Vince Smith Hair Experience is always a pleasant 3 hours of my life. Several years ago, Vince finally solved an on- going problem I have been having with my hair coloring process. Since then, I am always happy with the way my hair looks and feels. The staff is pleasant, helpful and attentive. I rarely have to wait more then a few minutes before Vince is ready for me when I walk in the door, and once the work begins, it always flows smoothly and I am never left waiting for the next step to begin. I appreciate the fine work do... read more

The salon is lovely! It has a great vibe.The people who work there are all upbeat and friendly. My stylist took time to talk to me about my hair type, the look I was hoping to achieve and what his thoughts were, before sending me over to the sink. During my hair wash, I got a great scalp massage. Super relaxing! My cut and blow dry came out great! Will definitely return. Another bonus -- the salon is open late! The Vince Smith Hair Experience is a gem of a find in NYC. Highly recommend!

The Vince Smith HORRIBLE Experience!!....not only does Vince NOT know what the hell he is doing, his "salon" is filthy!! The salon should be in Harlem on 125th Street. The rest of his staff is fine. Vince and his tool shed/salon are totally out-dated. I've spoken to some of his hairstylists as well as a former stylist and receptionist and they've told me some very disturbing things about Mr. Smith. The Board of Health and IRS will be checking in with him pretty soon. I DO NOT RECOMMEND ANY NEW CLIENTS GO TO THIS SALON!!!!!!!... read more

Excellent service and product! – I have gone to Vince Smith Hair Experience for about 6 years now. My children all get their hair cut there and I am literally stopped on the street with comments about their haircuts...thanks Fatima! (Also, free bang trims are included with a child's haircut!) Today when I went to Vince for my color, I expressed that I wanted some color in the back. He agreed but said I would be charged for a full head instead of a partial. I expressed that I had had a full head last time and hadn't had color... read more

IT IS AN EXPERIENCE!!! – I first started out as a model getting my haircut by Jamie. As time progressed i went to my original barber and immediatley noticed the diffrence in the haircut. I am now and will remain a client of the The Vince Smith Hair Experience. I want to thank Vince Smith and his staff for the courtesy and professionalism which i have been shown. The only sad thing about this comment is that my old barber is out of a job. Besides the fabulous haircut, the atmosphere itself is so calming and relaxing. Once aga... read more

AMAZING SERVICE, MY COLOR IS AMAZING! – I recently decided to switch stylists for my highlights because my old stylist was moving away. I went to Vince after reading great things abut him and boy was I impressed! My highlights are stunning and I keep getting compliments from everyone! The staff was extremely friendly and welcoming. I was immediately offered a drink upon arrival and felt really at home. The salon is hip and had great music playing! Loved it and will definitely keep coming back. Also I am now hooked to the Mor... read more

High Price Low Budget Salon – I have been to several solons over the years, and despite bad reviews, as all salons have them, I have never been pressured by a stylist as I was recently to "write a good review" about The Vince Smith Hair Experience. I was told that they had received some poor comments and could I "write about my positive experience". Not only is that tacky, but for the price that I pay to get my hair cut each month, that is not what I expect to get asked. If people have a problem with the salon, they should b... read more

NEVER AGAIN!!!! – I used to go to Vince regularly around 10 years ago--but had to find a new place out by where I live. Now I am back downtown and was so phsyched to have the time to get back to the salon only to find they are not what they used to be--or even a distant cousin. This place is gross. I got a full head of highlights (my color is usually commented on all the time--it just always gets attention) After Vince's staff got their hands on me, its actually 3 or 4 different colors, and not in a flattering way. I don't b... read more

Business response:

This is a fraudulent review. On and around 3/30 when this review was made, I was personally acting as salon receptionist/front desk manager. I have a 100% money back guarantee of all the work done in my salon. If a long-lost client returned after many years, I would either personally do their hair or co-consult on the color. If a client comes in to express their dissatisfaction, I always go above and beyond to satisfy the client. This is a fraudulent review. Vince Smith, Owner.
