We’re so excited to welcome you to Queen of Swords 2 in Ridgewood!

Come visit our new and larger space, open daily from 11 to 7. All of our stylists specialize in curly and textured haircuts, working with your natural texture to create a look that’s uniquely yours. We don’t offer perms or straightening treatments; instead, we sculpt each style to enhance your facial structure and deliver a low-maintenance, high-style look you’ll love.

We offer gender neutral haircuts: your spot for bobs, bangs, mullets, pixies, shags, curly haircuts, long layers, and short styles. Meet our stylists below to explore their specialties, and browse their socials for inspiration for your next great cut.
