In Short
Jean-Claude Biguine's haircutteries aim to bringing high-style to the masses, offering the newest cutting, coloring and treatment techniques at prices that won't break the bank. Lower costs meant nixing the cappuccinos and wine that some Madison Avenue salons provide, but all the haircare needs are in place--blowouts, up-dos, cuts, conditioning and color. Retail shelves stock a full range of Biguine products like cosmetics, hair styling aids, shampoos, conditioners and aromatherapy products.

I stopped by this salon over lunch because it was close to my work. I asked if I could book an appointment for any time in the upcoming weeks. The receptionist was rude and didn't seem to have time for me, and would speak so quietly I could barely hear her over the hairdryers. She asked who I wanted to see. I told her I was new. She then went through this whole thing about how unless you have seen a stylist before, you cannot make an appointment. The only way is to "walk-in." I'm sorry, but I may be able to leave work early for a guaranteed appointment, but how does someone just stop by and hope to get a cut and color by just "walking in" on a weekday? Clearly they do not want new business, and they'd prefer to keep the people they do have, and then take anyone who wanders in during the non-busy hours, which according to the receptionist are "early morning" or "after two, but not after 5:30." This is NYC - is it really so hard to find a good stylist that doesn't charge $100 for a haircut??

I came here after a horrifying haircut experience at Roy Teeluck Salon (don't ever let Ali Ozel touch your hair!) to slowly, gradually get a head full of terribly done layers cut out of my head. I have thick, wavy Asian hair which the aforementioned stylist took a razor to- absolute death for thick Asian hair. Anthony at the Grand Central location understood this and is slowly taking down my layers as they grow out. He is professional, soft spoken and honest and I respect that, esp in New York. I was exasperated at spending $150 for a haircut i hated before so opted for the $45 cut here, figuring how could they screw up a simple trim? It's also conveniently very close to my work. I might not go here for precision cuts or coloring, but I think it's good for the basics. The reception staff is ehh, but Anthony is great!
Pros: Anthony, super reasonable price for a trim
Cons: atmosphere, staff
