Truly Talented Stylists, however ...  5 Star Rating - World class

Karen is truly the very best; Nikki also is also great! However, it's a shame because these girls just need to learn a little people skills--they can be a bit 'snippy.'

I have never cried harder over a haircut 1 Star Rating - Unsatisfactory

I went to this place because it was so highly recommended on citysearch. The people there are very nice, but it is by far the worst haircut I have ever had in my whole life. I was very clear that I just wanted a trim - only about an inch off - and that I did not want a new style. The stylist cut my hair so short - she must have taken off 4 inches - so that now it is only about an inch long. It looks like someone ran over it with a lawn mower. I never thought a hair cut could make me feel so horrible - it's like she wasn't listening at all. This place was expensive and I expected to walk out with a great cut. I wish I had never gone there - it will take months for it to look somewhat normal again.

Pros: nice atmosphere
Cons: bad haircuts

Best color, highlights and Kids cuts 5 Star Rating - World class

I been going to Cutting Image for two years now. It is a very cozy and relaxing place. The service is reliable and fantastic. Since I have had MELISSA cutting and coloring my hair I look and feel more confident with myself. She is very sweet and friendly, she is well trained in haircuts, color and highlights. She is able to match skin tones and face types perfectly and give you hair to match your personalilty. (this is sooo hard to find!!)
I recently started having her cut my kids hair as well. She is just great, and patient. My children just love her! She was able to give my son a haircut like Zac Efron(High School Musical) just from a picture. My son was so happy. If you are looking for a REAL PROFESSIONAL hair stylist MELISSA is it. Cutting Image is the place!!!

Pros: Small, Intimate and Professional
Cons: There are none

Best haircut I've EVER had! 5 Star Rating - World class

I gave Tiffany a description of the haircut/color I wanted and showed her a picture in a magazine of the specific Reese Witherspoon hairstyle. I have to say that the haircut and color looked EXACTLY like the picture. She couldn't have been more on point!!! I have never in my life been so satisfied. I've never had bangs before but she gave me perfect, trendy bangs and I will CERTAINLY be going back to her from this point on. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Oh and there's a really cute boutique if you keep walking down 9th street..all around a great Sunday experience :)

Pros: fabulous service, kind people who aren't annoyingly chatty, JUST what I wanted
Cons: none

It's the hotness 5 Star Rating - World class

I've been going to Melissa since I moved to NYC a couple years ago, and I've never been disappointed. I've let her color and cut me, and she always ends up doing such an awesome job. I recently went in and let her cut off most of my hair, and I've never been happier. She's such a sweet person and always respects what you want, but she isn't afraid to tell you what will look great on you!

Salon itself is cozy and warm. There's always great music and conversation; all the stylists are very friendly!
