I met Jada after a few years of a bit…read moreof colorist hopping which meant she had A LOT of different shades/growth to blend together - and boy DID SHE! She did such a fantastic job I haven't let anyone else color my hair since! She always does an excellent job nailing a vibrant and long-lasting (ammonia-free) red that ALWAYS gets compliments...even as it fades and all I can see in the mirror are my roots - I'm STILL getting compliments on the color! Jada instantly impressed me from the start with her great care to detail (less dye-stains on your forehead & every little whisp of hair COVERED!) but - even better over 9 years in....I truly feel like I've found a friend! I love coming in and catching up on the myriad of topics we've covered in our lives through the years. She's a keeper - so go meet her! p.s. this is more a review for Jada specifically but the salon itself is clean and sleek (I've enjoyed the photography/art on the walls as I chill with my head in the sinks!) - and all are more than welcoming and kind inside!

Since her salon is small, I had more attention on me than I've experienced in the past with some of the bigger/popular salons. Liz's curated vibe is impeccable. Book with her ASAP!

Extremely Disappointing and Traumatic Experience…read more I booked an appointment at Antonio Prieto Salon after seeing an ad specifically stating they were seeking hair models and said curly-haired models are welcomed. As a Black woman with type 4 hair, I felt encouraged and hopeful that the salon would be inclusive and capable of working with my texture. Unfortunately, my experience was the exact opposite. There was no consultation prior to my appointment. When I arrived, the stylist didn't tell me that she had never worked with Afro-textured hair. I had to ask her when she seemed to look confused when touching my hair. Despite this, I tried to remain open-minded since the ad stated a master stylist would be shadowing her. However, red flags began quickly. She attempted to cut my hair without washing it first--something that simply doesn't work for coily hair types. I had to advocate for myself and ask that she wash it so she could actually see my curl pattern. The wash itself was careless. She barely touched my scalp, avoided any real contact, and didn't detangle my hair at the bowl--another essential step that was neglected. Once in the chair, another team member joined, and both appeared completely untrained in handling my hair. They began detangling my dry hair, which is damaging and deeply inappropriate for textured hair. Eventually, Antonio Prieto himself stepped in. Instead of taking accountability or offering a solution, he admitted he and his team were not experienced in working with hair like mine. Shockingly, he handed me a dirty paddle brush and told me to detangle my own hair. He then proceeded to make passive-aggressive comments--complimenting my hair, but also saying he wouldn't give me a proper cut because I "didn't say what I wanted" (despite me clearly stating I was open to the cut they deemed best). He added that if it were up to him, he would have charged me $1000 for the service rather than the $60 model rate--an unnecessary and humiliating comment. The haircut I received was uneven and careless. They didn't style my hair as promised. Instead, they applied some leave-in conditioner and left me to fend for myself, without so much as a goodbye or acknowledgement. Even though I expressed my deep disappointment, I paid and left simply to avoid further discomfort. This entire ordeal could have been avoided if the stylist--or the salon--had communicated upfront that they lacked experience with Afro-textured hair. Instead, I was subjected to ignorance, poor treatment, and microaggressions that left me feeling embarrassed, disrespected, and dehumanized. To be clear: Afro hair is curly hair. If you're seeking curly-haired models but only mean loose waves or looser curl patterns, say that. Don't mislead people into vulnerable situations where they're forced to defend their existence in your chair.

I hate posting bad reviews, but I had such a terrible experience at this salon. I found Julian on…read moreSalonapprentice, who claimed to be interviewing for a full time position at the salon. I've been a hair model at top salons around Manhattan for 15 years, and job interviews and final apprenticeship presentations are always my favorites. We had a call the day before where we discussed the cut - taking weight out in the back and creative movement with layers, trimming the ends but not removing more than a couple inches in length because I was getting married a few weeks later. I agreed to the $60 fee (cash only), providing my credit card details over the phone so that I would be charged if I flaked, because Julian claimed to have extensive experience AND promised a swag bag of styling tools and products worth $100. Long story short, it took Julian 3 hours to do a simple long layers cut (not including styling, which I skipped) and it was way shorter than we had agreed upon. Antonio was present but uninvolved, except when Julian noticed that he had cut one side much shorter than the other and Antonio told him to cut the other side to match and that his technique was incorrect. Despite billing himself as a "TOP STYLIST" Julian said he'd only started cutting hair a year and a half ago. Similarly, the gift bag wasn't available "because the brand rep hadn't dropped it off yet", and after I followed up a couple times he finally said he had it for me, to be picked up on a street corner rather than the salon. The worst part, though, was that at no point did either of them ask me what I thought of the cut or acknowledge that it wasn't what we had agreed on. I guess I'm fortunate that I made it 32 years before a traumatic haircut experience (perks of having medium density, silky straight hair!), but I certainly won't be back to this salon. **Edited 8/17 to remove description of swag bag contents**

After being a client of Suite Reyad for over four to five years, I have never experienced such…read moredismissive and unprofessional treatment from a business that presents itself as a luxury salon. I traveled over three hours from Port Jefferson into Manhattan for a 4:30 PM appointment. I arrived at approximately 4:50 PM, only to be told that the stylist had already left because the staff "assumed I wasn't coming." What is unbelievable is that no one from the salon attempted to call or text to check whether I was on my way something that would have taken seconds and could have easily prevented this situation. Instead, the woman at the front desk simply informed me the stylist had left and that there were "no rules" for accommodating me. The delivery was dry, dismissive, and completely lacking any sense of hospitality. There was no apology, no attempt to contact the stylist, no effort to help resolve the situation, and not even the basic courtesy of offering water or coffee after I had just spent hours traveling to the city. When I spoke to the owner about what happened, rather than acknowledging that a simple courtesy call could have prevented the situation, he repeatedly brought up that I had canceled appointments in the past "nine times," which he mentioned over and over as if that somehow justified the complete lack of communication or professionalism in this situation. I made it clear that those appointments had been canceled, not no-shows, which is a completely different thing. Yet he continued repeating the number as if lecturing a customer who had supported the salon for years. At one point he even said he could charge me immediately for those nine cancellations if I wanted to "play that game," which was astonishing to hear from a business owner speaking to a client who had been coming there for years and consistently tipping generously. For a salon operating inside The Pierre Hotel and presenting itself as a high-end luxury experience, the complete absence of accountability, hospitality, or even basic courtesy was shocking. The entire interaction made it very clear that once a client becomes inconvenient to their schedule, loyalty and long-term support mean absolutely nothing. After five years as a client and hours spent traveling for this appointment, the dismissive attitude from both the front desk and the owner made it clear that this is not a business that values the people who support it. I will not be returning.
