Timothy John's Salon

I actuall live overseas, but went into Timothy John's last week for a last-minute cut and colour. Feliciano did a BRILLIANT colour with the prettiest highlights .I have a rather unusual colour -- a copper-gingery red, which can throw some stylists for a loop, but he got it SPOT ON! And a really nice cut too! All the staff there were lovely. Anytime I'm in NYC you can be sure I'll be back!

Pros: Brilliant colour, lovely staff, all very skilled

Cons: Can't really think of any!

After years of miss after miss after miss with my hair, I tried Timothy John's Salon. I had my haircut with Elena, and she gave me the best cut and style I have had in the city. I have read the reviews on here over and over, but never wanted to risk a change from my other stylist who was giving me mediocre cuts. So finally after much contemplation and anxiety, I made an appointment. Im so mad at myself for not going sooner. The salon is cute, and clean, and everyone seemed to be in great spirits. My haircut with shampoo, scalp massage, and blow-dry was under 80.00. Totally worth it!!!!

Pros: Great Location, Great Prices, Great Great Great Style

I just had my hair done yesterday here and I've been going for "a while." It's the third salon I've been to since I moved back to NY in 2004 and it's the best so far.

To counter some of the other reviews: my original stylist left and I started seeing Dawn who has been wonderful and we talk about what I want and we try different things and it either works or doesn't work but she listens to me and some of my ideas just haven't worked so we go back to what did work. But she listens. And I notice the other stylists do as well.

I'm GLAD they spent the time letting my color sit and glossing it. and what are they supposed to do while my color is setting? Play cards? I mean, they have to make money too! And yesterday my color sat for almost 40 minutes. If they do that 3 or 4 times a day that is a lot of time to throw away.

PLUS I get to watch the other cuts and colors being done and even the junior stylists are so professional and methodical. They get it right and Timothy does oversee their work. I think Feliciano, the youngest stylist, has so much talent. I love watching him work.

And they sell product but never force it on you or even try to sell it like most places I've been to. Yesterday was the first time I bought something there because I just really liked the product and the last time she used it, they didn't have it for sale. Even with product, my cut and color is less than most places that do not give as much time and attention.

My cut and color takes hours and I know that it's an effort and I'm glad it's made.

If you want to spend more money for less attention and come home laden with useless products that someone forced on you then go to another salon!

If not, come here for reasonably priced quality cuts and/or colors.

Pros: excellent stylists, small salon, reasonable prices

I actually first tried TJ salon a week after paying $125+ for the worse haircut of my life. Elena, who came highly recommended by a friend of mine, was so sweet, she fixed my hair and was 100% professional -- she could have insulted the other salon I had gone to, but she didn't, she just focused on giving me an amazing haircut (for less than $125 too!). Elena has given me great haircuts and highlights ever since (2 years). I have even recommended this place to a few friends, and they've had great results.

I've always found the rest of the salon very clean and the rest of the staff very nice. It's a fairly small space and I generally spend 2+ hours there on a Saturday when I'm getting a cut and highlights so I think I get a pretty good perspective on the salon. I've never noticed anyone being anything but professional and friendly. I always feel welcome here

Pros: Haircuts, Highlights, Elena, friendly staff, wide variety of products offered

Cons: none

Posted 07/20/08

I am a very simple girl. I dont like to spend a lot of time getting ready, doing my hair, make-up, worrying about my wardrobe, i simply work too hard in a tiny little office where I hardly see anyone, so it doesnt really matter. I went to Timothy John's because of the good reviews here, and because the price seemed reasonable. Feliciano did my hair, and for the first time in my life, I felt glamorous. He gave me a beautiful haircut, but he also took the time to explain a few products, how to use them, and how to style my hair at home. All simple techniques that make my simple self look amazing with not a lot of effort. Thank you Feliciano for taking the time to really help this simple girl.

Pros: Everything was great

Posted 07/18/08

I've been seeing Elena for my hilights color and this last time was the best it's been. She also has a very comforting and calm presence. I am happy to recommend her.
I am sad to see the owner speaking poorly his former staff. It might not be any of my business, but I've been attending this salon for some time and I don't ever recall anyone being negative. I think it's bad business to speak so poorly of young people who are trying to make a living and who worked hard to make money for your business. As a concerned client I would ask the owner to be careful about his own negative attitude.
Otherwise, I think Elena is the best part of the salon and I hope you treat her well.

Pros: Elena for color

Cons: Negative ownership

Posted 07/16/08

After reading like all 160reviews or so, I decided to try Timothy John's Salon. I saw Elena for color and Dawn for my haircut. I love it. Calm atmosphere, music was fun...80's I think, and genuine nice people. Ill be back!

Pros: Great salon

Posted 07/16/08

I have been a client of Timothy Johns Salon for about 4 years now. I am a person who loves changing my hair a lot!!! Timothy John's staff has always been great to me, they have chopped my locks off, giving me sassy cuts to even elegant more feminine looks. I have had my hair colored from black, red, deep purple, and different shades of brown, to now blonde (which I love). Every request and change I have wanted, they have accommodated and made it look fierce! I don't stick to one stylist, I tend to float around the salon to whatever stylist is available to apply my color or finish up my cut. I trust everyone that works there knowing that they are all trained and experienced with all types of hair, color, and precision styles. Over the past four years I have not only noticed my hair change but so have the stylist. I have seen many come, go, and come back again. The staff currently there I would say is the best, and the strongest I have ever seen it. They are like a little family. Which is great to see in a work place (wish my work atmosphere was like that). Before coming to TJ's, my locks were fried and broken, and even after the constant changes I demand from them, Timothy Johns Salon has somehow made my hair healthy again (recommending different products and treatments to help sustain healthy/shiny hair). Thanks guys! I get so many compliments all the time!!! Last time I was in we even chatted about putting in extensions. Timothy recommended Feliciano (whom has been cutting my hair over the past year), and I have no doubt in my mind that its going to turn out fabulous! I look forward to going into that salon, and am always greeted with a smile. Thanks Timothy John and your staff for being the best! See you soon for those extensions. :)

Pros: staff, atmosphere, affordable prices and fabulous hair!

Cons: none.

Posted 07/16/08

I checked out city search to find a new salon after my favorite stylist left Timothy John's. I've continued going still because they have my color formula but the quality just isn't the same. I noticed some people asking where the stylists have gone. I hope this doesn't receive a nasty response from the owners but if anyone knows please post it.

Posted 07/15/08

I am a long time client of Timothy John's Salon. I was one of the first people through the door nearly eight years ago, and have been a loyal client since. I have watched Timothy bust his tail to make his place successful, filled with amazing stylists, amazing staff, and wonderful clients. I just read the review about turnover, and can tell you that Timothy John's is better off without most of the stylists that are gone. I visit the salon every month and have had my hair touched by nearly every stylist in his salon. I am a regular, recieving hugs and kisses from everyone, except for a few( thank god they are gone)! When one of them goes, it is normally the best thing for the salon. My last two visits have been some of the best in years. The mood is light and the energy is clean of any negativity. I trust Timothy and his judgement of character, and when a stylist leaves, it has been because they were most likely unable to keep up to the high standards that has made his salon a success. I always look forward to my time at the salon, especially now that some of the negative riff raff have gone. Dont listen to the garbage talk most likley posted by angry ex-employees. Visit Timothy John's, and you will be greeted with a smile, treated like a real person, and leave looking wonderful and feeling like you have a lovely extended family.

Pros: Amazing Poeple, Amazing Talent, Amazing Friends

Posted 07/15/08

I recently moved to NY from LA and was really trying to find a great salon...and I couldn't resist the amazing reviews. I was not disappointed. My haircut is perfect! Thank you so much. I plan on making many more visits to the Salon.

Pros: service and prices

Cons: stylist ran late

Posted 07/15/08

I used to love to go to this salon, but since so many people have left it's just not the same. I would really like to say that it's just as great as it used to be but I suppose all things must change. Whereas I used to be gauranteed a great service, now I'm not sure how it will turn out. Sometimes good sometimes not. Unfortunately, I can't take those chances with my hair. It's been a good run.

Posted 07/14/08

Looking for a great stylist in New York is hard to find, but I have found him! I got my haircut from Feliciano and he is awesome. At first they said he was a junior stylist and I was skeptical. Not anymore! The staff is great and the salon is so cute and intimate. I asked for something chic but won't make me look like I'm trying too hard or make me look older. He listened closely to what I wanted with my hair and we worked out a good compromise. He explained what he was going to do and made sure I was comfortable. Not only he gave me the best haircut I've ever had but he showed me different ways how to style it at home. Everyone is commenting on my hair! Thank you Timothy Johns for having Feliciano and I will be back!

Pros: Great stylists Affordable

Cons: NONE

Posted 07/14/08

It took me a while to get to this salon and I was so excited to get my hair done by the stylists who were recommended. But when I called I was told that none of them work there anymore. Where did their top stylists go? I relented and saw Feliciano. I was a little less than thrilled with the results. When I returned from the appointment my friends informed me that he is a junior stylist. Apparently everyone but Timothy is a junior stylist. Again, where did everyone go? And why are they passing off people with very little experience as top stylists?

Pros: close to my apartment

Cons: everything else

Posted 07/14/08

I just had my hair cut and highlighted by Elena, and she is.....should I say great! Its been a long time since my hair looked and felt so wonderful. The color is a perfect mix of blond, caramel, and lt brown, and she gave me a great haircut. I wanted to keep my hair long, but wanted it to look fun, she did it...long and fun! She also introduced me to a product called Moroccan Oil. She described it as a dry oil that I can use before and after I blow-dry my hair. Im in heaven. Elena is Great! Ill be back!

Pros: too many to list

Posted 07/08/08

I recently had my hair colored and cut at Timothy John's salon and was so happy with my experience. I'm sending all my roomates and friends. I have been all over this city for cuts and color...AND never have been treated with more care and respect. My hair turned out to be exactly what I wanted! Thanks to my new stylist Elena!!

Pros: Great prices, friendly desk management, Redken products

Cons: NONE

Posted 07/05/08

I went to Timothy John's this past week because of the great reviews, and of course the 20% off. What a wonderful place. I love my haircut from Feliciano. He gave me exactly what I asked for, and I felt like a model when I walked out. Seriously, he is amazing. Thanks Feliciano!

Pros: Feliciano Rocks, Salon is Great, Nice People

Posted 07/05/08

I am usually on a budget and thought, let me splurge on a haircut for once. This was my first time at the salon and I liked the atmosphere, all the stylists appeared friendly and relaxed, and the salon itself was cute. I was not pleased with my haircut and I feel that I was clear about the style that I wanted. I had asked for more volume, and did get this on top of my head and didn't understand why the bottom part had been thinned out. I thought it would look better after a few days but this is not the case. The stylist was professional and polite, however, was a bit rough with my head (when moving it forward and backward, and combing it, etc.) In the past, I got more compliments about haircuts I had gotten from my previous salon which charged half of what I paid for. I wish I would have had a better experience, because I do like the salon and the ambiance. I won't be returning for the above reasons, and am glad that I checked it out.

Pros: Nice salon, friendly staff

Posted 07/03/08

I have seen salons come and go in Midtown, and I know why Timothy John's is here. He is simply the best in NYC. I am a salon hopper, looking for the best stylist. I have spent hundreds of dollars on a haircut to under 50. Price doesnt matter, I simply want my hair to look the best it can. Having met many owners of Salons, I know they can be less than welcoming, but Timothy is a young, fun, charming person, with a welcoming smile and friendly disposition. Besides that, he gave me the best haircut i have ever had in NYC. We had great conversation, and when I realized that the haircut and blowdry style was only 85.00, I felt like I had pulled the wool over someones eyes, and walked out without paying the full bill. The salon is cute, and it looked like everyone was getting some fabulous hair. I dont think I will be salon hopping anymore. Thank you Timothy!

Pros: Nice People, Great Haircut, Perfect that its in Midtown

Cons: I cant take Timothy home with me to style my hair everyday!

Posted 06/25/08

Believe what they say....This place is great. I went to Timothy John's yesterday because of all the great reviews, and believe what they say....the salon is great. I was looking for a talented stylist who would listen to what I wanted, and guide me towards something that was fashionable, but functional and definately not hi-maintenance! I went to Elena, and she took my plain brown hair, and gave me amazing dark blonde highlights with a few pieces of red for fun. Then she gave me a great long layered cut....exactly what I asked for, but far more fashionable than I ever could have imagined. Thanks Elena!

Pros: Talented Stylists, Great Prices, Fun place

Cons: cant think of any yet

Posted 06/24/08

A few thoughts. This is neither recommend nor not recommend. I've been coming here a while but am looking for a new place.

1. There seems to be a lot of turnover here. And no one explains where your stylist went.

2. I don't think Timothy is particularly friendly to customers even though he owns the place. He seems slightly annoyed most of the time. Maybe something else is going on here. Maybe that's why stylists left.

3. My cut and color does not have to take as long as it does but stylists fit other customers in between as if I've got nothing to do but wait around. Most places fit a quick haircut in while your coloring is setting but this seems to be a very long time for it.

Looking for a new place.

Pros: nice salon, good products, nice glossing

Cons: unfriendly, high turnover, appointments take too long

Posted 06/03/08

I recently moved to NYC and have been holding off getting my hair done for fear of the worst. I read a million reviews here, and decided to go to Timothy John's. Lauren was my stylist, and she is better than I could have ever imagined. She and I discussed what color would be a lot of fun, yet still ok for my corporate job, and decided that we would go for a fun layered bob (Not the posh spice one either). Because I have so many different colors going on with my hair, Lauren asked Timothy the owner for his opinion. He graciously came over, and we all decided on highlights with some copper for sass. Lauren ROCKED my color and the haircut is....Awesome! My girlfriends at work freaked, and two of them made appointments the same day. Thank You Lauren and Timothy....I cant wait to come back.

Pros: Charming, Great Vibe, Amazing Stylist

Cons: Small but not cramped

Posted 06/03/08

I have been a client of Timothy John's for about 5 years. Unfortunately I have seen a few stylists come and go, and recently one of my favorites decided to go. I had an appointment for highlights and a haircut scheduled, and when the receptionist called me to let me know, she suggested I see Feliciano! I was devistated. She assured me that I would be in very capable and wonderful hands, so I reluctantly said....what the heck. He is AMAZING!!! Feliciano listened intently on what I wanted to do. He assessed what I have had done in the past, and he suggested color that would pop for the summer! I walked out feeling better than I ever have. Plus he gave me the best blow-dry I have ever had. Everyone is commenting on my hair. Thank you Feliciano, and Timothy John's for taking care of me. Your Amazing!!

Pros: Everyone there is great

Posted 05/27/08

I picked Timothy John's Salon for a few simple reasons:
1. It's close to my office (Midtown West) - just two short blocks from Broadway - but tucked away enough that you'd miss it if you weren't looking for it.
2. It was affordable - a men's haircut was $45 and I used a first timer's coupon for an add'l 20% off. They also offer future discounts for referring friends and family.
3. It was Village stylish but in the heart of Midtown West/Hell's Kitchen.
4. The staff was very accommodating over the phone, explaining the pricing structure and making it very easy to make an appointment.
I would pick the Timothy John's Salon again, for ONE very good reason:
They just know how to cut hair, which sad to say, many "chains' and other saolns in NYC just do not know how to do. I honestly felt like I was getting away with something when I left and only paid $42 total (with tip) for one of the best haircuts I've ever received in my adult life.
The space is small and funky with great music choices (it was '80's new wave day when I went, which was awesome) and there's no hard pitches for products or styles like in some chain salons.
My stylist, Lauren - who was one of the nicest and most easy-to-talk-to people I've ever had cut my hair - took her time, didn't go right to the clippers (a HUGE plus for me) and too the time to ask me what I was looking to do. She wasn't in a rush and was careful while being efficient.
I know it sounds a bit overdramatic, but honestly, I would recommend this place to any guy who sweats over their hair like I do - the staff makes it easy to relax, they do great work and it's at a reasonable price. What else could you want?

Pros: They know what they're doing, no high pressure sales pitches, patient and attentive staff.

Cons: none

Posted 05/21/08

I have been going to Timothy John's Salon for almost two years now and have had the pleasure of having Amy as my stylist. From the beginning she has been nothing but patient and attentive to my needs, as I can be a pretty picky and when it comes to my hair. She really takes the time to listen to what I want and makes suggestions of what would look best for my face and hair type . A few months ago I decided to chop my hair off which was a VERY BIG deal for me.. after showing her some pictures and discussing with her what I had in mind she gave me the exact cut I had in mind! I absolutely love it and get compliments on it all the time, it's such a great cut that I don't think I will go long again- thanks Amy!

Pros: friendly staff and atmosphere

Posted 04/15/08

I literally just returned from getting a much needed haircut from Dawn. I can't believe this salon exists. Everyone was truly nice and friendly as well as very professional. This is the first time I can honestly say that I am 100% thrilled with my haircut. Dawn really knows her stuff and she listened to what I wanted and gave advice. My hair is just awful but she knew exactly what to do. I've been back about a half hour and 6 co-workers have complimented my new look. Now, I know scissors aren't a magic wand, but in Dawn's hands, they must be, as she totally transformed me. She also recommended products to use to maintain my hair without any pressure and made suggestions. She also showed me what to do at home when styling it. I could not have asked for a better client experience. Although you can't put a price tag on customer service, my hair style plus the products cost 50% less than what I pay in NJ. I had to mention that as icing on the cake. Thank you Dawn and Timothy John's. See you soon!

Posted 04/13/08

I recently went to the timothy john hair salon for the first time and had my hair cut & highlighted by feliciano. He was really sweet and my color looks great. Their prices are very reasonable especially for the manhattan. I highly recommend this salon and will continue to see feliciano.

Pros: hair color

Cons: bad music

Posted 04/13/08

Thank you Timothy John's Salon for having Feliciano! He is wonderful. He gave me one of the best haircuts I have ever had. I love a longer look, without being boring and long. Feliciano listened to what I had to say and gave me a wonderful new haircut. It is still long, but so sassy! I feel wonderful about my hair and myself. Everyone at work is gagging over how hot I look. Thanks for that too!!!

Pros: Great Location, Great Style, Great Price

Cons: None

Posted 04/07/08

I entered the salon with over dyed--made me unhappy and feel/look older hair--that I had been torturing at another salon...and exited with happy, healthy, color I ADORE hair.

Feliciano was amazing--He was faced with a Herculean task (I have masses, and masses, of course/dry hair that swallows color like a sponge)..and he consulted with Timothy and the rest of the fabulous team to come up with a strategy (it sounded like my 11th grade chemistry class) that would both lift the awfulness without damage--and then custom create a color that would make me feel ( and I must say LOOK!) fabulous...

The staff is wonderful, the vibe relaxed..and I highly recommend this salon.

Pros: People who really know what their doing.

Cons: That I didn't find them sooner.

Posted 03/05/08

I heard about Timothy John's on Citysearch sometime last year. The comments were positive...and they were absolutely right!!! This place is amazing. As a college student, I was looking for a place that wasn't too expensive. A basic cut/style is about $65, which is GREAT for Manhattan!! Elena does my hair, and everytime I walk out feeling like a million bucks. They train their staff well. Everyone is incredibly friendly...you don't want to leave! I recruited 3 of my friends to get their hair done at Timothy John's. I live in CT permanently and the Bronx P/T -- the commute is rough, but WORTH IT!!!!

Pros: Everything!!

Posted 03/04/08

Thank you Timothy John's for living up to your reviews. I always wonder if these are real, and they totally are! I went to Timothy John's last week for hightlites and a haircut. From the moment I walked in the door, I knew that I was in a good place. The receptionist was very nice and helpful, and there was an energy in the place that was electric. People were laughing, talking, reading magazines. My stylist Dawn, listened intently to what I was hoping for, and she gave me her professional opinion, and in the end I felt like we were exactly on the same page. I walked out of the salon feeling refreshed, beautiful, and completely satisfied. And my hair looks georgeous too! Timothy was working right next to us, and he very cute and funny. No wonder his salon is great. Anyway, believe it! Timothy John's is the place to go.

Pros: Cute, Clean, Great Quality

Cons: Couldnt stay longer to hang out!

Posted 02/28/08

I was a first time customer to this hip midtown salon. A friend recommended the place to me. Feliciano gave me a wonderful haircut. He was attentive to my needs and really shaped my hair up. I met Timothy who owns the salon and he was very nice. The gentleman at the desk, David, was terrific and gave me a great sample of an amazing hair oil. The salon is chic and hip without trying too hard. They have great decorative mirrors at each station. The atmosphere is relaxed and the prices are really reasonable for the cut and for the location. I am defiinitely going back to this salon as soon as I need a trim.

Posted 02/25/08

Moving to NYC is daunting enough without worrying about where you're gonna get your haircut. After scouring the net for salons that might be a good fit, I found Timothy and I'm so glad I did! My sister is a stylist and has been doing my hair for years but Timothy immediately made me feel comfortable and was very attentive yet relaxed. He understood how my hair would lay if cut a certain way without me having to explain and took the time to experiment with my look to get it how I liked. The salon itself is also super cozy and has a warm character. Everyone smiles and it all adds to the open inviting environment unlike the "name" salons where it can be a bit cold. I'm looking forward to going back and highly recommend!

Pros: sincere and talented service, no attitude, friendly

Cons: none

Posted 02/15/08

My last hair stylist was my friend and he became too unprofessional and expensive, so I decided to go on city search to find a Salon in my neighborhood. I saw all the great reviews for TJS and decided to book an appointment. I've been going to my last hair stylist for 3 years so it was a bit scary to have someone new cut my hair. I read some good reviews about Feliciano plus he was recommended to me if i wanted an edgy hair cut. So I booked it with Feliciano. The reviews were right! He really was great!! I really like my hair cut and all my friends notice my hair that day especially my boyfriend. This place is affordable and the staffs are friendly. I am definitely coming back and will recommend it to my friends .

Pros: Feliciano is awesome! The place is cozy and affordable

Posted 02/11/08

I moved to NYC from DC a little over a year ago. For the first few months I was here, I traveled back to DC just to get my hair done. (If you're looking for someone in DC, email me... I know JUST the guy!). But that got expensive. So I went to a place on the UES that got pretty good reviews, and was recommended by a friend. I liked the color the first day, but after a month, I already looked like I needed a touch up. The color was too light and I was really unhappy at the flatness of my cut. So I looked for a place in City Search with good reviews, and found Timothy John's. I booked an appointment with Dawn, and went in with low expectations. But I felt immediately at ease. Dawn LISTENED to what I wanted. She took my coloring and preferences into consideration, and I absolutely love the way it turned out. So Dawn, thank you. Now instead of having to travel all the way to DC, all I have to do is go around the corner!

Pros: location, color, Dawn

Cons: none

Posted 02/10/08

This is my second time going to Timothy Johns, and it is just as the reviews describe. First I had Kathy and she was good. This past saturday I had Elena and she new exactly what to do with my limp dull hair and made me look Vibrant and feeling Great! After a long hard year of Breast cancer diagnosis and surgeries i needed something to boost my spirits and feel attractive again , she accomplished this for me. For the Past 7 days I have not stopped receiving compliments about my hair. I would definitely recommend this salon to anyone! Thanks

Pros: friendly staff

Cons: none

Posted 02/08/08

I have been to DOZENS of hair stylists and am VERY particular about my hair. I've never had such beautiful hair as when I leave Timothy's chair at his salon!!! I can't even express how gifted he is at what he does. My hair looks flawless! He gave me the most beautiful blonde color to ever grace my head and I get compliment after compliment on it! His salon is beautiful and the rest of the staff is wonderful as well. You really can't go wrong. Do yourself a favor and book an appointment with him at his salon. You will be so thankful to have him as your stylist! I know I am and will never go anywhere else again!

Posted 02/08/08

I have to say that this was my first time going to a salon after years of getting my hair cut at Barber shops. After today's experience, I have found myself a new place! I was really nervous going to a salon but I needed someone to fix what a barber had done to my hair a few weeks ago (It wasn't pretty). Being a guy, I wasn't sure if I was going to fit into the salon setting but the staff was extremely nice and helpful. I had my hair cut by Feliciano and he did a great job. He explained what he was going to do and was constantly making sure that I was happy with it along the way. He took the time to show me how to style it and what products to use. He also answered my crazy questions about what the chairs in the corners with the lights on it were (yeah, they were hair dryers...it's ok, feel free to laugh at me!) I will definitely be coming back again and I have already given your card out to a friend! Thanks!!

Pros: Friendly and caring staff that makes you feel comfortable

Cons: NONE!

Posted 02/08/08

Timothy is the mailman because he totally delivers! I recently had my haircut and highlights done by him and I absolutely love it. For my highlights I didn't have a specific look in mind, so Timothy picked out the colors for me and it worked out SOOOO WELL. He really knows what works. I also referred my sister to him for her haircut and she is really happy with it, and it looks wonderful on her. We are definitely both going back in the future. After trying so many salons in the city, I finally found one that works for me! :)

Pros: Staff is friendly, attentive, and qualified professionals.

Cons: None

Posted 01/31/08

I recently visited Timothy John's Salon and had my haircut by Lauren. She is amazing. She was very sweet, she has a really cool look, and she is fun to talk to. Oh, and she may have given me the best haircut of my life. She listened to what I had to say, and gave me a look that was better than I could have even described. I have long hair, and I like it long. She kept the length, but gave me .....pazazz! Thanks Lauren...I will be back.

Pros: Amazing, Great Price, Nice People

i have been going to this salon for over 3 years, and i have never wanted to go anywhere else. it is a very friendly and relaxing environment. they make you feel at home the second you walk in the door. and the quality of the service is tremendous. whether it's a hair cut or coloring, you always come out looking fabulous. that's true with all of the stylists. i have had my hair cut by at least 3 of the stylists, and i have never disliked how it was cut. they are very good about talking with you first and discussing what you want. even as they are cutting, they check to make sure it is to your liking and are willing to make any changes. and when you're done, everyone compliments you on how great you look. granted, i'm sure that's part of promoting the biz, but they are always very genuine about it. for a new york salon, the pricing is very reasonable. overall, it is a very fun and comfortable environment, and you are always in good hands.

Pros: Friendly staff, awesome hair cuts

Cons: I can't think of any!

I have been a client at Timothy John's for over 4 years now, and all the Hype is true. My schedule is crazy and I tend to make appointments at the last minute. So I have seen almost every stylist in there. They are all amazing.....Really!!! It took me years to find a decent haircut in the city, and I know why....all the good stylists are a Timothy Johns. The salon is quaint and charming, and the staff is always very friendly.

Believe the reviews- Timothy John's is fantastic.

My friend and I were both nervous about searching for a new salon in the city. We had both had a mixed bag of previous experiences ranging from mediocre to average. We found Timothy John's online, and after seeing the glowing reviews decided to try it out.

Both of us got appointments with DAWN and I can't write enough good things about this stylist. My previous haircut was completely straight and lacking any shape so I had asked Dawn to style it up as much as possible. She explained what sort of styles would work for me and what looks were complimentary to my face. I could see she took everything I said into consideration, truly listening to me and then put a lot of thought into how to achieve the best look for me.

I went to Timothy John's an indecisive customer hoping for some guidance in styling. Dawn was very vocal and opinionated about what would look best and thus exactly what I was looking for. She also advised me on what sort of products I should be using for my hair type (without being pushy about selling) and how to style my hair at home.

Both Dawn and the man behind the front desk were friendly and welcoming. The cut was probably about $20 more than I had been spending in the past, but the difference in quality was tremendous. Plus, first time customers can print out the 20% off coupon on the Citysearch site. I feel it was money more than well spent, and I can't wait for my next appointment! I'll be scheduling with Dawn, but the integrity of the place is such that I would be comfortable trying a new stylist as well.

Pros: Friendly staff, quality of cut, value

Cons: None!

All my life I have had one hair disaster after another. Every salon I ever went to told me I had difficult hair to work with. Somewhere along the way I guess I believed them. My hair has been a mess for a long time now, and I have been too afraid to go anywhere to do anything about it. Until a friend recommended a great salon in New York City to me. The only problem is that I live in Canada. To my surprise my friends planned a trip to New York for me, so I thought this could be my opportunity. I found this website, and did a little research about the salon. I liked what I read, so decided to take a chance. Small town girl lets loose in the big city. Thank goodnes I did. The salon is so cute and cozy. Inviting and relaxing. My hair stylist, Timothy John, made me feel at home. I felt safe and in capable hands. Because Timothy made me feel so comfortable, I decided to let him do whatever he thought would be best. I am so pleased with the results. The colour and style he did makes me feel so young and fresh. I couldn't be happier. I no longer feel like just a slouchy at home mom. I feel alive and vibrant again. My only negative is that they don't have a salon here in Canada. I'm going to work on that! My haircuts are about to get very costly, because I can't imagine going anywhere else and having any other stylist than Timothy John at Timothy John's Salon. My friends thank you, my husband thanks you, and I thank you. Here's to feeling "Human Again!"

Pros: A great atmosphere with great people who have great skills.

Cons: Wish they were located in Waterloo, Canada

Well I decided to go short with a haircut in Sept. and I love it but it requires maintainence and I can't get to my old hair stylist very easily (he's in Jersey) so I needed someone in the city...and that's not easy. I found Timothy John's salon right here on citysearch and saw that the reviews were good so i decided to give it a shot. At first I was a little peeved that I waited for a while to get my hair shampooed but that was only because i was in a bad mood...my stylist Feliciano did a quick, friendly consultation with me, my hair was washed and then I was sitting in his chair. He cut my hair in a way that showed that he was dedicated to giving it a good shape. He listened to what I wanted ( minimal upkeep, hip, but not too hip) and also added his own flair. At the end of the haircut a woman was walking by on the street, stopped and mouthed "you look beautiful!!" and then came into the shop and asked Feliciano how much he charged!! So needless to say I am going back (already booked my new appt.) and have already told people about how great the salon was, especially Feliciano!

Pros: Great price, friendly and skilled stylists, comfy place

Cons: waited a little too long at the beginning

I just moved to the neighborhood and wanted to get my haircut around here! I called randomly one sunday afternoon and someone had just canceled an appointment for Timothy John so I scheduled an appointment with him and came in within 30 minutes. It was a great experience, I really enjoyed my haircut and the people! I will definitely go back! Thanks!

the best part about having my haircut here was leaving! i had to try my hardest not to cry in the bathroom after the cut was over. i don't know if amy actually has any qualifications in hair cutting, but it certainly doesn't look like it. my hair is uneven and choppy. thanks.

I am by no means an old woman, but I had an old hairstyle, which made me look like an old woman. I asked Timothy for a change. There were a lot of young hip people at the salon, and I expressed that I didnt want to try to look like I was a young hot thing(i am not), but I wanted to look stylish. Timothy gave me a few options, and we decided together on a beautiful layered bob. He is so talented, and kind. Not only did he do a beautiful haircut, he helped me with styling products and detailed instructions on how to achieve the look at home. Eveyone in the salon looked wonderful. When all of my co-workers ask....No Question! Timothy Johns.

Pros: Clean, on time, helpful

I never knew my hair could look this good. Amy made my thin hair look full. She said it was a combination of color & cut, I think she is a genius.
I didn't think I could get my hair to look as good as it did when I left TJ salon. It didn't look as good as when Amy did it, but it was close. I couldn't believe the compliments that I received. Not only did I walk out with fabulous hair, I walked out in a better mood then I walked in with. Amy was professional & funny. I am a client for life!!! THANK YOU AMY!!!!!!

Pros: AMY

Cons: That I can't hire Amy to do my hair everyday

So... I had a really great review here, but I've changed my mind. For the price, TJ's is an average place to go for a cut. It's a cute salon, the space is designed well for the size, and the lighting is good. The people are very nice as well. They use Redkin color, which is a very gentle and clean brand with vibrant and rich color and a nice conditioning quality. Overall though, these people are not the top hairstylists in the city. Now, I won't pay $300 for a cut and an additional $500 to $700 for color, but I will pay $25 more to get a superior cut and color elsewhere. The last two times I have been there I have had inadequate results. Part of the problem is that the salon stacks their appointments too close together and inside of each other which makes it even more difficult for young and more inexperienced stylists to focus. Problems with my last two appointments: 1) I went in for base color, partial highlights and a cut - base was good, highlights over processed and WAY too blond. I specifically asked for low-lights and was told highlights would be more "fun". So I compromised and asked for subtle, not chunky - I was streaked. The cut was average, but the right side grew out WAY uneven with the left in five weeks time. 2) Went in to cover the streaky highlights, was told to use a semi permanent color, picked a good blended color from the Redkin chart, turned out nearly three shades darker. While processing the stylist had another cut, he left my color on while finishing her. End result, damage. He rushed through my cut - a long straight bob - which wasn't what I asked for. It was uneven with no movement or texture. I have found a new person elsewhere - first cut with her and she said I had a terrible cut - I laughed knowingly as I've spent 45 minutes a day trying to make it look good for far too long. New cut - beautiful and the treatment was totally different. I'll never go back to TJs for mediocrity again.

Pros: Good space, good lighting, average pricing

Cons: Inexperienced stylists, too much chatter among the staff, not very relaxing, chop shop mentality
