I have been going to Marla for at least 3 years now and for good reason! She is one of the most…read moreexperienced and talented hair stylists I have ever met and she works with you to achieve your envisioned look. Marla is very dedicated and spends a ton of time and attention during each of her appointments and is knowledgeable on a lot of hair techniques that I knew nothing about! Before coming to Marla I had never had my hair dyed before but she made the process so easy and we were able to transition to fun colors over the years such as purple, magenta, pinks and oranges! I have never left disappointed from Marla and I will not trust my hair with anyone else. You're paying for quality and experience when you go to her and she knows exactly how to handle different styles of hair, and will talk with you about suggestions and alternatives in the case that something might be better. Absolutely love Marla and her bubbly personality - super passionate hair stylist who is exceptional at what she does and it definitely shows in what she does! I'll be coming back here until (and if) I ever move out of the north east area!

My daughters, however, have textured hair and I wanted to treat one of my daughters to a cut from Marla because she is going on a very special trip and I wanted her to feel beautiful. Marla does not disappoint. I have included a picture of my daughter before her cut, sitting in the chair, and after the cut. I wanted her to feel beautiful & the new cut is helping her to feel that way.

Jan got me started on pedi & mani with diligent young lady- was great! By 1:12pm Jan was finally ready to cut my hair after shampooing, $15 eyebrow wax that she talked me into, & finally voila, a $55 10-min haircut with no layers nor shape. I asked for side bangs 3 times & each time was met with resistance. "I don't want to cut too short" I gave up after the third ask. Conversation was also intrusive - where do you live? What's your job? What's your ethnicity? This is supposed to be a relaxing experience, not an interrogation. Total bill $145. Will not be going back for sure.

I cannot recommend Ania Hair Studio enough! From the moment I walked in, the woman at the front…read moredesk was super nice and accommodating. I went in to dye my hair from natural brown with bleached ends to a rich, dark black. Cherri did a terrific job with the initial dye, but once I stepped out into the sunlight, I noticed the ends (where the blonde was) were looking significantly richer black than the rest of my hair(more mocha brown). I'm usually not one to complain and felt nervous calling back, but the front desk immediately put my anxiety at ease and made sure I knew they were happy to fix it. Cherri fit me into her busy schedule just a couple of hours later to apply another layer of black dye. The final result was a seamless, completely uniform black, and I was so thrilled! To top it off, Paige helped out and did an excellent job curling my hair. I am so relieved, grateful, and beyond happy with my hair. If you want a studio that truly cares about their clients and stands by their work, this is the place!

I had color, 2/3 highlights, and a cut with Kristina who I was told was a Level 3 stylist. Kristina was very nice and she tried to deliver. But my bill came to $422!! I have never, EVER paid that much and been SO disappointed in my hair!!! I can't really see the highlights and it is much too short. The result I received was definitely not worth that amount of money!! I am so disappointed!!!

As soon as I hung up the phone, I received an email confirming the appointment with a click to sync it to my calendar. I received 2 more text messages reminding me of the appointment, the week before and a few days before. I felt like they knew we already. I arrive ontime and Nicole was finishing up a hair consultation. My wait was less than 5 minutes. During my wait, I took in the atmosphere. Clean, Comfortable and with neo-soul playing. It felt like there should be a speak easy in the back room. I was not prepared. I didn't know what hair style I wanted. I explained my habits and desires. Nicole brainstormed with me until we found something that felt right. It was a true hair consultation. Now that she understood my goals, I told her to do whatever she thought was best. I had no idea what color or cut I was going to come out with. But, as I requested she gave me something, professional, colorful and low - maintence. The color was much more than I have ever achieved with SoftSheen-Carson. This was professional! My split ends was gone, dry hair-is now moist, layers and precision describes my blunt cut. But most of all the up keep is easy. I will be going back. This was worth every penny.

Beauty comes from inside. Inside Christopher Brian Salon…read more Love is in the hair at CBS, and I'm hair for it. Its fearless leader and his team of stylists play with scissors for the shear fun of it, and are the ride-or-dyes you and your hair have been looking for. Nestled into the ground floor of Troy's beautiful Proctor's Theater building on 4th Street, with its highly decorative front facade of brick and marble covered in glazed terra-cotta, it's no surprise to discover that the salon's insides match its outsides. The interior is seriously sophisticated, with light and dark grey walls serving as the perfect contrast against the large floor-to-ceiling windows and big, beautiful green plants that call the bright window seats home. The main floor is a neat little grid of beautiful styling stations, and mirrors, plenty of mirrors - even full wall-length mirrors - except instead of feeling like you're trapped in a funhouse, you're lost at Barney's, and loving it. A fun feature I really loved: each stylist's station is equipped with a mini Husky or Stanley branded tool chest on wheels, including a massive tool chest at the makeup bar. So like, not only does it add a cool masculine feel to the chic space, but I love the message that sends to clients, like, "Yeah, we work with tools, too!" Nice flex, guys. The best seat in the house, however, is in Christopher Brian's chair. Sure, he has a slew of super talented hairstylists working with him, but Christopher Brian speaks hair; English is his second language, and I've never had a bad hair day with him. Facts. Christopher works incredibly fast yet extremely precise, and with the eye and talent of a professional who's been behind the scenes at NYFW. I've long been privy to his next-level hair skills, and I'm incredibly happy to be back in his chair once again. He works in every color of the color wheel, but he's a self proclaimed Blonde Lover/Expert/God, and those are my people, so hair I am! I would behoove anyone with a scalp, and a pulse, to visit Christopher Brian Salon, sink into a luxe chair, and let one of its awesome stylists give you the change you're seeking! In a sea of talented professionals in the Capital Region hair game, Christopher Brian and his team are definitely top-tier!
