hair color horror banished

by stkelly at Citysearch

Went in looking like a washed out tortoise-shell cat and left feeling beautiful. Weeks later, a stranger woman on the subway told me I had beautiful eye color! Never heard that one before. (My eyes are brown!) It's because my highlights are gorgeous and lighten my eyes, uncannily. Beauty doesn't come cheap though, I've never been charged separately for lowlights and highlights before - in about 25 years of getting salon color in NYC.

Worst Salon Experience

by Collins Ferebee at Citysearch

Im new in the city and went to janet's to get my roots done. The stylist helping me must have put on something way too strong and it started to scold my head. She only left it on for a matter of minutes- not even able to finish coloring- because of the intensive pain. She claimed that i must have had an allergic reaction and did not seem at all apologetic. I now have fried roots, which is not an allergic reaction but her coloring error. When i talked to Janet about this she took no responsibility for her employee. Telling me she didnt do it, she seemed frustrated and annoyed with my speaking to her. She told me the only way she would fix it is if i paid her to. I understand beauty mistakes happen, but the lack of consideration really upset me the most. I have never had a worse salon experience.

• Cons: poor customer service and quality

Yuval's talent is unmatched

by jdiwidjwidj at Citysearch

I just got my hair cut and colored by Yuval this week and the results are remarkable! I've been going to different stylists for the past few years in the area and everyone is pretty much all about their own egos and opinions until I walked into Janet Rufin's Parlor and asked for Yuval (he was recommended by a co-worker). I told him I wanted something cool and hip, but still conservative (i'm a investment equities attorney). He totally knew what to do with color and highlights as to not be toooo too edgy, but still a little rad. And the cut is equally amazing!

Yuval (he told me i could call him YUVI) is such a fun person to talk to. My mom is scheduled to get fixed up by Yuval next week, and i've already recommended like 6 people from my job.

Highly recommended and can't wait to go back!

Yuval is truly talented.

by brwneyds at Citysearch

Yuval has cut my hair twice so far; the first cut and blow-dry were AMAZING! I looked like a different person…

Then Yuval cut my hair a second time and I decided to try a drastic cut this time. I fully trust Yuval to cut my hair 12”!!!

I look fantastic, I get comments everywhere I go on how great my hair looks.

Make sure to ask him about the hydrating treatment, it will change your hair!

I can’t say enough good things about Yuval; he is very talented and I highly recommend.

• Pros: Great vision.

YUVAL

by ohQFohSNG at Citysearch

Yuval is hands down the best hairstylist in New York City! It takes a lot to trust someone with your hair, and I can't recommend him enough. I've been a client of his for about 5 years now. I am so excited every time I make an appointment. Yuval's energy is so contagious...he LOVES what he does and his whimsical passion to make someone feel amazing is off the charts. His style, both with cuts and color, is classy, edgy and vogue all at the same time. He is an attentive listener, not to mention attractive as hell!

Yuval also has the most amazing moisturizing/scalp hydration treatments! EVERYONE should get one of these a few times a year, especially as we approach the cold/dry season.

I can't recommend Yuval's services enough! You will walk away looking great and feeling great for spending an hour or two with him.

The salon/parlor that he works at is super trendy as well, very old New York style with cutting edge decor...very impressive! And great, convenient Chelsea location.

• Pros: Most passionate hair stylist in NYC!!

Yuval

by chaspat at Citysearch

Yuval has been my stylist of choice for the last several years. After going from salon to salon for years I was fortunate enough to land in Yuval's chair when he was recommended to me by another well respected stylist in the city. From the very first cut, he had me with his flair and sense of style. He is passionate about his craft and it is evident in his work. One of the many great things about Yuval is that he can create a new, fresh look that is stylish and maintainable. When I want a change. I just let him do what he does best and I can truly say that I've never been disappointed. Often times I leave feeling that it's the best cut and look I've ever had. I am highly recommending Yuval. If you want the very best, put your hair and your trust in Yuval's hands.

• Pros: Cutting edge stylist

wonderful hair care

by Magdalene B at Citysearch

It's always a bit iffy to go to a new hair salon, but my hair was about three months overdue. I loved Sayuri and thought she did an amazing job with both cut and color.

• Pros: Nice, listened to what I wanted, perfect color & cut

I love my hair!

by danikasydlosky at Citysearch

First time visit: I met my new stylist Sayuri for a trim but I got antsy for a change... and made a last-minute decision to do a full chop. She walked me through it with MUCH patience and attention and I walked out with a perfect fresh cut - exactly what I wanted! Not to mention, the place is adorable and the staff is cool AND friendly (v rare in salons).

I just decided to go back today for color. That should say it all.

• Pros: atmosphere, staff, and price
• Cons:

YUVAL - my amazing stylist is now at Janet Rufin's Parlor

by rachb at Citysearch

My most beloved stylist/colorist Yuval (formally at XacAnthony Salon & Spa), just started working at Janet Rufin's Parlor and I am THRILLED!!

Yuval is by far the best stylist I have ever met, his colors/cuts/highlights are superb and he can do everything from funky and bold to classy and upscale. I have been going to Yuval for over 5 years now and I am excited he found this warm, inviting space for himself to work. The place is cute, attitude-free and there's a nice back yard to relax in :-)

I highly recommend Yuval for anything you need, his technique and skill level are beyond what you would expext, he listens to you, understands your needs, and gives you a hair style that is unique for you, for your overall style, your everyday life and needs. And believe it or not, he has no ounce of attitude. Yuval is truly as creative as they ever come!!!

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YUVAL AND I LOVE THIS SALON, you really can't go wrong!!!

• Pros: GREAT HAIR (color/ Highlights / cuts) & zero attitude!
• Cons: NONE
