Found Hare studio through an online video and my friend and I decided to try a new place, and they did not disappoint.
The stylists are very precise and meticulous especially with the haircuts and will make sure that the hair looks even. Additionally when bringing a reference photo for haircuts and/or coloring, they are very spot on. Overall pleasant experience with friendly staff, calm atmosphere, and would definitely come again 💇♀️💆♀️💁♀️

I had a hair appointment with Effie for a single hair color process as well as a haircut. It was such an amazing experience. During the hair coloring process, Effie was accompanied by another stylist and both paid attention to detail. Literally not a strand of hair missed. The color was exactly what I wanted. I usually struggle with my past stylist having my hair dyed 2 colors, but this time it was even all throughout. As for the cut, I had a previous butchered wolf cut that was grown out. Effie was able to Blend out the choppy layers and make my hair look so healthy and even again. She even made sure my curtain bangs weren’t too heavy and went back to make them lighter. It is really everything I could’ve ask for. Will be back :)) 🫶🏻

The salon and staff are all very nice but I wouldn't recommend going here for fantasy colors. I went to have them bleach (double processing) about a year's worth of grown out hair so I could do pastels colors all over. The bleaching was uneven leaving thick rings that weren't light enough to take on fantasy colors dye and caused a lot more breakage than I'm used to. I had to pay to have the dye job corrected at another salon a couple weeks later.
They seem great for other kinds of services but don't think lightening for fantasy colors is their specialty.

My first time going to Hare Studio was amazing!! I cannot express how much care they put into your hair. My stylist was Effie, and she is such a great stylist! She helped me understand how to style my new haircut that I was new to getting and did phenomenal on what I envisioned for my haircut, she doesn’t fail to disappoint! As well the treatment that goes into my hair is great, coming with a hair wash making me leave feeling refreshed. I have already gone back 3 times and I come back from all of my appointments amazed! This place is definitely going to be my go to for haircuts!

I wanted to wait a little after I got a balayage to comment so that I can see how the hair looks after a couple of washes. I have to say I'm very impressed with the salon. Humphrey knew exactly what I wanted and took their time to make sure the result turned out well. I asked for an ash brown balayage and showed him a picture. He did such a good job bleaching and coloring my hair, It still feels healthy and not at all damaged. At first when I saw my hair I wasn't sure because my hair ranges from brown to grey-ish and and lighter but it actually gives my hair great dimension, and really does create that "ash" look. Humphrey recommended washing with purple shamoo twice week, which I have been doing. The whole process took about 4 hours (my hair was pretty long and also very thick), and the results come out AMAZING!!!( I Love it !)
They were all very professional, but if they don't speak to you, I imagine it's because they aren't completely comfortable speaking English. But it's also somewhat cultural, and it varies by hairstylist. That being said they were very kind and did their best to explain the process, plus the results looked great.
If you live in manhattan or lower east side , Hare Studio is the best place for your hair !

First time coming to this salon but not my first time with Alven. He is the best when it come to balayage. I've been going to him since October 2022 and will continue unless he decides to stop doing hair(I hope not) but let's talk about the cleanliness of the place, for it to be a hair salon there no hair in site lol. After each haircut you see the stylist sweeping it up. The best part is that there is parking right in front. Definitely will be back in a few months for a root touch up

I came in late in the day to get a blowout and curls today for my graduation tomorrow. I asked my stylist Emily for tight curls so that they would last me for tomorrow (they open at 11am and my graduation is before then so I had to come the day before). First the stylists don’t apply any heat protectant to my hair while blowdrying it so I definitely got some heat damage from that. I ask for heat protectant when the curling iron comes out but I don’t even think the stylist heard me and she applied some oil which I’m hoping was heat protectant but I'm not sure since she didn't acknowledge my request. She starts to curl my hair and I notice they’re pretty loose. I wanted to trust the process so I didn't say anything. I asked for tighter curls in the front which she did but they’re barely any tighter.
When she finishes and is about to apply hairspray I ask if she can go back and curl some pieces in the front because they’re really loose, some even looked straight. She seems kinda annoyed by this but again I asked for tight curls from the start. She starts pulling out pieces to curl again and they're straight as if she didn't curl anything. She also applies a ton of hairspray in between curls. It's starting to look better but there are still lots of loose curls left but at that point I gave up. When she finishes she asks if that's better and I say yes I wanted tighter curls so that they can last me until tomorrow. She then says that my hair is going to be really sticky tomorrow and seems to act as if it's my fault. I say I don't mind I just want curls and not straight hair for my graduation.
When I get back home I immediately notice some hair has gone straight already (picture with white shirt). Only 4 hours after my appointment, all my hair is basically just straight or has a loose wave (pics with pink shirt). I also didn't do anything that would ruin the curls like lay down or tie it, I didn't even touch my hair. I bet when I wake up, all my hair is going to be straight, which is what I didn't want at all and what mentioned to my stylist several times. I am completely disappointed with the service I received today, I wish I could get a refund because now my hair is not what I wanted for my special day and it lasted me barely an hour.

Incredible quality! I needed a last minute blow dry before a wedding. Hare Studio got me in immediately, and did a full hair wash/ blow dry so quickly! I'm super grateful for the speed and high quality :)

Amazing haircut by Effie. I showed her a photo and she gave me the most amazing haircut that considered my hair texture and how I like to style my hair. She really listened and checked in with me throughout the cut to make sure I was happy and also styled it pretty close to the photo. Thank you!!! I will be back!

Emily and Humphrey transformed me into a magical mermaid! Check the before photo to see my faded and green-tinted hair (that I dyed myself a few months ago ) and natural black Asian roots.
They were able to create a beautiful silvery purple for the body, blending into the dark roots, and then lightened my front pieces for a silver grey money piece.
I love this so much! Thank you! Btw NO FILTER on the photos

I recently had an amazing experience at Hare Studio NYC where I decided to do my green hair peekaboo and it couldn't have been possible without Humphrey!
I was extremely impressed by how friendly and professional the staff members were. They took their time to listen to my requirements and how exactly I wanted my hair done. They made suggestions and gave me tips on how best to achieve the ideal look for my hair. Also, super grateful for their patience as well! (The whole process took like 5-6 hours)
Overall, I am extremely thrilled with my hair color and highly recommend this salon! I can't wait to come back for my next hair transformation! Thank you so much!

I visited Hare studio for the first time and Humphrey did my color, I wanted to do the ash blond. he discussed with me the options that he usually do on the Asian hair, he suggested me to do the color with 2 shade darker, which is when I shampoo the hair, the color will fade a little by little, I really agree with that, and he looked for some other colors with ash to show me and see which color I like. Finally I chose this ash dark grey.The whole process took 2 hours. However Humphrey did a good job and I love this color. I definitely will come back next time.

This is my must go to hair salon! Effie has been cutting and coloring my hair for the past few years. She is very talented and professional. She always communicated with me and gave me great consultations about my hair style and how to maintain it. Sometimes I didn’t know what color I wanted and I would just leave it to Effie. Every time the result came out was just amazing without any doubt. I received a lot of compliments from friends and family. I cannot recommend this place enough.

I recommend coming here wholeheartedly!!! It's always hard to find a place that will dye your hair the color you want, but Emily really did an amazing job!
She really put a lot of care into the process and I found myself falling asleep quite a few times. Emily made sure that my roots were bleached evenly all throughout. She even goes to explain the health of your hair and offers advice so that your hair can stay as healthy while being dyed. I have long hair that's been pretty damaged due to bleaching and dying it a lot so her advice really helped me out.
I've been to many different salons and have dyed, bleached, and cut my hair many different colors and styles and honestly, I felt very comfortable at Hare Studio and was more than in love with the final result. I wanted to get orange hair and the final shade was absolutely beautiful! Literally got compliments 5 minutes out of the salon from random strangers!!! I continued to get compliments throughout the whole month from men and women!
The final price was honestly not too bad for manhattan prices and the results were more than satisfactory! I def have been recommending Hare Studio to all my friends whenever they mentioned getting their hair dyed or cut because it's worth it!
I came back a second time and was not disappointed. This time, I wasn't sure what I wanted besides rebleaching my roots and having a somewhat light hair color. Emily made some suggestions and honestly it turned out quite beautifully! The end result is a rose color that I ended up really loving!

A new year means a fresh start! And that starts with a fresh cut! Plus, the last time I had a haircut was over the summer of 2022.... so just to let you know... my hair is likely damaged and needs a trim/cut..asap!
I decided to come to Hare studio since I passed by the location when I went out to get dinner. I peeked in and saw it was clean and spacious. I noted down the salon's name and decided to do some research.
I was very impressed with their work and photos. So! I decided to give it a shot and made an appointment for a simple haircut with Effie.
I went in about 20 minutes early during my appt date since it's right by my workplace (so I went over during my lunch...I gave up food for a haircut... unheard of!!! but glad I did...read on haha).
I had to wait a bit since I was early and Effie was busy with another client. But it was fine. I was eventually assisted with hanging my coat and into a smock thing for my haircut.
I was offered water as I was settling down into the chair, so that was really nice and honestly it's the small simple things you know?
Anyways, then Effie came over to me and asked what I wanted to do. I informed Effie of what I wanted, which was just a few inches off and layers.
I was then directed to get my hair washed first. The assistant was very gentle with my hair wash and felt very comfortable as he did what needed to be done. Even combing my knotted hair he was gentle and didn't tug really my hair, so I was thankful for that.
(Back to the chair and haircut started)
I informed Effie that my last haircut was over the summer so my hair was long overdue for a cut. I again told her what I wanted and Effie took it and went above and beyond. I'll be honest, I thought it was just a haircut, nothing too complicated. It'll be real quick. It did take longer than I expected only because Effie was very detailed. She layered my hair in such a fashion that my underneath color (that's currently like a blonde color rn) showed up more. So it seems like I've dyed it but it was just layered!!! I did not think about the color under just...haircut ...layers...done!
AGAIN! I did not expect to love my haircut so much cause I thought just simple layering and all that. Super impressed with Effie's work. Also, Effie was very friendly and I was comfortable enough to ask her about her thoughts on my hair condition and how far I can go with dying my hair... If I plan to (which I do in a few months. ) I showed some photos of what I had in mind and she gave me her thoughts.
ALSO! Effie's language skills! I heard her speak Canto, mando, and (obv) English during my one visit. (Yes, I understood them all too). Talk about catering to the client's language! Like around LES, you expect either one of the other but Effie seems fluent in all. So lang. is not an issue (one of my fears sometimes, I don't believe my Chinese is that strong. I understand but speaking is a different story.) at Hare Studio.
OKAY! last thing...price. While it's a bit expensive but not surprising given the location. BUT I do believe you are paying for high quality at Hare Studio. If you want great outcomes and comfortable and caring stylists - you'll need to pocket a bit. We are talking about your hair so...

The absolute best. I've been going to Hare Studio regularly since May 2021, when I decided to bleach and dye my naturally black hair into a cool ash blonde color. I get tons of compliments on my hair. It goes without saying that Effie is extremely talented at creating beautiful, even color. When I first bleached and dyed my hair, Effie walked me through the exact shade of blonde I wanted, and applied the bleach and toner in a way that created beautiful consistent color throughout. Not an uneven patch in sight! I now go in every few weeks for a root touch-up, and Effie always makes sure the color looks incredibly seamless.
I cannot recommend Hare Studio enough, especially if you're looking to make a bold haircolor change and want to be in good hands.

My friend recommended me to go to this hair salon so I went and had a great experience here! I absolutely love how my hair color turned out! My hair stylist Emily is so patient to hear me and gave me very professional suggestions in terms of what color fits me well and how to maintain the color.
The place is very clean and new. I'm going back soon to get a new hair color done and would love to work with Emily again!

Emily is a miracle worker. She transformed my hair into a beautiful blonde balayage and I have stayed this color ever since. This is the salon you want to go to for all of your hair coloring needs. As an actress, hair is extremely important to me and I wouldn’t trust my hair with anyone else. It’s more than just one process, she really added dimension and consulted me to achieve exactly what I wanted. 100% RECOMMEND! Thank you Hare Studio & Emily~

This is the place to go if you want to stand out with stylish and healthy hair. I absolutely LOVED my experience here at Hare
I'll show you before and after pics. So you'll be convinced that hair transformation is possible from the health and the look of your hair. And you'll feel that down to your core. If you're feeling down. Come here !
I used to get all sorts of fantasy colors and changed often. I decided to go more natural but with peekaboo highlights or money pieces and went to another place in the LES. The stylist was nice but just didn't understand what I was looking for. She kept thinking I was going for 90s striped highlights . . She even was looking on her phone "traditional chunky highlights " I still went for it and trusted her and was sad ever since.
Until I walked into Hare. First , Coco cut and changed me. Even with the sad color I had I already looked better ! I wanted a bob with bangs. My go but unfortunately not a lot of stylists can do it. Coco did it perfectly. He's a hair wizard with a good soul. He's fun to talk to without talking about the usual weather , Covid etc. I've learned so much about hair products and that's what I like to talk about with my stylists. He loves what he does and is a perfectionist. You will get what you want but with his professionalism and years of experience.
Emily colored my hair after the cut. I liked this bc she can see what the color will be with a cut and the damaged ends are gone. Mind you , my hair was damaged before I walked in. She explained everything , and I mean exactly what she was doing with the roots , ends and all in between. She works quickly and quietly. Great products are used here btw. A Japanese brand. I wanted a bright copper and she got it even better than I thought imagined. And here's the best part : my hair is now vibrant , shiny and healthy.
They don't try to get you to buy things here. And even recommended a product to use in between colors that is sold online. That's good people right there. Not telling me to come in 2 weeks after to keep the color or whatnot.
I walk around proudly with my new do and color and feel great !

This was my first salon experience.
I've never had someone else wash my hair before. I've never had my hair tied up in that towel wrap thing that women put on after a shower. I've never felt pretty before (still haven't). So clearly, my hair has never been as pampered as when Effie washed, conditioned, and carefully cut and styled it herself.
As I'm sure you can imagine, I've been going to barbers my entire life, because I've never had enough hair to really worry about how it gets cut. The funny thing about hair though is that it grows. Since I haven't had it cut in seven months (about six months longer than I usually go), now my hair's all long, and I figured if I'm gonna have long hair, I needed someone who knows what they're doing.
Well, Effie knows what she's doing for sure. She is very clearly skilled and knowledgable; I've never seen someone systematically attack my head in such a practiced way. She had a plan, whereas most barbers I've been to just have clippers.
That said, she did seem to sort of ignore what I asked her to do, and just cut my hair how she thought it should look. I'm not that upset because she made it look good, but I kind of wanted...what I wanted.
So if I were you, I would just be super clear about what you want, and I'm sure she can make it work.

Effie has cut my hair 3 times now. I couldn't be more satisfied. I'm a 60 year old woman who chooses to wear my hair in it's natural color - white. Effie cuts it in a fun yet age-appropriate cut that always gets compliments from my friends, family and coworkers.

Hair studio located inside Vivi's bubble tea shop - you get complimentary bubble tea as a client! There are 3 hair stations inside the studio, along with a bench for clients to wait. Good music, great vibes.
