Editorial Review for Bumble and Bumble – by Elana Zeide
The Scene
Bumble and Bumble is about as hip as a hair salon above Union Square can get. The look is industrial, the dress code black and the staff artistic--with a capital A. A longtime favorite with magazine editors and modeling agencies, the two-story salon can sometimes seem like a continual catwalk. Luckily, mere mortals still score plenty of attention.
The Services
Everything at Bumble has a bit of an edge--from creative color schemes and rocker cuts to glistening blow-outs and ahead-of-the-curve make-up. The salon pioneered shearing hair edges with razors to create sharp, sexy movement, and some of the city's best colorists can tinge your mane from subtle to shocking with an eye to fashion's next trends. Most visitors become instant devotees, thanks to high-quality service and the effective, cult-forming Bumble products.

I've been meaning to write this months ago and that is how long i have loved my color! My natural color is a dark blonde and i wanted bright hilites but not chunky. Victoria 'painted' me and by watching her, i thought the outcome wouldn't be what i wanted... it was AMAZING! so natural that i couldnt believe myself in the mirror. She is the top colorist and expensive but SO worth it. I just went back in for a 2nd time to see Victoria to get my roots done and could not be happier! Although, I did miss her assistant Matt.... he made my 1st experience so much fun!!!!
Pros: views, cookies, Victoria & Matt!!!!
Cons: none!

No one has a given me as great a cut and styled my hair as lovely. I have thick and wavy hair and find that a lot of stylists think they can get away with just hacking away at my head and can pull it off as "hip" or modern. But Dante took great care in giving me the best cut for my head of hair and really made it feel healthy and great, using minimal product. This new spot is gorgeous, too. Wonderful views while I was getting my cut. I highly recommend him and after just recently getting a cheap cut from a local salon am kicking myself for not shelling out the extra 60 bucks (it was $120 total) to get get quality care for my locks.
Pros: high quality, gorgeous space
Cons: I selfishly wish it were less expensive
