Roy Michaels Salon

I had a great experience at the Roy Michaels Salon! Loved the people as well as the inviting environment and outdoor patio! Derek did my color...what a FABULOUS job! I left the salon loving my hair and never had so many compliments! Kazu cut my hair and again I loved it! I usually am not so happy after a haircut and need about a good month for me to get used to it but not with this cut! He styled it beautifully and the cut lasted for quite some time as any good cut should! I would definitely recommend this salon for the friendly staff, service and most importantly satisfaction!

Pros: Great staff and friendly service! Outdoor sitting area good for relaxing!

I have been going to Roy Michaels salon for about 2 years now. I've been to soooo many salons in Manhattan and Queens after my regular guy left my Astoria salon. I've had my hair fried, ruined and overpaid for mediocre highlights elsewhere (once $580 without tip!) until I came to Roy Michaels. Dawn does my amazing highlights and keeps me looking like a natural blonde and Kazu gives me such magnificent cuts I can go without using a blowdrier. All this and they are no where near as expensive as other places I've been. I will continue to be a loyal customer :)

Kazu is to date the only person I go back to time and time again for haircutting and styling, he is fabulous, each time. The rest of the staff is friendly, unpretentious, and professional. Nice people.

I was so fortunate to find such an amazing salon a few blocks away from my office. I always look forward to my haircuts with Roy and I have been faithfully going to him for almost 5 years now. I don't think I could ever go anywhere else. Bill is always so accommodating to get me in for an early morning appointment. The entire staff goes out of their way to make you feel comfortable and make you look wonderful. Just as I have been faithful to this salon, it seems that the staff are equally faithful to Roy; time after time I see the same stylists, colorists ... even the sweet women who wash my hair... there appears to be very little turn over and that speaks volumes to me. Roy Michaels Salon is an absolute gem.

I just had my hair straightened using the Thermo Reconditioning (Japanese Straightening) process. This is my 4th year having it straightened at Roy Michaels and my hair has never looked better. Tired of struggling with frizzy, dry, dull hair? Just try this process once and you will be hooked. I highly recommend Tim. He is the ultimate professional especially with this process. If you’re looking for a comfortable atmosphere where the staff is friendly and kind, with no sales pressure ever, then Roy Michaels is the place for you.

I once heard that you shouldn't buy shoes or have your hair cut more than a mile from 57th Street and Madison. This is the kind of salon that made the area famous, without any of the attitude that can drive you away. Every single staffmember, from the lady who takes your coat to the owner, is not just an expert but a very nice person. It's such an unpretentious, comfortable place that you feel very much at home. Coffee cake on the terrace and rotating art work are nice touches, but the reason people come back is that THEY NEVER MESS YOU UP. They genuinely want you to look good, whether it is a simple haircut and blowdry or fixing some other salon's really bad bleach job. Time and again I hear people say they fly in from another state because Elsa is a color genius and Nana always remembers which side you like your part on. If I ever move, I will fly back, too.

Pros: Expert operators who are genuninely caring.

Cons: The only one I can think of is small chairs.

My wife, my daughter, my son-in-law, and my grandaughter age 9 all come here once a month. Besides the fabulous haircuts and the friendly owners; the backyard is a wonderful place on sunny days to have a cup of coffee and a piece of danish and some friendly conversation.

Pros: my fifth hair salon all around town and the one i like the best.

Cons: it's on the east side

I've been to a couple of the stylists at Roy Michael's and I have to give credit where credit is due. Kazu gave me a great haircut the first time and my most recent experience was with Tim who did an outstanding job! My hair is very flat but Tim cut in such a way that it grows back with style. He used probably 6 different types of scissors, all serving a different purpose. I will have to go back.

Extremely happy with my visit! The staff is friendly, kind, and it is an all around great atmosphere. I was able to sit outside on the terrce and read while waiting for my hightlights to finish. I am very happy with the results. Dawn does a fantastic job with the color, and Roy is amazing with the style and cut. I highly recommend Roy Michael's to anyone who is looking for a change with their hair. A+ Guys!

Pros: talented staff, friendly

I had the opportunity to get my hair cut at Roy Michaels and I was very impressed! Roy Michaels is a very classy place. I was recommended to have Kazu cut my hair and he did a great job! I have a few oddities with the way my hair grows and most stylists just give me the run of the mill cut and then my hair looks bad for a couple of weeks. Kazu was great in that he really HOW to cut my hair. Plus he really took his time. I got comments for a couple of days what a great hair cut I got. I would highly recommend him!
