I knew I was in for something special when a friend recommended this studio as a wonderful, safe space. It was that along with the best cut and color I've ever had. Sho gave me the best haircut for curly hair - it's so vibrant. And James, where do I start, he really listened to me, saw my insecurities and made me feel beautiful. He is so warm and kind and incredibly talented. I'll be a fan and customer for life.Services: Blowouts

James dyed my brows and missed a part of my right eyebrow. He also gave me chunky bold highlights when I asked for "an extremely subtle babylight". Upon leaving, I asked if I could come back for a correction if the highlights and brows still looked weird to me the next day-- and James said yes. The next day, I emailed to ask when I could come in for a correction. James had his staff reply to me and tell me that he didn't want to do a correction and wouldn't be doing one. He also recommended an eyebrow tweezer (eyebrow aesthetician) during my appointment-- he gave me her name several times, but I couldn't write it down because my head was in the shampoo sink. He said he'd remind me of her name while I was checking out after the service, and then he forgot to do that. I called the salon after the appointment to ask for the brow specialist's name-- and the receptionist was exceptionally rude to me, and wouldn't disclose the name (even though I had already been told it several times). Do not go to this place. They're unreliable-- they don't keep their word about anything. And they don't listen to what you asked for during the consult.

James and his team are amazing. So skilled, funny and also incredibly authentic! The team at the studio have the unique gift of creating a beautiful welcoming environment whereby - inspire of yourself - you are drawn in to introducing yourself to fellow clients and initiating conversations. Where else does this type of community exist whilst also receiving the best hair salon expertise in the business? Only at James Corbett Studio. Amazing! I'm grateful to be a client.

The best hair salon in NYC. Sho must be part wizard because he cuts my hair to perfection every time and fixes my past decisions to go elsewhere (note: if you find a hair artist you love, just don’t go anywhere else. No where else will match.)Also, to note, the people here are lovely, authentic and listen to what you want as well as offer their very helpful opinion. Could not recommend more

Tina has been doing my color for the last couple of years and I love coming here. Whether it’s for a single process or highlights, the color is beautiful and I feel great walking out of the salon. She is very talented and happens to be a truly wonderful person. So happy I found this salon!

Terrible experience at the salon most recently. The older lady with the foreign accent that was doing the hair cut was plain rude to clients. For one, she barely greeted clients upon arriving. I wasn’t even asked to sit — I had to find a seat myself! It was evident upon arriving that I was not welcomed there. When she finally approached me she proceeds to call my hair THIS and brush through it aggressively. I was appalled by the remarks she made of clients hair: “your hair is dry, your hair is damaged, your hair is curly (aka THIS).” I also sensed some level of racism in the air. When I left, I was pretty darn relieved. I have never been to a salon and experienced such atrocious treatment.My goodness.

James and his staff are amazing! The most talented haircolorists, cutters, and stylists in Manhattan. I always feel renewed when I go there. I'm highly sensitive to chemicals which makes color challenging but James is an expert in that area and carries color, shampoos, facial products and makeup that are organic and/or free of common irritants.

SIMPLY THE BEST! James is known as the GLOSS BOSS for a reason! My hair is super glossy and healthy thanks to James Corbett Studio. Before it was way too dark around the face and a dull color. Within a few weeks James had my hair completely transformed! Thank you James! I also just had my hair layered with Sho who did an amazing job. Professional and a perfectionist. 5 stars all the way!

James Corbett Studio is one of the friendliest and most professional hair salons in NYC. I’ve been a client for years. Oddly the review prior to mine is completely erroneous- the woman was writing about another salon- those accusations are mis-founded. I would highly recommend.Services: Haircut

I started coming to James Corbett Studio just before the pandemic hit and I returned shortly hair salons were allowed to operate. There are a trio of people that have made me smile and my hair look so much better and they are Tina, Sho and Antonello. Tina my lovely and wonderful colorist has taken my damaged and frizzed out hair to make it once again look normal. I don't wear it twisted in a pony tail, and I don't look like a Tabby cat that has just gotten out of the rain. Sho is a hair cutter perfectionist. My cuts last long and look great and he carefully considers what looks best for my hair type and face ( even with a face mask). Donatello washes and blow drys my hair in such a way that I wish that I had somewhere fabulous to go to. All and all this place is a true gem with such wonderful people who seem to love their jobs and are fantastic at what they do. Please visit if you can, you will be so happy that you did.Services: Hairstyling

I live in Charleston, SC but have been having my hair cut and colored at the James Corbett Studio for the past 7 years. I FINALLY got back there a week ago after a long 15 months! OMG! Tina Mulryan did her magic with my color and my cut is awesome! I've already had multiple compliments on the color and cut. Thank you!

STOP HARASSING CLIENTS WHO ARE UNSATISFIED. Your constant response to my reviews show the type of poor subpar customer service your salon provides and makes me question these "stellar" reviews you get. Probably your friends and family. Your salon is horrible, your customer service is horrible, you are a horrible person who harassed clients who don't agree with you or have something bad to say about your below average cuts and services.
