Stoll Salon

Great salon tucked away in the heart of Union Square. I had passed by this salon a couple of times since I worked in the neighborhood and picked up one of their fliers. I called to make an appointment and that is when I first met Emily. I had a couple of bad run ins previously and needed an overhaul on my highlights. I told Emily what I was looking for and was delighted when she finished and my highlights looked fabulous. If you are looking for excellent service and wonderful color, Emily is your girl. I highly recommend Stoll salon to anyone looking for a great salon experience. Pros: 15% off all first time customers more

My search was over many years ago when I discovered Stoll Salon. What an excellent Salon, not because of the friendly, relaxed and professional atmosphere and superb artistry, but everyone there listen to what I want and add there expertise?s with honesty and knowledge. I?m very picky about my highlights and cut, I have felt like a million backs each time I have left Stoll Salon. Rosemarie and Shifa are both fantastic!! I will never go anywhere else, I highly recommend Stoll Salon. Pros: Excellent work all around more

Stoll Salone has been the only hair salon I have gone to for the past 9 years. I have never gotten a bad hair cut or color. Consistency is worth its weight in gold, particularly when it comes to your hair. Beyond a great cut and color, consider it an hour or two of therapy. Stephen Stoll, the owner, is one of the most upbeat, nicest, warmest, cuddliest people you will every meet. He makes you feel good about everything. And will listen to all the drama going on in your life without judgement but always with a smile. Su is my hair stylist and she is amazing. How many hair stylists have you been to that you can say they have never once given you a bad cut. And it grows out really really nicely. The entire team is amazing. The only sad part is when they're done washing your hair because the head massages feel so good! Stoll Salon is simply the best! Pros: Everyone is incredibly nice + they make your hair look great more

I've been getting my hair cut and styled by my stylist at Stoll for longer than I can remember. It's been at least 10 years. Although the salon has undergone a couple of ownership changes, the same outstanding, talented core group has remained. The stylists and colorists know their stuff. Not only that, but they get to know you so they can give you a hairstyle that fits your personality and how much effort you want to put into maintaining it. It's also a friendly place, always welcoming -- and very reasonably priced considering the quality and service that's provided. Pros: Skilled stylists and colorists, welcoming atmosphere more

I have very curly hair and Jamie gave me a beautiful cut. most people think it's easy but one bad cut sent me running to a new salon, now I'm so happy with my hair no one else will ever touch it again!!! Pros: convenient to get to /great value for the money Cons: new name made them hard to find (stoll salon) more

As a designer/painter I'm very critical of my own work, so when it comes to finding a stylist to cut my hair just right you can say i've run through my share of so called 'stylists' in NY. Thankfully, with the help of all the feedback on Citysearch I've found a home at Rumor Salon. Su Kim's artistry and her staffs' hospitality + level of professionalism are second to none. Thank You! Pros: Skilled Staff, Pleasant atmostphere, Clean, Attentive, Professional more

I have been getting hair cuts from Cristiano for 4 years, never been disappointed. Cristiano treated each hair cut as scapturing art. He took his time making sure the entire hair cut is perfect. His hair cuts always look stylish and nature. His hair cuts are also practical, very easy to maintain at home, I don't need to use any hair products to hold the shape. I always get great compliments for my hair cuts at work & sometimes on the streets. Cristiano's creativities seem unlimited, whenever I feel like to have a make over, I just need to tell him, he always came up with something amazing. Pros: great value on the hair cuts Cons: Ambience more

Steven is a great professional. Fast and quality work. Very nice guy. The salon has reasonable prices for Manhattan. I paid $125 plus tip for half head highlights and lowlights together. Blowdry is free with any service. I tried many colorists and he is one of the best. Very recommended. Pros: Haircut is expensive Cons: Great color service, reasonable prices more

rumor is by far one of the best salons in new york. you can have a very trendy white-blonde rocker cut or soft waves and long layers. shifa works with you peice by peice of hair, completely open to your thoughts. she cuts slowly and never too much. i have very thick hair, and ive never liked it down till she cut it. now, its light and flowing. Steven gave me the perfect hue of blonde and even suggested lightening my eyebrows(for free!). with there work i have never felt more beautiful. be warned: if you like you hair straight, brown, natural, or work-free, rumor is not your salon. these cuts and colors are for girls who want there hair to stand out and make a statement. its about experimentation and playfulness! yes, it is expensive, but everywhere in manhattan is! this is actually one of the better ones. but be prepared to drop $250-300 (tip included)for highlights and a cut. they do try and be nice to students. i was not given tip evelopes and i was given 20% off my color when i brought in a post card located outside the door on the street. so if your a first timer, you can save a bit if you bring one of those in! Pros: beautiful work all-around! Cons: price more

I've been going to Su for 3 years and she is the best stylist I've ever had. Upon moving to NYC I went through many cheap & expensive bad haircuts until I found her. Now I've moved to SF. After getting a really bad cut from a ""top"" SF salon, I've just decided that I'll fly back every 6 months to see her. more

Trusting Citisearch reviews I went for a hair cut which costed me $95 and all I got was one inch cut of the same exact style i had before. No suggestions were given nor comments whatsoever of doing something different. All I got was: "" how much would you like me to cut?"" ...weird. I am going back to my hairdresser. For $20 bucks I get the same cut. Pros: nice website Cons: expensive more

I'm always very very happy w/ Tanya's work on my highlights - she's friendly and chatty, but also utterly professional and highly skilled - I completely trust her w/ my hair. I've never had to wait - they are always on time, even when I make a last-minute appt. Pros: Consistent quality, Low key atmosphere, reasonable for NYC more

I have been going to Rumor for 2 years now and would never go anywhere else. Tanya always does a great job with my full head of highlights and Shifa is the best stylist I have ever had. Thanks Rumor! Pros: Talented Stylists, Service, Atmosphere more

Rosemarie's great w/ color. I had my hair color in other salons and I could add that she tops the rest. As for haircut....stylist cutted too short, but it looked nice. Pros: Everything more

RoseMarie is the best colorist in the city! She always listens to what you want, then adds her expertise, and makes my highlights look so natural. For the time and consideration that she takes for every client, the price is always reasonable. I always walk out happy and looking great, this is why I have been going to Rumor for approx. 3 years, and i will continue to go for many more. Pros: professional, colorists great, relaxing, not stuffy more

The stylist convinced me to cut off 3 inches...she said she really wanted to give me that look. I trusted her judgement since she does this for a living. She gave me a multi-layered TOO TRENDY haircut. It was BLUNT against my face and it was a harsh look. It practically detracted you from the face. Yes the cuts are ""precise"" and they ""fall into the same place"" to this day but WHY did I spend $95 on some crazy helmet haircut. After it finally started to grow out, my friends told me it looked like a wig because of how solid and cubic it looked on my head. I work near Rumor and my coworkers went when they first heard the positive reviews but they experienced the same results--sharp cubic hairstyling. If that's your style--urban, edgy, rebellious and a little grungy--go for it. Pros: precise, kind, small setting Cons: , $95, style is too rigid more

My wife was extreamly happy with the color that I bought her as a gift, but they were extreamly cagey about fixing a price, and then when it was complete told me it cost more than the top end of their published range. Why you'd sting a first time customer I'll never know, it's certainly not the way to attract repeat business. Pros: Service more

Got my hair highlighted by Steven. He did such a fantastic job........... everyone can't stop noticing something ""positively new"" about me. It looks so natural and vibrant all at once. It's such an amazing job. I wanted something subtle but vibrant, which is a complete oxy-moron, but Steven did it! I brought in a picture from a magazine and the color came out exactly as I wanted it, and it even suits my complexion and style! woohoo! Pros: Easy scheduling, Calm atmosphere, quality more

I should have skipped my appointment and gone to a John Louis David Salon instead. For $100 I should have received a better haircut and service. The haircut was slightly below average and the blowout was way below average. Citysearch should remove this salon from their ""highly recommended"" list. I personally give it a rating of 3. Pros: Nice decor Cons: Uninspired Stylists more

Rumor Salon is truly one of the best deals in Manhattan. While nice hair doesn't come cheap, the prices here are far more reasonable than anywhere else. The staff is extremely friendly and considerate and the customer service is excellent overall. All of the stylists and colorists are well trained artists, but they do not try to impose looks on their clients. They only make suggestions, and then allow the client to have the final say. I would recommend allowing them to do what they suggest however, I've never had anyone there be wrong. Shifa and Stephen are both excellent, and everyone else I'm sure is as well. Pros: Excellent Service, Well Trained Staff, Reasonably Priced more
