Antonio has done wonders for my hair. He cuts it so that the natural wave makes it so easy to style. His garden outside the studio is a very peaceful place. I enjoy the walk through the garden to get my haircut. Antonio is always on time and schedules my appointment at the end of each session. I recommend Antonio for future haircuts. read more

Antonio is an artist who listens to what you want and strives to get it perfect. Also, he is a talented watercolorist, and his studio has wonderful paintings. Those paintings, plus the garden outside, make the journey tranquil and soothing. read more

Antonio is the best I have found with his use of color that complements grey. I always feel younger after seeing him!

It's a wonderful thing when you know you've found a hair colorist who is honest, meticulous, and clearly understands his craft. It is quite another when family and friends, who have seen your hair for decades, notice that you've changed stylists and compliment you consistently on the work 'your new hair guy' is doing. This has been my experience with Antonio, and I'm grateful for his expertise, humor, and patience as he answers all my hair questions. Truly a gem. read more

Antonio has been cutting my hair for more than ten years. I happily drive down from Taos because its the best haircut I've ever had. His online appointments are easy to arrange and he answers quickly. He's also a great conversationalist, friendly and has a beautiful garden as a place to wait. read more

After we moved from Atlanta to Santa Fe, I began looking for someone who could give me a cut of the quality I had been used to. I went through several stylists and stayed away from the barber shops. When I stumbled upon Antonio, I couldn't have been more pleased. He takes meticulous notes about your hair, and makes recommendations based on hair type and the look you want to achieve. For a guy, I get a lot of compliments on my hair. As an accomplished watercolor artist, his artistry transfers to hairstyling as well. read more

He doesn't take new clients often and I'm so grateful I was able to get in! He is an artist and does the most beautiful job with my hair. I always get compliments on the highlights and cut. He is the best! read more

I was referred to Antonio by a friend and got my hair cut by him in December. The haircut was fine but he really ripped apart my Chicago hair stylist about how horrible job she did on my hair (which I completely disagreed with). Anyways, I made another appointment to come on a Saturday morning. I get to his place at 8:55am and the door is locked. You have to enter this garden and walk through to get to his salon entrance. I wait a couple minutes because I'm early but then I keep knocking and calling. No one picks up and after 20 minutes, I give up and leave. Antonio never called/emailed to apologize and explain what happened. I completely would have understood if there was a family emergency, etc but there was no follow-up. It is absolutely horrible customer service and unacceptable!! read more

I've been going to Antonio to get my hair colored and cut for several years. He does a very good job at a reasonable price. He runs his shop out of a building behind his residence which is very pleasant - you can look outside and watch the birds in his garden. He's good at organizing his appointments - I've never had to wait very long. I would certainly recommend Antonio's services. read more

LOVE Antonio! After moving from Seattle, WA where I frequented the same fabulous stylist forever (Michelle - owner of Salon Zaffa if you're in Seattle and interested), I've found my new stylist here in Santa Fe! He's fun - he listended to what I wanted and needed in a style - he knew what a razor cut is - and did a super great job ala big city for a TOTALLY reasonable haircut price. Big ticket (as in big price tag) shops here in Santa Fe have nothing on his skills and the ambience is super fab - can't wait until late spring to see the garden! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND him (and his frequent flyer aka reward card). I'm making my color appointment and my partner's cut and style appointments this afternoon! read more

Very impressed. He did my pre teen daughters mixed, curly hair after not be looked at for like 6 months. He did wonders with it. Gorgeous setting and very professional. read more

Antonio gave me the best highlights of my life and a great cut! I love that he only treated the roots (mine were WAY grown out) and thus minimized additional damage to my hair. We agreed to lose the bottom 3 to 4 inches of "haystack" that had seen years and years of highlights. Now my hair feels like silk, something that I had been trying in vain to achieve with every conditioner on the market! I genuinely had a good time talking to him, he really is the complete package. read more

I never leave Antonio's disappointed! He is talented, knowledgeable, and honest. I trust and value his opinion when it comes to what hairstyle will work for me. His studio is surrounded by a beautiful garden and he also has lovely watercolor paintings inside. I recommended him to my mom who lives in Texas. She waits to come back to Santa Fe to get a haircut from him because he is just that good! read more

Antonio has been absolutely amazing for me. I have been going to him for a little over 3 years now and not once has he let me down. He has always been very easy to work with. Not only with the style I want to do but also with availability. I am a procrastinator and always wait to the last second and he has always been able to make time for me, sometimes going well beyond his normal closing times. This has been great for me. I also have presented him multiple styles I would like to do my hair and he has able to nail it every single time. I have continually recommended him to many friends and family and gotten nothing but thank yous from them for introducing him to such an amazing stylist. read more

So... who the heck is writing all this marvelous stuff about this man? COME ON! He is average (at best) and a little odd (maybe a tad MORE than odd). He is nervous as all git out and gossips relentlessly about EVERYONE (including the Governer, whom he claims to know/hate all too well). My haircut was alright, but nothing spectacular. So--- gimme a break. He is a bit of a nutjob who is a little off balanced--- and does an 'ok' job of haircutting and color for this part of NM. Period. read more

To all those looking to get a cut in Santa Fe, when it comes to cuts and color, this guy is an absolute stud. I have been going to his studio for nearly 7 years, and I have gotten a million "high end" cuts from Boston to L.A., and at one-third the price, this guy outperforms everyone. His breadth and depth of knowledge when it comes to hair is unreal. Whether it's the chemical interactions or make-up in dyes and bleaches, or how to make internal cuts for perfect texture, this guy knows it all. Seriously, if you think you know about hair or what a good cut is, you'll rethink that assumption after a few conversations with this guy. But that doesn't mean he just does what he thinks is best; this guy listens! So much so, that if you didn't ask for it, you're probably not going to get it. And although some may feel this is a fault, when it comes to my hair, I like to know that my hairstylist and me are on exactly the same page at all times, which leads to consistently great cuts. In addition, this guy is definitely the most responsible and professional person I have ever worked with, not to mention perfectionist. I mean, not only does he work with you on what you want, giving insightful professional advice, but he has never missed an appointment or failed to call me back, even during the toughest of times. Antonio finds a way to call me and schedule appointments when no one else would ever consider working. He is that committed to his loyal customers. So, if you know exactly what you want, go to Antonio's Hair Studio. Because IF IT'S POSSIBLE, he's going to give you exactly what you want, at a VERY reasonable price. And if it's not PERFECT the first time, I promise, he's going to make sure to fine tune your notes, (which he keeps in his computer) until it is. read more

Antonio is one of Santa Fe's best kept secrets (though someone this skilled and professional in such a small town shouldn't be kept a secret at all). I have had my hair cut and colored by him on numerous occasions, and his skills and knowledge rival those of pricier salons found in large cities like LA and NYC. His prices are very reasonable for the quality of style and care you receive; if you are interested in actual costs, I think he has a website which provides those. He is always punctual, unfailingly professional, intelligent to converse with but quiet if you just want to relax and chill out in the chair, and his taste is impeccable. He maintains a business out of his own property, so expect to find thoughtful touches in his decor and retreat-style garden, through which you walk to enter his salon -- a sweet little treat in itself. During the warmer months, I have arrived early just to spend a few tranquil minutes waiting outside on the porch, gazing at the flowers and looking forward to my appointment of pampering with Antonio. read more

I can't say I had as good of an experience with Antonio as the other posters. I didn't find the cut to be all that great, definitely less styled than I had hoped for. Additionally, I have troubles with hair loss, and I essentially told that it was my fault for eating the wrong foods (which is not the case at all). read more

I started going to Antonio a little over a year ago, based on the good reviews online. But his idea of a style for me was to let my straight, fine hair grow long. I agreed, but he did little more than trim it every 8 weeks. My hair had no shape or style at all, it looked horrible. I just went to a new stylist, who kept the length but put in some layers and bangs. Wow, what a great job! I finally have an actual hairstyle, not just straight, bland hair. Sorry Antonio, but you did absolutely nothing with my hair! read more

Had my hair done here for a couple of years, primarily because my previous stylist left town and I was hoping that I would not have to keep wandering around looking for a good stylist. Antonio is a nice person, and his prices seem reasonable, however, he just isn't all that great a stylist. My hair never looked awful, it was just always the same boring thing, no matter what I asked for. The color he used looked nice, but it always faded badly after just a few weeks. I am really happy that I have moved on to someone else. read more
