Hillbilly in a beauty studio

by stv212

I grew up in Western PA. A guy-guy with a bad haircut and hillbilly ideals. Never imagined I would find myself writing a review for a salon.

I met Gabriel through a friend 13 years ago and he's been cutting my hair ever since. I'm still amazed at how a great haircut can make you feel.

Gabriel and Jeff are great at what they do and are simply good people. The studio is located on a great block in the West Village and the small space lends itself to the intimacy of the neighborhood.

• Pros: great vibe, good people, comfortable setting!
• Cons: ain't none...

Cult Following

by TaylorNance

Gabriel and Jeffrey have earned themselves a serious cult following from customers with impeccable and individual service to each. From the moment you step inside the charming and chic studio you feel at home and I never want to leave! These two superstars will change your life so immediately leave your old stylist and book an appointment asap.

No praise too high

by mewing80

This is hands-down the best salon experience imaginable. I see Gabriel and I have never gotten a better cut or color from anyone. The results are so excellent, I wish I could post pictures on citysearch. I've walked into a lot of upscale salons, armed with a blind optimism that the stylist will make me look my best--and Sparkle is the only establishment to have met and exceeded my expectations *every time*. The personal attention, the atmosphere, the fabulous playlists on the stereo--everything is perfect. Gabriel seems to have an intuitive understanding of my style and thus how I want to look walking out the salon doors. This must sound hyperbolic to the uninitiated, but I promise, you won't want to return to whomever you were seeing before. The Sparkle experience will make anyone unfaithful to their previous stylist.

• Pros: Staff, personal attention, atmosphere

Fantastic Service

by emf311

Spakle Beauty Studio is an utter delight! The service is truly personalized, and they make you feel like you're their only client. Talk about feeling important! I have had my hair done by Gabriel a few times now, and everytime I've left feeling 100% satisfied. I can't say enough good things about Sparkle!! A rare find in the sea of NYC beauty salons.

Fantastic Salon, The Best In The City

by GJA2000

I made an appointment the other day for this place, having walked past it many times. I'm extremely particular when it comes to my hair and have tried many NY salons. I've never been so ecstatic about a cut and color in my life! The owners greeted me with such politeness and introduced me to Laura the assistant. it's not often in this crazy city of ours that people are so thoughtful. I was given a consultation and felt like I'd really been listened too. The cut took an hour and the attention to detail was amazing. What really stood out was the color. I've been trying to get this particular shade of blonde for years, but no-one has been able to get even close. All this and a great atmosphere too. I have recommended this place to many of my friends and am going back in 6 weeks. I'm hooked!

• Pros: Great coloring technique. Beautiful cuts.
• Cons: There isn't another one uptown!
