Timothy John's Salon

I found the salon on Citysearch, and decided to try it out hoping for the best, but figuring that even if I came away with a bad haircut, I'll be disappointed but, 'it'll grow back'. Lucky for me, I got KATHY as my hair stylist and I left the salon BEAMING. She's patient, gives a great and honest consultation and is very obviously is serious about her profession!! I have already recommended the salon and specifically Kathy to my friends. You won't be disappointed either! :)

I went to Timothy John's Salon the other day, and really enjoyed my services there. It was very busy at night, but it still felt personal, and not like some of the factory salons I have been to. I was lucky enought to get in with Timothy at the last minute. He is great. He listens, and does exactly what he says he is going to do. I have very thick coarse hair, and he steered me away from a style I pulled from the magazines explaining the maintenance, and styling issues with that particular style. He was honest with me, and gave me a wonderful cut with great style that is manageable for me. Thank you Timothy.

Pros: Great Style, Great Location, Nice People

Cons: None

You do realize, topdg, that they cannot legally charge your credit card anything just because you missed an appointment. A credit card can only be charged with a signature, and since you didn't give them one, you can contest it with your credit card company. It's only the people who don't contest it who get charged these "missed appointment" BS charges. Just contest it, they can't charge you anything without your written confirmation. Trust me, I'm a lawyer. And I've been to this salon, I know how horrid everyone there is. You didn't miss out on anything. They're catty and provide bad service. My hair is still fried from Amy and her shoddy work. You got lucky!!!!!!!!!

Pros: none

Cons: FRAUD

Posted 09/07/07

I have to concur with the reviewer below me. I had always used Kathy and while she was away this summer, I made an appt with Elena instead. SHE WAS AMAZING! I love the salon, but, I was neverous to try someone new, I mean it took me many years to find a stylist in NYC to begin with (had been taking Amtrak to my gal in Philly for 10 yrs now). The price cannot be beat and work is great.

Pros: Price, Hours, Service

Cons: Far away on the Westside

Posted 09/03/07

The customer service is wonderful. The staff is all you could ask for.
I will continue to use this salon, even if I have to drive an hour and half to get there!!

Pros: just a great service

Cons: none

So I read all the reviews and decided to call for an appointment with Amy which I can not write enough compliments in this review to do her or my new hair style justice. The salon in and of itself is adorable and very welcoming ,which we all know in NY is uncommon. I felt comfortable and confident in Amy's skills as soon as I saw the gorgeous color and cut leaving her chair when I arrived ....relieved!!!! Thank you Amy so much for listening to what I wanted and making suggestions and giving me the best color and cut,I have ever had not to mention the entertaining conversation. I will see you in six weeks. A little advice book in advanced had to wait a couple weeks due to my schedule needs but well worth it...

Pros: comfortable atmosphere and amazing artist

Cons: none

Elena saved my life!! I bought a box of color at Rite-Aid, and it looked like the perfect shade of strawberry blonde. It turned out to be the perfect shade of PINK!!! I had a wedding to attend two days after in which I was standing up as a bridesmaid. I couldnt possibly be up there with pink hair. I called Timothy John's, and Elena squeezed me in. She took me from pink, to the perfect strawberry that the box was supposed to give me. Afther the color, she fit a haircut in, and gave me this excellent deep conditioner by Morrocan Oil. It is fabulous. Needless to say the wedding went off without a hitch, and I looked amazing, and felt beautiful. Thank you Elena!!

Pros: Knowledgeable, Friendly, Life Saving

Posted 08/23/07

i read all the reviews and decided to try this place out. i had an appt with elena (or elisa, i forget her name). anyway, i dont kno what happened but now theres one lock of my hair thats just sticking straight out and isnt calmed by any products. it;s all ridged weird on the bottom, like it was cut wrong or something. i had to go to another hair salon to get it fixed! she didnt really listen to what i had to say and cut my hair like it was on a center part even tho i use a side part. i was unhappy and would not return. the guy who answers the phone has an attitude too

Pros: no sales pressue, clean facility

Cons: different haircut than i wanted, kinked out lock of hair

Posted 08/20/07

I just got back from Timothy John's. It was my first time there and I must say I'm very happy about the results. I was a little nervous about getting a haircut considering I've had several bad outcomes before, but as soon as I walked in I calmed down. Everyone is so friendly and you don't get that attitude that you usually get from professional stylists in NYC. Feliciano did my hair and it came out exactly how I pictured it. He was really friendly and gave me great layers and bangs that gave my flat hair extra volume! I highly recommend this place for anyone wanting a professional haircut for reasonable prices.

Posted 08/18/07

Every time before that I'd been to this place, I've gotten great service, great hair. I don't know what happened, but things went downhill severely in the past couple months. I stopped going to Amy because she didn't do my layers like I wanted and I used Timothy instead. He wasn't available recently, so I said it'd be ok to go with Amy. it's not like she does horrible work or anything, it's just not the best. From the get go, she was in a bad mood. I said I wanted to keep my length the way it was, and she cut half my hair off! I had long hair so it made quite a difference. I haven't had a tomboy cut since I was 5 and I changed it because I want to look like the girl I am, not like a boy. I look hideous! I've never had such a bad cut. I don't know if she was mad because I'd stopped going to her and she knew it, but it was a horrible cut, WAY too short and choppy layers. She acted the whole time like she had better things to do and when I said goodbye to her, she was just said "whatever". Literally. I would've complained, but Timothy wasn't there and I didn't know if any of the others there were the next-in-charge. I'm going to come back, but only if I can get Timothy. Don't waste your time with Amy- you will cry with the results and be treated badly. I look like my hair was cut with those plastic kiddy scissors. I have never been so unhappy.

Pros: timothy

Cons: amy, bad attitudes

Posted 08/16/07

I've been to many hair salons, but the staff at Timothy John's were different. From the very start, I was treated like family. It was obvious that my Stylist, Amy, has a natural talent when it comes to handling people and this makes her exceed in her profession. I was nervous about changing my hair color, but Amy had enough confidence for both of us and my hair turned out wonderful. She was very hands-on and she didn't work with too many other clients during my visit (which drives many customers crazy). At the end of my apppointment, I gained 100% trust in Amy and I felt that my hair found a new home. I love my new color and I highly recommend Amy and Timothy John's Salon.

Posted 08/15/07

I went to Timothy John's hoping for a miracle. My hair was just BLAH and I really needed something new and fresh. Timothy was my stylist, and he is fabulous. He took extra time to discuss my cut and color, not only taking my face shape and coloring into consideration, but he also thought that my free-spirited personality needed a style to match! Awesome! I loved the result. When I went back to work, my co-workers were fawning over me. They just had to know where I had my hair done. The entire experience was just perfect and I can't wait for my next visit. Thanks for making me feel beautiful Timothy!

Pros: Fantastic experience, Great Staff

Cons: None!

Posted 08/14/07

Timothy John's Salon is the best. I went to Timothy John's Salon recently and saw one of their Junior Stylists. Junior??? He was amazing. Feliciano did such a great job on my color and cut. If a junior stylist at Timothy John's is that excellent, how do you think the rest of the stylists are? I would imagine brilliant. Thank you Timothy for hiring such great people.

Pros: safe, clean, excellent staff

Cons: none so far

Posted 08/14/07

I had my haircut by Timothy and I went from long to short...I LOVE IT!!!
Thanks for the great haircut. The staff was especially nice despite how busy everyone was. I highly recommend this salon.

Pros: Timothy's haircuts

Cons: None

Posted 08/14/07

The staff at Timothy John's has always encouraged clients to see another stylist if your stylist was busy. Well I never strayed, until I had to, And I am so glad I did. Fortunately for me one of the stylists left, which gave me the nerve to try Elena. She is amazing. She gave me the perfect short haircut. I will miss my old stylist, but sometimes change is good. I wish I would have listened before.

Pros: Cool Place, never have to leave my neighborhood, Great Stylists

Posted 08/14/07

I am a doctor and don't have a lot of time to worry about my hair. Plus, my 1" short thick hair leaves little to be desired. This being my first time at an "upscale" salon I was skeptical about the possibility of anything new happening with this rug. Somehow Kathy worked a miracle and gave me a great shape. For the first time I feel like I actually have a style. I'm so glad my friends recommended this salon. I'll be back every 4 weeks.

Pros: Kathy works miracles

Cons: none

Posted 08/12/07

Timothy John is the best. I read the reviews on this site, and decided with so many good ones, I would try it out. I havent had my hair done since I moved into the city, and it was a mop! A lot of people were hip and young there, I am not...hip...or young. He gave me an up to date, elegant, and manageable style. He is also a perfect gentleman. Try him out.

Pros: Easy to get to, nice people, great value

Posted 08/12/07

I tried another salon because I couldn't get in to see Kathy, but when I got one of the worst haircuts of my life I ran back to Timothy John's. I saw Elena and she saved my tortured locks!
Now that Kathy is back I'm so glad to have my stylist of 3 years back. But now I know that if I can't see her I'm safe in the hands of any of the stylists at the salon.
Thanks for giving me peace of mind.

Pros: All great stylists

Cons: Kathy sometimes leaves to work on films

Posted 08/12/07

I have been to a lot of salons, but this place is so sweet. Everyone is really nice, and the work is excellent. I went to Elena, and she did and excellent job. She gave me beautiful highlites and a haircut that looks better than Posh's. I am so happy, and all of my friends are in love with my hair! Go see Elena!!!

Pros: Elena was great, everyone else looked amazing there too

Cons: none so far

Posted 08/12/07

I was very sad to hear that Efthemia left, but I love going to Timothy John's, so I took thier suggestion and saw Feliciano! They told me he would do a great job...And he did. He was great, and I have to say he gave me as good if not better haircut as Efthemia. She was cool and I will miss her, but I trust Timothy and his staff. I would never leave!!! Thanks Timothy for bringing in another great stylist.

Pros: Always an excellent haircut

Cons: will miss efthemia

Posted 08/12/07

The day I signed my divorce papers I decided I needed to change a few other things in my life. The first was my hair. Amy at TMJ is the only stylist that has ever been completely honest with me. I wanted the Posh haircut. Amy explained to me why a variation on the cut would work for me. She was honest without being negative. I wasn't going to have my hair colored, but she suggested that highlights & lowlights would warm up my face & bring out my eyes. Not only was she right about that but everyone keeps asking me if I lost weight. She is a Goddess. Amy was a wonderful surprise at the end of a horrible week. THANK YOU AMY!!!!!!

Pros: Good conversation, very funny

Cons: Not one

Posted 08/12/07

I've been seeing Timothy for 2 years now and when he's not available I've had the pleasure of sitting with Amy and Kathy. I have to say it is one of the nicest experiences and I always look forward to going. They are so friendly with all of the clients and with eachother. They're obviously a tight knit group. Not only do I come out looking great, but I feel like I've spent the afternoon with some great friends.
Thanks for being an oasis in this concrete jungle. :-)

Pros: Always a pleasure

Cons: only need a haircut every 6 weeks

Posted 08/12/07

I have tried many different places in the city, and Timothy John's Salon has definitely been my best experience and best haircut. In particular, Amy does a consistently wonderful job.

Posted 08/01/07

Seriously, I walked into Timothy John's and was treated as if I have been there many times before. I am an actor on Broadway, and I am very particular with my cut. I audition for film and t.v., and have to look like my headshots. Amy did an awesome job. She was so funny, and charming. She walked me through styling and helped me with some shampoo. I love my haircut. It looks exactly like my shot, but better. I cant think of any other place I would rather hang out. They should have like haircut bar night. Thank you Amy...I will have to give you 10% if I book this next gig.

Pros: Fun, On time, Just what I was looking for

Cons: It was too busy to stay and chat with everyone. Could have hung out all night.

Posted 07/31/07

I have never written a review for anything before, but I have to tell you about my experience at Timothy John's. I had a drunken moment, and decided to color my own hair. I know Im not the only one. Anyway, I called Timothy John's after reading all of the great reviews, told them what I did, and without any judgement, they booked me in the next day. They told me they would make some calls and try to fit me in because I was having a huge event for work the next eve. They called back 10 min later and told me that one of their clients agreed to move so that I could be squeezed in. I was so happy. Feliciano with the help of one of the other girls took my hair from a crazy yellow orange to the beautiful caremel blond I was hoping for. Thank you thank you thank you thank you. Timothy John's went above and beyond to help someone out who they didnt even know. I will always come to Timothy John's, and I promise to stay away from the boxes!!!!

Pros: Great Work, Helped get me in, Saved my job

Cons: Nothing!!!

Don't waste your time with Amy- you will cry with the results and be treated badly

Pros: Previous wonderful cuts, Timothy

Cons: Amy, current horrible cut

Posted 07/30/07

The staff seems really nice. They seem to cut good hair. They seem to also not want to show any interest in keeping the appointment. I showed up at my appointed time, and was promptly kept waiting for 15 mins. I feel that's a bit much, when they made such a big point of telling me ahead of time how crucial it was to be there on time and that time was THE only available time. Clearly, it wasn't so available.

An appointment at a hair salon? If I'm on time, the stylist should be too.

So if you have time to sit around all afternoon, by all means go for it, maybe they'll get to you eventually.

Pros: They all look like they know what they're doing....

Cons: ...but they're too busy for me to find out if that statement is true.

My mother, daughter and I recently took a short trip to NYC and one of the best parts of the trip was the fantastic highlights and cuts we got at Timothy's. Our appointment was set for 2 pm. When we got there, the place was devoid of customers and I got a little nervous. All three of us put our fates in our stylist's hands and asked them to use their professional judgement and give us a change. Within 15 minutes of starting, the place was packed with customers and my initial fears subsided. Elena did my hair and I love it! Efthemia took my daughter's locks from long to short (something I had suggested for years) and Sarah looks and feels very chic. My mom's hair was telling the damage of 20 years of home coloring. A junior stylist under the watchful eyes of Timothy transformed her hair. She is so happy with it that she is budgeting more for hair care and talking about giving up the home highlighting.

Timothy's was very accomodating. My mom had originally scheduled just a cut and style, but once there she wanted the works. They were able to squeeze her in by making a few adjustments.

Pros: friendly, knowledgable staff

Cons: none

Posted 07/24/07

I have been in New York for about a year and have tried a few other salons, been disappointed, and was needing to find a place I could count on to go and get great color and cuts! I found Timothy John's on Citysearch and decided to give it a try. I have definitley found my place! The atmosphere is unpretencious and welcoming and everyone who works there is very friendly. Timothy did a fantastic job! My hair was in some serious need of help! It had been a long time since it had been cut and my highlights had grown out substantially, and though I hate to admit it...there were several grays taking their place. I booked an appointment with Timothy for single process color, highlights, and a cut. When I booked the appointment, the receptionist told me the names of the stylists that were available for the day and time I wanted and was honest in telling me that a cut with Timothy was more expensive than with the other stylists (though it is still very reasonable). I have been to places that don't tell you that and appreciated her honesty. Timothy made me feel instantly at ease and discussed color options with me, but in a way that I understood. Most importantly, I LOVE my hair now! As Timothy was drying it and styling it, I couldn't keep my eyes off of it! He did a brilliant job on hair that needed some TLC. He told me the products he was using on my hair, but there was never any pressure to buy them, which I loved. I really don't like when salons try to push the products they sell on you! As I was waiting for my color to set, I was watching the other stations and everyone else was getting great styles and color as well, so I think that all of the stylists will do a great job, but I can only speak for my experience with Timothy. I have found my place in NYC will not be going anywhere else! Thanks Timothy!

Pros: relaxed atmosphere, fantastic results, great value

Cons: none

Posted 07/21/07

I recently went to Timothy John's for my first NYC haircut. After traveling back to CT for two years because I was afraid to let anyone other than my first stylist touch my hair, I decided it was time to find a stylist in the city. I was very anxious about it, but in the end could not have been more pleased. Timothy did exactly what I asked and it came out great. The salon has a nice cozy feel and everyone I talked to was so nice. They clearly care about their customers and make an effort to make sure their clients are happy and look good. Now I have my NYC salon. :-)

Pros: Haircut, nice people, quick scheduling

Cons: none

Posted 07/20/07

I have been going to Timothy John since he was at the David Ryan Salon on West 46th Street, then followed him to his own place further uptown. Timothy is an artist and a very skilled one at that. Every single time he cuts & colors my hair, I get compliments -- even months later! I love Timothy John and the Timothy John Salon! Go -- you will not be disappointed. cj

Pros: Small salon feel; great service

Posted 07/01/07

Being from Wisconsin ,and wanting a "New York" kind of hair-do, it was suggested that I go to Timothy Johns Salon on 53rd Street. I was really very nervous, as this was quite the experience for me, visiting such a big city and getting my hair colored and cut. I am in my mid fifties and was worried that I would not fit in with all the "hip" New York people. Boy, was I wrong! I have never been treated more graciously or more professionally. That staff is straight out of a magazine. While you are being worked on (Timothy was my stylist) every person there concentrated on his or her own customer while engaging in conversation, and creating amazing looks for each person that had any sort of work done. Wow you should have seen the awesome cuts, styles and colors that I witnessesd!!! I felt that I belonged to a very elite club!!! Timothy decided that numerous color highlights would be just what I needed. He cut my hair, highlighted , blew my hair dry and when he was finished I felt like I had been on a reality show and had won a makeover.
Upon returning to Wisconsin, I have had numerous compliaments on my new look. I will definately visit the salon on my next trip. Just One Suggestion..........Open a shop in Wisconsin!!!!!! Thank you again

Posted 07/01/07

I went in for my haircut yesterday for the very first time. I am very particular on the way a stylist cuts my hair. Efthemia was excellent. She was a good listener, took off my dry ends, gave me a good style/haircut. I told her what I wanted, low/no maintenance, natural... and she produced it! It was a very good experience and affordable.

Posted 06/07/07

I've been going to Timothy's salon for years and never regretted it. It is definitely worth any extra money if you are use to spending less.

Ask for Efthemia, the cool, dark haired, Greek girl. She always spends an hour on my hair and for a simple guy's haircut. She does an excellent job.

Posted 06/05/07

I found the Timothy John's Salon here on citysearch... and I couln't have been happier. The salon is low-key and relaxing, with a very professional and talented staff . I had a amazing hair cut with Amy and I can not begin to explain all the complements I have gotten since my cut. I have been to a enough other salons in the city to know that this place is a great find!

Posted 05/30/07

I have been going to Timothy John Salon for a few years now, aqnd I have to say it is one of the best salons in NYC. the atmosphere there is very relaxed, even when they are busy. I find myself getting there early for appointments just to sit and enjoy the vibe and read a magazine while i wait. The staff is relaxed and professional, and even though they may be coloring someone else's hair or checking on another client during my haircut, they are always repectful to introduce me to the person who might be washing my hair at the time. I have seen Efthemia, Timothy and Amy. All must be a little bit psychic, because I go in saying I want something short, or I might be growing my hair out for a change, they seem to know exactly what I am looking for in a new hair style. One of they biggest strengths is telling me what they recommend in light of the little direction I give. Also, if they use a new product on me, they tell me all about it and its pros and cons before they put it my hair. This even goes for the shampoo! And never any pressure to buy what they used. A few weeks ago, I was hosting a huge event and had to look great on stage. I scheduled my appointment with Efthemia, and although she was out sick (thy gave me the option of rescheduling with her later, but due to my schedule, I was unable to) Amy listened to my needs for the next night, gave me pointers on how to refresh the look later and gave me an amazing style. All that night I was being told how wonderful I looked, I am sure it was due to her genius. For my normal appointments with Efthemia, she is sure to give me something new and interesting. Every time I go there I am always amazed on their balance of seeing a lot of clients (there is someone in every chair when I go) and their personal attention to client's needs. On a scale of 1 to 10 you guys are a 12!

Pros: personal attention, informing clients of what they are doing to your hair

Cons: sometimes really busy, and hard to make appointments on short term

Posted 05/19/07

I didn't like the colorist at my old salon and decided to try this salon near my apartment. The employees are super sweet. The salon is clean. Elaina did an excellent job. Price is reasonable. I just didn't like the environment in those hip, trendy, "I think I'm cool" salons.

Posted 05/18/07

I've lived in NYC for 8 years now and have been to a few hair salons. This one is my favorite! I decided to try it because it received rave reviews on citysearch and down the block from me. I've been impressed since my first visit 2 yrs ago. The salon is small, inviting, comfortable and has such charm and great talent. The people are very friendly, including the owner Timothy John himself.

You get a great cut & color at such a reasonable price here. I am sure all the stylists are great, but I have been going to Efthemia since day 1 and she is amazing! She is a really cool gal with beautiful hair herself! I always trust her with my hair and she provides great consultation on what to do with my hair (cut & color) when I ask. And she spends the time to make sure it is perfect and never rushed. The end result is always fabulous. I highly recommend her and this salon overall. It's a great find!

Pros: Great cut and color at reasonable price

Cons: none

Posted 05/18/07

I was browsing City Search to find a hair salon that is close to my work to get a haircut during my lunch hour. I picked this place because it is close, but I will definitely go back because the people are very nice and everyone there seems happy. Amy cut my hair, and she did exactly what I wanted ... even though I was only able to give her a vague idea and I brought a picture with me to help me with my inadequacy to be able to properly describe how I want my hair cut. I would definitely recommend this place to someone who doesn't want to spend $100 for a good hair cut.

Posted 05/10/07

I found timonthy john and amy on citysearch a few months ago and they're great. My most recent trip had amy take me from long blond hair to short and dark brown! It took 3 hours and came out GREAT!!! Amy helped me pick a color and talked about the different variations of the cut I wanted. I was really nervous and she put me at ease and it came out AMAZING!!!! I definately reccomend the salon. It is nice without being pretentious, and Amy does fantastic hair and color

Posted 05/07/07

I'm new to the area and before my move I got the haircut from hell. I've been busy with work, and the new living situation, and hadn't had time to remedy the mess on my head until last night. I couldn't take it anymore so I literally started walking the streets near my new place looking for a salon. I stumpled in to Timothy John's Salon as they were just closing and the staff offered to take a look at my hair. Like I said, they we're closing so I started scheduling an appointment for later in the week when Timothy came up to me and told me he was staying late anyway and would fix my hair for me. This top notch professional took pitty on a ratty haired walk-in, and stayed late at the salon turning my awful hack job (with chunks of hair missing, totally unever layers, some weird mullet things doing on) into a neat, hip looking bob. Only a seriously talented professional could have salvaged my hair in this situation and I feel really lucky I found this salon. Maybe the initial hair cut was a blessing in disguise. It helped me try a new hair cut that I wouldn't have had the guts to try otherwise and it helped me find my new salon.

Posted 05/04/07

I just moved back to the east coast and it's been a few years since I was finally settled and could call a salon 'my own'. This could be my new 'home'. I found Timothy John Salon on citysearch and checked out their website which played a major factor into choosing to go there. I LOVED reading about each stylists because it's a reassurance that your going to get someone who's knowledgable and knows what they are doing. I was greeted with a warm friendly smile when I walked in and the salon has the cozy feeling. Amy was my stylists and it was great to finally have someone who is personable and knew exactly what I wanted plus had some great ideas for color. The scalp massage was soooo relaxing and a great way to start. Amy was very thorough and created a style that is easy for me. I liked how I wasn't afraid to tell her if I liked something or not. The entire staff was friendly and not snooty like some salons i've been too. The prices are great and I look forward to coming back for color! The location is also easy and convenient to my work! My only downside was that my appointment started 15 minutes late and I was on my lunch break so it made me late back to work BUT it was worth it! THANK YOU!!

Pros: Friendly staff, great prices for NYC!

Cons: I honestly don't have any

Posted 05/03/07

The fabulous Timothy has been cutting my hair since he opened his salon 6 or 7 years ago, having been recommended by a good friend. I've been thanking that friend ever since and intend to thank her again after finally getting highlights from Timothy the other day. I'm giddy with the compliments I've been getting. I've been coloring my hair myself for many years, but have been doing a poor job of it now that I have a lot of gray. Timothy redid my color and I swear, it's taken years off me (I'm over 50) and looks completely natural. He explained exactly what he was going to do and let me know that with all the colors I had in my hair he'd probably only be able to accomplish 80% of the color correction. To my eye, and the eyes of the people who have been raving about my new look, he achieved 100%. The atmosphere in the salon is fun, young and down to earth - and that includes the clients as well as the staff. Many performers trust their look to Timothy and his wonderful colleagues, and what more of a recommendation could you ask for. Needless to say, Timothy will be doing my color now as well as my cut. If you want to look your very best, make an appointment. You won't be disappointed.

Pros: Color, highlights, great price

Cons: not a one.

I just saw Amy last weekend and, like always, she gave me a gorgeous cut and color. I've received numerous compliments from friends (as well as strangers) since Saturday. I read the previous post and was pretty disappointed that someone was talkin' sm@ck about her! Amy is so sweet and it just doesn't seem like she would have that type of attitude towards a customer. While I was there, she kindly greeted every single person who walked in, was generally very talkative and friendly, and even gave me a hug when I left! It would be unfortunate for someone to read the previous post and opt to see another stylist or even worse go to another salon altogether just because of one person who had a bad experience. I have no ulterior motive in writing this (not related to anyone there or anything!)- just a very happy customer who wants to make sure I spread the good word :)

I have been going to the salon since I first moved to the big apple 5 years ago. I am now moving across the river to NJ and will continue to make the trip back to the salon every 6 weeks to see Efthemia. The thought of switching to a closer salon to my new home never crossed my mind. Efthemia does amazing color!!

Pros: great color for brunettes, price is right

I was recommended to Elena through a colleague and have been going ever since to get my hair colored. She listens to what you want, recommends / suggests when appropriate and at the end, does fantastic highlights! I am a licensed beautician, although I have not practiced in a salon in a few years, and I can be very picky when it comes to my color. I've never been disappointed with my blonde highlights - great coverage and a lovely color. I'd recommend her 100 %. The only semi-negative point has nothing to do with her but with their policy and price; policy: if you cancel within 24 hours, you are charged a lot of money (I think its close to 1/2 the service cost); price: I find their highlights on the pricier side.

Pros: GREAT highlights with a smile!

Cons: hair color prices seem a bit high

Timothy John's is an exceptional salon! As soon as I walked in the door I was treated kindly - no Snobs here! Elena gave me a superb cut, color and highlights. She listened to me and everything turned out the way I wanted but better! I am never ever going anywhere else! Thank you Elena!!!

Pros: Everything

Cons: Have none to list

The Timothy John Salon provides top notch cuts and color. Friendly staff, a clean and well appointed setting, easy to access right off 8th Ave, and extra touches such as scalp massages and eyebrow trims makes this salon a standout!
I always leave looking and feeling 10 times better!

Pros: Skilled staff and upbeat atmosphere

Cons: None

I went to Timothy John's this week and thank God I did. I have been going to the barber in the Subway and I have to admit....Timothy is a genious. I still had him give me a short haircut, but my short haircut doesnt look like Im about to join the marines. Thank you!!! Worth every cent.

Pros: Great Hair, great people, great style

Amy gave me one of the best hair cuts I've ever had! The layers look great and are easy to maintain. She also recommended some great products that I now love!

Everyone was very welcoming at this unassuming salon. The atmosphere is cozy with a neighborhood feel, which attracts a diverse mix of friendly people (you can tell there are a lot of regulars!) The massage with the shampoo was so relaxing and is just one example of how the salon goes out of its way to make their clients happy! The prices are affordable and even the products were reasonably priced. I will definately be coming back for my next cut! ~ JoAnna

Pros: Great stylists at an affordable price, welcoming atmosphere
