I could not believe the personal attention at Arena. It was amazing. Unlike many other salons, Arena is small, quaint and the staff is very friendly. I felt like I belonged the minute I walked in. And, while I was having my hair done, I wasn't bothered by people constantly walking around distracting me. No one was pushing other services on me either. It was all about my hair. As a 55 year old woman, I had decided that the constant dying was unhealthy, and the vistits every 4 to 5 weeks to the salon was becoming too much a part of my life. I met someone who had been to Arena and she looked so great that I just called and made the appointment. Then I took the plunge and decided to ""embrace"" my grays. Rena talked to me about my decision, and she's fantastic, by the way. Arnulfo, my colorist and stylist was very sensitive and he did an absolutely great job with my color. When I got home, I called to tell him and thank him. Oh and by the way, my haircut was the best haircut I've had in years!! Actually, I can't remember a better haircut. I come from Long Island. I took the LIRR and the subway down to 2nd Avenue. It's was completely worth it!
Pros: Personal attention, professional staff
