Awesome haircuts

If you want premium service, ask for John Kovacks. He really listens and does exactly what you ask. And he is an incredibly nice guy. Love Chris Chase Salon!

WORST EXPERIENCE EVER!

by sharon fischer at Citysearch

I went there and was on time. After more than 25 minutes of waiting they still weren't ready. I had told them earlier I had an appointment and couldn't wait too long. I'd asked how long the hairdresser would be. They kept saying 10 minutes and finally were just plain nasty. There attitude seem to be , you're the one in a hurry, too bad.

Love it without having been there!

by sunshine122 at Citysearch

Paul took my country daughter and turned her into a city gal with style. Giving her a great sassy look without going overboard. What a find, not to mention giving her the confidence she needed.

See Paul for great color

by Bondgirl101 at Citysearch

i have extremely difficult hair to color. It's almost black and I've only colored it a couple times in my life so I was quite nervous, but I'd read great reviews about Paul Cucinello. He did a great job with adding semi-highlights. It looked very natural and softened my face.

I get my haircut at Frederic Fekkai salon so when it was time for a touch up they claimed they could easily do an equally good job. Big mistake. My hair turned brassy and orange and dry. They had to go back in and do something to fix it. I think it was toner, but it still didn't look great. It just looked bland. I didn't want to dry my hair out more so I let my highlights grow out, but now that it's summer I've decided to have some fun and book another appointment with Paul and get those summer highlights back in. Looking forward to seeing him work his magic again. :-)

expert hands...would trust no other

by sallyday at Citysearch

I love Chris Chase especially Andreas who had kept my locks looking natural and healthy for some 10 years now. I followed him from Robert Kree. He is fun, friendly, and very experienced, focused and fast. He never gets distracted or leaves you feeling abandoned somewhere. Never have to worry and always leave with my hair looking natural and beautifully colored.
