I've been going to Foster Glorioso since around 2016. I'm loyal to this salon and can't imagine going anywhere else. I trust Michael's judgment with my hair from everything to color, hair health, cut, etc. and value his opinion. I've been very satisfied and happy with my hair each time. I started doing a balayage since 2019 and love how the color comes out each appointment. I leave feeling like a groomed puppy! It's the best feeling. Plus, I ALWAYS receive compliments on my hair color. The salon has always been clean. It's bright, beautiful with elegant decor and a wonderful place to be. I love seeing the staff every time I come for my appointments. It's always so wonderful to see everyone. I arrive feeling happy and leave feeling happy. Everyone is so sweet and friendly. Good vibes all around. I always recommend this salon to my coworkers and friends. read more

Michael is incredible! I have never received so many compliments on my hair!! Perfection ever single time

Michael is the hair color king. Services are always good quality with a nice vibe to the salon.

Best in the business, Michael is an expert of his craft. I have been here 10+ times and do not expect to change things up anytime soon.

I've been coming to Foster Glorioso Salon for nearly two years. I specifically come to get my hair done by Yessenia. She's awesome. I've always had a great salon experience. The salon is always clean and never crowded. I've been back to the salon since COViD and they have taking the necessary precautions to ensure everyone's safety. Once in the salon i was handed a ziploc bag that contained a alcohol pad to wipe down my cellphone, a face mask as you are required to take off your personal mask, there was also a garbage bag that you could place all of your belongings inside. Then after all that's done off to wash your hands. There's handsantizer everywhere from as soon as you get off the elevator also inside the changing room. I felt as though the salon was prepared for the health and safety of everyone. I'll definitely be back. read more

Michael is the only person I trust to bleach my hair!! Incredible attention to detail, beautiful and clean salon, and always the friendliest stylists and staff read more

Michael gives the best curly cut ever! The salon is fresh, stylish, and organized. Can't recommend them enough!

Foster Glorioso has been my go to salon ever since they opened. I always get my hair done by the owner, Michael. He has always been supportive of my color changes and different haircuts and offers helpful tips on styling and how to wash it. Their new upgrades in the changing room really have given the salon such a welcoming feeling. I wouldn't trust any other salon with my hair. read more

Michael (owner) is terrific with both cut and color. In his bright, calm, clean salon, he consulted carefully with me before my whole head highlights and short summer cut. I was thrilled with the blowout too. Jess at the front desk is lovely and caring. I left my appointment feeling transformed, to better than expected. read more

Michael is my favorite hair stylist I've ever had! When I first met him my hair was extremely brittle and falling out. In just a year he's been able to completely transform it while still bleaching it and getting it to my desired color. Highly highly recommend the salon! Not only is everyone very welcoming and professional but it's a great space and environment! read more

This place is very clean with a very friendly staff, however, if you come to this salon with one of those package deals that you bought on the street by one of those persuasive sales people, then you must get ready to pay a little bit more when you show up, its an extra $25 dlls for product use that you need to pay in cash, I must say "things are too good to be true until you know what the true hides" Anyways, what matters is that I was satisfy with my new look and the customer service vibes from this spot. read more

The salon is complete and totally GEM. I came to the studio on a whim after purchasing a cut and color promo. I was nervous. I was blessed to be partnered with stylist Michael who's talented in cutting both straight and curly hair. He did my cut and color and when I came back a week later with a tweak or two or three he was beyond sweet and accommodating. He wanted me to be happy with my hair and made every effort to make sure I was. Customer service like his cannot be beat. Thank you Foster Glorioso! Merci Michael! read more

I went back for a trim in October 2020. I was not kidding when I said my hair salon has more covid protocols than the White House. The receptionist takes your temperature. My stylist provides a new charcoal filtered mask for customers, a paper bag for your used mask, staff are in masks, there are plexiglass barriers at the sinks, she provides plastic bags for purses, and an alcohol wipe with plastic bags for phones. Plus a covid health questionnaire completed in advance. read more

Greeted by super friendly receptionist in great looking salon. Met Adela, the shampooer, and loved her! Very sweet and kind. Then I met my amaaazing stylist, Michael!! Took the time to understand what I wanted. Shared his thoughts and ideas and then got to work. Gave me exactly what I came for!!! Turns out he's Glorioso!! I love that he didn't tell me right away that it was his salon. It came out naturally in our conversation and I really enjoyed that. I will absolutely be back. Highly recommend this salon. read more

I struggled with this review because of the friendliness of the staff (especially my stylist) and there was a nice ambiance of the salon but, I took time before writing this so that it felt right: I wanted a stylish curly haircut and I wanted to feel sexy--Im a working mom (little time to myself) so, I was excited to try something different. I left with a haircut that is too short it's actually not manageable for me and the back sticks out when I pick it up so, I have to use pins. I don't feel sexy...I feel a little poodle-like because it's so short on my round face. I don't feel like my face shape was considered. I washed my hair to see if it would come out different but, nope. It's way too short and I was told blowing it out wouldn't look nice because it's a curly haircut so, I have to wear it up. I came here on a promotion because of all the positive reviews on Yelp. Anyway, just make sure you know what you want. The stylist is very sweet and knowledgeable. So are the staff but, this critique is for the overall quality and how I left feeling about my haircut so, I am being fair. The one thing that came from this is that I have a new fascination with headbands and that hair grows back so, there's always a bright side.. read more

I've been getting my haircut by Michael for five years now. He's how is done an incredible job. I have wavy strawberry blonde hair. He does a beautiful job at layering my hair and shaping the layers to frame my face. My hair has been able to grow long and healthy because of him. I highly recommend! read more

I was serviced by Shariffa, she was very sweet. I got some highlights which I was pretty happy with and she nailed the color, but I asked for the same length haircut with some layering. There's some pieces that are so short in the back compared to the length on the bottom it looks quite uneven. I'm growing It out now, Overall she was very attentive but I dont think I'd return. read more

Curly-haired folks - you need to visit Michael and his team ASAP!!! They do it all, they do it superbly, and faster than you've ever seen. They do curly styles and cuts, they'll style it straight and cut it straight. I go to Michael (the owner) himself and he is nothing should of genius. I have incredibly curly, kinky hair - Michael shampoos, blow dries, straightens, and cuts in 25 minutes. My last record holder was an hour 15, for reference. Not to mention it's silky smooth. styled well, and cut to PERFECTION. Worth every penny! Also the salon is clean, beautiful, and the staff is super friendly. My long search for a hair salon that can handle my curls and cut them well is finally over! read more

I cannot say enough amazing things about Michael and the entire team at Foster Glorioso. Michael has been cutting and styling my hair for 8 year. He keeps my hair super healthy and encourages me to try new styles. He's the most professional and best at what he does, and is one of the funniest, nicest, and most genuine humans. I look forward to my haircuts -- they are a special event! This is the salon experience you want. read more

I came to Foster Glorioso for the first time hoping I'd meet a stylist I would trust to do something dramatic to my hair because I was looking for a change. Sharifa was perfect! She is knowledgeable, hip, friendly, and very talented. She had great suggestions and was never pushy. I got exactly what I wanted, which consisted of cutting off about 8" of my long blonde hair, and having a funky a-symmetrical bob - the first time I've had short hair since I was a child! Sharifa was so professional, I was never concerned about such a major change. She did an amazing job on my blonde color as well. Since my appointment, I've been overwhelmed with compliments, even from people who I've never spoken to before! I truly love the work Sharifa did and I highly recommend her and the helpful people at Foster Glorioso. read more

True story. I scored a deal off the street from a guy who was hawking twofer discount vouchers in Union Square. I hate how I get sucked into these things, but this guy was too legit to quit, and for $70 for two haircuts and a bevy other free add-ins, it was a winning decision. My friend I were impressed upon entering the beautiful, contemporary salon. I loved the minimalist look and clean lines of the entrance and waiting area, and the front desk representative was really friendly. They whisk you into changing rooms to put on black robes, which gives the whole hair-cutting experience a very luxe vibe. My stylist, Sharifa, was just perfect. She, herself was bouncing off crazy flavor, and I was in love with her personal style. I remember she had a great, pixie-type haircut that suited her face so well, and her bangle bracelets and loafer shoes were all that. Anyhow, she was also laid back and very pleasant to deal with. She didn't push any extra services on me, though she did recommend toning before getting the highlights if I chose to do that because it would have been healthier for my hair. That however, would have set me back an additional $100, so I passed on the toning, and also the highlights (which was part of the deal that I missed out on). I just wanted a fresh haircut, a subtle yet updated look, keeping my hair length long. Sharfia was able to achieve this look for me without taking any drastic measures, and she gave me layers that really helped give my hair some shape and style. I received a lot of compliments on it, and I would definitely go back to Foster Glorioso Salon, and specifically ask for Sharifa as my stylist. read more

I also got bit by one of the advertisers like others. Well I was in a need of haircut and I think they pried on my self esteem I guess :( I called and got an appointment the next day. The receptionist was really nice and I got seated in immediately. My stylist was the famous Sharifa. I get why she is loved by all. She advises and is pretty open if you don't agree or have something else in mind. For once, I was not given the vibe you get using a groupon.. She did a good job and Overall it was a good experience. read more

It has taken me TOO long to write this review! Normally I'd never be able to afford a salon of this caliber but I was lucky enough to get pulled aside on the street for a super deal on a cut and color. I didn't end up doing the color (I don't think most people do) but the haircut and subsequent styling was INCREDIBLE. I got Glorioso himself as a stylist. He knew I was kind of edgy to begin with, and he rolled with it and created a super clean, super sharp and modern look. I worry when I go to high end salons because I assume their filled with WASPs who still want the "Rachel" and other clean, safe cuts. But he did a great job, and I'll never have such a beautiful haircut again. I wish I could afford to come here every haircut! If you're curious about my cut, look in the photos for the girl with the shaved head! read more

Michael fixed a terrible color job and gave me the chance to be a redhead. The color is gorgeous and I am getting compliments from strangers everywhere I go.

10/10 Experience at Foster Glorioso I purchased an offer for a discounted haircut/blowout package at Foster Glorioso while shopping in Soho this summer, and finally went to the salon yesterday. Admittedly, I had originally felt silly for falling for a promotion on the street, but I am truly so thankful for my inability to say no. Michael, the owner of the salon, was extremely welcoming, attentive and talented . I added a balayage on top of the promotion, and left with my hair looking healthier, thicker, and better styled than ever before. Michael took the balayage reference photo I showed him and did exactly what I had asked for, and gave me such a great haircut with amazing shape. I see some reviews complaining about price, but coming from someone who has lived in New York their whole life and has been getting their hair colored for years, Foster Glorioso's prices are more than fair, and completely in-line with industry standard. The salon was gorgeous and EXTREMELY clean, and they followed all COVID precautions. I can't wait to go back, and highly recommend Foster Glorioso and Michael to anyone considering. read more

I am so happy I met Quinn on the streets!! He was great and I cant thank him enough for the package I got at the salon! I used Michael, the owner at the salon who was INCREDIBLE!! He really took his time and helped me figure out the best coloring for me. It was my first time getting any color done, and I did Bolyage, and really really love it!! He did an amazing job on the color, as well as the haircut and package. This place is the real deal, the salon is very nice and well kept, and they give you nice robes and drinks when you walk in. I highly recommend this place to Everyone, and if you can somehow use Michael he is the best!! read more

Love it love it love it! I'm usually not the type to give in to street promotions but I'm glad this guy (Elijah I think is his name) literally walked into my life. If it wasn't for him, I never would have given my hair the treatment and care it deserved. I came in for my 4pm appointment (12/30/15) and the receptionist was really kind. Off the bat, I already like the vibe of the salon. They make you take off your coat and put on a robe (so fanceh) and it didn't take long for me to meet the stylist. Hannah, if you're reading this, you go girl. She gave my hair life! She spent a couple of minutes studying my hair talking about what style I was looking for, showed her a picture of the style I wanted and even understood the type of hair I have. Because the style I wanted from the picture works primarily with typical fine Asian hair, she knew what to do with mine that could work well with my, wavy, thick, frizzy, Filipino hair. She added texture to my bob cut so it wouldn't come out boxy and had the perfect cut transition from the back to the sides of my hair. She pretty much did everything spot on. And also her assistant, I'm not sure what his name was but he told he was Puerto Rican, was great giving my hair a wash and did some slight scalp massage which felt amazing. Overall, if ever you're approached by a charming guy in Union Square for this promotion, take it. You're doing yourself a huge favor. read more

Hannah Faulker, I will come back to this hair salon because of her. Before touching my hair, she spends about 20 minutes talking to me and asking how I want my hair to be and of course everything she needs to know about my hair. I like that because some hair stylists go "okay okay okay" or "got it" or "trust me" and once they're finished. You end up with a bad haircut that you won't noticed until a few days later because they "style" your hair in a way where it would hide the negatives you can spot out. Overall my experience were astonishing, I love my new hair cut. I can't wait to go back for my dye advised by Hannah to let it rest from all the dying for a little longer. read more

I had a very bad experience with Foster Glorioso while scheduling my appointment, that I actually ended up cancelling my appointment before stepping foot in the door. I called to schedule an appointment to have a sew-in weave washed, and I spoke with a lovely receptionist who reached out to the owner to determine how much it would cost. They emailed me back and said it would cost $75. A few days later, before my appointment, I emailed back because I had actually decided to take out my weave and would just like a regular blow-out, so I asked how much that would cost. In my email, I said I had "texturized" hair. The receptionist came back and told me it would cost $85. I was confused because, in my experience, washing my own hair shouldn't cost more than washing extensions, so I called in to clarify. She said that because I had "textured" hair, and not the weave, it would cost $85. I was confused about this, especially because neither her nor the owner knew the texture/length of my weave, which they would technically need in order to compare the two prices accurately. I pushed for clarity and all she said was, now that you don't have the weave in and we'll be washing your "textured" hair, it will be more expensive because the hairdresser (who is the owner) finds it harder to do textured hair. If I had to guess, they assumed that my weave was silky smooth and that my hair was kinky and difficult. In reality, it was the exact opposite - my weave was very difficult to comb through, and my texturized hair is as easy as it gets. I found it wrong that someone should have to pay more to have their own hair washed/blowdried than they would for extensions, especially with the assumption that one style would be easier to manage than the other, without confirming first. I have gone to hair salons where they say, a blowout will "start at $x", and if it turns out to be extremely tangled, then they will charge an extra $x. That makes sense to me, because then the patron is not being disadvantaged for the hair that grows out of their head. If it turns out the weave is harder to manage, then the salon slaps an extra $x on top of the starting price. I found Foster Glorioso's pricing and the assumptions that came with it extremely off-putting and do not plan on ever going there. There were underlying hair discriminations built into every word on that phone call and I felt extremely disrespected. There are several other pricing mechanisms that Foster Glorioso can use to treat their patrons with respect, but even when pressed for clarity on the phone call, the receptionist (and indirectly, the owner) was too blind to see how borderline offensive our exchange was. There are so many other salons in the city that treat patrons with respect and dignity, and I would not waste my time OR money ever going to Foster Glorioso. read more

Bought a hair package off the straight from a charming Hispanic man who saw my hair and instantly knew (somehow) I had wanted a haircut for a while now. So glad I was feeling spontaneous that day (even though I was mad skeptical at first!!) and bought it because this salon was so professional, so cute and a great location in flatiron. The head of the salon, Michael cut my hair and I couldn't be happier. He was so genuine and takes his job so seriously that my haircut was exactly what I needed. Thankyou so much, I will be returning again! Great long layered haircut, with deep conditioning treatment at an affordable price. read more

You know those marketing people who stand on the street selling deals to salons? Can you believe there is a sucker that takes them up on it, who is not a tourist? Yes. Thats me. Despite of the fact that I have a regular hairstylist that does a great job. I got sucked into this deal, by this bullshit list of services t hey will provide for $65. I say no. so they offer it for 40. I bite (naive me). Since i returned the brochure I don't know exactly what it says on there, but basically what you get is a regular shampoo/cut/and highlights. The gloss they mention, is something they put in the conditioner. They are well aware that people assume they're getting a gloss treatment. Anyway. There is an additional $20 fee when you come in, just so you don't feel like you are paying $85 for the deal (for me $65) + tip. Sharifa did my hair. and I think she's really good. She did what I wanted, but I feel like i got ripped off. I"m happy with the cut and ok with the color, but it is a bit too bright. except i couldn't afford to update the package. . (this is NOT on her, this is on the salon.). Yes. 65+tip is a great deal for haircut + color, but the marketing in the street, is to get regular people to go to some high end salon. You know what I do when I can't afford to do highlights? My hairs don't get highlights. Anywho.. Before we got started, it was already suggested that I upgrade to a gloss treatment, (which i thought was in the package) to make the highlights look more natural. I have already paid more than I can afford for this. I think this preempted ask for upgrade is to circumvent them needing to give me a gloss treatment for making it too yellow. Any who.. Don't be a sucker like me. read more

I got my hair colored and cut by Michael here for my birthday and it was the best decision. Michael did my hair exactly how I wanted it and I felt so beautiful! I can't wait to come back.

I don't normally engage with strangers on the streets of New York, but one day by chance I stopped to chat with a guy who complimented my hair. Next thing you know I bought a $60 package for a haircut, treatment, and highlights (at this point in my life I didn't highlight my hair but figured $60 for a haircut was a steal). Long story short I got paired up with Sharifa at Foster Glorioso and she has completely changed my life. Sounds dramatic...I know. But, seriously she convinced me that a half head of highlights would look great and so we went ahead and did it. She gave me the look I didn't even know I needed. Now every quarter when I go back I know that I am in great hands and that I'll be leaving with a look that will boost my confidence even higher than it was when I came through the door. To top it all off, Lisa, at the front desk is a GEM. She is so sweet on the phone and in person. She always makes it easy to schedule appointments and change things around. Highly recommend this salon and Sharifa! read more
