International Hair Design by Ralf

I have had my hair cut by Eric a couple of times and I have always been happy with the results, I recently had my hair colored. This is the first time I have had coloring done professionally. I was very pleased, my hair color is what I wanted and my hair is shining. When I walk in I am treated very professionally, the salon is very clean and organized. Everyone is very pleasant. So glad I took my sister in laws advice to go here.

I have been coming to Eric at Hair Design by Ralph for just about a year and half now to get my hair styled, and I always leave feeling happy and confident. Eric is very attentive and very personal, and I have come to consider him my friend as well as my neighbor. I boxed dyed my hair terribly and he has been helping me recover from the damage I've done to my hair. I just went in today to get my hair trimmed and styled and I am always more than happy with my results. Thank you!!!

Before moving to FL I have been a loyal client for 30 years with Ralf. I have had my hair cut and colored by Ralf, Anita and Eric. They are the epitome of professionalism. It is rare to find a consistently excellent salon over this many years. I highly recommend this salon in Schenectady; it is warm, friendly and they know what they are doing. I will still have appointments with them while I am in the area.

It had been almost 2yrs since I had my hair cut or colored. I decided to check out different salons in my area and their reviews. I found that the hair salon International Hair Design by Ralf had great reviews, especially of Eric. I called and got an appointment for Saturday. When I walked in the salon, I was completely in awe. It was spotless, clean and felt that I had stepped into a salon in New York. The equipment and everything was up to date. The whole experience was astounding. The shop is a family business. Father, mother and Eric their son. Eric did my hair. What an amazing job. The cut, color and style. I rate this shop 10 star. Thank you Eric.

The owners are very nice, and helpful with advice for your hair. I will go back.

Been going here for a couple of years. I found that Ralf really doesn’t pay attention to my comments I never liked the bangs being longer than the back. He always cut the back shorter than the bangs. My complaint comes from and appointment I had in Oct. 23. Where I paid $50. For a cut plus 20$ for tip for a haircut. I showed a picture of the cut, he explained it was done with a razor, I said the worst haircut I ever had was with a razor and I did not think it was good for my hair. He proceeded to cut my hair from start to finish with the blade. He did not section in thin sections like regular cuts with scissors. He just grabbed and cut. When I got home and washed my hair I saw and felt the absolute butcher job he did. I started to cut hair that he and his razor missed. One side was shorter than the other and one side had a chunk in the middle that was shorter than the front and back on that side. I was so mad I had to wait a few weeks before going in and talking to him politely and discreetly. I told him he could not fix it at that time because my hair was too short for him to fix. I finally went back last week, four months later. My hair didn’t grow because it was so bad but I could not take it any more. I went back he put shampoo but didn’t really wash and did not even bother to put conditioner in. He trimmed my hair, blowed it out. As I was putting my hoodie on he was behind the register. He CHARGED me 37.50 to fix my hair that HE screwed up! And he thought he was being generous by giving me 25% off!??! I was so stunned I didn’t say anything. I walked out I did not leave a tip. A few days later I emailed him telling him what I thought and that I will not be going back and I will not be. I paid him for a hair style I did not not get plus a generous tip for the worst haircut of my life and he charged me to fix his mistake? Nope never going back. I could have done in October what I am doing now, I could have gone into the shop and made a scene, I did not. This is a warning to everyone be aware he will screw up your hair and charge you to fix it!

Decided to try them after reading the article in The Daily Gazette. Stopped in and spoke with Ralf and he was so knowledgable about curly hair, I made my first appointment. Also, scheduled an eyebrow shaping with Anita. Went for my first appointment today. I cannot say enough wonderful things about both of them. After searching for years, I have finally found a salon that can cut my hair. And, the eyebrow shaping was outstanding (and painless)! All of you that are looking for a great cut at a reasonable price should definitely schedule an appointment.
