The best haircut experience I’ve ever had- the salon is absolutely beautiful, so aesthetically pleasing/impeccable taste and so much attention to detail. I wanted to chop off my hair and pretty much left it in the owner’s hands, he worked his magic and I love my short bob so much. He is a true artist and brings his vision to life while holding a great conversation at the same time. The kind lady who shampooed my hair was so gentle and sweet, the whole experience was beyond 10/10. I can’t wait to visit again, such a great experience!

I have been a client of Karla’s for over 20 years and my husband is one of Q’s clients- both Karla and Q are extremely talented hair stylists. Not only do we leave their salon feeling good about how our hair looks but we feel like we’ve just spent time with good friends!

I have been seeing Karla at Q Hair for years. She is a masterful colorist and cuts my curly/wavy hair beautifully. I have recommended many people over the years and I will continue to do so - she is fabulous! I cannot recommend her highly enough.

I have enjoy working with Karla and Q since 2004. They really understand how to work with my head that is not symmetrical (whose head is?). Over the years, they have helped me create super short boy cut to exacting bop and now long flowing layer with just perfect amount of highlight so I don’t need to live with my very boring jet black hair and yet still look very professional in corporate setting. In summary, it’s magic.

I’ve been a client of Q Hair for as long as I’ve been in New York, and that’s a long time. Karla and Q are the only two people I trust with my curly hair. They are truly talented hair stylists and their shop is a pretty great place to spend a couple hours in when you’re getting a color and a cut. It’s intimate and well designed and the rest of the staff is on point! If you’re looking for a team of professionals who just “get” hair, look no further. Also in a great neighborhood!

Karla and Q are extremely talented hair stylists who just happen to be wonderful people. I've been going to Karla for 20 years and have always been happy with my hair. The energy there is great and their attention to detail and desire to make everyone feel comfortable and satisfied is something to celebrate.Their salon is welcoming and their staff are lovely, professional and a joy to talk to. I enjoy every visit and opportunity to be there.

Karla and Q, the husband wife team behind Q hair, are hairdressers who really get it. They listen to your concerns, make suggestions, but always deliver on what you want; plus they’re so talented and offer unparalleled service. Their salon is chic, private and welcoming at the same time, almost as if you’re visiting a cool friend’s place. Karla’s cut, styled and colored my hair for the past 15 years and I still, always get compliments. Highly, highly recommend; they don’t disappoint.

Love. Love. Love. The cuts. The color. The care. I have had my haircut by Q and my color done by Karla every month for 15 years and I hope they never retire.

Q Salon is awesome! I have been going to Karla for over 10 years and she does an amazing job each time. My hair remains soft and manageable even after coloring over the years and it's because she uses quality products. She has even had to fix other stylist's mistakes because I went elsewhere and I always come back! I can't recommend her and Q Salon enough!!

This is the only place that has ever been able to cut my curly hair well. I absolutely love this place & Q & Karla - it is always an oasis of calm and happiness - . Everyone feels comfortable and they are incredible at hair. The place is beautiful and the music is quiet but great. It’s a sensitively made extremely cool place. They keep it affordable too - especially considering how masterful they are. Everyone there is always lovely. It’s a rare gem of NYC.
