AEREA SALON NYC - FLATIRON

I've been seeing Alex for over five years, just got a full refresh today and can't say enough how much I trust him and how good he is at blonde. The vibe at the salon is always warm and welcoming and he takes so much time to make sure you walk away happy. I've gone from full blonde with him to sometimes just a few sun kissed highlights and every time I walk away happy.

Context: Needed last minute color touch up & blow out for event. I’m in the middle of a multi-step soft grey-blonde blending process, transitioning from a richer brown blonde ombré to a lighter cool blonde blend so my roots don’t have as much contrast when they grow out. The top line: their team did great & I would absolutely go back again. Booking: Their online booking was efficient & effective & they edged out the competition because I could just instantly book & didn’t have to wait for a call back or email or text back and forth. I was traveling & it was a life saver for a next day emergency appt. Just make sure you book for the appropriate block of time, even if you decide to change up services when you consult w/ stylist at beginning of session. As with any salon, ask for prices afte

I’ve been bleaching my hair for years, and if you’re a blonde who understands the commitment (and the fear), you’ll know how serious this review is. Aerea Salon NYC is the only place I fully trust with my hair. As a middle-aged blonde who keeps her color very light, my hair has been through it — bleach, toner, touch-ups, you name it. Somehow, every time I leave Aerea, my hair looks healthy, glossy, and expensive, not fried or brassy. The stylists actually listen. They understand the difference between icy blonde, buttery blonde, and “please don’t turn me yellow.” They’re honest about what your hair can handle and never push you past that line just to upsell. That alone is priceless. The salon itself is beautiful, calm, and grown-woman chic — no chaos, no rushing, no ego. Just profession

I’ve been coming to Alex for over four years now, and I can’t recommend him enough! If you’re looking for someone who truly understands blonde hair, Alex is your guy. He perfects it every single time—my hair always comes out stunning, and I get so many compliments. Beyond his expertise, every visit feels like spending time with friends. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and you can tell Alex genuinely cares about his clients. If you’re looking for a stylist who nails blonde hair and creates a wonderful experience, book with Alex. You won’t regret it!

I’ve been coming here for a while now and could not be happier with the results. Alex has colored my hair several times, including with my extensions, and always does a beautiful job. Julia has done keratin leaving my hair smooth and healthy. Liz handles extensions, and this was my first foray into the world of extensions. I’ve had them in since April, and she is amazing—they look natural, last a long time, and I always leave feeling great. The team is professional, talented, and truly cares about their clients. Highly recommend!
