I paid $480 for my appointment and left with hair that looked patchy and not like what we had discussed. While disappointing results can sometimes happen, what bothered me most was the complete lack of communication afterward. I reached out to Masaki on May 13 regarding my concerns and attempted to resolve the issue privately. I never received a response. It has now been about a month, and despite giving plenty of time for a reply, I have been ignored. I did not immediately leave reviews or make public comments because I wanted to give him the opportunity to address the situation directly. Unfortunately, that opportunity was never taken. For $480, I expected a higher standard of work and customer service. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend Masaki.

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 could have done it myself.

He takes his time with every step to make sure my hair stays healthy while still achieving the results I want. Over the years, he's earned my complete trust.

I had the most amazing experience at Mark Garrison and cannot stop singing their praises! I am the type of person who dreads a stylist's scissors the way others panic when confronted by a dentist's drill. No doubt that's why I avoided getting a haircut for 3 years. I was apprehensive about the prospect of allowing someone to tackle my tangled tresses, but split ends were driving me completely crazy. So after a relative recommended the salon, I figured I had to give it a shot. I am so glad that I entrusted myself to the professionals here! From the minute I walked in, I was put at my ease. Jenine, the general manager, greeted me like an old friend. My stylist, Addison, was so personable and friendly. He asked all the right questions to learn about my preferences and lifestyle (I'm a pretty low-maintenance girl and need something I can just wash and wear). When I told Addison I was interested in donating my hair to Pantene Beautiful Lengths, he was super encouraging. His enthusiasm provided me with the reassurance I needed. After the initial cut (8+ inches off), it was delightful being pampered. I was treated to a wonderfully relaxing shampoo and condition. Then it was time to watch Addison at his craft. It was truly a pleasure to observe him work. He is meticulous and takes the time to get the cut exactly right. He also set my curls beautifully. The end result was the most flattering and practical hairstyle for me: an adorable bob with lovely soft face-framing. I can't remember the last time my hair looked this attractive and this healthy. I left the salon with a new-found spring in my step, feeling gorgeous. Thanks again to the professionals at Mark Garrison, especially to the talented Addison, for providing me with such a fantastic experience! Everyone was attentive and accommodating (they even offered refreshments). Best of all, they know how to make a girl (even a one who is typically nervous and awkward) look and feel beautiful! I will most definitely be back. read more

Edita really made this experience for me, she is a gem. She took her time in asking me for the look that I wanted, and thankfully asked if I had ever done anything to my hair even though it wasn't apparent. I've used henna to color it and didn't know that it would complicate the process, and upon telling her that she tailored the process to account for that. She was so careful and precise in making sure that every strand was the right color, and covered each individual strand in foil to get the best results. I felt SO attended to, her attention to detail is amazing and she is a perfectionist and an artist. It's very apparent how passionate she is about her work. This was my first time dying my hair permanently and she made it the best experience that I could hope for. The results were AMAZING because of all the attention that she gave me, and I get so many compliments on my hair now. She also put me at ease with her amazingly warm personality. She's sweet, hilarious, and gives great life advice. The salon has a great vibe and everyone is super nice, but Edita is what made it stand out for me and she is the reason that I will be returning. I will be recommending her to all of my friends! read more

First off, I am one of those people who gets nervous trying new hair salons. I am particular with my hair but was encouraged to try our Mark Garrison by the good reviews. When I saw they had a Groupon available I figured I would give them a try and I'm glad I did! Their prices are reasonable if a little on the higher end (highlights can be up to $300 and my cut was $150) but you are absolutely getting what you are paying for. The salon is large and very attractive with a coat check and coffee bar which is a nice touch. The gal who did my highlights (will edit to add her name!) understood exactly what I wanted and was QUICK! I hate getting my hair colored because of how long it takes but my color (half head of highlights) was done in about an hour, including processing. The guy (i believe it was Mark) who did my cut was great too. While he took a little longer (about an hour) for a haircut then I'm used to, I didn't mind because he was extremely precise with the cut. It's honestly one of the better haircuts I've had in a while. Considering I only get my hair done about 4 times a year I think the extra $100-$200 per visit is definitely warranted. read more

Mark Garrison is amazing!! I went to him when I wanted to donate my hair for Pantene Beautiful Lengths. He took the time to find out about me as a person, my lifestyle, my type of hair, the shape of my face all before suggesting the type of cut I should consider. I had been growing out my hair for about 2 years to donate and was so scared to go to a place where they would just throw my hair in a ponytail and chop it off. Before he cut it he took the time to explain what happens to my hair after he sends it to Pantene. He also took down all of my information and I received a confirmation letter in the mail about a month later from Pantene confirming that they had received my hair and thanking me for the donation. As for the cut, it was the BEST haircut/style I have ever received. I cannot begin to explain all of the compliments I received and continue to. It's been over 2 months and it still looks fresh. My boyfriend explained it best, "It goes really good with your head." Translation a stylist finally gave me a style that compliments my face. THANK YOU MARK!!! read more

I've been going here for six years, and from colorists to stylists to coat check to reception have always had exceptional service and great results. I've referred three friends here over the years, and all are now regular customers. Greg is amazing and takes time to understand what I'm looking for. **Just in case anyone reads the 6/3/17 review from "Abby P" I would like to say that I witnessed the interaction. The front desk staff is to be commended for their professionalism in front of a woman who was yelling, sticking her finger in their faces and saying "These people are idiots" -- by which it was obvious she meant people of color. Both receptionists have been there for years, and are beautiful, sophisticated, multilingual and courteous. Abby P wouldn't leave or stop abusing the staff until a stylist finally threatened to call the police and have her removed. Her behavior was that out of line. I've written to the owner recommending that the woman be banned from the salon, and another customer who witnessed it has done the same. read more

Mark Garrison is the city's premier haircutter (and one of his colorists, Lubya, is also fantastic.) He cut my hair for 7 years, from 1996- 2003, until I decided to test out Sally Hersberger's salon on W. 14th St. The results were uneven ('scuse the pun), from the cut to the color (brunette.) I returned to Mark's salon after he'd moved to his current location, from Madison Avenue to 60th Street, where his salon occupies 5-story townhouse. Not only is it a clean, efficient and stylish space, but Mark proved an even more outstanding hairdresser. For the past 2 years, he has been cutting my hair. Never once have I needed a redo. I consistently get compliments. Likewise, Lubya is superb. Again, she gets my color right every time, without making it too dark or reddish (the risk of being a brunette.) She has a light touch when it comes to adding highlights (golden, again never reddish.) I have no interest in the next new big name hairdresser who opens a salon; ditto, a colorist. I'm already a diehard customer of the Mark Garrison Salon. read more

Dear Mr Garrison, I recently called the Salon from Montreal Quebec, to make an appointment for my daughter & I. Veronica the receptionnist who took my call was very helpfull in accomodating my request for a hair cut for myself with you and an up-do for my daughter with Rachel to be scheduled at the same time. When I explained to Veronica the reason reason for our trip to New York, she immediately picked-up that this appointment at your Salon was going to be a special event for mother & daughter. My professional career has been in the tourism industry where service and special attention makes all the difference between a 3 star & 5 star product. Mr Garrison, that difference is based on people. People who love what they do. From my first contact with your Salon, you seem to have acheived the 5 star service level. That is a great start! I can only say that we are both my daughter and I, very anxious to experience your Salon and meet you & your staff A bientot! ***Merci Veronica! Sincerely K.A.Roy read more

I had an appointment this Tuesday with Mark Garrison and although it wasn't my first time there, I have always felt so welcome from the moment I walk into the salon. I grow out and donate my hair so it had been a few years since I had been to the salon and was a little anxious about chopping off more than a foot of hair which had become my security blanket. Going to Mark is what made this process easier. Everyone was so encouraging and made me feel like a rockstar!! Mark did a pre and post cut photo shoot and the cut I got was absolutely phenomenal! I would only trust him to cut my hair because he really know what works for your hair type, facial structure and styles to best complement each person individually. I also had a friend meet me there to give me moral support and when she saw how fantastic they were, she booked an appointment for herself!! If only my hair grew fast enough to not have to wait a few years so that it can be donated, I would have regularly scheduled appointments with Mark! read more

I went to Dina with a Gilt City Balyage deal. It's worth every penny, and I will be returning to her for her services in the future. Dina did an amazing highlighting job. I've been highlighting my hair for 10+ years and I am a natural brunette with a dream to have blonde healthy locks. (Right) My hair was so many different shades when I came in, my roots had had far too long to grow out, and there was a lot of brassiness in my completely blonde hair. Dina was very honest and up front with me to tell me that my hair was in a tough stage and that it might take multiple visits to achieve exactly the look I wanted, bright blond highlights (even all over) with lowlights of my natural color running through. She was wrong. She did such a fantastic job that the color is EXACTLY what we discussed and what I was looking for, and is definitely one of my best highlighting jobs I've had. If someone is looking for an excellent blonde colorist who will work to keep your hair healthy, send them to Dina! read more

I have never written a review on line about anyone but I must dispute MH from Tom's River, NJ who gave Joseph (the colorist) 1 star! I am a perfectionist and have been seeing Joseph for color for over 10 years and I would not think of seeing anyone else, EVER! He is kind, caring, funny, concerned and a top notch colorist who has worked on many celebrity clients as well as regular NYC gals like myself. I have long, straight, light brown hair with honey highlights. I always look natural and elegant and it is due to Joseph's expert hand, aesthetic and talent. I feel lucky that when I need a touch up or a "flash" or just a few highlights here or there that he ALWAYS finds time to fit me in SOMEHOW. He also treats his assistants with great respect and teaches them well and cares more about them being tipped well than himself. So there's my two cents. Keira NYC read more

I decided to donate my hair to Pantene Beautiful Lengths and was told by a friend that this salon was affiliated. So I called and was told that on Wednesdays, they give complimentary haircuts to those donating. I was a little afraid that I'd get an inexperienced stylist since it was free. To my surprise, I was greeted by a high energy, vibrant, inviting and experienced stylist named Raquel. She made me feel comfortable immediately which was necessary since I was almost hyperventalating about cutting off 8 inches of hair (even though I knew it was for a great cause - a girl is allowed to emote). She had similar texture hair as me so understood immediately what I was and was not looking for. She gave me a fabulous cut and I can't wait to go back. This could have been a "miserable" experience. I was hoping for "tolerable". And I got "wonderful". read more

So i don't typically write reviews but I have to let the world know! Edita has changed my hair life! After months of dreaming about dying my hair blonde , I met the perfect colorist . She was so nice and easy to talk to and she understood exactly what I wanted . I went to fox and Jane previously and a hair stylist there told me if I dyed my hair blonde , it would fall off . He also told me I would have to come in about three-four times. Thank god I canceled that appointment because after one session with Edita I had my dream hair. She took her time and was so nice and gave me life advise . By end appointment I felt better mentally and outwardly . Don't hesitate if you want to try a new color...and update my hair is actually still really healthy . I went from dark brown to California blonde ! You won't regret it go see Edita read more

Mark is brilliant. So MANY times I have gone to a salon and at the very beginning things start off well. But after a while I have found both stylist and colorist fatigue-- my color starts getting funky and my hair style seems to loose it's life over time. This is NOT the case at Mark's. I have been going there for two years now and I feel that every time I go, it is as good as the first time. Mark's cuts last a long time and he always listens when I ask him to "keep the length!" In the summer, I had a few blow outs at a NYC outpost for another well known stylist/salon owner out in Bridgehampton. This owner himself ended up blowing my hair and was extremely complimentary of the color and style-- you know it has to be great if the competition takes note!!! Thank you, Mark. You are the best! read more

This is my first review on something ever. I had the best experience at the Mark Garrison Salon today with Dina and Gregory. The service was outstanding and Dina really took time to perfect my color. It's the best it has looked since 2009 in LA, which is hard to do considering I am always trying to get blonder from dying in black and red several years back. It's perfect. Gregory also gave me an impeccable cut that had my hair feel like a 5 year olds. Just silk and bounce. I always appreciate when stylist dont just do something you tell them you want, when they don't feel will look good. Which gave me confidence to get my hair a little shorter. Worth the money and time spent, will definitely be back. read more

I have been going here for years to get my hair colored. They have always done a great job. I go there because Shari is great even though the salon costs a lot. I never really minded because I felt that I was getting great service. I hadn't been there for a few months, and this time when I sat down I noticed a sign saying that they were charging $30 for a blow dry. This was always done complementary. I find it very annoying to pay the same price for a service and now receive less. Why do I need to go to a high end salon and get less service than I would at my corner John Louis David. I'm going to have to think twice before I go back. Why spend twice the price for half the service. read more

Early in the pandemic, I decided I would grow my hair out to donate and was looking for a salon that participated in hair donations in Ny. I came across Mark Garrison Salon, who works with Divine Hair Donations and create Power Caps with the donated hair. Sanae did an incredible job ensuring that the hair met the needed criteria for donation and styled my hair exactly as I wanted. I would highly recommend Sanae as a stylist and Mark Garrison as a top level salon for their cleanliness, welcoming environment, and philanthropic efforts. Thank you Mark Garrison Salon for providing such an amazing program!! read more

Absolutely blown away. Incredible service and over the top kind and considerate stylists…read more Chris Cilione knocked it out of the park and gave me the perfect coloured highlights that I couldn't have even have imagined up. The color is better than I pictured and the process was SO SHORT. I felt very taken care of and he was so kind and welcoming. Diana washed and conditioned my hair and was so careful and thorough! I really appreciated that she took her time and took care of my hair/scalp so wonderfully! Tesfa killed it with the curling of my hair. I was complimented ALL DAY- her hair styling absolutely floored me. Seriously, she will style you RIGHT. Thank you so much to this team and for such a wonderful experience. 11/10. Easily.

Where do I begin?! What a delightful, beautiful experience. This was today, returning to this…read morebeautiful, Caring, probably the best Salon in the country certainly in the city. First of all, I know everybody affiliated with this Salon is excellent so I'm going to just tell you about the two typist I had today and again they are all absolutely amazing and so talented. Nicole did my coloring and she knew exactly what I needed done before I even explained in my consultation with her and she did exactly as she promised and I think she thinks even better ha ha! I came in with oxidized gold RG hair and walked out with the most delightful, neutral, beige, exactly what I wanted and it's still at the shiny gold highlights without having it highlighted, in the sun, and even in the dressing room, I noticed it under the lights so it still had that sprinkle of golden blonde as if I was at the beach, but it was beige and just nice and subdued, which is exactly what I wanted. I upgraded to the color choice that contained a whole lot of oils so that your hair will not dry. I'm so happy I did it and it's so worth it and the toner also was at the same company. I'm not sure if it's appropriate for me to post it but you could always call The salon and ask for the name of it if it's something you're interested in having done. Thomas and Ross are still there. I had so many years ago for 20 years! I'm telling you they are all amazing and you will never be disappointed! I was so happy to see Tom but Ross wasn't in today or at least not when I was there. Just wanted to say hello. I then had a haircut by Cameron and I gave him 100% weight to cut it anyway he wanted it as it was below my shoulder, dried out, frizzy, shedding, out of shape past five or six months due to an accident I had and therefore could not attend any Salon. I didn't want him to save any bad hair just to cut it all off! He found a way to keep a little bit of length down to the bottom of my neck, which was ideal for me and he layered gently any hair that was higher than neck length to take off all the damaged hair. I thought it would take three visits months apart and yet he did it all in one visit by just gently layering and of course, cutting off several inches of the bad hair, which I knew I needed done immediately today! Both stylist did an amazing job and both had the most beautiful personalities. And of course, there's the Manager, Vassilio, and I apologize and I will correct the spelling as soon as I see her again! I looked up the directory for over a half hour so I did try to get it correct! Anyway, she is lovely on the telephone and so helpful and just beautiful in person, inside out! The whole entire experience was such such a joy and I had an accident about a year ago and looked forward to this day all year long. It was one of my happiest days in a long time so thank you John Barrett Salon, and those I mentioned and the lovely people I met in passing and the people I knew from a few years back. It's a fairly long review, but I hope it could help some people make a decision and it shouldn't be difficult to know that a salon that was at Bergdorf Goodman all these years, has to be at top Salon! Not exactly brain science. I was thinking all along to take photographs and then I forgot! Wish I had especially with the team after my hair was completely done! Next time! BARBARA TODRES------

Haim Hazan is an amazing blond hair colorist!!! He's also a very friendly and generous person. :)…read more It was months into COVID times (End of August) and my usual hairstylist had left the city. I was sooo desperate to have my roots fixed and hair trimmed before going on a trip, but going to a new salon as a blonde can be daunting. I booked very last minute and was able to get an appointment within a few days which was awesome. I felt comfortable in the salon with the extra precautions in place for COVID (Only 1 other client and stylist were present in the salon). Once there, Haim knew exactly what needed to be done to my hair. I ended up getting a full foil and trim, and it was a relatively quick experience compared to other salons. My hair felt so soft, fluffy and healthy after, and it stayed like that for a few days. Haim told me that he uses only top-shelf products and I could definitely tell. I am still so happy with the results! It's been about 1 month since I came to Lifestyle Salon and my roots are growing out in a way that is a lot less noticeable than some past experiences I've had with other blond colorists. As someone who has gone to numerous salons across the country- you can tell when someone has experience like Haim and really knows what they're doing. I'm grateful to Haim for doing such a good job with my hair and I look forward to coming back again!

Haim was my hairdresser for years, until I moved to the West coast. NOBODY comes close to him and…read moreevery time I'm in NYC I make it a point to come get my hair done, and I leave feeling like a million dollars!

I had the formula written down- and it was pretty basic. Well the woman screwed up my formula and my roots were so much darker! If I wasn't leaving the next day, would have of course gone back. Had to go to another salon when I did get back for a color correction- which is wildly expensive. If you can't follow a simple formula when I literally hand it to you on a piece of paper- not sure what else to say :(

A GEM OF A COIFFURE TUCKED ATOP FIFTH AVENUE:…read more I came across the SCK Salon during this summer. It's a little beauty gem tucked away on Fifth Avenue close to Saks. The salon interior is lovely and an experience in of itself: a pristine white loft on the fourth floor. It's well-designed, minimalist and sun kissed, making for a bright and lovely experience. The salon staff are efficient and so pleasant making the overall experience a boost to your day. I had a single process (with Tam) and cut (with Chen). Both were done professionally. Tam is such a pleasant and kind coiffure. Chen does an amazing blow dry and is a very talented hairdresser. He does good haircuts too. I cannot recommend both of them enough after the pleasant experience I had, right down to the thoughtfully prepared cappuccino and biscotti for their clients. The one thing that places this salon in my favourites list is the fact that they use Kerastase products which are really so agreeable with my hair type and have been a product that I have used since my 20's at hairdressers around the world. The Kerstase shampoos and conditioners brought back such nice and happy memories ... The prices range from USD 165-200 dollars for a single process. About USD 155- 258 dollars for a cut and USD 67-150 dollars for a blow dry. The only thing I would change or ask more of at this salon would be music, music, MUSIC! It's always great to have some tunes playing in the background as you get pretty or prettier, as the case maybe. Enjoy your time at Salon SCK. It's a dream to have your hair in their good hands.

She started to dry my hair she was pulling and burning my scalp. This place they have no customers service manners. The woman where you get the apron was so unfriendly and miserable looking. I should have left from the beginning. But I wanted not to judge them without giving them a chance. But boy was I wrong!! Will be never returning.
