Hair Razors Unisex Salon

I was very nervous straying from my normal Salon down on Long Island but I needed to get my hair dyed and couldn’t travel 4 hours to do so. I Unilocaled salons in the area and I chose this salon. I am so happy that I did!!! Excellent service and attention to detail. She matched my existing color where there was regrowth and I think improved my existing color. She (Tonya) offered to work with my crazy work hours so that I could come back for a glaze in a couple of weeks. I cannot rave about my experience enough! Highly recommend! I don’t think I’ll be traveling 4 hours any longer!

This place is fantastic. I was referred here by a work acquaintance a few years ago and it was one of the best referrals I have ever received.
My hairstylist April, is amazing. All I have to do is show her in a couple of photos and she performs magic. Never in my 34 years of living have I received so many compliments on my hair and it’s all because of April.
The rest of the staff are pleasant and courteous I highly recommend you make an appointment.

Penny, the owner, and her staff are wonderful. As another Unilocaler posted, the staff go out of their way to accommodate client schedules. There is positive energy in this place and the staff talk and share good stories, no negative gossip or complaining. Newbies are welcome and if you came in from a referral you & your referral get rewarded! They listen to what you want and work carefully to make sure your vision works with theirs. I get highlights that are so natural looking I went 6 months before I felt I needed them touched up. Every client has their profile saved, so 6 months later I was still in the book and ready to roll. Of course I was consulted that I wanted the same.
I see men, young ladies, children and mature women there when I go in. All seem happy with their experience.

It’s taken me a long while to warm up to the salons of Albany. Oh, why, you might ask. Basically, because I’m a horrible elitist, and I would wait until I visited home (i.e., Portland, Oregon) to patronize my favorite hipster rock-‘n’-roll barbershop, Bishops. Essentially, they were the only ones I trusted to touch my hair. And they were cheap.
Granted, I tried a few salons in Albany. I went to an Aveda. I went to some place in Saratoga. And all in all, I was never really happy with the results. So I kept on waiting to go to Bishops for my edgy ‘dos.
Enter Hair Razors.
I started going there after noticing that a bunch of people from Albany Crossfit were getting their hairs did there. And their hairs did look quite awesome.
My first experience there was great. April (who’s my one and only hairdresser now!) was familiar with using the vibrant dyes that I was using at the time, and gave me a great cut.
So I went back. And then she started putting in extensions. And my life has never been the same!
First of all, April is a genius with the shears. I have NEVER gotten a bad cut from her. I’m fairly anal about my hair, and I trust this woman completely. I even started getting A-​lines again because April is a person who WON’T F*CK IT UP. Seriously. I can’t tell you how many times I walked into a salon, asked for an A-​line, and walked out with a head of mangled and bad hair. April is exceptionally good at what she does (hell, the woman’s studied hair dressing in Paris), and from what I can tell, so are the other ladies who work at Hair Razors.
April is also an expert with hair extensions. I’d never had extensions before coming here, but apparently they take serious skill to cut correctly. Check! Not only are they fun and add volume to my hair, but they come in a variety of great colors and don’t fade. I said buh-​bye to constantly bleaching and dying my hair once I was introduced to these.
Basically, I’m feeling pretty sharp these days. A lot of that has to do with my hair. I don’t live near Schenectady, but Hair Razors is DEFINITELY worth the drive.
