The curl cutworth thedrive.

I had a great experience with Bovane! He is the first stylist I've ever been to for my curls and I was right to trust his expertise. He took the time to discuss my concerns and build a plan to achieve the hair I've always wanted. I am so excited to go back for my next appointment. To anyone hesitant about getting their curls cut, I couldn't recommend him enough.

My hair is super curly and I like it short, unfortunately I was never happy with my hair cut. This past two day I found the men of the hour, who gave me the best hair cut ever.

I first went to Bovane in 2020, after Covid kept me from my stylist at Deva Salon in NYC. At the time, I made the brave choice to do the big chop—cutting off all the dye and starting fresh with my natural grey. He guided me through every stage, from rocking a Mohawk to now having long, curly, silver hair that I absolutely love.

He’s truly an artist with all hair lengths and textures, and especially with curls. When I felt weak and thought about coloring again, he gently encouraged me to stay the course. Because of that, my hair is now healthier, fuller, and more gorgeous than ever. Each cut grows out beautifully, and I get endless compliments.

On top of his talent, he’s kind, thoughtful, and much more reasonably priced than the NYC salons I used to frequent. He’s the best ever—a rare combination of skill and heart. If you’re looking for someone who will not only style your hair but also help you fall in love with it, he’s the one.

Even though I live in Mexico now, I always make sure to book an appointment with him whenever I’m in New York—that’s how good he is.❤️‍🔥

💇‍♀️🌟 Highly, highly recommended!

I have thick curly hair and my last hair cut was a complete disaster. A friend told me about Bovane and wow! He's amazing. He is not only fixing the disaster with the first cut, but it looks fantastic! I'm getting so many compliments! He took his time and explained everything he was doing and why. He suggested a different way to part my hair and style it and it looks great!

Bovane gave me the best hair cut, ever. I have curly hair and have always struggled and really, avoided getting cuts/maintaining my hair. I’ve seen supposed curl stylists, but the cut and service were nothing compared to Bovane. He took the time to explain to me what and how and gave me a cut that was flattering and just made my hair happy. Thank you Bovane!

I have short curly hair and have had an impossible time finding someone who knows how to cut it. Bovane did an amazing job! This is the best my hair has looked. Bovane took his time discussing what I wanted and took pictures while he was cutting so we could discuss best options. I highly recommend him.

I recently relocated to the Hudson Valley and no longer wanted to make the commute to Devachan where I'd been getting my hair cut and colored for 18 years.

After doing an exhaustive search for curly hair specialists, I came across Bovane's website and incredible reviews. Every review mentioned how talented he was but just as importantly, how he really listens to his clients and works with them to achieve the look they want.

I knew right away this was someone I wanted to go see and would feel comfortable letting cut and color my curls.

The lovely Amy reached out to me asking if Bovane could call me to discuss what I was looking to do at my first appointment.

He and I discussed my hair and I sent a picture. He immediately came back with an idea for my base color which I loved.

The day of my appointment, Bovane spent another 15 or 20 pictures going over shade swatches with me, something no other stylist has ever done. I felt so well taken care and knew I was in the hands of a real artist and someone passionate about his work.

He turned my faded color and highlights into a beautiful brown base with such subtle but lovely highlights that brighten me up. He cleaned up my curly hair, gave it shape, life and body again. My curls are springy and bouncy like I haven't seen in such a long time.

Bovane is a total professional but an equally kind, funny and lovely person to spend 2 hours with.

I'm so glad to have found him.

If you have curly hair, Bovane is the man to go to!! Before Bovane, I went to dozens of stylists and before that my mother cut my hair. No one including my mother has been able to cut my hair in a way that highlights my curls. It's not their fault, curly hair isn't taught and it can be a bit tricky to deal with. But my hair has suffered as a result of the mistreatment. I also had half my hair bleached with a different stylist and it really messed up my curl pattern. Bovane recommended I do a olaplex treatment and I have both times. And in the two times I've seen him, my curls look so much healthier! Very shiny and soft and my curl pattern is slowly but surely coming back. All I've wanted is for someone to cut off the tail that curly hair sometimes get when it grows out and he's the only one who even knew what I was talking about. I almost felt crazy! He steers me away from cuts I think I want but won't work for my hair and he gives me exactly what I'm looking for before I even know it myself. Amy is absolutely a sweetheart and she makes me feel so welcome every time I send her a message or show up for my appointment. They really take the time to get to know me and Bovane and I have really nice and very deep conversations. He makes an effort to have a relationship with me which is so important with a stylist! They need to know you as well as they know your hair so they can give you what you're actually looking for and not what you're asking for if that makes any sense. I've literally only been twice and my hair is already what I wanted it to look like when I went somewhere else in the beginning of the year. I'm moving to Syracuse in a few months but im not risking my hair or my mental health to find someone closer. I have family here so I'll get to see them every time I come get my hair cut. Win win for me haha! I'd post a picture but my beautiful cousin got some sand in it so it has to be washed. If I can, I'll update with a picture later

Just had to take a moment to thank Bovane for giving me the best haircut I've had in at least 20 years, and perhaps ever. Finally a stylist who truly understands curly hair! Your precise technique and ability to tailor it to both my hair texture and my own preference have made my hair so much easier to manage. Truly happy with the results-- will definitely be back!

Excellent with curly thick hair. Knowledgeable not only with curls but the required layers so the curls are full of life. After trying several stylists over the past 2 years, I am confident saying he is the best I have found in the Hudson valley.

Bovane is the expert in cutting curly hair! I travel 45 minutes each way to say him.

Today I met an amazing Hair Artist! It's been many years since I was able to trust anybody cutting my hair. I have curly hair and hated when they would cut my hair dry... leaving me with a frizzy mess! Bovane and I spoke for a while and he understood completely what I was talking about. He took his time and, cut my hair and I love it!! I finally found somebody who I can trust and who listens! Definitely going back!

After 2 years of terrible haircuts at multiple I met Bovane with a bit of skepticism. He looked at my hair, which is very thick and curly and said this is what we are going to do. He spoke of angles, layer's and mathematical numbers. He parted and clipped and snipped. I ​am so excited with the end result. My hair is exactly as I wanted. Great layers, full and healthy. Thank you for saving my hair!

I have wavy to curly hair and have had a really hard time getting my hair shaped so that it is easy to style, looks good and feels good. My hair is thin and patchy in the back and has been a a struggle. After one haircut my hair looks the best that is has in over 10 years!!!! He knew exactly what my hair needed ( I am not good at explaining) and now my hair falls into place with very little effort and it feels so much better. I highly recommend him, he is excellent!!! My hair is growing in just beautifully and I am so thankful

My expectations were exceeded when I accompanied my wife to what I thought was going to be a mundane hair dressers appointment. I was wrong - and pleasantly so. From what I saw, I would describe Bovane as:A conjurer of curls,A maestro of manes,A logistician of locks, etc What I saw that day was Bovane perform hair magic. His personality is wonderful, and second only to his artful cutting and dyeing technique. Bovane's masterful approach is to tailor the cut and particular hair treatment to the individual. I had the pleasure of witnessing what I can only describe as a Herculean effort on the part of Bovane to restore the breaking, overly bleached hair of the client who was the appointment before my wife. When he was finished, the woman's formerly bleached out, dry and breaking hair with a terrible cut, now fairly shimmered after Bovane treated it and blew it out. The woman looked like a princess when she was finished. When he was finished with my wife's appointment, her hair too looked absolutely perfect. The personalized service provided, along with the counseling process and the flawless execution of the color, cut, and style was just top-notch. Note: we were early and Bovane went out of his way to give my wife an appointment after hours because she had an interview for a new position.I would highly recommend Bovane, especially if your hair is damaged or you have special hair care needs.

I have been to many hairstylists in the past but sitting down in Bovane's chair was an experience I highly enjoyed. He was my first real curly cut. I have struggled with styling my hair for years and as a curly haired individual I have never been able to get a haircut that actually lets my curls do their thing. During my appointment, I got a hair cut and Bovane had answered any/all of my questions in regards to colors/dyeing my hair. We found a color together that would best cover my previous balayage so that I could have a fresh new look, that also allowed me to present myself as a bit more professional for my upcoming life endeavors. Truly a great experience, haircut and conversation. You know how sometimes you go to the hair salon and you never know what to say/sit in awkward silence... Well Bovane is 1000% different! He explains the process of color and how the haircut is going to be done. I highly recommend him to anyone and everyone! If you want someone to trust your hair with I suggest none other than Bovane! Not to mention Amy is an absolute doll and they are so quick to book you asap!

Ive been bleaching my hair for almost 5 years now. Slowly I watched my hair loose it’s natural curls, become brittle and dry. To the point where I knew for sure I’d never get my hair back. I recently moved to the neighborhood and as a nurse, especially in current times, I stopped taking care of my hair and found myself becoming so depressed over the damage i’d done to it. I started my research and came across Bovane. His highly recommended reviews for fixing hair like mine brought me into his chair. Bovane left me excited after my consult for what my hair could possibly look like after this long, BUT most worth it journey he discussed with me. I’ve now had two sessions with Bovane and my hair not only looks but FEELS healthier than I ever thought it could…and he is still able to keep the icy blonde look I love. I couldn’t be happier with the color and results. Thank you Bovane and Amy for the enjoyable conversations and sharing your education! Such a great experience every time.

Bovane is an excellent communicator and hairstylist. I've never met a stylist who actually listens to what you're looking for, walks you through their thought process and together strategize a way to get the look you want. I'm very particular about who cuts or styles my curly hair because too many times I've gotten the "yeah yeah I know what you want" and they don't. After a couple years of cutting my own hair I decided to try yet another professional especially since this time I wanted to lighten it and a self haircut is as far as I'll go. We chatted on the phone, I sent photos of my hair and went for a consult. His transparency, communication and professionalism sold me. A week later I was booked, got highlights, a cut and my first Olaplex treatment. He did not disappoint. I absolutely LOVE my summer look, it flows beautifully and feels healthy. I'm happy to have found a hairstylist I can trust.

Best cut and style I’ve had since moving to Dutchess County from Manhattan five years ago! I have thick, chemically processed, naturally curly hair that I prefer to style straight, which has always presented me with a bit of an at-home challenge…as well as my wearing it in an easy but unstylish ponytail most days of the year! At last I have a cut that I am able to style at home and wear down, and one which has gotten me lots of compliments. Color was great too, as was the Olaplex salon treatment, which made my hair softer and smoother, with noticeably less frizz. Thank you, Bovane! I’ll be back.

This was my first haircut after losing my hair to chemotherapy. I used to have long, thick, straight/wavy hair, but now my hair was growing in very curly with a very much different texture, and I thought it would be years before I could possibly be happy with my hair again. I was nervous to go for my first haircut post chemo but I could not believe what a great job Mr Bovane did and I must say I am very happy with my hair!! It's definitely a new look for me, but finally happy with it after an awful battle with cancer, hair loss and the process of growing back my hair! Thank you Mr Bovane!

I was looking for a new hairstylist and googled in my area. Bovane was the first to come up. I reviewed his website and Instagram and saw that he specializes in curly hair. Perfect! He fit me in right away. I got half my hair cut off and he gave me the best haircut I have ever had! I was so so happy with the style I went back a couple days later amd got my hair colored. I am super happy I found him and totally recommend him for all your hair needs especially if you have curly hair like me. I would give him 6 stars if I could!

I just moved up to the area and was looking for a stylist for my curly hair. I saw all of the great reviews for Bovane so I scheduled an appointment. He really takes his time talking to you to make sure you're going to be happy with what he's doing. Bovane goes over all of your options and the pros and cons of each choice.Well, I absolutely love my curly cut and root color and will have my highlights done in a few weeks!Bovane is very interesting to talk to and made me feel quite welcome.I highly recommend him!

I've been going to Bovane for my hair since 2000 (at least)! Always a positive experience with chill and stimulating conversation. He really cares! I feel like I'm rating a psychiatrist but honestly this guy knows hair! I don't trust anyone else with my hair, anytime I do, they screw it up (curly hair)! It's like he breaks the haircut down to a science...I recommend Bovane if you want a stylist who knows what he's doing and will make your hair look it's best! and that is why I keep coming back!

I loved Bovane's work! He’s super professional, has a massive amount of knowledge & expertise with all hair types & can style curly hair amazingly! He literally transformed my hair from all black to added blonde highlights WITHOUT damaging my curls & giving me the exact appeal I was seeking. Also he specified with cutting & shaping my curls as well 😊 I have found my new stylist 💅🏼💇🏻‍♀️ I recommend anyone who’s unsure about who to go to for your curls, go to Bovane ✊🏼 He does it all!

Bovane was amazing. He taught my daughter and I how to brush her hair properly with a tapping technique to release stubborn knots from her thick, curly hair. He had us try it ourselves to make sure we could do it properly. He also gave us great advice on how to style our curls. He was extremely nice and patient, and made sure he gave us what we wanted. He charges very reasonable prices for the intense individual attention and treatment! We won’t go anywhere else. Thank you, Bovane!

Bovane is a top-notch hairstylist. I came to him with my somewhat one length mop of wavy hair and he lasted the crap out of it...so that I walked out (well actually the next day after my hair treatment dried)...feeling like a million bucks! My wavy locks found the liberation they'd been longing for so they could be as wavy as they'd always dreamed of being! Can not recommend him highly enough for all the curly-heads and wavy-locked heads manes out there!

I have curly hair and have been searching for someone who knew how to handle curls. I was getting a bit hopeless in my search and remained disappointed with the flat, frizzy, curls I tried to tame and style. Bovane gave me the transformative cut that altered my curly hair. He took the time to walk me through his process and spent extra time ensuring I left with the hair I wanted. Thank you for going above and beyond!

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would!! I recently moved to this area and was in dyer need of a haircut and can only go to a curly hair specialist. Bovane did not disappoint! I got an Olaplex treatment which has completely saved my hair from all the heat damaged caused from years of straightening along with a haircut. I highly recommend if you have curly hair to only go to Bovane! Thank you so much!!

I’ve never left the hair salon feeling so confident that there is hope yet for styling my curly hair at home without the use of heavy chemicals treatments and hot irons! Bovane has the curly hair KNOW-HOW and will give you hair styling advice you didn’t even know you needed. Do yourself a favor and book an appointment for the best hair treatment experience. 💇🏻‍♀️✨💫

After seeing and appreciating Bovane’s artistry on other women I know, I decided to give this hair stylist a try. It was a really great experience. He listened to my concerns about my curly hair and gave me a hair style that was both updated and flattering. In addition, he gave me pointers on how to style my hair in order to keep the look. Highly recommended!

Driving an hour away was well worth it ! Bovane was able to fix a terrible cut , that I received at another salon . My hair is curly, and he was able to layer it just like I wanted . Mind you I had a pixie cut , and he turned it into a perfect pixie ! Will continue to have Bovane cut my hair . Thanks again for the great cut . I love it . Carmen

I just got a great haircut! I have varied-texture curly hair that can be tricky to tame and no patience for styling. He asked me whether I liked the cut I had before, where I part it and we decided together how he should cut the front around my face. I appreciated how he let me know what he was doing every step of the way. Highly recommend!!

I can't speak highly enough about Bovane salon. Bovane is truly a perfectionist. he spends quality time with you. His cuts & coloring techniques are above & beyond the best I have ever gotten .My curly hair has never looked so great . Amy is so sweet & professional, they make a great team. HIGHLY RECOMMEND this salon JoAnn G. 9/22

my Granddaughter has very coarse curly thick hair that was extremely unmanageable. After only one visit where she received a hair treatment and a beautiful haircut she looks amazing. We purchased some great hair products and we will be back for another treatment and hair cut in Three months.

Bovane is amazing! Had my first appointment with him yesterday to help regain my curls after years of keratin treatments and it was an amazing experience. He takes his time and explains every step of the process. I trust I am in good hands. Recommend

It's very hard to find someone new who knows what they're doing when it comes to highlighting thick curly hair. I felt comfortable, he listened to what I wanted done and I am very happy and pleased with the end result.

Bovane did a great job on my hair. The cut works well with my curls. Bovane is an excellent listener and will make your hair look its best!

Bovane did an excellent thorough meticulous job at cutting and styling my short curly hair. He's a true pro.

AWSOME job cutting curly hair gave me results I couldn’t find in a any barber shop I’ve been to
