At last I found it

by Jessica 75

I've been in NYC for 5 years, I come from Italy, and 5 years is exactly how long it took me to find Salon O2. I finally found a colorist that knows what she is doing, Maria listens to what I say and from there she tells me what she thinks and we work together on the best look for me. The result is that I look fabulous, and I don't run home to retouch my hairdo or to look up other saloons because once again I'm not happy. I've never been so satisfied before. The saloon is classy yet without an attitude, everyone is charming and makes me feel important but at ease. It's like one I'm in there everything is taken care of. Keep up with the goos work!

• Pros: Warm and professional atmosphere, price is just right, Maria
• Cons: None

Marlene is Spectacular...

by rskendall

The following is absolutely the truth. One person (Marlene @ O 2 Salon) has cut my hair for over 30 years. I originally lived in NYC but moved 10 years ago but find a way every month to visit NYC. There is no discussion as Marlene knows what I like. Marlene is an artist. She focuses. She is careful. She always goes the extra mile to make people happy even beyond her styling talents. She is special and I always enjoy our interesting dialogue. I do not write reviews often but I am confident with the accuracy of what I have shared.

• Pros: Marlene is a meticulous perfectionist
• Cons: Zero

Great Haircut!

by KG2

It was my first time to the salon, a friend recommended me to Betina. She was wonderful. We had a thorough consultation. The shampoo and head massage was fantastic. Everyone was so accommodating. I love my new haircut, it's been so easy for me to maintain, and I will certainly be returning.

• Pros: People are very sweet and talented, and price is right!
• Cons: although atmosphere is comfortable, it's a little dark

Highlights with Maria

by ljusharig

I have been following Maria for about six years and can't imagine going elsewhere for my highlights. She knows just how to give me that "scandinavian blond" look that I love so much. I've seen her do everything from subtle color to extreme, "of the moment " color on her clients and she always respects your personal style yet always offers objective suggestions. I always leave feeling fabulous and have been stopped by several women on the street to ask who does my hair color...you can't get better advertising than that!

• Pros: relaxing, professional, Maria
• Cons: inexperienced assistants washing hair, cost

Maria is the best for color!

by QTnyc

I was first drawn to Salon O2 by the great Citysearch reviews and I am happy I found my way to this great salon. I have been going to Salon O2 for about a year and a half and I've been a loyal customer of Maria for highlights the entire time. She is fantastic! She is so great at selecting the perfect tone of color that will look great on me and works well with my current hair cut. I know I can just show up for my appointment and Maria will take care of the rest and I can walk out looking fabulous! The salon is also very efficient and well run. Definitely ask for Maria for color at Salon O2!

• Pros: Maria is the best colorist! Well run and efficient salon!
• Cons: Not cheap

Great Service and Tranquil Atmosphere

by liz4444

I haven't seen many reviews of O2 that mentioned their student "hair model" cuts... I just got one of those, and it was a great experience. The student practicing on me was named MJ, and he did a fantastic job.

The salon itself is lovely environment, and I'll definitely be going back.

• Pros: Nice people (and they listen to you!), great atmosphere, beautiful cut

Modern Salon, Amazing Highlights

by Lacy34

Salon o2 is very modern, tranquil and peaceful. More importantly I received the best highlights ever from Paula. My highlights make my hair look sun kissed. I love them! Ask for caramel colors and you will love the way Paula does them. She is amazing. Very nice too!

• Pros: Modern, Amazing Color

Great technic, great service

by tradshow

I had so many bad haircuts in my life, never I had a stylist who look at my face, body shape and even considered my life style before recommending a hair style just for me!

I felt like a VIP from the minute I walked in, the shampoo and services are top quality. Not to mention the great haircut that was tailored just for me! I had so many compliments from all my friends and family... This is my salon for life!

• Pros: service
