Great find on the upper east side

by dinabee at Citysearch

A friend gave me a gift certificate for a hair color and deep conditioning treatment. I was not sure what to expect and I must say that the experience was relaxing and the results exceeded my expectations. Caroline spent time finding just the right shade for me and made sure I was comfortable before she proceeded. The conditioning treatment left my hair soft and shiny. The blowout was professional and I walked out feeling confident. Great place and highly recommended.

Worst Haircut I've Ever Gotten!

by meglizy4 at Citysearch

I live in the area and desperately needed a haircut, so I decided to try MV Salon. Well, that was a huge mistake. I got the worst haircut of my life. Frank was my "stylist" (and I will use that word lightly). He cut my hair completely uneven! I did not get my hair blown-out after my cut, so I only noticed it when I went home and blew it dry. It was at least 1/2 inch longer on one side than the other! I went back to the salon immediately, and Frank basically blamed me because "he shapes and styles the hair after he blows it dry" Apparently he is OK with sending someone out the door with a botched hair cut because he didnt dry it after! Then, he wouldnt let me speak to a manager or owner, and he didn't want to deal with me so he sent me to another stylist to fix my hair. She had to completely start from scratch and re-cut my hair because it was beyond repair at that point! I left in tears. Absolutely AWFUL experience! (Look at the reviews on other sites and see how negative they are!)

The highlight of my day...Kali's color!

by smile23 at Citysearch

Can't thank Kali enough for the awesome highlights she gave me last week! It has literally taken me years to find a hairstylist who possesses such a natural talent with those shiny foils!

In the past, my hair was turning out too light, too dark or just plain dull. Kali changed that with her refreshing technique and expertise. She added dimension and lift to my slowly graying hair – with tones that work great for my complexion.

And her "colorful" personality, easy-going nature and patient disposition always makes visiting MV Salon a most enjoyable experience!

Amazing experience and expert hands

by Shoshi G at Citysearch

My hair looks, and feels amazing! I'm a blonde with very thick hair, and have been getting highlights done to my hair for 10 years now and have never had them look so well blended, with so many dementions.

Today Chris colored my hair. He brought it to my attention that I have a lot of golden in my natural hair color; with this he added high and low lights blending in with a golden color(not just bleach) and my hair color looks so great! It's perfect for the fall, not too blonde, but still pops. I love it! He has such a fun personality, I had a blast.

I've never been more satisfied with my hair! I can't wait to show it off!

Darling Dao :)

by Emily Em at Citysearch

I have been getting my hair cut at a different salon for a over a year and lately have been leaving less than pleased. A friend suggested I go see Dao at Marianne Vera; She is THE BEST. She really worked with my hair texture and kept the length that I was holding on to.

She changed my hair just enough to give me the confidence I needed and I have been receiving compliments ever since my visit to MV.

Dao is super sweet and has great style. GO SEE HER!

I will definitely be back.
