    Review:
    I went to the salon on Broome St, and had Susan as my stylist. I was growing out a drastic chin length a-line for over a year, and my hair was pretty long at this point. I had explained that I needed a lot of layers because I wanted more volume, and that certain parts of my hair were always flat. I had also said that I needed a stylish haircut, and not something boring. In the end she did a great job. I still have an interesting shape to my hair, and best of all she fixed all the problems I was having. The No-poo and One Condition left my hair softer than it has ever been in my life. I'm not kidding, and it lasted for like 3 days even though I used other products to cleanse my hair. I am totally trying that combo out soon. I had been using the Devacurl styling products before going to the salon, and they turned me onto some new ones, and showed me new ways to use the products. No one was snooty to me in any area of the salon, and I wasn't forced into having awkward small talk with my stylist or shampoo girl. Susan was a total professional, really sweet, and listened to what I wanted. I am very happy with my Devacut! I will totally be going back.

    Review:
    The result was beautiful, but not very impressive. The salon ‘experience’ was wonderful. Robert was friendly and listened to me. He was very careful to keep my length, but in my opinion could have taken a bit more risks. As a result my haircut was average. After a couple of days, I realized it was a little too choppy and uneven for me. It was also a very fast haircut, for $150, I felt it could have been more care driven. I didn’t even realize it was over, but to his defense he added more cuts and layers at the end, at my request. It felt more like he cut my tips, than really style a cut fit for me. The washing and styling experience was good, and the deva products are amazing. You lie back on a very comfy bed/chair privatized by a sheer white fabric that suspends from the ceiling; the head massage is relaxing and soothing. They tutor you on how to take care of curly hair and recommend products and applications to improve hair quality, but sometimes I wished the young lady would be quiet so I could fully enjoy my experience. I probably should have said something, but she was so nice… If you know how to handle your curly hair and make it look good, I’m not sure you can get too much from Devachan, except for a few tips you could probably get online, and a chance to try out their wonderful products. I would check out all my options before committing. But if on the other hand you are frustrated with your curly hair, and have the money to spare, then I highly recommend them. The styles I saw while there seemed conservative, although one girl at the front desk had a more contemporary style. So maybe I don’t really know, might depend on the stylist. I hope this helps on your decision.

    Review:
    Hello, I just wanted to let everyone know that I had a great time in NYC at Devachan over the weekend. My stylist was April. She was so kind and wanted to give me the hair-cut that I had always envisioned :) After a previous stylist had refused to cut as much length as I wanted last time, I was a little worried that April would also tell me to keep my hair long. But, she listened to what I had to say and gave me a wonderful shape! I would recommend her to anyone looking to try a new stylist at Devachan- she is very talented and I will be sure to book my next appointment with her. Also, she gave me so many new tips on how to care for my hair I wish I had brought a notebook with me! She was very knowledgable and helpful. Thanks, Devachan!

    I had been going to Devachan for 3-4 years while living in NYC. For the most part, I like their concept and usually had a pretty good haircut. I love their products - their gel is the best I have ever found and I still order it. I have to agree with a previous review however, that eventually it became a negative experience. My stylist at the time, Keith, acted like he was doing you a favor to cut your hair and responded to my questions about my hair with smart ass comments. I waited forever for styling and it was incredibly expensive. If you go make sure you work with someone who takes are of you.

    WOW!! Although I went to the one located on Broom Street, I can definitely share the same great experience everyone else has had here on naturallycurly.com. As I walked into the zesty lemon scent, I witnessed a room full of curly girls! I was amazed!! Susan was great, she transformed my hair, she brought it to life! They carefully introduced me to their products and had me literally feel the way my hair should be like. Susan was like a fine artist, she sculpted my hair with her sharp cutting technique. It was beautiful to sit in front of a mirror and watch the way your hair comes to life. I bought the Deva One Condition which is great, I'm going back to buy the whole line!!! I changed the way I see hair, I will never blow dry my hair ever again, like Lorraine Massey said, curls are not a trend, it's a lifestyle. Luckily for me I was able to meet her, she complimented by hair and loved, even took a picture of it to add it to her book, I was so pleased and she is a beautiful person overall, and her book is wonderful as well!!! Devachan is a life changing experience, I learned to embrace my curls and to accept myself the way I am, and I am proud I'm different and that I belong to a community of women that share the same feeling I do!

    Review:
    After a lot of research, I decided to try this salon and was very happy with the results! I was coming in with a botched cut that was grown out and oxidized color that really needed correcting. Rob did a fantastic job reshaping my hair to give it body and allow it to maintain its length. Esmerelda did a fantastic job with highlights. She offered realistic advice (stopped me from trying to go blonde too soon)and I was so impressed with how nicely the highlights had turned out. I only wish I had did my homework and came to this salon earlier... I think the prices were not too unreasonable, as I pay only a little less in other salons, but end up dissapointed. I feel confident in returning to this salon.

    my cousin had been saying for awhile I needed to cut my waist long curly hair for awhile and when I finally agreed the 1st thing she said was: were going to a place where the curlies go! we wemnt to DevaChan salon and showed Michael what I wanted and he proceeded to cut off 11 INCHES and not only did he give me a cut I LOVE he showed me how to style and maintain it healthy which thanks to him is full and bouncy. I made an appointment to see him soon! The salon itself was awesome with a cheery vibe and everybody refers to you by name not Ms. which give you a more friendly feel.

    Hi everyone! Well, I took the three hour drive after being inspired by the Curly Girl book and products to get my hair cut at Devachan. The experience was very nice and the majority of the staff were all very polite and very friendly. Jackie was my stylist, and although she insisted on keeping my hair longer than I had originally intended, the shape of my hair is so much better than it was before! I had a great time and the staff showed me so many tips to keep my hair looking great. Though a few months have passed and my hair is in need of a cut again, I'm not sure if I can afford another trip at this time. I look forward so much to the next time I can make it down. Until then, I won't let anyone touch my hair other than the staff at Devachan :) They are talented, knowledgable and very kind. I recommend them to anyone who has had a bad cut in the past- take a deep breath and relax- you will be in good hands!

    Miracle workers! I've just made the decision to grow out my relaxed hair to my natural curls and I'm really excited to continue this process with these two stylists. I went in for a consultation and they fit me in for a cut and style right away. They actually managed to style and cut my hair in a way to bring some of my natural curl back to life. So much so that my natural roots almost match the rest of my hair. I was terrified I'd have to cut above shoulder length while growing out the relaxed but I got to keep my long hair and enjoy a seamless growing out process! These two women really worked wonders on my hair. If your thinking about growing out your relaxer, try this salon! They are very experienced in making the process as painless as possible.

    Lord knows, it's been hard finding the perfect fit when it comes to salons. I've been to several places that cater to the curly-blessed, but have been unhappy with the cuts mostly. Jeffrey was perfect! Every time I go, my hair gets healthier and my curls become more and more defined. He and his assistant gave me such great tips on how to take better care of my hair, especially because I have patches on the crown that don't want to curl much at all. I'm not as into the DevaCurl no-poo shampoo, it's a bit drying for my hair (love the One Conditioner though instead of shampoo). I'm so glad a friend suggested I go!

    I went to the Devachan salon on Broome Street in NYC AND Julie cut my hair while Chole washed and styled it. It was a great experience. The salon was busy and Julie was busy too. A little girl came back from getting her hair washed and Julie had to just to a quick touch up on her before she finished my cut. Although they were busy, I never once felt rushed or that Julie felt stressed. She was very sweet and nice to talk to. I highly recommend Julie. She and Chloe did a great job and I'm so happy with how my hair turned out.

    This salon is amazing! I don't like to spend a lot of money on haircuts, but I can honestly say this was worth every penny. Melissa was my stylist, but numerous others spend time with me teaching me about my curls and how to make them perfect. Every single person I saw walked out of the salon with perfect frizz free ringlets. If you have curly hair and cannot afford to use Devachan all the time, at least try it once. The time, techniques, etc. are really worth it.

    I didn't know what to expect, this being my first ever 'high end' salon experience. It was amazing! Before getting started, Rosie sat down with me and discussed my 'hair history'- how its been cut/colored in the past, what products I use, how I style it, etc. She then proceeded to tell me that everything I had been doing was wrong (I needed to hear that!), and that my hair had so much more potential. After assessing how my hair naturally lies on my head, she began to cut it she left it dry, and went through and cut each lock of hair individually. I could already see the difference within minutes. Then my hair was washed, conditioned, and left to dry. When it was dry, she explained to me step by step how to fix and finish my hair. I feel like I have a whole new head of hair, and have completely crossed over into embracing my curls. I HIGHLY recommend Devachan, and Rosie. It wasn't just a haircut appointment, it was a learning experience, and worth every penny!

    Let me preface this by saying that I was super nervous before going to Devachan. My usual experiences with salons consisted of getting my hair blown and ironed straight and cut. Even so, it had been a loooong time since I'd done anything to my hair. I went to Devachan today after not having my hair cut or styled in years and left looking and feeling like a million dollars. Julie was fabulous and explained everything she was doing, and she explained how I should be caring for my hair. Jose shampooed my hair and did also did a great job of explaining the best way to care for my hair. All in all, my experience at Devachan was wonderful. I would most certainly recommend Devachan and especially Julie to anyone and everyone interested in getting a good curly styling.

    Review:
    You round the last bend of the curved staircase and your steps falter as you realize you've been swept into another reality... the Planet of the Curly Girls. What more validation do you really need than a broad white space filled with gorgeous women who are crowned with every imaginable color and texture and length of curly hair? And you immediately know that you could be one of them. I was coming off 15 years of foil highlights and THRICE-weekly blowouts. My hair was destroyed from bleach, silicone products and daily sessions with the flat iron. I carried a butane-powered iron in my purse in case of rain or humidity. And I could have taken my kids to Europe on what I spent on my hair in a year. But dammit, I had the Marcia Brady hair I'd always wanted. Now, I am willing to spend quite a lot on my hair. My feeling is that you wear your hair EVERY DAY. Why wouldn't you spend what it costs to make it look fabulous? And I am not a person who likes risk, so I've always gone to top salons, reasoning that the best would work at the best (which is true.) Over the years, I've been a client at Brad Johns, Louis Licari, Peter Coppola, John Frieda and Frederic Fekkai. Nowhere did anyone actually suggest I embrace my curls. But I'd reached a certain age where you start to think about streamlining your operation. And then I happened across an online feature about the Devachan Salon. Giving up the fight did sound appealing, but if I was going to buy into the Zen of Curly Hair, I wanted the best, so I Googled my face off and Ana emerged as the clear winner. When I called and was told that she books two months out, I knew I'd made the right choice. In person Ana is the epitome of curly-haired perfection. She is so exotic and beautiful it makes your heart hurt, and just being in her company is comforting and affirming. She will cut your hair dry, curl by curl, and if it takes an hour (as did mine), so much the better because you will never feel more the focus of another's person's attention than you will when Ana is cutting your hair. The wash and set are magnificent. They're well-described in other posts, so I won't go into detail, but the products are unique and smell like herbs and fruit and flowers and the pinning and scrunching techniques are easy to do. The great products cut down on the clutter in your bathroom-- they're all you need and work out to be less expensive than your current habit of buying new things to try and then to abandon. (You thought no one was watching, didn't you?) I left that first day looking like a celebrity and haven't had a blowout since. I get daily compliments from strangers, and indeed, I'm known for my curly hair. I started a new job not long after my first visit, and when people come into my office and see pictures of me pre-Deva, they express bafflement over my fight to suppress my curls. The only way that visit could have been improved was if I could have left looking like a BLONDE celebrity! Easily remedied: before I left I asked Ana to recommend a colorist-- she named Esmerelda, and I booked that appointment before I ran for the subway. (Has anyone mentioned how conveniently Devachan is located, right on the corner at the Broadway/Prince station? I'm just saying.) A four-week wait for Esmerelda appointments, ugh; but the best is worth waiting for. It was worth it-- a month later, Ezzie painstakingly hand-painted each curl and I had streaky blonde bouncy hair of the variety seen mainly on magazine covers. And I got to know another lovely and charming girl with an interesting background. Why are you still reading this? You should be on the phone. Someone could be the line with Devachan right now, taking YOUR life-changing appointment!

Tony, washed my hair with no-poo, and gave the greatest head massage ever. They are not pushy about their products, but do tell you about them. I find the products to be very good, and makes my routine more consistent than having a myriad of brands. Overall, the price was worth it.

    Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant. I felt welcome and taken care of all 3 hours I was there. Marvin did a lovely cut that actually brought some life back to my hair and Esmerelda was a genius with the color (not to mention a lovely person to chat with). I almost cried at how good it looked. I have been a Ouidad salon devotee for 3 and 1/2 years. But last year, Morgan (my stylist) moved to California and handed me off to Ayanna. Long story short, my color got progressively sloppier and sloppier and the general vibe at the salon has gotten really snooty. So a friend recommended Devachan and what a world of difference! I will never go back to Ouidad.

    I've been going to another curly hair salon in NY but have been incredibly unhappy. In the humidity of the New York area, I started to look like Rosana Rosanadana. So it was Devachan or I was getting a razor and giving myself a haircut a la Britney Spears. The receptionist recommended an appointment with Jackie when I told her I had thick, wavy, coarse hair. Jackie spent time talking to me about what I wanted, made recommendations and then cut my hair dry. I know nothing about cutting hair but was starting to wonder why no one ever tried to cut my hair when it was dry. That seemed to make the most sense. Jackie told me how to take care of my hair and how to style. The styling is fast and easy. My hair looks fabulous. I'm still skeptical that I will never wash my hair again but use No-Poo instead but I'm willing to give it a try. The salon is beautiful, the chair in the hair washing, oops non-hair washing, part of the salon is the most relaxing I've been in and the products smell heavenly. I'm hooked.

    I've been going to Devachan for more than a decade (trying not to date myself here). I remember when Carlos was but an assistant to owner/stylist Lorraine Massey and gave me my first no-poo shampoo. Have to say, I've never received a cut from Carlos, but I know he's received training at the side of salon founder Lorraine. I actually had a French stylist in DC who cut my longish curly hair dry while he rotated around me in a chair as I stood up, so finding Lorraine/Devachan was the best thing to happen to me since moving to NY. I've never been disappointed. My hair is healthier than it's ever been. I've gotten compliments on it as my temples have greyed, from everyone including women and college-age men. Given the beautiful cut, the incoming grey just serves as natural and well-placed highlights. The business has grown to include two huge salons in the same neighborhood; I'm still one of the chosen (and lucky) few to get my cuts from Lorraine -- though I know she has less and less time to do this -- but I can tell from the growing list of customers and thriving business that her army of curly-hair stylists must be doing something right.

The way he highlights also grows out very naturally and I can sometimes go up to 4 months between colorings because the highlights blend so well into my curls. I always come out of there looking gorgeous and totally natural. The next time I go to see Rick, I am going to try doing a cut with him.

    Carlos was sweet and fun and did a pretty good job with my hair. I wanted a little more pieces in the front but he was respectful of length and I was 85% happy. Problem is for a $100 haircut you want to be 100% happy. So I'd recommend him if you have big bucks because he's good and above decent but for absolute perfection perhaps elsewhere. Denis did my color and it was pretty good. Practically perfect. His technique with no foil left me damage free and he worked with the color I already had in my hair (which was botched by the way). We came up with a plan for my hair! He's always booked and not so friendly but worth the $150.

    Got my hair cut yesterday. Mitzi was fabulous. She talked me throught the entire process and taught me how to duplicate it. I did my own hair today after a 14 mile race and it still looks great! I wouldn't ever gamble on another place!

    Review:
    I am young, and was never taught to handle my hair, so it was knotted and matted all the way through. Some of it was almost like dreds. The second Julie took a look at it, she freaked out. After calling about five people over, they got all the knots out, but that barely lasted a couple days since I got it cut. It was barely even a cut! I look the same way I did when I came in.

    I read "the book" (Curly girl) years ago and got great results. however i could never find a stylist that can cut my hair right. yeah i admit i was being cheap and stubborn and didnt want to go in and spend the money, but it was SOOOOO worth it! OMG! my hair is just looking so hot, especially since they introdduced me to their "No-poo". Julie was just great, she immediately knew what i wanted and did what she could to save whatever length of hair that was left. I am a convert. I dont care if my rent it unpaid or i can only afford eating crakers and hummus, I WILL GET MY HAIR DONE!

    Review:
    I have been blowing my super-fine hair straight since i was 12 yrs old. I've always hated my hair, and hated that the only way to make it look 1/2 way decent was to blow it out. Recently after a few lazy days I realized I have some wave to my hair. A friend of mine got her hair cut at Devachan a few months ago, while I watched her baby in the waiting area. I was amazed by the cuts all the women were getting - everyone walked out so glamorous! So I decided to see if they could do something for me. I called a manager and asked who would specialize in VERY fine hair with a lame little 1/2 wave. They suggested Judy. I couldn't be happier!!! She said that my one-length hair wasn't doing anything for me, and asked me if she could cut a bit shorter and layer to bring out the curl. I asked her not to go too short, but said I was open to anything that would make my hair look better. I love it! I feel and LOOK like a new person! Morah, who cleansed and set my hair, was INCREDIBLE. I told her it was my first time there, and she was very detailed in explaining all the products and how to care for my hair, and how to set it. I'm now a curly girl! No more blow drying for me!I couldn't be happier, and HIGHLY recommend Judy. She helped me to love the hair I have!

    Review:
    On a whim I walked into Devachan this week and spoke with Larry a colorist there about highlighting my curls. OH MY GOSH, Larry is a colorist dream come true! My highlights can finallyi be seen (he paints them on) and he's open to experimenting with color like I am. I plan on working with him again and again as I make my way through the color spectrum.

    Review:
    I own a salon in Washington, DC. I just returned from the "Curlaboration" class at the Devachan Departure Lounge. Even though I have my own technique for cutting curly hair, I was so impressed with the Deva Concept. I learned a ton of information on cutting and coloring. It will definitely take me a while to gain comfort cutting curly hair dry but I have started applying the concept to some of my clients. Although the end result still needs perfection, they seem to be very happy. I love what the salon has taught me.
