What People Are Saying About Arrojo Studio
Featured Review
Sandra Ramani
Contributor
The Scene – Nick Arrojo transforms the style-challenged on "What Not to Wear," while former staffer Kyan gives grooming advice on "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy." Despite the media connections, this light-filled downtown salon is devoid of star attitude; the vibe is relaxed even when busy, and the jokey, supportive relationship between the down-to-earth Arrojo and his staff makes for a pleasant experience. – – The Services – With more than 20 years' experience at some of the world's top salons, Arrojo is a proponent of "intelligent cuts and color," blending…

Bennett is the man!
by rebeeka125
I met Bennett when he was still a student at Arrojo. He was great then and is even better now since he has graduated. He listens to what you want and offers wonderful suggestions. He is very meticulous when working out layers which I love. He also gives the best shampoo/ hair massage ever! Bennett is the best!
I LOVE LOURDES
by AmandaDi
I heard about Lourdes at my job...I read some of her reviews online and decided to Book with her. She is the best colorist I've ever ever experienced..extremely warm, personable and a kick ass colorist. I tend to be a little anal about EVERYTHING...and she somehow convinced me to jump with her on this color experience. I really really LOVE my hair. I feel younger, hipper and a lot sexier. We did the ombre effect. Very natural fading effect on the hair. I enjoyed Arrojo very much...also the prosciuto paninni at the cafe is to die for. I'll definitely be coming back to Arrojo and to my favorite colorist Lourdes
CHRIS KALAFUT at Arrojo Studio, New York

- It’s time this lady receives her five-star review !!
For many years I have been having long hairs. Finally, I took courage to chop it all off… a picture of Cate Blanchett in a super hot do was the trigger. Chris has been cutting my hair for quite some years now and never ever disappointed me – if anyone would do such a radical move on my looks, then it would be her! The outcome: SPECTACULAR ! Chris has done a phenomenal job on how Cate’s cut could adapt to my face and hair type (which is thick and bulky) – she always puts a lot of care in her work, but this time I noticed the many little tricks she knows to get that fun spiky look and to make my hair light and flowing, It has been weeks now and still, everyday the cut looks great. Chris is magical! She made me a very happy gal this summer !
NICOLE IS THE BESTTTTTTTT!!
by SassyPRican
I decided to look into Arrojo Studios after seeing him on What Not To Wear and checked out a few of the stylist on his page. I chose Nicole after reading some reviews and saw that she was on Sheer Genius. I have to say I LOVE NICOLE!! She is really nice, friendly, and just REAL...which I have to say some here are NOT!! I decided to check her out after years of going to someone who would cut my hair in layers and it pretty much looked the same with no volume. Nicole asked what I wanted and I said, make me look like a VS Model!! And that's what she did!! She took her time to cut my hair piece by piece and made sure the layers were cut correctly. My hair looked beautiful. I am now a regular and have referred many of my friends to her. They also LOVED the results. I have nothing bad to say, my experience was GREAT!!
Salon is a SCAM!
by adara260
I created an account to write a review for this salon because of the atrocious experience that I had here. If I could give a negative rating I would!
I went to this salon on May 27th 2011 as a hair model. I answered an ad for a FREE haircut. I corresponded with the student in several emails. At the 11th hour I was switched to her "friend." Once I got to the salon I was told there would be a fee of $25. I disputed the fee of course. The front desk girl said verbatim "we will take care of it." I took that language to mean that its taken care of.
I got the haircut. It was disgusting. It was lopsided. She did a false consultation. She asked me what I wanted but did what she wanted anyways. She didn't ask me any questions about where I part my hair, how I do my hair, my lifestyle etc. Why bother doing a consultation if you're not going to listen? It did not turn out good or even passable. The instructors even said how bad it was and how poor her consultation skills were.
At the end I was then forced to pay the fee otherwise it would be theft and I would've probably been arrested. I was also bullied into a product purchase. I had to refuse about 7 times. Seriously people? Obviously I don't want it!
I have filed a complaint with the BBB because it is false advertising. I am not a hard to please person. I just think if you advertise something the client should get it as advertised. The responses from the salon and the students involved are ridiculous and out right lies. I was appalled that people can outright lie! It only cements my opinion that the salon has faulty practices that result in negative consequences for the consumer. I am surprised that there aren't more complaints on file.
You think this will be a high end salon treatment but you're better off going somewhere else and saving your money. You will not get high end treatment or high end results.
