It was my first visit but it won't be my last!

I am currently a cosmetology student learning to cut and color hair, so it's no surprise that there are a number of students and teachers who would be willing to cut my hair for free. Thing is, I am very, very picky. I have a short hair, and haircuts tend to be a nightmare. I am always worried I will end up looking like I have a mans hair cut, or worse, no particular "style" at all. In an effort to find someone who could bring me an edgy European short a-line cut, I made an appointment with Hiroshi, the owner of Salon 02. Lucky me, he had an appointment open that evening. From the moment I walked in I felt at ease. The receptionist was an absolute darling, he took my coat and bag, while we cracked a few jokes. After changing, I was offered a drink and a comfortable spot to sit. I had arrived almost a half an hour early, and Hiroshi made time to come over and greet me while explaining that he had one client before me. Again, I was early, and he had me in his chair on time. Our consultation was great. I told him what I was looking for and gave him the freedom to add anything he wanted. The assistant was very friendly, and helped me out with some special needs (healing ear piercings) while she washed my hair. As for the cut with Hiroshi....and remember this is coming from another hairstylist...amazing! He put so much detail into the cut, creating striking angles that complimented my head and face shape. I learned a great deal from Hiroshi, and I will be back for more. Thanks again Salon 02...you were all wonderful to be around!
- Pros: Talented Stylists, Beautiful Salon, Great Location

Marlene is Spectacular...

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!

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!

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
awesome experience!

I got my hair cut and highlighted here. Penny did the cut and she was awesome!!! I highly recommend her. She is very professional and gives really great haircuts. Paola did my color and she also did a really great job. My hair has grown out very nicely and I am recommending this salon to all of my friends.
- Pros: great cuts and color
- Cons: What are the drawbacks?

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

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

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!

I visited Salon O2 and had a haircut with Hiroshi, I had many bad experiences prev, but this one was very positive. He gave me a very modern cut. I wanted something abit daring and he gave me bob with a very nice angle.
