I went here as a hair model for a long layered haircut and I had a great experience. Sofia did an…read moreamazing job and she was very detailed with my haircut. She really listened to what I was looking for and even was willing to make a few adjustments after she had dried my hair. Everything from the washing of my hair, which was very relaxing to the gorgeous blowout she gave me was phenomenal. The only downside of the experience is that it does take a while because there is some waiting for the instructor to give feedback ( i.e. I was in there from 9 AM to 12 PM for my haircut) but Sophia was so easy to talk to the time flew by. I can tell all the students really take their time with haircuts and I would come back again!

I met an apprentice Jessie who agreed to do either relaxing or highlights. She set up an appt for a Sat a week away. I decided to go with highlights and lowlights. She did full head, which took around 3 hours, and did an amazing job. She was very helpful in picking out colors and pretty much doing exactly what I wanted. And she was great to talk to as well. I don't think I could have asked for more even if I was paying. However, this was free too! This was an absolutely fantastic experience for me! I hope they'll want to use me again in the future (another apprentice offered to cut my hair soon).

I am originally from Georgia and there Toni and Guy is more prevalent. When I was in high school I…read moreused to do the model exchange program and always had the most "in" haircuts -- ie faux hawks, a-symmetrical...all sorts of colors..etc. When I moved up here I grew my hair out and became plain Jane. When I wanted to get a fresh new shorter cut I was surprised to see that there aren't any Toni and Guys in NYC -- but I found the Tigi Academy...and found CHRISTOPHER. I already trust the Toni and Guy/Tigi family -- because they are always on top of the latest trends. I did not do the model exchange -- I wanted to pay for an amazing haircut and have an amazing experience. That, I did. Not only is the Academy in a really cool and ritzy party of town - with a great view - But it was clean, modern and every single person there was friendly to me. I am always nervous about paying a good chunk of change for a haircut -- but wellll worth it! The first time around Christopher cut 9 inches off and he made me feel confident and he took control and I loved the result. It was cute right then, and was cute when it grew out. I've already gone back for a second cut. He's my man!

And she hang up the phone on me. This type of behavior is unacceptable and very disrespectful!
