  3. customer no more
    My son has had his hair cut at Soon for several years--the hipster stylists have been great with my long-haired pre-teen hippie. But we just had his hair cut by a stylist named Christine who was as pushy and customer-unfriendly as they come. Although we've been long-time customers of the salon, she insisted on charging much more than we've paid before and claimed that she personally would have to...

  4. Hip and Friendly
    Soon has a group of talented stylists that can give you the latest styles at reasonable prices. They also have great products. Very accommodating and comfortable for a hip salon in the city.

  5. Chopped it all off---in a good way!
    I used to have long locks...and guess what happened? Despite my friends' protests, I got bored and wanted to cut them off. When I went to Kristy (after my roommate recommended the salon), she followed my orders to 1) not make me look twelve 2)not give me a mom cut and 3)make my cut easy and manageable when worn natural or straightened. She succeeded in providing a gorgeous, layered cut that r...

  6. Good Cut- Ferocious Horrible Damaging Color!!!
    I went to Ruthi and was pretty satisfied with the haircut she gave me, so if you're only going for a haircut - I have nothing bad to say BUT if you are going for COLOR steer clear of ruthi she put the color in all the wrong places and really damaged my hair. it came out looking awful and wanted me to pay extra for her to fix it. HORRIBLE

  7. Emilee and Anne are amazing
    Anne Stewart has been cutting my hair at the Soon on 11th street for several years and I could not be happier with her skills, she is great at knowing exactly what it is I am seeking even though I'm sure I'm not very good at communicating it, she is also terribly interesting and very warm and inviting, she is a pleasure to be stuck in one spot for a long time with. She has also styled the hair fo...

  8. highly recomended!
    I've been going to Soon for years, and have never left there with a hair cut I didn't like. Ask for Ellen -- she is GREAT!!

  9. Excellent colorist
    I got my cut & color at Soon with Jenn in December 2006. It is the best color I every received. Jenn listened to every thing I asked for and delivered to the "T". The best part was that the color stayed for a good 4 months. Typically I need a new coloring in under 3 months. I wasn't overwhelmed by the cut or the service. It was obvious they didn't think I was their "type" of customer...I am no...

  10. lacking in customer service
    I had been to Soon Beauty Lab on numerous occasions and always seemed to get pretty decent service. Until recently...I had gone for my haircut then made an apt. to come back for a $10 allover trim. I made the apt. and booked a week in advance. The day of the apt. My stylist was running late, but I didn't mind waiting. Finally it was my turn, my stylist had asked what I was getting done that day,...

  11. Soon Beauty Lab
    I always wanted to try out this salon because it looks so clean, cute, and stylish. The reviews on this website were pretty good and sounded legitimate so I gave it a try. I wound up with Amy, a senior stylist who was really friendly and talked to me the entire time she gave me a haircut. She was good in terms of listening to what my hair type is like and what hair cuts are definitely not compat...

  12. Excellent cut and excellent rates!
    Last night was my first time at Soon and I have never been so thrilled with a haircut! I came here because my former stylist (at another salon) stopped listening to me and I'd be miserable for a few weeks until my cut grew out a bit, which is ridiculous, especially because of what he was charging me. I'm very particular about my hair, and thankfully my stylist at Soon was fantastic and very ...

  13. Pleasant experience
    I got my first haircut in New York at Soon a few days ago, and the experience was overall pleasant and enjoyable. I was greeted by the receptionist and my hair stylist promptly as I arrived for my appointment. My stylist was very friendly and patient - she listened to my requests attentively and explained to me what she was planning to do to give me the haircut I asked for. I haven't been to othe...

  14. 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...

  15. They let you have long hair!!!!
    I actually live in Boston but get my haircut at Soon because they are the only salon that actually lets you have long hair! They also give you a cool haircut but its also down to earth and pretty too (you know how a lot of places give you a "cool" haircut--a lot of times it is really generic and doesn't fit your face and looks stupid). It's pricey but to me worth it, because I actually love my ha...

  16. Decent
    I enjoy getting hard to find beauty products there. They have good selection, but there prices are a bit steep. However, I am willing to pay this for the qualtiy of product I get. I have yet to get a hair cut there, but the personnel seem personable and friendly. I would expect a great cut from them. Their product quality is fabulous.

  17. Great service and staff
    When I first moved to NYC a friend recommended this salon. While haircuts are rather expensive (well for a guy who used to live in Vermont at least) the hairdressers do great work and are friendly and experiened. The price will vary depending on who styles your hair, I pay $52. In addition you can usually get an appointment with the staff of your choice even if you call that day. This is a laid b...

  18. Flawless experience!!!!
    After my regular stylist started overcharging, I was faced with the impossible task of finding a new one. I chose Soon because it's close, and every time I walk by it looks cute and inviting. I made an appointment with Ellen on recommendation from Citysearch reviewers. Without waiting, Allison gave me an unexpected aromatherapy scalp massage before shampooing that (I swear) totally got rid of my ...

  19. Happy experience
    Attracted by the $10 trim policy and some good reviews, I made an appointment completely blind, got in the same evening---and got one of the best haircuts of my life! Carla took great care in making certain she understood what I wanted, and completely "got' my hair worries: I have thick wavy hair that can curl in wayward ways, so a good haircut is a minor miracle for me. Carla's natural hair i...

  20. Beyond Satisfied
    After having my difficult hair cut by Melissa (owner) at Soon, everyday has been a good hair day. She understood exactly what I wanted and executed my ciof just as she promised. I really enjoy going back for great haircuts, color and conversation.

  21. Yay! Great haircut!
    I was very nervous about choosing the right salon in intimidating NYC, but I made the right choice. For $45, a junior stylist gave me a great cut, no pressure just good advice, relaxed conversation and a fresh atmosphere. The tea tree scalp massage was oh so relaxing as well. I plan to return for all my mane-needs in the future.

  22. The Best
    Funky, Friedly, and Affordable. i felt like a princess as the shampoo girl massaged my scalp with tea tree oil and conditioner. Nicole designed the perfect haircut for my hard to mange curls and spent 40 minutes styling my do at no extra coast like other salons. I highly recomend this place.

  23. Great Stylist
    After my previous hair dresser left I was a bit sceptical about letting someone else cut my hair but i must say Nicole has made a very good impression on me. I first got my hair cut by her about 8 months ago and ever since she has given me nothing but great hair cuts. Exactly what I ask for each time. Great salon I recomend it highly, and especially recomend Nicole.

  24. i love my haircut
    I had a great experience at Soon. I was very hesitant to get a hair cut because my hair is a little tricky to deal with- Ellen did an amazing job. Its a few days later and it still looks like it did the day she cut it. Ask for Ellen!

  25. Soon Rocks
    Soon is a fantastic place to get a cut. I went to Carolyn who was friendly and helpful and gave me the best cut I've had in years. She listened to what I wanted and made really excellent suggestions. All the stylists and staff were friendly, young and hip. Everyone seemed happy and there is a positive, unpretentious vibe to the whole place. Soon rocks!

  26. Great!
    Great haircuts at good prices. If you are looking to get something fun and fresh this is a great place to go. This is a no frills place, so if you are looking for posh this is not the place to go.

  27. better air conditioning
    All I can is- GET SOME AIR CONDITIONING in there. As a regular customer, I have found this place has really gone down hill. It has not been kept up well at all- the place is in need of some repairs- certainly not chic or cool anymore. If it weren't for my stylist, I think I would never come back. Anytime you go in here- you die from the heat. How they think they can charge the prices they do ...

  30. Great Service, Great Price, Great Idea!!
    I made an appointment here after reading the mostly rave reviews, and I was pleasantly surprised! I had asked for a stylist who was on the lower end of their price range ($45), knowing that could be the death of my hair. That's more than I'll typically pay, but it was worth it- I WILL go back. My stylist, Ellen, was fifteen minutes late. She was very apologetic, and so friendly that she e...

  31. Swoon for Soon!
    Bright, welcoming space; friendly staff; downtown vibe; cute dogs; blissful scalp massage; sensible price; and of course hip and work-with-able cut. I trust Melissa's sense of style implicitly, and Astrud is lovely in every way!

  32. Greatest Salon for your NYC dollar
    You can get a fab haircut and it wont cost you an arm and a leg. I go to Melissa, the owner, and she is great. I have gone to other stylists there and they are awesome. It took me a long time to find a hair stylist that could do a great job and do it for a decent price. They are also fast too. For a good cut - go here.

  33. Slick cuts, cute butts
    Tempted by the eye candy and the decor, I decided to try this salon. Those chicks can cut hair! I had a great time and I got a cool cut for a good price. The $10 in-between trim is a great bonus. I will definitely go back.
