Flew in from out of state and they were able to get me in. I had Melia. She was so awesome, very attentive to my PTDS from my last haircut/color from someone else. I have blonde hair and a messed up hair cut from December. She was spot on with my hair color and cleaned up my hair “situation.” I am seriously going to figure out how to get back to Saratoga every six months!! Hahaha. Two thumbs up. She really made my vacation and all my family here in NY loves what she did for me bc they too, hated my hair hack and fake blonde. Now my hair looks healthy, beautiful natural blonde tones and clean cut. Thank you sooo much Melia! And you said bob hair cuts wasn’t your thing ? hope you remember me the girl from Idaho!Services: Shampoo & conditioning

Best color I’ve ever had done by Sierra. I went in with an idea, but she was very knowledgeable and explained what would work best over what I had (believe me I was a mess). She was absolutely right. My hair turned out perfect!Services: Shampoo & conditioning

They do a very great job here but are very expensive. I’d make sure to review what you’re getting beforehand with your hair dresser and discuss how much it’ll be to be safe! I got Kayla and she did a great job with working with me getting a layered V cut and partial highlights. If you have the money it is a great place to go but I think there are other places for cheaper that can do a great same job.

I haven't had a cut in over three years. My last one was a pretty horrible experience with a stylist I had known for over 10 years and ended with me asking for a 3” trim and walked away with a total of 9” off. Fellow long haired beauts know how devastating that can be. So, I was really apprehensive about scheduling but as you can imagine after 3 years of avoiding it I was now in dire need of my ends being cleaned up. I did a lot of research before finally booking an appointment with Tammie. She immediately made me feel comfortable which reassured me I had made a good choice. She also unknowingly eased my extreme social anxiety just by being herself and having a pleasant and comforting personality. We discussed what I was envisioning and it was clear she was genuinely listening and understanding what my goal was. She didn’t push me into anything and kept reiterating she was happy to work with me and excited to get my hair back to a fully healthy state. She didn’t cut off any more than what we talked about, matter of fact she did every single detail of my cut exactly as we had discussed, in doing so she brought back so much life to my long locks. She gave me my confidence back to keep up with my self care quarterly trims. I’ve seen some reviews talking about the price of a cut at Classical Concepts but quality should always be over quantity and Tammie is by far the highest quality stylist I have ever worked with in my 4 decades of living not to mention the reassurance, comfort, and ability to ease my severe social anxiety almost immediately is beyond priceless to me.

Poor value for money. Their top stylist (Master Stylist) not much better than the Rising Talent. Neither has been properly trained to wash and style women's hair. I paid for the washing, cuting, and styling of three women's hair from middle aged to old and was disappointed with all their styling as they were themselves. Luckily we used this for an off-season trial run for race season. Classical Concepts failed miserably and we will not be using them in season. There other options in town that provide better value for money.

My stylist is Kayla and when I tell you she is the best! She is so personable and is amazing at what she does. I have learned so much about my hair because of her! When my hair is straight, she does an amazing job. When my hair is curly, she does an amazing job. She has taught me how to do my natural hair and has given me so many tips. She truly is an amazing stylist!

This is the best salon I have ever been to; seriously! I have had only positive experiences here for the last 3 years. Consistently wonderful service. I am very particular about my hair & Katya is the most AMAZING blonding specialist. I have never received more compliments on my hair than when I started coming here. Always professional, a clean and wonderful atmosphere; cannot recommend this top rated salon enough. Stylists you can actually TRUST.

Kayla is absolutely amazing! We worked together several years ago so when I had a bad experience at another salon, she was the first one I called. She is extremely knowledgeable about color, products, and so much more! I have never been disappointed! Super easy to talk to and supportive of any inspiration picture I bring in! I cannot recommend her enough!

Kayla was incredibly precise with my hair and was able to give me exactly what I asked for. It looked better than I could've imagined! My hair was in distress from past treatments and chlorine damage but Kayla managed to keep my hair feeling healthy and lively! Haven't been this satisfied with a color treatment in a long time. Thank you Classical Concepts and thank you Kayla!

I have never gotten so many compliments on my hair cut and color! Kayla did an amazing job. She took time to consult with me and really understand exactly the color I asked for and cut I wanted, which is a stacked inverted bob and it looks fantastic! She also got the exact color I asked for based on a photo. I would highly recommend going to kayla.Service: Haircut

Kayla was absolutely amazing! I came in with horrible highlights from a different hairdresser and she fixed them SO well. I’m inlove with my hair. The service was great and she knows so much about hair care. I’ll definitely be back.

I’ve been going to classical concepts for about 6 years now and Every time I leave I feel both relaxed and beautiful. The staff and stylists are universally friendly and professional.My first experiment with anything other than “just a trim” was here, trying a new color. All the options were laid out clearly for me so I could make an educated decision. I ended up making a choice I never would have been brave enough to make otherwise and I *love* it. I’ve been rocking that color ever since.They’ve coached me on curly hair care, which has immensely helped my hair health, and they always are happy to steer me towards the right products without trying to sell me things I don’t need. (Yes: they even say “eh, not worth it.” When I ask about some products.) so I really feel I can trust them.I now live far away, but any time I visit here I make sure to come in for my hair care.Services: Shampoo & conditioning

I went here for the first time today and I had the best experience! I have been searching for a “go-to” salon that I am happy with and this is it! The atmosphere is so peaceful and they use really great Aveda products. Olivia was amazing! She really took the time to understand what I was looking for (even though I didn’t really know) and then executed it perfectly! She also was super knowledgeable about the products they offered. I love my hair and will for sure be coming back!

My last visit to this salon was awful. My cut and color were absolutely terrible. My hair was so damaged. I'd wanted a slightly redder version of my prior look. I specifically stressed I wanted a very natural look, no artificial red but more coppery tones with no blonde pieces. I wanted balayage- it was painted and lightened in balayage style but then when dyed, it looks like an ombré. Not at all the color I asked for or brought and showed inspiration pictures of. Plus, look at how it was "styled". So flat and lifeless with weird waves on the one side. My bangs were razor cut to give curtain bangs. My naturally curly hair cannot handle a razor. It was also layered to supposedly reduce damage but now it just has ends sticking out everywhere so it looks awful. My hair feels fried and has never felt this way after all the times I've gotten it colored. I went back the next day and my hair was re-toned and doesn't look much better, just darker which is the opposite of what I wanted. I felt really embarrassed on vacation and wore a big sun hat to hide my big frizzy red poof. I was able to put it in 2 braids and they stayed put all day in the breeze on the beach and sight seeing with no hair tie holding the bottoms of the braids because my hair was so rough. I won't be going back here again. The owner felt my hair looked like the reference I brought (I attached the photo). She wanted me to come in again (after I'd already spent 7 hours in the chair over 2 visits). I was not going to let them do anything else and further damage my hair, plus I was leaving for vacation and didn't have time. I was told to wash my hair multiple times to try to remove the color faster. I pay because I want my color done right to get the maximum wear time from it. She refused to give any money back. Update: my hair didn't fade into a nicer version of copper. It went from too vivid to no color/just the bleached pieces with my natural shade. It's taken 5 months of bond repair home treatments to get my hair feeling better. My mom also had several bad dye jobs where her hair was way too blonde, damaged, and not well cut. This does not deserve to have the Aveda name associated with it.

This place never misses! I always leave feeling so happy and excited about my hair. José worked with me today and he was efficient, with an eye for detail and experience. It’s definitely an investment, but hair is something that what you put in, you get out. So it’s worth it in my opinion!!Services: Hairstyling
