Best

To say that I am extremely particular about my color is the understatement of the century. Loren blessed my color about 5 years ago and I've never looked back. Passing strangers...

Worst

I made an appointment for this past MONDAY 6/6/11 when I couldn't originally get a desired one for any of summer hair months I desired I went to the next year. I saw an attempt ...

Excellent 7/24/2009

Stacey the owner is who I use for cuts and if you're looking for the perfect look she's your gal! I been through many stylist in the past and when I found her she's well worth the money, and been going to her since 1999! I am sure her staff is just as good since standards are extremely high at Loft 26. Visit Loft 26 I am certain you will not be disappointed! Pros: excellent service more

Great hair cut 7/21/2009

The salon has a nice relaxing feeling, with plenty of space. The staff was upbeat and friendly. Best of all I felt like I got a very current hair style and was also along the lines of what I was looking for. This new place was a good find for me. Pros: Great current hair style more

Shane Thomas at Loft 26! 7/20/2009

If you're looking for amazing, modern and simply gorgeous color, Shane Thomas is your colorist at Loft 26! I recently had an appointment with him and he recommended Balayage highlights for me. He painted on the highlights, no foils, this method gave me a more natural sun kissed look. I absolutely love it! And Stacey Lyn, my stylist is the must have hair stylist in NYC! She gives amazing haircuts and makes the best recommendations that work for you! I can't wait for my next appt. with them both! Pros: best salon in nyc! more

Mommy Beauty Upkeep 7/20/2009

I am a busy mom with 2 active boys and the time I have to spend on my own beauty is well spent with Loren using her magic wand to make my hair the perfect color or with John giving me the perfect, low maintenance cut! They are a terrific group! Pros: Excellent! more

Run, don't walk, to Loren at Loft 26! 7/17/2009

I am a man who started to gray in his 20's. As my hair was naturally black, I was really worried about that ""shoe polish"" black look that I see many men have. Luckily, my friend introduced me to Loren. I don't know what the mixture is that she uses, but it looks so natural that nobody ever questioned me if I colored my hair. She is also so funny and personable. I promise u will definitely be in good hands when you sit in her chair! Pros: Most Natural Hair Coloring more

Dana Chasen is Fantastic with ""Mature"" Skin 7/17/2009

I am 51 years old and no one can believe it (neither can I!), and my skin looks great thanks to Dana's facial and massage treatments. I love to try different products and she can reign me in with excellent choices that are in the same family. I have been with her for years and continue to follow her skin routines. Pros: great suggestions for skin routine Cons: sometime so busy can't go overtime! more

What would I do without Loren?! 7/17/2009

Loren Basis is a master colorist. I always felt like I had boring brown hair, but Loren has turned boring brown into beautiful brunette! It amazes me what a difference a really good colorist can make. I have tried others but never felt the need to return. Sometimes it seemed like I was wasting my money. But now, I really don't know what I would do without Loren. I live in CT, and will travel the 2 hours gladly to have Loren work her magic on my hair. If you are feeling down with your brown, see Loren at Loft 26. more

Dana Chasen - skin care and make up genius! 7/16/2009

Dana Chasen is a skin care genius. She has been in charge of my skin and makeup for years. I trust her implicitly as she is so incredibly knowledgeable. As I am well over 50, I deal with a multitude of skin issues \r and I am no longer anxious about it. Dana uses only the highest quality skin care products and makeup. I always feel better after a visit with Dana.\r I do not photograph well so I made sure that she reserved the date of my daughter's wedding so that I would feel totally comfortable. and I did! I am not sure that I have ever felt as beautiful as I did that evening. Dana kept me relaxed and cool while she did my makeup and the finished product was great. My face never had that heavy 'makeup' feel or look and the \r makeup did not fade - it stayed on until I removed it at the end of the night. Everyone commented on how good I looked not on how my makeup looked. more

Wonderful overall experience!! 7/15/2009

If you're looking for a top-notch colorist with with over 10 years experience, you can do no better than Loren Basis, from Loft 26. And if you’re not sure what's the right hair color for you? Not to worry, whether you're just trying to cover up a few greys, or going with something new and exciting, Loren will have some great hair color ideas. Loren suggested that we go with some buttery hightlights for me, and im glad that she did. I’ve recently lost my job, and I now feel that I have the confidence in myself to be the best that I can be. Thank you Loren, and the staff at Loft 26!! Pros: Great Atmosphere. more

The Best Relaxer 7/14/2009

I was blown away by the results, this is my story. I am multi ethnic so my hair textures is on the curly frizzy side,I usually relax my hair with the regular pharmacy brand relaxers but a friend told me about John who works with Phyto Specific relaxer.I called the salon and made an appointment for a consultation with John, on the day of I was welcomed by the friendly and warm staff members of loft 26,it's amazing in there beautifull windows and omg the wood work is just fabu!!!! \r John told me all about the relaxer it's benefits and differences from the regular relaxers, I was sold...so I made my appointment for the following week. I have the relaxer in my hair now for the past month and I must say I LOVE IT...the process was very relaxing, John talks with you while he's doing the application and educates you about the product, the relaxer is made from eggs and soy and has no lye and I must say that it is odorless yes odorless ,no smells. Whatever your hair texture you can use this product to relax or texturize your hair and its perfect for individuals with sensitive scalps, I didn't feel a tingle the entire time. My hair is in the best shape ever.Overall I am very satisfied with my service at Loft26 next I will be having a facial done by Jaime and that will be another review. Pros: Educated Stylist, Friendly Staff more

Great attention 7/10/2009

John knows how to cut hair! He talks to you, asks you about your life and thankfully I have never walked out with a trendy ""out of the book"" haircut. He always knows whats best for me regarding the time of year, what best fits my face, and my personality. And to top it off I will get highlights or lowlights from Loren and John and Loren work so well as a team. I am never afraid of what the color will be, because Loren always gives me subtle and suitable color for me and her color always enhances the cut that John gives me. Together they make a great team. If you want a stylist who will listen and give you options John is the guy, and if you want color that suits you and Loren will deliver. Pros: personal service more

Le Mieux 7/10/2009

Hi !\r \r John has been cutting and styling my hair for 8 years thru many different cuts and styles (long to short). Without question no one touches my hair but John, and without a doubt I have never left the salon unhappy in 7+ years.\r \r Never.\r \r John has become a integral part of the way I live my life in NYC and I don't know what I would do without the consistency and professionalism both he and his co-workers have provided me in all sorts of economies.\r \r I mention this, because as we all begin to trim the personal luxuries and ""fat"" from our budgets that quite fairly may need that second look; their are important Personal Services that help add to the overall self-esteem I carry and undoubtedly many of John's other clients as well; that for me are off limits. A haircut can be how people perceive me. \r \r Right or Wrong; I want John's hand shaping that perception. Whatever the economy.\r \r He is simply the best.\r \r Jamie Kirby Pros: ALL PRO more

Beautiful new space, GREAT Staff! 7/9/2009

This new space has been designed with clean minimal but warm style and the highest quality. Floor to ceiling windows let in beautiful light, the staff is super friendly - including that cute little Italian Greyhound mascot. And John Gerard, my stylist, is THE BEST! If you want a relaxing experience and a great haircut and more, GO! Pros: Gorgeous new space, friendly service, super style Cons: none more

Treat yourself to the best. 7/8/2009

I am not one to write reviews. But there is a first time for everything.I read about John Gerard in a magazine article. I came in talked to John Gerard he listen to my concerns and knew just what I wanted. As we talk he knew I was not happy with my colour so he recommended Loren for colour. I tell you I thought she was reading my mind she knew exactly what I wanted. I walk out of the salon with the best haircut and highlights. I feel like a Million Dollars. A charming loft airy , warm and bright very chic. Stacey the owner was very friendly and helpful as was the receptionist Karl and Kay Leen the assistant . John Gerard is very knowledgeable about the Phyto product line and recommended a personalized hair care regime. Thank you John and Loren for a great job. Pros: Very chic upscale salon more

You all have to go!! 7/8/2009

My experience there was absolutely amazing! A salon in the Chelsea Loft Area! Who knew?\r We did not know what to expect as we were going up in the elevator to the 12th floor. When my friend and I got\r to the salon we saw this beautiful gold chandelier hanging in this loft space. When we entered we were so surprised, amazed and delighted! The salon has these windows that welcome the beautiful light and the space is just beautiful, comfortable and relaxing that we truly felt right at home!\r The staff was amazing. Friendly as can be and very accomadating. We met Stacey, the owner, and she is so charming and made us feel welcome. I saw her cut someone's hair and I was very impressed at her creativity and talent! \r My friend went to see Loren for hilights and the results were just perfect! I liked it so much that I made an appointment with Loren. Loren is the Color Director. No Wonder! I saw John and I had the most spectacular haircut that I made an appointment with him as well. My friend is going to see Stacey for her haircut next time!\r They have these Phyto Hair Treatments I am going to try next time...My hair needs it.\r And finally we ended up making facial appointments. I am looking forward to it!\r So all in all we are really happy and we can't wait for our next visit!! I would recommend this place to anybody!\r \r \r \r \r \r \r \r \r \r \r \r \r \r \r \r \r \r \r \r \r Pros: Very relaxing and great ambience! Friendly staff Cons: None whatsoever more
