I've been going to a colorist since I was 17 years old and have been to my share of New York salons. I am happy to report that Angela Taormino, the color director at Antonio Prieto, is responsible for the most amazing hair color and cut I've ever had.
Women know that working with a stylist is a tricky thing: you want someone who sees your vision and creates something you can execute at home and you want someone who has the vision to see your hair's potential. Angela is that person. Equally adept at amazing color and uber-flattering cuts, she has actually instructed me in how to work with my hair so I can recreate (to a point because I am no hair stylist) the look and feel of gorgeous hair.
I have never received as many compliments on my hair as I have since going to Angela. As long as I live in New York, I will go to her.
The salon itself is lovely - elegant without being stuffy, warm without being too casual.
Pros: Elegant atmosphere with down-to-earth staff, exceptionally talented stylists
