Focus is the first word I would use to describe Ty Holbrook. I've never had someone focus so hard on my haircut. The final result is amazing. Truely amazing! I highly recomend Ty for your next haircut.

Best hairdresser in town hands down!!!!!!!!

by taalor

I heard about Ty through a friend in LA. I was told Ty listens to what a client wants and needs. Boy did he!!!!!! I approached Ty telling him I was interested in cutting al my hair off. Ty reassured me I was at the right place. Ty told me we were going to take it slow, walking me through every step. He told me he was going to cut half what I was wanting to cut first. Reason being first so I didn't freak out and secondly so I was sure I really wanted to cut it all off. Thank god he did!! He was so right, the length he cut it at first was right on! Bottom line Ty listens and thats what matters in a hairdresser. Do yourself a favor go see TY HOLBROOK!

John Frieda

The absolute best stylist/colorist duo in NYC has to be Fabien and Martine. Fabien cut my hair for twelve years, and Martine colored it. I love you both.

Demetrius Pombo has been cutting and styling my hair for several years. He absolutely loves working with hair and this is obvious through the miraculous results. Demetrius Pombo works to create captivating haircuts and styles and his abilities are highly respected by the staff members of the salon and throughout the city of Los Angeles. He is an outgoing, creative, and talented individual. Not to mention he is also one of the top hairstylists at John Frieda Salon. Demetrius Pombo has worked with many celebrities such as Mathew McConaughey, Paris Hilton, Gisele Bundchen, Natasha Richardson, Kate Blanchet, Marta Gugino, Melissa George, Linda Evangelista, Eva Mendez and Kelsey Grammar--to name a few. The service at John Frieda was excellent! I felt right at home upon entering through the chic glass doors. I felt like I was a celebrity with the constant attention I received. He's worth every penny! If you don't believe me check out his website at www.demetriuspombo where you can see for yourself. His website even offers great tips for straight, curly and even wavy hair. I highly recommend Demetrius Pombo. You won't regret the drive your hair will thank you for it.

Avoid like the plague, particularly Martine

by simoned

Beware, particularly if you are from out of town. I went there to have my hair colored. Martine went to work without consulting me on what I wanted or what she was doing or the cost of what she was doing. In my opinion, she may have known that I was from out of town and took advantage of me.

Over 4 hours later, she left my hair completely fried and uneven, and acted completely shocked when I refused to pay her approximately $500 . . . that's right . . . $500 for her services (or lack thereof). Martine actually threatened to call the cops on me for refusing to pay for her incompetence. I realize that this place has high ratings, etc., but perhaps its for haircuts. In my heart of hearts, I could never recommend this place to a friend (or enemy even) for coloring. It was a complete disaster.

People make mistakes, but the reason for this negative review is the manner in which I was treated by Martine after complaining about her mistake. This was a birthday present, and in addition to botching the coloring and threatening to call the cops, she made me over an hour late to my own birthday party. Her response "It's New York, just go late." Thanks a pantsload Martine, that's sage advice. Sheesh.
