He is that good. I am very particular about my hair and I ALWAYS leave happy. You should go to Shane, and this salon.good stuff. Read More On Citysearchroseyred 2/19/2010
Amazing stylists/environment Loft 26 is an amazing salon, and Stacey Weinstein, the owner, is an incredibly talented stylist. The prices are reasonable and the service is excellent. I recently took a "blow dry lesson" from Stacey, and it was very helpful and fun to learn how to blow dry like a pro. I highly recommend this salon! Read More On Citysearchstefanienyu 1/14/2010
Outstanding facials Jamie's facials are thorough, relaxing, and result in glowing skin. She is accommodating and helpful with scheduling and advice. I have been seeing her for many months on a regular basis and have experienced great improvements in my skin. The Environ products are amazing as well, and there isn't any selling pressure to purchase a bunch of unnecessary items. Read More On Citysearchkupham 12/21/2009

Great Experience - Hair & Facial Loft 26 is a tremendous place for lots of things. I had been visiting John and Loren for quite awhile before they moved their skilled hands to Loft 26, and the move seemed to energize both of them.
John is a skilled stylist for men and women, and Loren is great with color.
I even tried my first facial here - Jaime took good care of me and the whole thing didn't even make me feel less h... Read More On CitysearchBrad Anderson 11/21/2009
I finally found Shane and Noelle! I was so upset when I called The Christopher Stanley Salon to be told that Shane and Noelle no longer worked there! No one that I spoke to there had any idea of how I could locate them either, but luckily after a few phone calls to friends I tracked them down. The cut and color was perfect as always, and their new home is beautiful with a relaxed atmosphere. I'm so glad I found them again! Read More On Citysearchbff212 9/20/2009
Great place for a facial Jaime is my aesthetician. She is great. She is very knowledgeable about the machines/treatments as well as the products she uses; she pays attention to what you say to ensure that the products and/or treatments do not damage your skin. She is quiet when I need to rest/relax and is great to chat with when I'm in the mood to chat. I get a facial once a month and always leave with fabulous skin - m...

Best Facial in Town Dana Chasen was recommended to me by a friend who has tried dozens of facialists across the US and says that Dana is hands-down the best. I highly recommend her Lumilight Facial with Enzymes -- it's pricy, but even my boyfriend noticed how much better it made my skin look! It somehow manages to shrink pores, firm the skin, and just make my skin look fresher, younger, and healthier. It is also a... Read More On CitysearchMichelle V 8/29/2009
Amazing Salon! i always get a little bijiggity when i go to get my hair done...crazy, I know but i like my hair long. Well, my nerves subsided the second i walked into Loft 26. The staff was warm and welcoming and the space was amazing!
Loren did my highlights. She transformed me into gorgeous blonde-perfectly sun kissed highlights!
Then, came the true test, my cut with John. He layered my hair with s... Read More On Citysearchposchie 8/17/2009
GREAT FIND I have been a client of Dana for years. She truly works miracles. She is up to date on all the latest skin care but is never pushy. Every facial I have with Dana is different because she customizes it to how my skin is behaving! I only worry that she is going to get so popular I won?t be able to get an appointment!

Wonderful Experience I have been a client of the owner, Stacey, for years so I already knew that she and her staff are amazing. I was so excited for my first experience at her new salon, Loft 26, and I was not disappointed. The space is cool, chic, and relaxing. Even though I only had time for a haircut, I am eager to return for a spa treatment. Loft 26 has it all! Read More On Citysearchsjr813 7/29/2009
Beautiful new salon for skin, hair, and makeup! My skin therapist Dana is a lifesaver! The fabulous cutting edge treatments and product lines she recommends have worked wonders improving my dry, sun damaged, aging skin. I have worked with Dana for years; I love that she is always training and continuing her education and is the most knowledgeable esthetician I've ever met. Since Dana can always answer my skin care questions, and explain how pr... Read More On Citysearcheschnabel 7/29/2009
Dana is GREAT with men's skin I'm a guy in my mid 20's who tends to have oily skin and breakouts caused by stress and limited time/knowledge to apply to my skin care...

What would I do without Loren?! Loren Basis is a master colorist. I always felt like I had boring brown hair, but Loren has turned boring brown into beautiful brunette! It amazes me what a difference a really good colorist can make. I have tried others but never felt the need to return. Sometimes it seemed like I was wasting my money. But now, I really don't know what I would do without Loren. I live in CT, and will trave... Read More On Citysearchrubygyrl 7/17/2009
Dana Chasen is Fantastic with "Mature" Skin I am 51 years old and no one can believe it (neither can I!), and my skin looks great thanks to Dana's facial and massage treatments.

Run, don't walk, to Loren at Loft 26! I am a man who started to gray in his 20's. As my hair was naturally black, I was really worried about that "shoe polish" black look that I see many men have. Luckily, my friend introduced me to Loren. I don't know what the mixture is that she uses, but it looks so natural that nobody ever questioned me if I colored my hair. She is also so funny and personable. I promise u will definitely be... Read More On Citysearchbkzoo 7/17/2009
Dana Chasen - skin care and make up genius! Dana Chasen is a skin care genius. She has been in charge of my skin and makeup for years. I trust her implicitly as she is so incredibly knowledgeable. As I am well over 50, I deal with a multitude of skin issues

Great attention John knows how to cut hair! He talks to you, asks you about your life and thankfully I have never walked out with a trendy "out of the book" haircut. He always knows whats best for me regarding the time of year, what best fits my face, and my personality. And to top it off I will get highlights or lowlights from Loren and John and Loren work so well as a team. I am never afraid of what the co... Read More On CitysearchMjS 7/11/2009

John has been cutting and styling my hair for 8 years thru many different cuts and styles (long to short). Without question no one touches my hair but John, and without a doubt I have never left the salon unhappy in 7+ years.
