by mmarcy00 at Citysearch

My best two friends are going for years to Gigi`s place-to do hair with Nem-and i heard all stories about how great he is ....and yesterday i decide to give guy a chance and see whay is all buzz about him....(and now i`m writing this review:)...i have very-very long hair and wanted some new style for winter,so i sit down and said to him to do what ever he thinks will look good on me-and he gave me the best cut ever-EVER !!! Now i`m making plans to give him chance to do some blond shades on me (that i never have guts to do)-couse i think i found stylist for years to come.

Nothing Special

by ZariaMorris at Citysearch

Not a memorable experience, just a regular cut and color. I found that their neighbor Saloon is better at cuts and colors, and recommend them more so.

• Pros: Having some wine
• Cons: The hair service

Just ok

by IpanemaGurl at Citysearch

Gigi cut my hair, and it took 2 hours because he kept stopping to talk on his cell phone. One girl washed my hair, one girl brushed my hair and pulled on it. Then one girl blow dried my hair and burned my scalp. I hated the style and Gigi did not listen to anything I asked for or talked about during the cut. I was very disappointed after reading such great reviews.

• Pros: Good products
• Cons: Expensive, out of style

Great service, reasonably priced

by JAnyc at Citysearch

I feel compelled to write a review (something I rarely do) after seeing a negative reviewer say, "they obviously write their own reviews." BS- there are a lot of people who live in the 'hood that swear by this place, me included. I've been going here for the past few years I've lived in the neighborhood, and I've only had one cut/color that wasn't what I really wanted, from some guy I'm pretty sure doesn't work there any more. I love Christina, Edyta, Vickie, Lindsey, and Gigi for my cuts. You really can't beat the prices, and I get a lot of good feedback on my hair. Whenever my sister comes to NYC, she sees Christina (probably spelled wrong) for a cut and color. I've always had a pleasant, relaxing visit here and would recommend it strongly, especially if you go see any of the aforementioned stylists.

• Pros: Great staff

Amazing!

by Annutka at Citysearch

I used to have hair up to my knee, and the first person who cut it chopped it into a bob instead of my waist as I instructed. From then on it took until Nam for me to really trust a stylist. He listened to what I wanted, and gave me something better than I could ever expect. He also showed me how to get the same results at home. I have long long hair now, and its hard to get a really cool modern look, he managed to achieve that. I never got so many compliments or so many people stop me on the street! Love you Nam!

• Pros: great cut, great service
• Cons: its not next door to my house

new fav salon

by zippymagee at Citysearch

I went here for my first time on a recommendation of my friend. I saw Hina for a color glaze and cut. She did a perfect job on the color, exactly what I was looking for. And I've had some bad color jobs, hence why I was looking for a new salon. She also did a really nice cut for me, making the subtle changes I asked for and not going crazy with the scissors. The salon itself was lovely. Everyone was outgoing, kind and my appointment was on time. I've sat in salons before feeling ignored and passed over, not here though! The only con is that when I called and asked how much the color glaze usually starts at, I was told they start at $40. When I went to pay, the receptionist told me they start at $60 for the roots and $80 for all over. So I ended up paying double what I was expecting for the color. But because it turned out so well and the experience was so nice I really didn't mind paying the extra price. The cut was $40 and the overall price was worth my trip there, not to mention how nice it is to have such a great salon a few blocks from my apartment. Recommended!

• Pros: great salon, great hair
• Cons: price change

LOVED THIS PLACE!

by Raffina at Citysearch

Loved this place! I have finally found a new hair dresser! I just had a cut and color with Lindsay and she was great! Totally listened to me, gave me suggestions and brought my color back to LIFE! Price was just where I wanted to be esp. in comparison to some NYC hair salons! Great place!

great experience, excellent service

by candy2109 at Citysearch

I went for my appt. on Monday last week and as soon as I walked in I was quickly assisted. Everyone there was so friendly. As soon as I sat down, Hina walked over, introduced herself and sat down with me to discuss what I was interested in doing with my hair. I explained I wanted something different and needed a professional oppinion on what would look best on me. I already had some faded highlights and my brown roots were growing out. She recommended I go with my natural base color and add a few subtle highlights. Hina and her assistant, Tina were great, explaining what they were doing the whole time!

Hina also cut my hair and it was amazing because she did exactly what i was looking for and she was always asking how i was feeling.

For the past week and a half, I have been getting complimented everywhere I go. . Thank you Soo much Hina!!!!!!!

• Pros: best Highlights and cuts in town
