“I’ve been going to Kobita for waxing and threading services for over a year and have never been disappointed. She is welcoming, consistent and accomadating! Please don’t hesitate to give her a try, you won’t regret it!“

“Love Bridget! She’s an excellent stylist! Always love the way she cuts my hair. Conversation is always good. That’s why I’m a regular!!“

“Lexi has been my hair stylist for years! She’s amazing. I constantly go back and forth between dark and light in the summer and winter and she always makes my hair look amazing and keeps it healthy! She’ll tell me the truth when she thinks my hair needs more cut off or to not bleach it too much. But at the same time, when I tell her just to trim the tinesttt amount off, she does it! She listens to her clients wants and needs and won’t ever stride away from what you want. I’ve had hair stylist who don’t always listen to me, cut too much off, or go on the extreme side. Lexi won’t do that.“

“Ashley was so generous with her time and talents! I came in for microblading in anticipation of hair loss from chemotherapy and found Ashley to be kind, empathetic, and supportive. She answered all of my questions, explained what she was doing, and regularly checked in to make sure I was happy with her work. She was also extremely professional and detail oriented. I couldn't have asked for a better experience.“

She is the only one I trust to cut my curly hair and I even travel two hours to have her cut it. You can't go wrong with Amy as your hairdresser.“

“I’ve been going to Studio 23 in Albany, NY for over a year, and Nina has helped me grow long, healthy natural nails through her builder gel manicures. She is warm, welcoming, and incredibly detail-oriented. Every visit includes multiple nail color options, new products, a relaxing hand massage with lotions of your choice, and thoughtful touches like water, snacks, or a warm beverage.

Studio 23 is co-owned by her sister Crystal, who also provides professional hair care/styling and wig creations/installs. If you’re looking for high-quality nail and hair services in Albany, NY, Studio 23 is a must. Highly recommend.“

“The barbers are always nice and conversations are usually communal. Both Michael and Kirk are master barbers and every haircut shows it.“

“Been going to Cedric’s for 10+ yrs. Great service !Services: Shampoo & conditioning“

“Rose has been our family's hair stylist for many years. Their location is easily accessible, clean, and has a friendly caring atmosphere.“

“First time trying this nail shop after driving past it several times and finally deciding to stop in before Mother’s Day. The reviews seemed decent, so I figured I’d give them a chance.

Overall, I had a good experience. My nail technician spoke English fluently, which made the appointment enjoyable because we were able to actually converse and laugh a bit during the service. My nails came out nice, the service was quick, and everything moved pretty efficiently.

The only thing I didn’t really care for was the aggressive upselling toward the end with trying to add eyebrow services and the “beautiful woman” sales pitch lol. Not a huge deal, but definitely something to be aware of if you don’t like extra pressure during your appointment.

I will probably come back. My only concern is that he was the only technician there who spoke fluent English, so I’m not sure how future visits might go depending on who I get. But overall, I was satisfied with the service and happy with how my nails turned out.“

“we love Kirk he is the best always we have a good time when we go he is wonderful at what he does with hair“

“Love my hair, chrissy my hairdresser did such an amazing job!!
Then there is Lori, at first I went to an Asian salon and it totally ruined my nail bed and I I did not have any nail after that.
Day 1 Lori did a French manicure on my stubby nail and transformed into a pretty set of hands.. after a couple of visits with her my nails are stronger and prettier then ever.“

“Sooo very clean and makes you feel special and spoiled. Excellence in Hairstyling and cutting. For the entire family! My mom and my brother went and they look so trendy and hair cut with ingenious precision. Very happy and the styles of 2025!“
