Can one give six stars?

I couldn't find the salon entrance at first--you have to enter the vestibule of the ground-floor diner--and go up a flight to the duplex salon. I was immediately shampooed by Kaylyn, after which I showed her some inspo styles. She assured me the cut I requested was not unreasonable for my hair type and quickly delivered. She then added product and did a blowout before dry cutting for shape and precision. And she was kind enough to take before and after photos. My cut came out to a competitive $114 when paying by card, and you're offered a piece of milk or dark chocolate upon checking out. I recommend this salon for its skilled stylists, ease of booking appointments and relaxing atmosphere.

My first visit here was in February, when I came in for a complete change of look. I'd been wearing…read moremy hair the same way since 1986, and it was time for a change! I sat down with Trish (who specializes in men's hair and is also a Senior Colorist), and after we talked about my "authentic self" and what I wanted my hair to express to the world, she gave me a cut and color that was incredible. It completely changed my life... really! The next day, I auditioned for the lead in a new play, and I got the part! Later that week, I was hired for a highly competitive gig. The gifts just kept coming. I was just in yesterday for a refresh, and we went with a different color and cut, and this one is even better than the first one. I am thrilled. Trish is absolutely the best stylist I've ever worked with. She is kind, compassionate, and creative. Highly recommended!

I had been thinking about getting a pixie cut for over a year and finally decided to go for it…read more After walking past this salon countless times, I booked an appointment through their super easy online system--and I'm so glad I did. I booked with Frank, who was absolutely AMAZING. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed. The space is beautiful and spotless, I was greeted warmly, offered water, and given a robe right away. The hair wash was relaxing, and then Frank worked his magic. He took his time, asked thoughtful questions, and gave me the perfect cut. I've honestly never felt this good leaving a salon before. Frank is incredibly talented, detail-oriented, and kind. I walked in nervous and walked out feeling confident and refreshed. I will 100% be a repeat customer! Just a quick heads-up: while you can pay for your haircut with a credit card, tips are cash or Venmo only. Next time, I'll be sure to come prepared. If you're thinking about a new style or just need a refresh, do yourself a favor and book with Frank -- you'll be in the best hands!

Ronen at Salon 601 is an excellent hair stylist. I've been to every barbershop in Morningside…read moreHeights--having come from California, I found barbers novel. Alas, very few of barbershop haircuts were clean and even. I decided I needed to put up a bit more cash if I wanted proper results. Salon 601 isn't cheap, but Ronen takes his time with your hair. Shampoo and conditioner is typical with every cut. He then gently blowdries your hair instead of slapping you with a wet towel. When you and your head are ready for a trim, Ronen spins your body this way and that, tilting your head at various angles in the light, all to ensure he provides an even shape. He isn't limited to one tool either, he's dextrous with the scissors, thinning shears, shaver, etc. If you have special instructions, Ronen is excellent at listening to you. But better than that, he will provide insight and new ideas as to what might look best. If you don't like it, he won't force it down your throat. Salon 601 is clean, neat, and modern and more people are discovering its virtues. That's good for the business, but not so good for my last-minute appointments. The only downside I can think of is the salon is tucked under the flowershop off of Broadway, on W 112th. The upside, I can still get a same-day appointment.

I made an appointment for Wednesday afternoon and the salon was empty except for Ronen, who asked me to wait while he finished up something on the computer. I used the bathroom and waited until he was ready for me. Upon being seated in a salon chair, I showed him my inspo cut: a long, angled bob. He told me he couldn't do it as it was "too drastic." I have straight Asian hair, a bit past my shoulders and quite thin. I don't understand how a long angled bob is beyond the skill set of a salon proprietor. I left beyond disappointed and super confused--was it a race thing? I called a salon 12 blocks away and got an immediate appointment. Within 40 minutes I was shampooed, my hair cut and blown out, dry cut for shape and precision, and even photographed. I'm in my mid 40s and having worked in the beauty industry, I'm knowledgeable about styling and realistic when it comes to hair expectations. I don't recommend this salon at all.

I'm pregnant and was feeling so insecure about my appearance I saw a friend whose hair he did SO beautifully and naturally I reached out immediately at 10pm on a weeknight-- he responded promptly, answered all of my annoying questions, ordered the hair I've always wanted and got me in that week. He's absolutely lovely and an unbelievably talented artist-- I could not believe the hair and confidence I walked out with!! I emerged transformed with the most gorgeous hair and have felt 1000% better about my appearance than I ever did before pregnancy. He's so gentle which is so important for those of us with sensitive scalps and puts the health of your hair first. Mine has grown so much since I started extensions (I fully stopped heat styling because he managed to find the perfect texture for me) and am so happy with the progress I see in my natural hair health. Best experience on my hair journey in my life. I'd also highly recommend booking him for a treatment/blowout if you have damaged hair-- he makes one himself and I don't know what is in it but it is magical. I went from broomstick to soft and glossy in 20 minutes-- it is absolutely shocking.

I introduced my child as a client there too. Everything was great until recently, when I stopped coming as frequently, due to thinning hair. I decided to take care of my own hair more. As a result, over the past few months, it was made clear to me that I was not a valued client anymore - been kept waiting, judgy frowns and widened eyes at my grays, hurrying my appointments etc etc. I finally decided to cut the cord last night after a similar experience, especially as I was looking forward to getting pampered after a long time. Instead, the stylist's eyes widened in disgust as she eyed my grays (not even that bad) and I felt judged and demeaned. The thing is, the UES and NYC has a million salons that can be welcoming, and every person deserves to feel valued. No one needs to stay anywhere as a client if they're not treated well. Shoutout to the hair shampoo/head masseuse extraordinaire Christina! Always professional and smiling, I will miss your head treatments for sure! I will not name my regular stylist as she has done great things with my hair in the past, but she could have done way better with regards to professionalism.
