Oleg Kaz Salon

My first time at Oleg Kaz Salon was today, I have been bouncing between different hair salons trying to find the right one and finally I am wildly pleased. Oleg Kaz is the BEST!! He fixed my awful, stripy, outgrown highlights and made them subtle and sophisticated. Then Olga gave me the exact haircut that I described to her. Everyone was so friendly and polite. There is absolutely no attitude here. I highly recommend Oleg Kaz Salon, and I am not going to anyone else!!! more

I was daring and desperate and did something I have never done, I asked some one on the subway, Who does her color!! I was well rewarded for my courage. I found Agata! She is a professional, intuitive, courteous hair color specialist! Agata did an amazing job highlighting my hair. The place is very friendly and quiet. There is no drama or self- importance and you will be out in no time! Every body was very accommodating, and I love my highlights! definitely going back to see Agata! I really recommend this place. THANK YOU AGATA!! Pros: very clean salon the massage at the sink was amazing!! Thank You Oleg Kaz Salon more

I came across Oleg Kaz Salon by paging through the reviews on the best highlights in NYC. I am 26 years old and have been getting my color done for 10 years. This is the first time anyone has ever cared about my hair. Agata was amazing, she made me feel so comfortable, and she didn't make me feel that my request to be platinum was unattainable. I can't wait until I have roots so I can go to see Agata again. They are reasonably priced, and conveniently located in the Heart of UWS. more

My hair needed to have color- correction because the last person who did my highlights (at Jeffrey Stein) totally screwed it up!! My hair needed to be colored back to its natural shade to get rid of all the over highlighting and than be re-highlighted all over. Oleg Kaz colored my hair, and he was very accommodating and he explained the procedure I needed to me in a very professional manner. He did a beautiful job. It looks very natural. He also recommended that we glaze the hair with a gloss. That made my hair incredibly shiny. He told me that I am not leaving this salon unhappy and he would do everything to make sure I got exactly what I wanted. I am very pleased and can't wait to go back. I was not expecting to spend the extra money to have my hair corrected but I am glad I did, because it looks great now. I was hesitant to go there, but I will go back again and again. I can't wait to see Oleg Kaz for my highlights again. Pros: very clean salon, flat screens is a great idea more

I found OLEG KAZ SALON on CitySearch and I don't regret it. As a first time client the man at the front desk welcomed me to have a consultation with Agata. When she looked at my hair she told me what needs to be done in order to make it healthy and tones of colors would be good for my complexion. I had asked Agata for caramel highlights, but she advised to have them more blonde for the summer and towards fall and winter time we would go back to caramel. My hair was so damaged from the previous highlight job, but Agata took a GREAT care of my hair. I couldn't believe I had beautiful blonde hair with two tone highlights. After, Agata recommended me to have Glaze done to my hair, this was such a great thing to do!! It brought lots of shine to my hair and back to being healthy. No one ever gave me such an AMAIZING color and highlights Agata is FANASTIC at what she does. I was standing next to the mirror for half an hour and couldn't stop looking and touching my hair. The price is right for my highlights and healthy hair!! Pros: Incredible highlights and color. Clean salon. Great customer service!!!!!!!!!!!! more

As a theater producer I'm used to having a vision and then picking talented people to explore it and\r bring it back, usually better than I first ocnceived it. So it was when I went to Oleg Kaz Salon\r and worked with Marya Bocanegra, who is a sophisticated colorist and understands the word\r ""subtle"". Tito did updo and I have very little hair. He made me look like I had lots of hair.\r I had found Oleg Kaz on the internet and from the reviews I read I could tell that real, different\r people had written them so I took a chance. Welcoming, skilled and attuned to listen to\r what this customer wanted. I was thrilled to show up for my son's wedding. I would certainly\r go back. i highly reccomend these two artists at Oleg Kaz Salon. It's pricey but I felt\r I was paying not just for labor but for two designers.. more

I?ve been going to the same hair colorist for 12 years, but in the last year or so, I felt like he wasn?t paying as much attention to me when I came in for color and highlights. I felt like he was spending more time talking to me about his problems than focusing on my hair. Long story short: last week I had him color my hair before a public appearance, and I was horrified with the results. I had skunk stripes that looked brassy, the color was more red than blonde, and there were yellow spots.\r \r I needed corrective color immediately and I knew I needed an expert to take care of it. One of my friends recommended Mayra at the Oleg Kaz Salon. Mayra is a corrective color specialist. That same day, I stopped by the Oleg Kaz Salon for a consultation with Mayra, explaining that this was a 911 situation for me. \r \r Mayra reassured me that she could correct the mistakes of my previous colorist.\r She explained the process very clearly to me and I said let?s go. First and foremost she repaired the hair itself, then she re-worked the color. \r \r When she was finished, my hair looked the way I expected it to the in the first place. Shiny, highlighted and healthy. I?m hooked on Mayra now. I won?t go anywhere else. The bottom line? My hair was badly abused, and Mayra had the formulas and expertise to make it beautiful.\r more

A GOOD EYE FOR COLOR\r \r I MUST STOP BY and put a good word in for Mayra Bocanegra.\r In my opinion, Mayra is one of the top colorists in New York City. \r She?s been doing highlights for me since she moved here from La Jolla 3 years ago.\r Her training is most impressive. Vidal Sassoon, Louis Licardi, L?oreal. \r She learned from the best, and it shows in her work. \r Her highlights are impeccable. Mayra seems to weave the hair into the foils,\r which creates a healthy sun-kissed look. I have her finish it with a glaze. \r Her work is so finely crafted, a lot of my colleagues have no idea I have highlights. \r Mayra makes me look like a million bucks. She has a great eye for color.\r Pop your head into Oleg Kaz Salon and ask Mayra for an initial consultation.\r Pros: Mayra is truly a healer she makes me feel beautifull more

The other day, I was standing behind my boss while she was showing me an image on her computer monitor. When I looked down at her head, I noticed she had a lot of grey hair. I diplomatically mentioned that she should have Mayra put a glaze in her hair.\r \r She turned to look at me and said ?If I color my hair, I?m buying into the tyranny of the beauty industry.? I told her with all due respect that survival in the business world demands an attractive, healthy vital image. I also reminded her that she?s competing in the job market with women in their 20?s. I think survival in the employment marketplace depends on looking great as well as being good at what you do.\r \r Mayra has been glazing my hair for about 3 years now. I have a barber cut my hair weekly in a military fade cut and every two or three weeks Mayra applies a glaze to my hair. Mayra says I?m 60% gray (or silver, as she says). \r \r The thing I like about the glaze that Mayra puts in my hair is that it is not a permanent color. A glaze is a semi-permanent color that washes out after a few weeks. With a glaze, my hair always looks natural, I never have the look of roots. My colleagues have no idea that I have my hair darkened. (Full disclosure?Mayra also darkens my eyebrows with the glaze.)\r \r In my opinion, it is essential to my success to maintain a meticulous appearance. Especially in New York.\r more

Agata did a great job of coloring my hair. Tito did the cut and did a good job. Prices were reasonable. Pros: Skilled staff; Good communication; No pressure; Comfortable atmosphere Cons: None that I can mention more
