Great haircuts with Patti

by dki201

I've been going to the Yves Durif salon for a few years now for haircuts with Patti and occasional highlights with David. The haircuts Patti gives me always look great and grow out really well. She's also so friendly and sweet that it really is a joy to visit the salon.

I've also had highlights with David, who is fabulous as well. My highlights always look great and grow out in a way that look very natural. The price for highlights with David recently went up, and they were already a lot to begin with, so I don't know how often I'll have them done at this point (maybe only once a year).

The salon recently moved to The Carlyle, and I have to say that I do miss the old location in the townhouse, as it was larger and in a more convenient location. But the location at The Carlyle is very nice as well, just a bit on the "cozier" side.

• Pros: Haircuts that look great with friendly service
• Cons: Pricey (but worth it, I think)

From Poof to Pin....=)

by Jstoney030

I have been going to Patti for over 10 years. I have followed her from place to place and I wouldn?t do that if she was not worth it! I have very thick wavy hair, and wear it back often because I usually do not know what to do with it. Each and every time I leave her, my hair is pin-straight and I feel confident and beautiful. I couldn?t recommend her more!

Best Internationally

by DNMICH

If you want a perfect hair cut , go to Yves. I have had cuts in the leading salons in London, Paris, Rome, Adelaide and Singapore. I finally found nirvana with Yves. I have been flying in to the city from Michigan, for the past 10 years, for only Yves to cut my hair. It is perfection every time and I am not an easy person to please. I travel globally and have had to go for several months without a cut. My hair always looks perfectly groomed, even with vast climate changes, because of his skillful expertise. He is a true master of hair and a treasured find.

• Pros: perfection every time
• Cons: none

Haircut

by Guyjaque

Yves Durif is a master craftsman. Over the years I've been to a bevy of haridressers from NY and LA to London and Paris. While their work looked good in the salon, once I got home and tried to do-it-myself the results were not so impressive. I have hair that looks easy to cut, but is deceptively difficult. Some of the hair is fine and straight and some is course and curly....and there's a lot of it. I've been going to Yves for over three years now, and every cut has been superb. He's an artist who knows how to make people look and feel their best.

Disappointed - Twice

by jctapley

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but Yves cut my hair twice and each time, it was probably the worst cut I've ever had. The first time, he's spent 30 minutes criticizing my existing cut saying that the sides were uneven. When I left, I thought his cut was unremarkable but perhaps it would come alive when I did it at home. Instead, when I got home, I realized that he had FLIPPED the asymmetry and he texturized one side way more than the other. It was far worse than my original cut. I had to live with it for 5 weeks. When I returned, I showed him the problem and explained how impossible it was to work with. He said he would fix it. You know how hard it is to really assess a cut when you're sitting 10 feet from a mirror and the stylist has just blown it out, right? Well, it didn't look bad but - again - when I got home, it was clear that he did NOTHING to correct the problem. I spent $400 on 2 haircuts that were a total waste. Now, I have to pay someone to fix it once and for all. I'll never go back.

P.S. While I was there, I overhead another stylist tell a client, "I NEVER let Yves cut my hair..." Maybe try another stylist...?

• Pros: Beautiful Salon
• Cons: Terrible haircut - twice!

Gorgeous haircuts

by georgiagirls

It was our first visit to the salon, and we had a delightful experience!!! My girlfriend and I had haircuts with Patti and Maysoon. We both looked amazing!! When paying our bill, the handsome gentleman at the desk, Mark, was extremely gracious and not only helped us with the best products to keep ourselves looking beautiful, but also directed us to the best restaurant to eat at across the street, named 212, and informed us of the hottest and trendiest shopping areas in town!!! Thanks so much from a couple of Georgia Girls!!

• Pros: beautiful hair, charming staff
• Cons: none
