I've been going to this salon and more specifically Katie Ferrell for almost two years now. I started out going in simply for a blowout after a surgery when I couldn't wash my own hair. And then went in for some blonde highlighting (which were phenomenal) after trying somewhere else that left me unhappy. Katie fixed me right away. Then when I wanted to go back to more of my natural brunette Katie didn't blink an eye. She's been giving me amazing depth and rich browns for the last year and I'm impressed every. Single. Time. She's efficient with time, offers unique and engaging conversations and makes you feel extremely welcome. The salon space itself is lovely. Great drink amenities if you need, some of the most comfortable shampooing chairs and conveniently located. I'll be a customer for many years to come. read more

I am so impressed with what Jamie did with my hair!! I had always gone for a red/brown color hair but wanted something different! I showed her a picture and just like that she knew how to do my hair. I went for highlights with blonde and it turned out so beautiful! The most important thing is that she did not fry my hair up!!! 10/10 would recommend coming here and ask for Jamie!!! read more

I come to get my hair done with Barry each time I come to New York. This is the third time now and I'm STILL walking away happier than last time. Barry has got the magic touch and vision! Came in to get my balayage touched up, hair cut and layered, and Barry suggested adding lighter parts to frame my face this time around. KILLER MOVE honestly, my eyes bugged out when I saw myself. WHO IS SHE??? SHE IS ME. I loved it!! Barry's pricing is also incredibly fair and I'd recommend him to anyone in the city! Or even if you're not in the city!!! I fly in from San Francisco and make an appointment each time I come because I'm so happy with the work and experience I've had at each previous time. Highly recommend!!! read more

Just moved here from California, and I was super nervous to find a good stylist. But let me just say, finding Jamie was a blessing! Jamie was extremely professional and sweet! She took time in the beginning to figure out what I wanted and explained the steps to me along the way. I got face framing and a haircut. The face framing was immaculate and the hair cut was the BEST I've ever gotten. Jamie is THE person to go to from a dye job to a perfect haircut! read more

Jamie is my hairstylist and I cannot say enough amazing things about this woman. Jamie is everything. First of all, I am definitely a perfectionist and after losing a lot of hair due to covid, I have severe anxiety about color treating and brushing my hair because I don't want to lose anymore strands! However, because I get grays, this means I have t get my hair dyed every 3 weeks. On my first appointment, I told Jamie my anxiety about having a hair brush ripped through my hair. Jamie understood my concerns completely, and I have never had to mention that fear to her since. She has always been so gentle when brushing and treating my hair and the color always turns our perfection. Beyond how skilled and talented Jamie is with hair, she is just an amazing human being. Since the minute I became her client, I also became her friend. We talk about life - she genuinely always cares about what I'm going through on a personal level. She even has made an effort to support my business outside of the salon and is always up to date on what I'm working on. She recently even offered to watch my dog while I was out of town. This is normally not an offer I would ever take someone up on, but Jamie insisted. She knew my birthday was coming up and she genuinely wanted to help me out. Who the hell does that? What hairstylist is this good of a person and genuinely cares this much about their clients? Jamie. Jamie is just such an incredible human being. The love and good vibes she brings out into the world on a daily basis is such a gift. I can honestly say having this person in my life has been a blessing. I just adore her and would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a fabulous hair stylist in the city. read more

Favorite salon! Very on par with NYC salon prices so expect to pay $125-ish for a cut. Totally worth it- Kumi is the best!!

I had my hair cut and colored by Jamie recently and she is truly is a hair wizard. She transformed my dull and extremely unhealthy hair to the most beautiful color I've ever had. Besides being an excellent stylist, she was also just super cool. I would highly recommend Jamie for balayage/highlights/lowlights or really any color or style! Everyone there was extremely welcoming and down to earth which was honestly a breath of fresh air compared to a few pretentious salons I've been to in the city. I would also like to note how clean the salon was and how safe I felt there with their COVID precautions (temperature checks when you walk in, all the stylists wearing masks, all guests wearing masks, COVID barbicide certifications). Overall thoughts: fabulous cut and color, clean salon, laid back atmosphere, and a lovely group of talented stylists read more

If you're looking for blonde/balayage Andrew is the best! I found Andrew through a friend (because I LOVE her hair) a few years ago and could not be happier that I did! I'm completely in love with my hair every time I leave. He's a true perfectionist and transformed my over-dyed and dry hair to a natural, healthy blonde that looks amazing as it grows out (done 7 weeks ago in pic!!). I've been adding Olaplex and now have barely any breakage and my hair finally started to grow again! I followed Andrew over from a previous salon and have to say A GRAND UNION is my absolute fav one I've been to in the city. Super clean, trendy, cozy, and everyone is so friendly. Also - their hair washing beds are unbeatable. My last appointment was 6/30, a few weeks after salons re-opened due to COVID, and I felt extremely safe and comfortable. Everyone was wearing masks, temperature checks upon entry, and an overall super clean salon. read more

BEST HAIR AND SALON EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE!!!!! I scheduled an appointment on their website. I requested for Katicita after looking at her Instagram and saw all these beautiful balayages. I came on time and was seated right away! They check your temperature and give you hand sanitizer when you walk in. Everyone was wearing masks so I felt very safe. I showed Katicita a picture of what I wanted and she gladly talked me through everything she was going to do. She was so friendly and so kind! She took her time and reassured me I was in good hands (as this was my first salon experience in NYC). The salon is very clean and comfortable! It doesn't smell like harsh chemicals like most salons do. The music is also so good! My hair is the best hair I've ever had in my life! It couldn't have turned out better! Jamie is also super kind and styled my hair as well! I feel like a million bucks! I can't recommend A Grand Union more! If you want amazing salon service and perfect hair, you have to go here!!!!! This will always be my go to salon from now on! read more

After experiencing horrible breakage in the past due to a "stylist" not caring for my hair at all, I decided to take a break and not do any more damage to my hair. After growing my virgin hair for about 2 years, I finally came across this salon and saw Jamie's name in many positive reviews so I decided to get my hair done by her. I booked a consultation with her and told her what I wanted and my past experience. She talked me through everything; every process every single step so I know what she'll be doing to my hair. At the end she showed me how much my total would be. I booked an appointment with her for June 1st 11am. Fast forward, June 1st I got a double process, olaplex treatment & gloss done by the lovely woman. Jamie is such a beautiful, passionate, enthusiastic & kind person We were talking laughing the whole entire time, ordered food ate together and everything. She also talked me through everything and told me what exactly she'll be doing to my hair for every step. I am in loveee with my hair, my hair still feels very soft after all the bleaching. It felt so relaxing to know that I was in good hands and that she actually cares about my hair. Jamie is definitely my permanent hair stylist from now on read more

I've been to A Grand Union twice already! I really love how clean and chic the place is. This is also my second time coming to see Jamie. She's listed as a junior artist but her technique and knowledge about what she is doing is very professional. I first went in for a big hair chopping moment. I loved her services and energy so much that I decided to book again to have my highlights touched up. We spent the whole day together. Not only did she do an amazing job but she always took me thru the process where I understand what she was doing. Thank you Jamie & Grand Union! I'll be back (: read more

I found Jamie on Salon Apprentice because I was tired of paying $400+ for a mediocre balayage and I'm SO happy I found her. The price for a partial balayage, gloss, and haircut is significantly lower than many of the salons I researched around the city. The quality of work on my hair is apparent and it was exactly what I wanted. Jamie was such a pleasure to work with - she asked questions and made sure she understood what I wanted. She was so fun to talk to for the 4-5 hrs I was sitting at the salon and she really made an effort to get to know me, which I appreciated so much! Thank you, Jamie for a flawless experience! I definitely will be returning :) read more

I feel absolutely blessed to have had my hair done by Payton. He is the best thing to ever have happened to my hair. I went in to turn my dirty blonde hair pink - I ended up with a gorgeoussssss color. He meticulously applied the dye - and I even got an educational session out of it! I learned so much about caring for my hair. Clearly, he knows what he is doing. I have spent a comparable amount at other places and never received such a thorough 5-star experience. I felt pampered every step of the way. Payton even followed up with me via email to check in and see how my hair was doing after a scuba trip - and made me a personalized conditioner mix just for me. I also have to give a shout out to Jamie who checked me in and checked my temperature - she was so welcoming and made me feel like family. I even got to do a mini-photoshoot after the look was complete. Talk about feeling like a VIP! If you have hair - take it to A Grand Union. You will be glad you did. read more

A Grand Union is such an incredible salon! First, it is Japanese owned, and they carry the best of the best, Milbon. The service here is thoughtful, caring, attentive, and warm. Everyone is so kind and happy in the salon, which you immediately see and feel. I initially connected with junior stylist, Jamie, via email- and she was really accommodating considering my last minute request! I know nothing about hair, and Jamie made me feel really comfortable and listened to everything I wanted. She was so honest and that made me feel so at ease because there is an art to doing what you do and NOT making another person feel pressured or strong-armed. I've definitely been to salons before where they've been like yeah you just have to cut off 5 inches of this dead hair-- Jamie was like listen we can cut off what feels most comfortable for you this time, and then address the rest later so it's not a cold shock to the system. THAT'S what I love. I'm sure she wanted to cut off all the dead hair, but she just wants her clients to feel heard and be happy-- and she is just a happy, beautiful soul! My most recent visit entailed me saying "sunkissed hair"-- most stylists would have been like that is so vague and gotten annoyed. We spent easily 6 hours together to achieve what I wanted (I couldn't describe it- it was like a devon aoki blonde-y not orange-y sun bleached vibe)-- and Jamie did a perfect job. She explained what color processes we could do, what the maintenance and cost of that would entail, etc. I feel so open with her and like I can say oh I can't afford this but this is something I can do, and she gets creative to work with me. She is a next-level human and a life friend. Go see Jamie, your life will be exponentially better!! read more

My hairstylist, Katherine Farfan, is always friendly and patient! I love my haircut and hair coloring done by her! She will give me great suggestion and ideas about taking care of my hair.

Jamie, Jamie, Jamie! I am thrilled with the service that she did, and I love the results! I have been a blonde for quite some time, and wanted to go back to my natural hair color, which is black. Jamie spent a lot of time to get my overly processed hair to take on the dye, along with helping it look healthy and natural. She is knowledgeable, with a wealth of knowledge and experience. She is great at explaining everything that she is doing, and strives to get you what YOU want, and is honest about what you should expect with your hair. As for pricing, it was incredibly reasonable given the location and how nice everything is, and the products that are used. The salon itself is beautiful, very clean, and follows all protocols, while keeping you comfortable and relaxed. I can't recommend this salon enough! read more

I had a great experience here at A Grand Union! Jamie did an amazing job with my hair. She was able to take my light brownish hair to a perfect shade of blonde, that I'm completely obsessed with! Her knowledge and attention to detail truly shines in her work. She's great at walking you through everything she's doing and making sure you're satisfied throughout the whole process. Her genuine love and passion for what she does makes it even better! I highly recommend this salon and ask for Jamie, she's an amazing stylist! She'll be able to transform your hair with incredible results. You'll be sure to walk out the salon feeling your best! In addition, the salon is located in a great location. The interior was cute and clean! The ambiance is very inviting and relaxing. The staff is friendly and helpful. I absolutely love their washing station, the seats are so comfortable! I overall had a 10/10 experience! If you're looking for a salon, look no further. I'd recommend this salon every time! read more

A Grand Union - Amazing work by Jamie! :) - Hair Salons Near Me - New York, New York

Where do I begin? I was recommended to A Grand Union by my nail artist, who also is a client of this salon. I trust her judgement, so I had a good feeling going into the appointment. The owner of the salon, Yuki, welcomed me in, hung up my jacket and tote bag, and asked me if I wanted a drink. I went to the restroom to wash up before my appointment and was greeted by my stylist when I came out. Let me tell you, my stylist, Jamie, did not disappoint. She is a breath of fresh air, accommodating, and welcoming. I don't think I've ever met a more genuine person. She was honest about the current state of my hair, but also optimistic on what my hair journey will look like. She worked magic on my hair and the scalp massage was next level. Jamie is knowledgeable and broke down all the steps to me. I learned so much about hair during my appointment. I'll be back soon to do my color, since I was still unsure about what I wanted done, so I stuck with doing only a haircut at my first appointment. I can't wait to go back! read more

I'm back! Last time I came here was right before quarantine started, so for 1.5 years, my hair was uncared for. I developed a lot of split ends on my ends, but my balayage color still held up (albeit still so very dry and fried)! My hair was practically at my belly button at this point and I knew I wanted to chop a good chunk of it off. So I made an appointment with Katherine again so she can fix my hair. I didn't have much of a plan coming in. All I wanted was shorter hair and for my balayage to be redone and on the warmer side. And that's exactly what Katherine did -- she chopped off all the split ends and refreshed my hair. She walked me through each step and she was such a fun conversationalist. My hair now feels infinitely healthier than it did, and I'm so happy that I trusted Katherine to do my hair again. read more

I treated myself to the deluxe spa treatment that comes with a scalp massage and steam treatment. I highly recommend it. Lico sat me down and asked me what my concerns were and if I had any tension around my head, neck, and shoulders. I told her my eyes were tired from a lot of computer time, my neck was a bit stiff from sleeping weird, my grays were starting to show, etc. So basically, I was feeling kinda meh and needed some TLC to help me feel like the diva that I am (somewhere deep inside... ?). Blah blah. Anyways, after you tell her what your concerns are, you choose which shampoo scent you'd like as well as which essential oils for the conditioning treatment. I went with the citrus fragrance followed by ylang ylang and geranium. She then guides you to the shampoo chair which is more like a recliner on steroids. Then she gently massages your head and does all kind of magic to your scalp and hair with the fragrances you chose earlier. 90 min later you wake up with your hair super shiny, smelling really nice, and as if though you got a facelift (I'm not kidding, my cheekbones were like whoa). And then I went home and FaceTimed my sister and told her I felt super hot stuff while I picked up pizza on the way. P.S. I slept like a baby and woke up to three missed calls from an estranged lover. I guess he could sense my hotness. read more

I don't usually leave reviews but wanted to leave one for Eriko who absolutely killed it when it came to fixing my hair. I have very thick and frizzy hair and came in with a bad orange dye job. Eriko not only fixed it in one session but also had so much patience and humor when it came to the process. I came in with my confidence really shaken and came out feeling like it had been restored. She's really amazing and talented--super floored by how incredible of a job she did. read more

Whether I'm in the chair for one hour or five hours, I know it'll always be a good & comfortable time getting prettied up by her. Thank you Jamie for being my hairy god mother!

BARI is the absolute BEST!! I've been going to him since last year and I have trusted him with bringing my hair from a long dark brown 'do to a shoulder length blonde. I'm Asian so you can imagine that bringing my hair from dark (with having used box dye a few months prior) to a bright blonde was going to be cumbersome. Yet he did it in one sitting. After going in a few times to have it touched up we decided to apply a darker color at the roots to give it a more natural feel when my growth shows. After two visits he was able to bring it to the perfect ashy blonde. Throughout the process, he was attentive, collaborative and so fun. Sitting hours in a chair with him just felt like hanging out with a friend. I'm so glad he was part of my hair journey. The salon is also gorgeous, clean and bright. Love the vibes of the place as well as the other stylists! read more

I felt very safe and well taken care of the entire time. My hairstylist Katicita (Katherine Farfan) is very talented and friendly. Coming in I knew I was asking for a lot (I had very long, fine hair, with longer roots). She was able to deliver on exactly what I wanted and beyond ! I'm thrilled to have found someone who can care for my hair !! Highly recommend this salon and Katherine. read more

I got my first COVID haircut at A Grand Union and I LOVED it. Katharine was my stylist and not only does she give the best scalp massages, but she's kind and cares very much about how you want to look and feel.

I went back again in November and had the same fabulous experience and loved my haircut even more the second time! I've recommended many friends to check out this beautiful, safe and clean space for the best haircut ever! read more
