    The worst over priced place. They charge $85 for a blow out and they ask if you want a conditioning treatment and charge $90 totally horrible. Will never go back !!

    Thank you, Fabio for another great haircut! Fabio is a wonderful stylist and understands what is right for my type of hair and me. I always leave the salon feeling my best self. The location is perfect, and the staff are kind and friendly. You won't be disappointed!

    Was running a bit behind for my appointment called to let them know, they were very accommodating and took me immediately upon arrival. Salon is a modern open floor plan loved the ambience and they carried my favorite products for retail. I went with a full head balayage with Dorentina. I had been extremely upset since having it done at a prior salon, as breakage was so bad. She really took her time, I could immediately tell after the wash when still wet I was going to love it. She gave me great trim, my hair felt so healthy and areas where other stylists had difficult lifting she did in one try. Very impressed and would highly recommend for men or women!

    Inside! Beautiful

    I just left the salon and I'm freaking out.... in the BEST way possible! :) Came in for a trim and blowout by Fabio himself (hair guru celebrity in Europe). I live in Gramercy but traveled down to FIDI because I had a feeling it would be worth it. Boy was I right. Upon arriving, I was greeted with a cappuccino and then later on a glass of Cabernet. How chic and inviting! The gentleman who washed my hair was so sweet and relaxed me so much he put me to sleep in the chair. The reason this salon is top tier is due to the attention to detail. Even down to getting your hair washed here is the ultimate experience. --Why: They use super expensive high quality Kérastase hair products. You lounge in beautiful high tech chairs that massage you (not like the tacky chairs you sit on to get pedicures), and they give you the most incredible a scalp/head/shoulder massage! I asked Fabio to just "clean up my ends", which usually means a quick trim at any other salon in New York, but in reality he managed to transform my hair from dull & damaged-- to silky, sleek and healthy! How? No idea. It's probably a secret Italian technique and decades of experience. If you're looking for a salon to treat yourself to, this is it. I felt like a queen. And I don't ever want to wash out this sultry blowout he gave me! HELP! I'm officially addicted.

    Nelly at Fabio Doti Salon gave me an amazing (& much needed) haircut! She attentively listened to my preferences, offered expert recommendations tailored to my hair type, and flawlessly executed the style with precision and skill. Fabio himself oversaw the process, offering valuable suggestions along the way. I didn't think it was possible to transform my hair into what they accomplished. The salon boasts a welcoming atmosphere and provided top-notch service - I finished off my treatment with an espresso and nice conversations with them both! Walking out, I felt both confident and refreshed. Fabio and Nelly are truly terrific! Highly recommended!

    My hair never felt better!

    Elena has hands of gold! When I heard that she was back at Fabio Doti I called and made a appointment that minute! She has been cutting my hair for about 7 years and she does not disappoint. She pays close attention to detail and always makes my hair look amazing. She also gives me the best blowouts of my life, will never be changing my hair stylist.

    I can't say enough great things about Fabio and his fabulous team at the salon! From my first phone call with Lee and then meeting her in person, I felt such special attention as a new client. Fabio is a skilled professional with a kind and gentle disposition. He & Nelly (another great stylist) listened intently on my particular needs and concerns and truly cared about what I was looking to achieve. I also got a great color treatment from the lovely Dory to add a little spice to my short cut! This is the beginning of a great long term relationship! Thank youuuuu to the entire team!

    Color by Gianni, cut and style by Fabio.

    Beautiful experience start to finish with Fabio & Gianni. I have been highlighting my hair for years and after recently moving to NYC, needed a new salon that would expertly provide the blonde I desire while helping me keep my hair healthy. Gianni placed my color expertly and blended it well with my existing highlights. Truly a master of color & placement, with highlights that framed my face and will appear in a ponytail. Fabio cut my hair and fixed a bad job that a previous salon had done - I love having long layers and he gave me exactly what I wanted. Also, I am half Italian and this salon certainly feels like a second home :) I'll be back.

    This is how the original salon I went to left my hair.

    Let start off by saying I will never go anywhere else but Fabio Doti salon. The professionalism, speedy service and ambience of the salon is unmatched. If you're thinking about getting hair services done at this salon, don't hesitate, they are the best in the business. The salon I originally went to messed up the dye job and didn't want to help me rectify the situation. They left me ginger when I wanted to go blonde, closer to platinum-- as you can see my hair in the first picture I posted is orange. I called countless times and got nothing but excuses and basically no help (they even told me to call the following week to schedule an appointment). After so much frustration I decided to go elsewhere because I had an extremely important event I was supposed to go to and I absolutely couldn't go looking like a clown. Fabios staff exudes professionalism and knows their craft. They sat me down immediately, helped calm my nerves, and reassured me I was going to get what I wanted. Fabio sat me down with Gianni who asked me thoroughly what direction I wanted to go in for my hair color, listened to my input and also gave me his ideas. I could not have been in better hands than Gianni, he really did an amazing job and I left with a HUGE smile on my face. Im beyond happy. Grazie Fabio! Grazie Gianni! You have earned a loyal customer who will never look anywhere else for his hair styling needs!

Appointments became rushed, started late, and lacked even basic professionalism. You're barely greeted when you walk in, and the overall tone makes it feel like you're inconveniencing them just by being there. I told them multiple times I had a head injury from a concussion and the lack of care was very concerning how abrasively they washed and handled my head. My most recent appointment was a complete failure. I asked for a warm, golden brown and came prepared with multiple reference photos. While the color was processing, I clearly flagged that it was pulling purple. That concern was dismissed, and the product was left on longer. The result was the darkest my hair has ever been, almost black with a cool, purple hue. The exact opposite of what I requested. The color job is all mismatched, the lower part of my hair significantly darker, the roots are sloppy and uneven. When I pointed this out, the response was defensive and dismissive. At one point, I was sarcastically asked if I wanted to "bleach it," which is an inappropriate and careless suggestion for already fine hair. It was mind blowing to have this handled so poorly and then be rushed through a cut that does not look anywhere close to the quality of the past cuts. I followed up requesting a refund, given that this will take months to correct and fade, and received no response for over 48 hours. It's not even about the money - it's about the severe lack of respect. What's most surprising is that this level of defensiveness and lack of accountability was unacceptable, especially after such a grave mistake. Instead of thoughtful adjustment and ownership, the response was dismissive in the moment and silent afterward. Mistakes happen. How they're handled is what defines a business. This was not handled well. NYC has no shortage of salons that can deliver both technical skill and professionalism. This is not one of them. Updating this with a pic and additional NYC HAIR SALON SEO terms so future customers are warned since the salon has decided to block me after no satisfactory resolution. The pic at the top right was me pre-hair f*** up. Only come to this salon if you'd like to come home and cry.

This was their "best advice for me" and that I should come back and get both together. I only needed a haircut and this was the only chance I got (I am a SAHM with 2 kids and minimal backup except this day) so I said I would consider it but I need a cut now. It was 6 months since my last. That must have just not been the right thing to say bc I was judged, insulted during the entire session and I got the worst haircut of my life. I can't even get it fixed because it is so much shorter than I wanted. There are huge "texture" discrepancies all over my hair, the most obvious being in the back near my neck. There's also a strand of hair far longer than the entire length of my bob cut. I don't even understand how this happened. I'm so traumatized. I would never recommend this place and will never ever come back. I really had 1 chance to get a cut as a treat to myself, since I really don't have extra time to spare. And now I have to live with this until it grows out, definitely more than 6 more months. If I could give -1000 stars, I would. Please do yourself a favor and find a salon that can do a nice cut for long AND SHORT hair. WITHOUT A PERM TO MAKE IT ALL STRAIGHT FIRST. The skill level here is just so sub par. I could have done it myself.

I haven't cut my hair in 6 months and I have really long straight natural hair so you can say it is a blank canvas. This is probably one of the worst haircut I have gotten in years compared to other places that are in different price ranges. Leaving the salon it looked good styled but when I went home to wash it and had more time to look without it curled I saw really choppy layers and the length is much shorter than i wanted. For a cut I paid $107-110 not including tips and expected a decent cut for that amount. Truly disappointing as holidays are coming up and I have been wearing a hat to cover up, cannot wait for this to grow out but will take months. Ara was really sweet and nice but I don't think the skills were there.
