We cut for New York models and for the four-year-old two doors down, in the same room, on the same day. Editorial shape, honest color, and nobody rushed out of the chair.
Nadia Reyes spent fifteen years backstage at New York Fashion Week before opening a salon four stops from where she grew up. The technique came with her; the attitude did not.
That means editorial-grade cutting and color from people who genuinely do this work at the top level — and a kids' corner with a dinosaur cape, a barber room that takes Saturday walk-ins, and a front desk that will tell you when you do not need the expensive thing.
Rather than a menu of ninety services done adequately, we do a shorter list extremely well — and each one has a stylist whose whole career is that thing.
Sculptural cuts, blunt bobs and runway styling from a creative director who spent fifteen years backstage at New York Fashion Week.

Priya Raman paints balayage freehand and builds blondes over several sessions rather than forcing them in one afternoon. Every new color client starts with a free consultation: a strand test, a written quote, and an honest conversation about upkeep.
If a color will cost you more maintenance than you want to give it, she will say so before you book, not after.
Color & balayageCuts, color and styling from the last few months — editorial, bridal, barbering and the Saturday-morning kids' queue.
You book the person, not just the salon. Each stylist keeps their own calendar, their own hours and their own list of services.
Nadia opened the salon after fifteen years working backstage at New York Fashion Week, where she learned to build a look that survives a runway, a photo shoot and the walk home. She cuts shape first — the sculptural bobs, blunt fringes and lived-in layers the salon is known for.
Marisol has styled more than four hundred weddings across Queens, Manhattan and Long Island. She runs the salon's private bridal suite, works from a trial that pins down every detail months ahead, and travels to the venue when the morning calls for it.
Priya is the salon's colorist and the person other stylists send their hardest corrections to. She paints balayage freehand, builds blondes over several sessions rather than forcing them in one, and will tell you honestly when a color will cost more upkeep than you want.
I came in with a picture from a runway show and Nadia told me exactly which part of it would work on my hair and which part would not. That honesty is why I keep coming back.Editorial client, Long Island City
Marisol did my trial in February and my wedding in September and the hair was identical both times. It survived a first look in the rain and four hours of dancing.Bride, Sunnyside
My son used to cry about haircuts. Kayla put on a cartoon, took her time, and he now asks when we are going back. Worth the trip from Jackson Heights.Parent, Jackson Heights
Woodside Hair Style Salon is a demonstration site, so these quotations are illustrative rather than real reviews — which is also why no review markup is published on this page.
Pick a service, pick a stylist, and the calendar will only ever show you the times that are genuinely free — including the long unbroken stretches a balayage needs.
