What People Are Saying About Space Hair Salon

Featured Review

Contributor

Contributor

In Short – Space's light, airy Soho salon is home to talented hair stylists, colorists and the super-luxurious Deep Conditioning Treatment. For a surprisingly reasonable price (the fee goes up significantly if you want a blow-dry or style afterward), the treatment uses the exceptional Leonore Greyl products to moisturize and repair dry or damaged hair. Anticipating a revival of "natural," air-dried hair on the spring runways, Space has designed the treatment to restore lustre and shine to hair that has been overly treated or blown dry.

Editor's Tips

The Extras:
Incorporating jasmine oils, honey hair masks, heat lamps and lots of pressure-point massage, the Conditioning Treatment is one luxury that's definitely worth it.

value

Was going to get my hair highlighted here but....

by samapeary at Citysearch

I booked my appt after stopping in for a consult. I was than told that I would have to pay ADDITIONAL money to have my hair blown out or I could do it myself.. what the what?! After you are going to spend so much money getting your hair highlighted, don't they want to see the color of it dry? That was off putting and for that lack of customer service I decided to go elsewhere.

ten years of amazing haircuts

by birdyjoy at Citysearch

Love this place. I have left hair salons crying, but never Space Salon. I am very particular about my hair and Space Salon never disappoints. I go to Mark Johnson, he's sweet, professional and always does an incredible job. I get lots of comliments on my hair thanks to him and Space Salon.

Best Place for Natural Locks

by katibel20 at Citysearch

I have always been extremely picky about my hair and therefore have been going to the same color specialist for the past ten years of my life. However, when I moved to NYC, it became a bit ridiculous to plan my visits home around my stylist's availability. I finally decided to try someone new and am so happy I did. Not only did Lola meet my expectations, but she exceeded them. She took the time to carefully consult before strategically highlighting and lowlighting my hair to give me the best and most natural results. I would happily refer her to anyone and am so relieved to have found someone else to entrust with my hair.

  • Pros: Excellent service and results
  • Cons: None

Best bet for blonde highlights

by CSMobileUser6 at Citysearch

If you're looking for natural looking highlights that don't fade quickly and grow out well, look no further than Lola at Space Salon. She used a mix of high and low lights to bring my natural dark blonde back into the mix and accented it with beautiful highlights. I couldn't be happier with the results. I've tried many other colorists throughout the city but none were able to get this desired effect. Lola does an amazing job and the service at Space Salon couldn't be better.

Hiroko rocks!

by Jennifer Burks at Citysearch

Hiroko's been cutting my hair for almost a decade and I love her. She's beyond talented. We've been together through a couple of boyfriends and a more than a couple of hairstyles---a mullet, a faux-hawk and everything in between, including a gorgeous loose up 'do for my 2007 wedding. She's capable and she's an artist in the truest sense. (She also did my makeup for the wedding and I couldn't have been happier). I've sent a lot of clients her way and not one of us has the same texture or style hair and she makes it work; she's versatile and then some. Hiroko's the best!

  • Pros: great stylist-great atmosphere
  • Cons: none
