  1. Fairly new to NY from Boston, I had been trying to find just the right salon- a place I could get a haircut that had a relaxing and comfortable environment with excellent talent, but somewhere below the $300 dollar price point.

  1. had a groupon so the salon was very affordable for me this time.
  2. had been stalling to switch hair salons into NYC since I moved here a few years ago and continued to go out to NJ to get my hair done b/c of the ridiculous prices salons charge here but finally gave in and was recommended I go here by a couple friends -
  3. Wendy is a great hair colorist, so I continue to come back here, even though the prices just recently went up about 20% for a hair coloring!
  4. Fairly new to NY from Boston, I had been trying to find just the right salon- a place I could get a haircut that had a relaxing and comfortable environment with excellent talent, but somewhere below the $300 dollar price point.
  5. first checked the website - which is so user friendly and you can even book your appointment online which I loved - and the prices are so reasonable!
  6. Went to Sam Brocato after I came across the salon on Citysearch while looking for a GOOD, inexpensive haircut.
  7. For NYC, 128 is still a pretty good price for a good hair cut in a nice salon, I think.
  8. initially went to the Salon because there was a Groupon and I thought I'd check it out for the price, but I went and I loved the whole experience.

Awesome Hair Cut!

by kportmann at Citysearch

Moving to the city and trying to find someone you can trust to cut your hair is HARD. Tried twice at one place and wasn't willing to go for 3 (strikes your out). Know of Sam Brocato's reputation and checked it out. LEAH rocks and I and thrilled with my haircut. Not only a haircut but tons of ideas on how to wear it different ways. I couldn't be more thrilled.

That and the staff there is very professional and the salon has cool too. Thank you! Thank you!

Fantastic

After a botched haircut by a stylist that didn't listen, I found a professional in Krista. Krista listens and does exactly what you want. I found my salon.

Brilliant

by Nell8 at Citysearch

I got my hair cut and colored at this salon a few weeks ago and I have to say it was the best hair dressing experience I've ever had. I moved to New York from Ireland in May and was dreading the mammoth task of finding a colorist and stylist that I was going to be happy with. I stumbled upon the Sam Brocato salon after purchasing a Groupon voucher and reading several reviews. It did not disappoint.

The colorist was Mary and the stylist Krista. Both were absolutely outstanding. I've never been happier walking out of a salon in my life.

Mary is a magician. She gave me the exact color that I wanted. My hair is dyed blonde and in all the years I've had it colored I've usually found it either too blonde or too dark, never just right or what I asked for. She managed to tone down all the brassiness caused by the sun and gave my highlights a natural color that for once matched my face. And all in record time.

Krista is another genius. My hair is long, straight and boring. I usually just stick to getting the ends trimmed after several failed attempts at different layered styles over the years. Without losing too much off the end she managed to create a fantastic shape all around that is so flattering and easy to keep. I was absolutely delighted. An amazing blow out too. I would recommend this salon in a heart beat. Can't wait to go back.

Finally 2 years later

by Tand7 at Citysearch

After 2 years of looking a decent place to cut my hair, I found the place.

I was sad and frustrated, all those fancy salons and they don't know how to cut fine, thing straight hair.

At Sam Brocato Salon, I found Chelsea Turner, SHE IS ABSOLUTELY SWEET, and took the time to understand what is going on with me in regard to my hair.

I will be back and recommend people for sure.

And I forgot to mentioned the price is very reasonable.

best color ever

by bundysara21 at Citysearch

I have been on the search for a good colorist for years!! I finally hit the jackpot when my friend recommended I go to Mary. I get hightlights and they are exactly what I explained to her. She is young, and hip but down to earth like a normal person ( I hate when stylist have a "i'm better than you attitude") The whole staff was nice and the salon is huge for soho standards. All and all great experiance!!!!
