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

I Heart Peter and Stanley

by DANIGLO at Citysearch

I travel for these two men... and it's worth the time and the money. Not only are they talented but they are a wonderful team of love and humor. I know that should not be a part of why we go to our hair people, but it is such a big part of what these two men and this salon is all about. Talent and artistry beyond belief and then I receive warmth and wit on top of it all... it's a package I just cannot do without. Thanks for all you do Stanley and Peter... you'll never know how good you make me feel and how long it lasts... cut, color, heart and soul.

• Pros: Stanley and Peter make me smile!!!
• Cons: They are in another state

Peter @ Christopher Stanley - Best Colorist in NYC by far!!!

by jenjolove at Citysearch

Peter Ripley at the Christopher Stanley Salon in Manhattan is by far the most wonderful, most talented, kindest, sweetest, and BEST COLORIST I have ever been to. My hair feels healthier and looks the best it ever has. Go see him because you will not be disappointed.

• Pros: nice salon and Peter makes me feel great about myself

Keratin is fantastic!

by westsidegirl at Citysearch

I have VERY curly hair and Billy gave me the Keratin treatment. I enjoyed straight frizz-free hair all Summer long. I can’t even believe how fantastic it was. I use the shampoo and conditioner that they recommended and my hair has stayed straight for 2 months. I used to spend 30 minutes blowing my hair out – only to still have waves and frizz. I now spend 10 minutes and have perfect hair all day. Additionally, the salon is clean, relaxing and the staff is lovely. I would recommend Christopher Stanley and Billy to anyone!

• Pros: Excellent service, great salon
• Cons: none

a felt so special

by zoe Margolis at Citysearch

I have somewhere between curly and wavey hair but not a lot of it so I wanted to be able to do it myself. I presented myself to Stanley who was so nice and easy to work with.

He showed my how to do my hair, suggested where I might buy some great hair clips and how to take care of my very damaged hair. Next visit he turned me over to Peter who fixed the colour and again went over hair care with me. Peter made sure that when I left the salon, I was truly happy and so did Stanley. I then went back to Toronto where I followed their instructions and when I turned up three months later, I had, as Stanley had predicted nice undamaged hair. I would not let anyone but Stanley or Peter touch my hair for cut or colour again and for me that is a plane ticket.

• Pros: they really took time with me
• Cons: non that I can think of
