What People Are Saying About Aks Salon

The Scene – Right in the midst of boutique central, this chic salon bustles with the sounds of prestige purse-carriers getting gorgeous. Small by Madison Avenue standards, AKS' 15 stations are housed in two rooms, both with floor to ceiling windows. The intimate space is beautifully appointed in a modern, minimalist style; even the rolled towels above the washing stations are works of art. – – Salon Services – Cut, highlights and conditioning treatments with swank extra touches (like a bit of Thai massage while you get shampooed). Hot mittens and hot cream varieties…
Best cut and color
by busymum
Prior to going to AKS I had gone to other top salons where they did bad highlights, couldn't figure out how to color my resistant grey hair, or made it to dark (hello Elvira!) J. Anthony at AKS saved me. As for my cut. Mika does the best layers. I am constantly complimented on my hair thanks to the team at AKS!!
- Pros: Great senior stylists
- Cons: Junior Stylists often do the blowdry after service and they aren't as good.
Donna is a color GENIUS
by simr
To sum it up: Donna Hernandez is a genius. Seriously. Once she understands what you are looking for, she truly delivers. My highlights look fantastic! You cannot imagine how many people have asked me who does my color..... she's that good! But more than that, she is a fantastic person, and truly a pleasure to work with. she makes sure you are completely satisfied before you leave the salon, and is genuinely gracious. I cannot say enough good things. Suffice it to say, I am a customer for life. I have been to Rita Hazan, Salon Pasha, and Roy Teeluck but Donna's skill surpasses every other colorist i have seen, Highly recommend!
- Pros: Donna Hernandez
- Cons: absolutely none
Great Salon/Great People
by PaulaH1
I have been going to Jay Anthony for color (blonde single process and highlights every couple of months) for about two or so years. He is just terrific at color, listens to what you want while making excellent suggestions of his own and is truly a great person and a pleasure to be with. You will be delighted with your results whether you are a blonde, brunette or redhead as I've seen great results on many different people and he has a large, loyal following. Making appointments well in advance is always recommended, but he will do his best to squeeze you in for a last minute must-do. Love cuts from Mika and Zhen, and nail/waxing/threading from Galena and Laura, too
