Great Cut, Great Service, Great Value

by citygirl439

First and foremost, Nanette gave me a great haircut, and she was obviously very focused on giving me the look that I wanted, while at the same time, providing her opinion and feedback regarding what was most likely to be flattering (but in a way that was not at all pushy).

In addition--and also very important to me---everyone was very nice and went out of their way to provide a pleasant experience. You won't find any of the attitude that is prevalent at so many pricey Manhattan salons. Just down-to-earth great service. Worth mentioning--the woman who gave me my shampoo (sorry--I can't remember her name)--did an awesome job--a perfect scalp massage that was both relaxing and invigorating.

Finally, the price is very reasonable, given the quality of the cut and service.

Highly recommend!

Unbelievable Service!!!!!!

by Happyinny

I have been going to Spectrym Salon for over 20 years and have never been disappointed! Everyone of the Stylists, and Assistants and Spa Workers are excellent. The owners and the receptionists are so friendly and are always acomadating. I have never had a problem. Only, amazing service and talent has ever come out of that salon.

What I have learnt from all my years in Forest Hills is communication is the key to everything that we encounter. It seems everyone is in a hurry and wants the cheapest service. I believe we get what we pay for. Everytime I speak to one of the stylists they are going to on class or another. They are up on all the new and creative education that is out there. I was recently in the city and needed a haircut I was staying there for the weekend. I paid 125.00 and was extremely dissapointed I went back to Spectrym and paid $50.00 for an excellent cut.

Good salon with nice people

by Jessica Day

I have been going to this salon for the past 5 years and it is pretty good compared to the other 20 I have tried. Consistency is something hard to find and I have to say even here I have not always found consistency.

Some people say that the owner is rude and I get that but the stylists are pretty good and friendly. Don't let the front desk workers or the owner reflect the stylists and spa workers. Plus in comparison to the other salons I have been to the owner is friendly especially in comparison to the snobby salons I tried out on Long Island.

I went to Spectrym with very uneven color, black in the front and brown in the back. I came out with all brown hair. It is not flawless as there are some parts by my ears which were very very dark that are still a little bit darker but it is significantly better than what I went in there with and cost half of what others would charge.

I recommend Paula for color but be very clear and from what I hear Robert for a cut although I have not yet tried a cut by him. However, over the past 5 years I have heard he is the best but didn't want to cheat on my other stylist at the time who happened to have the chair next to him. The clearer you are in any salon the better off you are.

don't waste your time

by revoltac

I just tried to make an appointment for a single process hair color. The guy who answered the phone couldn't give me any prices, didn't ask a single question (do you have grey? how long is your hair?, etc), and couldn't even tell me if they have any specials (which I know they do because I have seen it in the salon window which is right in front of the reception desk). If a salon can't even be professional on the phone with a new client - I'm too scared of the service I would get! They are getting 1 star because I can't get them ZERO which is what they deserve

Do not recommend this salon, at all!!

by jgross0315

This is by far the worst salon I have ever been to. The owner is completely disrespectful and undeserving of service. Totally overpriced for below average service. I've been to many above average salons within the five boroughs, and this has by far been my worst experience in a hair salon.
