Extravaganza Hair Designs

If your looking for an excellent and affordable place to do your eyebrows Lauren at Extravaganza is definitely the person to go to. Since my eyebrows are hard to maintain I have tried many places, and I was never this satisfied with my results! Lauren shapes my eyebrows perfectly, and leaves them looking perfectly natural. Lauren will accomodate your need for tweezing, or waxing (and she always offers to cover up your red skin afterwards!). Not only does she do an amazing job on your eyebrows, but she's really sweet too! I have recommended Lauren to many of my friends and family already, and highly recommend her to anyone looking as well! more

Lauren Dorino is the most talented aesthetician. She has been doing my eyebrows for over a year and I am always highly satisfied with the result. Great price. Great product. Convinient location. Overall fantastic expirience. more

I went to Extravaganza on a recommendation, and was glad I did. I have fine, thin hair, and was going for a dramatic change in color from dark highlighted blonde to a very deep brunette. Peter did an amazing job with just a single process. The color, though very different from my own, suits me perfectly. He also cut and showed me a wash and wear style with minimal product. My hair looks healthier and thicker - I got many compliments on it already. I really liked being able to have a consultation before - it made me feel at ease. Prices are also very reasonable for NYC. I will definitely be returning to this salon. As some other poster(s) said................Peter Rocks! Pros: Great color, Professional, Courteous staff, Price, Location more

This was my first trip to Extravaganza Hair Designs and I was a little nervous. My last haircut and color (at a different salon) had been HORRIBLE and I was nervous to trust anyone. I came in to get a single process color and cut. Turns out- there was absolutely no reason for me to be nervous! Rosie made me feel at ease right away. I have a very specific red that no other colorist has ever seemed to be able to get, but Rosie knew right away what I was describing. My hair color turned out STUNNING. So beautiful. And my cut was really great as well! I told her that I knew I had damage to cut off, but that I was trying to keep length. I was afraid she'd tell me I had to cut more than an inch off, but she listened and understood, and gave me some ideas on how to help my hair to get healthier in the mean time. Rosie was helpful, a good listener, and styled my hair beautifully afterwards, since I told her I was going out to a special dinner that evening. Highly recommend this salon- and Rosie! :) Pros: reasonable pricing, great staff, great atmosphere Cons: none more

I recently moved to New York and wanted to change my hair color from a medium brunette to RED! I had no idea where to go, so I let the reviews on CitySearch guide my way ... and they lead me to straight to Peter. The place was well-organized and I only had to wait a few minutes. Peter consulted with me about my hair and he listened to what I wanted and told me his honest opinion that maybe red would be too much and he made a few other suggestions. But I told him I had my made my mind up and wanted a deep red. He said "great" and went to work. My hair turned out a gorgeous deep red with some flecks of a brighter red to frame my face - just what I wanted. I was very pleased with the results and it gave me the fresh start I was looking for in this city. Not to mention, the conversation and fun and well worth my time there. I will definitely be back to play around with different colors - and I will only go to Peter. Pros: Creative coloring more

This is my first time EVER writing a review for ANYTHING but I had to do it because what Peter did with my hair was amazing!! I have always had very long hair and everytime I got the smallest amount taken off the stylist finds a way to screw it up! Peter chopped off ALOT of my hair but I was soooo happy with it and I have been getting compliments from everyone I know. I even had a random woman on the train tell me how much she liked the way my hair "lay". The atmosphere was also very welcoming and the music...(he played some turkish music for moi, the turkish girl) was the iceing on the cake! Definitely found my stylist in Peter! He has a devoted client here... Pros: Price, Service, Staff Cons: NOTHING more

I've been to Extravaganza only three or so times, but each time it's a great experience - last time they even let me bring my small dog! They're very accommodating, warm, and friendly. After seeing all the reviews for Judith, I figured I'd give her a shot. She's excellent - she listens to you and gives you exactly what you want. She doesn't do what most stylists do when they think they know better; if you want it light in front, tell her and she'll do it (while making sure it looks natural and beautiful). Her funky style and warm personality also add to the whole experience. The only reason I am giving 4 stars instead of 5 is that they charge $30 to blow-dry, even after spending $150 on highlights, and I think that's a bit excessive. Pros: Great highlights, friendly atmosphere, affordable Cons: Overly expensive blow-dry charge more

I love getting my hair cut and blow dried here..just because it's such a great time. Peter and Ruben are my loves and always do their best to make me look good!! :) They also provide a great laugh and everyone is so friendly. And Judith is also amazing even though I've never had her cut my hair..everyone is just amazingly friendly and they do an excellent job without charging ridiculous prices! Pros: not a long wait, friendly staff, clean, good conversation, listen to customers Cons: none! more

Judith has cut my hair for years ( I've followed her from different salons) and I continue to see her because she could give me a great cut with her eyes closed, no matter what I ask for, or if I even know what I want. I can wait longer between cuts because they always grow out incredibly. Furthermore, I love her positive attitude and high energy! more

This is an excellent hair salon! I highly recommend it for both cut and color- they also offer hair straightening. I have been doing highlights for years (including at the most expensive places in the city) and found that this place does them best. The quality and service is outstanding, but will not break your budget. There is a warnth like no other at this salon. The staff is so kind and most importantly extremely knowledgeable and patient....they will make sure you are happy. Peter, the owner, will make you feel at home and is an amazying stylist!!! more

I had the best experience here. I walked in on a monday am and requested my hair color to be fixed. I have had many bad coloring jobs in this city. My current state of coloring was in need of help.........natural brunette with my roots growing out, with a bad bleach blonde color on the rest of my hair. JUDITH was just AMAZING. She returned me back to my natural brown, then put in just the right amount of highlights to make my hair look like a natural dirty-blonde color. The FIRST time I have actually liked my color in years! She also LISTENS! My hair grows slowly and I did not want all my length cut off. She listened to me and only cut what was needed to make sure my hair stayed healthy, and she showed me the amount she was going to cut prior to doing so. I hate when stylists just cut to the length they want. The salon itself is very clean. I did meet the owner whom greeted me when I walked in, very nice. I liked that I did not need an appointment, I hate being tied in. I just can't think of any negatives. citysearch has a 15% off coupon which worked great. I think if you really are looking for some skilled people who now how to style, color, and fix color problems............you HAVE FOUND THE SPOT! Thanks again to JUDITH! Pros: Judith, great color, great cut, staff listen to you, staff very friendly Cons: none more

After living in Manhattan for over three years, and trying every single top-name salon (Oscar Blandi, Fekkai, etc), I must say that I've wasted a lot of time and money before coming to Peter. I cannot say enough about this man- he is a brilliant colorist (made my hair a gorgeous champagne blonde, which is not easy), and he has given me an amazing cut that has won me compliments on the street. I am so particular about my hair, I never felt a true sense of trust with any stylist, but Peter has won me over. And to top it off, his prices are incredible and he is the warmest, most attentive salon owner I have ever come by! I am NEVER going anywhere else!! Peter is a hair genius! Pros: attentive, talented, warm, cost effective Cons: absolutely nothing more

Whether you're new to NYC and looking for a hair salon or you've been here for a while..THIS is the place to go! If you want a reasonable yet professional haircut, I highly recommend Extravaganza Hair. If they could save me, they can help you. I had a really poor hair coloring job- my hair turned an orange color- and Peter and his team helped turn my hair from a disaster into a beautiful blonde/brown color. As everyone has said, they are all so friendly and attentive to their clients and really take their time with each person. It was obvious that they know what they are doing when it comes to cutting, highlighting, and coloring. While I was there, both men and women came in for haircuts and everyone knew their name, giving the salon a very neighborhood-friendly feel. I can keep going and going but this is the salon for you.... more

These guys are the best. I won't go anywhere else for my highlights. Every one of the stylists is excellent. I've had a lot done at Extravaganza including the difficult task of matching my color to a hair piece for a play I was in. The color was amazing and I've gotten fabulous hair cuts there. They are so friendly! They know my name and I love that. This is a neighborhood spot, but the skills here rival any big-name 5th Avenue Salon. I've had my hair done at really expensive places and I find myself returning to Extravaganza. The skills are TOP-NOTCH, the prices extremely fair and I love the atmosphere. I recommend these guys whole-heartedly. They are amazing. Pros: Great Service. Great People. Excellent Skills. more

I was nervous about a haircut as I wanted to go super short. I walked in Extravaganza and they assured me that everything would be okay. Pinny gave me a marvelous cut- the best of pixie and bob! It was funky yet sophisticated. It is definitely my salon of choice in NY! Pros: Skillful Staff more

My friend recommended Peter and she literally called him the 'hair guru'. I had used the same colorist/stylist for 20 years and since his retirement had bounced from one person to the next. When I came to Peter my hair was varying degrees of orange. Besides creating a karmic experience that makes you feel like you could just hang out there even if you're not getting your hair colored...he actually fixed my hair!!! AND, gave me the greatest cut!! I completely trust his judgment on cutting and styling. And let's face it, don't we all want a hairdresser who can tell us what will look good on us and then make us look good? Go see Peter. You won't regret it. more

My office recently moved location, forcing me to find another hair stylist. My search brought me to Citysearch and when I noticed the rave reviews for Peter and Extravaganza, I skeptically decided to give the salon a try. Last night I walked out of Extravaganza with the best haircut, color and low-lights that I've ever had and I'm just thrilled. The atmosphere at the salon is friendly and fun and the people who work there are delightful. Peter is extremely talented and personable and you just instantly feel comfortable in the fact that you and your hair are in the best of hands. I like to experiment with my hair styles and I'm so happy to have found a salon that is willing to take that edgy step with a hairstyle. The prices are extremely reasonable, and the stylists are up front about any additional costs involved with their recommendations. I'm so looking forward to many different looks in the future and my only regret is that it took me this long to find Extravaganza. Pros: Everything Cons: None more

I wanted a change and went into Extravaganza Hair Designs it was a great cut! I wanted a change and they def. new what i wanted. Its a great cut. I get compliments all the time. I have curly hair and its hard to find someone good to cut my hair. I just found my place! Pros: the staff and the haircutting skills more

Peter at Extravaganza is a hair GENIOUS! I have had a series of terrible hair cuts. They just wouldn't listen to me and they would cut my hair the way they wanted and exactly how i didn't want it. Then i found Peter. And he actually cut my hair the way that i wanted and made my highlights perfect. I will never go anywhere else!! Pros: The staff! more

I went in for a haircut a couple of months ago. The cut itself was okay, but I was way overcharged. On its website it says $35 for a men's haircut, and I was charged $45 and wasn't even given the citysearch discount. If you are price conscious, then definitely ask for the price first. Otherwise, expect an average haircut (for men's, at least). more
