Great Blonde Highlights! I have had some not so great highlighting experiences in the city, trying to find a salon I liked. I had a FANTASTIC experience at MV.

Horrible After seeing all the positive reviews on citysearch, I took a chance on this salon. When I got there the stylist spent about a total of 10 minutes on my hair. 3 minutes were spent helping another stylist with highlights while my hair was soaking my clothes through the robe and another 1 minute was spent answering the phone. I was left with a totally generic haircut. And when I said that I did... Read More On Citysearchs009 3/10/2008

Great cut I got a hair cut recently from the stylist Aaron, and must say that he did a really excellent job. For 2 years I have been spending a lot of money for cuts at a very expensive salon in midtown --but just got sick of spending that kind of money. I really do think that Aaron cut my hair just as well, and for a lot less money. I would definitely recommend him (he also gives a fab blowout). The ... Read More On Citysearchmeg3138 1/28/2008

Wonderful!! I went here for the first time a few weeks ago, and I was SO IMPRESSED! The most important thing was that my haircut was absolutely amazing, and my stylist actually spent time discussing with me what I wanted, what I liked, etc. He wasn't rushed, he took his time, and seemed concerned with how he was doing. And the staff is genuinely nice, the place is comfy. I will be going here for every single... Read More On Citysearchuesgirlie 8/21/2007
Amazing Hair Color My hair was very dry and plain. My hair color was a red. My friend recommended that I go to MV Salon and have Aron re-color my hair. I was amazed with the results.

Go to Caroline! I've done pretty much everything to my hair that you can do so I consider myself an expert. Caroline is the best colorist I've ever been to. She will tell you if something you like won't work, and suggest something that ends up looking even better. The service is not as quick as it could be-but for really gorgeous hair, I think it's worth spending a little extra time. She does wonderful blow-outs... Read More On Citysearchmissmadison 6/28/2007

Best Gateway!!!! caroline summarized my wishes and worries far more succinctly than i ever could have and promised to make me look like i had just returned from beach vacation.
Using the classic foil method for highlights, Caroline expertly took tiny sections of hair into the foil to prevent creating huge patches of color. Generally, she uses low amounts of peroxide in her mixtures and, for me, was able to skip... Read More On Citysearchtracy001 4/10/2007
Decent job but AWFUL customer service I feel it's fair for me to give this review at this point, as I have three separate incidents to relate.
First time, I go for an updo just to check the place out.

UK (or Yuki?) is awful! I will first state that if you want a decent blowout for a special during the week, this is an option. However, get the price up front, I had several experiences where I was told a different price than advertised. And I've also seen others, beside myself, argue with the receptionist about it.
The owner, I believe it's Caroline, may be a decent colorist, BUT DO NOT GO TO UK!

I don't know about the good, but I can tell you about the bad and ugly! I went for a cut at MV last week. I have short hair and wanted to go a bit shorter. I figured nothing could go that wrong with a cut- I was wrong. I would have been better off putting a bowl on my head and doing it myself- I probably would have ended up with longer bangs!!
