Lori and Mark Rock!

by Simon Pearce at Citysearch

I moved to NY five years ago and literally stumbled into Salon Seven by chance. I had previously had a really fantastic hairdresser in London (Stefano at Ze Hair and Beauty on Fulham Road, in case anybody needs a great haircut in London). So I was used to a high standard of cut. Needless to say, Mark and Lori more than met that standard: with flair, creativity and a sixth sense for figuring out what their customers need.

That said, what I really like about the place is how laid back it is. It's essentially a neighborhood place, with just four chairs and a few neighborhood cats or dogs who come to visit from time to time. The more pretentious NY salons are all hype: you end up overpaying for mediocre cuts. This place is the opposite: a hidden gym on a quiet street in the East Village.

Mark and Lori are one of my NY rituals now!

• Pros: Attention to detail
• Cons: Lori only works a few days a week... get her when you can!

by Hazelbug at Citysearch

Why not 5 stars you ask....she only gives me her work number!! HAHA

• Pros: She knows her shit!
• Cons: HHHmmmm

Only getting better!

by Rob520 at Citysearch

What a happy accident! I had not had a haircut in over seven months and was in dire need of some help. Walked in and was greeted by Leslie (sp) who took one look and said she could help me. She did a terrific job and completely changed how I looked while still doing what I had asked for. It's been over a month and it has grown out better than any haircut I can remember. Thanks again Leslie!

This Haircut has changed my life!!

by trippleg at Citysearch

As a Sole Proprietor ( read BUSY) and a Long Haired Guy for many years- I was feeling the need for change- and called Lori at Salon Seven.

She was not only excited to give me a modern look- but she came to my studio to accommodate my frantic schedule!

On closer inspection, I couldn't help but notice her subliminal style and spectacular eye, so I gave her carte blanche to do as she saw fit; and I have NEVER gotten SO MANY compliments on my hair!

I still have shoulder length hair, but Lori made it modern, youthful and healthy looking!

Guys-If you are looking to update your look, Give her a call! I am SO glad I did!!

• Pros: For a few bucks more they will come to you!

Need a Great Haircut go see Leslie

by FFNYC at Citysearch

Getting a decent haircut even for men is hard to accomplish. Yes, there are a lot of salons especially in the east village but nothing beats the professional hands of Salon 7. I've been going there for a while and always had Leslie taking care of my cut. She is formidable and very knowledgeable. She knows her job really well especially when it comes to styling. Always on time and never had a bad day with Leslie. She's the best!!!

• Pros: Best hair stylists- They're awesome

Leslie is a godsend

by mavie at Citysearch

For 3years I have been going to salon seven. I have been seeing Leslie exclusively for me color, highlihts and haircuts. Her personable and genuine personality makes my visits all the more enjoyable but ultimately the real reason I use her services and no one else in Manhattan is that she is simply the best! I took a big risk in cutting off my very long hair to a short shag and Leslie's meticulous skill is priceless and hands-down unsurpassed. I have recommended her to friends who thank me for the referral almost daily. Salon Seven is great, Leslie is the best!

Best East Village high-end experience

by Emory at Citysearch

I had an incredible experience at this artsy little salon. Found it by walking to Luke's Lobster. I recognized it by the name for it's reputation proceeds itself. The stylists are extremely experienced, professional and patient. I had my hair colored with interesting chestnut highlights and my cut was done by the ubiquitous Mark. I can say the entire salon experience was relaxing and exciting and I love my hair! It's amazing how good you feel at the hands of true professionals. The price was unbelievably fair and actually I felt like I should have spent more. They worked so hard to please!

• Pros: Great shampoo, great art, talented stylists

Autumn's new Hair

by lferriter at Citysearch

I walk by Salon Seven everyday and it is really a cool little spot. I went to Porchetta and ate then walked into Salon Seven in hopes of a cut and highlite with a 15% discount. I took anyone available. Mark did the cut and Leslie did my highlites. I felt very trustful because of all the experience and great reviews...My hair is perfect, the color is very autumnal and the cut has a lot of movement. Just like a loreal commercial!! Recommend highly! - so much happier than the many salons I've tried in Chelsea or uptown. Be Back!

Finally Guys!

by diltom at Citysearch

I love a lot of gray hair in places. I tried a box and looked like an old man trying to be young. I am in finance and I am only 30 so my looks are important to me. Mark was voted the best on City Search for cuts and I went to Saori for color. they got it!! Its been tough. After the great hair exprecience I went to Lukes Lobster up the block, delicious, and considered this a great NYC day. Love Seventh Street!
