Amazingly colorists at a chic little Greenwich Village gem

by kellythebruce

Leon gave me the most amazing highlights, cut, and blow-out. I walked in with a head of hair that I hadn't dyed in years and had been growing out for over a year. And I walked out with a stunningly natural and healthy trim and all-over color.

The entire staff was so friendly I spent half my day there and the time just flew right by.

Can't wait to go back!

Amazing experience!

Jeffrey was highly recommended to me by a woman I met at the Cancer Care Center. My hair had grown back since completing chemotherapy but was in pretty bad shape. This was mostly due to my attempts at coloring and cutting my own hair in an effort to camouflage the thin spots. This merely resulted in adding dryness and bad color to the problem of thin areas. My solution was to continue wearing my wigs. The time had finally arrived for me to contact Jeffrey - my one regret was that I did not do this sooner! The ambiance of the salon is awesome - wonderful Victoriana and antiques. I was delighted with the environment, the friendliness of the staff and, of course, Jeffrey. There aren't enough adjectives for me to describe this man. He is warm, loving, a great sense of humor and is also a master when it comes to coloring, cutting and styling. He presented me with options to restore my hair and I felt no qualms in having him make the decision to work his magic. Jeffrey put in lowlights and highlights which corrected my botched dye jobs and it looks fabulous. The cut and styling add volume and actually conceals the thin spots. Needless to say I am extremely happy and love my hair. My wigs are now all sitting prettily on their wig heads on the top shelf of my closet. Thank you Jeffrey for the wonderful work - I look forward to my next visit!

Wish I found him sooner

by TNKCritic

I first heard about Jeffrey Indyke from a friend of mine who had seen Jeffrey about a human hair wig. My friend was having a tough time facing the fact that she was going to loose her hair (from chemo) and the mere process of shopping for a wig was very stressful for her. After visiting Jeffrey, my friend shared her experience of the visit with me. She seemed much more confident about everything and told me that Jeffrey totally "put things into perspective" for her.

She also told me that he is a lot of fun and gives great hair cuts (based on her observations of his work on a nice couple that he had cut before her appointment). Three weeks later, when my usual salon could not fit me in for a cut I decided to give Jeffrey a call. He managed to squeeze me into his book (by staying late) and I'm so glad that I went to him (for a hair cut). Because I'm so particular about my hair (as it is not easily "tamed") I normally I drive hair dressers crazy by giving them instructions/restrictions. This guy asked me two simple questions and he took it from there; he knew exactly how to cut my hair. Also, he made me laugh (on a day when I needed a laugh). Go see him!

• Pros: Warm personality, comforting atmoshpere, superb talent
• Cons: Have to find him, it's between 5th & University

The only one for me.

I've almost exclusively gone to Jeffrey's salon for 11 years now, even when I lived in D.C.! I never have to tell him what to do with my hair, and I'm never disappointed with the look he designs for me.

• Pros: Very personal, quality service.

Best personalized wig consultation and haircut in the coolest salon in town

by AlexanderVK

My wife had to look for a wig due to expected hair loss from a chemotherapy treatment. We called around town to find the right place for her to get a haircut to preserve her hair for donation to a child's wig, and to find a wig from her. We called a number of places, including Jeffrey's salon which was recommended to us by a young cancer survivor's organization. Jeffrey was very knowledgeable and friendly over the phone, so we decided to book an appointment with him.

When you step into the salon, you know that you are in a place whose owner has a special aesthetic sense. Within a few minutes we both knew that we had made the right choice. Jeffrey himself is such a warm and open person and he put us right away at ease. Of course, you don't go to a salon for therapy. He knew exactly how to cut the hair so as to obtain it in a form usable for making a wig, and still was able to deliver a fantastic short cut for her, for the period before her hair will really starts to drop. We were aiming for a buzz cut, but he recommended that we do it in stages, which turned out to be absolutely the right way to do it. He has worked with cancer patients before, and was a wealth of information about the whole process.

Then we moved to the wig selection part. We had already spoken on the phone, and he had preselected some wigs. We looked at the different options in his sunny salon over natural light, and were able to pick a piece that was almost identical to my wife's natural hair. He then proceeded to cut the piece and create a result that was amazingly natural, and indistinguishable from natural hair (to my untrained eyes)

What had started as a very stressful day, ended up being as pleasant as it could have been given the circumstances. I can't imagine a better place for us to have been, nor a better person to have helped us than Jeffrey. We were very lucky, and hope that others can benefit as well.

• Pros: Ambiance, Service
