Christopher Crabaugh Beauty Formerly Christopher Stanley Salon

I must tell the truth that Peter has given me the most amazing and natural color I have ever had. He's funny, he's intelligent, he so talented, and he makes me feel welcome and comfortable every time I come to the salon. But again... the best part of it all is that Peter makes my hair look AMAZING and NATURAL. He brought me from mousy light brown to fabulous beautiful blond in one session and over the year gives me slight changes that make me feel fresh and updated. Go see Peter... and tell him I sent you... Happy In Manhattan... Pros: Peter Peter Peter Peter Peter more

Great salon. Relaxed environment. I have hair coloring done here and I have been very pleased with the results. The person who does the my color is very conscientious. She brings out color samples and makes sure that she has the appropriate one that matches my hair. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this salon to anyone. more

This is a very laidback downtown salon. Everyone is a serious pro, with no attitude. I have worked with assistants, and gotten great results. There is a really friendly vibe, and the stylists all help each other. I'm growing my hair out, and I had been doing my own roots. Stanley, who does magic with curly hair, gave me the right strategy for getting through the summer. Melissa gave an extra special touch correcting my hair color, and bringing the color back to a ""normal"" level.\r I returned a month later and Melissa worked magic bringing my color slightly lighter, without shocking my hair. My hair is now almost its natural color (minus the gray!)...and soft.\r In the chair, I've seen them do just about anything, and everything. Great recommendations for cuts, color, and products. Highly recommended. Pros: Creative people who can help you realize your look. Cons: You may be tempted to try something new! more

Stanley is like a psychiatrist for hair....making my unruly hair beautiful every time. Once Stanley cuts your hair you won't go anywhere else. more

I?ve seen quite a few of colorists on my quest for Mr./Ms. Right (Hair Colorist.) Each one left his or her mark on my hair and some were unremarkably satisfactory. But in the end, their color creations were really a product of their vision, not mine. (I have brown hair and wanted ?blonde? highlights, and for some reason my highlights would always come out more in the ?red? family). Then along came Peter, and he finally gave me exactly what I never got with the other colorists . Using his expertise he mixed the perfect shade!!! \r Unlike others in the profession that my hair has come into contact with, Peter listens and gives his advice so the result is better than anticipated! Without committing any foolish-color mistakes, he is able to see the color not only in your skin tone, but the color in your life. \r I?ve looked and researched (and I admit that I am pretty obsessive when it comes to researching) and am so lucky and happy that I found Peter Ripley at the Christopher Stanley Salon (this salon is also the best - it has the ?nicest? people and is welcoming ! ) \r I can recommend Peter without reservation (though you?ll need a reservation to see him ! ) Pros: All more

The only reason I don't want to write a review is that I'm afraid if I share the secret I'll never get an appointment again! Ther Apprentice Stylist/Colorist program is a phenomenal deal. You get an absolutely professional job at a fraction of the cost. I used Shane and now Melissa for color (blond, single-process) and they are both terrific. Miguel at the desk is a dream and both Christopher and Stanley couln't be nicer. There are only certain days you can book but the savings make it worth it. I come all the way from the UWS. Pros: The price and the people. Cons: Not very accessable via subway from some areas more

I had never had my hair highlighted before and was very nervous about making sure I chose the right colorist to do the job....I couldn't have made a better decision going to see Christopher. He listened to my thoughts and offered some good suggestions of his own. I love my highlists. Very natural! more

I had all but given up on my hair when I tried Mauricio at Christopher Stanley Salon. I have very difficult hair it is thin but coarse so it never dries and gets frizzy. I have to wear it long but then it doesnt maintain a style. The most i was ever able to do with it was make it long and straight, which kinda dragged me down and also made it look like I didnt do my hair. But Mauricio must have magical scissors because after his cut my hair looked like i had always dreamed it would look it was smooth and wavy with long layers. When I got home and restyled it myself I was even more suprised to see I was totally able to maintain the style. more

Getting a good colorist is really hard to do. Finding one and sticking with the person is not an easy task. I tried CS after reading about it online somewhere. And i never went to another salon again! I always use an apprentice and my experience has been nothing but professional and absolutely perfect coloring. In fact, the colorists in training are better then regular staffers at most other salons. If you want to save some money, book an appointment with the apprentice and don't be nervous about it. Pros: Friendly staff, very relaxed atmosphere, easy to get evening appointments, location more

I have curly hair and have tried many so-called curly hair specialists. No one has done a better job on my hair than Mauricio at Christopher Stanley. He is simply the best! more
