I think Paul is the best colorist in New York. To color brown hair and give it a hint of red is tough and often looks unnatural. When I leave the salon, my hair looks subtly different, but fabulous.
I have been going to Chris Chase Salon for the past 3 years upon a recommendation from a woman I met who had the most amazing haircut. My hair stylist Michael Moreno is absolutely amazing and I can't imagine going to anyone else. Micheal's assistant Justin is equally great and together they have truly made every experience there delightful. Michael is always spot on with my cuts and color and ...
I have really enjoyed my experiences at this hair salon. I had my hair colored with Brian and cut with Shane. They were both excellent. The salon has a very inviting, comfortable atmosphere and the staff is very professional. I am a very happy new customer!
I first went to David on the recommendation of my youngest daughter's friend - hardly the way for a 60year old to find a new hairdresser! But two years and many cuts and highlights later, I can't imagine going anywhere else. The color is terrific - and feels like me, and I now have the confidence - and cut - to wear my hair long and natural! AND, I love talking to David!
This buzzy, lounge-like salon offers top-rate customer service and excellent cuts. After trying several of the city's "high-end" salons, I was referred to Rick Shaughnessy by afriend and have been coming back since. Rick is very talented, and always sends me out looking and feeling great. In addition, the professionalism and politesse displayed by every member of the staff truly set this salon...
beautiful salon with great service. one of the best cuts i got!
I went to Johnny highly recommended. He listened to exactly what I wanted and gave me a great haircut that my friends still rave about! He is the first stylist to show me how to replicate his work when I go home. Looking forward to my next haircut!
I have been going to both Johnny for haircuts and Paul for highlight for close to ten years, following them around town and now to Chris Chase Salon. Paul is absolutely amazing -- my color always looks very natural and truly perfect. I went to him after reading about him and am so glad I found him. Not only is he incredibly talented but a really great guy. Paul recommended Johnny to me and I...
Shane at Chris Chase has been cutting my hair and doing my color for over 15 years. Chris Chase is a great salon, good location and environment and the staff are all very nice. Shane does an amazing job on my color, it is always perfect and I am always happy with my haircuts. He takes the time to listen and talk about what he is going to do and the results are always flattering and fun....
I ...
I have been going to Yoonski for years (since she was at the Robert Kree location) and she does the best cuts and color! Plus - her blowout "with body" is always amazing! All of my friends now use her too!
Went to Paul Cuccinelo based on reviews here, was scared to try out, but was pleasantly surprised, he did a great job fixing my hair to the right color, a little darker than I wanted but it was the right tone, going back for highlights to him again will see how that goes, I have faith he will do a great job.
Paul has been doing my color for years and he is fantastic - totally detail oriented and gets it perfect every time. Highest recommendation.
Ive been uptown , downtown , all around the town and Ive been lucky enough to find Chris Chase Salon . Im not leaving .. Micheal is my stylist . He fixed my hair which had basically a hole cut in the side .. Mind you it had been there for some time, yes a year, and I had been all over to find a stylist who could correct this .. He did it and now my hair looks beautiful . Micheal listens , cares a...
staff is courteous and attentive ---appts are always on time and sensitive to client's schedules. shane is especially talented and would highly recommend. hours of operation are broad enough to meet client's needs
Brian completely destroyed my hair.
He told me he was going to do highlights that wouldn't damage my chemically straightened hair, and behold, sure enough my hair fell out. And he said he was going to cut it a shaggy cute bedhead look, and instead he chopped it all off, and gave me the worst layers I have ever seen in history! When I confronted him about it, not even an apology was uttered. Not ...
Walked by Chris Chase Salon the other day, looked it up online and booked an appointment for the next day. As I'm new to NYC, I have no frame of reference so the online 25% 'first-time' discount was a great incentive. I feel extremely lucky to be given Brian who took time to figure out the right color for my highlights. He also did a wonderful blow dry. The salon itself is stylish and friendly an...
I have been going to Chris Chase Salon since it opened. The salon's atmosphere is very hip, classy and clean, and the staff is very professional and the best at what they do.
Yoonski has been coloring and cutting my hair for over 7 years. When I first went to her my hair was so damaged and frankly looked awful. She has transformed it to a golden shade of blonde, and I never imagined that it...
Everything that Yoonski does is amazing from cut to color. The place is beautiful. The service (wine, coffee, tea, etc.) is so much fun. They give great neck massages while washing your hair. I only wish that I could afford to go there everyday.
I've never had a hair salon that I really loved until Chris Chase opened. I started going to Kristine for blow outs and little by little I ended up going to her for cut and color. Now I go there all the time and I love it. Everyone is so nice and my hair has never looked better. I really feel taken care of, which is so nice in this crazy city!
I moved to NYC in July and found Christine at Chris Chase quickly after. Everyone at the salon is extremely friendly (and a glass of wine when you walk in is always a nice touch). Christine has given me some of the best haircuts I've ever had. Also great: Shu Uemera products... They're fantastic and really hard to find!
I go to Rick at this salon and have been for the past 5 years. He is amazing with color!! He also listens to you about what you want out of a cut and gives great advice on what he thinks would work best for you too. Plus he is so much fun to hang out with too:) Several people have stopped me to compliment me on my hair and I always tell them about Rick & Chris Chase as I owe to them. I highl...
I love my colorist, Maureen,. and Roman is the very beststylist. Even with him moving to t he coast, I will continue to go to Chris Chase.
Chris Chase has a super cool and friendly vibe. Johnny has been cutting my hair for years and he really "gets it". I would never dream of going anywhere else!
I've been seeing Yoonski for about 8 years now since she was at Robert Kree. Most of my friends see her too now because she is amazing. In fact, I'm going to see her tomorrow and I MIGHT let her cut my hair short still TBD. I haven't cut my hair short since I was in high school and I cried afterwards. I trust Yoonski that much!
This salon gives superb care to its clients. It is an upscale salon, but is not in the least bit intimidating. The stylists give you their full attention and provide good advice on the best cut for your hair and how to maintain it. It's not inexpensive, but you at least walk out feeling like your money was well-spent.
I have been seeing Andreas at Chris Chase Salon for a few months. Andreas came as a recommendation from a close friend. I never been disappointed when leaving his chair. Andreas is friendly, efficient, and always on time, The Salon decor is rich yet relaxing, and employs a very friendly reception staff.
after a major mom-miss clairol moment i was encouraged but a friend to try david. not only did he get the pink right out of my hair but he gave me the best highlight i've ever gotten. i had been faithful to my colorist for years, but this required a specialist. the salon is top notch without being snooty and over-bearing, nobody asked me to buy products or try something new, and best of all... wi...
I used to go to Robert Kree years ago and loved it there! So I was happy to find Chris Chase. I like it here because they are quite talented and all so lovely!!
I have been going to Chris Chase Salon since my stylist/colorist David was at Robert Kree. Let me tell you...I would follow him anywhere! I am always greeted warmly by the staff and made very comfortable before I sit for an absolutely (make me beautiful) experience. Since I have always resisted coloring my hair, (I really did like my own color),I finally surrendered because the gray hair had tak...
The atmosphere is classic trend - light, space and a glass of champagne. Everyone who works there likes each other so the experience is truly a relaxing one. Those who are salon aficionados like me, know what I am talking about in terms of salon vibe. As for their wonderful professional team, Christina can take even the most challenging reds and make them warm; she is a hair stylist who can cut l...
I followed my stylist, John Kovacs from another salon and he continues to give me the best cuts. He recommended Kris Hahn for my color and she's fabulous!! I get complimented on my color all the time and couldn't be happier. they are both perfectionists and it shows in their work. Truly professional experience!
The salon is beautiful and the services are top notch.
Its amazing the amount of talent that the Chris Chase Salon has. You really feel the TEAM Mentality!
I have been a client of the salon now for 5 years, and have NEVER had any complaints.
Paul and Jenna Rule!
A friend encouraged me to go to Chris Chase-specifically John-to have my hair cut. I was ready for a change and a more up to date hair style. I've been going to Chris Chase for a couple of years now and love it. I live in CT so it is a bit of a drive but well worth it!
I first came to Chris Chase for the Keratin relaxing treatment and am totally hooked. My stylist Melissa is super awesome - tames my mid-back-length curls like a pro and does an amazing blow-out in no-time-flat. Sure prices aren't low, but you're getting super high-end style and services for a mid-level price. And salon is totally chic-cool chandelier, open layout, good music (not obnoxious club-...
When I first moved to NYC 4 years ago, David helped me transition from a short mousy soccer mom haircut to a beautiful, flattering modern cut. It took a year to grow out my hair, but David managed to give me great cuts in between, and counseled me through the in-between stages. People frequently compliment me on the styles he give me. In addition, he's consistent. Every cut I have ever had fr...
After moving to NYC almost 10 years ago, I tried a number of salons before discovering Robert Kree, Chris Chase's predecessor. What can I say? This place rocks! The talent is top notch, especially David and Cody, and the atmosphere is cool but comfy. I love this place, and you will, too.
I've been getting my hair cut by Rick for years, first at Robert Kree and now at Chris Chase. I feel so lucky to have found him-- Rick is an amazing stylist and a really great person to boot. He always knows exactly what to do with my hair to make it look great AND be easy to care for, and he listens to what I want. I can always count on a fantastic cut and a great, no hassle experience overal...
I recommend the Chris Chase Salon it has a fashionable atmosphere and talented stylist.
I've been getting my hair cut all over NYC for well over 11 years, most recently at a high-class fifth avenue salon. While my haircuts there have been good, Brian at Chris Chase proved to be even better...and at almost 1/2 the price! He gave a *perfect* haircut and, to top it off, the receptionist and everyone else working there were attentive and professional. It is also a beautiful place to ...
This is the best haircut I've had in years. David Benjamin is extremely talented. He said no matter how I dry my hair it will fall into place-and it does. I had three haircuts so far and it just gets better each time.
David is incredibly sweet, funny, and made me feel very comfortable.
I highly recommend David at this salon.
18 months ago I entered the Chris Chase Salon in a panic and full of desperation. The receptionist took the time to listen what my problems were concerning my hair and she paired me with my current stylist, Kristine Hahn. I have very difficult hair to work with, I'm fussy and particular about the way I want it to look. Every time I am there she hears what I'm saying and gives me a great cut wit...
Shane cut s and colors my hair. He is always terrific. Shane is easygoing, yet careful. He pays attention to what the client wants and is very skilled. Highly recommend.
Chris Chase Salon houses one of NYC's (if not the world's) best kept secrets: a super-talented haircutter (and more) named Oliver Steele. This man came straight out of the gifted and talented school of hair in Germany (where,unlike in the U.S.A., they don't let you get near a "real" (customer) human being until you've proven yourself for numerous years as an apprentice)... whatever they put him ...
I highly recommend Andreas, my hairstylist at the Chris Chase Salon. I have followed Andreas from his previous salon. He listens to what you want, has a passion for hair and a special hand for making hair look healthy, sexy and stylish!
I have been going to David at the salon for years (first at Robert Kree--then to Chris Chase). David is the absolute best colorist for blondes in NYC. I had been on a search for over 10 years to find the right colorist who could give me a shade that I wanted. I found this in David AND also got the best cuts ever. My hair has been in the best condition in my dyed life with him as well. Besides bei...
A cleverly designed space that charms the eye. I feel pampered the minute I check in. As a long-time Chelsea resident I'm so happy I no longer have to leave the neighborhood to get the top quality cut ,color & service I became accustomed to over the years at John Barrett and Frederick Fekkai.
Hair colorist listened to my needs and assuaged my fears.
Hair stylist was friendly and perky.
Loved the vibe at this place.
I highly recommend Chris Chase Salon, specifically John Kovacs (best cuts EVER including painlessly growing out very short hair) and Shane (perfect color ... FINALLY after many years of searching). They are both great at making sure you get the look that's right for you. Also, I got a Keratin treatement this summer from John that was "life-changing". I kid you not.
It's also a great, laid-b...
I recently had a hair cut with David. He did an AMAZING job!! He took the time to talk with me about how I wanted my hair and gave great suggestions. Everyone in the salon was really nice and helped make the overall experience enjoyable. I would definitely recommend this salon- especially David!
John Kovacs has been cutting and styling my hair for over fifteen years and I was happy to follow him to this beautiful salon in Chelsea.
I get so many compliments on my hair, that I send everyone to John. Once he's cut your hair, you'll never go to anyone else. I would recommend him to anyone because he is a master who can cut all types of hair!
Ive been to plenty of salons all over the world. chris chase is just the best. my stylist Michael Moreno, is always
friendly, attentive and pays attenion to your individual style. I will not go to another salon in new york. Highly highly recomend it.
Pretentious and obnoxious and on top of it a bad haircut! I read all these great reviews, and expected to be blown away! These reviews are obviously written by the owners and workers. The only thing accurate is that it is a beautifuly decorated salon...But who cares about that when it comes down to it! For the prices they charge, I expect a great haircut and great friendly service! Got neither o...
I have followed Paul Cucinello around for the past 10 years as he is is the best colorist and hair designer I have EVER known. To top it off he is also a really good person. I started coming to the Chris Chase Salon when it opened and I really like the place. It is so beautiful to start and the staff is warm and friendly. You are offered a glass or wine (no I am not kidding), sparkling wat...
I've lived in NYC for 17 years & have experienced the gamut of salons & stylists...John Kovacs at Chris Chase takes the cake! Not only does he embody what the salon is in & of itself - a very upscale, current ultraprofessional establishment that still manages to embody unpretentious sincerity & that neighborhood feel - he looks as good as the hair he does! No, really - gals ADORE getting their ha...
by far the 2 coolest people at chris chase, and without question the most talented at what they do. have seen both for a cut, and jessie for color.
jessie's color is better than any other stylist's i have noticed. if you're looking for a natural color, see. jessie. right. away. her cuts are fantastic as well.
jeff specializes in his cuts, men's and women's. started seeing him for blowouts...
After reading all the great reviews, I contacted Chris Chase to see if they would be willing to do my hair onsite for my wedding. The woman I spoke to was in charge of hair for weddings & events. She was very nice and eventually called to tell me she had two people who could do it. I asked about price and she said she would get back to me. I called again and she said the owner still hadn't giv...
We had the wonderful experience of getting our hair cut and colored by Melissa at Chris Chase. We have been to many salons but have never been this happy with a color and cut before!! Melissa is top notch and is able to transform a drab head of hair into something beautiful! I would recommend Melissa to anyone who wants a great haircut and/or color in a friendly, welcoming atomosphere!!!
As a Leo Astrologer and Numerologist it is essential for me to have my "mane" attended to in the finest way possible. With Leo also being a sign of loyalty, when we find something we truly like, we tend to stick with it.
If you are looking for perfection when it comes to your "mane," Shane Manieri from Chris Chase Salon is the man to make your next appointment with. He has had my loyalty for h...
In my 3 years of living in NY, I've been to over a dozen high-end, major salons, and nothing compares to the cut and color I get with Shane Manieri at Chris Chase. People have actually stopped me on the street and at events to ask me who colors my hair! He's incredibly kind and fantastic to work with and I'd recommend EVERYONE visit him sometime soon!
I expected a good experience and high end people from such a high end salon. My stylist was great, but his assistant had such a bad attitude. Very RUDE. Salon was clean and products were good. But I will not go back. Too expensive for a bad attitude.
If you want a great haircut and color go visit Melissa Usry at Chris Chase Salon in Chelsea. She was unbelievable, and before you left her chair she made you feel incredible!!! She is extremely friendly and the salon is beautiful!! Melissa is one of the best stylists in the city, so if you want a great haircut definitely go see Melissa Usry!!!!
Every single employee at Chris Chase is kind and welcoming. The place is beautiful and super clean! The area is amazing....NOT bad like the previous review. Yoonski has cut my hair for over a year and always looks great. It looks great when I leave. It looks great when I style it and it looks great when it has grown out.I have also been to others, who all have been amazing! Book ahead of time bec...
This salon lacks everything! VERY tackey decor, unfriendly staff, and a bad location! even the wine was sour! the only decent experience I had there was my haircut which did not make up ffor the atmosphere! Its directly across the street from the Chelsea housing projects! I got harassed by hoodlems hanging out on the street outside after my haircut on top of it! Not a safe block! I will not go b...
I have had my blond highlights done by Paul for close to a decade now. It was only when I made the mistake of trying out someone new(due to a scheduling conflict) that my color went from a natural buttery hue to a fried, brassy mess. Flash forward two, troubled, and traumatized years later, my hair (back to my natural color) was at least healthy enough to highlight once again. Imagine my fear whe...
Finally, I found Angelo... He opened up his own place on w 15th btw 7th and 8th Ave. I love it!! It's called Rizza Salon. I am soooo excited. Go check it out.
Shane at Chris Chase is a master! He's been cutting my curly hair for 10 years, and he knows how to deal with everything from my difficult hairline to frizzy bangs and insane cowlicks. Shane will follow your instructions faithfully, but I prefer to let him lead the way. I am easily bored, and Shane is fearless, so he's seen me through a whole spectrum of styles--from cascading ringlets to a qua...
Oh my god Chris chase is So fierce!! This is the best salon EVER!!!!everyone so like so mega talented!!! oh my god So TRENDY!!! totally trendy!!! fierce decorations!!! totally trendy and goth!!! People need to stop bad mouthing this place! it is NOT tackey or depressing!!! We beat any salon in the city! everyone else better look out!! they are a new salon and taking over the chelsea chelsea scen...
Shane has been styling my hair for 5 years now and he is AMAZING!!!. He has seen me through many phases from platinum blonde pixie cut to long soft dark hair and everything in between. Shane has always done what I've requested to the tee and given recommendations and been creative when I have allowed him, always with amazing results (btw, the best cuts have always been the ones I gave him free ...
I have been seeing Paul for like 6 years now for my color and I can honsetly say that he is THE BEST. My color always looks beautiful and natural. Whatever he does to it is amazing! I'm always thrilled to walk out the door looking and feeling like a million bucks. We honestly just sit there and laugh the entire time he's a great guy! (and I never even have to tell him what i want to do to my ha...
I love this place so much. It's so refreshing to just enjoy getting your hair done. Good atmosphere, good coffee, good wine (or champagne!) And how about the idea that when you leave, you look like a movie star? Not too bad for a cool new slaon I must say. Take your time choosing a stylist there- they're all excellent. I go to Paul C. and I'm so happy with the gorgeous brown he makes my hair ...
I have lived in New York for about a year and a half and have tried different hairdressers in the Tribeca and Upper East side area. John Kovacs definitely stands out. He is extremely talented and has had great ideas whenever I have not been able to decide on the specific cut. I also enjoy going to him as he is very pleasant and the service in the salon is great.
I RECENTLY HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO EXPERIENCE CHRIS CHASE SALON IN WEST CHELSEA. I HAD BEEN A CUSTOMER OF ROBERT KREE YRS AGO AND WAS RECENTLY IN THE CITY ON BUSINESS AND WAS TOLD THAT THE CREW HAD MOVED TO GLAMOROUS NEW DIGS ON 21ST & 9TH....NO ONE CAN WALK BY THIS AMAZING NEW SPACE WITHOUT STOPPING...AT FIRST GLANCE YOU DONT KNOW WHAT THIS BUSINESS IS...IS IT A MODERN TEA ROOM? MINIMAL EUROPEAN ...
This is a rebuttal to "The Depression Chamber" review! First of all...If you are looking for a CHEAP salon, go to Billy Bob's House O' Beauty. Chris Chase is the place to go if your goal is an environment that will excite and relax you at the same time, make you feel like a movie star and their best pal at the same time, and get a great haircut/color/whatever when all is said and done. I used ...
John Kovacs is an artist. My wife has been going to John for several years and I am always amazed with his ability to keep things fresh and current withough being drastic. I am the typical guy (had never spent more than $25 on a haircut) but after seeing the quality of his work I decided to splurge. Well it has been over three years now and I am constantly impressed with the effort that goes i...
Hi i'm a salon and spa critic who goes around the city and searches for the best and cheap if available places in the city. I went to this place when i went in i felt like i was in a dark universe of the world . Everything
thing is blck or white and chrome . I guess they try to make u look good when everything around you looks black . And when you come out everything looks ugly even you . Wel...
another devotee of John Kovacs here..... I have difficult hair and he makes it do what I want. He pays individual attention to each of my cowlicks so they fall in the right place. I tell him I don't have time to blowdry it and he makes sure I don't have to. He is also a genuinely nice guy to chat with while you sit in his chair. And the salon looks cool from the outside but is friendly and un...
I have been having John Kovacs cut and style my hair for years at Space -- But I see that now that he has moved he has a new vitality and "joie de vie." He seems really happy and in his element and a happy hair stylist makes for a happy client. He has always been a doll and I have sent many friends to him -- all who agree that he is the best. Whenever I come back from getting my hair cut I get s...
I went into an absolute panic when I heard that the Robert Kree Salon was closing... but was relieved to know that Rick, my favorite stylist of all time, would be moving to the Chris Chase Salon. The salons don't look anything alike (Chris Chase is very glitsy and glam whereas Robert Kree was very romantic and quaint) but don't let that scare you off... because the service and hospitality is ali...
Plain & Simple:
Andreas kicks a**.
I've been going to him for ages now and would follow him anywhere-- even to a shiny glitzy salon in Chelsea!!
He's the best at what he does and always makes me feel like a million bucks.
He and his assistant, Luis give un-hurried, un-matched service.
And unlike many stylists, he really listens to what you want and gives it to you.
Thanks, Andreas!!
Happy to get my hair cut at this new salon. I'm a devoted client of John Kovac's. Was wary to move to another salon, hoping it woldn't be snooty/trendy. Happy to say it wasn't. I was treated well. Many of us are devoted to John K, and want to spread the word to others. Hence the many posts about him. Let him cut your hair. You'll see.
I dutifully followed my stylist, John Kovacs, to Chris Chase Salon and was not disappointed. John is, hands down, one of the best sylists in NYC so much so that I consistently get stopped in the street about my haircut! I have referrred a number of people to him who have all become very loyal clients. His meticulous nature and great client service make him such a find but I urge you to check h...
Mala (formerly of Robert Kree) is now at Serge Normant Salon
she also has a website www.malany
Figured i'd help you out- personally David Schmagen is AMAZING and my personal favorite
I found Cody upon the recommendation of one of his clients. She boasted about how great he is with high-lights so I decided to give him a try. I have to say after trying so many salons around NY I think I've found a keeper. He was very upbeat and knowledgeable and made it a wonderful experience. My blowout was amazing and my hair felt wonderful.
The salon is very beautiful but on the simple s...
As a new client at Chris Chase Salon, I have been delighted by its restful elegance and its competent, accommodating, welcoming staff. I appreciate a great shampoo, a receptionist who graciously stored a lot of baggage for me while I did an errand before catching a train, the offer of good coffee or wine. But what brought me to Chris Chase was that the salon has bagged the best hair stylist I h...
there's way too many reivews for this john fellow. looks to me like he's writing his own reivews.
i used to go to Robert Kree for years i loved it!! It had a style, comfort and a down to earth attitude.
i followed to chris chase when my original stylist i went to for years mela moved and i can't seem to find her. michael has been doing my hair since and is great!! . although i d...
John Kovacs has been cutting my hair for the past 12 years. Even when I lived out of state for a couple of years, I would wait until I was visiting New York City to get my haircut. I trust him with any suggestions he has for my hair. My hair is thick and can get out of control easily, but John knows how to cut it so it's always easy to style at home. He is so detailed when cutting my hair tha...
I have dark brown hair. I have made my hair blonde a couple of times in my lifetime and the saga has always streched for HOURS! The search for a colorist that can successfully color my hair is over. Paul Cucinello at Chris Chase is the ONE! First of all the salon is absolutely GORGEOUS!! It made me feel very relaxed and comfortable and at the same time like I was in the lap of luxury. I was...
John Kovacs' haircuts are so good that all my friends want to find out who styled my hair. In the past other stylists never got my hair "right"--although i couldn't tell them how to make it better. John instinctively knows what looks best on someone and gives a cut that keeps its shape no matter how long you go between cuts. His look is up to date---and I always have confidence that I'll feel ...
John Kovacs has been cutting my hair for the last 10 years. I live out of state - and have tried several different salons - and no one has ever gotten it right. Styling my hair has never been so easy - that's why I go back to John - no matter how far I have to travel. He is truly a great hairdresser.
After many years of loyal patronage at another place, I followed my stylist, John Kovacs, to this salon. Chris Chase Salon is worthy of John's extraordinary talents and I'm very happy with the move.
I needed a change I wanted a new color and cut. A friend of mine told me about Chris Chase Salon. So I looked it up on city search after seeing the reviews I called and made my appointment.
First of all the decor is absolutely breathetaking. And the staff are so accommadating and friendly.
I went to David for my color and to Michael for my haircutt. To say I was impressed would be an understa...
I have been getting my hair cut by John Kovaks for 4 years and I have nothing but positive things to say about him. When you leave the salon, your hair will look perfect--he won't let you out of the chair until it does look amazing. He takes the time to make sure every hair is where it should be, unlike an assistant that may rush through a blow-dry, he really takes his time and makes sure the c...
If you are looking for a great haircut, John Kovacs is the man who'll create a look that reflects your personality and lifestyle. John listens, remembers and adjusts to your hair whims.
I'm a photographer and need a style/cut that lets me wash and finger fluff my hair, so I can shoot executives, ride a Harley and windup the evening doing the tango.
The salon is stylish and friendly. The ...
The salon is beautiful and hip, and if you want your hair to be also, get a cut by John Kovacs. He has cut my hair for 10 years and I still love his cuts everytime. First of all, my hair is very fine, wispy, and would take the average cutter no longer than12 minutes to cut. John spends over and hour and lets my hair dry naturally so he can see where each wave and bend is and how the hair is be...
When I need a boost to my self-esteem I head to the Chris Chase Salon for a haircut by John Kovacs. A new cut by John Kovacs never fails to make me feel fabulous! What's better than the feeling of a great new haircut? I always put myself if John's hands and ask him what he thinks will work for me and I'm never disappointed. He doesn't go crazy or try to change my book, but works with me to find t...
John Kovacs is a genius! I have wavy hair and it seems to always stump the lesser hair stylists out there. I usually ask for a cut that works with my hair's texture, and I end up being told that I have to blowdry it and tug on it to get it to look halfway decent. But finally I listened to my sister who has been going to John for years. He is a nice boy from Connecticut, with a rebellious edge. ...
I have been a long time client of Robert Kree salon and recently made the move with my stylist over to Chris Chase. I must say I am very disappointed! Although I absolutely LOVE everybody and the cuts are amazing, I am very disappointed with the new salon!! It?s WAY too small, the stations are on top of one another and the decor is absolutely TACKY!!!!! WHAT WERE THEY THINKING??????? Robert Kree ...
John Kovacs at Chris Chase gives a fabulous haircut. I have thick, curly, difficult hair that has failed the talents of many a lesser hair-stylist, but I always feel like a glamor-puss after leaving his chair!
I've been going to John for several years at the demand of another friend who was a devotee. This friend had grown tired of my complaints about my medium-long hair which had been a victem of a thinning razor cut about 3 months prior. He instantly made it look better and I was immediately hooked by his attention to detail. There is no in and ouy! He is honest about what would look best and his cut...
I recently visited the Chris Chase salon for the first time after my longtime hairdresser, John Kovacs, joined the salon. I was extremely impressed with the salon- everything about it-from the decor to the friendly staff and easy going vibe. After seeing John at his former salon for nearly 10 years, I immediately felt right at home at his new location. John is by far the best hairstylist I have e...
I travel all the way from Los Alamos, NM to New York to have John Kovacs cut my hair. If that doesn't say it all, not much else will, but I will elaborate. While in New York for a tradeshow, I decided to throw caution to the wind, walk into a well-respected salon and let the stylist have his or her way with my curly, unruly hair. I was lucky enough to get John. When I walked out of that salon, I ...
I have been a client of John Kovacs for three years...I travel two hours from New Jersey for one of John K's luxurious hair cuts. Having thick, wavy, long hair I found it impossible to find a hair stylist who was not intimidated by my locks. That was until I met John Kovacs. I am never disappointed with his work! He is extremely personable and talented. I have complete confidence in him...he is m...
I love my stylist Rick Shaughnessy! I recently moved to New York, was referred to Robert Kree salon, and could not be more pleased. He always does a perfect cut and color. He is friendly and down to earth and by far the best stylist I have ever had. I followed him over from Robert Kree salon and although I will definitely miss the atmosphere of Robert Kree, as long as Rick is at Chris Chase,...
I followed John Kovacs, my hairstylist of 7 years from his old hangout in Tribeca, to Chris Chase. John is great - my mom is a client as well.
The salon is fantastic - hip without being ridiculous (they dont sway with the music here ). And - they'll give you a glass of wine, etc.
Do yourself a favor, go.
I've been going to my stylist, John Kovacs, for years, and have followed him to Chris Chase from his previous salon downtown. He's quite simply the best. I absolutely cannot find a better hair stylist anywhere--I've traveled quite a lot and have gotten cuts from at least a dozen other stylists, who were all highly recommended by sites such as this, and the quality of cut was just no match. Joh...
I was recently introduced to the Chris Chase salon by one of the new stylists - John Kovacs. John came from a successful salon in Tribeca. I met John almost 14 years ago, in 1993, when my then girlfriend insisted that I upgrade from the $15 cuts that I had been accustomed to. At first, my reaction about going to a salon was "no, I am just a regular guy, my hair is not difficult to cut, and I ...
I've gone to John Kovacs for cuts for a long time now - before he moved to this salon. John is absolutely meticulous -- I'm always about to go when he wants to double-check my ends and the way that everything hangs. I also echo the things other people say about how his cuts grow out -- they look great for a really long time. With respect to the salon, it is absolutely beautiful, and, for somet...
Not only was it a beautiful salon, but everyone was awesome! I had the BEST hair cut and color here!!! Melissa Ursy was my stylist... She is hands down one of the best hair/color stylist I've ever encountered and she's really nice too. She makes you feel like a million bucks when you walk out of there. I told exactly what I wanted, but I allowed her to make some decisions on her own- the final...
I can't say enough good about Chris Chase.. I have been there twice since its birth, and cannot wait to go back again.. I've been a patron of a particular 8th floor salon in the Meatpacking District, and just started to think that my appointment running 30 minutes behind, being overcharged and not being treating with appreciation were just part and parcel of a New York high-end salon experience. ...
I have been following my hair colorist, Shane, for nearly ten years now because he rocks. I get sooooo many compliments on my hair after he does it every time I leave the salon. I've followed him from Aveda to Oscar Bond to Anagen (which wasn't so great, except for him and that garden). So you might imagine how excited I was for him when he said he was moving further west to Chris Chase Salon,...
A girlfriend of mine and I just recently went to Chris Case on Friday and it was AMAZING! The salon was TOP NOTCH and they treated us so great! The salon was so impressive, clean, inviting and relaxing! We were in there for a long time and they did not rush us out at all! The staff was super nice to us all afternoon and Kristine Hahn was FABULOUS! I have gotten so many compliments on my hair...
When I called Christopher Stanley and found out my colorist Paul Cucinello had left I almost had a heart attack! Thankfully, the receptionist gave me the name and phone number to Chris Chase. Go Paul!!! Let me tell you -WHAT AN UPGRADE! Chris Chase is gorgeous!! I couldn't believe that I was going from the old salon (which looked like a college art studio) to THIS- a sleek, high-end, modern & *g...
