Why go anywhere else???

by Chgodancer at Citysearch

I relocated here from Chicago in May of 2005 and had a difficult time finding the perfect salon with the right people until I found Peter Ripley and Mauricio Cifuentes at the Christopher Stanley Salon. From the moment I entered the Salon I was impressed by the warm reception and the relaxed (ultra clean) environment. I have been to the Salon 4 times now for a haircut and color and have never been kept waiting, not even for a minute! When I arrived at the salon for my initial visit my hair was damaged and in desperate need of attention. I have straight, fine hair and unless cut properly results in a nightmare for me attempting to style it myself. Mauricio did a superb job of layering my hair and cutting it in a way that allows me to style it with ease. In the last few months my hair has grown longer than I've ever worn it and is healthier over all. Peter Ripley is masterful at achieving just the right warmth and color. He has helped me to gradually go from way to unnaturally blond to a more flattering brunette (my natural color). My hair is healthier and shinier than it's ever been, thanks to Peter Riply and Maurico Cifiuentes. Not only at they extremely talented and professional, they are down to earth and full of personality! I would recommend the two of them and this Salon to everyone!

• Pros: Great service, great color, great cut!!
• Cons: None!

Love, love, love my hair!

I'd been wanting to cut my long hair short and finally got the nerve! Mauricio did an amazing job and gave me a fantastic cut that I could not have been happier with!

Peter does my color and that is no easy task! I constantly change my color and Peter has done a fantastic job of bringing my ideas to life!

I'm totally addicted to Christopher Stanley Salon!

• Pros: BEST cut and color!

Im so Happy that I found Peter

by lizzardM at Citysearch

Peter did exactly what I wanted. I wanted to go darker than the over-process blond that I came in with. I had gone for a consultation to a salon a few doors down and they were going to single process me darker than my natural and that just didn’t seem right to me. So I left and passed Christopher Stanley Salon and decided to go in and see if I could get a consult there. I explained my situation and they immediately sent me to Peter – the best they said. He sat me down first and explained different approaches but told me that low-lights and some medium highlights would be the most healthy and natural way to go. He was right on! I had the most wonderful feeling as I sat with him and I made my appointment for the next day. I can’t tell you how happy I am with my new color and next week I’m seeing Maurico for my cut. Thank you, Peter.

• Pros: relaxed place with relaxed Peter

Great Place

by pelham456 at Citysearch

While I may not have written many citysearch reviews I can vouch for the high ratings that Christopher Stanley recieves. After living in nyc for over three yrs I was still going back to Boston to get my hair cut. Finally, after realizing I was being ridiculous, I began searching for a new place to go. I origionally tried out the CS salon because I was impressed with the comments on city search. Mauricio is amazing. My first appointment was about a year ago and I have gone back ever since -- Mauricio is the only hairdresser I have ever had where I constanty get complimented on my cut.

Something fishy with reviews.

by mslv at Citysearch

I was reading reviews here and found it strange that most the reviewers had written only one review.

The last highly reviewed salon I went too made my blonde hair yellow ! This salon also had 400+ positve reviews. Dont trust these reviews!

• Pros: Many Reviews
• Cons: Cant be trusted

The best!

by bd212 at Citysearch

I'm so happy I found the Christopher Stanley salon. Peter does the best highlights! I had been all over the place getting far less than good color for years until I found Peter at Christopher Stanley. I haven't been anywhere else since! Everyone is so nice and knowledgeable. I highly recommend!

Peter is amazing!

by meredith8888 at Citysearch

Peter always gives me the best highlights that don't turn brassy. I always feel fantastic when I leave the salon, and the color always blends nicely when it grows out.

• Pros: Knowledgeable staff, friendly folks
• Cons: None

Karen Is The Best

by PrettyGrrlNYC at Citysearch

I've been to many colorists in the city and I have to say Karen is the best. My highlights are bright, but natural and full of subtle dimension.

Karen is confident and fun and knows exactly what would look best on you.

• Pros: Excellent Color, Great Salon
