Read More On Citysearch Jenniferblonde 3/23/2010 - Roger-you are amaizingI am a costumer in this salon for more than 5 years, Roger did my hair for my graduation, he did my hair on my wedding day, on my birthdays. The salon never forgets about my birthdays, they always send me a birhtday card with coupons and make me feel special. When I am there I enjoy talking with my stylist, and I never want to read a book during highlights. I am always there, and I am always plea...

I've been here three times- I wanted to really give it a try before I gave up. My stylist was Roger all three times. The first, I had a cut and partial highlight. Roger asked me to help by holding and passing him the foils. I did that, but I'd have really preferred to read. When I got the final bill, it was nearly $300, including the tip. I was appalled. My hair looked decent, but I've had...
Read More On Citysearch akalte 9/21/2009 - The Most ConvenientI never really thought that this salon is rated on City Search until recently. To think I?ve been going to AR Hair Salon for a couple of years now. And I always get my hair done with a few of stylists in the salon, because everyone is great there. The salon is conveniently located for me. Its on my way to work, so I never feel any pressure when I go there.
Read More On Citysearch drknt9 8/6/2009 - Michael is the Best Men's Haircut in Chelsea!I've been going to AR Salon for the last couple of years and ALWAYS work with Michael. He gives the best haircut I've ever had. He knows a lot of great techniques and gives a great precision men's haircut. The staff is extremely friendly and fun to be around. If you're looking for a great deal, a high quality haircut, and a couple of good laughs, this is the place to be!
Read More On Citysearch andrew2089 7/7/2009 - Horrible Experience Never Again!I read all these great reviews and made an appointment with Roger. I needed hair color and a cut. I picked out the color from a chart but what I received was very different. Instead of the dark blond highlights I selected I got this reddish orange color , and then he told then to cover up his mistake that the color selected would not have worked on my hair(even though I had had that color man...
Read More On Citysearch chelseagirl 5/1/2009 - Wonderful Salon in Chelsea"I went to A.R. for a haircut and highlights this morning after two of my friends recommended the place to me. Roger did a fantastic job with the highlights- I was a little uncertain as to what I wanted to do with my hair, but Roger seemed to know the look I was going for and steered me in the right direction. I've had my hair highlighted many times before, but this time at A.R. was definitely th...
Read More On Citysearch Karyn644 3/6/2009 - Best haircut in Chelsea, and maybe the world?I came to AR because I work in the neighborhood and needed a haircut in a bad way. Roger was very friendly and confident and I felt comfortable letting him do his thing. I don't have the best hair in the world but somehow Roger was able to make me (as requested) look like a rockstar. I got my haircut during my lunch break. People hardly recognized me when I returned and over a week later i am...
Read More On Citysearch WebbD 3/2/2009 - BY FAR..... THE BEST SALON=)I've lived in NYC for 20 years and over the first decade, I tried lots of different hairstylists. Some of them were talented but I never really found a person who offered the consistent high quality I wanted at a fair price until I started going to Roger. He's an amazing stylist - truly gifted at his craft - always delivers a great cut whether we are going with a consistent look or trying somethi...
Read More On Citysearch Naomi328 2/16/2009 - GREAT findI've been nervous about the idea of cutting and coloring my hair, but I finally decided to do it and I came to Roger. He is amazing! I left feeling like I just got a makeover from "What Not to Wear" - he really knows what he's doing. He spent extra time making sure the color was perfect and even gave me tips about makeup (which I tried when I got home, and the small changes he suggested really ma...
Read More On Citysearch Kateran8 2/5/2009 - AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUEBEWARE BEWARE BEWARE. I don't know if most of these reviews are by the staff themselves (you can usually tell when it's written as if it's an advertisement for the place which most of these on here are), but I have never received such a horrendous hair cut in my entire life (and trust me, I've received some bad hair cuts in my days). The haircut was so bad that they didn't dare charge me a red ...

Roger has been styling my hair for many years and he is the only man I trust (with his superbly tasteful and supremely competent professional opinion). Recently I tried color and highlights, again, trusting Roger's say-so, even though my inclination was to go with a different color. Once again, it was confirm...
Read More On Citysearch AliceInManhattan 9/9/2008 - Your hair dresser for life!Mike will do EXACTLY what I ask for, each time. If I feel like going crazy he will be completely honest and even dare to disagree with me, and justify why or why not I should go for a certian look. Always relaxing, great atmosphere, full attention and a lot of thought put into the haircut. It's been 2 years and I always come home with a huge smile on my face!
Read More On Citysearch rdrgzirs 7/1/2008 - Great Stylists, Great Space, Great ValueI made an appt. at AR Hair Salon, after a long and arduous search at Citysearch. I met with Roger, and immediatly I felt like I was in good hands. We spoke about what my options were with my hair and what he can do with the pictures I had brought in. I have never felt so comfortable in this intimate salon. Roger has been in the business for over 25 years, and really knows what he is doing and tal...
Read More On Citysearch rtrght 6/2/2008 - i love this salonAfter trying 4 different high end salons in the city, I finally found AR hair salon . Arthur did my highlights and cut, were incredible. I get my hair done quite often without people noticing too much, but after this I had complements for weeks. Its been 8 weeks and my highlights still look great somehow! I've found my salon for sure! I HIGHLY recommend them.

During our consultation, he listented to me very carefully and offered some great advice. He is extremely meticulous, very patient, and has a great eye. End result, I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE my hair. Bonus, he is a great stylist too. Usually when I leave a salon, my hair is poofy and un-flattering and I go home immediately to wa...

For much of my work life, I am at events where I need to look my best in front of clients and in the media. In that time Roger have consistently given me the best haircare of my life.

I am very picky about my hair and changed hairstylists several times before finding Michael one years ago a friend recommended that I try him and the first time he cut and colored my hair I knew I was home.

You can find yourself engrossed in conversations with clients you met years ago, and with whom you've developed relationships or with someone you just met.....Because at AR hair salon is not only about the haircut and the color, it's about the relationship and the sense of community and f...

Read More On Citysearch maaaa 2/11/2008 - i am amaizdeAfter 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. Roger gave my hair a great shape and a super hot cut. I get so many comp...
Read More On Citysearch mishka09876 2/6/2008 - Awesome stylistI stumbled upon this salon over 2 years ago and LOVE IT. Kenny is great. I used to have short hair which required frequent cutting to keep it clean. He would only charge me every other haircut since I was in so frequently. Now I am growing my hair out and he has done a great job helping me deal with the struggle of layers, bangs, the awkwardness, etc. He is a chelsea GEM!

This was my first experience there and it was fantastic. As I sipped on a glass of wine, hairstylist Mike went to work on my hair.

A few of my friends told me I needed to do something, and told me about Mike. He listened to my insecurities, and my insistence on "booby security", and asked what my natural color was, and what I saw myself as wanting. He made it so easy to do what I had feared all my life. Mike transformed this "mousey ...

Robert, one of the stylists at AR's 23rd street location, has been doing my hair for years. He is highly skilled, professional, honest ,and quick. He tries to get a sense of what the customer wants (not just what he thinks would be fabulous, like so many stylists).

You can expect to see famous celebrities as well as trendy "in the know" locals sitting in a styling chair next to you. Ask for Kenny. He is an expert on Japanese hair straightening, hair cuts, color and hair extensions. I couldn't live withour him. Kenny is the absolute best.
