I requested a short pixie cut with very specific instructions. I wanted a clipper cut on the sides and the back with the number 2 guard. The sides are patchy and uneven. She did not blend well. And no one in the whole salon knew how to bald fade out the hair line in the back. Even though I asked in advance. Now I'm looking like a blind person cut my hair. I wanna go home and cry. I hadn't cut my hair in 10 months because I can't for my life get a decent hair cut 😢😭

I am sooo happy with the service and quality of work Dramatics 3rd Ave provided me. I came in for a color correction/highlight + balayage. They went above and beyond to listen to what I want and gave me an honest and thorough consultation. Caramel did such a great job with the color correction, I couldn’t recognize myself after. I Highly recommend this location, they have such a welcoming atmosphere, extremely talented stylists, and exceptional work. Thank you so much.

I’ve been coming here since may for their walk in special. I haven’t been disappointed ! I just had a haircut by Vegas and she was an absolute gem !!!! She took one look at my hair and recommended layers and transformed my hair! I totally recommend Vegas!

Extremely scissor happy! I asked for a 1 inch trim and at least three inches were taken off. I went home and cried. Be really careful which hairdresser you go to. 😢

I have been a loyal customer of this salon for years, but after my most recent experience, I won’t be returning. I scheduled a trim and face-framing cut the night before my honeymoon and ended up with a disaster. The stylist gave me a choppy, blunt cut bang that wasn’t blended at all, and it was far from the subtle face-framing I asked for. After leaving, I reached out to let her know that my cut was not what I asked for, and they told me I got "curtain bangs." Not only did I *not* ask for curtain bangs, but what I got wasn’t even close to that. It was a blunt cut bang, and the work was incredibly sloppy. I emailed the salon, sent photos of the mess, and they initially offered to fix it the next day. Unfortunately, like most people, I work during the day and was leaving for my honeymoon that evening. I explained my situation, and they said they would speak to their manager to see if they could help, but after that, they completely stopped responding despite my multiple follow-up emails. To add insult to injury, I paid $90 for this terrible cut, which is one of their higher-end prices. I had to scramble and go to a different salon, closer to my work office during my lunch break the next day to fix it. The stylist there was shocked at how bad it was and even took before and after videos showing the difference. This experience left me in tears the night before my honeymoon, and the lack of professionalism and customer service from the salon was deeply disappointing. Needless to say, I’ll be going to the salon that actually fixed my hair from now on. EDIT: 9/21 - still have not been contacted by them even though their response said someone would be today(9/20) Fact Checking that they only contacted me once the morning after and did not try multiple times. Again, regardless of the years of experience a botched hair cut is a botched hair cut. A place with that many years of experience should have higher standards. Adding photo to show my curtain bang face framing they gave me.

Today I was a walk-in and ask if they had availability - the front desk person which was nice by the way. Proceeded to ask one of the two hairdressers that were scrolling on there phones if she would cut my sons hair. My son has curly hair. She didn’t realize I could see her response from where I was standing. She said no and the other hairdresser said something to her and she still said no. He finally cut my son’s hair but when I say this was less than a trim he barely shaped it. The customer service at this location is awful. It felt uncomfortable. Do NOT recommend.

It's a friendly atmosphere and if you want artful sculpting of hair and more ask for Omega!


Jul 06, 2024

I had the pleasure of having a color appointment with Omega, and I can't express enough how transformative the experience made me feel. The consultation process was thorough and personalized, with Omega taking the time to understand my vision and offering his expert advice on how to brighten my hair up, yet allow for low maintenance with the color. The attention to detail and the genuine care Omega showed were unparalleled. Omega's technique resulted in a vibrant, stunning shade that made me feel alive again. Omega made sure I left the salon feeling not just satisfied, but confident again. His friendly and professional demeanor, made my experience unforgettable. I have received countless compliments on my hair since the appointment, and I owe it all to Omega. If you're looking for a stylist who will not only meet but exceed your expectations, Omega is the one to see. Thank you Omega. I will definitely be back !!!!!

Omega did a fabulous job on my hair. Roots, highlights and keratin. He is so kind and detail oriented, my hair has never looked so good!!!


Jul 06, 2024

This place has been here forever. I remember I used to go here all the time 10 years ago but I moved. I recently went back and it was solid. I remember that I paid around $110 at that time for a color and a cut. This time I paid $170. Inflation.

Recently, I had the pleasure of experiencing a men's haircut at Dramatics NYC by Vegas. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warmth and professionalism. Vegas, took the time to listen to my preferences and offered valuable suggestions based on my hair type and face shape. Throughout the haircut, I felt relaxed and confident. The end result exceeded my expectations - a stylish and precise cut, perfect. I highly recommend Vegas at Dramatics NYC for anyone seeking a top-notch men's haircut experience.


Jun 06, 2024

Worst haircut of my life. 100% opposite of my instructions.


May 06, 2024

I love this salon. It's a wonderful experience, with stylists who care. When I first came in, Jade and Omega were able to fix my old color and style. Such an amazing job on my hair! Today, I booked with Omega. He worked wonders on my color, extensions and style. He was able to match the extensions to my original color and added purple to make them pop. They came out perfectly and made me feel runway ready. Will definitely come again!


May 06, 2024

I walked in to dramatics expecting to get a great cut and some blonde highlights and I walked out like a princess Barbie doll thanks to Omega who was highly recommended, but the proof is in the cut!

This salon has become my go-to for a balayage, and for good reason. After an amazing first experience with Caramel, I booked an appointment with Mimi, and I was blown away. These talented stylists truly work magic with hair. Mimi skillfully brought my vision to life, meticulously crafting the perfect look after discussing my inspiration photos. Despite the time it took, three hours flew by, and the result was undeniably worth it. Trust these ladies to deliver stunning results every time!

If I could give this 0 stars, i would. I had an appointment just yesterday at this salon and received the WORST haircut of my life. I showed a very clear inspiration picture and asked for only 2 inches off my length. She cut of 6 INCHES of my length and i have a bib now. I also asked for curtain bangs and told her to note that I have wavy hair. My stylist cut the bangs far too short and completely uneven. I am NEVER going back, I would never recommend someone to try here. Additionally, I asked for a refund for the service and did not receive one. Below is my inspiration:

Mimi is great!


Mar 06, 2024

Omega did my tape in extensions. He matched my color perfectly and styled it. The blow out has lasted me for days and I’ve gotten so many compliments! Def go to Omega for all your extension needs 🩵


Mar 06, 2024

i love this salon :-) diesel gave me beautiful layers and a perfect blowout. everyone is really kind here and it’s so easy to walk in and get a service. definitely my go-to salon <3


Feb 06, 2024

Always a great experience, wonderful staff, and the service and end result shows! Go to Fame, she's the best!


Feb 06, 2024

Amazing amazing amazing!!! I called in at the last minute on a Saturday and they were able to accomodate me. I had some color that needed to be fixed and Omega did such an amazing job!! So so happy will definitely be back.


Feb 06, 2024

Flew in for a special event, however I was not able to have my hair done prior to leaving home. I was referred to Omega at Dramatics NYC 3rd Ave . Had my hair done one word FANTASTIC!!! He was awesome and a great hair stylist. Had my hair colored/cut/semi perm. He was very attentive to detail as he cared for my hair. One did not feel as if he was rushing to get to the client but was focused on doing a great job for his present client. So if you need a hairstylist Omega ( Love that name) at Dramatics NYC is highly recommended by me.


Feb 06, 2024

Got my haircut with Omega today! I loved my cut and style and had fun chatting as well. My boyfriend went to Diesel and also left very happy. 5 stars all around :)


Feb 06, 2024

Great affordable women's haircut for short hair.


Feb 06, 2024

Happy with my haircut but not with the overall experience. Hairdresser was running behind so offered me a 10 min conditioner treatment, which I thought was nice. 45 minutes later, my hairdresser began working on the next client’s hair before starting my cut. I was asked if I wanted a flat iron so I said sure, then was told after that usually they would charge but they won’t because of the wait. I think a discount on my cut would have been a nicer offer! Definitely overpriced, $70 for a trim. I won’t be going back.


Feb 06, 2024

I came in for a cut and color with Omega and he did such an amazing job! I had never had color before and wasn’t sure about the process however Omega was able to achieve exactly the results I was looking for. Amazing results and hospitality, would recommend!


Feb 06, 2024

I have been here twice since moving to the city and both times have been a wonderful experience! Omega is not only great at cutting hair, but he listens to what I want and always adds extra details that make the haircut even better than I could have imagined. He's also extremely nice and a pleasure to talk to. I definitely recommend getting your hair done here.


Feb 06, 2024

I just wanted to take a minute to express my gratitude to the best stylist ever. THANK YOU, OMEGA! Omega makes me feel like I’m ready to hit the runway in NYC fashion week every time he does my hair. He always gets my color and cut on point. Not to mention I’ve never had anyone dry and style my hair the way he does with minimal product and heat. It’s like magic. He’s magic! I always look forward to my time in his chair. He is the vibe!


Feb 06, 2024

I loved my hair when I left. Omega did a great job and is very informative about all things hair care. Highly recommend.


Feb 06, 2024

I’ve been coming here for years now & always take advantage of their super affordable walk-in cuts. Today I saw Omega & he was so amazing! I showed a few photos of past hair cuts I liked & he was able to transform my drab & tired hair with a beautiful hairstyle. Everyone here is so helpful & kind, would highly recommend.


Feb 06, 2024

I’ve been coming to Dramatics for years. Caramel is my hair stylist and knows how to turn my… rather unkempt hair into something beautiful and “civilized”.😊


Feb 06, 2024

Jade is amazing. I always feel better as she cuts and colors my hair to my liking and enhances my over all look. Been a patron of Dramatics NYC for nearly years and love the vibe at every location.


Feb 06, 2024

OMEGA just cut and colored my hair to perfection. He spent time listening to what I wanted and he made it all happen. He’s an amazing stylist!

This studio was promising based on the reviews left my others, but I had one of the worst hair experiences of my life here. I asked for a simple trim to my medium length blunt haircut. Every single person in the salon bullied me into getting layers, promising me I would look fantastic. My stylist was persistent and a little hostile about layers looking good on my face shape. I agreed hesitantly, but ultimately put my trust in them because every review i saw had good results. My stylist was extremely distracted throughout my appointment because she was expecting a call. She kept stopping to check her phone and left me alone partway through the appointment for 15 minutes. She did ask another person on the team to assist me in the meantime with a blowout, but the second person also had an attitude problem and didn’t blow out my hair correctly. The layers were cut extremely choppy with little to no regard for my strong straight hair texture. It looks like I have steps in my hair and the layers are uneven. She gave me a ‘complimentary styling’ but i now can see she was just hiding her mistakes with the curls. It will take me over a year to grow out these layers back to the length i wanted all over in the first place. Although I never asked them to fix it, I am never going to return. I don’t trust anyone on this team to give me a quality haircut.

Took my nephew there for a haircut Jade started 15 minutes late, ruined his haircut, stopped twice to speak to the next customer who interrupted to discuss her daughters her hair. She didn’t even wipe him off after the cut just walked away. I called office to complain and received a call back where the woman relayed that jade said my nephew had difficult hair and dandruff. My nephew has very typical hair and in 15 years had never had a bad haircut experience and I’m not sure what dandruff has to do with being able to give a basic cut. And be warned if you walk in haircut is 38 but if you call in first the charge is 60.
