I got my hair cut and colored by Bob for the first time and he was super professional and respectful. He did an amazing job and I feel beautiful. The rest of the staff was lovely as well. Highly recommend

I went to Pixie for a cut and to fix my yellow blonde hair and Bob helped me out with a partial foil to fix it. It took a lot of time and he was patient with the whole process, and it came out wonderfully. I felt like a whole new person when I looked in the mirror. He has so much experience and it really shows. Thank you so much Bob!!

Ashley has been cutting my hair for probably at least 7 years, and she does an amazing job. She also does the best natural brow wax Ive ever had. She is so great!I just had Kevin style my hair for my wedding, and he did an amazing job. He really nailed the look that I was going for, and he was a blast to talk to. He kept me calm and happy the morning of my wedding. There was an issue with my wedding appointment being double booked, and the owner called me to work it out and comped me for my inconvenience. I was blown away.Absolutely love this place!

Came in to get the same haircut I got last time, but had a different stylist. Brought the same source picture and asked for the same haircut, only a half inch longer than in the picture. Got a completely different haircut that wasnt what I wanted, and now its too short to fix. Im not a very femme person and ended up with a very feminine haircut that I hate, that falls in my face constantly, and that requires styling, because they stylist thought it would look better on me than what I asked for, I guess? Anyway, I wont be going back ever again and cant wait for this to grow out long enough to get it fixed somewhere else, probably for less money. Id only go here if you dont have something specific in mind and are okay with someone else deciding how you should look. Hit or miss with stylists, the first cut I got here was great, but this was such a big miss, Im so upset about having to spend so much on a haircut I despise and having to not look like myself for at least a month, thank goodness hair grows. To be fair, its a good flattering haircut, the place is clean, the stylists are super nice. But if you cant get the haircut you want, what is the point?

I’ve been to see Kevin twice so far and he is an absolute gem! My color has been utter perfection both times and my cuts have been amazing as well. It feels like he completely understands my vision and executes it better than I could have imagined. In addition to his talent he is so personable and great to talk with while he works! I can’t wait for my next, and hopefully many future appointments!

Great service. Polite staff. Very clean premises. They made me wash my hands with soap and water at the entrance before my haircut. They had had sanitizers for people to use. All the staff had masks on. It was crowded at all. My hair wash, hair cut, and blow put experience was good too. Kevin was really friendly and polite. No complaints!

This was my first time going to this salon, and I had a great experience. I was getting a blowout for an event, and I have super thick & frizzy curly hair. Kevin was so great, and my hair turned out beautifully. 10/10 would return again!

I have been seeing Bob for a little over a year now, and he always does a great job cutting and styling my hair! I always leave his salon chair feeling refreshed! The salon is also super clean and taking all Covid protocols seriously. I never feel concerned being there! Plus, huge bonus, most of the stylists were already vaccinated when I was in there a few weeks ago!

I have been going to Bob Engel at Pixie Salon for close to 3 years now and he is my absolute favorite. Weve taken my color from natural, to red, to platinum blonde, back to red, and my cut from a super short pixie now growing out into the mullet of my dreams. With every idea Ive taken to him, he has executed it perfectly. He is also just a delightful human to be around and I always look forward to seeing him. I have sent my husband and friends to him as well and everyone has been super happy. Cannot recommend him enough.

I booked with Maura through a friends recommendation and I had no idea the level of service I was about to receive. Maura is the first stylist that has ever listened to what I wanted and been honest with me about what I needed. She made a plan with me and then followed through. I left with beautifully cut and styled hair that made me feel amazing. The salon is cute, clean, and professional and I felt right at home. I will never go anywhere else after my experience here. Do yourself a favor and book with Maura!

It’s not everyday you find a salon opened past 5...especially on a Sunday!! I had a hair emergency and needed my hair tended to as soon as possible...to my surprise, Pixie Salon was open! I called first thing in the morning and was able to secure a 4:45 appointment with stylist, Maura. She was incredible in every way! Amazing cut, style, conversation, personality, etc. Staff went to amazing lengths to make me and customers prior feel safe and secure during Covid. Beautiful glam salon. I recommend everyone give them a try!

I have been having my hair done by Bob Engel for several years. Bob always does a fantastic job. He cares about his clients and is very passionate about his work. Bob is both a scientist and an artist in his approach to hair.

Clean and beautiful environment. Kevin is super nice and accommodating, everyone in there seems friendly and doesnt make their clientele feel inferior for messing up their own hair with box dye! :)

Kevin was wonderful, i knew my daughter would like him as soon as we met. She tends to be very shy around strangers but warmed to him immediately. She absolutely loves her hair, i surprised her with a color appointment and her hair is now purple, red and pink. I think its given her a huge confidence boost.

Courtney was AMAZING. Everything I could ever hope for. Just had 19” (I hope she sees this...I measured it and it was in fact 19”) cut off and got a bob. Her customer service is perfection, I felt I could totally trust her, and I LOVE my new bob! Did I mention this was my first time here? So happy, thank you Courtney!Also, the vibe here is professional, it’s very clean, and extremely courteous. Plus, it’s in a nicely renovated older building in Albany 😍💁🏼‍♀️

Maeve made me cry she had me so happy with the results. I went blonde so it took some time, but she was super sweet and patient and detail-oriented. Along with the awesome atmosphere of the other staff and the whole salon? Theyll be seeing me again:)

I just started going to Pixie and am so glad I did. Both times I saw Courtney who is the best. She did an amazing job and I am loving my new bob. She pays attention to detail and took the extra time to look through the pictures I brought and couldn’t be happier with the results. Looking forward to my next appointment. Would highly recommend.

What an absolutely beautiful, charming and relaxing salon. You just feel so comfortable and happy while you are there. The entire staff is kind and helpful, but I cannot say enough good things about my hair stylist, Bob. I so highly recommend him. His talents are amazing - he is a genius with color and the layers he gave me are gorgeous. Hes super down to earth and has a great sense of humor. Very easy to talk to.

As a college student and I could never find a salon that I trusted in Albany. I decided to give Pixie a try after I found Soads instagram. She did an AMAZING job. I got a color and cut and she exceeded my expectations. She made me feel so comfortable and my hair makes me feel more confident. I cant wait to go back to her!!

Review №39

I paid $155 for partial hair color ( black color for few gray hair) and a trim today. Bob did a good job but for the price, I dont think Im coming back. My friend at work had highlights and a hair cut at a different salon, paid $135. Its where Im going next time. Two stars for the coffee served.Hi Kathleen,I asked for a trim (make the ends of my hair at the back even). If I had a haircut, it would have been fine. And no, I dont think Im going to refer your salon to a friend.

Absolutely AMAZING! First I went to Bob with messed up color from another salon and he fixed it, sooo many compliments. Second my hair has always been frizzy and unruly...Bob suggested a Keratin treatment, well let me tell you my hair is silky smooth, manageable. Excellent friendly service, wsrm and friendly.

Worst experience ever and my hair is ruined. I had to go to another salon to get it fixed. The stylist Eva was rude and extremely unprofessional! I do not recommend this salon she has no clue what she is doing.

Over priced for a bad trim. The stylist kind of had an attitude because I just want wanted a simple cut. He smelled like coffee, cigarettes and bad cologne.
