I appreciated the knowledge and skills of both the colorist and haircut staff. They listened to my needs and worked to come up with a professional look. The final look was wonderful. read more

10/10 experience. Victoria did my color and Vanessa did my cut and style. My hair feels SO healthy, the best I've ever experienced with a stylist. The color is everything I could ask for, Victoria is the girl to go to if you're ready for your dream hair. I've gotten so much attention/so many questions about my hair since getting my hair done. They served coffee, tea, Diet Pepsi, and wine as you can see in the picture. The experience was super professional/friendly/fun. Loved chit chatting with both of these girls. As you can see-Vanessa's blowout and cut is absolutely beautiful and matched my inspo pic perfectly. She also helped me pick out a heat protectant/leave in conditioner from the salon and it smells so good I love it-and a great price for an item I use daily!! read more

I love love love this place. I've been coming here for a decade and every time its an amazing experience, great service, incredible hair cuts and color. In the past decade everything has changed in my life but this salon has been a mainstay and I'm not leaving ever. The stylists and colorists work magic, my hair looks so spectacular, every time i come i leave feeling completely reinvigorated and fabulous and need to go out on the town to celebrate life. They're also amazingly nice people and the relationships I've built over the years are closer to friendships than just client service. Jen the colorist is a magician, i don't know how she does it but i only do my color twice a year and my greys are covered and it looks amazing growing out. Truly an artist!!! final note, it's in soho and has a really cool soho vibe and decor, and incredible products, clean and green and super fab!!!! Thank you thank you thank you :) read more

I'm really disappointed with the experience I've been having at this salon recently. I've been a loyal client for the past 2.5 years, regularly visiting every 3-4 weeks for a single-process hair color. The entire service typically takes 1.5 to 2 hours and includes: * Root touch-up (20 minutes) * Color processing (40 minutes) * Hair wash (10 minutes) * Gloss application (20 minutes) * Second wash and conditioning (15 minutes) * Air dry (15 minutes) I always book my appointments with stylist Mimi, who charges $142 (plus tax) for a single-process color. Naturally, when I pay that amount for a specific stylist, I expect her to carry out the entire service. However, Mimi only applies the color and then hands me off to a trainee--often a very young, inexperienced assistant. Meanwhile, she moves on to other clients within 45 mins. I initially stayed quiet out of politeness, but over time it became clear that the quality of service from the trainees was lacking. It made me question why I was paying a senior stylist rate if most of the work was being done by someone without experience. Eventually, I voiced my concerns to the front desk, asking that my stylist perform the entire service going forward. They apologized and assured me that a note had been made. For the next two appointments, Mimi did complete the process from start to finish, and I appreciated that. However, during my third visit, she once again colored my hair and then left me with a trainee after 45 minutes to tend to another client. I refused to continue under those conditions. If the full service is known to take up to two hours, why would another client be booked during my scheduled time? When I told front desk about it they requested Mimi to complete the process, after washing my hair she had the audacity to say "I have another client so I won't be able to air dry your hair. If you want you can do it yourself." And this is not just my stylist doing it. All other stylists are doing the same thing as my sister who's been visiting the salon for a really long time faces the same issue with other stylists. It's not acceptable to charge clients a premium price for a senior stylist while handing off most of the work to trainees--especially without asking for consent. I'm not opposed to salons training new talent, but clients should be asked first and given the option to decline. Simply informing me that "she'll finish the rest" is not respectful of my time or money. read more

I've been going to Sam Brocato for a few years now and have been seeing the same hair colorist Ashley Moore! Only great things to say, I could write an entire essay on it but here are a few 1) The salon itself is always clean and everyone is so friendly and kind. I don't feel intimidated or like I'm not cool enough to be there (which can DEFINITELY happen at certain downtown hair salons, and something I've experienced before coming here!) 2) Ashley is so talented and great at what she does. I feel so much better whenever I leave her chair because I know my hair looks good and it's also healthy. She gives you the right color and maintains hair integrity. Also she sets your hair up for success so it will grow out nicely which I appreciate as someone who gets blonde highlights and has dark roots. 3) If you wfh, they are also super down and accommodating so you can clack away on your laptop and get your hair done. and lastly, GO TO ASHLEY (ESPECIALLY IF YOU'RE BLONDE!!) read more

My favorite hair experience ever! I had color with Diana and a cut by Sam- they took a lot of time to understand what I wanted and I finally got both the cut and color I've been trying to get for years. It is probably the best haircut I've ever had. the salon itself is unique-it's very low key, very relaxed and comfortable and everyone is incredibly friendly. I'm incredibly impressed and can't wait to go back. read more

This is a fabulous salon and one of my favorites. I always have the best color when leaving. I highly recommend.

I was introduced to Damien by my boyfriend (who was introduced by 3 of his friends who also go to Damien, lol) and we love him soooo much. I used to get anxious before haircuts because I was always uncertain if I'd get what I wanted or if I'd be happy when I left, but now I'm so excited when it's time for a cut! The first time I went to Damien I wanted layers with curtain bangs, and he gave me a really beautiful cut - posted pictures for reference :) I've been to him a few times now and I trust him to give me a perfect cut every time I go. I think If Damien moved I would have to follow him because I've been wanting a reliable hair stylist for forever and I'm so glad I finally found him!!! Also, the salon is super relaxing and has a great atmosphere. I met the people who own it last time I was there and they're super, super nice as well. Overall I love this place! read more

I had a last minute trip to NYC and B Baccarella was so accommodating and got me in for a haircut with very little notice. She was my stylist in LA so it was wonderful to be able to see her again. She is a superstar stylist and the only person I've ever truly trusted to do whatever she thinks is best with my hair. Go see her! read more

I have gone to this to this Salon for over two years now and I can not speak more highly of their services. The salon itself has a beautiful aesthetic and the staff is always so kind. I appreciate that every time I go they bring me a tea and make me feel so excited for my hair transformation. I had my hair colored by the lovely Jade and she perfectly matched my Inspo picture to my hair. She has colored my hair from a deep brown to a firey red and then to a golden brown and she just nails it every time. The amount of dedication and precision with each step of the process really made me know I was in good hands. I cant recommend her enough. If you want to feel amazing and add some beautiful depth into your hair. 100% ask for jade. read more

I've been getting my hair done by stylist-turned-colorist Jade Medina for over 10 years. Despite moving across boroughs, states, and even countries, I have yet to find a better hairstylist or colorist. Every appointment leaves my hair healthier than before- and the blonde is on point. Highly recommend! read more

This review is long overdue. I have been seeing Pauline for my hair for a while and she is a fantastic stylist! She listens for what you are looking for and also has given amazing recommendations. I cannot recommend her more! read more

Received a fantastic cut & cool with Master Stylists & Colorists Mark and John James. We started with John looking at my hair carefully & critically & pronouncing, "Well, I love the whole thing. The color. The cut. You're here for what? A little extra inspiration? Exactly! And that's what I got--sensational, subtle color, and precise, sharp cut. Everything at this salon is pleasant--the hip location, the clean interior, the entire staff. You can't go wrong. read more

Got a full highlight from Victoria Melton, and couldn't recommend her more (especially for my blonde friends)!! She got my shade of blonde exactly right. So bright, but so natural. She also was incredibly careful to keep the integrity of my hair. I left with my dream hair. Bright, blonde, and still super healthy. read more

DIANA!! Where to begin! HAIR TRANSFORMATION! The woman is a miracle worker. This is the first time I've ever written a yelp review...Diana managed to give me the exact color I have been wanting for YEARS! She somehow created the most perfectly subtle/blended warm (and somehow still the right amount of ashey!) blonde highlight that I didn't even think was possible with my shade of dark brown hair....not only that, but she managed to achieve my dream color when I had walked in that same day with the brassiest, most uneven, patchy base (I am getting married in 4 months and made the mistake of letting a friend box dye my hair with drugstore products). Not only did Diana agree to see me the day that I walked in, but she managed to do so at 7pm and continued to patiently and thoroughly work through my hair until the salon was literally empty and locked up. I have never been so happy with my hair - she somehow turned what was a disaster into the most idyllic, gorgeous blondeish brown. Never going to another colorist every again. THANK YOU DIANA!!!! read more

Diana BAKSH is my hair dresser and has been for the last 15 years. I first met Diana at another salon BEFORE I had even moved to New York. I have always had short hair styled in a pixie. Each time I came to NY I would look at women and their haircuts. Finally, I found a lovely woman with exactly what I needed and asked here where she got it cut. That was 15 years ago. Over the 15 years we have become dear friends. She can cut and style short hair perfectly, which in my opinion is the most difficult. In short haircuts any mistake shows. In fact, even a small mistake will jump out at you. This is what she has perfected and I never worry about how my hair will look. She is, quite frankly, the best. Her other strong suit is color. She has the unique ability to make the color you choose look as if you were born with it. Her eye for color is unbeatable. Diana BAKSH considers herself to be an artist and I could not agree more. read more

Fantastic cut and color. I was SO impressed with the care Sam gave to my haircut. I went from too long and boring to shorter and much more stylish. Michelle was fabulous with color and tone. Couldn't be happier. read more

Need stellar highlights and an awesome curly cut? Ask for Victoria (color) and Cristie (cut). They are so talented and kind and I am so happy I am able to see them both at Sam Brocato. It's an incredibly welcoming and warm space and I couldn't recommend it more. read more

Leah did my extensions last year before a trip I had planned to Australia. I was nervous about such a big change, but once I met with Leah, my nerves turned only to excitement! She walked me through the process and what to expect in our consultation and thoroughly (and patiently!) answered all of my questions. She was able to make room for me in her busy schedule to do the application right before my trip and I am so happy we were able to, because I absolutely adored the result!! She is truly an artist (magician!) and completely transformed me into having the hair of my dreams! I will most certainly be retuning to her for my next venture into long hair! (Also: a big plus, we had so much fun talking the entire time while the extensions were being put in! This is extra fab when the application process can be a lengthy one. But worth every minute, and Leah makes the time fly!! read more

The salon itself is great: friendly front desk staff and lovely ambiance. I booked an appointment for a $120 haircut hoping to get a bouncy bob tailored to my hair density and my face shape. The stylist, after asking me a couple of questions, just did a quick blunt cut, which looked ok right after the appointment: voluminous and bouncy. However, as I washed and styled my hair at home, I realized that there was no volume on the crown and my hair just looked flat while flaring out at the bottom. Had to go to a different place the following week to fix it. Hoping for a better experience in the future. read more

Have been coming here for 6+ years and absolutely love this place and all the people. A little luxury: they give you a quick, relaxing shoulder massage before shampoo! For haircuts, PENELOPE IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST. She has handled my hair through all different lengths and phases. Wouldn't trust anyone else to do a big chop like I did one spring to donate my hair and try out a "lob" for the first time. Penelope also taught me how to do a wave in my very straight hair which usually never holds a curl! Could not recommend more! read more

Prior to meeting B. at SBS getting haircuts was always nerve racking as I never knew what I was going to get. B. has cut my hair for close to 5 years now and its always been an amazing experience. She cuts my hair exactly to the way I ask, never rushed and always making a concerted effort to be perfect. If you're in the need of a great hair stylist I would highly recommend B. read more

Just had a phenomenal hair color experience! I booked as a model with Jinks, who is a fantastic color apprentice. She's training under Michelle, who is an excellent colorist and educator. Jinks really listened to what I wanted, consulted with Michelle and the result is an incredibly rich color with so much depth and highlights. I'm getting compliments on the color every day, even from strangers. Jinks and Michelle are the best! The salon is beautiful, and the experience is so relaxing. Everyone is very attentive, always making sure that I'm comfortable. They have great coffee- a must in a top salon! Go to Sam Brocato- and incredible salon! read more

If you want the best haircut of your life, go to Sam Brocato and ask for JADE. She is by far the best hair stylist I've ever had. I tried so many salons when I first moved to the city 8 years ago, and none compare to Sam Brocato. Jade helped me achieve all of my hair goals that I hadn't been able to do prior to meeting her - she helped me get my hair long and healthy, and when I had bangs, styled them to perfection, which is never easy! In addition to her outstanding skill, she is an absolutely lovely person to know and I always enjoy my conversations with her. Jade all the way. read more

One of the best haircuts I have ever had! B is a true professional! Overall a great experience!

John James Lichioveri has been cutting my hair for 30 years. He is not only extremely skilled at cutting and stying, but he is also one of the nicest people I know - and that means a lot. The salon itself is very professionally and courteously run - you are made to feel very special. read more

Cristie is the best! She is an expert in curly cuts and an absolute sweetheart. She gives me a perfect curly bang and shag cut every time. I've had my hair cut by her 3 times thus far and will continue to use her as my stylist. The salon is lovely. The staff is friendly and efficient. The booking process is easy. Their line of haircare products are great. read more

My new staple hair salon in NYC! I went to Mimi for color and Christie for a cut on hair that needed major correction... Mimi was so thoughtful about the coloring and the result was beautiful!

Jennifer is the best colorist I've been to. She's friendly and my hair always looks amazing. The best thing is that as my hair grows the color still looks good. Highly recommend having her color your hair. I only have been seeing her and going to this salon for years. read more

Best salon in NYC! I've been seeing Jen for color for over 10+ years and she is a true talent! I get so many compliments on my color and how beautifully natural it looks.

The best salon in the best area Go get your color done with Jade - you will NOT regret it. I'm obsessed with the blonde highlights I got!!

the best salon I have ever been to. The atmosphere here is so calming and inviting. The staff are all absolutely incredible. If you are looking for a colorist who can do ANYTHING you have to book an appointment with Michelle- she's the BEST!!! read more

I have been going to the salon since Covid. My hairdresser had retired and a friend recommended the salon and Yasue for the cut (who is fantastic)! I researched yelp for a colorist. I'm a dark brunette and saw a Yelp review mentioning Michelle was great for blondes and brunettes. She's amazing!! She was able to match my color perfectly! In the last year she has lightened my very dark hair to lighter brown and added in highlights. She is an excellent colorist and amazingly patient taking me through this process and listening to what I would like and giving recommendations. She's worked wonders and it looks great. The best! The salon is serene and welcoming. The front desk is super friendly and great with scheduling. Special shout out to Allyson. I've always hated going to the hairdresser and now I love coming here. read more

I cannot say enough amazing things about Michelle! She has been doing my hair for 7 years and all my friends now go to her, because she is truly the best colorist and person. She takes her time to make sure it is done just "perfectly." She also does my highlights so naturally that I never have roots. After not doing my hair for 6 months because of the pandemic, my hair still looked natural and people thought it was still my natural color which grew out beautifully. She also makes sure to keep your hair healthy, even with blonde hair it's strong and shiny and I typically color it every three months. Michelle is such a pleasure, so sweet has the best personality to boot. Once you go to her you will never need another hair stylist! 10000% recommend! read more
