I went to Mark Garrison Salon - and had the misfortune of having Maria Palazzo cut my hair - well, the first time more time was spent on my hair and I was satisfied. The second time, she barely took her time, went scissor happy--and over layered my hair...clearly, she didn't care about the finished look nor took pride in her work. With what they charge, a client should not be rushed. I had to go somewhere else to fix what Maria had done--and she is supposedly a senior stylist?! Based on what standard?! One star is too much if you want my honest opinion. Anyone knows that if you have fine hair - you DO NOT over texturize or creat too many layers - it thins it out!! What a rip off and waste of time. I went elsewhere and they cleaned it up nicely. Save your money. Pros: None Cons: Everything

I visited Mark Garrison Salon for a haircut with Mark a few months ago and was completely blown away. (no pun intended!) Mark is what they call a real master stylist. He cuts with intense precision and enormous detail and truly gave me the BEST haircut of my life! I have long curly hair and Mark added long layers in just the right places which gave an actual shape to my mane of curls for the first time. And even though it was pricey for me, he gave me such a fabulous cut that after 3 months, I still don?t even need a trim. But I did just go back to the salon for a color appointment with Sam. After studying my features and coloring, he took my over processed, brassy August hair to the most amazing shade of copper. It?s so beautiful and so natural that it really looks like I was born with this color. I feel so fortunate to have found this dream team. In addition to loving everything about Mark and Sam, the salon itself is so lovely. Everything from booking my appointment to the greeting at the door to the great people who assist, was handled with true professionalism and a smile. The salon has absolutely none of the pretentiousness that most Upper East Salons have. Pros: Amazing experts in lovely setting Cons: Can't think of any!

My friend reccommeded I go to Mark Garrison for my next haircut. Mark cut my long, straight boring hair into a hip and easy to manage style. Everytime I pass a mirror I do a double take and have received so many compliments over the last few days I will never get my haircut anywhere else! Mark took into consideration my low maintenance lifestyle but was still able to give me a fashionable cut that literally just falls into place when I wake up in the morning. Ive never had bangs before but Mark knew that they would flatter my face shape and bring out my eyes. And he was more than right! You can trust you are in good hands when you are in Mark?s chair, he will give you the best cut and style that works for you. The haircut is worth every penny and then some. Not to mention he is a sweet guy and is easy on the eyes!! Pros: amazing haircut! Cons: none that I noticed

NOTE-It looks to me as if some of the "Excellent" reviews of the salon are more like ads rather than reviews. I would guess that they were written by someone who works for the salon Read them carefully and see if you do not agree. I had my hair cut by Mark Garrison 3 weeks ago -I was hoping that a bad cut would start to improve after a few weeks- unfortunately it hasn't. My right ear sticks out through my hair - a problem I never had before this cut. I also have a short chin which Mark emphasized by sloping my hair away from my chin. When I told Mark I was not pleased with the cut he actually yelled at me and told me I had personal issues. Huh?? I would have thought a professional stylist might actually attempt to fix the cut . Finally, Mark multitasks when cutting hair- he was cutting other people's hair as he was doing mine. For $350 I would hope to get individual attention. On the other hand, Patricia, the colorist ,does an excellent job Note- I have a sneaking suspicion that some of the "glowing" reviews of the salon on this site were probably written by Mark himself or someone on his staff. They almost seem like advertisements for the salon. Pros: Pleasant salon environment;Very good colorist Cons: Horrible Cut for $350 by Mark himself

I've been writing about hair and beauty for many years and have been to some of the best salons/stylists in the city. I have very thick, wavy hair and no one could ever make it look right--it was always bulky, frizzy and unflattering. Mark was recommended to me by a friend and after a short consultation, he put me completely at ease so I gave him carte blanche to do whatever he wanted, the only stipulation being that I didn't want it too short. The result was amazing--my jaw-length cut had lift, fullness and beautiful, frizz-free curl. I have never received so many compliments and I'm in the hair biz! I also call it the cut that keeps on giving because it lasts a full six weeks without losing its shape. Mark is truly a genius & I can't imagine ever going to anyone else. Pros: Mark's the Wizard of Hair Cons: You may be kept waiting awhile

i was recommended by a friend to see Gianni a jr colorist at Mark Garison Salon, i was hesitant at first because of the "jr" in his title, but he is amazing, i thought my color was nice before i went to see Gianni, but after a few hours of highlights and color my hair looks amazing, i never thought my hair could look so good and natural! If you are looking for great color with someone who takes his time and listens to what you want...see Gianni! Pros: affordable color from a profectionist!!! Cons: hard to get an appointment
