High-end stylists without the high end price

by susanb2 at Citysearch

I've been visiting this salon for almost two years now and love it. I discovered this place in my neighborhood after spending $95-$125 on various salons around the city. I was never satisfied with the way they dealt with my thick, wavy Asian hair (and the cuts never lasted very long). My stylist Pich (who charges $50) is amazing. He knows the cuts that are appropriate for hair's texture and the way it falls and tends to curl. I've been able to experiment with varying lengths, including wearing my hair long for the first time since I was six, thanks to Pich's expert layering. My hair has never looked better and I get great compliments for weeks after.

Service is friendly and attentive (the receptionist, Stella, is terrific). And the massages are great. Highly recommended!!

• Pros: Friendly staff, extremely skilled stylists, great massages
• Cons: None

This salon does everything right, great receptionist and not too big so you feel like you get the personal service you want. My stylist was excellent and i've sent some friends that have been very happy with their cuts and color....highend stylists for a moderate price...fast and attentive, perfect!

Best in East Midtown

Excellent, friendly service and a very clean studio. After your shampoo and before your cut, expect a great massage (from the lady who washes your hair) that lasts for about five minutes. Now you're relaxed and ready for a great cut. My stylist was Alice - very nice, very good, and actually took time during my massage to assemble a few photos of male model head shots to ask if any had haircuts that I liked. Two thumbs up! I'll be back.

• Pros: High quality, Very clean, Good value
• Cons: None
