Alibi NYC Salon

Koby is a hair genius/savant. I’ve been going to him for almost a decade! This last haircut he gave me was completely transformative especially being postpartum it was a beautiful new look and I’ve gotten endless compliments. Appropriately layered not textured keep it in mind to losing hair postpartum and he executed a look I could not have imagined and it’s flattering for my face, if I ever move out of New York City I will have to make a special trip just for this haircut and I’ve already told my husband lol:)

Koby is the best. I'm from Indiana and travel to NYC for work. I don't think I'll ever go to a different hair stylest ever again. There aren't words to describe how amazing koby is and everyone needs to check him out.

I went in and told the guy Kobe not to cut the long hair on top…. I just wanted to trim the sides and blend it up. I asked him on the phone and in person if he knew how to use clippers. He then did exactly what I asked him not to. Also he cut 4 inches off the top and said he didn’t. What’s worse is not only was the clipper a disaster and worst blend I ever saw he cut the top short and uneven. I told him I’m the best man in my cousins wedding on the weekend and he told me don’t worry. What a scumbag. The place is on the second floor and completely empty that should have been my first clue. STAY AWAY IF I COULD I WOULD HAVE LEFT A NEGATIVE STAR RATING I HATE THIS GUY

12/10 experience overall, BEST SALON
To start off this review I want to give background my hair was horrible going into any salon and I really needed a place that would fix everything from the flat shape to the color due to another overpriced salon sadly, ruining my curls. When looking for a salon I was intrigued initially seeing that alibi used hair care that is completely detergent free. This made me happy considering my hair is curly, temperamental and doesn’t react well to detergents, so I decided to call. I was able to get an appointment and I’m so glad I did. Initially going in I had a completely different idea as to how I wanted my hair to look, but I also did admit to needing help with what would look best on me and we decided that he could give my hair a much needed make over. All the products used smelled so nice and natural and felt extremely conditioning and lightweight on my curls. Not only did I appreciate the products used, my stylist Koby took the time to assess what was needed and consulted another stylist to make sure my hair would tone up snd turn out perfectly. When waiting for the dye to set, Koby told me I was able to go relax on the private salon patio, while I waited for a rinse, which is a rare find in New York and such a nice, comforting vibe. After washing, it was time for the hair cut; he suggested bangs, and a choppy, lots of layers cut, and I was open to any style so I let him roll with it. For my first ever set of bangs, I couldn’t be happier with the turnout. Koby really has an eye for choosing a style that not only fits your face, but your style and vibe. I can say with confidence that this was the best salon experience I’ve had thus far, and I never write reviews but this one was well deserved. I HIGHLY, HIGHLY suggest this salon, and thank you again Koby for the awesome hair makeover!

It was truly a wonderful experience, my hair looks amazing. I had very damaged, flat, streaky highlights, brassy, orange blonde hair, it was a mess! Koby gave me beautiful balayage while preserving the health of my hair and not using bleach. He also cut about 4/5 inches and gave me layers. I have honestly never been so pleased with a shorter hair cut. I feel completely refreshed and confident, he really takes every detail into consideration like even eye color. You will definitely feel the passion and creativity in Koby’s work. I absolutely recommend this place and will be coming back with my sister.

I love Koby and Alibi! I am very particular with my hair and what kind of haircut I want, and Koby always delivers! His haircuts last SO long - I always look like I got a fresh cut (I have longer hair) no matter how many months it's been that I actually got it cut by Koby - he's a master. I always feel safe in his hands!

This site was highly suggested by my buddies, so I picked it. When I stepped in, everyone was absolutely kind. My haircut was wonderful; it made me seem younger. Thank you a hundred books over!

This place is THE place to go if you are really trying to change your look. Kobi really listened to what I wanted and made great suggestions. 10/10 would recommend.

Efficient, consistent, friendly and all around great haircuts. We've been going for two years straight and my son his now 4.

I got my hair to this beautiful blonde color in only two visits, and my hair actually looks healthy. I wasn't 100% sure what I wanted to do, only that I wanted to go lighter but I wanted it to be low maintenance, and Maykel literally exceeded my expectations of what I thought my hair would look like, even though I already knew he would do a great job.

Flew in from Hong Kong & went to visit Koby for a cut & color. For a person that hasn't colored my hair in a long time and is super picky - I have to say that this is one of the best experiences I have had. Koby did a superb job with my hair cut and color. I was not expecting to go with the style I went with but I trusted Koby with his creative hands and he proved himself right. I plan to schedule my hair cuts with Koby when I fly in again. He is worth the wait! Thank you KOBY! Incredible experience.

After washing it; I don’t love it. It has no shape and looks just a limp as before. Wish I would have known I had to buy all the products and everything else to get a haircut I’m not embarrassed to have. At least it winter and I can wear a hat until I can have someone fix it. Turns out I’m very disappointed for a $400 haircut. I pay less from a celebrity salon here in LA and get a better quality cut.

Hands down Koby is simply the best! I have been looking for a hairdresser for so many years until I discovered Alibi. Koby is highly skilled with his craft, very passionate about hair and has amazing personality. If I have to leave New York I will travel to get my hair done by him without even thinking twice. He is a genius.

Koby is the best! I had a haircut at another salon which was a big disappointment, Koby managed not only to fix it but made it look amazing! He listened to what I wanted but he also gave me his honest opinion of what suits my face and he was sooo right!
I am going back for my hair color and looking forward to it! Thanks Koby

I absolutely love what Koby has done with my hair! After years of coliring my hair, it looked dry and over processed. Koby, brought my hair back with his amazing hair line products, I love my color and cut too! My hair has not felt and looked this good in years!

One of the best salons I’ve ever visited in NYC, from start to finish! Upon arrival, I was greeted by friendly staff who offered me a complimentary drink, so I endulged in a glass of champagne.

Afterwards, my hair stylist, with whom I booked the appointment (Koby) sat me down and advised me on the best cut for my hair, while taking into consideration all of my needs and wants. Thereafter, he did his magic and cut my hair exactly how I had imagined, reviving it and adding style to it.

After my cut, I proceeded to the salons coloring station where a friendly stylist created the perfect color concoction for my hair via a single process color. The results= fabulous. Very natural looking and close to my natural color but added gloss and depth.

Overall experience was A+, I am a difficult client but the staff at Alibi really took the time to listen to me and even taught me which products to use and how to style my hair. Definitely worth the money and I will definitely be a return customer!

DO NOT! The owner booked an appointment over the phone for my niece for a $40 treatment. He asked her if she wanted a blow dry but did not tell her they would charge her an additional $70 until checkout- at which point they charged $110- almost 3x the cost of the treatment. The owner refused to admit this was absurd and said she should have read the website. Horrible business. Take your money to any of the more reputable salons down the street who do not try to trick children.

I went there a few days ago. I was expecting the best after all the reviews that I read. Maybe I just had bad luck but my experience was awful. First the girl on the phone that took my appointment was very rude. Then I was been told the price for a hair colour would be around 250.and it ended up to be 425? !? ! I mean there is such a different! And I could even accept the amount if the job done was good but that was the worst part. They completely messed up my hair. They bleached it for too long and now it’s super dry like burnt. It was supposed to be a light blonde and now I have my hair blue and white? Can you imagine for someone to walk around this way? I wasted 3 hours and 400 dollars to have my hair dry, blue and just horrible! Terrible experience! This is the worst place I’ve been in. I could have spent 50 dollars in a cheap salon and they would probably made a better job. I wouldn’t recommend this place to my worst enemy. Stay away from here if you’re looking for someone with experience and passion. Maybe they know how to wash and dry but that’s all about it. Disgusting.

They charged 100 for a blow dry when my hair is very easy to blow out. Website says 55 and up. Blow dry was fine but I could have made it look the same had I done it at home. I live near the salon, like my hair, get it blown out all the time all over NY, and have never been charged like that before for just a blow out. With tips, it was 125.

If you like to have a perfect haircut ask for hairstylist name G! He is perfectionist! He has took his time and delevered perfect haircut! Even yesterday getting ready to Office Christmas Party 5 months later of the haircut Its still very easy to style and its still has great shape! This is what I called High Quality Haircut!

Igor is amazing! My hair has never been so fantastic- I don’t even have to style it! Highly recommend!
