The salon has all of the nice amenities I got used to at Shelley (wine!). I moved to Albany a few years ago and was so happy to find Nina. She has cut and colored my hair a few times and I am always in love with her work. From blond to pink and back to caramel soon, she takes my ideas and makes them work. She is a great listener (about my hair and my life). I'm a very satisfied customer and won't go anywhere else.

Its pulse doesn't shake the shopping centers or the offices or the multitudes they carry. It honors no arrhythmia before the Capitol or the architecture that has grown around it. Because it's often the case that the biggest machine lives and dies not by its most imposing part, but by the smallest pin in its center. It's easy to miss Patsy's Barber Shop if you're weaving through the traffic of State and Pearl. You have to know to take the right onto Howard Street and go slowly enough not to miss the white neon tubing that brightens the shop and casts just enough of its glow onto the sidewalk to let you see the barbers ply their trade. Patsy's opened in 1930 at the cusp of the Great Depression, when a proper haircut was a man's resume and the newspaper on the empty seat was the employment office. It was a family business, like many that had dotted the downtown and further south to the neighborhoods that would eventually be sacrificed to Nelson Rockefeller's sense of grandeur. William "Tragedy" Yager now presides over the memories absorbed into the mirrors and the padded chairs. Since 2006, he's followed in the footsteps of his great grandfather, a man who likely opened up shop as he always did on the day Japanese planes set off for infamy. And anyone who's had a seat in one of his chairs and a hot towel on their face knows that Tragedy didn't just inherit a trade; he inherited a love and a duty to everyone that crosses the threshold. A large man with a long, thick beard and a tapestry of tattoos lining both temples, he wouldn't strike you as a man you would want to meet in a dark alley. But again, the seat, the hot towel, two minutes in conversation, and you'll realize that he's exactly the man you would want to meet in a dark alley if your car broke down, if you were cold, hungry and scared, if everybody passed you by. Because there are certain things you can expect from those possessed of the instinct of leadership. But what you may not expect is that sometimes, the places where matters are truly decided accept walk-ins. Patsy's Barber Shop has two locations, 3 Howard Street in downtown Albany and Room 126 on the Concourse Level. Call for an appointment and check for hours. And be sure to patronize the many barbers Tragedy has trained personally.

I got there which was a $50 uber and sat down and she looked at my hair and said it would actually be $400 instead!!! I have been having my hair highlighted for years so I do understand that in some places they can be very expensive particularly major cities. But this in an off the beaten track salon in upstate ny. And truthfully what cut the most was it felt very deceptive.. I sent you pics of my hair, I asked for pricing and called to check. And you choose to increase when I got there by 128% l?! It felt like I was there and in the chair and she was thinking I couldn't say no. But I could. Dont ever feel bad for standing your ground ladies and men. Don't let people bully you.

I would not give my money to people like that.
