Grace botched my hair cut & color. I asked for a shoulder-length cut with soft waves at the bottom. She first cut the length too short (she agreed & apologized when I said something) and then ... I dont know what she did. During the blow out, I told her it was looking soccer mom-ish and she said Id asked for layers and that the blowout was creating that look. I left as quickly as possible (paying the balance for a total of $198.00! And a generous tip for her and her asst, mainly because I was in a daze and upset and didnt know what to do and just needed to get out of the salon) and wet my hair as soon as I got home (while crying) to re-style. Thats when I got a better look at the color, which was a mousy brown with highlights, very bland and unflattering, a color no one would ever ask for or purposely want. I called my old salon (I tried Inwood Hair Salon bc I was hoping to have a new place in the hood) and flew down there in a cab for color & cut correction. After it was re-colored, my stylist there had to straighten my hair with a flatiron just to get a proper look at what had been done. Needless to say, we were appalled. There were "chunks" of hair missing on the sides and the back looked like it had been cut with an ax with three or four uneven, chopped layers. When I emailed Grace all of the above, she wrote me a lengthy letter back saying Id asked for layers and said I was up for something new with both the cut and color. She said shed spent nearly 3 hours (it was 2) of her busy time on my hair and therefore would not give me a refund. We have different takes on what was said, but the facts are clear: The color and cut did not look like what I asked for. Beyond that, the color and cut were bad. The cut especially was completely botched. I did not want my hair shorter than my shoulders -- she cut it shorter and then it had to be cut even shorter when fixed. Its a nice looking salon. There was coffee & almonds. Grace was very nice, as were her assistants. They give you lots of scalp and neck massages. But the actual work done is truly all that matters.

I found Graces hair salon when I lived in the neighborhood, and now I travel an hour to come to Inwood Hair Studio - shes the only person Ill let cut my hair. She always does a beautiful job and seems to understand exactly what I want. Shes able to make a heavy head of hair feel light and move beautifully, and it always grows out well. The massages - both after hairwashing and after the cut, and yesterday with lavender oil - are relaxing. Her warm, kind treatment always makes haircuts a pleasure!

Ive been coming to Grace at Inwood Hair Studio for half a year now. Shes wonderfully friendly, extremely efficient, and keeps a lovely storefront. My hair has never looked better, and I cant imagine getting my cut or color done anywhere else. My hair has been heavily processed for several years, and Grace has given me the best advice on conditioning routines and treatments to best keep my bleached locks soft and healthy.

grace did an amazing job on my hair!! highly recommend inwood hair studio -- its got such a relaxing vibe with candles and tea, back and scalp massage, and an overall spa like feeling. I was nervous about finding a good stylist going back to short hair after having long hair for a good while, and i am so happy to say how satisfied I am with not only my customer experience but also the quality of my haircut :)

This is such a gem- a welcoming and relaxing spa-like atmosphere in an unexpected side street in Inwood off Dyckman. Grace and her staff are tops. I can not recommend this business enough. It is wonderful to be able to find this level of service right in our neighborhood! If you have not tried please do and support our local small businesses.

As always, Grace gave me an absolutely great cut yesterday. Her cuts are so superb that my hair keeps its shape for months. Among her other talents, Grace seems to have a sense of how hair is going to grow, and takes advantage of it. Highly, highly recommended.

I so thoroughly enjoyed my first sesssion that I deliberately booked on New Years Eve. I wanted to start off 2017 with a deep cranial massage with some fabulous Moroccan Oil Product. Not to mention a new look for a new year. Happy New Year!!!

Lovely little salon! Quiet and clean with a great atmosphere. My stylist offered me tea, gave me an amazing neck massage, and really took her time and effort to make sure I got the cut I wanted. Will go back!

Came in just for a straight ahead haircut. left with a great cut, plus head and shoulder massage in a very sedate atmosphere. The cut was also one of the best Ive had. Will be returning!
