Suzy's beautiful hair colorings & cuts were so great I wrote a poem about her! 12/11/2008

ODE TO SUZY OF ASTOR PLACE or Suzy Haircutter No. 1, by Yucca P (copyrighted): Suzy, Suzy beautiful one. Suzy, Suzy lots of fun, Color hair with Quicksilver flair, Cut those ends with a magic air. Fingers move like nimble darts, Fates weave fast eternal arts, Over drab hair fingers toil, Soon to pluck some Aluminum foil. Prayer to Suzy Magic One, Help dull locks become undone, Change to shiny rich and fair, Glorious sheen with radiant cheer. Who cares if hair falls to floor, A sacrifice so lovers score, From this spell comes ecstatic moans, As Venuses emerge from sea foam. Purring to admiring stares, Lapping up delighted cheers, The blessed wander exotic lands, Dancing souls with lustrous bands. But beware Gods may start and stare, Envying the radiance you bare, Studying your charms and heart, Want for themselves dear Suzy?s art. Suzy Haircutter No. 1,. Suzy, Suzy lots of fun, Raise slender arms to liberty high, Salute the world with scissors spry. Give to all good colors fair, Show the world your crafty flair, Wave cutting wands in dazzling light, Small blazing fingers full of might. Two mirrors dance to end this story, Shining beams on your glistening glory, From this spell comes ecstatic moans, As Venuses emerge from sea foams. Suzy, Suzy beautiful one, Suzy, Suzy lots of fun, Color hair with Quicksilver flair, Better than the Gods would dare. Pros: Suzy does fabulous and flattering hair cuts & colorings. Cons: None more

Best hair color, highlights & style with Rita, who ia a real Celebrity Make Up Artist & Hair Stylist!!!! 12/11/2008

I can not believe how fortunate I was to find Rita. I have never been happier with my hair color, highlights and style; it is the best ever!!!! I went to my salon on the upper eastside and had my hair dyed the wrong color and the highlights only made things worse and the style made me look old. Rita color corrected my hair then gave me sunshine highlights and the very best style ever which makes me look young again!!!! No wonder she is a true professional and her work is perfection every time!!!! I feel embarrassed that she charges less than half the amount I paid for half a head of highlights at my old salon. I would pay anything for the incredible results Rita gave me!!!! Also, I had my make up done by Rita and I only wish I had her for my wedding a few years ago; my husband, friends and family loved my make over (my hubbie is still complimenting me and chasing me around). Astor Place is the only place with a true professional and celebrity hair and make up artist like Rita and to be honest I would not be caught dead in that place if not for the fact that they have Rita. I will be back to Rita every time; as a matter of fact I booked my monthly appointments in advance and I will follow Rita to ends of the earth if need be. The only thing I can say is that RITA is THE BEST!!!!!! Pros: RITA IS THE BEST!!!!!! Cons: The staff need to go to school to learn manners and the place is a dive!! more

I tust Rita with my hair! 12/11/2008

She is wonderfully talented and she cuts and styles with her heart and soul!!! Look at the great reviews, they don't lie! In Rita we trust! Pros: Rita!!! more

Alan gave my hair the treatment I wanted. I saw Alan last time, ( I was supose to see someone else, , but as I was waiting, I saw how he was cutting someone else hair. I like so much that I ask him if he could cut my hair. and he did it.and I loved. I liked so much, that I am sending my friends, and writting about him. He is a great hair dresser, ( and a week before I gonna see my folks in Chicago, I am getting the Keratin treatment, that he is offering. and is so proud about, ( The beauty and the Brazilians !! ) I heard it's very good to take frizz out. Go on Girls call Astor and say you want ALAN ... Pros: affordable Cons: none more

Amazing hi lights , and I am so glad I got the keratin treatment. 12/10/2008

I was told about this Keratin treatment, But they are very expensive. Then Alan, the hairdresser that gave this amazing hi lights, gave me the Keratin for only 220 dollars!!! I am walking on the clouds, my hair is soft easy to style, shine. It's "" The best thing I ever did to my hair" No frizz, and take me 10 minutes to fix my hair ,( I used to take 30 minutes) .. Cool! I am glad Alan offer me this service, I am forever grateful to Alan. He understand my situation and gave me a HUGE Break. I will be back in two to three months for my color and treatment. Thank you Alan. Pros: very affordable 200 cut hi lights / keratin condition treament. Cons: cash ONLY ( DEBT CARD MACHINE ON SITE) more

Thank you Rita! 12/10/2008

I have to say, my first Astor Place experience was a really good one thanks to Rita, who is a really great stylist and a cool and sweet person as well. I was very apprehensive at first about trying a new salon and stylist, but Rita was highly recommended to me by my friend who has gone to her 3 or 4 times before and has very nice things to say about her. I must say her hair has never looked better. I first spoke to Rita on the phone before I even met her so I could let her know what hairstyle I was looking for and if she could help me. She was very polite and courteous on the phone answering all of my questions, no problem. I felt really good about setting an appoinment with her and getting a great new cut like my friend. Rita is very popular there and very busy, but she is patient has a really great rapport with her clients which I feel is very important. Well, I must say she turned out to better than I could have ever hoped for! She is extremely talented, articulate and funny too! I had a fun time and my hair came out so cool! She knew exactly what I wanted and I left there feeling that I finally found someone I could go to again and again! I am definitely going back for a color change, maybe highlights and one of her specialty facials in her private room. I would feel comfortable sending anyone I know to Rita. Astor Place and Rita are defintely worth the trip! Five Stars for sure... Pros: Easy to get to, affordable. Rita is a great stylist! more

Go to Rita for a great hair experience! 12/10/2008

OMG, I Love my hair! I am so grateful to have found Rita and Astor Place in the biggest city in the world! She is completely awesome! Looks like a few people are a bit jealous of her, but no matter, she is a main reason why people are still flocking to Astor Place in these tough economic times. She can cut, color and highlight like nobody's business and her friendly personality is like a breath of fresh air. Her clients are come from everywhere to see her because they know she is the best out there and there is no one else they would trust. I am ecstatic with what she?s done for me. I have been getting compliments left and right! Rita has a confidence about her that is very rare among stylists who all seem give the same cookie cutter haircuts. You can get a quickie buzzcut anywhere, but If you want a ?look? that gets you noticed, you go see someone like Rita! I give her my highest marks and you will too! She is wonderful and very affordable considering you are getting a top notch stylist. Go Rita! ... Happy Holidays to all! Life is so short, so be happy and do something nice to someone today! Pros: Rita! Convenient location, easy to get to. more

Rita- Dont believe the hype... 12/10/2008

So i went to this Rita- Unhappy is an understatement! I had a 6:30 apt only to be seen at 7:40 but i get it, she is a busy gal- But my issue is WHY r u rushing me? You were the one that was late- NOT ME.. So no wash, no dry- just a half a$$ job of a haircut and a $30.00 bill to pay!! I am not a happy camper so needless to say i will not be going back to Rita! But i will try my hand at this "grama" Suzy- the older the wiser- Seems to me-Rita has her head gassed up and feels she can treat her new clients like garbage... I'll let you know how Suzy turns out... more

ALAN ASK ME TO WRITE A REVIEW. now I understand why.... 12/9/2008

Hi Boys and Girls. My name is Max, and I was asked to post a review , only if I like my hair. I had few hi lights and a single process . I was very happy the way he uses the Hi lighting board to get to my roots. No one ever used this tool on me before, , and I am telling you, "" IT MAKES A HUGE DIFFERENCE!" It gentle get the hair closest to the scalp , so the color is , in the roots and ... If you know about color , millimeters, determined , the re-growth , and you will keep your hi lights for longer time. I know about hi lights, and know that, I am going to see Alan! Seriously. I just need my hair done right. I am confident, and I am sure there is people that needs psychological help, but if you need a Great, professional. Please , do like I did. sit on Alan's chair. He gave me huge discounts, and brilliant color . 100 bucks/ trim and hi lights !! Pros: ALAN RULES . Cons: too many stars! more

WANT A GREAT STYLIST? SIMPLY """ ASK FOR IT !!! "" too many bad professionals making money. 12/9/2008

When I want something , I just ask for it! Simply call the place, and ask , what they recomended, for the task at hand. I came to Astor Barber, and I was scared I heard people talking about how affordable they were. But , in America people say, you get what you pay for!!! I just think this is not true at all , and we end up paying lot's for bad professionals with lot's of talking , and no good service. So next time you want something specific, a great hair cut , a very nice professional, hi lights, , or a color job, at Astor Barber, "ASK \ PAUL /JOHN / MIKE / DON FIFI , ( THEY ARE THE MANAGERS , They will send you to the person for the job.) Before you believe in fake reviews Call then and ask!! Pros: ASK / ASK / ASK . IN THE FRONT DESK , BEFORE YOU SIT IN THE CHAIR !!!! Cons: YOU CAN GET A NICE WORKER THERE more

Rita really stands out! 12/9/2008

Sometimes a great stylist can not only give you a great cut and style, but they can help to change your life in a positive way. Rita at Astor Place is a great stylist - quite possibly the best in New York City or anywhere else and she has helped completely change my look - and all for the better! In the 6 months I have been going to Rita, I have gotten more compliments than I can remember. I have people all the time asking me where I get my hair done. A few of my co-workers recently said "you look amazing!". Rita is not only extremely talented, but she sweet and knowledgeable as well. Rita has a way about her that is pure class and her beauty advice is much needed between appointments. I have always had nice hair but really no style to it at all. I needed a change badly and Rita helped guide me through the process and made feel totally comfortable in her chair. There was no pressure at all, just a kind of "go with the flow". A cute new cut, some updated base color and some of Rita's killer highlights and it was a whole new me! I totally trust her instincts and sense of style. I have been to many before but no one has done for me what Rita has! Rita get so much great feedback here and on all the review websites and it is all well deserved! If you are looking for the best stylist with the best attitude and biggest heart, go see Rita at Astor Place. All of her clients really love her! You'll see why in no time at all. Thank you Rita! Pros: Rita and Astor!!! more

I am ITALIAN and I work at ASTOR . PLEASE LISTEM , I GIVE CREDIT WHERE IS DESERVE 12/9/2008

I am a Italian Barber, (( a dying breed )) . Because now, Italians, don't get into hair cuts , and barbering any longer. I see that the new generation of haircutters are very communicative , but has no skills. Some of this haircutters are in "only for the money/or fame" NOT FOR THE BEAUTY OF MAKING A GREAT CUT AND COLOR" I SEE THIS PEOPLE GETTING REVIEWS, AND I KNOW THEN; RITA . - I HAVE NO COMMENT JUST - A NICE GIRL, BUT NO REAL SKILLS. ALAN . - , GREAT IF NOT THE GREATEST . JOSE- QUIET, PROFESSIONAL, VERY GOOD SKILLS. SUZI- A GRAMA , WITH NO CUT SKILLS, SOME COLOR SKILLS . , LIKE I SAY, THIS ARE THE PEOPLE BEEN REVIEWED , AND I THINK SOME ROCK STAR, MAKE HER OWN REVIEWS. THAT'S VERY VERY SAD! I WE GONNA WACTH FOR THIS REVIEWS, AND COME BACK EVERY DAY NOW. Pros: WE . ARE HERE TO GIVE CREDIT WHERE IS DESERVED, more

I was recommended to have my hi lights with Alan, by this student that sat in front of me in history . 12/9/2008

I came and ask for Alan, ( That's it was my second time in Astor Hair ) The first time I got my hair cut, it was a OK, I just wanted a trim, any way. This time I want my hair color to be much lighter . I have medium blond hair, and as I sat there I asked Alan what he could do for me . Alan , explain me that ; to achieve a ""Marvelous Color " I would have to mix different shades of blond, the more mixing of colors and shads, would elevated my hair to a marvelous color! I was feeling good, and , what he told me made complete sense. I remember I heard about mixing shades in Art class. I want to tellnyone , Girls give your self a Marvelous hair color color. Go ALAN Pros: CASH ONLY, Cons: Too many Boys ! ( just kidding more

Rita IS THE ONLY REAL ROCKSTAR AT ASTOR!!! 12/8/2008

I felt the need to write a review about Rita at Astor Place because she made me feel so wonderful, so beautiful, like I have never felt before in my life. I can't believe someone like her exists in the beauty field. She was honest with me about my color, how it should be cut and styled before she did it; and what would work with my hair type (fine and straight). I have volume, thickness, and genuinely love my hair! Rita took the time to talk to me, to make me feel like an important human being, not rushed and like I was a nuisance. I look forward to seeing her again, when we will add a some delicate highlights. Her philosophy is "less is more" and it is real and it works! She won't shock you into a new cut or make you feel badly about yourself. She always finds something positive to work with. I am one of the many that not only hugged her afterward, but feel like i have made a trusted friend in my new beauty advisor. I HIGHLY RECCOMMEND RITA , she is a LOVE ! Pros: Rita's kindness Cons: mean hairdresers around her more

Sweden loves Rita! 12/8/2008

We are 4 sisters that travel from Sweden to see Rita three times a year for highlights, facials and cuts. WE just love her! It has to mean something when people travel that far to see the creative person of their dreams! We felt the need to write to tell everyone about the love she has of her art and creating beauty in all of her clients. She is humble and beautiful. So kind and wonderful. In a chaotic place like Astor, she creates a zen-like atmosphere and has such a gentle way about her. We could never live without her, and once you experience her serene ways, you will understand. The others there are good enough, but Rita's work is exemplary. She creates a look just for you, your face shape and lifestyle. All others just "cut and color". Rita brings out your beauty and helps you to embrace it. She is a genuine artist, and we are lucky to have her available to us! Pros: Rita's artistry more

Rita is THE BEST AT ASTOR!!! 12/8/2008

Ok, so I am jaded- I have been to others at Astor including the others that have been written about, and haven't been satisfied. I finally got an appointment with Rita for cut and color. I am THRILLED with the results! She has class and style and I am recommending her to all of you that read this. She will give you a real look that no one else will. I went to someone else there that was "highly recommended" and he gave me grey highlights. She corrected them to a sunny blonde that I love! I don't know how she does it, but my hair was healthier and more alive when I left than when I arrived. Rita rocks! I highly suggest you go directly to her- you won't be dissappointed. Pros: Rita and the price more

Astor Place Hair Rocks, Jose is the best!! 12/8/2008

I went to Astor Place Hair on a recommendation from a friend more than a year ago and haven't been to another barber since. I get a great haircut for a very reasonable price, and I'm always amazed at the diversity of the clientele, men and women from all age groups have gone there for years to get a great cut or style and share in the community. And Jose is the best...along with a great cut, he is always quick with a bit of advice about relationships or a story from the several decades he has been cutting hair in NYC. He is a barber/therapist to men and women of all ages, from CEO's to deliverymen, and he treats us all with the same attention and respect. You can't go wrong, so look him up for your next cut! more

Great service! 12/8/2008

If you are looking for a quick, cheap place to get your haircut look no further. Excellent for people who don't have a good amount fo time to waste or money. I have been going to this place for years and I would tell anyone I know to visit often. Great service. Pros: quick service, cheap more

Editorial
  • A village legend, this no-frills, family-owned hair salon hasn't spent a penny on advertising--or, apparently, on interior design upgrades--since opening its doors. What Astor does have is a massive reputation for inexpensive, quality service on a walk-in basis. It's also a gigantic melting pot, where teens, celebs, Wall Street execs and soon-to-be punk NYU freshman unite in the common goal of good hair. Eighty-eight stylists specialize in everything from fades, etchings, color (punk to traditional) and curly styles to hair extensions, weaves and braiding.
