After recently relocating to the New York area, I soon realized that one of the most difficult tasks involved with my move was going to be finding a new colorist to revitalize my over-processed hair. Luckily, after a few unsuccessful trials, I discovered the best hair colorist I have ever come across (in NYC or elsewhere). His name is Michael Canale and I would never consider entrusting my hair t...
Michael and his team are highly professional and deliver what they promise. I have had the pleasure of having my hair highlighted by NYs best and always felt great when I left the salon. About 8 wks later my dark blond (clearly I am not willing to admit that my color has darkened since age 16) hair needed to be highlighted again. I tried a wonderful colorist in Philadelphia who made me look great...
FYI ladies -- every review is glowing! Disregard "nightmare experience" because i was sitting in Michael's chair and witnessed the whole thing. This woman was a very indecisive client. Michael gave her ample time(at least 30 minutes) to flip through some mags and come up with some idea of what she wanted. She had a very needy energy that required let's just say.."remedial hair consulting/psy...
MICHAEL IS WONDERFUL. I have been a client for about 10 years, going to both his DC and Los Angeles locations. He is one of the most hardworking, earnest, caring and cool guys around -- and he genuinely knows his clients -- remembering children, events, confidences. He is also one of the most hard-working professionals around -- traveling between salons in Rancho Santa Fe, Los Angeles, New Yor...
Michael colored my hair for years when i lived in washington, d.c., and it always looked amazing. at the end of the 90's, i moved back to my home state, and bounced around to various people--never with the same results. when i moved to ny 3 years ago, i was so happy to start seeing michael again! i can't tell you the amount of compliments i get on my hair.
as for the person that was dissa...
If you want the most natural head of highlighted hair look no furthur. I have naturally very dark brown hair, but as a child I had the prettiest golden brown highlights (much like Jen Aniston). I have longed to try out that look for many years. I tried it three times with various stylists and each time I had to dye it back to my dark brown because the highlights were done so badly. I am very part...
I can't even begin to describe just how fantastic my visit was at Canale Salon this afternoon. My appointment was with Michael himself and I can't get over how incredibly natural and beautiful my hair looks. He went beyond measures to ensure my hair was restored back to its healthy state by applying a mask and several different conditioners. I have never had my hair feel so soft, especially afte...
I've been a client at Canale for almost a decade. Every so often i wonder off & try something new; w/ out fail i return, tail between legs, trying to explain why i cheated. Michael gets color; it's his gift -- what he does. Yes, he's a bit of a nutter -- who isn't? I'm practically certifiable. Michael is the man who makes my hair beautiful and I love him - i trust his judgment and know he wi...
I used Michael Canale for my highlights when I lived in NYC about 8 years ago. I decided to go back to him because I was never as happy with my hair color as when Michael used to do it. Well let me just say, I had the absolute worst experience of my life. From the second I walked in to the hole in the wall dirty salon that he works out of when he comes to NY, he was nothing but an arrogant, po...
I had a Hair cut with James from Canale Salon he did a great job He also did a great scalp massage I wont go anywhere else Thank you James They also ordered me a great lunch
I recently went to the Canale salon after getting a disasterous cut from another salon on Canon drive. I have to admit, I came in very upset and thought that no one could possibly fix the mess that was on my head. I ended up seeing James Peter and to my relief, he knew exactly what to do. He made me feel at ease, listened to my concerns and told me exactly how he would fix my hair.. When he was...
I just went to Canale to get my color done by Michael like I always do, but today I decided to have a blow dry after and I saw the new guy James Peter. OMG I look sexy, my hair is unbelievable. Normally my hair is stick straight and blah but today I feel like a model!! Seriously, my hair looks like i should be doing a photo shoot! James Peter is a hair god, and cute as hell
I went to Canale Salon in Beverly Hills and had a short haircut done by haircutter Scott Riffe ! I was very happy with the end result...I highly recommend this modern artist and his humble individualistic approach as a hairstylist. Also he's a fun and cool guy to know.
So, I came to Canale for color correction today. A colorist at another salon (up the street) bleached my hair blonde and then mistakenly toned it to a blue-grey. Mortified, I walked across the street to Canale. I knew of Michael's great reputation and I knew I needed help from an expert. It was a Saturday, he was busy with clients but he told me to get changed and not to worry. When Michael finis...
After several years of over-bleaching & straightening, my hair looked terrible and stopped growing. After just a few months of going to Michael--the color is amazing and the condition of my hair is better then it's been in a long time. And, with Candace now cutting my hair--it's finally growing and looking fantastic! Both Michael and Candace are exceptionally talented and I feel lucky I found ...
I have been coloring my hair for a looooong time and have been to about 6 different salons in my 11 years of living in LA. All I've asked for are some good natural highlights! Well, apparently good natural highlights are hard to come by. Finally, I found Michael on Citysearch. I decided to take a chance and I have been happy since I walked into his salon. He is a pro and funny and sweet to b...
Michael Canale is a genius. It's scary, really. He can take one look at your hair, call out magical numbers (of colors? who knows?!) to his assistant and make your hair look amazing. This is truly a top-notch colorist. . .actually the best I?ve ever been to. I have had my hair colored at some of the top salons in NYC: Louis Licari, Peter Coppola, Warren Tricomi and Bumble & Bumble (to name...
I have been coloring my hair for over 20 years and I have run the gamut of colors --> Good and Bad <--. I recently was hired to work for a Fashion Designer and knew that I needed NOT to fool around any longer with Ms. Clariol or the $60 color job at the local salon ... so I did my research and found Canale Salon. I went to their web page and really loved what I read. The price was a bit more than...
Butchered doesn't even begin to describe what happened to my hair here. I asked for three inches off with long layers.(My hair was waist length) When my haircut was finished they styled my hair so I couldn't tell until later that night when I got home how messed up it was. One side is three inches shorter than the other. The "layers" look like they were done with a weed-whacker. There's a spot...
I asked for three inches off with long layers.(My hair was waist length) When my haircut was finished they styled my hair so I couldn't tell until later that night when I got home how messed up it was. One side is three inches shorter than the other. The layers look like they were done with a weed whacker. There's a spot on one side that isn't even layered it looks like there's just a big chunk...
After having my hair severly damaged from some horrible highlights, I came in to have Michael or Edna give me a consultation. Edna happened to be available and was able to assess the damage right away. She assured me that it would be ok and that she could fix it in time. She asked me to wait as long as possible to color it again, as the damage was pretty extensive, then to come back to her whe...
Masterful, wonderful, Michael Canale is both artist and scientist---he is superbly gifted. If you are fortunate enough as I was a few years ago, to become one of his clients, you will wonder how you ever went anywhere else. Each head of hair gets Michael's individual analysis and treatment. Michael's clients justifiably adore him and unashamedly adore what he does with their hair---myself incl...
I've tried for years to find a good salon, through my search I have acquired layers of overly processed hair. The second I sat in Michaels chair I knew he was getting me, it was like he could read my mind, he explained what he was going to do & for a very reasonable price. He displayed confidence & concern for what I wanted.
I then saw Tabitha for my cut, she too was very confident & carefu...
Michael is a master of color. He works with each person to get the color exactly right - no one has ever done a better job on me. The color (all highlights) are the perfect, perfect shades and my hair SHINES. I'm no celeb but Michael is friendly to EVERYONE and the place is so laid back and chill. Everyone is friendly.
Michael and Edna are the BEST colorists!!!! I have been going to Michael for years and years and the few times I went somewhere else (because I was unable to make an appointment with him) I have deeply regretted it. He does beautiful natural color. He is sweet and funny and he really wants people to look their very best. Edna is also extremely talented and an absolute angel. Don't go anywher...
I think this place is just fabulous. Basically, it became famous b/c Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt had the owner, Michael Canale, do their hair color before their wedding day. I went here twice while in LA and had my highlights done by his assistant - the service was great. It's right off of Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills but the people there couldn't be nicer and more down to earth and the se...
Absolutely the best highlights I've ever had thanks to Michael. I also got a great cut. Very nice staff.
Michael is the master of coloring. He works with each individual differently, and understands what looks best w/ eyes, skin tone, etc. Very friendly, laid back BH salon.
Michael did an amazing job on my hair. My color has never looked better or healthier, and my cut was amazing too!
My color has never been better and I LOVE the glossing treatment - worth every single penny
