Nina is the best! Great Dominican products and great with Black hair

Great service. Nina is super attentive. Will definitely come back!!

Clean, modern salon. All of the stylists do a great job and are professional and polite. I like that they stick to appointments and even if you are a walk-in customer, the wait is rarely ever long.

Great stylists and never the all-day waiting as with many other Dominican salons. Highly recommended

I've been going here since 1998 and these folks are awesome; and they know what they are doing! Their hands can create any style you want -- they are amazing! Ida (original owner / Ruth's Mom, Ruth, Kathy and the others) you can't go wrong!

Service was great, my hair was beautiful when she finished and she was very gentle with my hair. No extreme high heat and she was very nice. I believe I had Ruth the owner take care of my hair. I would definitely return if back in NYC for an extended period.

Had an awesome experience! I have natural 4a/4b hair and went as a walk-in.

My hair was done by Nina and she did a beautiful job!! She washed, detangled my hair with easy and little shedding, set and gave me a round brush blowout and now it's silky and bouncy.

I will be returning the next time I'm wearing it straight! Today is the first day it's been straightened in two years!

Thanks so much Nina & Blossom!

This was my first visit to this salon and before I went I was looking for someplace to go that was close to my job in NYC. I live in NJ and have a wedding Friday night and knew I couldn't get to the hairdresser in time during the week. Well after reading all of these outstanding reviews I said let me give it a shot. This place did not disappoint. I felt like so much at home. I had Joselin and she was just as sweet as she could be. So friendly and attentive. I was in and out including a hot oil treatment!! I will definitely be coming back here. Thank you ladies for making my week, my hair looks beautiful!

Nina is amazing, this is literally my first time coming I believe I have like 4B or C hair with a relaxer that I am trying to grow out. She gave me the best service in New York CIty ever! I got a robe a kiss on the check with welcome. The place is extremely clean ! I gave her a $10 tip -I got a oil treatment with a blow out. My hair was shiny and she educated me on everything. I cant wait to return!

I live in Brooklyn but I always go uptown to get my hair done by Nina! She’s so good and always leaves my hair silky straight after a blowout !

Amazing! Ruth continues to do a fabulous job on my hair. My hair is relaxed and short and she makes it healthy, voluminous and full. I've been going here for the past 4 months. The only negative comment I have is that their pricing seems to be inconsistent and there is a hidden charge for paying with card. Otherwise, I'm most happy with Blossom Salon!

I love this place! Ruth does hair perfectly. I just sit and let her do her manic. Cuts, coloring - anything!!

Love the energy at this salon. Latin music always playing, stylists are friendly. I get my hair done with Cathy and she's great! She's done roller sets, relaxers and cuts for me. Always listens to what I want and also makes me feel taken care of.

Came here on a whim. I loved what Ruth did with my hair. Beautiful. The only reason I took a star off is because everything seemed to be an extra charge. So I basically got a wash, trim and set for $85 (plus tip) which I find EXTREMELY high considering I was originally told $40 plus the trim. She told me what the add-on was (which was fair, I guess, but like I said, every little thing was just an extra charge). I've gotten all this PLUS deep conditioning for much less. Overall great experience / look, but the price completely deturs me from coming back unfortunately

I relocated to the area and FINALLY found my spot - they are ALL AWESOME. Always come out looking like a "STAR" - thank you Kathy, and Aida, you are the best.

Very friendly and the staffs are great.

I love Hair Blossom. It's conveniently located near my office and have been a loyal customer for a few years now. My hair stylist is Kathy and she's amazing. Also Ruth and the other girls) are very professional and so attentive to your hair needs. I would recommend anyone to go there and try them out. You won't be disappointed. : )

I'm having a very good experience, at my new hair salon Shop. It's in a great location. Very easy to get to. Love it????????????????????

Hands down the best hair salon...
Hands down the best hair salon that I have experienced in Manhattan. I tried a lot of salons in the city but, this place took the cake. I have long thick curly hair and most places don't make it straight enough and charge me too much. I read about this place in a hair magazine so I went. It was a match from the beginning. It looks beautiful and I was treated like a Queen. A stylist named Ruth did my hair, I loved it. My hair was straight and shiny and it lasted a more than a week. The thing that made it great was I was out of there within an hour. All that and it was cheap. The best.

Jocelyn is the best hair dresser I have ever had! I have been going to her for 16 years ....... She studies your hair and never rushes through the process regardless of time.

Great salon for quick and fabulous blowout that doesn't cost a fortune. Get there before 5 and you'll be in and out in about an hour. Love this place.

LOVE THIS PLACE!! Went today for the first time, America did a fabulous job. She gave me exactly what I wanted (wash and roller set, with blow out at the roots) and took the time to give me some advice on how to care for my hair. Best of all, I was in and out in an hour. Will certainly be back!

I came here on the recommendation of a friend who works in the neighborhood. Our regular hairdresser is in the Bronx but we get tired of the long waits and decided to give a new place a try for a wash and set. About the wait: It's absolutely true; you will be out in no time. Ruth did my hair and she did a great job. I need and love a good vigorous wash (I have long, thick relaxed hair) and she did just that. The blow out after she took out my rollers was great as well--that was the selling point for me. I like being smooth and silky so that my style can last for the week; I get my hair done on a weekly basis. While it is a little pricier that my regular place ($40 for wash, set and deep conditioner-not including tip) I will go back. I'll stick with my regular girl in the Bronx for my relaxer (gotta be selective with who does that) but I will absolutely return for my regular wash and set. One more thing: I prefer Alter Ego products and they don't use them there so I'll bring along mine next time. If I ever forgot them, I would still feel comfortable using what they have; my hair looks and smells FANTASTIC! Thank you Ruth!

Every 6months when I drag myself in for a cut, I travel across town to Blossom, here's why:

PROS:
Friendly staff that remembers my preferences
Great prices ($55 for a cut, rollers, and blow dry)
Practice Spanish - they are so nice and have no problem with my broken speech
Appointments are always available
Styling lasts for days! I kept my loose curls for 3 days and it stayed flawless
Perfect wash - multiple conditions and rinses

CONS:
Once I missed a train because I was "trapped" in the rollers chair...
Once in a while their credit card machine is down

TIP: Jocelin is the BEST! Bring $75 cash in the event their machine is down

Just got a wash, cut and blowout from Jocelin and I am so happy with the result. She did an amazing blowout, my hair has NEVER looked this good. It was also fast, I was in and out of the salon in under an hour, so its a perfect lunch hour spot!

I was in need of a good haircut and my friend recommended that I try Ruth at Blossom. Now I am very particular when it comes to my hair. I moved to NY almost 3 years ago from DC and would travel home to my long-time hair stylist for cuts. When I walked into Blossom yesterday, the staff was extremely professional and Ruth was very kind. (I was late and she still took me after they closed) Ruth did an incredible job on my hair!! I absolutely love it! I explained only once what I thought I wanted and she hooked me up! When I walked into work this morning, my co-workers were even swooning over the style and asked for her contact info! I would recommend Blossom to any fabulous woman :)

Love Love Love! This salon. I've been going religiously about 2 - 3 times per month since September last year. My stylist is Kathy. I usually get a simple wash and set with a deep conditioner. With my previous salon I would go home and curl my hair and then rewrap it. I don't have to do this anymore. My hair has grown and I no longer have breakage or split ends.

The staff is very friendly, the hours are convenient and Kathy apparently has magic fingers.

The only downfall is that they charge a fee for credit card transactions so bring cash. They are pricier than other Dominican styled hair salons in the outer boroughs. A wash and set with deep conditioner is $35.

They are my salon of choice.

I go to this salon whenever I need to go to a salon during my lunch hour. Kathy is great, very friendly and fast which is what I need since I go during lunch. I have done my hair with another lady there who wasn't as fast as Kathy but made my hair look great as well. I have curly hair which gets frizzy fast if not done well. When I have gone to Blossom's my hair has lasted almost a week, even if I have gone dancing. It is a bit pricey compared to my neighborhood's Dominican salons but a lifesaver in Midtown. I usually get a wash and set, they do not pressure you to do a deep conditioner.

Overall great staff and location.

Came into the salon for the first time today. I decided to try it because I had to kill time before a Yelp event.
I called ahead and Ruth gave me all the info I needed. When I actually went in, the smile matched the voice. Ruth was homely and warm, she actually started on me right away. I appreciate that because some salons will still have you wait just for the fun of it.
I LOVE that she asked about my hair care regimen and gave recommendations for different types of conditioners. Also, while putting in the curlers she asked about my hair style preferences ,
(this is important for the direction of roller placement)
When it was time to go under the dryer she offered me reading materials, another plus.
I appreciate having a salon in the city that can execute le "wash n set"
Price was 35 not back for midtown. Also, conditioners are 5 dollars extra.
Go see Ruth and all will be well.

Visited here while I was New York for my birthday. I was hesitant because I don't trust many with my hair but thought to give it a shot because of the good reviews. When I arrived, I was greeted and sent to the washing station right away.

Jocelyn was my hairdresser. She was very nice, a little funny and made me feel relaxed. I got a deep conditioner and blow out. She did an amazing job on my hair. I haven't had my hair straightened for some time now, so it was nice to see it in a different style.

I wish that I lived in NYC because I'd visit this salon more often.

I've been looking for a spot that is not afraid to tackle natural hair an I have found it.
As soon as I walked in I was greeted with open arms an they asked what I needed.
They do wonders, without even breaking
A sweat. They had me an my daughter looking like we just had a perm .

I came here for the first time today. I got a wash and set, deep condition and blow dry. Ruth was so great and she was even understanding of the fact that I had to run to get back to work. My hair came out beautiful!!! I got compliments on it as soon as I walked out of the salon. I will definitely be coming back! A hidden gem in Hell's Kitchen.

The stylists at Blossom work with all types of hair. I've been coming here since 1996 and when I come to NYC, this is a must! Natural since 2011, Ada and her team know what they're doing.

Oh! Em! Gee! Where have this salon been all of my life? After the unfortunate circumstances at DreamDry & Drybar, I was on the hunt for another salon. I started to look for something like a "Dominican salon". There's an infamous concept behind Dominican salons where you simply get your hair washed, have rollers put in, sit under a dryer then get it blown out and it changes your life. Unfortunately, My past experience with Dominican Salons haven't been the best. My hair is natural and thin and was usually damaged with the excessive heat they used and I also felt uncomfortable due to constant persuasion that I should get a perm. With this, I was hesitant to return to salon like this but I saw Blossom Salon. I looked on Yelp for any reviews that was similar to my situation and there was nothing but good things. So, I showed up on a weekday Afternoon. I was immediately greeted by a pretty stylist whose hair looked AMAZING (usually a good sign). She washed my hair then asked if I'd like rollers or blow dry. I told her that I'd prefer blow dry and she was Okay with that. My hair was washed thoroughly, conditioned with an amazing conditioner and blow dried to perfection. Oh! Did I mention they took my coat and hung it up AND there was a max of 4 women which made it so cozy AND Actress Nicole Ari Parker was there as well. It definitely was a perfect match with me and I simply can not WAIT to get my wash & blow dry again. Oh! & the blowout I received is STILL in tact AND my hair is not permed.. This is nearly impossible. I've officially found my new hair home. :)

The staff is Absolutely amazing here! I have been here twice for color and trim and I always have a great experience. Ruth is amazing! Very kind and professional staff

I've been going to Blossom for years. Just to be clear for some of you folks out there: (1) this place is constantly busy; they NEVER turn away a customer; reason: they do a great job; (2) have their prices gone up, darn straight! Why you ask, they have to pay rent just like the rest of us, and when prices go up in the economy, so do the prices at other places -- domino affect! Honest, it takes them a while to raise the prices, they are loyal to their customers as their customers are loyal to them; (3) the people that work there are friendly and are always that way.

At Blossom you won't find stylists who push products on you, they won't swindle you into getting highlights and dye jobs, the only thing they want to know -- WHAT DO YOU WANT US TO DO FOR YOU?

I've gone there with pictures, and pictures of hair styles and they will let me know, "do you really want your hair like this?" If I say yes, they will do it, and they will let me know the upkeep is going to be a lot -- 10x out of 10 they are right!

I've been going to Blossom for years, and I will continue as long as they are there!

I am a HUGE fan of this place, for many reasons. I'll list three. I can probably list more but I'm lazy.

1st - It's close to my job.
2nd - I am in and out within an hour and 15 minutes. This includes a wash, set, and blow out. All during the lunch hour (why eat when you can get a blow-out?).
3rd - I pay about $40 for the whole thing. Yes my neighborhood spot is half that price but this is soooo effing convenient. Why the hell would I waste half of my Saturday at a salon when I can do this crap on my lunch break....granted, I will be forced to speed eat my lunch that day or forgo it all together but who cares? Beauty over health, amirite?

Tip...Go at 11am. There's a good chance they can get you in and out in an hour.

Blossom Salon for the win.

I have been a client since I worked in NYC back in 2003! I moved back home in 2007 to the Providence, RI area and tried other salons only to take trips to NYC just to get my hair done! I always get complements on my cut and how healthy my hair is! They don't fry your hair like some others. I also feel heir prices are competitive after being on the low end for a long time. I can go to a similar salon here in RI and pay the same price but not look half as good! Blossom is the best!

The ladies here were great. I went for a wash and set and was in and out in no time. They are friendly and built conversation. Convenient location and great hours. My hair looked great and they made suggestions for hair care products and treatment.

great styling bargain
blossom stylists offer great service and styling at incredible prices. the salon is immaculate with a relaxed, low-key ambience and the salon staff are attentive and skilled. my hair has never looked better!

Great Price Great Service
I have been going to Blossom for 3 months now and my hair has never looked better. After using a much more expensive salon that damaged my hair, it needed exactly what Cathy gave it. The staff is very experienced and friendly. I reccommend it to all.

Great Salon & Bargain
I've been going to Blossom for about six months and my hair is healthier and longer than ever! Very laid-back, friendly stylists. I highly recommend this salon.

best hair straightening ever!
I've been going here for years. If you have curly hair and you want to go straight this is the best place in the city. Ask for Jocelyn, she's awesome!

Great price and professional, attentive stylists, my hair is revived and great!!
I have been going there for years. There not greedy like other salons in manhattan who overprice and ruine hair. Blossom prices are great and there really fantastic with hair. They don't force things on you to buy. All they do is give you great service, treatment etc. that is why they get repeat business. There core value is treat customers well and love their hair. At least that is what i think there thinking in terms of business atiquet and longevity.
They had me at hello and my hair is so healthyy - really healthy. The high end salons had destroyed my hair completely - Blossom revived it.
Heading there tonight.

Great salon at great prices!
I was in town for a wedding, needed to get a shampoo/style and was referred to this salon by a friend who lives in NYC. I have relaxed hair, but prefer dominican salons when I have access to them because of the great products they use and the styling techniques. Called just two days before the wedding and was able to get a Saturday morning appointment. The stylist (Jocelyn) was on time, friendly, professional and did a terrific job on my hair -- it felt like silk and looked amazing. I will definitely be going back here the next time I visit the city. If you want a terrific and reasonably priced hairdo, look no further.

The best salon!!!!!!!!
This place is the best. I went there with my sister who was getting married for a makeup and hair trial. I was so impressed by the work that they did on her that I decided to get a make over. When I say the best, I mean it. I have never been so satisfied. Ruth did my hair and makeup and I felt like a new woman. I had a cut and color done in just under two hours. Top it off with her doing my makeup I left feeling sexy like never before. Try this place, I swear by it.

I always come here when vacationing from Orlando..Great Job! From Dr. G

In NYC for the weekend, girls trip. We needed a blowout and Kathy took great care of us. I would definitely recommend. ?

First id like to mention how nice, friendly, and helpful all of the ladies at the salon are. I have to shout out the barber Kathy she makes me feel like a rockstar every week when I leave her chair. My high fade is cut perfectly and blended well into my beard! Highly recommend!! ?

There are not enough superlatives to describe my experience at this salon! I called after a bad experience at another salon and they took me immediately as a walk-in! Ruth was very attentive, professional, calming, charming and sincere. The atmosphere is very down to earth, not chi-chi! I loved the space and it reminded me so much of home. All of these elements lead to my amazing hair transformation! These ladies work magic!

Awesome place, great staff, very friendly and professional, Katy is my go to for what ever my needs are, but they are all professional and great at what they do, highly reccomended!

Fade Mohawk by Katy she the best very detail on point came out looking like baby highly recommend her has you could see for your self.....

Here are few great example of work done by one of our Master Barber Kathy. Kathy did a skin fade on both clients. And the other client have a classic hair cut...
