Paulie is a great hairdresser. Gives a great cut and I have been very happy with the way it grows out. \r

Not sure what the rave is over MaryLou. One reason I went to PANYC was because of the good reviews for the way she does color and highlights. From my take, I was very unhappy with the highlights she gave me. Way too blonde - and fake looking. Looked really processed. And she had the opportunity to give me what I already had and liked. I told her I wanted them the way my hairdresser before did them (who moved out of the area). So in a sense she had a stencil to work with. After I had the highlights everyone said they had never seen my hair that blond before - that was not the goal - I like things a little more natural looking. And when I went back to maybe give her another chance I watched her do highlights for another girl and that's when I knew this was not a onetime problem. She made her hair very streaky and processed looking. Basically not natural. (I'm starting to think she writes these reviews for herself). \r

When you go for a haircut and color its not really the salon but the person who performs the service. I would recommend the salon for Paulie. I cannot speak for anyone else besides MaryLou on coloring and highlights. So from my experience I gave PANYC a 6.5 as I would give Mary Lou about a 4 and Paulie about a 9.
Pros: Great cuts from Paulie
Cons: Bad Highlights from MaryLou
