What People Are Saying About Shears Hustle & Blow
Featured Review
Katie Heffernan
Contributor
In Short – The neon onslaught that is Ricky's beauty stores is almost absent in its all-white Soho salon, but the inner wild diva makes herself known in other ways. An elaborate chandelier of golden hairdryers is the salon centerpiece, and DJs turn the place into a disco on weekends. It's almost hard not to become distracted from the main purpose of your visit--be it an edgy statement or classic look. The magenta-mohawked stylist can work cut and color magic on any kind of hair. –
Editor's Tips
- Save Money:
- With women's cuts starting at $50 and men's at $35, this is one of the cheaper salons in the area--and the city.
- When to Go:
- DJs are busy spinning on Thursdays and Fridays from 4pm to 8pm, and Saturdays between 3pm and 8pm. Early week appointment? No worries--there are five iPod stations.
- The Extras:
- The back of the salon opens up onto the flagship Ricky's where you can pick up post-cut products. Even better, you can purchase a hair color from the store if that's your preference.
- Beauty Salon:
- In addition to cuts and color, Shears can do extensions, flat ironing, updos, braiding and more.

Relover Salon
by MariaG at Citysearch
Love the name change I just wanted to say what a pleasant experience I recently had with Allyn and his assistant Tania . They truly made a bad hair day to the greatest. Over uptown near Columbia University! Quality does pay off. Keep up with the great service. Thanks Maria G
- Pros: everything
- Cons: update website

Best cut I've ever had
by rosada77 at Citysearch
I've been going to Revolver (formerly Shears Hustle & Blw) for over a year now, and have continually received some of the best hair cuts of life (I'm a guy by the way). Though with the new ownership the price has gone up (now $45), I don't see myself switching locations any time soon. Many stylists don't have a clue when it comes to barbering skills for men's cuts, but the staff at Revolver knows their stuff. Allison - a new edition since the recent ownership/name change - gave me the best hair cut of my life a couple weeks back which is definitely worth a shout out. She is technically precise and a true perfectionist - qualities I appreciate when it comes to my hair. If you're looking for some flare and big personality by a man who cuts with the enthusiasm of Edward scissor hands, go to Massimo at the 3rd ave and 14th street Ricky's. He is the man, and his skills are right on par with Allison's - just offers a different experience - one that you won't forget I might add. Though my work location gives me easier access to the Soho Revolver, I'll surely be back up to 3rd ave to pay Massimo a visit.
- Pros: Allison and Massimo - two of the best stylist I've come across
- Cons: wasn't a fan of the recent $5 price increase... but its still worth it.

Great hair stylist found on Crosby Street!
by bojogeo at Citysearch
I work in the beauty business and I have to say the haircut I received from Lisa Stancliffe was the best I've had in a long time! She did a great job with my fine hair and cowlicks! The salon, now named "Revolver", is small and no-frills (although perfectly cool). Don't let that stop you from making an appt with Lisa- you'll be glad you did! Plus the pricing can't be beat- I've paid 3-4 times this amount for haircuts that weren't as good. The one bad thing is she only works on Tuesdays- so book an appt. before she becomes too popular!
- Pros: Lisa Stancliffe- a hidden gem of a hair stylist!
- Cons: Lisa only works on Tuesdays

NEW NAME FOR GREATEST STYLIST S & PRICE IN NYC
by lindarobin at Citysearch
Lisa S. at the newly named Revolver salon is possibly the greatest stylist I've ever come across. Like the others in this salon she's from SOMEPLACE - Sasoon. But my hair is layered, long , wavy - not what one thinks of as Sasoon. No problem. She's BRILLIANT. The cost is what you're looking for in this economy. Half of what I was paying uptown. I am thrilled. What am I doing?! I'll never be able to get an appt now!
- Pros: LISA S. !!
- Cons: Some of the frills of a cut at twice the price are missing? Who cares?!

Best Color and Cut EVER
by megan324 at Citysearch
I think I have been to every salon in NY ! But my search is over ,I tried this Salon (i admit a little reluctantly) after a few of my co workers suggested it. Got my color with Richard and cut with Lisa and I couldnt be more pleased with my hair. Both were very professional and really listened to what I wanted but best of all they actually delivered on what was promised. The price is half of what I normally pay for mediocre results So now I feel like I won the hair lottery.
- Pros: Excellent color and cut
- Cons: None
