Laurel Bowery

Laurel Bowery is a highly underrated gem. I've been seeing Rui for my color for over a year now and he's consistently done some of the best work I've had. Their no frills space is reflected in their prices - everything is precise, efficient, and courteous. I would highly recommend this salon for blondes and a good cut.

I had a great experience with Coco, a new hair stylist at the calm and relaxed atmosphere of the hair salon today. I had a nice Japanese conversation during the haircut and coloring. Her knowledge, experiences as a hair stylist showed up to my hair care well. Thank you for her great work.

I got my hair blown out here by Megumi and it was an amazing experience. Firstly, the salon is so cute and pretty and the hair washing chairs with little stools for your feet is some of the most comfortable I’ve sat in. Then we get to Megumi who asked me what I wanted and what products I wanted and the style I wanted and perfectly executed it with respect and careful fingers. I’m so glad I came here to get the wash and blowout and will definitely be back soon!

Nami is the best. I have been going to her for the past year and have always had a great experience. The attention to detail is superb and the salon is always super clean. Highly recommend!

got my hair cut, colored and hair treatment here with Anne and it was an amazing experience! The salon is super clean. in love with my new color and soft hair 🙂 looks even better the next day- could not recommend enough!

I went to Nami a few years ago. 2021 to be exact. She an excellent colorist. But the shops policies regarding cancellations is egregiously ridiculous. 24 hour cancellation fee. I get 12 hours but 24 ? What if you wake up sick at 8a and have an appointment that day ? This is what happened to me back in 2021. Woke up with Covid. The city still has a mask mandate then. I had to cancel to protect others and heal. I stopped going to them bc they didn't allow dogs. And my dog has separation anxiety in which she'd howl and bark. So , I found a place that allowed dogs as long as the clients didn't mind. My dog , Bonnie , is wonderful around ppl and just lays on the floor by my feet no matter where I take her. Anyways, I decided to give them another shot as my goto is away. I saw Rui twice. He's good. But I want to go darker. The same as Nami did years ago. Nami wasn't available those days so I figured I'd stick with Rui. Rui declined to do my color. It's not his specialty. But Nami was there. This is where it gets weird. Rui kept asking me why I didn't go back to Nami. I said bc she wasn't available the days I am. For some reason I had to explain about my dogs anxiety issue and that she cries. "Cries ?" He asked with disbelief. Umm so I had to imitate my dogs howls lol. He then said Nami is here and maybe you can make an appointment with her. Ok. Then the owner came over and said I can see Nami but I would need to pay the cancellation fee from 3 YEARS AGO. I asked how much it was 200. I walked out. TLDR : don't go here if you want to be treated poorly and deal with strange ppl. And if you do , you better do everything in your power and pray you don't get sick or need to cancel bc they would NOT forget and have no compassion on why you would cancel on them.

A gem of a salon in NYC! I am very picky about hairdressers and absolutely loved my experience here with Rui. Friendly, professional and I felt that Rui really listened to what I wanted and gave me his honest opinion on what would look beat for my naturally curly hair which I wear straight most of the time. The salin itself is small, clean and modern. Loved the final result and will definitely be back! Thanks!
