BE VERY CAREFUL WITH THIS SALON AND CHECK YOUR BANK ACCOUNT…read more THIS WAS MY EXPERIENCE..... Made appointment on Nov 14th at 11:30 am for 10:00 am Nov 15th. (Keep in mind theres no chance of a 24 hour notice of cancellation). Appointment was made w the owner Stacy "ok we will see you tomorrow, if you need anything give us a call, bye" Also told her i was not getting text messages or emails from her. We had a 9 min conversation on the 14th trying to figure out why her system wasnt sending me messages, after her trying 3 times on the phone to send messages and me saying "no, didnt receive" Stacy said, "lemme try one more thing, adding she was changing something in her system to where my messages to/from were "being bumped back" . After changing a "setting, in her system," I received a text stating that i had an appointment at 10 am on Nov 15th. Nov 15th I spoke w Stacy at 10:10 am, (all records of phone dates and times) in my phone to back this up, telling her i was around the corner. She responded with a very UNPROFESSIONAL YELLING ATTITUDE AT HER PLACE OF BUSINESS, THAT she was not taking me. I had booked at LEAST an hour appointment for color and cut (trim, just ends) She said she marked me as a no show without a 48 hour cancellation. I responded, "fine i understand the color, but i still have 50 mins, she can do a trim" to which Stacy replied "no she books 45 mins for a hair cut and has someone coming in for color at 11 and its now 10:25...notice on call log it was 10:15 at that time. And that she could surely trim my ends in 45 mins . She denied my request. If she booked me for an hour (which is crazy to begin with as a brand new customer, 1 HOUR FOR CONSULT, COLOR AND CUT???? TO SAY THE LEAST, IF STYLIST COULD PERFORM ALL 3 OF THOSE SERVICES IN ONE HOUR, SHE COULD CLEARLY PERFORM A TRIM (NOT EVEN A FULL CUT) IN 50 MINUTES. Phone call ended I went to my bank to do errands , saw she charged me $72.50 as a NO SHOW. I took a picture of the clock on the banks wall that showed that Stacy stating on the phone that it changed to It was 10:30 and I was 30 mins late now, which the photo on the banks clock shows i was there, spoke to the manager about the charge and the time was 10:26 ??????? Keep in mind this was THE SECOND TIME SHE WITHDREW $72.50 FROM my account for a "no show" because she claims she did not receive my 48 hour cancellation on November 2nd for the 4ths appointment. My bank advised me that I was not present at the time of withdrawal and merchant did not "swipe" my card therefore was manually entered. The card, was "on file to hold appointment and would not be charged per Stacy at time of appointment made via phone, I advised her that i gave her that card because she wouldn't be charging anything and that I would be giving the stylist payment in cash. She advised me multiple times " THE CARD WILL NOT BE CHARGED ANYTHING" So after the first withdrawal of 72.50 i called mad that she WITHDREW money when 1) she had no authority to do so on that card 2) claims she did not receive my email per her website BUT received my email on November 13th asking for someone to call me and confirm what time my appointment was on the 15th???? Now VENDOR HAS WITHDREW 72.50 PLUS 72.50 FROM MY ACCOUNT UNAUTHORIZED AND ILLEGITIMATE CHARGES. BBB and ATTORNEY GENERAL contacted as well as disputes filed against this company! NEXT STEP WILL BE SMALL CLAIMS COURT WITH ALL OF MY DOCUMENTS! OWNER IS VERY RUDE, INDIGNANT, DISRESPECTFUL AND EXTREMELY UNPROFESSIONAL. I ADVISED STACY THAT I WAS RECORDING HER CALL AND HER RESPONSE WAS "DO NOT CALL HERE, I WILL CALL THE POLICE FOR HARRASSMENT, WHILE SHE WAS THE OWNER, YELLING IN FRONT OF HER VERY OWN CLIENTS" BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL WITH THIS SALON AND CHECK YOUR BANK ACCOUNTS!!!!!

My pedicure was done well, and I was very relaxed during. It was not the best pedicure I have ever had, but certainly up there. For eyebrow waxing I have seen Jess a couple times and she does a good job. I can't comment on hair styling since I have never had that done here myself. Signatures is middle of the road for me, which is not saying anything bad at all.

Beauty comes from inside. Inside Christopher Brian Salon…read more Love is in the hair at CBS, and I'm hair for it. Its fearless leader and his team of stylists play with scissors for the shear fun of it, and are the ride-or-dyes you and your hair have been looking for. Nestled into the ground floor of Troy's beautiful Proctor's Theater building on 4th Street, with its highly decorative front facade of brick and marble covered in glazed terra-cotta, it's no surprise to discover that the salon's insides match its outsides. The interior is seriously sophisticated, with light and dark grey walls serving as the perfect contrast against the large floor-to-ceiling windows and big, beautiful green plants that call the bright window seats home. The main floor is a neat little grid of beautiful styling stations, and mirrors, plenty of mirrors - even full wall-length mirrors - except instead of feeling like you're trapped in a funhouse, you're lost at Barney's, and loving it. A fun feature I really loved: each stylist's station is equipped with a mini Husky or Stanley branded tool chest on wheels, including a massive tool chest at the makeup bar. So like, not only does it add a cool masculine feel to the chic space, but I love the message that sends to clients, like, "Yeah, we work with tools, too!" Nice flex, guys. The best seat in the house, however, is in Christopher Brian's chair. Sure, he has a slew of super talented hairstylists working with him, but Christopher Brian speaks hair; English is his second language, and I've never had a bad hair day with him. Facts. Christopher works incredibly fast yet extremely precise, and with the eye and talent of a professional who's been behind the scenes at NYFW. I've long been privy to his next-level hair skills, and I'm incredibly happy to be back in his chair once again. He works in every color of the color wheel, but he's a self proclaimed Blonde Lover/Expert/God, and those are my people, so hair I am! I would behoove anyone with a scalp, and a pulse, to visit Christopher Brian Salon, sink into a luxe chair, and let one of its awesome stylists give you the change you're seeking! In a sea of talented professionals in the Capital Region hair game, Christopher Brian and his team are definitely top-tier!

I ended up having to buy my own hair because they didn't have the color I wanted (despite the owner promising they had it when I contacted her a week before my appointment). Even though I bought my own hair and it was clearly ombre shaded; the braider didn't even attempt to make the hair ombre, so there were dark pieces throughout the light pieces, resulting in a weird (and frankly, ugly) mixed effect of the hair. The service also wasn't particularly fast, based on my other experiences with similar shops, but it wasn't excessively long, so I was fine with that aspect. . Overall, I wasn't wowed.

Wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, only had to wait 5-10 minutes (arrived at 8am).

Also, you have to sign your name in a book, in the front. They take Discover, Visa & MasterCard. The lady with the birthmark/mole on the corner of her left eye seems to have the bat phone as it kept going off, interrupting the music.
