I was hesitant to try someone new after 15 years with the same hair dresser. I got lucky when I found Jeanise. She's the best! At our initial meeting, she took her time to evaluate my hair and didn’t try to push me into anything I didn’t want. She also suggested that I have a protein treatment. What a life saver! My hair has never been this healthy and my color looks so natural. I've gotten a number of complements since Jeanise has graced me with her magic touch. THANK YOU!!!!!!

Pros: Professional, Great Atmosphere, No Pressure

I found this salon through Lifebooker where they were offering 50% off haircuts and coloring. I was so pleased with my cut and color! The staff were courteous and timely and I loved the end result! I will definitely be returning here and to Lifebooker for other amazing beauty deals! Thanks!

i had my hair hilighted by david lyle jones and it came out beautiful; everybody loved it. he was patient and didn't push me to cut my hair. he said i should let it grow another inch before shaping it. he used a baliage method for the hilights and it looks fresh and natural. the people who work there are so welcoming and do their best to make you comfortable. i highly recommend this place.

Pros: great skill and welcoming employees

Cons: none

Found my favorite hair colorist here. Her name is Ariane Garcia. She is awesome. She made me feel really comfortable and the aftermath of what she had done to my hair was exactly what I wanted. Thanks a million, Ariane!

I have been getting my hair straightened with the Japanese treatment for 4 years now. The very first time I had the treatment I got it done at a salon (I wont mention where) and they FRIED it!! It was the most horrible experience I ever had. It turned me off completely to the whole treatment and threw me into a depression for weeks, until my friend recommended Masako. I made an appointment for a consultation and Masako treated my hair with deep conditioner to repair the damage then i followed up with two more conditioning appointments until my hair was ready to try the Japanese straightening again. When it was ready Masako gave me the treatment and completely turned my life around! my hair was AMAZING! I now follow up with my treatments every 6 months! I would never go anywhere else!!! She is the BEST!

Pros: skillful and talented straight out of Japan

Cons: expensive

Masako of Xac anthony salon came highly recommended to me by a co worker of mine! English isn't her first language but her message to me was very loud and clear... " I am the best " Well, she didn't say that... but as she explained how it works to me, I was certain she was! I never had anyone take so much time and effort in making my hair look so good as Masako did. Its been a few weeks now.. my hair is so silky smooth and I never had so many compliments before. Her cuts are very precise. She gave me a wonderful shape to my face and it compliments the straightening. Thank you so much Masako!!!

Pros: Talent and atmosphere

Cons: none

I am in the entertainment business and I recently went to Xac Anthony salon to get extensions put in my hair to make it fuller and longer for my music video. Lysette hair make-up artist and what I call one fabulous extension specialist with the assistance of Ariane Garcia their top of the line colorist took a sandy blond hair and matched it perfectly to my red hair. I had long layered beautiful full red hair by the time I walked out of there I felt like a new woman with the confidence of a superstar. In the video wind blowing thru my hair lights camras action my hair looked flawless and I flet so beautiful. I highly recommend anyone thinking about getting this done check out Xac Anthony salon and ask for Lysette Drumgold

Pros: EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS SALON IS AMAZING

As soon as you walk through the door you are treated like royalty. You get greeted and asked if you would like a drink as if you are a guest in a home. The salon itself is gorgeous! The interior is absolutely amazing. I went the day of my birthday to get a specific pin up look. I walked in with a book of paintings, 1960's pin-up by Gli Elvgren, and i showed Lysette D., a hair stylist there. She simply looked at the picture and did my hair by storm. She was incredible and precise. I have to say leaving Xac Anthony's I felt like the pin up girl in the Gli Elvgren painting. I couldn't believe it was me staring back in the mirror. It was a breathtaking experience. I would recommend any and all women and men to go and experience the memorable experience that is Xac Anthony's Salon and Spa.

Pros: Star Treatment, Amazing service, Friendly, Percise, everything you would want in your local salon

I have had my hair cut and colored by David Lyle Jones several times now. His work is meticulous and detailed. He takes the time to do the job right. Part of his process is to fully explain what he is doing, and then does what he promises. I have never had my hair cut or colored so well - ever! And it lasts too..... He high-lighted my hair with a balliage/hair painting technique that is so natural, I get complements even to the point when Im going in to get them touched up.... unbelievable. Thank you again.... I just found that he has moved to a new location: Fiber Hair Spa, 789 Lexington Ave, call : 646-478-9991 For an appointment

Pros: great work, and no attitude

Cons: none

I've been without a hairstylist for almost a full year now, and have bounced around to a number of places that either made me look like a Texan bimbo, a tart or I felt like i was thrown on a conveyor belt of beauty, rushed through and billed. This place is on the opposite end of the spectrum. The colorist, Jenise sat with me for a good 10 minutes to get an idea of what I wanted, my recent history, what works for me, what doesn't. And she actually LISTENED. And then Lenny cut my hair, and same story: He actually wanted to know what I've tried in the past, what worked, what made me happy, what I wanted today. And he LISTENED TOO! They gave me wine, the tended to my every need, the people there - everyone from the woman that shamppod me to the guy that hung my coat - the customer service ranks up there with Nordstrom. Couldn't be better. And then to top it all off, I went downstairs for a massage at their new spa. Anthony. He has the hands of a god. amazingly strong. the space was so relaxing and he gave the best massage I've had outside of Thailand. To sum it up neatly: no one but Lenny and Jenise will touch my hair again, not for a long long time. And I will never go anywhere else for a massage, not as long as Anthony works there. Amazing. And an amazing place.

Pros: Ambience, expertise, cutting edge, wine, attention to customer

Cons: It isn't my little secret anymore. crowds are catching on.
