for over a year at various salons downtown so I was thrilled when she opened up her own salon in the Lower East Side. She’s one of those stylists who just ‘gets it’ and has great taste. She makes me the most perfect blonde and knows how to color my hair without damaging it. She also gives me great hair cuts– ever since I started seeing her my hair has gotten so long and healthy.
Bianca’s personality and flare extends throughout the salon as well — she plays fun music and although it’s brand new, she’s beginning to infuse her modern/​chic aesthetic into the décor.
If you can’t tell, I highly recommend seeing Bianca at Bianchi salon!

I found Bianca on Instagram, and decided to give her a try because I’ve seen the amazing jobs she has done so far. And I love her! So nice, accommodating, and helpful.
Made a last minute appointment and was able to get a spot with Sofiyah not Bianca, but Bianca was there to help her achieve my look. I got a full head balayage, and he results were amazing. I was hesitant to work with Sofiyah because I have never worked with her, but I’m glad I took the chance. Love the work! Thank you guys! xx

If I could give more than 5 Stars I would.
I’ve been hopping from one hairdresser to another and I just could not find the «one» with the right touch. I’ve been through the «splotchy balayage» stage and the brassy blonde stage. I was hesitant to trust another person with my hair.
I’ve been insta-​stalking both Chi & Bianca for quite some time now and I’m glad I did! If you think their photos are great, you will be amazed once you see it in person!
Like Chi mentioned, «you’ll walk out of here being someone’s hair inspiration» and he did just that and more. I got a high contrast balayage and a trim since my ends were no good. I love how Chi answered all the questions I had regarding maintenance & made me feel comfortable with the process.
Definitely recommend!!! xoxo

Bianca is amazing… period. I never trusted anyone with my hair after I got my highlights done looking like ATT’s raising the bar logo. Bianca made me love my hair again, she is very patient (I change my mind all the time) and always gives you her honest opinion. I first came to her when half my hair was really red due to box color, and before we even began she explained that I had to be very realistic when it came to my goal (blonde) but just after my first visit, my hair already looked pretty amazing! I provided a picture of my third visit with her, the color always looks natural and as perfect as you can get! I have never gotten my hair done by Chi, but I have always seen him work his magic and his clients seemed very happy with their outcomes!

Okay, I’ve NEVER written and Unilocal review, but I’m writing my first one for Bianca because she’s just THAT good. I’ve had my hair cut/​colored all over the city at some of the most popular and expensive salons (The Whittemore House, Bumble and Bumble, Cutler, Shampoo, etc.) and NO ONE comes close to Bianca. She’s a true talent. If you’re looking for a cut that makes you look better than you ever knew possible and perfectly blended balayage, then you’ve come to the right place.
I’m so glad I found Bianca a few years ago and have followed her around the city since. Aside from her insane hair skills, she’s an absolute joy to spend an afternoon with — I always look forward to my appointments. :)
Seriously — go see her. You won’t regret it!

I’ve been to Bianca before and let me start off by saying how amazing her work is, she gave me the perfect textured cut, and god knows how many people commented on my hair, her work is amazing!
And now let’s start off with Chi, his works so great, this was my first time getting my hair cut by him and I am beyond satisfied, it’s literally the best choice I’ve made cause I got exactly what I wanted/​asked for.
I found my go-​to stylists, and someone who I can finally trust with my hair. They both are truly very amazing, I promise they won’t let you down! :)

I’ve been getting my hair done by Bianca for about two years now, and I’m so glad I found her after never being completely satisfied with other stylists. I’ve had multiple balayage and hair cut sessions with her and she never disappoints! I always end up leaving the salon happier and more in love with my hair. My first session with her was my very first balayage experience, long dark hair and then I went lighter and lighter until I had my natural color fade into a dark blonde. It was everything.
A few months ago, I decided to chop off almost a foot of my hair and color and went for a textured lob. She helped make the transition really fun and exciting and everyone is loving my short haired look! Past salons would make me nervous but every time I book with Bianca, I’m excited and anxious to see the results instead! And of course, I always absolutely love the outcome.
She’s so sweet and fun to talk to and she’s great at helping you figure out what direction you really want to go in when it comes to your cut and color. I remember always having to bring in so many pictures but after a few sessions with Bianca, she just gets you and understands what you’re looking for. She’ll talk you through things to make sure you’re going to get exactly the style you’ve been wanting and the experience at the salon with her is always a lot of fun with great energy from the rest of the staff.
What I love about Bianca is that she’s very professional but is practically like your best friend when you’re in her chair. She’ll take her time with you and never rush because she’s a perfectionist, which in this case, is definitely a great thing. She pays attention to all the details to make sure you are 100 000% satisfied with your cut and color. If you’re in the area, definitely book your next appointment with her or Chi! If you’re not, I promise it’ll be worth the travel! :)

I have now gotten a balayage and 2 cuts from Bianca – so happy.
I was looking for someone to color and cut my hair into a lob (long-​bob) but I was scared since I had been sporting fairly long, non-​dyed hair for over 10 years. I randomly entrusted Bianca for this task after seeing her great work online. Luckily her work exceeded my expectations! The bayalage and cut came so great that from that moment on, I decided that Bianca was going to be my new stylist going forward.
Fast forward a few months, I decided chop my hair off above my shoulders (so daring, I know!). I wasn’t nervous – ok I was a little – but I knew I was in good hands. Bianca, without fail, gave me another haircut I unexpectedly loved.
I really love that I can color and cut my hair differently at Bianchi Salon without worrying about a bad outcome. Passionate and hardworking. I highly recommend this salon! Appointments can be made easily via text or email.
ps. I’ve had the pleasure of seeing Chi, Bianca’s business partner, work on clients’ hair while getting my own hair done by Bianca. Although I cannot personally speak for his work, his clients’ hair looks great and they always seemed very happy with the end results. :)
