I've never gotten a haircut here because Studio 17 does wonders for me and if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

As for the experiences I have had here, both were unsatisfactory.

When I got highlights I came in with some that I needed redone the same color. The stylist assured me she would do them in the same color but they came out two or three shades lighter.

A while later I decided to give Salon X another shot, out of convenience, since it's a short walk away. I booked with someone I saw who had good reviews on Kannekt. On appointment day--surprise!--she's not here. They had plenty of time to call me and notify me that she wouldn't be there but they didn't. But I talked to the woman who was there and she seemed like she knew what I wanted so I went along with it. The color she gave me was fine although again it did not turn out as expected (given the hair sample in the book), and it also faded into a really bad color.

Both times it cost me at or around $200 with tip. And I'm never going back. (I now go to BangZ in Hoboken for my color processes--it's still somewhat expensive but Sherri does it RIGHT.) Both times it took WAYYY longer than it's ever taken me for these processes.

I see a lot of "you get what you paid for"s here but what you get from Salon X is coffee and a pretty room to sit in for two or three hours.
