Read More On Citysearch Diana Castillo 2/25/2010 - It'll rock your world!I LOVE Karuna and Shampoo Avenue B! Karuna was recommended to me by a friend and no one's touched my hair color since! After years of wasting my time and money with hairdressers who are afraid of color I finally found my hair genius. I have bright magenta chunky highlights throughout my hair and I absolutely love it. Karuna was the first to do exactly what I wanted...give me super bright, bold co...

Read More On Citysearch wrig1 1/1/2010 - Great New Stylist - JanaanThe stylist I have known for years has just moved here from Mudhoney. She is fantastic and I will follow her wherever she goes. She has got me through 2 major changes in style. She is professional, creative, and endlessly optimistic. I also come away feeling restored. The salon was calm, efficient and had great music.
Read More On Citysearch cvinal 12/9/2009 - Attitude problemI had been to Ave B for Brazilian Keratine about a year ago. Experience was okay. I decided to go back to them this year for the same treatment. My appointment was at 6:30 pm. I live and work in NJ about 35 miles away from them. Drive all the way there and happened to run into a slow down at the Holland tunnel which made me late. I called them at 6:40 pm to apologize for my lateness and inf...
Read More On Citysearch roany24 11/5/2009 - Best Rock & Roll Salon Ever!!I went to Shampoo for the 2nd time a couple of weeks ago and I am not disappointed that I decided to go back. Harley did both my cut and color and he is truly an artist. He takes his time and walks you through everything he is going to do for you.
The other stylists are also very nice and based on the work that I was able to see them perform they are amazing as well. I would love to try Dom...
Read More On Citysearch ccoste 3/31/2009 - Jenny changed my lifeMy boyfriend went into shampoo to get a cut (that he really needed) and came home looking F-ing HOT! I had never seen such a detailed haircut on a man. It had tons of texture and it still looks good. It looks especially good after we have quality time ;-)
But, it also looks amazing when he's all clean and groomed for work. Jenny gave my man an awesome cut and I can't wait to come in and get mine...
Read More On Citysearch WaspygirlNyc 2/4/2009 - My new favorite salonI found the salon through citysearch and I was by far satisfied with the result. I made an appointment with Melissa who is very professional, kind, and will listen to what you want. She did an amazing job cutting my hair, it looked awesome! She used a straight razor in combination with shears which I have not seen before. Hands down the best salon in the area.
Read More On Citysearch SaraRN 1/26/2009 - Great one to tryThe first salon I tried in New York and was really pleased with the results, I like the option of doing something abit different with my hair so wanted to try these guys.
Harley did my hair and really I just wanted to make sure for my first time there that he understood my hair and cut how I asked. I have thick curly hair that's quite short so the layers need to be perfect. He did everything tha...
Read More On Citysearch charve 1/5/2009 - All GoodThe first time I went to Shampoo I originally went for a cut with Harley, but my old colorist messed up my color and my roots were a bright red. I asked if they could correct that. I walked out with a fabulous cut and a beautiful chestnut brown color. I have gone back several times and have used Daniel and Domini as well as Harley. They are all amazing. You can't get a bad cut or color in th...
Read More On Citysearch Moe68 12/9/2008 - the best salon i've been toshampoo is the best salon i've ever been to, and i have been to a lot of both high-end and moderate ones in several cities. harley, my stylist and the owner, was incredibly attentive - he really took his time and made sure that i would look fabulous when i left. i felt like my satisfaction was the most important thing, and that was refreshing. totally go there, it's awesome.
Read More On Citysearch harlow736 11/18/2008 - Absolute BEST Rock-n-Roll salon in Manhattan!This salon is super cool, unassuming, and comfortable. I took the F to second ave, and just walked from there. It's in the east village which is cool cuz you don't have to travel to a neighborhood you would never go to just for your haircut. My stylist Melissa really knew what she was
doing and paid alot of attention to detail while cutting my hair. The finished product was absolutely gorgeous...

Read More On Citysearch EllaJames 6/2/2008 - Great cut and color for all ages.I am writing this review for my Mom Nell who is in NYC visiting. She recently got a cut/color from Harley and was thrilled with the results. Everyone agree that her hair is FINALLY the perfect color and got fantastic cut that is flattering and that suits her face. She is 65 and it just goes to show that a top notch stylist can do everything from a very classic look to cutting egde/modern. My Mom ...
Read More On Citysearch Lucas212 4/23/2008 - Carly has left Shampoo Avenue B!
I used to have my haircut at Oscar Bond salon, and followed her when she started st Shampoo. ALthough the salon was nice, it was small and kinda out of the way for me to get to. THANK GOD she moved again and is now working at DE DERARDINI'S. Its on 21st between 6th and 7th and close to so many trains. I went there once already and it is def s step up. They serve wine and espresso and gave a ...
Read More On Citysearch lola716 4/9/2008 - Best hair Stylist Ever "KARUNA"When you visit this place definitely ask for Karuna. She is a goddess of this type of art.
You will come in with your idea and ideology of perfection, but soon enough you will find something you would never expect from yourself to emerge trough her hands.
Read More On Citysearch AliennoisE 2/27/2008 - STILL loving my hair!I went to see Daniel in September for the Brazilian treatment - I am STILL loving it. Thank you Daniel - I think about you every morning when it takes me all of 4 minutes to dry my hair straight. Having had 2 japanse treatments a few years ago, I think Brazilian is the way to go. Granted my hair has grown in a lot, but the majority is still super easy to straighten, and the big benefit is that...
Read More On Citysearch Ivanatag 2/26/2008 - HmmmmI love this place!!! I was just reading all the wonderful reviews and saw a negative review that i just HAD to negate! I find it hard to believe that ANYONE at Shampoo Ave b could be rude. I have been going to Daniel for color and cuts since it opened and they all treat me like family. I have sent 6 of my friends in and they all continue to go because it is indeed attitude free and a pleasure...

Read More On Citysearch ramnyc 2/24/2008 - I love the Brazilian!I have shoulder length medium blonde hair with bleached out tips. I don't know about the rude thing that the below reviewers mentioned, but i had an awesome experience. First off, my hair has never looked better in my life. I didn't have to use a brush on my hair for a few weeks. then after that, although i needed to blowdry my hair out with a brush, it took me 1/2 the time. It slowly grew ...
Read More On Citysearch franca11 2/23/2008 - Rockin Hair Cut!I just got a great haircut. The salon was a bit busy and I had to wait a while. I was getting frustrated until my name was called and I was escorted to the back by Harley (the owner) Within 5 minutes I had forgotten all about the wait and I began to feel very comfortable. Harley appoligized for the delay and it doesn't matter now anyway. All that matters is my new haircut. Yeow! Thank you!
Read More On Citysearch Bethany27 2/23/2008 - Not a great cut - and expensive
I went in with a great cut that had just gotten long. I asked for a trim - lift the back and slight trim on the rest. I showed two photographs of the exact style I wear. Keep the top layers long and pointed out the backwards wave on the sides - which create wings if it's too short. You guessed it. I left looking like a flying angel with giant wings out the side, the top layers lifted by mult...
Read More On Citysearch nicimahlandt 2/22/2008 - BKTI also didn't have a great experience there. I had BKT done, and I swear it only lasted about 2-3 weeks! I only wash my hair about once a week and I used sodium chloride free shampoo, so I know there were other factors involved. I also spent about $400. I can't afford to pay that kind of money for a treatment that doesn't hold. Most of the staff was nice, but the guy who did the BKT was so rude a...
Read More On Citysearch atjross 2/20/2008 - RUDE AS HE**!!Reconsider going here before you do. I went for the Brazilian Keratin Treatment twice. After paying $350 plus a 20% tip plus $30 for the special shampoo the stylist insisted I needed - you can't use a shampoo that has sodium chloride in it, I was treated horribly and rudely. First of all, the very shampoo he told me i needed since I can't use a shampoo with sodium chloride has guess what in it...
Read More On Citysearch kbw 2/16/2008 - Love my hair - love my stylistI just went in for my third haircut with Karuna - which is a record for me at a single salon. She is the only stylist who has ever been able to make my long thick hair "not too conventional" and "not too hardcore". On my last visit, I trusted her to color my hair for the first time. I always thought my hair was too dark and it would be too much upkeep for color, but she she found the perfect b...
Read More On Citysearch goldenpeacock 1/6/2008 - Great Salon overall! Super fun vibe. Stylist Karuna is a miracle worker!I just moved to New York from LA and I have been looking for a Salon and stylist that I love. (you should always LOVE your stylist). I went to Shampoo Ave B and i must say I am a believer! I went in to have the Brazilian Keratin Treatment because it is the only Salon that has a formula that allows you to wash your hair right after you get it done. Other salons have you leave the product in your ...
Read More On Citysearch celeste_lesti 11/24/2007 - Domini is the best!So my stylist Domini recently moved to Shampoo and since she is simply the best, of course I followed here there. First off, if anyone is looking for an awesome cut and/or color, you need to see Domini. Bring her an idea you have and if it won't work for you and your hair she will tell you, unlike most stylists who will do it for you, make it look good there, and then you can never reproduce it...
Read More On Citysearch melissa328 11/19/2007 - Hair like silk - Thanks Carly!I went to Shampoo Avenue B last night to have my roommate, Carly, de-frizz my hair using the Brazillian hair straightening treatment. I was enticed to try this out after hearing how relatively fast and non-damaging this process was, as well as looking forward to super straight silken hair. The two hours flew by as I was chatting with Carly, checking out the cool art, and listening to some really ...
Read More On Citysearch ally07 10/31/2007 - Shampoo Avenue BDaniel did a magnificant job of straightening my hair using the Brazilian Treatment. He was knowledgeable about the process and made sure the area was well ventilated. Everything was washed out so that I don't have to keep it in my hair for four days like other places I've gone to. Daniel was a total professional throughout, and I walked away believing that every penny was well spent. In fact, t...
Read More On Citysearch dorf 10/18/2007 - i love Carly!!!Carly gave me my first GL's (Great Lengths hair extentions) and i LOVE them! I gave her an idea of what I wanted and she knew what to do. I'm on month 2 with them and they are awesome, I can't wait to try other styles, I'm a bit of a hair fiend, I need to change it constantly, and she always leaves me with happy results.

I LEFT WITH THE BEST HAIR EVER!Shampoo is my new favorite place. i went in to get a hair cut from stylist Carly Lagoda, and i left with my most favorite haircut ever. Carly paid attention to everything i said and gave me exactly what i wanted. She is highly skilled, friendly, and very amazing. ps you cant beat the location and the prices. so so so great!
Read More On Citysearch liab2786 10/15/2007 - Two strikes and I'm out...The first time I went to Shampoo I had a great experience. Great haircut and not too expensive. About two months later I was ready for another cut. I called the salon at 1pm and made the appointment for 4pm. The receptionist told me it was no problem. So I made my way from midtown to the East Village on one of the hottest days of the summer and arrive right at 4. The receptionist then tells me (...
Read More On Citysearch jsmitty78 9/12/2007 - Utterly frustratingI arrived promptly for a 6pm appointment. A receptionist looked at the book and told me I had cancelled. ?? After discussion in a different language, the manager stated that they had made sure that it was me and they cancelled the appointment-five minutes after I made the original appointment. I asked how they made sure (because I hadn't cancelled) and she had no answer. I suggested that pro...
Read More On Citysearch mbeeney 8/25/2007 - Great Salon, Cool Tunes, and Awesome Staff!!!!!!!!When I walked into Shampoo Avenue B I didn?t know what type of haircut I wanted. My hair can be difficult at times to deal with and I wanted something that looked great and was easy to manage. Harley knew exactly the type of haircut that would suite me and he delivered. He?s a great stylist!! The salon itself was real cool and they had great tunes playing. I have never been to a salon that was so...
Read More On Citysearch joe0218 7/20/2007 - Amazing highlights and the best hair cut I've ever had.This place rocks! Great tunes & cool people. My appoinmnet was with Harley, not only is he a really cool guy, but he is also a gifted stylist. My highlights were beautiful and I have never had a better hair cut. My experinace here was more than I expected.
Read More On Citysearch criggerlothringer 7/17/2007 - Friendly, Fabulous, Funky and Fair PricesI found this salon by walking past on a neighborhood errand. That was two haircuts, a couple of referrals and three color appointments ago. I'm hooked! I love the customer service (they remembered my name!), the talent (Daniel is my hair hero!), the atmosphere (hip tunes instead of sleepy spa music and "real" people who don't wince if you walk in wearing flip flops instead of couture), Aveda prod...
Read More On Citysearch melnyc31 6/22/2007 - The best salon in lower manhattanThe first time I visted Shampoo I wasnt quite sure what I wanted to do but they provided me with a variety of up to date look books as well as a cup of coffee. I ended up letting the stylist steer me in a direction based on his opinion of what would look best for my skin tone and face shape. I was a bit nervous but ended up loving it and now I won't go anywhere else. The last time I went in there...
Read More On Citysearch eastside001 6/22/2007 - Like a Work of Art.I've never reviewed anything online before, but i thought i should really let people know how wonderful this place is. I went in looking to spice up a bland shoulder-lenght cut, asked for something natural and easy to maintain (i'm not big on product or frequent costly haircuts), but that had some real edge. I like an artsy flare, and this place looked like somewhere I could find it. I asked for ...

Three weeks prior I had gotten a haircut that left my hair frizzy/out of control and I was losing hope that anything could be done to save it. I called Shampoo Avenue B after reading the last citysearch review (got an appointment the same day) and am so happy that I did. Harley cut my hair and did an amazing job! He...

Harley (owner) cut my hair himself, and even suggested touch of color and it came out so beautiful. i couldnt be more impressed, as i feel stylists are always afraid to go the extra mile scared to leave a comfort zone, and that is definately not what...
Read More On Citysearch sweetesthoneybun 4/9/2007 - I have never loved my hair more...I may never have my hair cut or colored anywhere else. Shampoo is a wonderfully chill place (with great music playing while you get your hair did! ) The staff is very cool, very down to earth, and they really take the time to listen and make sure you're getting exactly what you want. Great, great place.
