Which location do Donna and Leila work from? Are they still at the salon? They were both recommended to me.

5 Stars: Donna for a new you! (by ks15)

ks15 — Tue, 12 May 2009 02:00:00 GMT

I have been a devoted Donna follower for years. I will have no one else touch my hair. It's that simple. This time I wanted a drastic change. Always hovering in the blonde shades, I wanted to dare a red. Donna set me at ease, gave me confidence and said go for it---of course, even though the color rocked, I was more shocked with the change after I got home. What had I done? Was this me? The next day I called Donna for some serious emotional hair therapy and counseling...the color was gorgeous, but could I pull it off? She gave me some great advice, suggested new clothes colors, makeup and assured me that if after a couple days I didn't like it, she would be more than happy to help me go back to my usual blonde....well I am thrilled to report that Donna was right! Everyone *LOVED* the new color, thought it suited me wonderfully well and with the right color combinations in makeup and clothes, it was amazing! Perhaps I could get used to this red afterall and 'rock it out' (as Donna said). I share this story to let you all know that Donna is not only the best stylist I have ever been to in terms of cut and color, she is a great listener and friend. Will I stay red forever? Who knows? But whatever I try next, I will certainly return to my hair therapist! Love her!

5 Stars: The Best (by AlisonD)

AlisonD — Fri, 01 May 2009 02:00:00 GMT

I've been getting my haircut at Eva Scrivo for over a year now. My hair stylist is Hiro (now at the Meatpacking location) who is beyond fantastic. I have really thick, wavy hair, and I have had my fair share of hair-stylists in the past who have not known how to handle it. I can't express how perfect a job Hiro does every single time, except to say that I get tons of compliments on my hair. Next, I'm going for one of the facials, something I have not tried there yet.

Everything about the salon is fantastic. I love the green tea and yummy little biscuits. The entire place just has a great feel, it's not pretentious - everyone is so friendly and you're constantly pampered. I think the prices are perfectly reasonable considering I always have a perfect haircut, and I enjoy every single minute of it. If I could go every week, I would!

5 Stars: Wonderful environment; Friendly Service, Amazing Coffee! (by Kathy1986)

Kathy1986 — Tue, 14 Oct 2008 02:00:00 GMT

Kim Jones did my highlights this afternoon and she did an amazing job! She was extremely attentive and friendly. My hair looks great! I am so happy! Kim is so nice! :)

5 Stars: The Best Salon (by starbird89)

starbird89 — Sat, 30 Aug 2008 02:00:00 GMT

After having received one bad haircut after another, I researched the top salons in New York City. Eva Scrivo popped up all over the place and received excellent reviews. I was also very impressed with Eva's website. About seven months ago I made my first appointment and Donna was my stylist. As soon as I walked in, I was made to feel very welcome and comfortable. I sat in Donna's chair and we had a consultation. Just by talking to her, I had a very positive feeling that this was going to be a great cut. I have to say my hair was in bad shape, bulky with choppy layers all over the place. After I was shampooed, I arrived back in Donna's chair and was asked if I wanted anything to drink. They served me the most delicious coffee in my own french press. Then Donna proceeded to work her magic. When she was done, my hair looked better than ever and I knew I had found my stylist! Each time I leave the salon, my hair looks better and better. The bulk, heaviness and choppiness I once had are now a distant memory. Thanks to Donna's expertise, I now love my hair again. I have never received so many compliments and I would highly recommend Eva Scrivo to everyone.

5 Stars: Amazing color, gorgeous salon (by jpete102)

jpete102 — Thu, 31 Jul 2008 02:00:00 GMT

I just had my color done for the first time at Eva Scrivo's new salon on Bond Street. Let me first say that the salon is absolutely stunning! I have never in my life seen a beauty salon so meticulously and tastefully designed. It looks like a huge and breath taking loft apartment with a lot of mirrors, or maybe an incredible event space. Not surprisingly, someone who puts so much effort and good taste into the appearance of her surroundings, puts just as much into her work. Eva herself did my color, and I can say without a doubt that it's by far the best I've ever had! The base color is a perfect ash blonde and every highlight is meticulously placed to look like I'd just spent the summer on the beach (but much better since nature just can't give you what a super talented artist can). I've since received so many compliments on my hair, even by women I've never met before! After Eva finished with my hair, she went downstairs to broadcast her beauty talk show on Sirius radio right from the lower level of her salon. I never knew that she had a radio show and was curious to listen, so I decided to get a manicure while it was played live on the main floor. It was very insightful with dozens of people calling in to ask questions, and I was amazed at how good Eva is on the radio! It was very cool listnening on the radio to the woman who just 20 minutes ago did such a fab job on my hair, right in her own salon. All in all a great experience and I'll be back soon!

2 Stars: I'll have to be on a serious budget for the next couple months... (by kbrewin)

kbrewin — Thu, 17 Apr 2008 02:00:00 GMT

I went to get my hair highlighted and cut as a special treat for myself about a month ago and walked out spending almost $700, and not by choice. When I called to make my appt., I was given appts. with both Master Stylists (Scott and Alyson). I had never been before, so I had no preference in who I was to see. That was fine, but what I REALLY SHOULD HAVE ASKED is, how much this was going to cost me? Although my highlights are nice and I love my cut, I was just absolutely upset about how much these things cost me, and not to mention how I was strong-armed into buying products after it was all over. I know it's New York and all, but I was expecting to pay no more than $300, maybe $350 tops, for everything. I usually pay $135-$150 for everything at another salon. Will definitely not go back because it's just so outrageously expensive to have Scott and Alyson work on my hair. I cried when I got home, not because my hair looked nice, but at the thought of how much I had just spent. I'm giving it 2 stars as an average (4 stars for Scott and Alyson and no stars for price).

5 Stars: Best salon I've ever been to (by poodle123)

poodle123 — Wed, 02 Apr 2008 02:00:00 GMT

I mistakenly posted this under the Bond Street location.... so I reposted it here.

I've been at customer at Eva Scrivo for over a year now. I initially went to see Eva, the owner, for a color correction due to a horrible dye job at my previous salon and thought it would be a one time splurge to get myself back on track with a good color. But, Eva did such a good job with my color and cut that I'm now hooked on her salon's services. They are a little on the expensive side, but the quality is top notch -- hence why I've gone back ever since. While there are many talented stylists there, lately I've been seeing Hiro and he does a wonderful job with cuts! He takes a lot of time going over what would look good on you before he starts cutting, and is really patient and explains what he's doing throughout the cut (I'm very particular and do ask questions so I like that he doesn't take offense at this!) I also like that when he's blowing your hair dry, he shows you how to do it so you can achieve the same look at home. He's really an excellent addition to the salon. I've never written a review before, but my last cut was so great that I had to post. I highly recommend this salon to anyone who is bored with their current style and needs a change!

5 Stars: The AcuFacials (by cocoagain)

cocoagain — Sat, 01 Mar 2008 01:00:00 GMT

The AcuFacial treatments are the best! Acupuncture and/or acupunture plus a facial- I've had them both and love them equally. After one treatment my skin looked and felt better than I've ever seen it> I bought the acufacial resculpting package to lift my sagging facial muscles and reduce my fine lines and wrinkles. Not only do I look great after my treatments I also feel relaxed. I have also tried the acupressure ear seeds for weight loss and I can't believe it, but it's working. Tthe acupuncturist is gentle and knowledgable. She created the AcuFacial technique and teaches it to other acupuncturists- so I know that I am in experienced hands. The environment at Eva Scrivo Salon is also friendly and the staff make you feel special and cared for. I highly recommend this expereince to anyone.

5 Stars: Help me Find A.C (by jmchic08)

jmchic08 — Fri, 14 Dec 2007 01:00:00 GMT

I got my hair butcher today and need it fix. I got the best Haircut with A.C at your salon and would love to find him. His first name is Antonio not sure what the C stands for. He always gave me the best hair cuts I miss him. Please if anyone out there knows of where he can be found. Please get in touch with me. Erin.

5 Stars: Best Hair Cut, Color, Overall Experiance ever!!! (by mimiinny)

mimiinny — Tue, 11 Dec 2007 01:00:00 GMT

I have had my hair colored for over 10 years now and it has never really came out the color I wanted.
Well I decided to try this salon out because I read lots of great reviews, and let me tell you, it was the best decision that I have ever made. My hairstylist was Erica, she is just soooo fantastic, she gave me the color and the highlights that I never imagined I could have, and a gorgeous haircut. Also, my hair naturally has that weird curly (not pretty) shape, and it used to be a pain to try to dry and make it look nice, so I used to just let it air dry and look horrible, well she styled my hair sooo well that I bought some of the products that she used on me (btw she was not pushing them on me whatsoever!) and I watched how she dried my hair and now, I do it myself and it really looks perfect! I highly recommend Erica, she is fantastic and she will make you look fabulous!!!

5 Stars: Exquisite sums it up! (by lillian_from_pennsylvania)

lillian_from_pennsylvania — Mon, 10 Sep 2007 02:00:00 GMT

I took a 2 1/2 hour bus ride to NY to visit Eva Scrivo Salon. I knew Eva would finally be the stylist to give me the haircut I've always dreamed of! Eva has many celebrities and famous people as her clients. I am nowhere near famous, but Eva made me feel like a movie star when I walked out of her salon. She truly cares for her clients. I didn't feel intimidated at all. The shop is meticulously clean and organized with wonderful products. Eva's staff is made up of truly professional and beautiful people.

I've already scheduled my next hair appointment with Eva and am so looking forward to it!

1 Stars: Dude, Where's My Stylists? (by upinblue30)

upinblue30 — Sun, 29 Jul 2007 02:00:00 GMT

Where are Alyson and Scott? I called to make an appointment and they informed me that Alyson and Scott are no longer there but refuse to tell me where they are. Of course they recommended "amazing" people but I asked to speak with the owner and they still won't tell me where they are. Something is sketchy as the Eva Scrivo salon and I'm not going to trust anyone else with my curly red hair.

5 Stars: A.C. - superb stylist, the best cut ever (by skeeter08)

skeeter08 — Sat, 28 Jul 2007 02:00:00 GMT

A.C. is terrific. I came to A.C. with a very boring, blah haircut. During our consultation, he listented to me very carefully and offered some great advice. He is extremely meticulous, very patient, and has a great eye. End result, I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE my hair. Bonus, he is a great stylist too. Usually when I leave a salon, my hair is poofy and un-flattering and I go home immediately to wash it. He styled my hair and it looked awesome - totally natural and flatterring, I looked HOT!

thanks AC, you are awesome!!

5 Stars: the BEST haircut (by rdantona)

rdantona — Thu, 12 Jul 2007 02:00:00 GMT

My experience was fabulous! I had been neglecting my hair for some time and needed a color and style makeover. Luckily, someone recommended Eva Scrivo Salon to me. Antonio Cantillano cut and styled my hair and did an amazing job! i recommend that everyone take a trip to this salon and have the same great expeirence as i did. I promise it's worth it!

3 Stars: Unhappy but hopeful (by kat54)

kat54 — Thu, 05 Jul 2007 02:00:00 GMT

I visited the Eva Scrivo salon for the first time a few weeks ago. The salon is beautiful and I was greeted by a very friendly receptionist. I only waited a few minutes before I my stylist was ready to see me (very rare occurrence for a NY salon).

I explained to the stylist the basic idea of the style I was looking for - keep most of the length and keep it low maintenence. I was a bit surprised she was using the razor on my hair, as it is already fine - but when she was done, it seemed OK. I liked (but didn't love) the cut but, like most cuts, you get a true feel for them for a day or two when you wash and style yourself.

Unfortunately, when I made my first attempt drying and styling my new hair cut, I was horrified by the result! My ends were frizzy and stringy. My hair was weighed down by all the products the stylist insisted I needed and I couldn't get it to look even close to the style that I had when I left the salon that day.

I was leaving to go out of town the next day and wound up going to the salon in the hotel to fix the cut. For the amount of money I spent on the cut and then the products, you can imagine my disappointment.

Now that I am back in town, I am going to go back when this cut grows out. I have heard too many great things about the salon to not at least give it a second shot. But this time, I think I will see a different stylist.

I'll post again and let you know how trip #2 goes!

5 Stars: Thank You Eva (by jjack11)

jjack11 — Fri, 29 Jun 2007 02:00:00 GMT

I recently moved out of state after being a client at Eva Scrivo Salon for 4 years. I often fondly think about the salon, it is one of the things about NY that I miss most. There simply aren't any salons like this one anywhere else, and I have sadly realized this ten times over since having moved. I lived only a couple blocks away, and the salon had become like my home away from home. It was not only a place where I knew that I'd get the most beautiful hair and wonderful facials, but where I felt that everyone from the receptionist and assistant to Eva herself, really cared about me and my experience there. If I was having a bad day, I'd forget about my problems while at the salon and would feel and look like a new person upon leaving. I really did not expect to find a place quite like this one in my new home town (even though I'm still in a fairly cosmopolitan place), but I did not fully appreciate how spoiled I had become because it's been one disappointment after another since then. Even though Eva was kind enough to give me my color formula, my highlights have not been the same since having it done in new salons. I guess there's more to it than just chemistry. I have actually resisted getting my haircut for six months now, as that is one thing that I won't let anyone else do! I'll be coming back to NY soon just for my cut (and hopefully to get my color back to where it was). Maybe I'll also visit some friends while there :)
Thank you Eva for everything. I miss you and everyone at your salon, and I can't wait to see you in about a month!

5 Stars: A small suggestion for prospective clients (by baychic)

baychic — Fri, 27 Apr 2007 02:00:00 GMT

I love eva scrivo salon and I high recommend this place, but I was a little disappointed during my 4th visit. My hairstylist(s) usually spend a lot of time listening to what I want, but this time, she was busy with other clients and didn't spend much on my hair cut. My bangs were cut wrong, and when I told her that that wasnt what I wanted, she made a face and said, the way I wanted my bangs wouldnt work with the hairstyle. It was partially my fault for letting her know at the end, but I wish she could have explained it nicer. I dont want to disclose my hairstylist's name because she is an amazing hair stylist, and I have nothing against her...but a little suggestion for those who are deciding whether to go to this salon: bring a picture or two to show what exactly you want. Regardless of my experience during the 4th visit, I would still go back there :)

5 Stars: Tres chic and best staffed salon-ANTONIO GONZALES is a creative genius and ALLY-best esthetician!!! (by simmonssas)

simmonssas — Wed, 25 Apr 2007 02:00:00 GMT

Hands down best salon i've ever been to... i work in fashion and am constantly being judged by my appearance. i have never received as many compliments on my hair EVER! Antonio can take me from blonde to red to black and back again... he's amazing. i've referred several friends who all agree he is the most amazingly talented stylist!! I can't say enough good things about him personally and professionally. The staff is amazing from Dayna at the desk to Eva herself. Ally is an incredible esthetician and truly is one of the most soathing individuals i've met (she could shed years of stress away in a single treatment)! I would highly recommend for any service!

4 Stars: Very Attentive (by atooli)

atooli — Sat, 14 Apr 2007 02:00:00 GMT

I had a lovely experience at Eva Scrivo Salon. The staff is very attentive and Eva, who cut my hair, is extremely professional. She cares that her salon is run properly and that her customers are satisfied with their service . . . . a rarity in a city that often thinks of the phrase "customer satisfaction" as a level of service that only VIPs are entitled to receive.

5 Stars: Love this salon! (by val5)

val5 — Mon, 09 Apr 2007 02:00:00 GMT

I've lived in the West Village for years and have gone uptown for my hair until somewhat recently discovering Eva Scrivo Salon. I've never been so happy with my cut and color, and compared to what I was paying uptown, the prices here are actually very reasonable for a salon of this caliber. I especially love that blowouts are included with every color. I used to pay an additional $60 or more for the blowout after spending $400+ for highlights, or leave with wet hair, not really seeing how the color came out until I got home. Including a blowout in the price of color is a wonderful touch of customer service, and something that every salon should do! It's not surprising that customer service at Eva Scrivo is fantastic, very nice and friendly staff who try very hard to accomodate your schedule and take wonderful care of you at the salon. So glad that this level of work and service has been brought to the West Village!

3 Stars: Not So Hot (by lauren80)

lauren80 — Thu, 05 Apr 2007 02:00:00 GMT

Recently, I had my hair highlighted at this salon for the first time, however, I get my hair blown-out here. I was always happy with their work. But with the highlights, I was disappointed with the result. I was told that the "bailaige" highlights were superior to the regular tinfoil highlights, and decided to have that done. Two weeks later, the color seemed to fade, and I had dark roots. I never had that issue before with highlights over the years. So, $320 bucks later (not including the tip) and 2 weeks later, I had massive roots.

On the upside, everyone at the salon is very nice and friendly- I must stress this. I'd go back for blowouts even though I had a lousy experience with hair-color.

5 Stars: Antonio Knows Blondes (by nyptfour)

nyptfour — Thu, 08 Feb 2007 01:00:00 GMT

I've been a blonde for several years, but I've never had color like the color Antonio's given me. He's amazing! I recently moved from New York to Atlanta, and haven't been able to find a stylist able to work with my natural hair and skin color. I heard Antonio's beautiful voice on the Martha Stewart Living radio show he does with Eva Scrivo, and decided a trip back to New York was in order -- it was a splurge, but so worth it! I've made three trips since, and have recommended him to all my girlfriends.

5 Stars: Great place; I highly recommend it! (by allsure)

allsure — Sun, 31 Dec 2006 01:00:00 GMT

I had a wonderful experience at Eva Scrivo Salon. My husband set up my appointment as a gift and I was very pleasantly surprised. Mira fixed my awful color. She changed my multi-color mess into a wonderful, warm brown. Like magic. Kaz gave me a great cut and thinned out my super thick, unruly curls so that I could manage them myself. All in all it was a great experience. The entire staff was super helpful and friendly, none of the upity receptionists you find at some salons. No sales pressure to buy products or additional services. Overall, happy, happy, happy!

5 Stars: Donna Donna Donna! (by burkeera)

burkeera — Sat, 04 Nov 2006 01:00:00 GMT

After four awesome cuts and color by Donna I have never recieved so many compliments. I have been approached on the street about my cut and always sing the praises of Donna and the entire salon. I have never felt sales pressure and the folks at the front desk are always accomdating to my hectic schedule. Eva Scrivo Salon gives every customer the NY style they crave without the NY attitude that other high end salons serve.

On a side note their coffee is fantastic.

5 Stars: Face Magic - With Alli Kaufman (by rezarta)

rezarta — Wed, 04 Oct 2006 02:00:00 GMT

When I started seeing Alli at Eva Scrivo, despite a healthy diet and using very expensive products from the Wholefoods store, my skin was so oily or dry in some areas, there were scales around the bridge of my nose. Alli cautioned me that it might take quite a while to address this condition. Six weeks after my first facial and using products she recommended, however, it was obvious that I was on my way to having beautiful skin again. People consistently underestimate my age by at least 10 years, a mistake I welcome more and more! Alli is very rare in an industry known for superficiality. Alli's expertise in skin care is matched by her sincere desire for the overall well-being of her clients. A top-notch service and a great business.

5 Stars: Great all around (by cocoba)

cocoba — Wed, 27 Sep 2006 02:00:00 GMT

This place really has it down, all the things you would expect from a top tier salon, and one thing that you wouldn't; there is no attitude. I love Donna, but it looks like everyone is an ace there, and they never pressure you into things you don't want. Worth the money because you are bound to get something you like (and heck, you can earn money faster than you can grow out a bad cut!).

5 Stars: Look No Further! (by suzdamato)

suzdamato — Tue, 12 Sep 2006 02:00:00 GMT

I've been to the salon for a cut and color on two separate occassions and am officially an Eva Scrivo Salon devotee, forever. Alyson is a total sweetheart and nothing short of a genius with color - her highlights are a work of art. She won't make a move without talking to you at length, listens to your ideas and shares her opinion on what will be most appealing. Kaz is the most meticulous stylist I've ever visited for a cut - he spends more time on finish work than most stylists spend on a whole cut. His cuts have made my hair waaay more stylish than before AND easier to style every day - every girl's dream.

New York has an overwhelming number of good salons to choose from - but this one is beyond compare. Seriously, book with Alyson and Kaz and you'll have the hair of your dreams!

5 Stars: Alyson ROCKS!!! (by charlotte203)

charlotte203 — Fri, 04 Aug 2006 02:00:00 GMT

I walked into the salon with the most HIDEOUS Ronald McDonald colored hair. But after a few hours in the care of Alyson I walked out with gorgeous auburn tresses - I haven't been to see anyone else since and wouldn't dream of letting anyone else touch my hair - Alyson does an amazing job with cut and color and is one the sweetest people I know - I love the staff and always leave feeling so pampered.

2 Stars: Hard sell on the products (by wartulio)

wartulio — Thu, 27 Jul 2006 02:00:00 GMT

Bad experience. The colorist took the gorgeous blonde color I had and made it a hideous beige shade. And then the stylist hacked off my fine hair with a razor, ignoring my pleas to use a scissor instead, making the edges all rough and choppy. NOT the look I asked for. At all. And then, the icing on the cake, she spent about 5 minutes too long trying to get me to purchase hair products which I told her repeatedly that I did not need. This was a grave mistake, Eva Scrivo is a BAD BAD salon. DO NOT RECOMMEND AT ALL!!!!

5 Stars: Love JD (by dlemus)

dlemus — Wed, 05 Jul 2006 02:00:00 GMT

JD is great. I went to Eva Scrivo b/c a friend recommended it. I was lucky enough to get JD as my stylist. He really took the time to talk to me before the haircut, and listen to my preferences and issues. He came up with some great suggestions and was really sensitive to my concerns. I've been going to him for almost a year now and am always happy leaving the salon. JD is always a pleasure, and everyone at the salon is very friendly and nice - no attitude there.

5 Stars: JD Bowers is Fantastic (by tjaye)

tjaye — Wed, 28 Jun 2006 02:00:00 GMT

Serendipity brought me to JD Bowerss plush chair. For years, I have had limp,
straight hair that every stylist cut the same way. No layers, angle from the chin
down. When I came to Eva Scrivo, before anyone even washed my hair, JD and
I discussed my lifestyle, how long I take to do my hair in the mornings, how I
style it. Afterward, he took 45 minutes (on a Saturday evening!) to show me
different ways that I can style it and how to blowdry it. In addition to having
the best hair cut I had ever had, I was asked out by multiple guys that night.
The second time I went to JD to get my hair cut, I gave him full reign to do
whatever he wanted. Now this is the best hair cut I have EVER had!
The way he cut it accentuates my faces best features. I like it so much and
still get so many compliments, that four weeks later, I feel compelled to write
this review. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND JD- after one session in his chair, I have
no doubt that you will have the steadfast allegiance to him that I do.

5 Stars: LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! (by kro55)

kro55 — Fri, 23 Jun 2006 02:00:00 GMT

Kaz came highly recommended to me by a very trusted stylest and I absolutely fell in LOVE!! He did an AMAZING job, and was very friendly. Great service, atmosphere and AWESOME cut :) GO SEE KAZ...he's my new best friend!!!

1 Stars: If you want bangs/fringe go to Orlo. (by maryami)

maryami — Wed, 21 Jun 2006 02:00:00 GMT

I have been going to Eva Scrivo for two years spending two hundred upwards for cuts each time. About six months ago one of my cuts involved bangs and it's been downhill since. So, for my new cut, Orlo is much better service, they do alot more to help you maintain between cuts.

At Eva Scrivo you can play a game of chicken with your stylist between cuts:
For fringe trims you can't book in advance, you have to call between 9 and 10 in the morning to find out the schedule of your stylist and have the receptionist gingerly ask him/her if they will take you. Oh and they don't do it on weekends. I guess this might be ok if you don't have a job or anything else to do. Or maybe if you haven't already shelled out $200 plus tax and tip to them for a cut. Well I have a job and better things to do than play games with my stylist (will he/she take me? yes? no?)

This has not worked out in may favor so many times that I have had to resort to paying another salon to have my fringe maintained. A while back (when still at E.S.) my bangs had really taken over my face and I needed help, I was traveling for work and needed to fix it immediately. So I called to find out if they or Kaz (my stylist) apparently he had two 15 mins openings on Sat. but I had to call again in the morning.

Saturday morning at nine I was informed again no exeptions to the bangs on weekends rule.
And that is when they lost me, a loyal client of two years who has done nothing but tout their salon to friends and strangers on the street. I carried Donna and Kaz's business cards in my bag to hand out if opportunity strikes. I have literally shelled out thousands of dollars in services and products and I was resorted to a beggar asking for scraps from the eva scrivo table.

Well I was desperate because then I called Orlo.
They were ready to take me that evening once I had made an appointment for a trim a few weeks later. End of story.

5 Stars: Donna is great! (by seattlegirl12)

seattlegirl12 — Fri, 09 Jun 2006 02:00:00 GMT

Donna has always given me a great cut (and fun conversation). Moving to Seattle was super exciting for me, but I was so sad that I had to leave Donna after spending years and lots of cash trying to find a great stylist. After trying a few different people out in Seattle, I decided I just needed to fly back and visit Donna - it's worth it!

I absolutely love this salon. I've been having my hair cut by JD for about a year and he's wonderful. He really listens to what you want and he takes the time to consider your ideas on your cut. I highly recommend him.

4 Stars: Excellent Salon (by lisakisner)

lisakisner — Wed, 03 May 2006 02:00:00 GMT

I have naturally curly hair so I can't just go to any salon or I leave looking like a poodle. After using CitySearch for a recommendation, I tried Eva Scrivo salon and was not disappointed in the quality. The truth is it pains me to have to cough up three hundred dollars every three months for a haircut and color, but I feel it really is worth the money to leave the place looking and feeling great. The color that Alyson gave me really held up and Kaz does a great job with the cut. The staff is friendly and it's a comfortable atmosphere. They were also really good about helping me get an appointment that worked with my schedule. This last time I arrived an hour early and they took me immediately.

5 Stars: Loyal Client (by lorenzal)

lorenzal — Wed, 03 May 2006 02:00:00 GMT

I recently moved from L.A. to N.Y. and did not know what salon to go to. Advised by a friend, I went to a well known salon, which turned out to be over-rated. I had alot of blond highlights and wanted low lights put in. When I told the stylist to blend - thinking she was capable - all of my hair turned out to be brown without any highlights. She apologized.

I came upon Eva Scrivo Salon in my neighborhood. I spoke with Eva (owner) about my problem, and she suggested I see Antonio. He took me as a walk-in.

I felt confident during our consulatation that he would color-correct my hair, and he did. My hair came out beautiful. I was so happy with it that I returned for a cut a week later. Im impressed by his work and will be his loyal client.

I work in a predominately male feild...for the FDNY..so I always had a captive audience...but after having Eva cut my hair, I can't tell you how the men went bonkers over my hair...not even realizing I did anything different...just wanting to touch it and thanking me for keeping it long! Then she slightly altered my color (after going to a VERY high end salon for years...very good divorce pays for!) and the 24 year old firefighters are crazy about me...I'm 47 so they are hands off...they are young enough to be my children!...but it is very flattering!...to say the least. Point is, Eva has the eye to know what works and is what is flattering! Worth every penny!!!!!!

5 Stars: Delighted Bride (by Penn02)

Penn02 — Wed, 15 Mar 2006 01:00:00 GMT

For my wedding I went to Eva Scrivo's. Was not dissapointed. We played with several looks, they asked detailed questions about my dress and the complete look that I wanted. Throughout the expirence I felt relaxed and taken care of, more so than at top-notch salons in the city. I was worried about trying a new place for such a special day, but had seen her work in Martha Stewart Weddings and I wanted to try something new.

5 Stars: Donna is amazing (by keq207)

Recently I went to Eva Scrivo Salon for a drastic haircut. I was nervous becuase I have had long hair for such a long time, but Donna is amazing! She knew exactly what to do. She listened to what I wanted and created an amazing cut! I would recommend her and the salon to everyone because of their positive, unpretentious attitude. It's worth every penny!

Chibi68 — Wed, 08 Feb 2006 01:00:00 GMT

I had been going to Eva for three years when, due to budgetary concerns, I was going to look for another stylist. She was SO wonderful and accomodating by recommending Nicole, her former assistant and FANTASTIC stylist!

As always, the service was wonderful and Lana does the best manicure/pedicure in the city!

First off, I am not an easy person to please when it comes to my hair, and I know this...but the way Erin cut my long hair was just perfect. She knew exactly what I wanted when it came to layering, and she didn't have to even touch the length! She also made it easier for me to blowdry and it looks better when i wear it more natural, too..thank you Erin!

erald — Tue, 27 Dec 2005 01:00:00 GMT

I was watching the Martha Stewart Show where they featured a segment on Marthas skin regiment and the application of a facial. I called the salon and scheduled an appointment with Ally.

Ally is fantastic. She is sweet, kind and her magical hands, make the experience worth every penny.

I call Ally the celebrity esthetician not only cause she has various celebrities as clients, but for treating and making me feel like celebrities.

5 Stars: A fantastic experience (by roxienara)

roxienara — Wed, 14 Dec 2005 01:00:00 GMT

So welcoming and comfortable with an extremely talented staff: Donna for cut & color -- she listens, she cares, she takes her time, she knows what she's doing. Lana for manicure & pedicure. Shellie for acufacials. Chris for general hospitality. I left feeling like a new person. It was worth every penny.

5 Stars: Alyson- junior stylist (by mwhitefield)

mwhitefield — Tue, 13 Dec 2005 01:00:00 GMT

I have been going to Eva Scrivo for about a year now as a model for the very up and coming stylist, Alyson. Every time I have gone in for a cut or a new color it was if she was reading my mind. She is takes her time in understanding me and my lifestyle always working with me to fine out what will look best. It is so exciting to finally have someone who helped me develop a defining style. The salon itself is beautiful and relaxing, there is no pretention whatsoever.

5 Stars: Fantastic Salon - Fantastic People (by akadamson)

akadamson — Tue, 22 Nov 2005 01:00:00 GMT

I couldn't say better things about Eva Scrivo Salon. I moved here almost 8 months ago and was initially using Oscar Blandi Salon through a family reference. By chance, trying to find a specific brand of shampoo, I walked into Eva Scrivo, met Antonio Gonzalez, and the rest is history. His level of expertise and professionalism cannot be beat. Eventually, I started using Eva Scrivo for all of my salon needs. Their manicures, pedicures, and facials are top-quality. I highly recommend Antonio and the team.

5 Stars: i heart JD!!! (by kimbalina74)

kimbalina74 — Wed, 09 Nov 2005 01:00:00 GMT

if you are looking for a hair stylist who is a truly genuine person with massive amounts of talent, i suggest going to JD at eva scrivo salon. he had cut my hair a few times at a previous salon almost a year ago and i finally visited him at eva scrivo today. he remembered all of my personal hair styling preferences from way back when, which truly blew me away. he is a great listener and hasn't tried anything outside of my comfort zone. at the same time, he's made some really great suggestions and we've taken some baby steps towards a more "daring" 'do. i also really liked the atmosphere at eva scrivo's salon. it was very relaxing, yet totally contemporary. basically - a high-end experience without any of the pretention. i highly recommend going and HIGHLY recommend asking for JD!

5 Stars: DONNA'S MAGIC SUPERMODEL WAND!!! (by vkellynyc)

vkellynyc — Fri, 21 Oct 2005 02:00:00 GMT

I entrusted my tresses to Donna to do a drastic color change from very blonde to caramel brown. Her adorable assistant whose tone and demeanor manages to find the perfect balance between genial hospitality and an efficient clip, made me feel welcomed throughout the entire visit in the unpretentious yet uber-chic space saturated with star shine (from the oft photographed owner Eva to the famous clientele). Donna was lovely; friendly without being overly-intrusive and reassuring knowing this was a nerve wracking process for me. Most importantly, she did not dissolve into peels of laughter when I showed her a photo of Giselle Budchen and said Can you make my hair look like this? Amazingly, she did! Perfect color-sassy cut. I get rave reviews on her masterpiece daily. If only my trainer were half as good and could produce similar results when I show her a photo of Giselles *body* :-)

I recently went to Eva Scrivo Salon for the first time. I saw Kaz for my Haircut and Lana for my manicure and pedicure. Kaz was absolutly amazing. This is the first GOOD cut I've recevied in the last 10 years. He has some pretty impressive techniques and can give a great blow-out. I left there looking amazing!! My boyfriend loved my hair so much that he's gonna book an appointment for himself. I would highly recommend Kaz if you're looking for a great haircut.

5 Stars: Go See JD! (by rentineny)

rentineny — Thu, 13 Oct 2005 02:00:00 GMT

I have lived in the neighborhood for several years, and walk past Eva Scrivo practically every day. In a city full of pretentious salons filled with egotistical stylists, I was hesitant to walk in until a friend recommended it to me. From the moment I walked in, the staff was warm and friendly, and then I met JD. He listened to my requests, made suggestions for future visits, and was an overall pleasure to spend time with. I got a cut and color, and could not be more pleased. In all honesty, I did not want to leave, and I regret my initial hesitation to even walk in. If you're looking for a new stylist (even if you're not) - I would definitely recommend Eva Scrivo and JD.

5 Stars: Ally Rules the Beauty World (by star9)

star9 — Thu, 06 Oct 2005 02:00:00 GMT

I have been a loyal Ally follower for quite some time. She keeps my skin looking brilliant and teaches me how to maintain a fresh, healthy complexion. She is the only person I will ever trust to do my Brazilian waxing! And I now go monthly! Ally is thorough, quick, gentle, and extremely nuturing. I am in the beauty industry myself and have experianced many aestheticians, internationally, and Ally excedes them all. I do not know why all of NYC has not been in to see her. She makes splurging on skin worth way more than shoes that last 4 seasons.

stellabob — Tue, 04 Oct 2005 02:00:00 GMT

My experiences at Eva Scrivo have been nothing but wonderful--the staff is top notch, friendly, and professional...no attitude whatsoever. I have been going to Donna for my haircuts and color, and I might say that just when I think that she can't top the result from the previous visit, she wows me with something even more spectacular. She really listens to my needs and concerns, and she never makes me feel rushed. I highly recommend her to everyone--she definitely has a gift for hair!

5 Stars: Proud Metrosexual (by andy021)

andy021 — Sat, 20 Aug 2005 02:00:00 GMT

I have to admit that at first walking into the salon I was intimidated. I had only seen a barber and paid $12 to get my haircut. My girlfriend hated my hair so I figured Id go see her hairstylist once so she'd understand that I just have bad hair and it's not worth paying the money. I hate to tell her she's right but Donna changed my outlook. She cut my hair to bring out my best features. She showed me how to style my hair, and bottom line made me like my hair. Now I rave about Donna just as much as my girlfriend. Ok Im man enough to admit when Im wrong, thank you Donna and Carla for opening my eyes.

5 Stars: True Professionals (by ksum1)

ksum1 — Sat, 20 Aug 2005 02:00:00 GMT

I've been to this salon several times now, and one of the things that amazes me is the consistency of excellence. Being a business owner myself, I can appreciate how difficult it is to consistently deliver great work and outstanding customer service, especially in a vanity-based service business. When you have a great experience at a salon on your first visit, you sometimes wonder if you just happened to catch everyone on a good day. So I was very pleasantly surprised that after about five or six visits, where I saw more than one stylist, and have had spa services as well, every one of my experiences has been overwhelmingly positive. Everyone from the front desk staff, to the stylists and aestheticians, has been wonderful. They are true professionals and lovely individuals. My hat goes off to the management for building such a fabulous business!

1 Stars: Worst Haircut in My Life (by jbrcvm)

jbrcvm — Fri, 19 Aug 2005 02:00:00 GMT

I told the stylist I have wavy hair--layers are OK as long as my hair can be pulled back without bobbypins and the pieces around my face come to my chin at least. I also stressed how I don't have time to blow out my hair in sections and that I can't wash and go because it looks too messy/frizzy. I ended up with a mullet. She cut 6 inches off--3 was the max I said. "Butchered" is the best description. I have a 6 inch step betweent he top and bottom layers. "80's prom queen" has been the reaction from friends. I have been in a ponytail with 80 bobby pins since.

5 Stars: Fabulous (by carliebrown)

carliebrown — Wed, 10 Aug 2005 02:00:00 GMT

I just recently moved to New York and needed a new salon-well I have found one and it is amazing. Eva Scrivo Salon is the ultimate experience; the staff is friendly, the space is relaxing and the services are top notch. I had my hair colored and cut. My stylist talked me through the whole process to make sure I got exactly what I wanted. I can say that I have never had a better cut and color in my life. While my color was sitting, I indulged and got a manicure. Lana, the manicurist, gives wonderful hand massages and my cuticles are still healthy.
Even better, I called last minute and was shocked when they fit me in the next day for an early morning appointment. This salon is perfect for anyone looking for a little pampering and an amazing hair cut.

5 Stars: Thank God for Donna (by ann459)

ann459 — Tue, 02 Aug 2005 02:00:00 GMT

This was my 3rd haircut with Donna, the 3rd haircut for me has always been the worst. Not this time, i actually went in expecting to be let down. It's' been my experience that the 1st cut is always great they're trying to impress, the 2nd they can copy the 1st but the 3rd seems to be a new ballgame. Not only was it incredible but it may be my favorite. Having a cut that is easy and fits my personal style has made my life so much easier. Donna i know you'll read this, i thought about sending you a thank you card but i thought this was a better. Thank you for every complement i recieve, for getting me to work ontime cuz i'm not fighting with my hair and for all your perfect suggestions. Don't be so humble your amazing.

5 Stars: Pepper does curls!! (by stacyny)

stacyny — Mon, 01 Aug 2005 02:00:00 GMT

My fellow curly haired women know how frustrating getting a hair cut can be....most stylists don't know how to handle the shape of a curl, and thus chop it off. I haven't had a real haircut since high school, other than an even trim. Pepper immediately diagnosed me as being "severly one-lengthed." My curly hair looked heavy, straight and lifeless. I told Pepper to do what she saw fit for my oval face shape, but that I wanted to maintain a "length" to my hair. She cut pieces of different lengths, using only a razor! When she finished, my curls bounced up into life like never before. My hair had texture and even brought out highlights that were previously hidden under my heavy length. I was so impressed with Pepper's technique. Now I can finally get hair cuts again!!!

5 Stars: Pepper took care of me (by heyitsbrad)

heyitsbrad — Fri, 29 Jul 2005 02:00:00 GMT

As a guy, here is my experience with every stylist before PEPPER:

Stylist: "What do you want"?
Me: "I don't know, I just want to look good".
Stylist: "Well, tell me the haircut you want & I'll do it".

They don't get it - I don't know what I want, OK? I want to look the best I can with what I have.

PEPPER was the first stylist who sat me down and said "Given the shape of your face & the bone structure of your head, this is the haircut that will make you look attractive".

Since Ive been seeing her, the compliments in my office have been flying, as well as my friends requesting her contact info for her info.

amydelise — Wed, 27 Jul 2005 02:00:00 GMT

Pepper is one of the best hair stylist & colorist that I have ever been too. Hair is a sensitive issue with most women & it is hard to decide what to do. Pepper takes one look at you & makes tones of suggestions. Her suggestion are always right on the money!! She's not the type of stylist that does whatever she feels, she LISTENS to what you what & cuts away. If you want a new look, I suggest to GO SEE PEPPER!!!! You can never go wrong!!! You will always get a FABULOUS Hair cut or Color!!!
Thank you, Pepper, for making the world a more beautiful place!!!!

PEPPER gave me my first haircut EVER that I was HAPPY with. She has cut and dyed the hair of all my co-workers (from a striped mohawk to a head full of curls) and they all looked SO GOOD that I trusted her to cut my never-been-dyed-2 foot long-hair how ever she wanted and she did not disappoint me. I left her salon WALKING ON AIR and I now carry around her business cards and give them away to anyone and everyone. THANKS PEPPER!!!!

I went from Platinum to Brunett--very scary. DONNA was so patient, skilled and went above and beyond to make sure I felt comfortable and left happy. THERE IS ZERO ATTITUDE at this high-end salon and Eva, who owns it treats every client like a celebrity.

I was treated like an old friend on my first visit.

This Salon is a GUARANTEED EXCELLENT EXPERIENCE--worth every cent--I will never go anywhere else.

acernitz — Sat, 09 Jul 2005 02:00:00 GMT

If you want to look great, make an appointment to see JD today! My hair is a challenge to cut, highlight and style because it's really thick and has a lot of natural waves. JD knows exactly what to do with my hair and I'm sure he will know exactly what to do for you too. He listens to what you want and like, if you want change, he suggests the right styles specifically for you... if you prefer to keep a style that you like, he respects what you want to do. He styles hair so it looks great from the time you leave the salon until you return for your next appointment. JD is passionate, adorable, funny, patient and a pleasure to spend time with while he works. If you want a positive hair experience, look no further - he's the guy for you!

I recently moved to the city and had read the amazing reviews about Eva Scrivo Salon- in particular the sassy, sweet stylist Donna. Believe what you hear about Donna and get yourself an appt today! Donna is the best person I've ever had do my hair, and I've been to a lot of stylists (Newbury Street Boston places). Most importantly, Donna creates a cut/look that works with your best features, bringing the best out in you rather than just duplicating trendy styles that everyone in the world has. Donna takes her time, being meticulous about both cut and product, explaining all that she does along the way, making you feel comfortable about how to do the style when you get home. She is warm, friendly and kind. Overall, being around her just makes you feel happy. And in the end, when you see what she creates, you will be thrilled!

I have gone to all the big name hairstylists and have always been satisfied with my haircut. I recently tried Eva and I was blown away. I never thought I could be so happy with a haircut. It is exactly what I wanted and it is very low maintenence. It is such a great cut that is doesn't require me to do much at all after washing it! I just went back for my second haircut with Eva and it was even better than the first time - I didn't think that was even possible!

I followed JD from Insitu to Eva Scrivo, and think he's amazing. He brings out the best in my naturally curly hair. Plus, he's so friendly and fun, you will always have a great time in his chair. Great cut, great time - what else could you ask for in a stylist?

5 Stars: Thank You Daniel! (by missotis1)

missotis1 — Thu, 28 Apr 2005 02:00:00 GMT

I had my hair cut by Daniel and I can honestly say it was the best haircut I've ever had. Not only is Daniel incredibly personable and down to earth, he's one of the most knowledgeable stylists I've ever met. From the second I sat down, he was attentive to my needs and didn't make me feel like I didn't know my own hair. I'm low maintenance when it comes to my locks and Daniel showed me how to make my hair work for me instead of making me work for my hair. 3 weeks later my 'do is still in great shape and looks exactly like it did when I left the salon. I was also extremely impressed with the kindness of the staff from receptionist to assistants. In a town where snobbery is abundant, Eva Scrivo Salon (and Daniel) rise above and deliver the goods.

5 Stars: DONNA WHALES! (by illyd)

illyd — Thu, 21 Apr 2005 02:00:00 GMT

I'm not one to jump on bandwagons, but after reading the almost suspiciously
glowing reviews of DONNA by bella d and bellag (hmmm), I decided to check
her out for myself. They were right; she's a master! Made my long hair short
with just a few expert movements of a sharp instrument. My self-esteem rose as quickly as the brown locks fell, and paying $150 for it made me feel, well, virile.
As I left, she oh-so-casually recommended I find the salon on citysearch, rather than simply giving me evascrivo.com. Now I know why. There aren't any reviews of DONNA at the latter.

JD is an overall pleasure. He is patient, calming & funny. He cut my long, curly, wavy hair into the perfect style for me. He offered excellent hair styling advice and most importantly he listened to and respected my choices. I walked out with a beautiful cut I can easily duplicate myself. The salon staff is friendly and the person who washed my hair also gave me a lovely shoulder massage

4 Stars: Pepper is AMAZING (by medgirl)

medgirl — Mon, 18 Apr 2005 02:00:00 GMT

Pepper, my stylist, is a genius. She can take one look at you, your hair, your style, and come up with a haircut that perfectly reflects the best part of yourself. She has cut my hair in a way that is simple to style by myself, can look edgy or refined depending on how I part it, and attracts an almost silly number of compliments. Bottomline: Pepper is worth every penny.

cli200 — Mon, 18 Apr 2005 02:00:00 GMT

Best cut EVER! I'm still completely floored at how DONNA snipped my crazy curls into submission -- and made the whole process seem effortless! (Trust me, this was no small feat) My wild, frizzy hair has left me with many a salon heart break - this time around I'm escstatic. Perfect color, perfect shape -- what a master! I've considered curly-hair specialists but after Donna there's no need. She's all around just that good. The rest of the staff was super-friendly and cool to boot.

5 Stars: My hair has never looked better. (by ebt)

ebt — Fri, 08 Apr 2005 02:00:00 GMT

I've been devoted to J.D. for over a year and will never go elsewhere. When I first came to him, my hair was damaged, so he took special care with the highlighting products until my hair was healthy again. He listens attentively, makes creative suggestions for both color and style, and explains how to re-create the style at home. I like my highlights/lowlights to look natural, and he's worked with my color to not only look like I was born with it, but to avoid noticeable roots in the grow-out phase. These are the basics you'd expect of a talented stylist/colorist; as a bonus, J.D. is also sweet and funny and charming (and always looks wonderful). The salon itself is an airy, elegant space whose friendly staff makes you feel right at home. It's an amazing place to be pampered, and you'll walk out feeling gorgeous.

Pepper has been my hairstylist for 6 years. I won't let anyone touch my hair but her. She always gives me exactly what I want. If I do run out of ideas for my hair Pepper will always come up with a creative & unique vision for my style but keep it manageable. She really listens to what your needs are and creates a unique haircut for every single client. I have recommended hundreds of people and they are all still devoted and happy clients of Pepper's. The Eva Scrivo salon is a minimalistic and relaxing nook in the city...a great place overall to get a pleathora of salon services done at.

I actually pass by the salon every day for work and finally succumbed to my curiosity and got a haircut. My stylist Pepper was fantastic! She spoke with me about my interests and had me describe what I love and hate about my hair and gave me the best haircut I've ever had! Not only that, I went back to her for some colour too and she was spot on with that as well! Friendly, expert-knowledgable, fast, and gave me exactly what I wanted--without knowing what I wanted!! What more could you ask for in a stylist?

The staff makes you feel right at home the second you walk in the door. The stylists are amazing, to say the least. They can do anything! I got EXACTLY what I asked for - no "surprises". The shampoo and scalp massage is SOOO relaxing, the cut is amazing, and the COFFEE is INCREDIBLE! Be sure to get some while you're there! Better than any cafe in the area :)

I've recommended this place to many friends and clients - I always here the same thing. "Thank you! Eva's place is amazing!" Seriously, this is the place to go if you want to be pampered!

Attending this salon is like asking a skilled & talented friend for advice and making it happen! Each LISTENED CAREFULLY to my goals and delivered what I expected and was promised.
Spoke with manager (Arik) about my goal to update my look who recommended that I speak directly w/Eva. Eva fixed my eyebrows while I explained my goals. She made "no pressure" service suggestions & worked w/ my schedule to find the right person to handle each service. She provided a list of times & dates rather than have me sort it out on with reception. afterwards Wonderful medi & pedi (Lana). Facial with Ally & make-up with Eva's sis, Vinetta, were fantastic. Donna's blow-out and cut suggestions were right on the money. Shellie's delicate acupuncture put me to sleep (I have insomnia). Consering the personalized service, prices were less expensive than other places but competitive at the very least.

5 Stars: DONNA (by bella_d)

bella_d — Tue, 22 Mar 2005 01:00:00 GMT

I was sent to Donna by one of my best friends that sees her. I've never been so impressed by a hairdresser. She wasn't afraid to tell me what I should do with my hair and it's amazing how right she was. I've never had someone really sit and look at me and tell me what I need and be soooo right. I even let her highlight my hair, my first time, and I was extremely nervous but it complemented my hair perfectly. I know she's right because I think I look great, my friends think I look great, and apparently strangers on the street think I look great because I get asked where I get my haircut all the time. My only regret is that I didn't meet Donna sooner. Not just because my hair looks great but because the other recommendations she made for me.

5 Stars: BEST SALON IN NEW YORK CITY (by lulabelledarling)

lulabelledarling — Mon, 21 Mar 2005 01:00:00 GMT

I have lived in New York City for 10 years and I have tried out almost all of the top salons. I cannot begin to tell you what a relief it has been finding Eva Scrivo! The atmosphere couldn't be better - spacious, relaxing. I was actually seen on time! And the stylists and assistants are WONDERFUL. You cannot beat the value of their service for the price. I've had both cut and color done there and both times it turned out beautifully. Thank you, Eva Scrivo, for saving me from any more bad hair days!

5 Stars: Mind Blowing (by bellag)

bellag — Fri, 18 Mar 2005 01:00:00 GMT

I just had the most amazing experience, and i can't believe i'm saying that about a hair experience. I saw Donna and she blew my mind. I've never had a stylist listen to me like her, she knew exactly what i needed and was on. It was so nice to have someone tell me what would be best for me. I've been all over this city and she is definetly the best kept secret. I loved her so much i sent my boyfriend to her and now we're both addicts. I can't go anywhere without someone complimenting me on my hair and asking me where i go.

5 Stars: So thankful for Eva! (by susansw)

susansw — Thu, 17 Mar 2005 01:00:00 GMT

I'm not sure what I would do without Eva! No other cut/color will do! She truly listens to her clients, but always makes the best suggestions without being pushy - and she's always been right in my experience! It's not inexpensive, but to feel like a million bucks, it's surely worth every dime! Book an appointment right away!!

5 Stars: The best salon in the city! (by veronlodge)

veronlodge — Thu, 17 Mar 2005 01:00:00 GMT

I'm a beauty editor/writer, so people constantly ask me to recommend stylists & salons. I've been going to Eva Scrivo for years, & am always happy to tell people that the combination of Eva's impeccable style & taste paired w/ the beautiful space makes it my favorite place in New York. The entire staff is friendly & open, so it's cozy & welcoming. The predominant aesthetic is uptown-meets-downtown, so no matter what your style is or who you see, you'll definitely leave happy. Plus, see Shellie for amazing acupuncture and cupping: She's a true healer & totally cool on top of that! & how genius that you can have access to alternative medicine & get your hair/nails done under one chic roof? You won't be disappointed.--Erin Flaherty, Beauty & Health Director, Jane Magazine

5 Stars: What a great salon! (by ljohn2)

I recently came here for the first time to get my hair colored and cut. I'm now in love with the salon and the staff! I've been going uptown from the West Village for years for my hair. I can't believe that I've been spending all this time commuting and paying over $300 for haircuts when this gem has been just around the corner from my home! I wish I would have discovered it sooner. The quality of the work here is higher than at any uptown salon I've been to, and everyone is so warm and friendly - something that I've never before experienced in other celebrity-owned salons. I had my color with Mira and cut with Eva (I tried to schedule both with Eva but she was booked, and Mira turned out to be amazing with blond highlights). My hair never looked so great!

5 Stars: Best Haircut in the Meatpacking District (by ccstanton)

ccstanton — Wed, 16 Mar 2005 01:00:00 GMT

In search of the perfect cut and color, I went to 3 different salons in my neighborhood, the Meatpacking District. I finally found perfection at Eva's salon. She managed to straighten out the mess I brought to her with truly beautiful color and then she gave me the best haircut I've ever had. No matter how muc I neglect my hair, somehow it always hangs right- it's because of the cut...just perfect.

I had my hair cut with Antonio this week and absolutely love it. The salon was relaxing and friendly and would highly recommend it. Antonio is friendly, informative and skillful and I think he is definitely a "keeper" in my opinion. He took me on time and I was in and out in an hour. The staff was also very friendly and accommodating. I will definitely go back.

5 Stars: Best haircut (by jennifer_hart)

jennifer_hart — Tue, 22 Feb 2005 01:00:00 GMT

Daniel Rechelbacher, a stylist at Eva Scrivo, is brilliant! He gave me a haircut that looks presentable for all types of jobs but also has a certain chic that is great for going out clubbing or to a party. It's very trendy but posseses a timeless quality. Plus, I can put it up in a french twist or many other up-dos. I think this is the best haircut I've EVER had!

just a wonderful experience....from the moment
I walked in.

Eva's color and hair cut are the best I have ever had. She makes you feel like you are the most important client and leaves you feeling fantastic.
Compliments are frequent after statrting with Eva

Worth the hour trip in to the city from new jersey.

Having had my hair cut by every high-end salon in the city over the past 15 years, I will state definitively that I will only use ANTONIO at Eva Scrivo in the future. He is every city girl and boy's dream stylist.

5 Stars: great salon, excellent staff (by reheats)

reheats — Sat, 23 Oct 2004 02:00:00 GMT

go to this salon if you are looking for some major pampering and a great cut. i ust got my hair cut here today for the first time and i am so pleased w/ my experience. as long as i still have money i will definitely go back, as it is a little pricey ($90). i saw antonio and thought he was fabulous. he is just what the perfect hair stylist should be--nice, smart, patient, creative, and skilled. and although i can't really recommend anyone else but him, i was impressed by what the other stylists at the salon were doing.

5 Stars: Best salon ever! (by plutomuc)

plutomuc — Fri, 24 Sep 2004 02:00:00 GMT

Eva Scrivo is the best stylist ever! Not only is the salon stunning, Eva listened to my concerns for my hair (which are numerous) and worked with me to achieve what is the BEST cut, color, and style I have ever had. I would recommend everyone go to Eva if they want to come out of a salon feeling confident rather than running for a hat. MAKE AN APPT. NOW!

5 Stars: Better than ever! (by rerenyc)

rerenyc — Thu, 19 Aug 2004 02:00:00 GMT

There are times in life when we experience stress. To go through major life events and come out looking better than ever is rare. I have and I attribute it to the skillful hands and fabulous demeanor of Eva Scrivo and her staff. My skin is glowing and I haven't had a bad hair day in year. My haircut highlights the best features of my face and I can recreate the salon look at home. Eva guides you through the process, from products to blow drying tips. I am moving to LA and will fly back to NYC, to see Eva and continue looking and feeling fabulous!

Being an artist, time and movement are always important and noticed in my visual field. To find a true Artist Hair Stylist is indeed a very rare find anywhere in the world... But I did! Eva Scrivo is a true gift with abilities to shape a head of hair to have the natural and unique movements only found in nature. As a result, my hair flows as it moves, like an exquisite wave that before only existed in my imagination.

Living in New York for over 15 years, i have been to some of the finest salons in the city. Finding this beautiful, modern hair salon nestled in the very chic meat packing district was exciting. Eva was not only amazing at her craft, her attentiveness and keen eye were very impressive. Her staff was warm, extremely professional and friendly. I not only recieved probably the most beautiful blonde highlights and haircut in years, my facial and massage were equally delicious! I could not be more excited to have found such a treasure of a salon with such talented artists! I have been back several times and couldn't be happier-Thank you Eva!
