Before starting the cut, I showed her a picture of what I wanted.
While Jen did create a nice cut, I grew tired of saying yes shorter., here on top, here on the sides.
And even at that, she still didn't cut as short as I asked for.
In the end it wasn't what I asked for, but will look ok for maybe a week or two, when I'll need another cut. I think her cut was based on my previous length and did not really look at my picture . not sure if I will return.
I did give a nice tip.

I walked in and politely asked that my hairdresser, Debbie, to wear a mask while cutting my hair and let her know that I have two young unvaccinated children at home. She adamantly refused and truly belittled and tried to make me feel dumb for asking her to mask up. Not only was she rude in regards to masking, she lost what could've been a lucrative client and provided the worst customer service imaginable. I am truly disgusted as to how I was treated. I don't care how good you are at your job, being rude and dismissive of a customer is not ok.

No where else I’d rather go ! Debbi at Ania Hair Salon is top notch! It’s more than just a haircut, it’s an experience! She’s so welcoming and friendly. Flexible and always makes sure she’s on the same page about what needs to get done before pulling out her supplies. She’ll snip off the perfect amount. I’ve had such horrible experiences with hair salons in the past but with Deb I can honestly tell her to do her own thing and she always leaves me impressed and speechless! Truly no one else I’d rather trust with my hair!

Debi is an awesome stylist in general and is also a miracle worker when it comes to fixing bad hair cuts. I recently went to a different salon and had the worst pixie cut of my life - I work from home and I still felt like I needed to wear a hat. In under 45 minutes Debi transformed my lumpy and misshapen hairdo it into a great pixie cut. Debi listens to you and will give you exactly the haircut you want. She's also a very nice person and I always enjoy talking with her. I cannot recommend Debi or Ania Hair Salon highly enough. It's a great salon!

Let me start off by saying that they are very accommodating! I called wanting a blow out (as I was in the area) and I had Rebecca helping me within 5 minutes of arriving. Rebecca was sweet and did what I wanted. Now just a little heads up for my curly haired girls.. I wouldn't really consider my hair super curly/kinky, and honestly I used to get relaxers so I feel as though that semi-thinned out my hair (reference pic of my hair is added). They added $15 on the normal charge of $40 for a wash and blow out due to my hair texture and apparent thickness. I'm not used to this extra charge

I've been searching for someone in the area who specializes in bob haircuts, when doing my research, I saw that Cheryl from Ania Hair Studio popped up. I called the salon the next day, spoke to the receptionist and was able to get an appointment later that week! I was so excited to get in as soon as possible. It was my first time at the salon, it was pretty, clean, and the staff was friendly. As soon as I met Cheryl she made me feel comfortable and confident in my choice for choosing her to do my hair. I am happy with the result and I feel beautiful. Thank you so much Cheryl, I will definitely

I'd love to say that this is one of the few businesses in Albany that is impressive but it isn't. They are a high-end salon with a low end demonstration of talent. I've been there twice, once for a simple blow out, which was flat and shapeless. Second time, I went for a single color and haircut. They have a Ouidad stylist for curly heads and they charge $100 for this "knowledge."
Let me tell you, not worth the money! The cut, nothing that I'd consider amazing and the way she styled it, horrifying. She put so much product in my hair I couldn't get my hands through

Ania Hair Studio gave me the most wonderful hair salon experience!! The vibe of the studio is so relaxed and chic, I felt like I was on a mini vacation. Cheri gave me one of my favorite haircuts/color I've ever had. She listened to exactly what I wanted and exceeded my expectations. Not only is it cute, but my hair was soft and shiny afterwards and didn't have the feeling of having too much product in my hair that I've had in the past. If you're looking to treat yourself to a relaxing salon day, this is the place to go. I can't wait to go back for a touch up!

Cheri is a true master and artist with hair! I am going grey and wanted to do it with style and flair, I had shown a photo of a silver/grey with purple highlights color job to several hairdressers but due to the level of difficulty no one wanted to try it (my hair is chestnut brown with 40% grey). Cheri shared my creative enthusiasm; not only did she create the photo, she did it in a way that complimented my style and skin tone without damaging my hair!!
Cheri... its absolutely gorgeous - THANK YOU :)

UPDATE- 11/20
I JUST got this haircut fixed. The stylist actually said "what the hell?" Rebecca cut ONE level of layers and then left about 75% of my hair my regular length. He was able to fix some of it and then get it into a more manageable shape. I don't know if anyone reads these reviews, but please learn from my mistakes. It has been a few months of wearing my hair up because I was too embarrassed after Rebecca's mess up. She does not know what she's doing. Please, please, please go somewhere else.

Was looking for a good hair salon with good professionals to fix my cheap Bob haircut from at 70 year old Italian gentleman. Found this place on Google search and got excited because of all the good reviews. So I called, asked for someone who is good with short haircuts. I was welcomed by Melinda, very nice lady.
She invited me into a room, I showed her few pictures of what I wanted the final result to look like. She said no problem. She washed my hair, then did really nice cut. The problem is that once she started BLENDING of the hair , she just kept on chopping and chopping and chopping. I ended

Debi is truly amazing. She understand thick curly hair and gave me the best ouidad haircut. I traveled over an hour because I could not find anyone near me to do it correctly. She also did a great job on my color. Debi was also super friendly and efficient. I would recommend her to anyone with any hair texture because she really understands hair.

Came in for Ombré/balayage few months ago, was told on the phone the price will be around $150. Ended up paying $350+ for the result that looked nothing like the picture I showed to the stylist there. The stylist was nice and kept the conversations going. The reason I decided to post this now is that I dyed my hair back to dark brown myself after 2 weeks and went to another salon today. The salon I went to today took way less time than Ania did, and the result was SOOO MUCH BETTER!!! The best parts are: nobody washed off my eyebrows while washing my hair plus the price that place charged me was

Very inconsistent service. I had a great experience with extensions that corrected a bad haircut and helped me work toward the lighter hair I was trying to get back to. When I had the extensions taken out, my stylist used a black permanent hair color on my roots which ruined all of the color progress we had made. I'm now a drastic, harsh dark color with muddy weird highlights and it's embarrassing! I was asked by others if it was a home coloring mistake.

Very clean and professional studio. Cheri is amazing with color! I came in with a full head of bad blonde, and she transformed it to a beautiful brunette ombré/balayage. She knew exactly what would go well with my skin tone and eye color. On top of that, she was so personable and friendly. This was my first time here, but I will definitely be back. Prices are reasonable as well for the service

This is the best hair salon in the upstate New York area. Unless you going to Manhattan you will never get type of professionalism. Cheri Voss is my stylist and colorist and I would go anywhere for her! I'm so grateful,not only for their standard of work, Sephora the kindness and friendliness of all the staff

First time back in two years. Ania's memory is anazing...she remembered me & assigned me to a master stylist. I have challenging hair -- fine and dense, like me lol!
Cheri, my stylist was a pro, I've never had a non-mirror consult before. She understood what changes I wanted to make, articulated it back and then cut and styled it giving it lift and flexibility.
I needed product and mi e was discontinued but Ania found a suitable substitute.
4 instead of 5 stars because it took 7 minutes to be greeted, with no other customer at the counter. Also, I'm used to the stylists escorting

I love this salon. The front desk is friendly and eager to help. They look to accommodate you and respect your time. TJ is my stylist. I'm very picky and want a stylist who's educated and up to date, and that's TJ. She's also very interactive and consults with you before doing anything. She's easy to talk to. I'm very happy I found this place!

This past Saturday I had an incredibly positive experience at Ania. The stylist who did my hair was Rosa. Not only was she down to earth, but she was able to take a collection of photos I brought for reference- along with my own description of what type of style I was hoping for-- and she totally aced it. She made the style work for my hair and to top it off, gave me lots of helpful tips on how to maintain and style it day-to-day.
Based on the time and care she took in completing my hairstyle, I am absolutely confident in recommending this stylist.

Services -- hair cut, color and waxing -- are (dangerously!) inconsistent. Go at your own risk.

I felt loyal to Ania even after eyebrow waxing removed a significant portion of my brow proper. Permanently. I told Ania and she did not want to hear it.
