Scott J is conveniently located on Broadway near Columbia University, right next to Starbucks (upstairs). It pretty much has the monopoly on Columbia students, as there aren't many similar salons nearby. As a matter of convenience, I started going to Scott J when we moved to the neighborhood. Convenience is probably the only thing that has caused me to go back. It's a so-so salon with average stylists. Every stylist has an assistant who washes the hair, etc. (read: more than one person to tip). I've never had a bad haircut / color there, but I've not had a fabulous one either. The atmosphere is not very spa-like. It's pretty run-of-the-mill in terms of design. The prices, however, are more in line with a spa. A women's haircut is no less than $50 (there is a 10% student discount), and highlights will run you somewhere in the neighborhood of $150 or more). They do fantastic blowdrys, and offer free makeup "touch-up" when you get a cut, color, etc. If you aren't looking for perfect hair, then this place is adequate. However, I'd expect a little bit more out of a NYC salon.
