Editorial Review for Kenneth's Salon at the Waldorf Astoria – by Lynn Suhrie
In Short
Just like the storied Waldorf-Astoria, Kenneth's Salon is subdued, proper, and traffics in immaculate presentation. The Tuscan-inspired space is outfitted with salmon-colored arches beneath china blue ceilings, cushy chairs buttoned up in deep blue slipcovers, and frescoed walls depicting a verdant countryside. The tastefully dressed women who walk in invariably re-immerge with flawless coifs and sparkling nails.

Every woman in my family has gone to Kenneth's - my grandmother to me. It is simply the most civilized place to get any beauty treatment these days - the cuts and color are sublime - and the staff is professional.
Pros: Best haircut & color - not outrageously priced
Cons: the Waldorf is a little dated, but that's not Kenneth's fault!

I cannot believe nobody had reviewed the Kenneth Salon before me! This place was wonderful. I had my haircut with Kevin Lee (Kenneth's protege) and it was nice to find a hairdresser who could be trusted not to chop up my hair into a layered mess. Kevin gave a great cut, simple and classic yet stylish. Everyone at the salon was courteous and eager to help. Yes, it is expensive, but it is totally worth it. Haircuts twice the price of this one are not nearly half as good. Very professional. Very trustworthy. Very awesome :)
