This salon bills itself as upscale but it's really not. I've been there a few times and each time I've been disappointed with the results.
Located in the Flatiron district, this below street level salon does not deliver.
The prices are high and the service isn't. You don't get what you pay for. Once, I asked to have my highlights done - my roots to be touched up. All they had to was match the blonde which I didn't think was that hard to do. Instead, I got orange hair on top and blonde on the bottom. I looked like a clown. I had to complain to have it redone (at no charge) but by then, my hair was already damaged.
I would give this salon a more negative rating but I'm hoping that my color experience doesn't reflect the potential talent at the salon.
Go if you must but be forewarned; you may be disappointed.

Not just infusions! The absolute guru of color!: After having my hair bleached, butchered and destroyed by several "top" hair salons I searched and searched for a beacon of hope - a hairdresser who would not only fix my horrible tri-tone color (a combo of over bleached white, under bleached orange, and 6 inches of dark brown root) but help me salvage the terrible razor cut which made me look like I stuck my head in the office shredding machine. Through Citysearch, I discovered Rodolfo and he is my hair guru for now and ever. He not only made me the most gorgeous multi-dimensional redhead (a color I always dreamed of but never achieved!) but he blunted the edges with the SLIGHTEST trim. My hair looked no shorter, but was suddenly cascading and sexy, not frizzy and shorn. Every staff member is an expert and I have never received the attention and dedication to my hair as I have in this salon. The atmosphere is warm and friendly, and other clients shared nothing but commendation and adulation for Rodolfo's genius. Rodolfo himself is charming, charismatic and unpretentious, and will make you feel right at home. This is truly the ultimate salon.

Everything about this place is amazing! Dustin gave me a great haircut and gave some killer highlights that I have been getting compliments on ever since I got it done. Everyone is so friendly and you can't beat the price. I guarentee you go in there you won't go anywhere else!
Pros: Everything
Cons: Absolutely none

I moved to NY five years ago and literally stumbled into Salon Seven by chance. I had previously had a really fantastic hairdresser in London (Stefano at Ze Hair and Beauty on Fulham Road, in case anybody needs a great haircut in London). So I was used to a high standard of cut. Needless to say, Mark and Lori more than met that standard: with flair, creativity and a sixth sense for figuring out what their customers need.
That said, what I really like about the place is how laid back it is. It's essentially a neighborhood place, with just four chairs and a few neighborhood cats or dogs who come to visit from time to time. The more pretentious NY salons are all hype: you end up overpaying for mediocre cuts. This place is the opposite: a hidden gym on a quiet street in the East Village.
Mark and Lori are one of my NY rituals now!
Pros: Attention to detail
Cons: Lori only works a few days a week... get her when you can!

My stylist was Celia. She was amazing. She let me know what was going wrong with my hair and she added the right color and gave me the right cut so that, when it was finally revealed to me, I teared up. I haven't felt this alive in a long time and I left the salon feeling happier than I've been in months.
Pros: My stylist knew what I wanted when I didn't
Cons: The decor is a little odd.

I can't say enough good words about body beautiful I go there primarily for laser treatments which ROCK!! I do laser hair removal and have my veins on my legs done. I'm a dancer and I very self concious about the veins all over my legs. I have done 3 sessions with Richard the owner and he is AMAZING! I won't say it doesn't hurt or that you look bruised for a week or two but it is so worth it I don't need leg cover up make up like I used to. I'm not totally vein free I probably need one or two more sessions but my bikini is so smooth after all this time it's amazing. Thank you Richard for putting a smile back on my face I almost want to cry.

I had an up-do done this past Saturday by Stacia at Salon Mingle. First of all, the salon s so professional and welcoming and the lovely lady who shampooed my hair also gave me an impromptu massage which was uber relaxing! And on top of that, I LOVED my hair! I gave Stacia a description of what I wanted and she ran with it and gave me a creative, cool style that was elegant and went perfect with a halter dress I wore to a wedding at the Boathouse. Stacia has also cut my hair and styled it and I was very pleased with the outcome. In fact, I booked another appt in early January with her. I would absolutely recommend this talented stylist as she is young, hip and pays attention to what you want. You will not be disappointed!
Pros: Great service, attention to detail and superb styling

I found this place while I was training for the marathon. I had been going to another spa but heard about Ohm so decided to give them a try. The massages at Ohm are head and shoulders above the other place. My therapist was very well trained and I could tell within the first 2 minutes that she was an expert. Went back a couple of times leading up to the race. Each time, it was fantastic. Make sure you book in advance. I haven't been able to get a same-day appointment but your luck my be different.
Pros: thorough massage, clean, unpretentious
Cons: need to book in advance

My gf absolutely loves this place, I just sit there and watch all the time. You are recognized the second you walk into the salon and they get on a first name basis. The cuts and styles are consistent and they pamper you with everything you ask for once you're in that chair. The service is very friendly and they definately treat their customers well.
