  5. the only salon I trust
    Carolyn is absolutely the best stylist I have ever had and I would be lost without her! She has had advanced training at Deva in NYC, and it really shows! Carolyn knows how to listen and how to communicate; it is obvious she enjoys her clients.

  6. Curls made easy
    Laura was fantastic. She was extremely consultative and helpful with her suggestions. She explained the dry curly cut process as she went and the day-to-day techinique. I'm very low maintenance and rolled my eyes at the suggestion of all the scrunching and such. But I figured I'd give it a go. This is about the first time in my 41 years that I've been really excited about a cut. My hair now curls...

  7. Great curly cuts!
    Four times a year, I travel from Hartford, CT to this salon to see Teresa for a cut and color. She has made my traditionally knotty/frizzy hair look like it should - a headful of luscious curls. She gives her full attention to me when I'm there and my color looks great too! I'd reco her to anyone!

  8. See Carolyn for curly hair
    Carolyn at East 42nd Street Salon is the very best at working with curly hair. I saw her for a consult after a bad cut (curly girls get way too many of those), and she gave me a few tips to deal with my hair while the cut was growing out. The tips, just a couple, were great, and helped me like my hair and only want to wear it curly (instead of the fall-back, round-brush blow-out). Then, when my h...

  11. Finally, Someone to Trust for Long hair
    I finally found someone who knows how to cut and style long hair. CHERI is my trusted hair stylist and color artist -- she knows how to cut, loves to do it, and also has given me the best color/highlights that not only look amazing initially, but evolve beautifully. I am a brunette and typically get blond highlights. She stands behind her work and LISTENS to what you need. I found her by chance...

  15. Cheri Webster - Excellent Stylist
    My wife and I have both been having our hair cut by Cheri for over two years now. Cheri is a detail oriented, meticulous stylist who always provides an excellent cut. She listens to what we want, and provides us with excellent service. We both highly recommend Cheri to anyone looking for a stylist.

  16. Cheri Webster is a great colorist and cutter, the best!
    I visit Minneapolis several times a year and I always make an appointment with Cheri Webster for a cut, color and a deep conditioning. She works on one person at a time and gives her undivided attention to each client. She is very knowledge about hair, products, and is creative in her styling. The best in town

  19. best facial ever
    I've been seeing Gen A for facials and eyebrow waxing for over a year, since she was in cosmetology school. She's a recent addition to the salon. I followed her to East 42nd Street Salon, because she's the only one I'll have do my facials. The massage portion of her facial is amazing. And she really knows what products to use so she doesn't irritate my skin. I've never broken out after one o...

    Go see Summer!!! She is soooooo amazing...getting a brazilian is about as relaxing as going in for your annual exam, but I think I have found my gal. I felt very comfortable with her from the start, she was efficient and very thorough which is HUGE for me. There is nothing worse than getting a wax job and getting home to find hair left behind!!! So, if you are on the market for a wax gal, you fou...

  22. Carolyn Saved My Curly Head
    I'm 53 and up to last year have had maybe 12 haircuts I didn't do myself. I gave up on going to salons after several disasters. My hair is very tight curls but fine. When it's wet I look like I'm balding. I recently got a job where I need to look professional. I despaired of ever having suitable hair but decided to try Carolyn at East 42nd Street. We talked about what I wanted and frankly, I ...

  23. Curly-haired girls beware - pretentious attitudes and mediocre cuts abound
    I have curly hair. I tried East 42nd for the first time a while ago because they claim to be the place to go for curly hair. I thought the cut was OK and the service was fair (somewhat pretentious and I-know-better-than you) - and I felt extremely rushed. When I scheduled my appointment, I mentioned that my hair often took a long time to cut. They said not to worry (they're "professionals") etc. ...

    Brazilians by Summer are awesome! Cleanest and most painless wax I've ever had--and that's 10 years ! I honestly hadn't had good experiences with Hard wax but Summer was so skilled, I hardly felt a thing and the job was certainly done!

  25. Always a great cut
    I have been going to Teresa's salon, the East 42nd Street Salon, since it actually was on East 42nd street. I have hard hair to cut. It is thick in back, very, very thin at the temples, and wavey, but just on one side. It is also thin and fly away. I had pretty much given up on getting a decent cut - I figured I just had bad hair. And then I went to Teresa. I looked great on my very first...

    I have been a customer of Teresa's for over 10 years, but I can never remember the phone number so I come to this site to get the number. That is when I noticed the review that someone was unhappy with her cut. So I just wanted to say that I have always been happy with Teresa's cuts, and love her personality. Every time I get a great cut and she makes me laugh. I tell you it is a good combina...

    I had tried Ouidad (a curly hair salon in New York) and was not impressed. I have searched for stylist after stylist to cut my hair, and my journey ended at East 42nd Street Salon.

  28. Avoid this salon if you want a stylish cut
    I went to this salon based on the CitySearch positive reviews and the fact that they are promoting themselves as curly hair specialists. I am extremely disappointed in the level of service I received and the results of three haircuts from Teresa, the owner of the salon. Like many people with naturally curly or wavy hair, it's been a challenge for me to find a stylist who not only loves my hai...

    I'm here to talk about NATALIE and ... you guessed it... the hair 'down there'. I'm 45, divorced, and have had one LTR since my divorce. Then there was a 2 year hiatus, and then.... I met a hottie fireman. He was so 'well-groomed' (i.e. 'manscaped') that I started to feel self-concious about my unkempt downtown area. Being the otherwise hip and trendy girl that I like to think I am, I decide...

    I went in with a fuzzy head of curly hair and let Theresa go at it. This is, by far..the BEST haircut I have EVER had!! This new method of cutting curly hair is wonderful and Theresa knows just what to do for your hair..after looking at it and asking YOU what you would like. It will be much easier for me to get there after the road construction is done, but the extra travel time is definitely w...

    I have been to this salon twice for haircuts and have left completely satisfied both times. Cheri has done a really great job with cutting and styling my somewhat difficult hair!

  32. DON'T GET YOUR NAILS DONE HERE
    I've never gotten my hair done here, and it sounds like people like it, but whatever you do, DO NOT get your nails done at this salon. I think it's safe to say that they have their receptionists doing nails with no experience. I went there to get a french manicure for my wedding day with my sisters and we had a horrible experience. Our manicurists were Amanda and Laura (I'm pretty sure the onl...

    I visited the 42nd Street Salon after reading reviews from other users on this site. I had been straightening my hair for 35 years ( I'm 50 years old ) and had come to the end of my rope as far as trying to pretend I had staight hair.

    Theresa was able to understand exactly what I had in mind for my little son's (curly, shaggy, preschool) hair style and gave him his best haircut yet.

  36. Best Haircut for Curly Hair in Mpls
    I just went back to E 42nd Street Salon for a second hair cut. My hair is curly and it has been difficult to find a stylist who really knows how to cut my hair. The first time I went in, Carolyn cut my hair and showed me how to care for it. She cut it dry, which was a first for me. But I loved it. The second time I went in, Teresa cut my hair. She cut it wet and the style is just as good as my fi...

    The salon is nice and my hair looks good, but the stylist (Carolyn) doesn't really listen to my requests. I've been to her a few times and it's as though she is going to do what she wants to do regardless of what I say because she knows better. I went in for a trim and when I commented on how short it was she said no it's not. If you don't have a haircut in mind when you go in and have an extra h...

Very honest which I appreciate. I'll be back in a few months. See you soon, Angie!
