  1. Prices may be higher than what I'd like to pay, HOWEVER, the piece of mind in knowing that I will get a fantastic haircut that suits my face, style and hair type is worth it.
  2. I've tried many of the well known salons and found them to be overpriced, arrogant and of mediocre quality.
  3. He gave me exactly what I asked for and the price was very reasonable!
  4. I'd been to other salons in the city and paid big bucks to get only a brassy look, with which I was dissatisfied.
  5. It was well worth the money, although it was a bit pricey, which is why I took the time out to glorify such great people:)
  6. Somewhat pricey, but worth it.
  7. fancy expensive salons and it comes down to the product Goldwell and the colorist.
  8. Great service never comes cheap
  9. Stanley has given me the best haircut and it has made a huge difference to my hair.
  10. knew the money I spent was worth it when my facialist was pulling my hair back and said, "Ooooohhh, nice highlights!
  11. Cut by christopher was good but not worth the price.
  12. Amazing salon, worth every penny, Mauricio has a magic touch as ussual excellent haircut.
  13. After trying so many salons and paying such high price for awefull highlights that turned by brown hair red, a friend recommended this salon and my experience was excellent.
  14. It was by far the best cut, color and price out of all of them.
  15. He is busy and he probably has a huge panel of clients BUT at one point he tried to sell me a hair straightening product even though I have stick straight hair.
  16. definitely expensive but worth every penny.
  17. The atmosphere is awesome, everyone is super nice - can't wait to go back The salon is amazing, worth every penny, Mauricio has a magic touch
  18. cannot say enough - the place is perfect if you are want a great look at a great price.
  19. I've been to more expensive places in the city and find Christopher Stanley to be higher quality and more comfortable.
  20. have never been happier with my hair and have been to every expensive salon in NYC.
  21. After a bad haircut at a local salon I've been going to for years, I decided to treat myself to a more expensive salon.
  22. would even pay full price for his skills when he's promoted to stylist!
  23. It's a good salon, but ultimately not worth the extra bucks.
  24. love Noelle's haircuts and she is worth the price and my highlights are always nice, but I think that this salon has such high ratings mostly because you get a 20% discount when you write a positive review.
  25. tell all my friends and family to go to Julie, and once they do, they become a part of her huge following.
  26. While the haircuts are somewhat expensive, they are worth every penny!
  27. His cuts & color jobs grow out beautifully - I can go 2-3 months- which makes them fantastic value for money.
  28. Great upscale salon without the overblown attitude and ridiculous prices.
  29. would definitely go back, and recommend it to anyone looking for a top-notch yet affordable salon.
  30. The end result is a great value for both.
  31. During the last 4 years living in NYC it has been a challenge to find a hair salon that offers a fabulous hair cut with a great value.
  32. had a color with Christopher last year and it was one of my best experience ever (I haven't returned yet because I cut my hair - at another salon - this winter and this cut doesn't worth the money.

  1. i've had long, short, medium, and long again hair, and each look was great!
  2. He made sense out of bad hair cut and without taking tons of length off connected my long bangs with the rest of my hair to make a unified hair cut.
  3. And even the shampoo was incredible - long scalp massage was heavenly.
  4. He has a long history with dyeing and color in the textile field and all his experience perfectly culminates into being an awesome hair colorist.
  5. but he really gives incredible cuts that last (and realistic quick ways to style at home).
  6. got less than interesting color from Billy and an hour long cut that looks like I could have gone to my husband's barber - both were boring.
  7. Maria B. is the best colorist ever, and is great with my super long curly "ethnic" hair.
  8. have never had anyone in New York take so long to make sure that the cut was perfect.
  9. After going to Christopher Stanley and getting the best cut and color of my life, I am mortified that I walked around with my crappy 'do for so long!
  10. Stanley is the best and you can count on styly that will last a very long time!

Danny Garcia Otero

by mschwartz77

My stylist for five years, Danny Garcia Otero, who was working at Christopher Crabaugh Salon (it closed) is moving to Capelli D'Oro at 123 Fifth Avenue, 2nd Floor, between 19th and 20th Street. (212-477-3000/646-342-2996) He's the best. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my hair. Every friend of mine that started going to him for their hair never left.

Great Haircut!

by twinbee

I decided to take a “leap” and let someone at Christopher Crabaugh cut my hair two weeks ago. Over the last year, it became increasingly difficult to get an appointment with my regular hair stylist of 2+ years; nobody wants to make their hair appointment 2 months in advance. But I digress… I choose Christopher Crabaugh because of all the great reviews on City Search and I wasn’t led astray – phew! Danny did an amazing job on my hair. He cut about three inches off of my mid-back length hair (at my request!!). I have gotten several compliments on the cut including one from my Colorist at my regular salon! I am going to get a Brazilian Keratin treatment from Danny this week. Stay tuned for the results!!!

My Brazilian Blowout Blew Me Away!

by BryanNYC

I came here for a Braziian Blowout and will definitely be coming back again! Billy did my treatment and he was INCREDIBLE! Not only was he easy to talk to, knowledgeable, and funny, but - more importantly - he listened to me. My hair is very thick and resistant to relaxers, and in the past my hairstylists have always ignored me when I’ve warned them. But not Billy. He had Shawn (who also did an amazing job preparing my hair, washing it, and applying the mask after the treatment) use some kind of serum on my hair to open up the cuticle. It worked like a charm! I’ve never had such great results before. My hair is straight, but with body, and I can still style it, too! Normally it just lies flat for 2 weeks until my roots grow in. Great job! After the treatment, Shawn styled my hair for me as Billy’s next client had arrived, and he did a fantastic job at that, too. Overall, the staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient. Two thumbs up and five stars for Christopher Crabaugh!

Five Hundred And Ninety Reviews

by RoseFliesSkies

Let's be blunt but fair.

This formerly (and possibly still) terrific salon -- one of New York's true gems -- has gone through massive upheaval including ownership, management and personnel changes. Whenever this happens things change. In fact, everything changes.

I am not saying things have changed for the worse. Not at all! What I am suggesting is this:

Given all the changes the former Christopher Stanley salon has gone through in the last few months it is essentially a brand new business and ought to be patronized and reviewed as one.

That would be fair not only to current and prospective clients but also to the new identity the new salon is trying to create, separate from the old legacy business.

So tread lightly, but do tread. Go. Experiment. See what they have to offer. I plan to!

But understand that this is a completely different place than the formerly GLORIOUS Christopher Stanley Salon was, and ought not be judged based on historical reviews.

Hope I can post a five-star here in the near future.

I wish them Ceiling And Visibility Unlimited.

Rose.
