I've been going to Coiffeur for about 4 years now. I like this place a lot, and my stylist is great. The staff is always professional and really nice. But the last couple of times I've been there, it was really really cold. I understand this is winter and it's supposed to be cold, but it's supposed to be cold outside, not inside! And getting a haircut or HL when it's 35 in the shop is not good!!!! It's uncomfortable for the clients and for the staff for that matter! I dont understand why the staff has to work with their jackets or scarves on??! I really think the owner should do something about it, instead of having clients complaining that they are cold. We pay for a service and I didn't enjoy the last couple of times because I was freezing!!!!!! And the 3 green teas I had, didn't help that much to warm me up! I will go back for sure, because my hair always looks great and she knows exactly what she does, but I'll wait for spring time!!!!! read more

I visited this place after reading good reviews on yelp. Very disappointed with my haircut and highlights. No one can even tell that I got highlights and color is entirely different from what I asked for. read more

Just moved to the city and was in desperate need for a haircut. I have been known to typically leave salon's crying...maybe it means I'm a bit picky in regards to who does my hair. However, I woke up this morning and realized I couldn't go another day so what did I do - obviously yelped a convenient salon to my apartment in the Financial District. They were quick to fit both my boyfriend and I in for an appointment the same day. He got a cut (it looks great, not being biased) and I got a cut and color. Besides being really happy with the cut and color I was fairly surprised at how reasonable it was for a salon in NYC. The stylists were extremely friendly and made for a fun atmosphere. Though I stumbled into this salon blindly upon my move I will be returning for my cuts and colors going forward (as will the bf). Definitely recommend! We had Dena and Caroline (both were awesome!) read more

Tried numerous stylist/colorists in the NYC area and finally found the best stylist/colorist!! Junko is an expert in coloring and Tatsuya's hair cutting skills are beyond expert. read more

A French hair salon that mostly hires Japanese stylists -- what could be better? Kanako-san is my favourite.

Love this place. Have been going here for the past 3 years ever since I lived in fidi. Regularly get color treatment from Junco and haircut from Kanako. Everyone there is so sweet and talented. Would trust anyone there with a cut and dye. And I'm extremely picky. read more

Well done cuts, super friendly service, good music, cappuccinos -- nothing to complain about, really enjoy getting my haircut here. Daniel always does a great job, would definitely recommend him, although from other reviews it seems like most of the stylists are top notch as well. read more

Free bang trims, and right near my office, can't beat that, right? Every time I've gone, I'm subjected to such a rude, patronizing attitude, that I'm never going back. I'd rather pay to get my bangs done somewhere else and not put up with being made to feel bad about myself. The only time I had a positive experience here was when I saw Dena. Unfortunately, every other time I've been she hasn't been there, and I've had to deal with the guy with the giant Afro. He always acts as if he's barely tolerating my presence, seems to disapprove of what I want and grudgingly do it, or do it while pointing out faults about my appearance. Today I felt anxious about the experience before I even went in, and sure enough, after I was very clear about what I wanted (just a simple bang trim), he gave me attitude about the shape I wanted, seemed disdainful when I confirmed that yes, that is what I wanted, and then told me that my hair was greasy. I really wanted to like this place, and kept giving them more chances, but I don't go to a salon to be made to feel embarrassed and bad about myself. read more

Hidden gem - amazing service, delicious coffee, Daniel does great work and is super personable.

Went in to Coiffeur for the first time and was super impressed for so many reasons, but first and foremost - my haircut is fabulous. I moved downtown a few years back, and I worked downtown for over 6 years. In that time, I have never found a hair salon that truly fits my needs. I just gave up on finding the right place here in the FiDi a long long time ago. Then one day, I just happened to pass by Coiffeur and thought - that place looks too good to be true. It looks way beyond cool for the FiDi. When I walked in - everyone was so kind and helpful. They served me an awesome espresso and Daniel cut my hair and he killed it, meaning he got it absolutely right. I wanted to reduce the weight of my long hair, and wanted chopped short layers on my crown for my thick wavy/curly hair. He did exactly as I asked. He blew it out, as I had asked. Not too straight with some body and curl. It feels soooo good! I LOVE IT. My cut was $80 which is about what I expected and think is reasonable. Was also extra nice to listen to some great music - (highlights were Grace Jones, Rod Stewart), and talk garage rock with Daniel. It's been entirely too long since I've had my hair cut by someone that can talk music with me. So I definitely will be back and advise any of you (especially if you live and work in the FIDI) to go to Coiffeur. read more

Came here for a blow out for a wedding I was in town for. Booked only a few days before my appointment. They took me on time, and did a fantastic job! Highly recommend! read more

After three years of salon hopping I've finally found a home. My cut and style are decidedly low maintenance (shoulder length, no frills), but I had a hard time finding anyone or any place that could cut it with consistency. Chie puts so much care into her work, really takes a good look at your hair, growth direction, how you typically style it, and diligently goes to work. And even after a beautiful blow dry, she keeps working at it to get each strand just eight. Worth every penny and couldn't recommend more. read more

So I've been dying to get a haircut for weeks now- I haven't cut it since my Wedding in May and now that I have the freedom to do anything, I thought I'd go for it :) I called ahead and made an appt with Dena, though I had never been to Coiffeur before and wasn't sure how she would be. I have to say that I was impressed and so happy about the cut Dena gave me. I told her some ideas I had in mind and she also suggested some things and together we worked at the perfect layered look with some bangs. Dena took her time and also gave me some tips on doing my hair as she worked on it. I especially loved the head massage. She used minimal products to style my hair, which I absolutely love, as I can re-create this at home if I'd like. She also offered to re-trim my bangs for free if I ever wanted to. I highly recommend this place especially Dena! I will definitely be back :) read more

Cool little shop. Motoya is excellent. Great cut each time. I've never waited long and they always ask you if you want an espresso. Love it. read more

Junko is literally amazing!!! Thank you and the stylist that cut my hair (didn't catch her name) was just as talented! They really are hair doctors to say the least! read more

I like Coiffeur. Feels very homey and rustic. Customer-focused. Not a fancy place. Great head massage with shampoo.

Coiffure is an amazing salon. The owner is French and he has a natural and inspired touch with hair and color. I've been going to the salon for 3 years and every visit makes me feel like a hair miracle has transpired. Somehow Coiffure's staff has the ability to analyze my face shape and hair and cut beautifully even if I only specify length. I've been pleased every time! read more

AMAZING! Thank you Junko!!! She fixed the poor highlighting job I had gotten at another salon. After drying my hair and deciding it still wasn't light enough, she even did another round of highlighting to get my desired color. I felt bad she had to do a second round but she insisted - with a smile on her face. I will only go back here. Junko did a fabulous job - exactly what I wanted! read more

I love my haircut! Tatsuya was awesome! He first listened to me carefully about how I want my hair to look, told me what he he was going to do and worked on my hair very carefully. I stronly recommend the place and Tatsuya. Thanks again! read more

Fabulous haircuts from Motoyo! So happy to have found her!

I very rarely write reviews of places, in fact this is my first review on Yelp, although I read reviews on here all the time! However, I have been going to Coiffeur for 5 years now and I just need to state how wonderful this salon is. I get my hair cut and colored (highlights) and I always end up feeling like a million bucks at the end. I always go to Stephan, the owner, for my hair cuts and he really listens to what I want while offering always good professional advice. I have very straight and fine hair and when I have gone to other salons it sometimes comes out limp and flat looking, but Stephan is very good at working with my hair type. I see people with all different types of hair leaving looking great as well. I have heard that the other stylists are also very good. I have had my hair colored by both Junko and Stephan and they both did an excellent job. I receive so many compliments after I leave each and every time. But beyond their great work, they are so friendly and thoughtful. They always offer coffee or tea, and I had a horrible headache yesterday when I was getting my hair cut and they actually ran out to buy some Advil despite my protests! Also I notice that Stephan gives a friendly greeting to each and every person that walks in. I give this salon an A+. Now I just have to find a good doctor and dentist in this crazy city and I'm set!! read more

Completely worth the $49 plus tip. Did an amazing job and was really friendly.

I loved the stylist and the service. Decently priced. My only complaint is that they didn't have the AC on, the stylist and I were both sweating. read more

I have been going to Coiffeur for more than a year and have always found the entire staff to be accommodating warm and extremely talented .It has a comfortable feeling where anyone of any age can feel welcome. I was surprised to read a negative review . I am sure there must have been either a misunderstanding or an unavoidable problem as I have always been more than satisfied with the service. The owner is gracious and the other operators go out of their way to serve their customers. The operator who does my hair is attentive and in the short time I have been with her has been nicer to me than people I use to go to for twenty years. I love the lack of pretentiousness and pomposity of so many other Manhattan salons. I urge the woman who was disappointed to give Coiffeur another chance I am sure they will more than make up for her disappointment. read more

I can't believe anyone would have anything negative to say about Le Coiffeur. I have been having my hair cut at Le Coiffeur for about two years and I have only positive things to say about my experience. The haircuts are excellent, the staff is gracious and attentive and my hair always looks great. The staff goes out of the way to give you a great all around experience. I highly recommend Le Coiffeur and Caroline for a great haircut. read more

I've been going to this hair saloon since 2007 and have been going to Caroline. I went to this hair saloon after an experience with a chique hair saloon on 5th avenue midtown where I got a great cut but shortly thereafter realized that it was not sustainable after paying the sticker-shock bill. Caroline gave me and continues to give me the best single color processing and cut . I get compliments all the time about my hair and owe it to Caroline. I strongly recommend going to this saloon. Simply put, you get a great color, cut and great service (I love their cappuccinos and the way the saloon employees all work together) and a reasonable bill so you can spend what you saved on more important things! read more

After asking a woman on the street where she got her hair cut, I proceeded directly to Coiffure and asked for an appointment with her stylist, Stephan. He also happens to be the owner of the shop. I was able to get an appointment that evening and was thrilled with the way he cut my hair, paying attention to my lifestyle, how my hair framed my face and my hair realities (straight with no body). Those are my words not his but the cut he gave me makes it obvious hat he knew what kind of hair he was dealing with and how to cut it because my heretofore limp straight hair now LOOKS like it has volume and body. Oh, and it's simple to blow dry and go. Everyone who walked out of Coiffeur that evening had great looking hair. Also, the other stylists were fun and friendly as was Stephan. And lucky for me, the shop is right around the corner from where I live. read more

I had trouble deciding how many stars to give because the haircut and color I got from Ross were the best I have had in a very long time. What was troubling and very uncomfortable was that there was NO air conditioning and it was an extremely hot day! With that said I will definately go back and hopefully the airconditioning will be back on! Generally the salon is a pleasantt place to be read more

I called in the morning and they had an opening that afternoon which was great. I got there a little early and they promptly took my coat and offered a cappuccino, and I was able to sit down immediately. Everyone was very nice. I had a cut with Daniel and was chopping about 10 inches off my hair. I have thick, fine, straight hair and came in with a picture but an open mind. Daniel was really friendly and knew exactly what I wanted. He was quick but precise, and finished with a great blowout. It was only $80! Such a great deal for an amazing cut in the city. The salon was clean and had a fun, young vibe with good music, plus the products all smell amazing. Definitely recommend. read more

Alright, so I literally just came back from this salon. I live a block and a half away so it look about two minutes to walk there- not a big deal. Convenient, lovely, lean, everybody is super nice and the clientele seem to be very nice people as well. Claire did my hair exactly the way I wanted despite having a non-conventional request and everything was wonderful until it came to pricing. Normally, I'm okay spending a little bit of money and since the yelp review had only two dollar signs meaning "moderately priced" I was expecting to spend maybe $75-$90. However, when I was finally finished, I was charged $130! So, to everyone: I would absolutely recommend this salon without question- but if you are looking to spend less than $100 for a trim, color, and blow-dry, I would suggest seeking out an alternative. read more

Junko is amazing. Best colorist I have seen and price is totally fair. I have to go often since I am about 90% gray. I never get "hot roots" (if you are gray you totally understand) and the one time I had an issue she wouldn't let me walk out without fixing it. She takes great pride in her work and loves her customers. read more

I received a HORRIBLE cut here by Melanie yesterday afternoon. I was put in a chair they tucked in a corner (not even a stylist chair) which resulted in the most choppy and uneven cut I have ever received. At first, not enough was taken off and when I mentioned that she proceeded to hack into it when dry and took another inch off which I absolutely did not want. I'm now in tears and have been for 24 hours ... And before the endless amount of holiday photos!!! I'm screwed. Thanks couffeur for charging me $80 to cry and ruin Christmas. read more

I walked in and asked for a haircut and a full head of highlights (there was about 6 months of root growth--I'm a student on a budget and short on free time, so I keep my hair maintenance to twice a year). Dena did the highlights, and when I answered her question about why I wait so long between re-highlighting, she responded in a somewhat condescending air, expressed her shock that god forbid, someone might wait that long. Now, I get it, there are stylists out there who just want to hock products or extra services to make money, so they'll talk about how damaged your hair is so seriously as if they're talking about someone having a brain tumor! But because I've see before from stylists, I wasn't put-off right then. The highlights did not come out light enough. My hair was cut by a very sweet Japanese stylist, and I actually really like the cut. However, without even asking, they began a blow-out. Which they undoubtedly charged me for. Look, all I need is a quick dry so I don't catch cold outside. At least have the decency to ask me if I would like a service that will just end up costing me more. When I returned to the salon to have the highlights fixed, the first thing stylist Dena says to me is "I've been thinking about this situation with your highlights all weekend. I think I did a kickass job on them, and I didn't feel like you even said you liked them or appreciated what I did--I actually felt really offended all weekend." :::what did I just walk into, a therapy session?:::: 1) I wanted to say, "You charged me $300 for highlights and a haircut, and I gave you a full 20% tip on top of that ($60)--isn't the whole point of the tipping system to show appreciation for work done?" 2) I most definitely thanked her, told her how natural she made it look, but also respectfully told her "It might be the lighting in here, but I'm not sure they came out as light as I wanted--I'll sit with it for a few days and see how I feel about them" (At that price, I expect to get the result I asked for). To which she replied at the time "Oh yes, definitely, just come back in within the next week and I can add some extra highlights in the front if it's not as light as you want it." 3) Why are you spending your whole weekend feeling upset/offended? Me saying it's not light enough is nothing personal about your technique. I'm just asking you to fix it to get to where I wanted it and paid for. In addition, I was SHOCKED by the $300 cost. That is exorbitant even for Manhattan, not to mention that blow-out I got charged for but didn't ask for. Dena added a few more highlights in when I returned, but it still did not turn out the light blond that I asked for. It still has a yellow-orange brassiness to it. If Devachan (an upscale Manhattan salon) can get it right for less...heck, Supercuts is able to achieve the color for a fraction of the price, why can't the person charging me 5x the price get it right? I met the owner briefly, and he seemed very pleasant, and I admire what he's trying to do--a trendy, cozy interior, a gourmet coffee and tea maker, and French aesthetic. But I was really disappointed. The only thing I would possibly go back for is a haircut. As it is, I feel like i"m going to have to go to another salon to fix this. read more

Just moved into the neighborhood and needed a haircut. I walked in and they were able to accommodate me within a few hours. Really great vibe and very nice people working there. The haircut was absolutely perfect which is rare for a first time with a new stylist. Will definitely go back again! read more

I normally color my own hair but was forced to go to a salon because the wrong color tube was placed in the box and my hair came out a horrible dark color compared to the golden brown I color with. The company offer to pay for the color correction but they requested an itemized receipt with the salons name in order to honor the reimbursement. I went to Coiffeur in person and made an appointment a few days in advance for the weekend since it would take an afternoon for the entire process and I live in another borough. I explained what the company had stated and they made an appointment for Saturday. When I sat down in the colorists chair and explained what I wanted, {TOM} started hedging and hemming. He claimed he would have to do highlights which made no sense since the wrong color had to be removed from my roots and the correct color applied throughout. He then stated that he had never, in his twenty five years of being a "stylist" heard of a company offering to reimburse a customer with the requirement of a receipt. I offered to show him the company's email but he refused to look at it. He made some ridiculous statement that he could not give me an itemized receipt because the salon had no affiliation with the company I bought the dye from. He kept stating some nonsense about legalities and condescendingly asked if I understood. He then had the audacity to suggest I come back Wednesday for the color correction so the owner, who was on vacation, could approve the itemized receipt. When I stated that I also wanted a cut and blow dry hoping to sway him, he cheerily said I should get the cut and come back for the color. I found him to be overbearing and offensive. Clearly, Coiffeur does not stand behind their work or personnel and I will never go there again. An itemized receipt is not a big deal. Most estimates for anything are put in writing and everything is listed. It's an contractual agreement between two parties regarding the job required and payment. While it may not be the norm in a salon, if they took pride in their work and knew what they're doing, it shouldn't have been a problem. This guy's an idiot. I was actually referred by a coworker who swore by the place but to me the short lived experience was a disappointment and, embarrassing. Since I had made the trip, I was forced to find another salon. I ended up at Salon De Louie, where I was immediately taken care of by PROFESSIONALS without an attitude. It took some time but they did a fabulous job. I will be giving them FIVE stars. If I could give Coiffeur 0 stars I would since they did nothing for me but offend me. By the way, I paid three hundred dollars for the entire process at Salon Delouie, so Coiffeur with their snobby attitude lost out. read more

Tatsuya does an incredible job cutting my hair every time. He makes my very dry, flat hair look healthy and voluminous. He also takes his time and meticulously cuts every strand, making sure each detail is perfect. I can't speak higher praise of Tatsuya- he's an amazing stylist and is very dedicated to his craft. Can't wait for my next appointment with him! read more

Stephan and Audrey are the best in the city. So lucky to have them close by. Been getting cuts for over a year. Hey are consistent and classy. And the French coffee is added bonus. Keep it up guys. read more

i got a hair cut here, and was able to book it last minute. over all they did a good job, it was nothing spectacular, and i was the only female in the salon. i was confused for a second if it was an all male salon, but it was a decent experience and i would go back read more

I got a great cut from Caroline a month or so ago. A little pricey, so minus one star, but all in all, I was very happy with the cut. I just called for a new appointment, and Caroline has now left! Anyone know where she went? read more

Stephan does great short haircuts! The staff is super friendly and the music is great. They give great massages when washing your hair!!
