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

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

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

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 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

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

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

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

This new space has been designed with clean minimal but warm style and the highest quality.

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.

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 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.
