i AM A RETIRED hAIRSTYLIST and worked at Bergdorf Goodman in the late 70's and I know my hair color!! I live on the UES and stumbled upon this AVEDA shop and its the BEST.......Gals forget about 57th Street. No one has been more of a hair snob than myself!!!!! I have gone to John Barrett, Tricomi, Licari, Cutler Salon, Pierre Michel for the past 25 years.... I HAD the BEST COLOR ever by a gal named ALYSSA. You can find her in the AVEDA SHOP on 114th Street and Broadway..... SHe had colored my hair now four times and its STUNNING. I am a natural blonde and went red two years ago at the Cutler Salon. Cutler told me it would be too hard to go back to Blonde... ALyssa got me back to blonde after the first time. ITS JUST an exquisite light light blonde like i wanted it...... She is warm, engaging and a great listener to what your needs are......SHe is dynamite at blowing your hair out too. My hair is way down my shoulders need my tush and she knows how to cut long hair too!!! I am forever sticking with ALYSSA!! I know it sounds like I have stock in AVEDA but guys believe me I stumbled upon a great shop and wanted all to know about it!!!!!!!!! Alyssa is a dynamite stylist and if you want great color she is the one. BTW.. she gave my Mom who is 86 the most stunning hilights over red hair and MOM feels and looks great!! What more can we ask for.. THe staff is warm, attentive and you get a nice hand massage while your waiting for your color to process. Nice products too to buy........It 99 percent natural and thats what we all need.....Do not listen to bad reviews they are the "bomb"... There is also a really great gal at 86th street who gives a great blowout and then uses the curing iron. Her name is Dawn... SOOOOOO GOOD WITH THE BLOWER.... SO if you want really great color and have been bounced around alot this is the place for you. I am soo tired of those 57th Street attitudes and walk out after spending hundreds of dollars and I am miserable... So ALyssa on 114th Street and Broadway is the one..... THen you can go to Ollies for a great Chinese meal across the street!! Hey its a NYU adventure.... ENjoy and I hope your hair looks great... Robin and MOM Helen from the UES
