I have been going to Antonio Prieto Salon for over a year, having my hair cut by Brian, and color done by Kristin. Never before have I experienced such talented work and professionalism, and I am sure that no other salon in New York can hold a candle to AP. Before I came here, if I let my hair grow longer than an inch I would be left with a thick, poofy mess. From my first cut, my hair has been skillfully and precisely cut so I am able to grow it long or short and maintain the look. When I ask for product recommendations, no one tries to sell me products I do not need, but rather gives me just what I need to maintain my cut perfectly. Brian has my complete trust and knows exactly how to incorporate my personal style into my cut, and I strongly recommend him to anyone looking for the best haircut they can get.
Kristin is the most incredible colorist out there. Her work is fit to be shown on the head of any celebrity. She has taken me from dark brown (my natural color), to gorgeous buttery blonde, and back to a perfectly highlighted brown- all with minimal damage done to my hair and each time looking better than the last. I have had horrible coloring experiences in the past and was hesitant to get back in the saddle, and now I cannot get enough of Kristin's artistic coloring jobs.
Like I said, I am perfectly comfortable walking into the salon now and leaving my hair completely in the hands of these experts, and I trust that each time I will leave delighted with the outcome. The staff goes out of their way to be as friendly as possible and they are fun and great to be around. ** If you are trying to choose a salon this is the best choice you could make, and Brian and Kristin are a great choice for cutting and coloring. **
Pros: great products, friendly staff, fun atmosphere, most talented people
Cons: my hair doesn't grow fast enough so I can go there more often
