Christopher is the absolute BEST hair stylist I've ever had -- plus, he's just the loveliest, funniest, kindest human. I started seeing him after a well-known hair salon absolutely destroyed my blonde hair with over-bleaching. Christopher brought my hair back to life and I've been seeing him ever since! As I've told him many times, he's the only person I trust with my hair. I can't recommend him enough!!! Oh, and the salon happens to be beautiful, as well!

I've been going to Christopher Cersosimo for many years now. He started cutting my best friend's hair and when I saw her first cut, I was sold! He gave me my first long bob which I got endless compliments on. We recently just went lighter on my color (which I haven't done in years!) He did such an amazing job! I absolutely love the color and not only that, my hair is healthier and less damaged than it's been in a long time. He is so intuitive and skilled not to mention such a wonderful person. Go check him out!

$700 for a mediocre balayage..didn't know til I paid. One hour of the stylist who has this high rate (Victoria) painting, other 2 hours someone else washing/glossing/blowing me out. I wouldn't even be that upset because I knew it was a more expensive place (says online balayage starts at 350) if it hadn't have seemed so shady and intentionally sneaky. Whenever I've gotten expensive treatments in the past at other salons, the stylist usually says something along the lines of "just so you know, this is gonna be in the X range." I'm 23, and look 23, had mentioned to Victoria that I have to move Bc my rent is too high, clearly she knew 700 is a lot and likely unexpected. Also have to add I didn't request Victoria, I booked an appt online with "anyone available." So even though it's ultimately on me to ask price, if I get the highest paid stylist in all of ny by chance, maybe someone should clue me in. I had even told Victoria (because she asked how I found the salon) I didn't know anything about the salon and only came in because I saw it while walking by and she didn't feel the need to tell me her balayage is gonna be $700. When it was time to pay, the woman up front genuinely tried to act like 700 is industry standard and acted super confused that I was slightly surprised when she told me the price, which actually is what got me mad in the first place and why I'm writing this review at all. At least say this salon is super good so that's why it's expensive, not that balayages everywhere are always $700. Also didn't even give me an itemized receipt which is shady too because she called it a balayage and the guy blowing me out afterwards said color correction so who knows how they came up w the 700 (oh and you can't put tip on card, so they don't have to pay any fees themselves on it). I get balayage a lot and at high end places so I'm used to an expensive balayage (like 400 max but that's when it took like 4 hours). Victoria took 1 hour to paint. I think they wanted me to think it's a color correction after it was over, but it was just one color painted all over at once, I've had a color correction before, it was balayage. It looks good but not amazing and not what I asked for at all, actually I asked for a ton of brown and my hair is more blonde than before. If I'm gonna pay $700 and have the woman at the front and talk to me like I'm crazy, at least give me what I asked for.

I had highlights done here about a month ago that look alright, but I regret going... And I've had negative feelings about it since, so I'm hoping getting it off my chest will help. Here's my experience... I had some nice highlights done while I was wintering in Florida, but I guess that stylist "broke my base" and left me with obvious roots after only 5-6 weeks. When I came back to NY I wanted to get some "T section highlights" done just to break up those roots. I have a great hair cutter at Sally Hershberger, and her associate quoted me $275 for partial highlights with gloss, but told me they don't really do less than that. I passed since I just had the prior highlights done and I felt I didn't need a proper partial yet. I then called several places in my neighborhood (Greenwich/West Village) for other quotes just for the T section, or 10-15 foils, including gloss. The range most gave me was $125-200 total, which I felt was reasonable, but most couldn't take me for weeks. I was delighted when the front desk person at Damian West said they could see me that week and it would be "up to $200, for everything [including gloss]". From our conversation I was left hopeful that it would likely be less than $200 total. I explained again to my stylist when I got there that I just wanted minimal foils to break up the roots, that long term I was going for a natural ombré effect from root to ends. I was surprised when she put no less than 40 foils on my head. At that point I started to get uncomfortable and checked with her on price, to which she replied "partials start at $200 and that does not include gloss, so it's usually $250+"... I explained to her the conversation I had had with their front desk prior to booking my appointment, and she told me there was no way I was told that, and to "check the prices online". Um ma'am I would've just stayed at Sally Hershberger for my color if I wanted to pay that much. That was the entire point of my calling around and making a second trip. I know what the front desk told me - I Never would've gone there otherwise. It was awful sitting in that chair for the next two hours, feeling like I was being duped, after basically being called a liar. She tried to talk me into getting the gloss of course for extra $ but I was so upset at that point that I said let's see how just the foils look first. And then I said I didn't need a blow out, hoping she could do even a clear gloss instead given the miscommunication as they're both about the same price (~$50)... But she went ahead and blew my hair out anyway. In fact even after I told her I had no where to be the next couple days and was really tired and ready to go and was concerned about overly drying my unglossed hair, she continued to spend like an hour blowing my hair out - aggressively pulling and blow drying the same sections over and over. It just felt like she really didn't care about me and what I wanted... It was an exhausting interaction. I acknowledge that some people who are willing to pay top dollar might be happy with a colorist that applies extra foils and spends extra time blowing you out. And maybe that's the kind of client she's used to catering to. But I also think that if that's their shtick, their front desk person should just be upfront. I was very clear I wanted minimal service for a minimal price, which obviously is not something they offer here -- he should have said that. The Sally Herberger associate had no problem being candid - why is it different here? When I left Damian West, my hair was lighter than it had been in years, which is not the look I was going for. And more importantly, it felt damaged and had breakage where it did not previously. I ended up getting a gloss elsewhere to try to correct these issues, and it got a little better, but not entirely. DW was supposed to be one of the better salons in New York and I just did not feel that I received near that level of service or treatm

Josh is amazing! I went to her for the first time today on the recommendation of my aunt and I will never go to anyone else for a haircut; she is a true artist and so pleasant and lovely... I made a drastic change and was terrified, but I don't think I've ever looked better; so happy with my experience!! PS ive had bangs for 20 years and no one has ever cut them so beautifully!

I've been wanting something very specific and apparently a bit unusual for face framing highlights. I've gone to a few different salons, one of them a few times, to try to get what I want. Spressa sat down with me to listen and understood what I wanted and Sija is the first one who got it right. Because of the texture of my hair they suggested I have a relaxer treatment. I've gotten the keratin treatment at other places which has left my hair pin straight. Brian did such a great job - it took out the frizz but left the body. I'm so impressed with the entire experience from the warm, friendly townhouse atmosphere to the exceptional service by all. They went beyond my expectations and I'm so happy to have found them right in my neighborhood!

So happy I discovered Sija!! I came in with extremely long roots and wanted a full blonde overhaul to cover my greys. (See before photo) It's not exactly the easiest thing to pull off with my extremely thick but fine hair. She did exactly what I wanted and I'm so pleased with the result. If you want the perfect blonde for summer Sija is your girl.
