Editorial Review for Frederic Fekkai – by Lynn Suhrie
In Short
This fourth-floor salon and spa is a beehive of well-executed activity. Every element is immaculate and highly polished: from the straightforward barber shop with iconic black-and-white photos, mini flat screens and atrium views, to the cluster of female stylists' worktables lit by small glowing cubes and the waiting area decorated with animal skin rugs and tree trunk tables. The same goes for the haute clientele getting haircuts, blow-outs, manicures, makeup and specialty skin treatments.

This is not worth themoney. My friend and I went for haircuts with Mia. We were scheduled for appointments one after the other. it became a disaster.She didnt listen to me when I told her i wanted anew style and described it to her very clearly. She cut it the same way but at the same time she was trying to finish my friends. So she became overwhelmed very quicklly as she was falling behind. It was lik she was paniced, The more crazy she got the worse the haircut became. This is the worst cut i have had in 20 years in New York. Even cheapos. My friends hair was uneven and chopped. It looked awful. We have both spend another 200 to get them fixed. Worst of all is the front desk. They are rude and really dont help at all. We both called and left messages for the manager to no avail. No one calls back or gets on the phone or sends a letter, nothing. We left messages for the manager, a Miss Bao.They dont care. This may have a high end name and gets all the out of towners but believe me it is not worth it.
Cons: terrible cut, uncaring managers

I walked into Fekkai @ 5:00 pm on a busy Saturday for a consult with Jeffrey Tam who was recommended by one of their stylists to a friend of mine. I was so disappointed about highlights I received the day before from Salon AKS that I got depressed every time a passed a mirror. I do not live in NYC and get to the city about three times a year. Jeffrey didn't know me from a hole in the wall but he came out to the front and squeezed me in on the spot. Not only did he correct the color, he didn't bad mouth the job done by the other colorist and gave me some advice on what to ask for when I am at home. He even encouraged me to call him if I had any other questions. I have been to some upscale salons (Salon AKS and Rita Hazan) but from now on, Jeffrey will be the only colorist I will see when I come to the city.
