I was looking for a new stylist as my stylst simply left town no word, no forwarding salon, etc which is really a shame because I absolutely loved her! I went onto Citysearch and checked many salons before deciding to give this salon a try. I am sorry I did! After I read all of the great reviews on here, I was lead to believe this salon would rank as one of the best in the city, boy was I wrong! I had my appointment with Brandin. We made small talk, I asked him how long he had been doing hair, he answered a couple of years (that should have been my first clue as to how this experience was to end up!) The whole feel of the salon was cheap and was too casual and lacked energy (border-line unprofessional) there wasn't even a receptionist when I walked in(the place was empty), and once She did she wasn't very polite, she seemed bored and unhappy at just being there. I had my hair highlighted and cut by this stylist, (Brandin) he gave me a choppy haircut that one of my relatives or my husband could have done a better job at doing(for free!) and the highlights looked more like tiger stripes(I had told him during our consultation that I wanted a very natural look) that is not what I got! The color was also canary yellow, I suggested we put a color over the highlights and even after that it still looked bad. All I can say is people avoid this place! too many positive reviews are or should be suspicious (perhaps they are writing some of their own reviews?) and my question to this business is.....who at this salon was awarded best of Citysearch for not one but 2 or 3 years in a row?! as Brandin was the only one doing hair while I was there for 3 hours +! I sure wished I had that stylist(the one that got voted Best of Citysearch, if they in fact exist?) do my hair instead of how I ended up looking like! Never again!
Pros: Can't think of one positive thing to say honestly!
Cons: Untrained stylist, empty salon,lacking energy,over-priced, neighborhood questionable(not Union Square!) Impolite
