Had a great cut at this place by Rachelle (Think that's her name - she has a line of hair care products) - she was great ! I just called and was told that she doesn't work there anymore and she hasn't left any forwarding info - does anyone have her contact info or the website of her products?
thanks!

went in with the best intentions trying to find my new neighborhood salon, left immediately promising myself NEVER to return. The staff was condescending and RUDE besides being over priced and believe me I tried it all from Chinatown cheap to Warren Tricomi high-end. should be called conceded and incompetent salon.

After being referred to Rychelle I was a little sceptical of getting my hair done becasue I have had bad experience with stylist lately, My hair was over processed and very dry and i wanted a color done and for my hair to look healthy and full again but instead it was ending up on the shower floor. After meeting Rychelle she and i sat down and talked abd went over diet and daily routine and what i wanted to accomplished. She then gave me a treatement color and extensions and when i was done i felt like a whole new person. People that i knew did not recognize me at all. It has been three weeks and it still looks like new. I cannot stop looking at myself. And after all of that i thought that i would be poor but the whole thing was under $600 and that was including the hair which is amazing as well. (that was half the cost of everything). I cannot wait to take it out and see how my hair has grown and what new look she will come up with next. I love this girl and owe her my life for saving me. Thank you girl you have another hair diva added to the roster. Tee Tee

love the blue wax they use. generally hate waxing and any beauty treatment but had a great experience here. hands down the best brazilian wax i've ever had. Ask Olga she is the best!
Posted 02/11/09
I have to say I recieved a great Brazilian here and they were really gentle and made me feel comfartable and at ease( it was my first one). I got a great haircut too from Danielle and overall felt I had a great experience. Im glad I found them and its a really cute place. Thanks Olga. I would recommend them highly. My roomate also went there and loved it too!!
Pros: TALENTED AND FRIENDLY
Posted 02/08/09
I have been to a lot of places but they really know what they are doing at sineads. I had a brazillian and it was the BEST one I've ever had. They are very sweet and proffessional and I would highly reccomend them.
Pros: PROFFESIONAL .FRIENDLY
Posted 02/08/09
My first time both with threading and with a bikini wax and I'm a complete convert. My technician was wonderful -- very relaxed . I'm completely happy with my services and will definitely be back! Thank you Lisa! Go back to Lisa!
Posted 02/08/09
Olga B is best waxer. She is wonderful and can really customize what you need. Her waxing is fast! Seriously, it takes about 15 min max and she is super professional. The staff is helpful and the place is very clean. Great waxing! Make an appt ahead of time with Olga.
Posted 02/08/09
Wow! Olga was wonderful. My experience was quick and painless (relatively speaking). I total recommend this salon. She also did an incredible job on my eyebrows. Great salon. I have finally found it!
Posted 02/08/09
Confidence beauty salon is my favor for a new nail place. After reading the mixed reviews for Confidence salon and decided to give it a try anyway because it is close to my house and office. I had a great experience! The girls was awesome, the place was clean, and I was so relaxed on the pedicure chair. The price is reasonable. I also have a brazilian wax and it looks great!
Cons: Go Back!!!
Posted 02/08/09
I cannot believe all these reviews.. i must have gone to a different place as the confidence salon gave me a HORRENDOUS experience. I regret stepping a foot in that place and and although i live nearby i will never go back. the waxer paid no attention to me and did her job like a robot. when i left i was almost in tears as the pain was throbbing all over my legs.
STAY FAR AWAY from that place
Cons: unprofessionals
Posted 02/07/09
the prices are VERY reasonable, very sanitary, very trendy.
they only use the best products too.
I LOVE THIS PLACE. i drive here from the westside just to get my manicure and pedicure done.!
Posted 02/06/09
it was from far the worst spa ive been to.. it was not a spa actually... loud cell phones and conversation. poor or non existent customer service, disorganized.
i booked 2 manicures and pedicures and they could not fit us in at the same time. i left the place not relaxed at all and i swore that i would never go back. I won't even describe the way my pedicure was so bad that i had to another salon to have it fix..total waste of money and of time
Pros: location
Cons: none, none and none
Posted 02/06/09
What can I say that over 46 reviewers haven't said? Very cool, this place does great job and classy. I can walk in, get my hands and feet done any time i feel like doing so. I had to wait a few times, but really, i do not care. I have to bring some green for the tips, they do not take tips on credit card, but really, i do not care either. Yes, there were a few times when they were packed, i was asked to dry my nails at the table instead of staying on the spa chair, but come on, i understand. My nails are great every time. (Olga) did my nails.So what rating: between 4 stars for recommended and 5 stars for highly recommended in term of getting a good nail work done for you. I say highly recommended which is equal to 5 stars here. i think my math is right ;) 10000000000000 stars
Cons: bring some green for tips. you may think it's a cons, but for me, i do not care. they have atm inside.
Posted 02/06/09
I can't believe I never updated my review after having had several Brazilian waxes done here. Olga is the best. The first time I went to her (which was the first time I've ever gotten a Brazilian wax), she could tell I was a little nervous, but told me to relax and said that she would be done in 15 minutes. She lied, because she was done in 10min, and it was virtually painless! I always ask for Olga now!
Posted 02/06/09
This salon is the best salon that I have ever been too! I had my hair cut and colored and let me tell you, it looks amazing!! We did a beautiful warm chocolately brown with some amazing highlites! I've been to other places and it just feels like they whip you around in and out and your done but not this place they are so attentive and acutally care about what YOU want and not what they want! I LOVE IT!! Daniella is the best in NY!
Posted 02/06/09
All of the girls do an amazing job here...i have no fear of just making an appointment and going with whoever is free. I constantly get compliments on my mani and pedi
But for brazilian waxing-i have found my beloved Olga B--and will continue going to her till the day i die.
Posted 02/06/09
Amazing! Olga B was awesome. It was my first time there and my first time getting a Brazilian. She made me feel so comfortable! I highly recommend this place. Olga is amazing!
Posted 01/29/09
I love this place - great vibe and great sylists! it was my first time here and my stylist Olga B was awesome - i love love love my cut, and have gotten a ton of compliments. will definitely be back, had a great experience and def. ask for Olga B when you make an appointment! She really took her time and listened to me, but was also very creative and gave me exactly what i wanted (but didn't know how to articulate). Thank you Olga!!!

I went to Confidence Salon knowing that my hair was in desperate need of some help. I had grown out dark blonde/gold highlights that were slightly faded and really brassey. I knew that I wanted to make my color alittle darker for the winter. I also wanted a really good haircut with out sacrificing too much of my length(I have been growing my hair out for a year and a half). I was greeted by Danielle as soon as I walked into Confidence Salon. She showed me some colors in the Goldwell book and told me what was possible to achieve and what colors would look good with my skin tone. Danielle also said that she would give me a complementary protein treatment since I was getting color and a haircut. The color results were beautiful, a neutral light brown. We had to lighten my roots and slightly darken my ends, but the results were so perfectly matched. After that, she gave me medium layers and an awesome face frame angle/ long side bangs. To top it off, she blew out my hair with volume and light waves on the ends. I really got the "entire package" for alot less than I have spent in the past . I plan to go back to her in the spring to do a touch up and add some high lights back. I really recommend Danielle from Confidence Salon, thank you so much, I love my hair!
Posted 01/28/09
I went to this salon last night. I got a hair cut and a root touch-up from Danielle, and a brow wax/tint from Lisa. They both gave me exactly what I wanted. Danielle matched my color perfectly and the cut is very pretty. Lisa tinted my brows to the perfect shade and the wax was painless. I have extremely sensitive skin and the wax was gentle. I was very happy with the services. I have gotten compliments all morning from my co-workers! I will definitely go back to this salon.
Pros: They'll customize a package for you.
Cons: Cash tips only.
Posted 01/28/09
I got waxed here on a cold morning and i was expecting to take off my pants and be very uncomfortable, but i wasn't at all. The heat was cranked up over the bed and the girl was really sweet. I read a lot of reviews before going here, and feared getting a waxer that was un-friendly or someone i was uncomfortable talking to. Personality matters a lot to me. Olga waxed me and she was rad. Very professional, warm and friendly. She also did a really good job, and it didn't hurt as bad as in the past.
Posted 01/20/09
I Highly Recommend waxing! It was my first time and I was suprised in a positive way! It was not paintful as I expected to be. If you want to have great job done & fast :: you should defenitly consider this salon.
I also did manicure and pedicure -- I was very happy with my manicure!!! IT was very nicely done. On the other hand pedicure was done not so great. I didnt like it at all. But overall its a great salon and we all have difference experiences.I will probably go back to this salon for waxing!
Pros: Great Waxing
Cons: Unhappy with pedicure but menicure ok
Posted 01/06/09
I came here for a Brazilian wax for the first time in my life last year. It was incredibly painful, and they managed to tug off a top thin layer of my actual skin which led to bleeding and "open wounds." I was NOT HAPPY, but figured it was because it was my first time. What was I thinking??? I am not recommended Lisa!!!!!
I went back again and it was still PAINFUL and left scabbing and bleeding. I was scabbing "down there" for the next 4 days. Let's be honest, us ladies get brazilians partly for our men, but with my bikini area in such a sad sorry state I did NOT want anything coming near my area
Posted 12/21/08
Relaxing place for a manicure and pedicure. The employees are very nice, and the treatments always leaving you feeling alot better than you did when you came in. It's not too expensive as far as spa's go, and in my opinion it's well worth the money for an hour or so of downtime and being pampered. Mary Christmas every one and thank you Olga
Posted 12/16/08
I love this place for manicures and pedicures, but I caution you to stay away from the waxing services! Far away. I have never had a more painful and inefficient wax. I decided to cut things short when the technician Lisa removed a pair of tweezers from her pocket (not a sanitizing solution or autoclave envelope).
I'm bruised and still have hair in spots.
Posted 12/16/08
Very nice place, friendly stuff, high quality service. Loved pedicure (Lisa) and hair services (very stylish).
Posted 12/15/08
I am soooo happy that I finally find a professional who is able to provide me with the kind of service I was desperately looking to get! Highly recommend Lisa, she also does awesome pedicures that last forever!
Posted 12/15/08
Professional, talent, great, personality, OLGA is not only a MASTER at her profession, she adds her SWEET, CARING, PERSONALITY, along with making her CUSTOMERS FEEL WELCOMED. Both Myself and My Husband go to OLGA B SHE IS FANTASTIC!!! WE LOVE HER.!!!
Posted 12/07/08
I heard Confidence beauty spa was the place to go to get your brows waxed so I made an appointment with Lisa. Wow!!! My brows never looked so good. I will be back
Pros: Great waxing
Posted 12/07/08
I have had a brazilian/bikini waxing at different places, and it has always been a no pain-no gain kind of experience. At Confidence Beauty Spa, my practitioner was so skilled, it was over before I knew it, and I am very happy with the results. I will definitely be recommending this spa to all my friends. Ask Olga B!!! She so sweet and very professional
Pros: Very professional highly qualified
Posted 12/07/08
I am extremely happy about my haircut and color from this salon. Service was excellent. The best I've had so far. I have gotten many compliments about my hair. This salon definately upholds it reputation. Nelly was great
Posted 12/04/08
Wonderful service and staff. It defintely made me want to return, which I will be doing next week. Thank you for all your help. AND THANK YOU OLGA B!!
Posted 12/03/08
I've been to Confidence Beauty Spa several times since it is so close to my apartment, and thank goodness it is! The waxing, manicure, and pedicure services are all terrific! The staff is very nice and courteous, and the ambiance is perfectly pleasant and relaxing. Thank You Olga B!
Posted 11/24/08
the reception desk is EXTREMELY RUDE I call there to confirm my an app & reception answer very cold but make my app any way. Got there & the reception told me that my app was not there & they didn't have any available spot for the next hour & she act as if it was my fault, I wish they had better reception becasue I was highly recmmended by Lisa but didn't see her that day. I geuss I will not know how great Lisa is because I will not be back.
Cons: Reception should not be rude
Posted 11/19/08
I had never had my hair come out as it did! Nelly, my stylist, knew exactly what I wanted. Not only did she get the right look for me, she was also very sweet. She explained what I should do to keep my hair healthy. I was very happy with the salon- its decor was very appealing. If you want a great new look this is the place- better yet go to NELLY who will get you exactly what you want!
thank you so much!
Posted 11/18/08
I found out about confidence Salon through "lifebooker" I booked for highlights and haircut for tuesday afternoon. When I got to the salon, Nelly was my stylist. She was pleasant and gave me exactly what i wanted and also she gave me tips on now to take care of my hair. I LOVE MY HAIR!!! I LOOK AMAZING!!!! THANK YOU!! I will defenatly comeback!!!!!
Posted 11/15/08
I visited Confidence Beauty salon and spa this post weekend. I was extremally satisfied whis the new look that I was given by Danielle. She darkened my washed out blonde hair to a beautiful chesnut brown and also gave me a fresh haircut, that is totally modern. I left the salon feeling like a new woman!! I will be back!!! Thanks!!!!!!!
Posted 11/14/08
I went to confidence beauty salon recently and recived a mani, pedi and brazilian wax from Olga B. Immediatley upon entering the spa. Every service that i got was AMAZING! and best of all the price was right. This spa definitly has a new client!!!
Posted 11/14/08
I don't know which Olga u went to for mani, pedi and brazilian, cause there two of them, I've been going to Olga B. for long time even before she came to this salon, and I LOVE her work. So, before u put anyone?s name on your awful list, make sure you're writing about the right person.
Posted 11/13/08
Well, there is only one word I have to say ?gorgeous? , because that the word I hear from everyone. I get compliments on my hair cut and my hair style anywhere I go. I have been treating myself at this salon for over a year by different stylists but lately Olga Basov was my one and only. I have been asking for her service every time I go in. She has been doing my hair, my nails my toes even my privet parts, she is very gentle , very professional and a great person. I have a great time at the salon, everyone is so friendly, the place is clean and very modern.
Posted 11/13/08
I definitely recommend the haircut by Rochelle. I was waiting to have my facial done, and saw the work Rochelle had done to a customer while I was waiting. Because I was thoroughly impressed, I decided to have Rochelle work on my hair. I was so pleased that I am going back for another haircut!
Posted 10/13/08
I got a pedi/mani and brazilian wax. It was great. I was well taken care of, and attended to. Olga did most of my services- she was so sweet and great. I've never had a brazilian wax not make me cry until her. She was very gentle and made sure I wasn't in pain or that she wouldn't burn me. I recommend her to everyone because I know how hard it is to find a great place for thoes special areas... Definitely go there!
Pros: Very Clean & Friendly!
Posted 10/10/08
Okay, I've had hairdresser drama since I was a child. I have long, thick, very curly, natural hair that virtually no one wants to, or is able to work with. I think I have FINALLY found my stylist. Rychelle is great! She's knowledgable about hair care and truly seems to care about the health of my hair. She is super personable and makes what is usually a really uncomfortable experience, something I actually look forward to. She takes pride in her work and is committed to reviving my dry locks. I'm already seeing real improvement after only 3 visits. I'm so glad I found her!!!
Posted 09/08/08
I walked in at the end of a long day looking forward to my pedicure. I will never go back there as it was a sloppy job, that looked like I did it myself. It wasn't until after the technician left and my nails were dry that I noticed how uneven the colour was (there wasn't a great choice of colours, I chose the darkest one I could find which unfortunately wasn't as dark once applied). The last technician there did the worst ones over but had the nerve to suggest that the shape of my nail was perhaps to blame!!! Even if that was the case, you NEVER EVER insult your clients! They looked decent enough when I left but by the time I got home one of my nails had turned white. I realised after that it was because of the oil they use to dry the polish - a really good technician where I work told me that you cannot apply the oil right after applying a dark coloured polish as it sometimes turns white. I remember this too late. I couldn't be bothered to go back and make them do it over, I just painted over them myself! What a waste of my money.
Posted 09/07/08
i was supposed to get highlights at this salon and after sitting in a chair for 2 and a half hours, the results were absolutely nonexistent. i think my hair was more highlighted when i stepped in the salon. color did not develop at all and there were absolutely no highlights made. i was very upset with this and the colorist made it seem like i just don't see them. she asked if i want her to redo it right then and there but i had to leave since i was already late for an event. i was very upset, i wasted time and money with absolutely no results. they didnt ask if i want to come back nor they did they offer me anything at all. i had to pay and leave dissappointed.
Pros: gramercy park location, good prices
Cons: horrible service, no results at all
Posted 09/02/08
OMG Ladies..... I have found the best facialist IN THE CITY!!!!! Her name is Larisa !!! She is the best!! So nice and prof!! I love this woman! I had a facial yesterday..My skin became so smooth, relax, healthy looking (especially this time of year!) Really the best facial I have ever had! Highly recommended!!! Larisa is the best, I am gonna go only to her after today! Try it! You will love it! I promise!
-very happy customer-
Pros: The have the greatest benefit over ..it is Larisa (facialist)
Cons: 2nd floor
Posted 08/24/08
Ive been a client of Larisa's for many years I just have to say that I am happy i found her in a a new salon because she is the best. Larisa is very professional and has a lot of experience in cosmetology. One of her best talents is she can do a brazilian wax in 3 minutes without any pain. I always feel comfortable going to her because she always has high energy and very sociable. If anybody would like to feel a professional job Larisa is defiantly the best one.
Pros: very clean, professional
Posted 08/20/08
This spa is absolutely wonderful and the treatments are reasonably priced, especially for the one-on-one attentive service you receive. I get facial from Galina She examined my skin and was brutally honest about what she could and couldn't do. I left there feeling unsure whether it was worth the money spent but after - my skin was completely clear!! I received so many compliments and feel amazing about my complexion now. It was worth every penny and more. I urge anyone looking for an effective facial to come to Confidence. I am confidence. It's amazing!!
