    Entered the salon in emergency mode after having a traumatic hair color incident expecting to feel a nervous wreck. The professionalism of the front desk and the fact that my colorist was literally waiting in reception for me put me immediately at ease. I had been lucky enough to have recently followed Dina (@hairhasdina) on Instagram after she transformed a good friend's look. After my hair was destroyed earlier this week by a formerly trusted colorist of many years, I sent her a dm and crossed my fingers. Not only did she respond nearly immediately, she corresponded with care and reassurance and booked me for the very next day. The disaster that was my hair walking in had taken over 5 hours. Dina looked at the wreckage, prescribed what sounded like a reasonable and simple treatment and went to work. One and a half hours later, I looked nearly exactly like the goal picture I had presented before any of this happened. Dina is kind and easygoing, but she is also a genius/magician. The results exceeded ALL expectation. I am booked for my follow up, my mother is going in two weeks, two friends are calling for appointments tomorrow and you should too. *On a side note, the owner Mark happened by our station at the end of my blowout and was incredibly warm and complimentary. I ended up having an impromptu headshot session and feeling incredibly beautiful- a far cry from when I walked in.

    Mark makes a trip from Miami worth it!

    For over twenty years I have flown to New York City to get my hair cut by Mark. Originally with long and very thick highlighted hair I arrived to my appointment once asking Mark to give me a 'monk's' cut. After my reassurance that he had heard correctly he proceeded to cut my locks until my hair was less than an inch long. It was this bold move that revealed my overall gray hair. I kept it short for a couple of years and decided it was time to regain my looks sans coleur . A few months later I was going through transition pains but there was always Mark to make me look and feel terrific. Today I am proud of my almost white hair and the compliments I often receive. All thanks to Mark Garrison who has worked with me as the creative perfectionist that he is. I recommend Mark Garrison salon to everyone, especially if you need the best hair cuts, color, eyebrows and manicures. GO!

    Very good place, like their layout and Daniel helped me today . Upper east side style for sure.

    Before, during, and after!

    Chopped off my hair and donated it to a good cause, win-win. Weeks later I am still getting used to the new do, but I have never gotten so many compliments on a hair cut before! Addison was extremely patient with me, and is an excellent hair stylist so I definitely recommend coming to see him if you want to do something fun with your hair but just aren't sure what! The assistant manager gave me excellent customer service (makes up for the desk which can be not so much at times, it happens). If you do have an appointment come early with a book or something to read as the area they have you sit to wait does not have any magazines. Everyone is very nice, they will check your coat for you, and they offer you something to drink which is nice! I posted a collage of my experience, so you can see my hair before during and after!

    Back again a 2nd time for a full set of ash blonde highlights and received the best service from the Mark Garrison team as I did the first time. You will be taken care of here. I specifically asked for Edita again since I was so happy with the work she did on me the first time and she certainly didn't let me down this time! She listens and she is thorough even if she has clients booked in between, she doesn't rush because she is a perfectionist no matter how busy she is. I received several compliments as soon as I walked out of that salon. After years of searching for the perfect colorist, I can confidently say that I've met "the one". Edita, you are my person. Shout out to Addison for my beautiful beach waves too! You guys are amazing.

    I received the best service I've experienced in a while at Mark Garrison Salon. A day before my vacation I was hitting up a bunch of salons looking for a quality color (root cover up) at a cost that wouldn't break my bank. One salon argued with me for a 1/2 hr, another didn't have any shampoo without wheat germ (allergy) and all others were wayyyyy out of my price range (clearly hair is quite the racket--Im in the wrong business ;)) but at Mark Garrison no one argued with me or sent me packing cause they couldn't do what I needed done for my price range. Instead, both Dina (colorist) and Mckensie (stylist) were called to the front to help me figure out what I needed and what services within my budget would be optimal. It worked out that what I needed wasn't in the Groupon deal but it ended up being the best/most cost effective option for me. Dina was super friendly and accommodating. To me there is nothing worse than radio silence in the salon chair so we just "shot the shit" about the neighborhood we have both lived in, our careers and of course...hair! It was easy and effortless. While I was waiting for my color to set Dina reminded me that refreshments were complimentary and offered again to grab something to drink. After I ordered my water, the nice front desk (maybe manager) lady came to me just to ask how I was doing and if everything I needed worked out (she was the one who called on the girls to help me figure it out when I came in.) I know it seems that Im focused more on service than performance but thats because, lately (especially today having visited so many salons) I find customer service, across industries in NYC to be deplorable. Having worked in the service industry for many years, I can't tolerate how little effort people put in to provide customer service and/or apply problem solving skills. So I was just super delighted that EVERYONE was so attentive and helpful at Mark Garrison. Lastly and of course most importantly, I LOVED how my color turned out!!! My first priority was to get rid of these greys before I headed off to Florida and I got EXACTLY what I wanted! It looks amazing!! I needed to take a break from the box and let the professionals work their magic and I'm so glad I did!! I will definitely go back to Mark Garrison going forward, specifically to get colored by Dina and cut by Mckensie! P.S. The assistant was GREAT too I just forgot her name! Very personable when she did my wash!

    The salon is AMAZING!! Everyone is very professional and knowledgeable! Dina as my colorist and my hair color came out PERFECT! It is as the exact color I asked her, and looked very natural. It was the color I always wanted to have! I highly recommend this salon and Dina!

    This is the color I love

    For the past 15 years or so I have to say thank you to my amazing colorist Lyuba. Who does my hair and it's still looks healthy and shiny. I always follow her advice, she is the one who really cares about my hair , knows when it's time for cut or hair mask. Very delicately and professionally navigates me through our busy schedule. Today I met her great assistant Neary , one of the best hair wash and hair blow dry in the past few years. What a beautiful team of professionals at a new Mark Garrisson location. Thank you girls for making my day and make me feel special. Lots of love. Highly recommend.

    Any salon that sponsors The Pantene Beautiful Lengths Program, which encourages people to donate their hair to produce free wigs for cancer survivors gets five stars from me. The bonus is that Mark Garrison's Salon is actually a five star experience. The space is clean, modern & well-lit. Spacious, airy & beautiful. Redd trimmed off 8 inches of my hair to donate to the cause. Great stylist. Not overly talkative, but very attentive. Before she even started snipping, she removed my necklace & put it into an envelope for me. She did a wonderful job. I'm totally happy with the cut -- She couldn't have done better work. Prices start at $50+ for a junior stylist & $90+ for a stylist. If you want Mark to cut your hair, it's $325. Color, extensions & bridal services are also available. Closed on Sundays. - - - Update: I left some official-looking papers at the salon. Went back the next day to pick them up -- Surely, people forget things there all the time. The staff lost my FedEx envelope & stock prospectus even though my road show name badge was taped to the former. Left my contact information & I still haven't been called two days later. One star subtracted.

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 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.
