i have been going to laicale for over five years now.. my first time there was on a monday, which was their training day for new stylists and i was lucky enough to be paired with jesse.. i went there looking for guidance and support with growing my fine hair out from a very short pixie cut. he was very supportive and quite knowledgeable about this grueling process. since then i have gone from...
Getting my hair cut with Jesse is always a total treat. He listens well and gives me really crisp layers with lots of great movement. He is an amazing colorist and does a great job giving me super natural looking highlights.
Ive been going to him for years and recommend the salon and Jesse highly!
Ive been to many "upscale" salons, and even some not so upscale...either way ive always ended up hating my experience and being unsatisfied w/my hair!
This was my first time to Laicale and its by far the best salon ive been too, great staff, not pretentious, love the atmosphere...most of all... love my cut!...this is definetely my new spot for hair!!
I had my hair cut by Fabrizio last week, and I always feel like a movie star after he touches my hair. He knows how to give my hair the right amount of layers and movement, but still makes it look classic and natural. The best part: I never get split ends anymore, so I only have to have it cut every 3 months!
His sister, Sara, does my color- an equally talented hairdresser. I've never been dis...
Rachael does my hair and I couldn't be happier with the results. She has taken blonde - bright, shiny, and the exact tone I wanted. People ask me where i get my hair done all the time. It makes me feel really good about myself. I'm finally happy with the way my hair looks.
I went to Rachel at laicale and she was great! she gave me beautiful perfect blond highlights. She was really nice to me, not stuck up like at some other places, and she listened to what i wanted and then made some suggestions. my hair looks better than it ever has. I don't know what she did to it, but it was even soft a shiny, most times right after I have it colored its still dull and kinda fri...
I see Aya, who does a fantastic job with my hair. The highlights are very natural, and the cut is always cutting edge yet classy. I've recommended her to a friend who drives in from 3 hours away every other month to see her. She is a wonderful stylist. I've also gone to Faisal to have the Brazilian relaxer done to my hair. He does a fantastic job as well. (Though I am taking a break during ...
I've wanted to cut my hair short for years but was nervous and looking for the right stylist to do it. After a consultation with ROBERT @ Laicale - I felt comfortable and finally ready to go for it. He took into consideration my face shape and fine hair - and gave me a cut that is so flattering. He is AMAZING! I LOVE my new short hair. I would recommend him to anyone, man or women - he does an in...
Jesse took my dry, damaged hair and turned it into something beautiful. He cut off all the damaged brittle ends. Shaped it up and seriously gave me a new love for my hair! Excellent job!
I'm a guy, and have had a tough time finding someone who could give my (admittedly out of control) hair a good cut. Enter Rachael - she kills it. She's up on on the cool styles, talks you though it, and does a great job. Highly recommended.
I've been going to Robert at laicale for years and have never been disappointed. I have short hair and he always knows how to cut it, even when I want something different, but still short. he always does a great job and everyone there has been really nice and friendly.
After having fallen prey to the "celebrity hairstylist" buzz, I tried a few of the more well known NYC salons, (Gibson, Arrojo, etc), and while the results were never bad, I never left feeling completely satisfied. Sometimes it was a slightly inattentive stylist, sometimes it felt like I was being rushed out of the chair, just not super great, my hair wasn't exactly what I wanted, but never that ...
I am so happy to finally have found the BEST stylist and colorist for my hair. After a long battle, going from place to place trying to fix a really bad highlight job, I found Sara! She listened to what I was looking for as far as color and cut and she delivered the look I was hoping to get, ten times better!
The Salon is beautiful, clean and modern looking. The staff is friendly and know how to...
Well i pretty much know everyone closely here but not on the bias tip but i am looking in on this as a consumer where as i have never seen a Salon so clean so stylish so head strong on giving you the best of the best ...in the heart of Soho hustle and bussle lies this exquisite Salon that caters to every need you may have and more especially Sara the Sister of the owner of Laicale ... She is one ...
HI guys!!! i went to laicale for the first time and i'm very happy!!
I cut my hair with Sara, amasing girl! She's so easy and nice person..she always smile and she is talent too. The salon is very fancy and confortable!! i met in laicale famous people...i'm excited about my haircut..go to Laicale..Sara is the best!
I have been searching all over this concrete jungle for a stylist who would take my flat, dull hair to new levels. I was so pleasantly surprised by Laicale's team and will continue to return.
When I came in was greeted by friendly receptionists and then proceeded to receive the most amazing head massage I think I have ever had.
My stylist listened attentively to what I wanted and gave me a st...
I went to Laicale last Saturday in order to have a minor "orange root" problem fixed. yes I know I know..... Boxed color looks like crap, but we all fall prey to temptation every now and again. Anyway, so I get to the salon and explain my problem and the manager tells me to trust her and that " I am in good hands" .... I sit down with the colorist and tell her I just want my orange root problem g...
I found Laicale last year on citysearch and I'm so glad I found it, I will never ever switch! Jesse is a hair color god!!!... His cuts are amazing too!!!!!
I've always gone through nymag in the past for reviews and recommendations...and all those over priced places fall flat! I was paying over $300 for a haircut with my previous 'big name' stylist and had been unhappy for a while.... With t...
This is an incredible place. Jesse does my hair and?aside from being fun, friendly, and adorable?he's really talented. I've yet to have a bad cut. Jesse has great advice if you want it, and a clear, adept eye. The salon is comfortable (and immaculate), and the neck massages are to die for. This is one of those places you leave feeling like you've done yourself a favor by having visited. Couldn't ...
I have been using Ryan at Laicale for over a year and have not had a bad hair day since! His cuts are easy to manage yet versatile, allowing me to tame it by day and go wild by night. His eye for color sets off my skin tone perfectly, even when the seasons change. The diverse salon staff are extremely friendly and there is never a trace of attitude that you can sometimes experience in NYC salons.
I finally found someone who can understand me!! Faisal is very patience, nice, and he knows how to make me looks and feel beautiful!
I had a haircut few times with him and he never disappoint me, on my last visit I had a highlight, turn out very nice and I am definitely a very happy customer.
I've been recommended Faizal to some of my coworkers, and friends, they all very happy with Faisal ...
I've been going to Rachael for years and I couldn't be happier. When I first came to her I was in need of a new hair style and I didn't even know it (I had a crew cut for years and didn't pay much attention to my hair). I went to Rachael and basically said, "Go ahead and do whatever you think would be best for my hair". After my first haircut with her I could tell I had made the right decision...
I went to Laicale for the first time about 2 weeks ago for the Brazilian keratin treatment, as well as highlights. I usually do not bother reviewing anything online, but I am so happy with the results I really want to recommend this salon! The entire staff is amazing, from the front desk to the hair washer to the stylist. Faisal did my highlights and Brazilian treatment and everything turned ou...
I am a spontaneous person when it comes to my hair, and in the past when I lived in California my stylist knew this and humored my ever-changing whims. I moved to NYC a year ago, and every salon I went to the stylists were too nervous to do any slightly drastic change with my hair. I'd ask for a completely new color (within reason) and they'd just darken or lighten a few shades. I knew what I was...
I recently moved to New York and my hair was totally not used to the humidity so it kept fizzing all the time and driving me crazy. I didn't want to hurt it chemically so I asked my stylest, Rachel, what to do about it and she told me that a brazilian relaxer would do the trick. It totally straightened my hair and actually made it smoother. I was running late for something and she understood a...
the GREEN HAIR RECEPTIONIST! gives HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE! she keeps changing my appoints ....i forgot if it was 2:15 or 2 and when i came in she gave me an EVIL EYE! soon enough EVERYONE RACHEL AND ROSELINA gave me a look. MADE ME UNCOMFORTABLE IVE SPENT OVER 220$ for a s----- f---- service. WTF? this is a recession ladies.... you should do your best to STOP GIVING THAT LOOK AND try your b...
I had waive hair but when the humidity hits it would get very frizzy and unmanageable. Nothing could help my bang's I just had to live with it. Until I went to Fasial at Laicale. He suggested the Brazilian Relaxer which we did and it changed my life. No more worrying about frizzy messy hair; now it always looks perfect. The best part is I don't need product just blow-dry and go. Faisal is amazing...
I had lightish brown hair and wanted to dye it lighter for the summer. Rachael gave me the most perfect natural highlights so i am now summer and beach ready! thanks rachael!
I love my cut and I didn't spend a million dollars. I booked highlights for next week. My stylist took her time and showed me how to style my hair when I'm home. LOVE THEM!
I have been seeing Jesse for about three years now and every time i go I have an amazing experience. He was very helpful when i decided to change up my style (I got bangs!) and color. My highlights are always perfectly natural looking. He will also trim bangs for free between cuts which is amazing. I highly recommend you see him.
I was refered by a friend to Ryan and I had never had any color on my hair before. But i was ready for a change so I saw him and he put highlights in my hair and i love it!! it looks so subtle and natural. Highly recommend Ryan!
My hair turned various shades of orange when I recently went in for blonde highlights, and since she did not add low lights(darker pieces to blend it in ) it came out way too blonde.
I have been seeing Jeffrey for a few years now and nobody cuts my hair like he does! I foolishly visited other salons and barbers while I was traveling but no one does my hair like he does (and he always fixes it when they mess up!) For the best men's cuts anywhere, check out Jeffrey!
I live in the area and happened to walk in one day on a whim to get a haircut. They actually had an appointment, and I was lucky enough to get Rachael as my stylist. She was so sweet and gave the best haircut I've ever had. I will definitely be back again.
Got my hair cut really short from being really long and I was kinda nervous about it, but my stylist did an amazing job and I absolutely loved it. I would definitely recommend the salon to others.
I was recommended to Faisal. When I went there my hair was a mess. I told him to do what he feels best, cut and color-wise, to make it look good. He went above and beyond! My color rocked! My cut was unreal! He is the best! He listens, is sweet and a total artist with the hair!!!
Sara is such a talented hairstylist!! I have been going to Sara for two years and I have always been very happy the way she cut and colored my hair. What I like so much about her is that she is listening to your needs but at the same time has many creative ideas herself. She understands exactly which type you are and which cuts look best on you. Then she is such a lovely girl, I always enjoy ve...
Went to sara on a recomendation from a friend.well I was totally happy,like never before! Sara was professional and a complete artist! Go to sara. She is a true artist!
I went to laicale and I finally found my hairstylist! Sara thanks again
I coudn't say more, my hair are fantastic!
I was recommended to Jesse by a friend who has a fantastic haircut and now I will go to no one else. Jesse cuts and highlights my hair and he never disappoints. And I have been to many NYC salons. I initially went to him just for a cut, but I loved the haircut so much that I thought I would try out color. And now I'm hooked. He immediately makes you comfortable and listens to all your concer...
jesse gives the best mans cut I have ever had! i am a professional in design and need a look thats both business like and hip, jesse provides this for me every time. i have been seeing him for 4 years, he always listens to what i want and does not disappoint. i highly recommend him. i also get a great shampoo from mike.
I love Laicale salon! The staff is wonderful and friendly, and the hair dressers are very talented. I go to Jesse who is absolutely fabulous! He always gives me exactly the cut that I want and is a pleasure to spend the time with. If you are looking for a hair dresser or if you want to try a new salon on for size, go here and see Jesse. You won't be disappointed!
Hello I strongly suggest Laicale Salon...since I went there the first time 3 years ago I never thought to go somewhere else...all the staff is very very good and so cool! Sara is my favourite indeed...she makes such splendid cuts and she always suggests the best for me...she is even very cool and stylish also...Laicale is really a good spot and for what they offer they are very very fair...even m...
Hi there! I just want to tell that Laicale is a great spot. It is the best hair saloon in New York, never had a problem there, Sara is greatest touch and the whole staff is friendly and highly professional.!!!!
I keep going to see Sara at Laicale because she is such a fantastic stylist. I can stongly recommend her, if you want to stick with your look or whether you want to change your look, she listens to you and does what you want. The cut is always perfect and she is such a specialist in colors. I decided to dye my BLACK hair into red and she would do it and it looked amazing. My bob is always perfect...
I used to relax my hair with the Japanese relaxers, which made my hair stick straight, but very dry, but now I started to see Faisal for the Brazilian relaxer and it's amazing! My hair is still soft after the treatment, and even though it's not as straight as I had it with Japanese (has a little wave to it), it still looks great and is easy to manage. I recommend for anyone like me with crazy fri...
This is probably the WORST salon I've ever been to in my life! No, in fact, it IS THE WORST.
My hair literally fell out of my head, and what's worse, I wasn't sure when it was going to stop! Even though it happened at the salon they weren't apologetic and only offered my money back. To this day, the quality of my hair still isn't the same. I'm used to high end salons like oscar blondi and this ...
Sara Fiumicelli is the most amazing colorist ever. I was using other salons' services for years until I found her. Now I could never ever go to anyone else! She intuitively knows exactly which sunny shade of blond to make my hair look completely natural from season to season. I don't even have to say a word and she knows already what is going to look best on me. When I first went to her, my h...
I have gotten my haircut by Chie and Takako and they both did an excellent job. Chie cut my hair originally (long to to VERY short) and she relaxed it. She did a Great job and I constantly got compliments about how s*xy I looked. Eight weeks later Chie was on vacation so the receptionist suggested I make an appt with Takako, I was concerned at first because it had taken me so long to find a sty...
Ryan has cut my hair a few times now, and I have left Laicale super pleased with my look each time. He takes time to find out exactly what you're looking for, and pays great attention to detail. I somehow find his haircuts to be really relaxing, despite the noise and bustle of the busy salon. I also enjoy how they answer the phone, the cheery "bonna sera" makes appointment making fun.
seriously, i needn't say more. i've never had a hairstylist create a look for me that was so easy to manage, incredibly flattering, AND unique...and now that i really do, i can't imagine ever letting anyone else come near my hair. i am hooked!
I was just seeing barbers for the longest time, but was a little tired of the in-n-out of that after awhile. After exploring all my options, I settled on Jesse at Laicale from a friend's recommendation, and am really pleased with the outcome. He pays close attention to what you ask for and offers the suggestions only an attentive professional can do. Initially I wanted something very different th...
Seriously! I've been coloring a cutting my hair a million different ways for years, and it always look good, never great or outstanding. My ends were always a little fried and my hair was always a little lackluster and dull. Not after Laicale! I didn't think it was physically possible for my hair to be this shiny. I conceded to cut a little more off than I was originally comfortable with, but it ...
I have coming to Laicale for about 2 years now. I used to go to Arrojo but soon realized that place was like a factory and it's not all it's cracked up to be.
I've seen a few different people in my time here and I can't say I've been disappointed. Most recently I've seen Ryan for my color and Robert for my cut. They both know my hair so well its gotten to the point I don't have to say anyth...
I had so much troubles to find a good hair stylist, who can deal with my hair and understand what I want.
I tried so many salons and always end up disappointed!
My friend recommended LAICALE and told me to book an appointment with AYA.
So I did. I went there with no good expectations and almost certain to be once again disappointed.
What a surprise!!!!
The salon is very cool, simple, well de...
I know that a lot of people like this place, but i've been here twice, and both times were less the happy experiences. the guy cutting my hair had some 'personal' problems that happened that day and he was talking to me endlessly about it. it was about his financial problems. when you're there for an expensive haircut, it isn't appropriate for the stylist to be using you as his therapist and tell...
I made an appointment with Faisal for consultation and Kristina afterwards for haircut on Saturday noon.
Faisal spent lots of time listening and also giving me advices of which style I fit into best, how to take care of my hair, etc.
When it's Kristina's turn to cut my hair, she begins the consultation, I told her I want to change my style but all she has been telling me is i like what it is n...
My friend, who used to be a Laicale regular, suggested that I try Laicale and specifically recommended Aya. I was impressed and very pleased to call at noon and score an appointment for that evening! Aya was terrific all the way around. She was ready for me 10 minutes early, closely listened to my frustrations with my current hairstyle and seemed to understand my (honestly, quite vague) descrip...
I searched high and low for the right hairdresser... And, I finally found him! Jesse listens to what you want, understands your hair and gives you the best possible outcome. He's easy to talk to and makes you look great! I recommend him without reservation.
I've had the same hairstyle forEVER! When I finally decided to update my look, I decided I would spend whatever and go to a really good salon in the city. I ended up at Laicale based on several great reviews I read on the net. The reviews couldn't have been more spot on. Faisal was my stylist and he was fantastic. He listened to my ideas, and then explained exactlly what he would do. It all...
My hair isn't easy: everywhichway curls, thickness on top, and I like to keep it short so that a haircut has to be perfect for it to look good. So finding a good haircut isn't easy, either, but I found one at Laicale. The stylist listened carefully, she checked out my hair, and then she let fly with the scissors. Did I say that I have to take my glasses off during a haircut so I have no idea what...
I had an ?ok? haircut at Laicale back in February. Last weekend I needed my hair trimmed. My bangs were down in my eyes and my haircut was losing its shape. So I had called Laicale and booked an appointment with another stylist at a higher level, hoping that with experience I would leave content. By the way, my hair was below my shoulders for the first time and I was trying to grow it out. My sty...
I went to Laicale because of the awesome reviews. I hate to write a bad one, but the way they butchered me is honestly ridiculous. I have a little layered bob, but A LOT of hair. I explained to the guy cutting my hair that my hair gets very heavy in the back, assuming that he'd just layer it extra and make it a little shorter than in the front. I of course thought, that as a professional, he ...
I have tried everywhere; Barrett, Bumble, Fekkai, you name it, and I have never been satisfied with my hair-I was beginning to think it was my hair that was the problem! I know I can be a difficult client so when I went to see Jeffrey at Laicale my expectations were not high. Oh. My.God. The man is a genius! He listened. Really listened to what I wanted and to my concerns and gave me the greates...
I must agree with previous reviews: Jesse is a terrific stylist. I have spent years looking around the city for someone who both cuts good hair and who I'm comfortable going to. Jesse thoughtfully listens and works with me to make sure my hair works for the way I live, and it always looks good! On top of it, he's fun to see and smart to talk with, so I always look forward to my appointments. Fina...
I've been going to see Jesse for years and I've always walked out thrilled about my new haircut (or color). I've probably sent about 15 or so people his way by now and everyone has always thanked me for the recommendation - no complaints to date. I'm a loyal Jesse supporter - it's always a great experience. He really takes his time and always makes great suggestions. He has excellent taste and a ...
A coworker of mine recommended Jesse at Laicale, and he is by far the best stylist I have ever been to. Right away he was nice and easy to talk to and made some suggestions on what style would look good for my face. He did an amazing job and I will definitely be back to see him regularly.
I had this frizzy damaged hair because I have color and highlight on my hair, so I decided to get the brazilian keratin treatment. Faisal did the treatment. I have to wait three days to wash my hair after the treatment. And after I washed it, wow.... the result was amazing, no more frzzy. My hair looks very healthy, shinny and easy to blowdry. It has been almost 3 months now. He said it would la...
Not kidding people. I have followed this diva of design from San Francisco, where I fortunately met Kristina at a walk-in appointment in the Haight. After traveling through Asia and having my hair butchered by some sweet stylist who was completely overwhelmed by my unruly jew-fro, Kristina didn't even flinch at the job at hand. She completely transformed my mangy locks into the most adorable hair...
I made an appointment with Ryan based on a recommendation by a friend. I went in for a cut and color and I could not have been happier with the results. I wanted my hair darker, but not as dark as my natural color, and I also wanted some layers without taking off too much of the length. Ryan made sure that my hair was absolutely what I had asked for. I'm definitely planning on going back in the f...
I just got a hair cut from girl name aya - don't know what she did to my hair but she made my hair so frizzy with awful layer. I'm not usually a complainer but this is just not right!
Oh well I just gotta wait until my hair grow :(
I saw Kristina a couple of weeks ago, and wow, what a great job she did on my hair! I wanted a cut and color, but didn't really know what to do. She suggested boosting my natural dark reddish brown with a dark golden brown, and making the front a shade darker. It looks so great! No one knows I even did anything to it, but they keep complimenting me. She cut very little of my hair (I was expecting...
I recently had my hair relaxed with Chie. I have had unruly curly hair for a life time and had always thought about going for a Japanese Relaxer but wasn't sure. A friend told me to try Chie so I booked a consult with her (they informed me you cannot book the service without first coming to see her for a consult ) and she gave me a price and length of time it would take. So I made my appointme...
this is the first time i've written a review ever but i was really excited about getting my hair cut here, everyone was extremely nice and friendly, the atmosphere was really funky and cool and jefferey, my hairdresser seemed pretty nice. the first thing i told him was that i was letting it grow out and to be able to put it up in a pony tail for the summer-- he seemed to listen to what i wanted--...
I have been a customer of Laicale for some time. I started seeing Ryan when he was just an assistant and from day one I've been nothing but happy! He's now been promoted to full stylist and a I can see why. He is outstanding at everything he does! From modern classic cuts to something with a little more edge, he can do it all! I even sent my mother to him and he worked wonders with her hair....
I went to see Kristina at Laicale on a recommendation from a friend, and I'm very glad I did. Laicale's a very nice salon: good ambience, friendly people, etc.
Kristina's a very talented stylist, and she gave me a great, great haircut. I will definitely be going back. Call and ask for her.
Also, when you're seated, you're given a selection of magazines which someone has judged to be suitabl...
This was my first visit to Laicale and I was hesitant to try out a new salon, plus after I made the appointment I saw Kristina didn't have any reviews yet which added to my anxiety. Thankfully,she was absolutely wonderful and talented. I don't think my hair has ever looked so good, and I'm no stranger to expensive haircuts. She really did an incredible job and was extremely thorough both cutting ...
Kristina at Laicale is fantastic. She gave me the exact cut that I wanted and really put in a lot of effort into styling my hair even though it was not for a special occasion. The color that she did for me was also great and looked very natural.
She's new to New York and it was really refreshing to talk to someone who is not yet jaded by NYC. I'm sure she'll be booked up within weeks!
L...
I've been in Manhattan for a year now, and gotten my hair cut at a few places, nothing memorable. A friend suggested I go see Ryan at Laicale. I have never had a more attentive and exacting stylist, every time I've seen him I leave happy no matter whats going on. the shampoo/head message is great, the music needs to be rotated a little more, and I'm not a huge fan of concrete floors, I like to...
after several bad experiences at other salons my hair was a mess. even though I'd already spent a lot of money, I decided to come to Laicale based on the reviews. after my highlights with Sarah I was finally back to the blond I used to have and after Yaz cut my hair it finally looked shiny and healthy again not all split ends and frizzy. i feel like myself again!
After many not bad, but not disappointing visits to other salons here, I finally found the perfect haircut at Laicale. Jeffrey was my stylist and he actually understood what I wanted and gave it to me. I finally have the perfect combo of fun and professional, and Jeffrey is also fun and upbeat to talk to. Highly recommended!!!
thought this place would be great because of the reviews. came in for a simple cut and left extremely disheartened.
I went on a whim - and was pleasantly surprised by the kind staff, the excellent scalp massage and my favorite stylist, Jesse. During his consultation he listens, give ideas and feedback to make sure you're getting what you want. I have watched the other stylists and all of them have great skills - I wouldn't be hesitant to book an appointment with any of them should Jesse be unavailable (altho...
I went to laicale on 2/28/08, they offer the hair cut class on thursday night, I pay $35 to get a terriable hair cut which I'm not expect to get it. I just ask for simple one line cut (bob cut) but she cut my hair one side shorter than the other even other they have teacher in the class they didn't fix it. I left out the salon with unfix hair. The girl who cut my hair she wear the bob hair also I...
If I had more time, I would get my hair cut here once a month. The haircuts are slow but I would not have it any other way. Fabrizio is a perfectionist and the first NY stylist I have decided to work with long term. High priced stylists at other salons either used rapid cuts with thinning shears and aggressive heat styling to tame my hair or tried to draw me into a "wavy-hair-is-beautiful" cu...
Ryan has cut my hair twice, both times taking an extradordinairly long time. I like his attention to detail, but I kept requesting shorter layers, and he disagreed with me and so did not go as far as I requested. He also recommended a 'shine, gloss' rinse and to go darker a shade or two. I stressed I could not go darker as I was getting new headshots taken soon, and asked if there was a rins...
what a great experience!! I would highly suggest this salon and yes all the reviews about it are there because it really is a fab salon and you feel fab when you walk out the door!!!
a friend who had a perfect haircut refered me , and after wasting alot of money in a new "posh" salon in west chelsea i finally made an appointment. what a relief!!! i spent over $500.00 "chasing" the perfect hairc...
Went on a recommendation from a friend. She recommended Jesse and Laicale. By far the best cut I've had in New York. He listens to what you want and cares about where you are coming from. I have since sent two of my girlfriends and they are equally as happy. If you need a fresh perspective and a new eye see Jesse!
Simply mediocre haircut by Ryan who was very confused on what he was doing (had to go and ask several other stylists for what technique to use), thus the cut lasted almost two hours. The salon is spacious but the atmosphere is very stuffy mainly due to the staff's attitudes (very disrespectful and bickering about each other in front of you). This salon used to be decent but it has definitely lost...
My daughter told me I should go and see Ryan since I was here visiting her from out of town and have something new done. So I called the salon and woman who answered was upbeat and very helpful and was able to get me in the next day at the time I was looking for.
Once I was seated and Ryan introduced himself we talked at length about what I was looking for and he made some suggestions. I hav...
I have been going to Laicale for about 6 years now and have tried a few of the stylists (takako, ryan, jeffrey) and have never walked away unhappy. Whether you're looking for funky or classic you will walk out feeling and looking like a million bucks! The staff are friendly and attentive and the best part is the hair washing..the massage you get is amazing I always end up leaving the assistant ...
This is by far the worst combo of rude/unprofessional/unfriendly hair salon in new york city. I have been to several of the trendiest highly rated salons in the city, and this was my worst experience. They treat you based on the size of your wallet (or worse...on their poor uneducated guess of the what the size of your wallet is) and at any point they may decide that you might not be worth their ...
I would highly recommend Laicale. Since moving to NYC a few months ago, I had been looking for a salon that I could keep coming back to. Chie was my hair color stylist, and she was absolutely fantastic. She knew exactly what I wanted as I tried to find the words to explain to her that I wanted something natural for my half-Asian complexion - a shiny dark chocolate color that was not brassy but...
my sister has been going to see aya for a while, and she has been looking amazing since she met aya.
so i decided to go to see her , and she gave me the best haircut i have ever received in my life.
i had a medium length , and decided to go short. aya changed me look younger,and sexier!
my husband was very happy with my new haircut even it's shorter.
the other day i went back to see her for ...
After getting a diasterously unflatteringly cut from Bumble n Bumble two months ago (where the salonist listened to not one thing I said) it felt so great to have Jefferey not only give me the exact cut I wanted but help me pick a hair color that is so flattering even strangers have been asing where I get my hair done. Great service, same price as bigger salons (such as BnB) but instead of walki...
In the 8 years I've lived in New York I've had ups and downs with salons and stylists, but Laicale has changed all that. After four visits to Jesse, I'm totally convinced. Confident suggestions, solid technique, really good sense of matching hair style to your head/body/personality, lots of little nice touches -- Jesse does amazing work, plus he's fun, easy to talk to, and remembers what you told...
Jesse at Laicale is, by far, the best hair stylist I've ever experienced and Laicale provides a great backdrop that makes getting your haircut a joy. Laicale make it easy to schedule an appointment, treats you with great customer service and provide a fun, relaxing environment. Everyone I've referred to Jesse at Laicale has had the same experience I've had it and the the best thing for me is that...
I've been getting my hair cut at various uptown salons for a few years now, with less than stellar results. After being recommended to Laicale by a friend, I booked an appointment with a senior stylist, Jeffrey. Now that I know the difference in skill and atmosphere, I will never go back uptown again! The whole staff was friendly, attentive, and patient (with me, being a new nervous client). Jeff...
I am a pretty particular person when it comes to my hair and I just moved to the city and needed to find a new stylist. A friend of mine recommended me to Takako (she raved about her!). When I called for an appointment the girl was more than helpful and upbeat asking me my preferred time and day and what I was looking to have done. I was able to get an appointment for cut and high lights withi...
$100 with tip I paid for a hair cut from someone who seemed to be just learning. It took over an hour, and when I got home I had to take out a pair of scissors and make adjustment. Now it's worth $60. Wow I recieved a glass of water and head message. I was not there to get a head message and waist over an hour of my time. Couldnt keep my eyes open, I would of fallen asleep if it was not for the f...
I am a student right now and work part time, we all know money can be tight. I was recommended to Ryan by a friend who also goes to school and has also seen him. He takes models right now (most places you have to do what the stylist wants when you're doing the model prices but with this place you tell him what you want and you get it!)
I am down right picky about my hair but Ryan had an ext...
I went to Takako last week and got a great haircut! I was nervous about seeing a new stylist, but she put me at ease. I had the best shampoo/massage ever from Takako's assistant, then we talked about what I wanted out of the haircut. She was very down to earth and laidback and she delivered exactly what we had talked about. I am very happy with the results and a week later, I can still style it l...
I was going to this salon since it opened and stopped last year. The owner is a nice guy, but he gave me the worst hair cut I have ever seen--a dreaded "triangle head" cut. Before that, the other stylist who was cutting my hair would often make me wait because he was too hungover to show up on time. The colorists are awful. I started going to Younghee after that and am VERY happy. Do not go ...
Jeffrey gave me a haircut last Friday that is a joke ! It has a square shape with absolutely no style. I am a professional women in the cosmetics industry and will spend any amount of money for a great haircut.
Please stay away from this stylist --he has no clue and will not listen - he does it his way !
Try someone else or another salon.
Jeffrey is not talented , does not listen and overall does not have any sense of style. He is anything but edgy- if you are 85 years old perhaps he will ok for you-- but your hair will have not a style.
The haircut he gave me shapeless and does not look professional. Everyone that knows me have asked me what happened to your hair ! Who cut it ! It has a square shape and is missing something ! ...
I saw Robert for cut and color and my hair has never looked better.! I moved here 3 yrs ago and have been bouncing around a few well known salons,but never felt like i found the right stylist,"who would understand"
Robert made my hair trendy without looking like a fashion victim.My Blonde highlights were PERFECT! Watch out Victoria Beckham!
After going to a few different "cool" and "trendy" salons, I finally found one that does it right and an amazing stylist to boot! Many places will tel you they will give you an awesome cut, but really what they do if have a "look" that they repeat on all their clients. Which, for girls with curly hair like me, doesn't work.
Brian gave my hair a great shape and a super hot cut. I get so many co...
After the never-ending winter, I found myself in desperate need of a new hair cut and color for the spring. Having been to what seemed like every stylist in Manhattan, I was referred to the petite and wonderful Chie at Laicale by a close friend. I must say, I was beyond impressed. The salon itself was enough to make me go back- I mean if you're going to get a bad hair cut wherever you go- you mig...
I don't go very often to have a haircut but every time i go to see CHIE (my stylist) i feel like a new personne. the cut is never the same but always better. I let her do what she want because it's always been better and better since I see her, she knows excatly what is good for you. So i would like to say thank you again to the adorable and very charming Chie. I recommend her absolutly.
It seems like there are as many salons in NYC as yellow cabs, so you know how hard it is to find a good stylist you can stick to. Since last summer, I've been going to see Faisal whenever my hair is dying for some attention. I was referred to him by a friend, and he's done not only great haircuts on me, but fantastic color, and even a japanese hair relaxer which turned out 100 times better then I...
i found Laicale through a friend who gets her hair done there by another stylist. when i called i was greeted by an upbeat receptionist that took the time to find out the particulars about what i was looking for. i was recommended to jeffrey. i have difficult hair which is somewhat wavy and can be a hassle. not only did he do amazing on my cut but my highlights were amazing. i cannot believe...
I recently was referred to Jesse and after some hestitation made an appointment for color and a cut. I had dark hair and wanted to go lighter and Jesse and I found the perfect coloring for my face and topped it off with a cute stylish cut to frame my face. I feel like I am in my thirties again, no small feat for a forty-five year old, and ready for spring. I highly reccomend Jesse and without ...
I have found my stylist!! I needed a major overhaul. I heard about Laicale and went in last Saturday. I saw Robert for color and a cute girl stylist for cut. They set me right! I finally feel like I have a cut I can manage and my color is perfect for to get me out of my winter blues. He did something with the highlights and the color under it so I have dimension but it looks natural. The ...
An embarrassingly bad haircut from Robert was exacerbated by rudeness from the manager (identified as Ginny or Jenny), who seemed to have a personal stake in insisting that since Robert directs their program, he couldn't possibly do a bad job. Nice theory -- but when everyone from my doorman to secretary to colleagues and even the mailman commented independently on the unflattering cut, it would...
I have been going to Laicale for three years now and have loved every cut that I have received. I typically see Takako, but have also gone to Sara and Robert who I love as well. They are personable and the staff is friendly, plus it is in Soho which makes for great shopping and people watching. I would highly recommend Laicale for those who are in to the downtown scene.
I'd heard that Robert was fab for fine hair, and he was -- the first time. Then came the hacked-up layers and the loss of 3" of hard-won length. I went into the salon looking great -- Robert even asked me how I'd styled my hair in the morning, since it looked full, long, and wonderful. The he got hold of it -- and I'm sure it will take months to even approach its former state.
Bottom line:...
Laicale is great. Ask for Jesse if you want to look and feel like a million. Nobody ever cuts my awful fine, wavy, frizzy mousy brown hair well, but Jesse did it. I also had him do a single process color and it looks perfect. Go to Laicale now. You know you want to.
Faisal is fairly new to Laicale and I decided to give it a whirl and live a little. He did an AMAZING job. Normally I have never had such a great experience that I wanted to go home and post how great someone was BUT he made me do just that. I got the Japanese hair straightening and it's a MIRACLE come true.
He is very good at what he does and he's going places.
He's offering fantastic p...
After many bad experiences, I finally found my angel! The real hair god - FABRIZIO - from the first moment I saw him, I knew he would be amazing. Just the way he dresses and talks, you know he will give you an incredibly stylish yet elegant hair cut. He was so sweet and funny. I also had a great head massage from his assistant. I am going to go back for color in two weeks. I LOVE IT!
I went to laicale twice to get a haircut with Fabrizo . The first cut was amazing but after that the style seemed very flat and boring with not as much effort put into the hairstyle like the first hair cut . Since then Me and my Boyfriend have been going to Tonino at Cutler Salon
RECEPTION: Once you walk in, some stylists smile at you and receptionist welcomes you with a great attitude. Unlike the other salons, you just need to wait for a few minutes to be guided to your chair.
CONSULTATION: Although I did not have a particular style in mind that day, my stylist (Chie) explained the style she suggests in a few seconds. I have been to some salons who actually sits w...
I was excited about having my hair cut at laicale after reading the awesome reviews, and I was pleased to discover that they are true! Fabrizio cut my hair, I asked for trim and to improve the overall style. He listened to me and gave me some good suggestions. Right after it was styled I thought that overall it was a nice haircut, but the more I look at it the more I love it, it makes me feel ...
I feel great! I had highlights and a hair cut with Jeffrey and it looks great. Jeffrey does a lot of my friends and I finally decided to see what they were talking about. He really listened to me and gave me honey highlights and a cut I can style. Everyone was really friendly and the salon was really nice. I think it's important to review places you like so that's why I am doing this. I fou...
Had an appointment with Sara for color & cut 2 weeks ago, after a prior consultation. I explained I wanted a reddish-brown base color and then some lighter high-lights added. I ended up with light brown hair and some miniscule highlights. My hair appears to be all one color. The cut was supposed to be like a 60's shag. Not at all what it turned out to be. This cut ended up to be bangs and ha...
this time was the 2nd time that i went to get a haircut by aya!
of course i went back to her because i really liked the haircut she gave me last time. so this time i wanted to be much shorter, but usually hairstylists make me look like a boy if i go shorter, but i thought aya could make me still look cute even though i go shortert.
so i got a shorter haircut by aya. i really liked it. people to...
I got an edgy, choppy, kind of rock and roll haircut from Tim. I have very thick wavy hair, and alot of hairdressers don't understand what to do with me, but Tim made my hair look great. I get compliments all the time.
I've been getting my hair cut by Tim for over 3 years and I have never been even slightly disappointed. I walk out of the salon feeling like a million bucks. I used to have long, straight hair that was all one length, but I was starting to get sick of it. One day, my friend and I were dining out and I commented on the hostess's hair. She gave me Tim's card and I took a chance because I loved ...
Jesse not only gave me the best cut of my adult life, I loved the way he personalized it for my look. I highly recommend Jesse. I loved the vibe of the space. And....NO ATTITUDE
TIM has been cutting my hair for the last 3 years. I have long, somewhat fine and curly hair and he knows just how to give my hair the right volume and shape. He cuts my hair so that it looks styled, curly or blown out. Tim really takes the time to make your hair PERFECT. For years, I would try new places in NYC and they would just cut all my hair off and give me the typical boring cut with a ...
If you're looking for a hairsylist that you'll want to go back to time and time again, look no further than Tim at Laicale. Tim's been cutting my hair for years and everytime it looks exactly the way I want it to. Before I met Tim I was in the midst of that seemingly never-ending search for a stylist who would actually listen to what I wanted and then could actually do it. Sound familiar? Well, I...
i have been getting haircut by aya almost for a year since i have moved to new york, and everytime she cuts my hair cool, kind of funky,young,and cute!(my boyfriend and friends love it. i work at the restaurant,and customers always give me compliments of my haircut.) i don't really tell aya what to do because she is such a stylish girl and i trust her 100%. she also does color. my girl friend goe...
I was checking out citysearch and saw that i can review my favorite salon so had to tell everyone how great it is. I have been going for at least 4 years and am always happy with my services (and if I have ever had a question or problem, I have called and they take care of it right away). I have been to Fabrizio, the owner, his sister Sara and Yaz. They have all been great and share my color ...
I am a frequent client of Sara's, who always gives me an amazing cut and fantastic color, not to mention she's freakin' adorable! However, two things to the management: the terrible techno music they play does not fit the ultra-hip vibe. Another thing that bothers me is that everytime I come in there seems to be new front desk girls. I especially miss the group of cute, incredibly stylish and per...
I enjoy Laicale because the staff is personable without being intrusive. They understand that people are busy and stressed and are coming to the salon with the expectation that they will feel and look better when they leave.
Tim has cut my hair for several years now. I'm committed to him as my stylist because he is talented, serious, consistently shows a level of patience with my challenging...
every time jesse cuts my hair it comes out truly flawless. i've never received so many compliments! i even got highlights (which we all know can turn out horrible in the wrong hands) and they are pure perfection. they are soft and subtle and very natural looking. i've never been so happy with my hair!
Great experience from start to finish. It was really busy but I never felt rushed. I saw a great stylist named Jesse and he was very patient with me and I feel like he really listened. I got honey-colored streaks and no more grays...thank god! I love my cut, I can wash and wear it or do the blowdry (although never as well as the stylist did). The front desk was really friendly and helpful. ...
I saw Fabrizio, the owner, and had a great cut. My friend found him on citysearch and told me I had to go. I've been around so wasn't convinced until I saw him in action. He really understood what I was asking for and what I wanted. I felt like he listened and then interpreted a style just for me. Plus he has a sexy Italian accent and is well-cultured and can talk fashion. He was fantastic. ...
had my hair cut by one who did a good job and another who butchered it. both was the same price.
I stopped by on a weekday and asked for a senior stylist-Freddie was free. My biggest concern was the length of my hair it is really long and I was so scared they are gonna cut it off, I talked to Freddie and told him that I only want trimming. He was very nice, he said he wouldnt cut my hair too much even if I did ask for it cause he said that what matters is that if that style fits you or not ...
I have been getting my hair cut by Fabrizio since Laicale opened and when people think I'm at least ten years younger than I am I must give him all the credit. He is so good that my cuts last way too long - I wish I could go more often but the cut just seems to get better with age. In addition to being a genius with the razor and scissors, he is charming and there's no one I'd rather converse wit...
ONE OF THE BEST HAIRCUTS I HAVE EVET HAD. I HIGHLY RECOMEND JESSE. HE DOES KILLER MENS CUTS. HE ALSO CUTS AND COLORS MY GIRLFRIENDS HAIR AND SHE LOVES IT. OVER ALL GREAT EXPERIENCE!
this is it. finally, the best haircut i have ever had. sara did my cut, i had no prior knowledge to her, i just got lucky with an appointment. she listened to the vibe i was going for and gave honest feedback about what would and wouldn't be good. she then took those thoughts and translated them into something hip and sexy while still being something i can manage on my own outside of the salo...
I saw the review on citysearch and went in Friday evening for color and cut. I got a great style that is cool but not too trendy and very easy to style. I really liked the salon and the atmosphere is welcoming and stylish. I loved the music and everyone is really nice. My stylist was Simone and she was cool. Also they are open 7 days which is really handy, I will go back.
Sara cut my hair and it is AMAZING. I wanted a significant cut (way shorter), but wasn't sure precisely what I wanted. We discussed some things and then she cut for at least an hour, the last 20minutes of which she spent getting things exactly right. I am a total perfectionist and I'd see a spot that looked a little off to me, and without me saying a word, she came back and did a bit more. But th...
I have used three stylists at Laicale. All three have given me outstanding haircuts. My hair is very difficult, curling in humid weather and going its own way in general. Laicale stylists seem all to have the skills to address individual problems. They're good about a revisit for slight problems. They're fast, too. I'm out in 45 min., 2 hours for coloring. And they cost a fraction of what ...
Man!, that jessah girl can give a mean head massage!!!. That's why I make my frequent visits to Laicale. I mean I also go for my cuts but I really enjoy the atmosphere and the service at Laicale. it's wayyyy in my top favorites.
A sales person at the Balenciaga store (hey-my mom was in town!) recommended a couple of things for us, and going to get my hair done with Robert at laicale was on the top of the list. Well, after a three week wait I finally got an appoinment with him! He really listened to me during the consultation, I didn't feel pressured at all. We decided to go for some natural honey and caramel color highli...
I just saw Laicale is the 2005 winner and it seems a well deserved award as I rave about this place to anyone that asks about a good salon. Freddie has only cut my hair once but I am amazed at how he works with hair. He has a very unique knowledge about how to cut hair so that it grows out properly. This isn't a cut that will last a month, this is a cut that can endure all those phases and sti...
i was referred to see simone and was so happy. i have been growing out my gray and needed a transformation. she lowlighted and highlighted to make me look younger and more natural. she had loads of tips on how to deal with curly frizzball hair and they are actually helping.
Nice atmosphere - I was excited. I've had amazing cuts at this price (elsewhere). I have long curly hair. Fredi simply spent 10-15 minutes on me and trimmed my hair. That's it - nothing special. Start to finish wash, cut and dry in about 20-30 minutes. Quick trim for $95 with zero attention to detail. Not for me.
Wonderful salon. Relatively new (opened in 2000), but the service is definitely top-notch. They do all kinds of styles here: from edgy & hip to highly sophisticated looks for weddings or other events. The staff is very experienced/professional. Every time I get my hair cut here it looks fabulous. I recommend this salon to all.
Every time I go to Laicale (I see Fredie), I get a perfect hair cut. Layers are perfect, I feel comfortable wearing my hair curly or straightened out. Fedie is extremely talented. I feel my hair is in perfect shape...it can't get any better!
i went to takako today for funky edgy platinum highlights and they came out beautiful. although i wanted chunkier highlights the result was still very nice. the salon is very nice and the staff is pretty friendly. shampoo and scalp massage=heaven. one thing that was bad was that i left the salon with splotches of dye on my neck and face that they failed to wipe off and i didnt really notice them ...
I dont let just anyone cut my hair but i trust laicale completely. I found this salon through citysearch and booked an appointment with Fabrizio who i thought was amazing! He asked me what bothered me about my hair as it was, gave his opinion on what would make it better and made sure i was incredibly comfortable. He took such care and thought over what would suit my features and gave me the b...
I have never cried over a haircut before. I went to a certain stylist and she cut my hair very shoddily and quickly. I used to have long beautiful hair but 8 months later, my haircut is still recovering and I'm still waiting for it to be halfway normal. They offered no apologies or no reimbursements. I was so frustrated with this salon! They have a great downtown atmosphere and very chic staff, b...
great experience with my colorist/stylist Sara. she is italian and has great style. i loved the hair massage and everyone was so friendly. Sara gave me great highlights and an easy cut to style. i really recommend her.
I've been going to see Robert since he came over from another local salon. He has cut my hair and the hair of quite a few of my other friends. Those of us with fine hair especially like the way his cuts make the most of what we've got. The cuts grow out well...I've gone six months at a time when funds were short. Color is something that all of the Laicale stylists seem to do very well. They all s...
150 words? how about one word - perfect! you see, i really love and take very good care of myself and when it comes to my skin, body and hair I tend to spend a fortune and I am always looking for new treasures. i think i found it in fabrisio who cut my hair today. not only is he a pleasure to spend a few hrs with while he works on you but also he leaves you looking your very best. the layers are ...
I have to say that I think the author of "Fredi is the best" might want to jump over one seat southward and check out the great Robert Winslow. I have been getting my hair do "did" ( to quote Miss Missy E ) by Mr. Winslow for about 7 years now and the sheer idea of getting in his chair brings such excitement to the soul! He is a great artist who is continually perfecting his art. Love him and ...
Fredi is a great stylist. He made me feel totally comfortable and relaxed and gave me a faboulous haircut. I have curly hair and he was totally professional and though it was my first time with him, I just trusted that he would do a great job. Anyway, he gave me great layers and I still get compliments (atleast once a day). Plus I use their cute little samples and my hair is glowing. Just go to...
They did a great job with my hair. I love it, and recomend it to everyone.
My co-worker recommended Fredie. I wasn't really sure exactly what I wanted..just something different. I ended up with a whole new look! my hair's always been fine and thin, but he gave me layers that really makes my hair fuller. I ended up with 4 less inches,but I feel soooooo much freer..and even younger.
Freddie was so good that I went back two weeks later for full highlights. It turned out ...
They are AMAZING! Is been 5 years that i trust Fabrizio Fiumicelli ,and i fly from los angeles just to have my hair done with him.
i lived abroad in hong kong for years and wasn't sure about new york salons. citysearch recommended laicale and i decided to try them out. i saw simone for color & cut and was really happy. she suggested a change to my highlights that had become one color and gave me lowlights to add dimension. the cut was easy and i can still style it at home. i am really happy.
Coloring was the worst ever, haircut was decent but not for the price, & after care customer service was rude & non-existent!
The salon is very modern, spacious with courteous and prompt service. Very good hair products. Kim was my stylist and I was very pleased with her work. Highly recommended.
I've been going here for the past 1 1/2 years- AND I LOVE IT MORE EACH TIME! From the second you walk in the door, to the incredible massages, to final product. So far I've been to three different stylists for three differnt services, and each one gave me star service. Six of my best friends have already converted and I recomend everyone else to give it a try!
i had a great cut with fabrizio the owner and his sister sara for color. they are so fun and professional. i found the salon to be really friendly and helpful and not snotty. thanks for a good experience laicale!
Takako is the best - I had long, straight boring hair for so many years but through some highlights and a great, swingy, trendy-but-not-too-high-maintenance cut, transformed my entire look. I love, love, LOVE the color - it's subtle and very summery, and the cut couldn't be easier - it's wash and wear, glamorous without blow-drying and wearable without pulling back. The best part is, the whole pr...
Perhaps this salon is getting a little too cool for its own good.
By overbooking its stylist, you now get average care that is not tended to appropriatley only to end up with hair color that you did not want.
Forget about calling back and asking to talk to the owner to get the problem fixed because she won't talk to her customers.
Any business owner that does not care to deal with an unhappy...
getting a haircut is not one of my favorite things, but laicale was the best experience i've had. my stylist, chie, certainly knew her way around a head of hair and more importantly my wife loved it..
I had my hair cut, highlighted and dyed last year, the highlights was fine, the cut was ok. All in all I wasn't very impressed by it all. It felt like a more expensive Jean Louis David, with average quality.
If you're looking for a salon that's hip, trendy, yet won't break your wallet, then this is the place for you. This was my first time there and I was nervous about what to expect, as I've been going to the same prior salon for years now.... The staff was great, and made me feel right at home! I had Takako as my stylist, and she gave me exactly what suited my face, yet different.... I'll defin...
citysearch always have the best reviews so i went to laicale for my hair. i had fabrizzio and sara, they are an amazing brother and sister team from italy. they gave me cut & color to die for plus i practised some of my italian for my next trip. the place is really cool and everyone was really friendly. all my coworkers are going now, and i had to write because they are so nice and i want the...
I went to Laicale on the strength of all the positive reviews and overall the reviews are pretty right. The stylists are talented and the place is cool without any pretensions. I have one tip though which may be helpful...Saturdays seem to be VERY hectic for some of the more popular stylists. If you want the stylists to focus on you instead of juggling other clients simultaneously, you may want t...
Yaz was my stylist. He was very nice and gave me a basic cut that I could manage the next day. The shampoo with head massage was terrific. A little pricier than I'm used to but overall a good experience. I'm going back again.
FABRIZIO AND CHRIS ARE THE BEST! I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW ANYONE COULD HAVE A BAD TIME @ THIS PLACE. THEY MAKE YOU FEEL AWESOME AS SOON AS YOU WALK IN TIL THE TIME YOU WALK OUT. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE TO ANYONE WHO THINKS THEY HAVE DIFFICULT HAIR AND TO THOSE WHO LIKE TO GO TO PLACES WHERE THE PEOPLE ARE FABULOUS.
HAD A GREAT CUT AND EXPERIENCE AT LAICALE. CITYSEARCH WAS RIGHT, ATMOSPHERE, STYLING, LOCATION, PRICE, SKILL. DEFINATELY RECOMMEND THEM. MY STYLIST WAS YAZ AND HE DID A GREAT JOB.
without writing more than necessary, a friend at work referred amy. i am very very happy and will definately go back. it's funny, you don't think there's muchof a difference when going to a mediocre stylist...until you've really been to someone who knows what they're doing. amy's great.
a great salon downtown. i live & work downtown and have never found a place i really liked. they totally understood the style i wanted and they were super cool. check it out..
I went in on Saturday to get highlights and a hair cut. I was living in France for the last 5 years and was worried about finding a salon to do my hair. I relied on Citysearch and they were great for referring me to this place. Staff was so friendly and nice and my color and hair cut look amazing. I am very happy.
or maybe just look like one? Go to Laicale. The entire staff is professional and accomodating and very, very cool. For a cut - see Janaan, she is incredible - she will transform you from everyday to glamorous in just under an hour. If you want a great color - see RJ he is wonderful and creative. Your hair will look great and you will be hooked!
I like laicale better than bumble and bumble.
The stylists are great and the staff is super friendly. There is no pretentiousness here that tends to permiates other big name salons. Great minty scalp massage with shampoo. Very open and relaxing space. Just great attitude and great cuts!
Was in NYC for the weekend, so made an appointment with Fabrezio based on the reviews here. He did an amazing job - I told him to do whatever he thought best, and it is the first I have been happy with my hair in years. I've received many compliments, and will be flying in every other month to have Fabrezio work his magic. Definitely worth the price!
Great cut with no hassles. I saw avery professional stylist who did a good job. They were really nice when I booked the appointment and also when I came in. Cool music, good vibe, nice people.
Never before have I walked out of a salon LIKING my haircut... Amy does great hip & flattering cuts. Unfortunately it is NOT cheap. If you are in the mood to splurge, this is it.
Good experience at their salon, I found everyone to be professional and friendly. I love my new look, highlights & cut with Fredi. I was afraid to cut my long hair but he convinced me to go to shoulder length with a little bit of shag. The cut was a little more than I thought ($95 plus tax) but well worth it, they told me at the front that they have cuts from $75 with good stylists so I am goi...
Had a great cut and color with RJ and Fabrizio. They both listened to what I was looking for and gave me hair I can style by myself. The staff is very friendly and very cool. No attitude and they know style... I loved the music and the atmosphere. Thanks Citysearch, you know what is happening in NYC
Last week I had my hair cut by Yaz, who was great. He was honest about what my hair can/can not do, listened to what I wanted, and gave me some suggestions on what I could have done. I have fine, limp hair, which was really damaged. He gave me a great cut, and on top of that, he was very friendly. I will definately go back.
I went to Laicale because of the positive review for a haircut under $100 category. I was charged more than $100 for a shoulder length hair and a cut that I was not impressed with. I was very disappointed and will never go back there again.
He is an amazing colourist. Very talented and sweet. Highly recommend!
a good friend who went to laicale after seeing the ratings on citysearch told me try this place out. i saw yaz for both cut and color. he was great - all around. he listened to my thoughts and made some suggestions of his own. very attentive, very thorough...it's as if he read my mind!
i am not a freak about my hair. i actually tend to bounce from place to place, just trying new things. i really was very happy here though. i went based on the 'city search' referral so i figured i should add a comment. my stylist was japanese, and i really have no clue what their name was. but you should check this joint out!
my hair obsession has lead me to countless salons and scores of hairstylists. i have finally found the stylist of my dreams and will no longer wander. freddie is talented, worked with my hair texture/face shape and gave me a great cut. the cut has kept it's shape and i hardly work with it. the staff is pleasant and professional, a truly great find. thanks for the tip citysearch.
Hi, what a great color & cut. I wanted to add to the reviews because I went to laicale with high hopes and I left with great hair. I am a normal person who likes a little bit of trend and a good value. RJ did my color and Chie my cut, they were both very experienced and did meticulous clean work. I would definately recommend laicale and I will go back.
A great cut and fabulous color by Robert. Salon has a genuine friendly atmosphere. Lots of personal attention.
Funky space (a DJ spins in the corner) and great stylists. Freddie for cut and Chris for color are amazing (they really listen).
love my hair, especially because my stylist fabrizio (he's the owner) understood what i was looking for - i can shower and go without even blowdrying. he is so charming and i loved my experience. jenna booked my appt and was there when i came in and was the nicest and most helpful person i have met in new york. the salon is cool, the music great, head massages amazing. thanks laicale, i love ...
Beware: Laicale is no bargain! For $95, I expected a good cut. Unfortunately, I walked away feeling cheated.
First, the positives: the staff is friendly, and clients are served tea and a cookie upon arrival and receive several product samples upon exiting.
However - these were far outweighed by the negatives:
1) The resulting haircut looked ok when I left the salon - thanks to the decent bl...
nyc is a tough place to run any business. i have been to the pricy up-town salons, spending close to $1000 total for services. had i known it wasn't about the money, or about the attitude i would have sought elsewhere. it should be an inviting experience, warm in atmosphere with friendly service. i am not a freak about my hair, but this was the best $100 i spent. and you can bet i will return.
i never thought my quest for the perfect stylist would end.
thanks to laicale and my skilled stylist, i have been proven wrong.
what a gift!
This was my first non-Supercuts haircut in about a year, and it was well worth the extra money. Janaan was incredibly nice and did exactly what I wanted, but added her own expert advice. She also showed me how to style it easily, and for once I can actually make my own hair look presentable without putting it up in a ponytail. Nobody was pushy about selling me styling products or other service...
Fredi has been cutting my hair for over a year now and he's awesome. They're a super-modern bunch, but they don't force trends. They look for what's right for each head.
okay, so I'm not a twenty-something, not even a 30-something. But did that mean my stylist had to give me an old lady 'do? I was sick of it so I tried Amy. I left the salon looking 10 years younger and 10 pounds thinner. And without feeling even a little intimidated. All my friends were amazed.
COOL, WELCOMING, EXPERIENCED STYLISTS. REALLY SURPRISED AND PLEASED TO FIND LAICALE WAS EVERYTHING POSTED ABOUT THEM. I SAW BRIAN AND HE REALLY UNDERSTOOD WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR - HE GAVE ME A NEW LOOK AND INSPIRED ME FOR FALL. I WAS A LITTLE NERVOUS SINCE IT WAS MY FIRST TIME USING CITYSEARCH AS A GUIDE AND THEY REALLY CAME THROUGH. WHAT A GREAT EXPERIENCE!
Thanks a bunch for a GREAT haircut! I went to an expensive salon last week to cut my long straight locks. The stylist totally butchered my hair. He gave me a short and fizzy bowl cut. I went back to the salon (having spent $150 there) and the owner tried to fix it, but it ended more frizzy and uneven. He was also rude and resentful. I read about Laicale on Citysearch.com, I called and went f...
The staff was so nice and attentive. The stylist took his time with me and gave me a fabulous cut- i received tons of compliments.
I am very happy with my new cut. I have medium length straight hair that Chie turned into just what I wanted without having said too much. She read my mind. Her skill is superb and confident. The atmosphere is clean, no frills, and friendly. The shampooing (by someone else) could have been more attentive though.
I went to Laicale based on a 'word of mouth' rccomendation. Being new to the area, I was very nervous to see a new stylist (considering I was with my previous stylist for over 10years). I didn't think it was possible to surpass the expertize of my dear friend back home.....but I was proven wrong. Let's just say that if I ever relocate again, it will be more than worth the cost in airfare to re...
Haircut was not great -- was out of proportion; I felt that my stylist was still a student and lacked a really good eye, which is essential for a haircutter at a quality salon; would not recommend this place to my friends
Got a great cut, that fit my personal style. I just let Freddie do what he thought would look best for me and he did an awesome job. Nice atmosphere, great products that helped me work with my style.
skilled people, funky vibe, slick setting, and happy people. such a bargain!
Laicale is a great salon, experienced stylists and welcoming atmosphere.
they listen; don't try to force styles on you that will "dissassemble" 5 minutes after you walk out the door;
Fabrizio cut my hair once and I loved it!! He really did an amazing job and the salon and service was great, thanks one of my b.f.'s who gave me a voucher, she goes every 6 weeks never missing an appointment!
Laicale Salon is everything you hope for from the moment you arrive. I was greeted by "Jenna" who made me feel like I was as important as if I was Julia Roberts walking in. Very personable and professional. All the staff were courteous and considerate. The services were on time - no waiting. Now the hair- amazing. My cut was to die for. I have never had so many people ask me where I got my...
I just moved into the area and was looking for a new salon. And now I have found it! My stylist was wonderful - the best haircut I have ever had. He helped me choose a style that I was comfortable with and that suited me! The staff was also efficient and super friendly.
Not only does the Laicale employ very talented stylists, it is also a place where I feel welcome and at home which is very rare in NYC.
I absolutely loved thi splace - prompt, efficient, friendly, and chic.
this maybe hard to believe but I travel from Florida to have Robert cut and color my hair and its worth every trip !!! he is the best !!!
The best place in the city to get a great cut and be treated like a friend visiting you home. Everyone is a pro and sooo sweet and talented. My hair always turns out better than I hoped.
Jeffrey is a god! Easily the best haircut I have ever had in my life. I can't say enough about this salon. I feel like this is what heaven must be like. Do yourself a favor and book an appt. Today.
Great salon. All the stylists are great--but I've got to recommend Amy for gals with short or medium length hair. She's tops. The staff at Laicale is friendly and the shampoo/massage is unbeatable. Also, their exclusive styling products are fantastic--the mud, moulding cream, texture lotion--are the best on the market.
been there twice and first went to chie and got a fabulous cut and style was very pleased. the second time chie wasnt available but got such a great cut from freddi and coloring from chris. all in all i believe all the stylists to be top-notch and the best at what they do!!!!
THIS IS POSITIVELY THE BEST MY HAIR HAS EVER LOOKED. CHRIS (COLOR) AND FREDI (CUT) BOTH DID A FABULOUS JOB. I HAVE NEVER RECEIVED SO MANY COMPLIMENTS, BY COMPLETE STRANGERS EVEN. MY COLOR LOOKS SO NATURAL AND THE CUT.....WELL THEY BOTH COMPLIMENT MY FEATURES PERFECTLY. AS FOR THE HEAD MASSAGE I RECEIVED WITH MY SHAMPOO, I WAS IN ECSTASY
