great, affordable cut I've gone here twice to Connie and have been happy with my cut both times. I was going to Xac Anthony on 19th for a while and the cuts were $115 on the low end - my cut at Soon is only $60. They seem to do a good job with short cuts and color as well, although I don't require either of those. I would definitely recommend this salon to someone looking for an inexpensive, quality cut.

Awesome massage I was recently at your salon and I have to say that the assistant Joey gave me one of the best shampoo massages I've ever had. I had a bit of a headache right before my appointment but the treatment I received at the salon took that away. I would highly recommend this salon. Be sure to ask for Joey for your shampoo.

So-so experience A few months ago I went to Soon after reading great reviews on Citysearch and NYMag's websites. I arrived on time but still had to wait 15 minutes just to get a shampoo.
I made an appointment with a mid-level stylist and explained that I wanted layers and bangs. As my hair started growing out I realized that the cut was very uneven - the hair on my right side of my head was two inches longer th... Read More On Citysearchmcjays199 6/17/2009
What happened? My husband and I got services in Dec. at the same time. He got a great haircut and wanted to make another appt. He couldn't remember the stylist's name, but I called the salon to have them retrieve the info from his last appointment. Somehow, both of us disappeared from their calendar. No names, phone numbers, nothing. The person I was speaking to on the phone just said we weren't in the sys... Read More On Citysearchlittlepumpkin25 4/10/2009
LOVE THIS PLACE! I went to Soon going off reviews from City Search and Yelp, and was very pleased!
The day I called I to make an appointment the receptionist told me they had a range of stylist's available from 50 to 80 dollars. I opted for an experienced level stylist which was $70. I went in and met my stylist named Kaitlin, she was super cool and very friendly. We consulted about my hair cut for about 10 mi... Read More On Citysearchstephanie998 11/5/2008
Great customer service This is a review of HOW Soon treats their customers, as I have not yet had them cut or style my hair (due to having a ridiculously crazy schedule). I was running late for my appointment with Anne and being the responsible stylist that she is, decided to not try to rush me through but rather use the time (unpaid) to consult with me about what I would like. She spent a good 30 minutes with me talki... Read More On Citysearchbrookkan 10/22/2008
Janessa's in Chelsea now? Is she still tapping her foil packets? She's different like that. Seriously though, Janessa's great and she takes her work seriously. A very professional stylist with lots of style. You can't go wrong with that girl. Read More On Citysearchkeithkristofer 6/6/2008
Best Blonde In New York I just has Janessa Flowers do my highlights and cut. I have never had such an amazing colorist touch my hair! Seriously, I never take the time to write reviews but her dedication and talent reallly impressed me. To often you get mediocre service and pay high prices. Her partial foil and cut ran me $195. Which is a steal considering after 4 weeks my blonde still looks fantastic. She got extremely ... Read More On CitysearchSarahlovesthecity 2/22/2008
Soon West Rocks! I live in the neighborhood and I have been walking by Soon for 4 years. I always assumed with its sleek decor and chic staff, that the prices would be astronomical, much like some of their neighbors. On further investigation on their website, though, I learned that a senior stylist charges between $80-$90 for a cut. I booked with Jessica and could not be more pleased with the service she gave m... Read More On Citysearchgoldenba 10/17/2007
Spotty I have had two great highlighting experiences at Soon - one with the owner Melissa who is just great - however the rest of my experiences have been less good - my first haircut done by a junior stylist ended up looking good, but was much shorter than I had asked for. The most recent visit resulted in a color job that was far darker than i had asked for and truly don't like at all along with a ver... Read More On Citysearchtory06 11/29/2006
Soon Gave Me Peace of Mind A few days ago I went to another very highly rated salon in NYC. When I left, the cut looked all right, but since I never style my hair, it looked different when I let it air dry. It turns out that I don't like choppy cuts with chunky layers. I don't blame they stylist since I had given him a lot of freedom (I was tired of my bland hair), and on someone else it'd probably have been fine, but when... Read More On Citysearchggfan 10/31/2006
Life changing experience...seriously. This place saved my life! Soon was reccomnded to me by a friend after my then-boyfriend and I decided my hair "situation" had become intolerable. Let me explain. I am a gay man who has had extremely long hair for most of my adult life. This never seemed to be a problem for me dating/hooking up-wise however, until I moved to New York two years ago. After a month or so of failed hookups it became G... Read More On Citysearchptownexpress 10/17/2006
worst haircut ever! I came to Soon after recommendations from friends (who have really cute hair) with high hopes and a lot of confidence. I left two hours later with an awful haircut and a lot of frustration. I requested a senior stylist when I made my appointment and realized soon after I sat down that my senior stylist was only recently promoted. She apparently did not listen or did not hear what I asked her t... Read More On Citysearchserveert 8/28/2006
Carla's where it's at! I have had my hair cut at both Soon's east and west locations. I prefer the west because of it's close proximity to the R/W/F/V on 23rd street. Carla is my stylist, and the stylist of two of my friends. We all adore her. She is an absolute sweetheart with a knack for GREAT hair. She always makes sure you leave with what you want. AND...you just can not go wrong with the 10 dollar in-between ... Read More On Citysearcheyenoeverything 5/10/2006
GREAT HAIRCUT! I took my boyfriend here last week for his first real haircut in 5 years and they did an outstanding job. His hair has been long for 4 years and he was ready for a big change and she was very patient and made sure she gave him what he wanted and gave him the perfect short cut. This place is outstanding, especially considering it's $50 less than everwhere else in the area! Read More On Citysearchlauryntrk83 3/21/2006
decent cut; unfriendly service I went to Soon West on the recommendation of friends who loved their experiences at Soon in the East Village. My stylist was very rough with my hair and was generally glum and unfriendly. Overall, it was an unpleasant experience. I think the cut I got was exactly what I asked for, but I can get my simple style done at many other salons in Manhattan. I would go somewhere else where service is ...

great This is a really good place to go to your hair cut. The inside is pretty neat and the staff was all super friendly. It cost about $60 but the hair cut was really good and it has been growing out well too, a godd sign of a good hair cut. Read More On CitysearchCitysearch User 10/10/2005
Great cut and color! After many bad hair experiences, I was recommended this place by a friend. I got a fantastic cut and gorgeous color for a relatively reasonable price. I went to Jessica, and she's very friendly and definitely knows what she's doing! Read More On Citysearchannieg917 9/30/2005
Great place - great cuts I've been looking for a salon and a stylist for many years now. Having gone through awful to worst places in NY (in all price ranges), I stumbled upon this little place and fell in love. The atmosphere is awesome, my favorite stylist is incredible (although all of them are amazing), and the prices are low comparatively to the service you get. Strongly recommend this to anyone, whether you're look... Read More On Citysearchmariamchka 9/16/2005
Excellent place to get your hair done I had to get my hair cut in a hurry for a job interview the next day. They accomodated me at 8 at night and gave me an outstanding hair cut for only 60 bucks plus a hefty tip from me.
Shelli-Rose, she's my girl. Ask for her!!
There's also a location in the East Village. Read More On CitysearchCitysearch User 8/31/2005
double your pleasure As a long time client of the east salon, I was a little shy to go to the Chelsea shop. Getting to the new location was easier though with so many subway options close by. Of course, I was thrilled with the space, it is big and beautiful. The service is always exceptional. I was happy to find my favorite stylist, Elena, works at both locations. Go check it out, you wont regret. Read More On Citysearchlivia1971 11/5/2004
