YFA Lux NYC — Local services in New York

Let me start by saying this… YFA Lux NYC had me at “all-inclusive braiding salon.” From the start, the booking process felt almost too good to be true — you simply send a message, ask for availability, select your style and preferred hair color, and that’s it. No deposit, no stress, just ease. I was already impressed.

I’m from Long Island, and let me tell you, we don’t have anything like this out there. So when I arrived at the salon, I was immediately blown away. The space is beautiful, the energy is peaceful, and the braiders were already hard at work — stretching hair and preparing for clients before we even sat down. Let me say, the fact that they prepare the hair before you arrive, even without a deposit, shows how much care and trust they put into their work. That kind of dedication deserves recognition. 💋

Now let’s talk about what truly sets them apart — the service includes human hair and ACV-washed synthetic hair, all included in the price. This alone is rare. And for my ladies with sensitive scalps, this is the place for you. 🖤

From the moment I sat down, I was offered water and snacks — a small gesture, but it really made me feel cared for. Then I was taken downstairs for a wash, and that’s when I knew I’d made the right choice. My braider, Nedeye, was kind, gentle, and incredibly skilled. After a quick blow dry, she got right to work — moving with precision and care. Every part was neat and intentional.

What stood out most to me was that it was one braider per client. No crowd of people rushing through your hair — just focused, personal attention from start to finish. It made the service feel private, peaceful, and truly luxurious.

I’ll be honest, I was having a tough day that morning, juggling phone calls and emotions, but my braider was so patient — giving me space and understanding. Then, to my surprise, the owner Rose personally called me during my appointment to check on how everything was going. I told her the service was amazing but admitted it had been a rough day. A few minutes later, a glass of champagne was brought to my station 🥂. That small, thoughtful touch changed my entire mood and made the experience feel even more special.

When my braids were finished, I was speechless. They were flawless — neat, sleek, and perfectly done. This isn’t your average braiding salon; this is Black girl luxury done right.

My friends were shocked when they heard the price, but I told them — “Where else in NYC are you getting a wash, blow dry, human or ACV-washed synthetic hair, snacks, champagne, and 24-hour service all included?” I’ll wait. 😌

YFA Lux NYC is more than a salon — it’s a self-care experience. For the women who value quality, grace, and luxury — this is your place. I’m already looking forward to my next...

I cannot rave enough about YFA Lux NYC! From start to finish, the service was absolutely impeccable. They only book two people at a time, which creates such a calm, luxurious, and intimate experience — no crowded salon vibes, just pure pampering.

Snacks and drinks were provided (for FREE!), and the best part? No deposit required — which is unheard of these days. My appointment included a wash and blow dry, the braiding, and premium human hair in any color or curl you want — all included in the price!

I chose a gorgeous mix of 27/30/613 with a water wave curl, and I’m obsessed. The hair is stunning — super soft, no tangling, and even after swimming in the ocean and the pool, it’s still flawless. I’ve never had braided hair that held up this well and looked this luxurious.

If you’re looking for a top-tier, no-stress, all-inclusive braiding experience that actually lives up to the hype, book YFA Lux NYC now. They really thought of every detail to make you feel like...

I’ve been to YFA lux 3 times now, and each outcome has been great. The staff and owner, Rose, are very professional and attentive to your needs. The salon is extremely clean and well designed and the provided snacks are an extra treat. I’ll also add that I’ve had anxiety around braiding my hair because my edges are so thin but I’m always amazed by how much my hair has grown and my edges are in tact when it’s time to take the braids out. The price can be off setting, especially if you’re not used to today’s pricing for hair (I was going to the barbershop for 5 years) but I keep coming back because the results are top tier. They also charge by length, wash and blow dry your hair, and provide all of the hair which I love. It’s worth every penny and I still tip at the end because she more than deserves it. Try it at least once and I’m sure you’ll...
