Apr 2023

As a longtime resident of Boston and recent newcomer to CNY, I was a bit nervous about leaving my beloved hairdressers and finding another one in Syracuse, especially with my wavy/curly hair. While I let my hair go as long as possible, the time had come to take the plunge. A quick Google search pointed me to Dani. To be honest, I didn’t really know what to expect - her reviews were excellent but weren’t super curly specific, and I had barely explored Syracuse at all, much less the salon/beauty scene in the city.

As a longtime resident of Boston and recent newcomer to CNY, I was a bit nervous about leaving my beloved hairdressers and finding another one in Syracuse, especially with my wavy/curly hair. While I let my hair go as long as possible, the time had come to take the plunge. A quick Google search pointed me to Dani. To be honest, I didn’t really know what to expect - her reviews were excellent but weren’t super curly specific, and I had barely explored Syracuse at all, much less the salon/beauty scene in the city. However, from the moment I walked into the door, Dani was truly amazing (and so adorable and sweet!). The building and decor/aesthetic of \\\"The Fortress\\\" is so much fun (in her studio space and her coworkers). Dani's energy is infectious, engaging, and she’s incredibly generous — not just with her witty conversation, kindness, and admirable hair/beauty skills, but with her wine as well :) While I’ve only been in the area for ~8 months, this was definitely one of the best outings I have had so far. I really felt welcome to The Fortress and the neighborhood, which is great as a mid-30s newcomer excited to meet people familiar with the area. While the experience itself was a treat, my hair looks amazing! I asked for the nearly impossible task of maintaining length while increasing volume and she did just that. My curls are much happier these days. Thank you Dani!!

Dani is not only a talented stylist, she’s also fun and funny! You can count on her for great laughs and an even better cut and/or color. I know a LOT of people who really miss having her cut their hair here in Binghamton, but our loss is definitely Syracuse’s gain. Get on her books before the word gets out!
