I mean every thing about it was good. The hair cut was flawless, the barber was super friendly and we were having a conversation during the whole time he was doing my hair and he did a perfect job. Last but not least, the price was totally decent. As a customer I was totally satisfied and although it was a bit far from my campus but I will definitely go there again.

Penny not only took the time to have a private consultation with me in her suite, she also understood my feelings. She offered me multiple solutions and even a payment plan membership. The quality of the hair topper I ended up going with to help me during the regrowth phase was phenomenal! Penny knew to cut it in so it looked absolutely natural. Penny came recommended from a friend that had gone through health issues and lost majority of her hair. Love penny, and loved my results!

If you nervous about pulling the trigger go see her. From my research most of the places you can go in the capital region aren't real looking and offer a realistic option when you have hair loss.

Kent Hair Studio Review I followed my barber, Kent, here…read more Kent has been my barber for over 20 years now. I've gone out of my way to follow him to multiple locations and studios as he progressed through his career from a employee at Tulio to being his own boss now at Studio 1955. My continued patronage over this time is a testament to just how good Kent is at his craft. Studio 1955 is located across the street from Raymor and Flannigan (previously TAFT) on central avenue. The address is: 1955 Central Ave., Albany, NY 12205 Phone: (518) 608-4754 Studio1955NY.com They have plenty of parking around back, a disabled friendly ramp, and have observed all covid requirements for any state required protocols such as masks and hand sanitizers, temperature checks at the door and so on. I have copy and pasted a review below that I am carrying forward from Kent's previous studio, Rain, which has changed ownership. Kent is a good barber who does a really good job. He has a good bedside manner. He is always conversational but also able to respect when you want some peace and quiet and to just get a cut. Kent is a consummate professional who has been perfecting his craft for decades. He takes pride in what he does. This isn't, "just a job". For him, it is who he is and he is where he wants to be in life. He makes the effort to remember his customers and goes above and beyond. He keeps a journal of all his customers where he records their names, preferences, scalp geography (such as a birthmark behind my right ear that would bleed like crazy if he nicked it with a razor/scratched it with scissors). He cares about his customers. When my wife passed away three years ago, he attended the funeral, donated a bouquet, and still regularly asks about how I am doing whenever I visit. These differences set Kent apart from the competition and keep me coming back. There are other ones too. He pays attention to lots of little details and things that add up to a lot. He is quick and efficient but also takes his time and gets things like lines right. He lathers and shaves the back of my neck, powders it with fresh talc, trims my eyebrows and makes sure my sideburns are even. He finishes with a gel and hairspray and shows you the sides and back of your cut to confirm his work and ensure you are happy with the results. Which I always am. He even makes good, tasteful product recommendations. I've been using Nioxin for thinning hair for years and and am pretty sure it is why I still have it! (*knock on wood). It has a nice minty mentholated feel on the scalp and comes in a numbered system (2/3 for thinning 4 for color safe and so on). He also recommended a great Korean restaurant (namu) which led to a yelp! Review by me later. At the end of the day, I don't think people leave salons, they leave their hair dressers/barbers. They also follow them when they are worth it. Kent is worth it. As long as I have hair (hopefully forever!), and Kent is a barber within reasonable driving distance, I will be a return customer. I recommend that you ask for him when you visit Studio 1955 or wherever he lands in the future. Kent has a website built by one of his many loyal and appreciative customers and I recommend using it to book appointments.
