The Best 19 Hair Salon in Poughkeepsie, Dutchess Country

Mary Brown M.T is amazing I was really impressed. Her hands are so gentle. I am very tender headed and I didnt feel a thing while she was braiding my hair or after. She was very polite and welcoming. She offered me a beverage and snack. After sitting there with her I felt very comfortable. The atmosphere very is amazing. M.T blessing too you and your business. You definitely have a new customer.

Antoinette MT is simply the best. She takes pride in her works and is literally the sweetest. She has braided my daughters (6 year old) hair 4 times now and mine as well and it always turns out amazing! Shes gentle and patient and her prices are great.

Okithe Esti So let me just say that my daughter and I have been seeing Mt for years @ her sisters shop in the Bronx on Boston road. Her sister recommended MT since my last girl moved and it’s been the best recommendation since. Firstly her energy is kind, she’s soft spoken and gentle. You show her a picture and she gives you exactly what you ask for, she doesn’t rush you and takes the time consulting with you to give you exactly what you want. Then she has the most gentle delicate hands, if you’re tender headed she’s perfect. She takes her time with her craft but it still never feels like your in the chair too long. If your a perfectionist like me she’s your girl. Worth every penny + tip. I haven’t found anyone like her with reasonable prices so now I take the trip to Poughkeepsie(almost 1 1/2) because she the only hands I want in my hair and daughters for hair braiding. If you live in Poughkeepsie or near she’s the one NO other competition!!!!

Mishka Smith It’s was so nice that have someone local braid my hair and be satisfied with the outcome M.T did a wonderful job on my braids and I will definitely be going back .

cherizol sendie She is professional and get started on your hair upon arrival. Will definitely come back on my next visit to Poughkeepsie.

Deb Lucas Calm and pleasant atmosphere. Staff well trained in many cuts

Kim Thomas Awesome as always

MIguel Garista Amazing place! It’s very clean and elegant! I got my hair cut by Skylar and she did an amazing job! She also cut my sister’s hair after. She took her time to try to style my sister’s hair the way my sister had shown her in the picture and she ended up loving it! Skylar was a pleasure to have as a stylist and I would definitely recommend her to anyone who’s serious about their hair!

Dana Ritter I loved walking in and feeling so welcomed and at home. Then to see the layout and big windows to allow natural light in was beautiful! Danielle is beyond amazing at what she does. She’s made myself and my mom feel much more confident about ourselves. We’ll definitely be back.

Alison Rozzi I had an amazing experience at textur! I went in for highlights, and I couldnt be happier with the results. Danielle took the time to listen to what I wanted and made sure the color looked natural and flattering. Highly recommend this salon to anyone looking for top-notch service and beautiful hair!

Sarah Khan-Prine Wonderful stylists, especially Danielle. This is the first salon I have been to where I feel comfortable going back again and again. I also brought my daughter for her very first facial. They were kid-friendly and now my daughter is booked for a series of facials in the future.

Victoria Relyea Excellent experience all around. Easy to schedule an appointment, great location, and fantastic customer service. Danielle did a full hair history and consultation and I walked out with exactly what I asked for.

Chloe Mort Kat did such a good job on my hair, I asked for pink, blonde and brown chunky highlights and she did exactly that and matched the inspo picture PERFECTLY! She was SUPER thorough with the bleaching process and communicated everything that was going on to me, she was understanding and flexible which was amazing. She also was really good with sectioning my hair precisely the way I wanted! I highly suggest seeing Kat for any of your hair dying needs!

Tracy Bray I have had nothing but excellent service here. Kat is wonderful. She’s been my stylist for years, and I’ve seen her evolve from a stylist at someone else’s salon, to the owner of her own salon she is now.

Joy LePera Love this salon!! Kat is the absolute best stylist!!!❤️

Amanda Gasparro Once you go Kat, you won’t go back. Since 2018, Katarina has been solely responsible for my hairs health and happiness and all I can say is, the proof is in the pudding. This woman is a witch doctor of all things hair and has a lifetime client with not only me but most of the individuals she cuts hair for. The main reason that Katarina is so successful is because she will ONLY do the right thing by you. And if that means arguing with you for the betterment of your hairs health, she will stop at nothing. Katarina is incredibly well educated on haircare as this has been her focus and her passion for 10 + years. She continues to learn new tips and techniques and shares her knowledge with her clients so that they also know how to properly take care of their hair. If you are looking for a great hair dresser with added humor, entertainment and refreshing honesty, Katarina is your girl.

Regina Bulson Katarina has been doing my hair for 7 years now and there is absolutely no one else that I would trust to color, cut, and style my hair. When you sit in her chair, it is clear that Katarina is a very knowledgeable stylist who cares about achieving your hair goals while also protecting the integrity of your hair (MAJOR win). I genuinely appreciate her dedication to her craft as she is always figuring out ways to better meet the needs of her clients and give them the hair of their dreams. The second you walk into her clean, welcoming, and bright salon, you are greeted with kindness and all smiles. If I could go to her salon every week, I would. Seriously, getting my hair done by her is therapy for me. Do not waste your time elsewhere!

Jody Danna I have seen Alyse for over 10 years now. She also cuts, highlights my daughter’s hair. She is amazing. I get compliments on my highlights and the color a lot. I trust her with what should be done to keep my hair at its healthiest. I have also had the pleasure of seeing Savanna who I would recommend for keratin treatments for the spring and summer humidity. Both of these artist are kind, caring and truly make you feel like your a friend.

Wendy Hof I have been looking for a hair stylist since I moved back to New york. I am so happy to feel that I have found one. The receptionist was so accommodating finding me an available appointment. The Stylist who cut my hair listened carefully to what I wanted and then shared what she thought would work. I am very happy with the haircut and Im definitely going back again. Highly recommend this place. Looking around at others getting their haircut and all you could see was wonderful stylists listening to their clients and clients leaving happy and looking gorgeous in their fresh cuts and styles.

tima Garcia I did my hair with yadi was best experience. I love the result even not what I look for but she did her best to keep my hair healthy cause my hair really dark hair thank you yadi

Desiree Ferguson Yadi is amazing! I made an appointment for a consultation prior, and she sat with me and asked many questions and really listened to my issues. I have been bleaching my hair for years and I felt the yellowing blonde was aging me. I was nervous to change, but I was completely confident after meeting her. After we spoke we made an appointment. I had my roots and a partial highlight. I was beyond thrilled. Beautiful salon, professional, reasonably priced. Beyond 5 stars

Irene Barbuto My daughter and granddaughter both get their hair done by Diana and have for years. They will not go to anyone else!

Sheryl Smikle I have frequented many local hair salons over the last 20 years. I can say honestly say Poughkeepsie does have some talented hair stylists. Nevertheless, I am a discerning customer and I want the best hair conditioning, maintenance routine, and styling. The latter is key as I have a highy visible and very corporate position. Ed is a master cutter, innovative stylist, and hair solution genius! I enjoy his services, broad talents, and expertise. He continues to enhance his craft through training and offers these new techniques to his clients. Every visit is better than the previous one!

Regina Stroman Nice salon , great service, been going there for many years. He has several hair stylist to do all types of hair.

Charlene S Well respected and polite salon .staff is wonderful, And they follow guidelines to covid

Carol Poillucci Love this place. Been going for years. Its very comfortable and friendly. They treat you like family!

Viola Anderson My favorite hairdresser. He has style and understands my gray thinning hair. Ed is fun and I enjoy my time while getting my hair right.

INDIA BOYKINS I never felt so good leaving a salon as much as I did today it’s my birthday and Marisa made me feel nothing less than a princess I love her vibe I love the shop I love how she do hair my man couldn’t stop look at me my hair came out exactly like the picture just a all around good experience she has officially earned herself another customer I won’t be going anywhere else

Dayane JM Marissa did such a wonderful job with my braids that my niece wanted me to take her too and she loved hers as well. She’s the owner of the salon, very personable and makes you comfortable. Her place is also nice and clean.

Unique Diva1t I am very pleased with my new hair style (custom Lace front wig ). It looks very natural and I have been getting compliments from the moment I stepped out of the salon door. Even my Husband took a second look and gave me several complements. Not only are the Hair stylists amazing at doing hair they have provided a comfortable environment to get a beauty transformation. They are friendly and professional.

Rhonda H Very professional atmosphere good vibe in the shop the owner been doing my hair for almost 3 years always feel like brand new when I leave. The owner always willing to do a quick fix when need to be. New Wave is the place to be you’ll never be unhappy when you leave

Angela Brady Culture house is amazing!! I’ve been going to Kayla and she has absolutely transformed my hair in the best way. She gives me the most bright and beautiful lived in blonde. I haven’t gotten my hair done in over 6 months and people still ask me multiple times a week if I just got my hair done. Not only is her blonding the best but she knows how to cut hair too! I’ve always had my hair the same length and never tried angles/ layers. I was hesitant but she slowly introduced them to me and I simply have never looked better. Also gives a mean blow out. I’ve referred just about all of my friends to Kayla. In the photos I only got a haircut, but my blond still looks so fresh and healthy!! I Cannot recommend her enough.

Olivia Krug Do you want the best blow out of your life???? Kayla is the one to go to, okay!!!!! She has transformed my hair and my confidence no lie. I couldn’t recommend this salon enough or Kulture Kayla

Courtney Morley Kayla is the hair queen. Her cuts are truly amazing and not to mention the life changing blow outs. I did my first color with her at my last appointment and I’ll never let anyone else touch my hair. You’ll never leave her chair unhappy!

Ali Johnson I’ve been getting my hair done by Kayla for years. She is the only person who is able to make the layers in my hair so visible, bouncy, and dimensional the exact way I want them. Also, everyone I know who gets a blowout by her is changed forever after the first time…truly the best. She has become my entire family’s hairdresser very quickly! All the girls at Culture House are so professional and talented. I highly recommend any of their services and staff; we all know how important it is to be able to trust whoever is doing your hair and I can assure you that you’ll be in great hands here!

Ciara Olmedo The salon vibe is just spot on. It’s filled with girls, girls and you just feel it when you walk in. The owners and hairstylists are strong women who empower other women to feel their best! It’s more than just a salon they created a community where women can feel good and leave looking amazing. I would highly recommend them.

Amanda Novoa I have gotten my hair highlighted off and on for 20 years. The BEST highlight I ever got was with Nebal when I switched to this hair salon. Before, people couldnt even tell I got my hair done. But with Nebal, the highlights stood out and were the exact blonde color I wanted. She took the time after the add some curl to my hair. She also explained the easiest way for me to curl my own hair. The atmosphere is calm yet fun. I highly recommend this salon!

Xinran Li Nebal did an amazing job on my hair!! She is very talented and highly skilled at her job. She is a lovely person to work with, most importantly, she turned my dead hair alive again! If you are looking for a place for coloring around hudson valley area, I highly recommend here. Im so glad I found her :)

Debora Beckmann Bella is excellent. She offers suggestions, listens and makes you look beautiful! One of the best colorists Ive ever had.

Anahi Garcia Loved my experience here. Mary was amazing. She listened to what I wanted and gave advice without being pushy. She also let me see my hair after the cut but before blow drying it which was super helpful since it gave me a more realistic look at what my hair would look like daily. Then she styled it gorgeously! Also, no wait at all. 10/10 recommend Nebal’s!

Hunter Cameron Petro I had a fantastic experience with Kara over at Alchemy Hair! Im the constant victim of a bad haircut, so I have a little bit of "haircut PTSD" at this point and was very nervous about getting another bad cut. Kara took the time to do a full consultation with me before taking out any tools to ensure my comfort and that we were on the same page. I really appreciated the positive attitude and professional experience. She gave me a great haircut, and Ill definitely be going back!

Chloe Mort I was super nervous coming into the salon because I haven’t had a professional haircut in 3 years, last time I got one from a different place I really wasn’t happy with the results. This was my very first time coming here and I’m happy to say I will 100% be coming back, I was so comfortable in the space and Kara made sure I walked out with a hairstyle that I really loved. My hair feels much lighter, healthier and overall just better now. I walked out with so much confidence in my hair. Again, I will definitely be coming back in the future. Kara is someone you can absolutely trust to do your hair properly! It’s also very affordable, I have shoulder length wavy hair and I got a wash, cut and blow dry for $50, I highly suggest coming here!

Cindy C Today was my first time seeing Kara and it was a great experience! She took the time before we started to talk to me about my hair and ask questions about what I wanted. After she washed my hair, we spoke again and she explained what her thoughts were and what she planned to do and asked if I was okay with her ideas. My hair turned out beautiful- just what I wanted! Kara was just lovely to chat with! I will definitely be a returning client!

Inge McKie I wish I had found Kara years ago! The experience with her was fantastic. Before we did anything, she took the time to talk with me about what I was hoping for. I was looking for a good pixie cut and she 100% delivered. She even took time after the cut to demonstrate different options for how I can style my hair. I left feeling gorgeous, confident, and like the very best version of myself. I cannot recommend Kara highly enough!

Alexandra Patricia My experience with Kara is always so amazing! She has a lot of knowledge when it comes to hair and is always sharing new tips and products with me to keep my hair healthy! I highly recommend coming to Kara, you will not regret it!

Jennifer Gramuglia Jamie is truly exceptional! She not only makes me feel beautiful and valued, but also ensures that scheduling and booking any service is a breeze. Her punctuality is impressive, and her warm, friendly demeanor makes every appointment a delightful experience. I always look forward to my visits with her!

Elizabeth Katt When I moved up here from Long Island 10 years ago, I was frustrated to find I could not get my hair cut and styled the way I wanted. For the first two years, I had to drive to Long Island to get my haircut done correctly. Until I found Jamie! She listens and gives you exactly what you ask for. I have, and will continue to, recommend her to anyone looking for a talented and professional hair stylist.

Danielle Fenichel Have been going to Jamie for cuts and color since she opened. Excellent at what she does. Highly recommend!!

Veronica Rivera Shes clean, organized and friendly. She does exactly what you want. Great with kids too. Well worth it.

Joanne Mcpherson Couldnt be happier! Have never left disappointed. So grateful for Jamie, shes the best!!

Tashai Salmon Janita was courteous and respectful of my time. My hair looked fabulous when she was done, got so many compliments. I would recommend her to everyone. See you soon for my next hair style hun

Mali Runk I am not someone that is easily impressed and let me tell you, I was so so happy with my hair! I couldn’t stop smiling the whole way home. Janita is very good at what she does.

Marie Forestieri This one is a keeper. By far the most talented hairstylist I have ever been to. Clark pays attention to detail and to what your preferences are. He previews your hair before it is washed in order to see what is working or what areas he can improve. He listens and his cuts are meticulous. Clark is the only stylist who blow dries my hair to perfection. I love hair cut day with Clark. BTW he is also a great conversationalist!

Martha Towler I am so ridiculously fussy and no doubt have annoyed other hair stylists. Clark never fails to deliver anything short of perfection because he gets it. He listens to everything you have to say, strives to understand. He is sooo patient. Pays meticulous attention to detail, figures out what youre going for and gets you. I havent had hair care (he shares his vast knowledge and experience with you) and cuts this good since I went to extremely high priced salons in Manhattan. Wow, we got lucky with him here.

Carly Forestieri I can always rely on Clark to listen and deliver exactly what I want. I really appreciate the time he takes to sit and talk with me and play around with my hair while it’s dry before he begins to wash and cut my hair. Sometimes I come in knowing what I want, sometimes I don’t know what I want and he helps me figure out what I’m looking for. Clark is a true artist and scholar when it comes to hair, I trust him more than I have ever trusted a hairdresser in my life. I have moved an hour away since meeting Clark and I continue to only have my hair cut by him, he is worth the trip!

Adriane Ortiz I love love love Molly!! She has excellent..professional skillz! I would recommend her %1,000,000!

Kat McManus-Fayo Molly is the best! You wont be disappointed, I promise.

D G Rochelle is a true artist. She goes above and beyond to make sure you feel fantastic when you leave her salon. It also doesnt hurt that shes very kind and funny as the day is long!

Andrea M I got the Brighten Me Up Sunshine with Erin!! The name of the salon sold me! Im so happy I found Live Free & Dye & Erin! She is the best & my daughter likes getting her haircut by her too!! I highly recommend Erin!!

S. A. V. Really happy with my haircut, Brittany understood the assignment and I left satisfied as a curly girl. She’s really cool vibes, easy to talk to and overall the salon was really cute!

Donna Redding I was referred to Brittany by my daughter and she was certain I would love her. Brittany is truly the hairstylist Ive been wanting my entire life. She had great recommendations and was easy to talk to. My hair came out great! I love the booking online feature as well. Looking forward to my next appointment!

Tara Magnotta Another great appointment with Erin. Always love my highlights and cut. Beautiful salon. Relaxing atmosphere. Friendly staff. My daughter also is a client of the salon with Brittany and her hair always looks fabulous after her appointments

Brittany Farrell We love Live Free & Dye Salon. The salon has a clean, modern, and inviting atmosphere. Brittany is a wizard with full highlights and blonding services, and that’s coming from someone with dark brown hair who is now an ashy blonde. My son has also had his hair cut there and she is so patient and accommodating. When I first came in as a new mom I was able to bring my baby and had a space to breast feed him during processing! Above & beyond customer service.

coffee n. Frances did a great job with my highlights, I think they turned out great! :) The price was reasonable, $210 total with a 20% tip, $150 for the highlights and $20 for the haircut. The first 2 pics are immediately after, and the last 2 are 3 weeks later. I definitely recommend buying their Color Revive product because the color does fade. Overall Im satisfied and I would go there again :)

Giselle C. Im very happy I choose to come to this salon. The staff was very welcoming, friendly, and very professional. Me and my daughter came for a haircut, wash and dry and it was a great experience. This is our new favorite beauty spot.

Kristy Lopez Frances is the best hair dresser I have ever had. She does amazing work and we love her. Me and my family have been going to her since 2013 when she was at her Bronx location. I drive over an hour just for her to do my hair and j wouldnt have it any other way. Would totally recommend to anyone, especially for people with naturally curly hair.

Kat I cannot say enough good things about these ladies. My first time going I was treated by my daughter last minute and was totally unprepared. At that time my hair was almost like dreads because I dont wash it often when its in its natural state and thats what keeps it healthy but it definitely curls up and can get like dreads if I dont manage it. Well the lady that washes hair put in that work! I felt so bad because I knew how knotty my hair was but she busted through it. And it was the best scrub ever, God bless her hands. The lady that blow drys just had me stunned. I could not believe the transformation. My hair was long and soft and bone straight and shiny and just beautiful. So I just returned on Valentines Day and it was late, my apologies I didnt look up their hours but I called and they graciously welcomed me to come. It was around 5:45. They close at 7. I was there until 8 so they stayed late to finish my hair. As Ive mentioned before, my hair isnt easy and takes work. They also had other clients they were assisting. Again, my hair came out beautiful. Soft, shiny, bone straight, a complete transformation. They are the sweetest ladies and they really take their time and do a thorough amazing job each time regardless the conditions. I love this place and I am going to consider trying out many of their other services they offer.

Wheeler Stacie Danielle worked wonders on my hair for a total transformation. Best wash Ive ever had in my life. My husband loved it and he usually never even notices when I get my hair done. Highly recommend!!

Latishe Thorpe I’ve been coming to this salon forever and have always felt at home within it. The stylists have always been warm, welcoming, attentive, and abreast of all the newest hair trends and techniques. My children now sit in their chairs and they are engaging and patient with them and they NEVER disappoint. If you want great treatment for your hair and as a person then this salon is your next stop. The ladies here are the standard for best service and best practice. They’re awesome!

kailani fernandez had an amazing experience! danielle truly brought my vision to life when i thiught i had done too much damage to my hair. i did a color and curly cut and felt so beautiful once the service was over!! she does awesome work and educates throught the appointment. i cant wait to get back soon!

Saige Berry salon dae has been doing my hair since i was 7 years old and they have taken such good care of me! recently i have been getting sow ins with danielle and it’s has been the absolute best experience ever! my hair went through so much heat damage from me straightening it almost everyday in middle school, so we did a bunch of protective styles and treatments and now my hair is almost good as new! i could not image getting my hair done by anyone other than danielle!
