BEWARE BEWARE BEWARE. I don't know if most of these reviews are by the staff themselves (you can usually tell when it's written as if it's an advertisement for the place which most of these on here are), but I have never received such a horrendous hair cut in my entire life (and trust me, I've received some bad hair cuts in my days). The haircut was so bad that they didn't dare charge me a red cent afterwards. Yes! It was that bad that even the guy didn't charge me. I walked in there with full set of hair and asked that it simply be thinned out/texturized, leaving the general length in tact. Whoever the guy was that cut my hair took out a pair of thinning sheers which I was comfortable with as a tool to thin out my hair (my hair grows so quickly that is gets "bushy" often so I am used to different thinning techniques). HE COMMITTED A CARDINAL SIN BY USING THE THINNING SHEERS DOWN TO MY SCALP INSTEAD OF (AS HE SHOULD HAVE KNOWN) ONLY USING THEM AT THE HALF WAY MARK OF MY HAIR. After 2 very short minutes, I now look like I lost my hair due to ilness and it's now growing back in "chunks." You can see my scalp all over my head with just chunks of long hair coming out. It seriously looks like I'm either losing my hair through some rare disease or I am just growing it back after a rare disease. I am absolutely devastated. I went to a very expensive "celebrity" salon here in Manhattan to see what could be done. Sadly, they informed me that it is so irreversibly destroyed that my only option is to shave it all off. She couldn't believe that someone actually took thinning sheers down to the scalp and did this to a person. Apparently anyone with an IQ above that of a toaster knows this. So now I'm left looking like a freak. My advice to anyone considering this place is to STAY AWAY!! If I can give you an advice as a fellow human it is that.
Pros: Inexpensive for Manhattan standards
Cons: hairstylists

A&R Hair salon, with 3 locations in Manhattan, can be called nothing less then a gem. Roger has been styling my hair for many years and he is the only man I trust (with his superbly tasteful and supremely competent professional opinion). Recently I tried color and highlights, again, trusting Roger's say-so, even though my inclination was to go with a different color. Once again, it was confirmed that the man was right! Fabulously transformed, I look younger and better. So - it is not all in your head - some of it is ON your head. If you are into pampering yourself and looking great - I just gave you a hint where to go ;-)
Pros: Unparalleled skill and creativity; very reasonable prices
Cons: None really; just wish it were a bit closer
