I decided to try out PANYC based on the Citysearch reviews and my need to find a place more convenient to the PATH in this cold weather. I chose to go with Simon based on the reviews and the fact that I have Asian hair. I definitely liked the salon space (not cramped, lots of seating) although the building itself is kind of icky, but that's not their fault. Simon was running behind schedule but was immediately very attentive to me, which was very comforting. I really appreciated Simon taking the time to have a dialogue with me about my hair, what I was looking for. I usually am pretty strict the first time I try a new place, but Simon's contributions definitely made sense and I'm glad for that. He was very precise when he needed to be and always checked in with me to make sure I was happy with what I was seeing. My hair feels and looks wonderful, and I'll be more than happy to return again!
Pros: Spacious salon, attentive and friendly to clients, great hours and rates
Cons: Main building is a little weird
