Snips N Clips — Local services in New York

I came in as a newbie walk in and Najia greeted me with a smile and asked me to come back in 45 minutes (I appreciated the time expectation management!). I am so glad to have found her and this spot! I got a very relaxing shampoo, and Najia listened to my fairly vague description of what I thought I wanted and worked her magic effortlessly. She gave a good trim to my very long hair, built layers in, and asked along the way if the length looked alright, how short I wanted the face framing, whether I wanted a style or product (but never pushed either)... clearly an expert at her craft and at customer service.

My cuts are always a value.. it takes a talented stylist to know how to perform a cut that can grow out with limited maintenance. As my hair grows, it always keeps style.
