In Short – Earth-tone decor and sunshine-like lighting keeps the scene natural, comfortable and lively. Upper Eastsiders sidle up to a long styling bar for up-to-the-minute tresses; color addicts head for the separate circular alcove where a shampooing station hides out; manicure and pedicure clients retire to a private room with comfy mini-banquettes, sheer curtains, and copper sinks. Those in the know treat their locks to extra pampering with a deep conditioning treatment.
Editor's Tips
- Know Before You Go:
- This 10th-floor hideaway doesn't advertise its location at street-level. Take note of the building number (689 5th Avenue) and look for the entrance on 54th Street.
- Save Time:
- Stay on schedule by ordering lunch while your stylist works her magic.
- Look Good:
- Stock up on your favorite supplies for at-home pampering, such as Phyto Hair Care, Bobbi Brown Cosmetics, and Dr. Gross Skin Care.
- On the Menu:
- Coupled with their precision hair cuts, creative to conservative hair coloring and trend-setting hair styling, AKS Salon(R) can also add volume and/length to your hair with their hair extension services.

best Salon in NYC
by LindaR745
I am very fussy about my hair, both color and cut. I've been to all the high profile salons in the city and have had good and bad experiences in all of them, that is until I returned to AKS after a 10 year hiatus. I had followed a stylist and a colorist to another salon and spent years trying to figure out why I was happy with my hair every other time, and miserable every other time. On a friend's suggestion, I returned to AKS and I am so happy that it forced me to write a review. Since my return about 6 months ago, not a day has passed without someone complementing me on my hair, equal parts color and cut. Everyone there is nice, professional and the service and atmosphere is great. I don't know why anyone goes any where else. From a very happy client.
Best color

Kimberly Williams is the best colorist I've been to in Manhattan. She has a great eye for natural color. I started going to Kim this past summer, and she turned my brassy blonde hair into a more golden Jennifer Aniston type of look. She is great at listening to clients requests, but also has amazing insight and ideas of her own. So if you're looking for natural and timeless hair color, search no further, see Kim!
Nice color job
by Suva
I had a good experience with Kimberly Williams. I took in pictures of what I wanted my color to look like. She was very open to discussing our result expectations. Pictures and photos always help your hair dresser. I am happy with my color. I thought Kimberly was professional in her approach and careful in evaluating the color process.
Damaged my hair!
by badhairday12
Kimberly Williams ruined my hair! She is unprofessional & unexperienced & she did the opposite of what i asked her. Do not trust this person to color your hair you will regret it!
highlights
by marta fernandez
Jaleh was recommended to me by a friend, and I saw her yesterday. She did a magnificent job with my hair --
a honey golden tone -- very natural, and exactly what I
wanted, She is a superb colorist. I have worked with
some of the top colorists in NY, when I am here from Buenos Aires, and she has to be the best. Further-
more, the staff that I dealt with (Scott, who did my
complimentary blowdry; Mia, the assistant; and the
receptionists, were all very plesant. It is just a nice,
nice salon with very competent people.
