After 15 years of friendship what do bff's give each other for the holidays?
I thought I was brilliant giving my friend a Kindle so that she could read whatever she wanted whenever she wanted.
However, I received an envelope with cash and a John Sahag business card with Gabriel's name.
Who needs the newest technology when with an hour of snips you can feel renewed, restored and sexier than you...
I walked in looking for a change in my color, Doug Macintosh the color director changed my hair. He took me to a beautiful chocolate brown from an orange blonde, then he put some carmel highlights in throughout my hair,so natural.
I tought my hair couldn't feel or look better,until he turned me on to one of his AMAZING KERATIN TREATMENTS. My hair went from dull frizz to amazing silky hair with z...
I am a youtube freak- I search all kinds of stuff on it every day and am never disappointed.
Last week I was searching out hair stylists and found a clip titled "John Sahag Hair by Gabriel".
I liked the fact that the clip wasn't just tons of celebrities but there were a lot of every day women with
realistic cuts that looked classic and sexy. I called the salon and got an appointment with Gab...
Was staying at the Palace and the concierge had recommended Karmella and thank god they did because my hair looked fabulous. I was so happy at the event I danced all night. I felt like a superstar.
l came home from school last weekend after breaking up with my boyfriend of 2 years. I was on my second bag of oreos, watching The Notebook for the 3rd time when my mom announced that she was taking me to her hairstylist for a new look. OMG- as if that could make me feel better. I told her that I was not going but she guilt tripped me into it.
When I met Gabriel, I was surprised that my mo...
I met Valentino Longo last weekends that changes my whole life.I feel like super star now. Because everywhere I go, people stop me say "where did you get a hair cut? It is beautiful and glamour!" Valentino is the most amazing styilist that I have ever met. The money that I spent is so worth it.I think every women MUST invest their money to see Valentino you are going to have life change experienc...
I went to Gabriel, my stylist at John Sahag, and brought in photos of a celebrity with a certain cut and said I'd like that style. He had a thoughtful discussion with me about what would be slightly different about it for me, given my own hair length and the challenges I would have maintaining the look. We both agreed to go ahead and he then skillfully and artistically worked on my hair doing a d...
I went to Sahag yesterday with baby fine, limp hair with no style. Karmela looked at some pictures I brought in and quickly determined which were good for me, and which were not. Karmela is a perfectionist and took her time to make sure that every hair was cut just right. I felt like a completely different person when I left there. My hair was stylish and had tons of volume.
Bonus, the...
in preparation for my boyfriend's visit this coming sunday, on Friday I went to a minimalist japanese salon around the corner from my place to get my hair cut. I wanted something special, but didn't want to go to severe. What I got was a total disaster. I went home and cried. It was so awful. Words can't describe how monstrous I looked. Panicked, I called up John Sahag Salon that morning and th...
ok- me. depressed. no man. same life. turning 35 this week.
what to do?
my friend: "call sahag, see gabriel- get a new look."
me- "that's your advice? what's the number?"
tues afternoon at sahag- meet

40 minutes later me FABULOUS!! BOOTYLICIOUS!!
CAN'T BELIEVE IT!!
today 35. no man. no worries. i'm
amazing. happy birthday to me.
best cut in the ...
The best haircuts in New York. You may spend longer having your hair cut here, but you have superb craftsmen. Although I have often had to work with other stylists for my job, whenever I am paying for a cut myself I had straight to the John Sahag Salon.
So here I am at the bar in the Soho Grand with my boyfriend of 3 months when I notice this girl keeps looking over at us. I ask him if he sees her staring. He quickly dismisses it -which convinces me that she must be an old flame that he is ignoring. Regaining my composure, I pretend not to see her anymore and continue being fabulous. Suddenly, out of the corner of my eye I see her approaching ...
Gabriel understood my hair from the moment he touched it.
He instantly recognized my hair challenges and patiently listened to me as I confided to him about my own inability to replicate the fresh cut results.
He gave me a new look that reflected my personality with a rock 'n' roll chic.
He also taught me a ten second styling tip that works every time.
Gabriel-you rocked my hair worl...
I just returned from my second visit to John Sahag to have my hair cut and styled by Valentino. I couldn't be more pleased. The salon is very convenient for me because I work in the same building but despite this, I was a little nervous about trying something new after being with the same stylist for 12 years. I read a very positive review about Valentino on another website and decided to make a...
I went to john Sahag for the first time about six months ago. I received great service and a fantastic haircut from Valentino. He was professional and not to mention very handsome. . I have had nothing but great service from everyone but Valentino's has a unique touch and i will recommend him to everyone .July
I been going to the John Sahag Salon, for quite some time since I returned to New York this is the place where I know for sure where I will get my haircut and feel good about it!
The craft men at the John Salon are extremely focus and hard working individuals, they know what they are doing and I must say if a person goes into a hair salon with a I know more that this hair dresser than go and c...
I am waiting to my own personal economic stimulus package to kick in.
So I'm not going away on a vacation. But to "treat" myself I went for a haircut with Gabriel after reading about him.
I have hard to manage hair (i gave up years ago) and he gave me the perfect cut that I can do on my own. Everyone says I've never looked so good and this cut was totally designed just for me!
This may b...
what is a girl to do with this recession?
I've traded down my lancome mascara to one by l'oreal
i'm touching up my pedicure so that it lasts a full month and when i have dinner out i now request a doggie bag for my imaginary pet but the true beauty in my newly imposed budget lies in my haircuts- cuts by gabriel look great for at least 3 to 4 months while i have freinds that need to keep u...
My name is Jut ta and i am a stylist at the john sahag workshop and i must disagree with a couple the thongs that brenda b's has written about Valentino at the workshop. Valentino is a professional and he would never do such a thing. The people at the workshop take pride at being a team. So i am asking this website to take this review that Brenda B. wrote throw it in the trash (where it belongs)
...
I went on a recommendation from a friend because my long hair had become incredibly blah and grey. I got thorough consultations on what I wanted, and the end results were truly amazing. I got long gorgeous layers and subtle highlights to cover up my gray. I am 30 years old and when I left the salon I had 20 yr old hair due to the highlights. It seemed thicker, glossier, and had great shape. ...
I live in Boston and I'm yet to find a salon like John Sahag Workshop. My best friend lives in Manhattan and has been going there for years. She has been begging me to try it for so long. I finally gave in and boy am I glad I did. In my 28 years I have never recieived such a good hair cut. I am so incredibly pleased with my experience there and will continue to drive 4 hours to get a haircut....
Just came back from my hair cut with Thomas. Great job! Everyone was so friendly and made me feel like I belong. It's not one of those places that gets you in and out. He took his time, and made sure my hair was done right. I even got a Diet Coke served to me!
I followed a recommendation from a friend, who has been raving about her haircuts and color at Sahag, Workshop and I am so happy I did. The salon is beautiful and serene -and the service is great.
I walked in with dull "frizzy" hair and walked out with beautiful shiny highlights. My hair never looked so good. Thank you so much Frank. You heard what I said and you a a true artist. You now ha...
If you are dying to find a place with stylists and colorists that are truly artists...look no further.
I love the drycutting process - I got the cut that was perfect style for me and it has been super easy to maintain. I was also able to feel young and vibrant again with the best color I have ever received...I will be back before summer is here!
I have never received a better hair cut in my life - seriously! I've had cuts that I liked while in the salon, but the next day my hair is just as unruly as before. After having it cut at Sahag, I don't even need to style my hair - it just falls into place. The stylists are truly artists and by using the dry-cut technique they give you a real "custom" cut that works perfectly for your hair type, ...
I have been to so many salons and walked out unhappy, here I always get what I ask for and my hair cuts and highlights always come out great. I would recommend Sahag to anyone who wants a great experience and doesn't want to spend the whole day at the salon.
I never thought that I would travel 2 hours to get my hair
cut - but now that I have have my hair "dry cut" at the Sahag Workshop - I never want to go to another salon.
I have always had issues with my hair - but now it always looks great. A great haircut makes the difference. I have actually tried several different sylists and have had a great experience with each of them.
Its a wonderful e...
everyone who works there has a passion for hair and wants nothing more than to make you look and feel wonderful. when i left sahag, i felt like a million bucks.
I just love coming here because of the great staff and cuts-where else is it so open on Madison Avenue?
Nice people and altogether overall great styling.
starbucks right downstairs and around the corner from Saks!
Who could ask for more?
I just adore the cuts I get from Gabriel. A consummate professional whose shears give a cutting edge look. He always asks for my ideas and then I let him have at my hair.
A different look is what my goal is-I am not the same person I was the previous appointment.
Gabriel gives great cuts.
I can't wait to treat myself for Valentine's Day!
......That is how I felt after one haircut with italian stylist, Valentino Longo. Valentino is a master at his craft. His creative talents are fresh, up-to-date, sophisticated and very high end. Valentino Longo is to hair what Valentino is to couture fashion. Like DaVinci and Michaelangelo, his passion for his work and his clients are evident in his masterpiece! I highly recommend Valentino ...
i am a long time client at john sahag. i have been getting my hair cut there for years. i have been going somewhere else for my color. About 6 months ago my stylist suggests to me that i might want to try a colorist at the salon. at first i said no way
as he had a reputation that was bad. finally i gave in, my stylist insisted. i get color on and while im waiting for the color to take the colori...
I am a client of the workshop on the Monday teaching days and every time I go in I am more and more impressed with my cut. Also, every time I am there, Johnny is teaching and always putting his two-sense in the cut. The dedication and the love that he gives not only to the "guests"(which I love that we are not only clients), and to the ones he is training is an experience you have to feel at leas...
I LIVE for Karmela and her CHIC cuts. I am constantly asked by fashion/beauty editors and industry pros along with misc women AND men on the street: "who cuts your hair?" At top LA salons (where I might get a blowout) and at top salons in NY (where I get color), I am constantly asked: "WHO cuts your hair?" Through her extraordinarly techniques, Karmela has transformed my hair. People think it is...
Sahag is a great salon. If you go, be sure to ask for Valentino!
Valentino has been cutting my hair for two years now. The cuts are consistently of an extremely high quality. He tries new techniques - like dry--cutting - and always gives me fabulous "do's" that not only look great when I leave the salon, but grow out so nicely.
In particular, there was one time when he gave me the most a...
Valentino Longo is brilliant. Want the perfect haircut? Go to John Sahag and ask for Valentino. He has been cutting my hair for 3 years and I have received so many compliments during this time.
I wanted to start the new year fresh so I went to Valentino for a great dry cut. I love the dry cut method because it is absolutely precise. it looks perfect blown out or air dried!
The salon is on Madis...
I have had many average or good haircuts in my lifetime but have never had one that really made me feel fantastic or garnered as many compliments as when I get my hair cut by Valentino. He has been cutting my hair for close to three years now and I couldn't imagine going to anyone else. I have referred many friends to Valentino and every one of them have been extremely happy with the results. ...
If Raphael ever decided to leave New York I would have to follow him, as I can never imagine letting anyone else cut my hair. I have introduced most of my friends and all my family to him. He gives everyone the perfect cut for their face shape, body type and hair type. I can go 4 months without cutting my hair and it still looks good. He is truly an artist and the nicest person you will ever...
THE BEST !!
MY fav. Salon ever! Love going here its so RELAXING and gorgeous!
Karmela Lozina is the best ive ever had! This woman knowsssss her stuff! EVery time she does my hair i get the most compliments. I get it done when i go to special Top events in NYC and every day haircuts .. I will never change or go to someone else after her .. SHE IS AMAZING! not only that shes trendy and HAS the...
I was having a horrible end to last year with losing a job and struggling during the holiday madness. I knew I had to start the new year off, well... NEW. I decided to treat myself to a day of pampering, which included a new hair style for 2009. I go to a lot of clubs and had heard everyone talking about "Karmela at John Sahag" so I called for my appointment. From the moment I met with her I ...
For the past five years (yes, I counted them), I have been blessed with Gabriel to cut my hair.
Although the economy is crashing down around my head, the one investment I am willing to make is a cut by Gabriel. It's also a sure thing.
Gabriel's experience gives him a leg up-he knows how to make a cut look cutting edge without looking ridiculous. He listens to me completely. However I have...
Johnny at Sahag is extremely professional and diligent, knows his craft and gave me exactly the haircut that I needed: extremely precise, corporate-professional, but with some texture. Johnny's dry-cutting technique convinced me immediately because you can see how your hair falls while you are getting your haircut. After I returned to the office, several people complemented me on my haircut, even...
I was having a bad day and decided to take the day off from work and get back to being myself. My first stop was Sahag, after reading all these great reviews, I thought that I would give it a try. So I called, made the appointment, and next thing you know I was in the chair! While sitting there I was noticing a really REALLY skinny guy (or I should say young man) walking towards me. The first thi...
I have tried EVERY salon that has 5 stars in the city. After every haircut I find myself traveling back to Philadelphia to get my hair done by the stylist I had in college because I am happier with her cuts than any here...until now. I randomly decided to call the salon on a rainy Saturday to see whether Gabriel (based on these reviews I decided to call him) had any availability. Lucky me, he d...
I wish I could say that I was drunk or really depressed but I cheated on Gabriel when I was out of town. I think it was the air in L.A. that got to me- but I cheated. I went to one of those new hot salons and when I got back to the hotel room my husband asked if I had gotten caught in the Santa Anna Winds. HA HA. I figured that when I got back to NY and got a woman's point of view it would be...
I had heard great things about Gabriel so I had decided to make an appointment with him since I needed an updated look. I told him that I wasn't sure what I was looking for exactly but i wanted a low maintenance haircut and something a bit more chic. He gave me blunt bangs like every other stylist I have ever been to. I had asked for a slight trim of the bangs because I think blunt bangs look...
Shear Genius-GABRIEL******
Why am I a boomerang to this haircutter? Because I am always respected and my wishes are granted.
Gabriel is the Shear Genius. Each cut I get reveals a new me. And he has no problem if I fall in love with a certain style to keep the cut until I say I need a new look.
This shear genius consults with me, then I let him have at it. The result is a terrific styl...
I was desperate to find a salon in the city that gave me a style.. not just a cut. I looked everywhere and asked everyone for their advice.. I looked here on citysearch for a hair salon and was moved by all the really great reviews. I was excited to get an appointment with Johnny, but then as the appointment got closer.. I started to get really nervous for no real reason except that I've had one ...
DO YOU WANT ALL YOUR HAIR WISHES TO COME TRUE? GABRIEL IS THE GENIE TO GRANT IT!! WHILE HE JOKINGLY WILL TELL YOU THAT HIS COMB IS NOT A MAGIC WAND-I BEG TO DIFFER- HE GAVE ME A MAGAZINE STYLE HAIRCUT THAT MADE ME FEEL LIKE A COVERGIRL FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE. NOW I WAITED TO WRITE THIS REVIEW TO SEE IF IT WAS A FLUKE BUT AFTER 3 CUTS HE HAS CONFIRMED HIS TRUE WIZARD STATUS!
THE FIRST T...
Today, I had the best haircut of my life. I?ve serviced many top salons in the city and most of the time, walked out disappointed. Johnny changed all that. Firstly, a comment about the dry cut experience ? it?s off the hook! It was my first time getting one and I loved it! Johnny explained the principle to me before he started cutting and put me at ease. I showed him a picture of the cut I wanted...
Frank changed my life. He's the senior colorist at John Sahag, knows his color and how it interacts with hair and explains the process thoroughly. Frank is a genius with hair color and is also very down-to-earth and attentive. He understands my fine, mousey brown hair and makes it looks beautiful every time with depth and shine. If I want to tweak it a bit, he gets it. If I want to go too far,...
OK--not yet but anytime now. And then it will be impossible to book an appointment with him. I am not connected in any way to the salon or Johnny but am a former longtime beauty editor for a national magazine and have worked with almost every famous celeb stylist (including John Sahag himself who has also cut and styled my hair). Since I have switched careers, I no longer have the access that I ...
After reading positive reviews on Citysearch, I made an appointment with Gabriel at the John Sahag Workshop. I was not disappointed - it was without question the best haircut I've ever had and I am now a regular. Even if I moved to Hawaii, I'd travel to have my hair cut by Gabriel and, in fact, there are people who travel great distances to see him. He has given me a short, modern haircut that ...
Expect these haircuts to take twice as long as what you're used to--but they're definitely worth the time and money.
ok- so every time I research a hairdresser to go to on this site i read blah, blah, blah stuff-
do I care that he knows how to make me feel desirable for the hour I'm with him or that she understands my personality after only knowing me for 4 minutes-that's why I go to psychics darling!! So here I entertain myself every weekend by reading the stuff hairdressers have fed to their clients but hey...
I had the greatest experience at the John Sahag Workshop.
My stylist was Johnny and he did an amazing job. I wanted to have something fun but not too crazy and he did an outstanding cut on me. I turn 42 in a few month and he literally took years off my face with the cut he gave me. He is wonderful with the way he treats you and respects your wishes and ideas. He will do a consultation with you,p...
I am usually not a person to write reviews about things but this is worth every single tap of my keyboard. I recently moved to NYC and I found myself stylist-less and a bit scared about the fact that I would have to give up my well known person on the west coast and trade him for someone new and maybe not as good. I was in midtown Manhattan and discovered the John Sahag Workshop by accident. Desp...
I had the best haircut ever with Karmella at The John Sahag Workshop!!!! I am from the DC area and decided to see Karmella after reading about her in Allure Magazine. Boy am I glad I did! She took the time before the cut to look at my face and advised me what would look best on me. I decided to go with whatever she decided and am I glad I did. I am 38 years old and thought I would have to co...
I really expected to be treated poorly, as has been my experience with well-known salons.
What a great surprise it was for me at Sahag!
I was able to get an appointment with Gabriel who is a total gentleman. I do not have hair vocabulary, but Gabriel was able to understand exactly what I wanted and give it to me. I have never had a better cut- ever!
From Gabriel and throughout the salo...
Called up on a whim to see if I could get a cut quickly before the holidays. The staff was grace under pressure, even the coat check lady.
By the luck of the draw, I got Gabriel. I don't have any vocabulary to describe how I wanted to look, but Gabriel knw exactly what I wanted and gave it to me. My new cut is better than I ever imagined it could be.
Gabriel-you're my go-to guy!
Than...
I went to this salon based on an article written about it in Vogue. My stylist was Gabriel.
I described clearly what I wanted (a tiny trim - no more than 1 inch). He proceeded to cuty deep chin-length layers in my hair. When I interrupted to explain that way too much hair was being cut and that my naturally thin, fly-away hair did not work with such layers, I was rudely interrupted and ba...
I went to John Sahag for the first time last month and received the absolute BEST haircut ever. The level of detail and technical expertise of my stylist Carmela surpassed even my highest expectations. I am still receiving compliments 4 weeks later! If I could I would give her more than 5 stars, she is a true genius!
My BFF and I come into the city for a day out on the town. We are ladies who like to lunch, shop and pack in a beauty treatment or two.
Now lunch and shopping are two activities in which we have similar tastes. However, when it comes to beauty, particularly haircuts, we couldn?t be more polar opposites.
She likes edgy and seductive. I, on the other hand, am known for my classical taste. ...
We were out to lunch one day and I was admiring Mirandas hair. We have been best friends for 13 years and I have never seen her look so amazing she was just glowing. Her attitude was even different. She was much more confident, happier just exuding sexiness. I wondered....How can a haircut do this to one person? I have always fought with my hair, I have paid as little as $40 for a cut and as high...
...'cause I'm in love with him, too!! Start to finish, it was BY FAR the best haircut experience I've had in my life. Relaxing, easy-to-talk to staff, from the receptionist to the girl who straightened my hair, and of course, Gabriel. He felt like an old friend. In the end, I came out with a fabulous cut that blends seamlessly and falls amazingly. He is a true master and WELL worth the price.
...
Some may think of us pretty young things as overindulged, overpampered, and sometimes overwrought young women just want to join Junior League. Let me demonstrate how the true New York younger set knows how to share.
I discovered the hair genius named Gabriel sometime ago. But back then, I was young, selfish and naive. All my friends would be dying to know who cut my hair. But I wouldn't give...
omg!! I have never been to a salon where they are so helpful. I walked in there one day because i was curious on what the place was and they were kind enough to show me around. Then they offered me a complimentary consultation. So, then i made an appointment with Karmela. She was so nice and made me look so beautiful. My hair has never moved and looked this way ever. They made me feel so comforta...
I cannot begin to tell you the number of bad to horrible hair disasters I have had. With each new and revolutionary way of cutting, I have suffered at the hands and scissors of so-called experts. I gave up and just let my hair grow out.
A friend told me about a remarkably calm and unaffected stylist at Sahag. I marveled at my friend's new hair style-it was chic, sleek and truly brought out he...
I have lived in NYC all my life and only when I was a teenager did I have a hairdresser that I adored.
Here I am in my late thirties and have finally found my true scissor soul mate. I read about Gabriel here on Citysearch and after looking at the Sahag website, decided to give him a try. I don't think that I have had any unique hairstyle for the last decade but thanks to him, now I do. He as...
Went there yesterday for a cut with Gabriel. I was treated nicely by all the staff. His asst. Leonedis took me for my wash and dry and then I was directed to his chair for my cut. Gabriel has been there for 8 years and he was terrific. He took time, explained what and why he was doing. He never rushed or let me feel as though I wasnt very important. He was a master at cutting and even though his ...
Carmela gives me the hottest haircut. She changed my mind about bangs - I used to be
very weary of them, but I've been sporting them ever since... and all the guys are after me now! She gives the best advice & she is my fashion muse. Very inspiring and warm.
Daniel not only made my hair a gorgeous combination of wheat and sandy blonde, but his cut has made me a new woman! (I know that sounds ridiculous, but it's true.) I wouldn't consider going anywhere else in Manhattan from now on. Watching the other stylists do their magic as well was a treat.
Karmella is the end all be all for a hair cut. She is AMAZING! I have been going to her for a few years now and have converted many of my out of town friends to coming all the way to NYC to go to her. $150 is a lot for a hair cut, but you get what you pay for. Def give it a try.
With the salon's hair-to-go clips, their chic clear glosses, and sharp cuts using the dry-cut technique I am always delighted with my absolutely suberb treatments. The ambiance is extremely comforting and tranquil, almost spiritual even with its bamboo and elegant earthly decor. Santino, the head of color is the most attentive colorist, explaining every aspect of the process thoroughly, and he'...
This salon and its services are consistently excellent, after trying numerous luxury salons and always leaving with a cut that never lived up to the price tag I finally found Raphael at John Sahag. His cuts are brilliant, I can go months without a trim because of his ability to cut hair that grows out perfectly. In addition, the location is incredibly convenient and the atmosphere friendly and pr...
I can't tell you how rude the people who worked there were. It started off with a rude lady at the desk. I walked out and would never go back. I could care less how good they cut hair. They, especially John Sahag, should teach his staff how to act to everyone who comes into the salon, not just the rich and famous.
Without a doubt had the single worst haircut of my life at this place. Had read about this place the world over and so while in NY on business I tried it out. I got a stylist who was completely rude to me, cut off 3 inches more than I asked him to, when I asked him to stop cutting so much, he practically told me to shut up. I almost cried in the chair. I ended up not paying for the cut, the s...
i have gotten my hair cut by the same girl the three times i have been there. i love it!!! unlike many other salons, at john sahog they "drycut" your hair, meaning that they wash and blow your hair out first THEN cut it. i think that by doing so, your cut is of better quality. i totally love my hair and the atmosphere is great!
