Timothy John's Salon

I went to Efthemia on 3/19 and I was given one of the best cuts I have EVER received. She did exactly what I asked her to do and gave helpful suggestions and feedback on what would be best for my hair. I am very happy with my cut. The prices at this place are also a bargain for the quality and atmosphere! Great music playing! The whole experience was wonderful from the moment I walked through the door! I'm so so happy I found this place!

Pros: Atmosphere, Quality, and Price

Cons: I didn't go there sooner!

Posted 03/19/07

I had a HORRIBLE experience here. I went in yesterday asking Efthemia for a professional look that is modern and edgy, as I am starting a new job on Monday. I was very specific with how I wanted my bangs to be: slightly shorter on one side and left longer on the other, to be swept to the side. I asked her if she understood, and she repeated it back to me. She cut my bangs extremely short across the whole forehead. It is NOT a professional look. When she was through, I said that this wasn't what I asked for, and couldn't she do anything to fix it, as I'm on the verge of tears. Instead of showing any sign of concern, she said, "I've never had anyone cry in 9 years." I understand that these things happen, and I'm sure she thought she was doing what I asked, but there is a better response for situations like these.

I went back in today to speak with the owner, who accused me of miscommunicating, and then said, "We are done here. I don't want to look at you. Leave and never come back." WHAT?? I have never received such nasty service. I was being very reasonable. I never raised my voice. I was fair in saying that I'm not blaming anyone, but this isn't what I asked for. I was merely speaking up for my unsatisfactory cut, and the best suggestion anyone had was "it will grow." While that is true, I'm starting a new job in 3 DAYS feeling very UNHAPPY with my cut. There was no offer to compensate me for my bad experience, nor was there an apology. I AM APPALLED.

I noticed that the owner is very fond of rebutting reviews, especially the bad ones. I also noticed that he encouraged one reviewer to speak up before leaving the salon, but I don't see how one can win here regardless. THIS SALON IS A LOSE-LOSE SITUATION.

I will say that both receptionists were very polite, but I cannot say the same for anyone else. I highly recommend the owner and stylists take a course in customer service, as this will be an excellent investment for your business.

I just moved to New York City about three months ago and was panicking at the thought of finding someone that understood my very curly hair. I looked it up on Citysearch and saw all the great reviews so I made an appointment. Amy took care of me and after some discussion about my hair history, we decided to start with an anit-frizz treatment and cut. She is amazing! She took her time and really knew how to deal with my hair. The cut is awesome and she blowdried my hair super straight. I definitely highly recommend this place for the service, the ambiance, and talented stylists!

Posted 03/07/07

This is my third haricut with Timothy John and it only gets better each time. My hair changes constantly and Timothy John is able to work with what I need. He and his staff have always friendly and helpful when I've been there.

And the new renovations look great. The salon is so much more spacious!

Pros: Skilled stylist, fun atmosphere, great new space

Posted 02/22/07

I went to this salon solely on the reviews on here and I am thrilled with my haircut, with Kathy. I have lived in NYC for 6 years and have not found someone who really got my fine, slightly wavy hair...until now. I will be back for colour!

Pros: Skilled stylists and happy customers, reasonable prices.

Cons: None

Posted 02/20/07

My first grey hair sent me into action? highlights! That was the solution. I had no idea what was involved, simply that all my friends were doing it, so how complicated could it be? That was my first mistake. I then went to a pretty reputable hair place on the upper west side and my stylist assured me that she knew what to do. I don?t think she actually did. When it was over, my hair was streaked with brilliant shades of ORANGE. Making the assumption that she knew what she was in fact doing was my second mistake. Coincidentally, while I was getting my highlights (in a color very similar to my 2 yr old nephew?s OskKosh B-Gosh t-shirt), I had picked up a magazine and started to read along. Fortunately it was magazine for stylists. I literally stumbled upon an article about a great new place in midtown, Timothy John?s. Before leaving the UWS salon with my now orange hair, I discretely ripped out the article from the magazine. To make a long, embarrassing story short, I made an appointment with Timothy and he literally performed a miracle. I now had great highlights and by the way, a great haircut. That was a couple of years ago and I?ve been going to his salon every 6 or 8 wks or so, since then. I?ve read a few of the other reviews on here, ones like?Timothy John?s Rocks, Timothy is a color genius? and I couldn?t agree more. Simply put, he?s extremely talented and professional. No orange hair ever again!

Posted 02/12/07

I needed a blowout in a pinch and this salon delivered in record time. Elena squeezed me in between back to back appointments and I walked out into the cold February wind looking like a rock star!

Pros: unpretentious, friendly

Posted 02/09/07

This is now the only place I will go to get my haircut. Having very curly hair, I used to tell myself "well, at least it will grow out in a few weeks" everytime I left a salon. Not at Timothy John's... Everytime I come in, I end up getting a haircut I never would have thought of and it looks great that day, the next day, and weeks later.

For me, that's because of Elena. She is a natural. If you can cut curly hair and do it well, you can cut any kind of hair. I know she has a lot of fans at the salon, so I know she cuts more than curly hair well. She is a natural: intuitive, receptive, and able to "wing it" when you are just not sure what you want. What a superstar. And, she's really sweet and fun to talk with.

But, really if you can't get a cut from Elena or Timothy John, anyone in this place is great! Timothy John only hires the best. Not only is everyone extremely talented, they are also really nice and relaxed. You never feel like you are in a stuffy, snooty salon. All the staff are friendly, and after you come in once they'll remember you the next time...

Seriously, there is no other place in all of Manhattan where you can get this great of a haircut/styling/treatment for anywhere near this kind of price. Go there now before they wake up and realize they could be charging twice as much and everyone would still come and get their haircut!!!

I can't recommend it more highly!

Pros: Best haircuts, extremely inexpensive, Friendly staff
Cons: Only one location! Can sometimes book up quickly...

Pros: Great haircuts, inexpensive prices, friendly staff

Cons: Only one location!! They somtimes book up quickly...

Simply put, a visit to this salon is never a disappointment. A big reason for that is Amy. She simply rocks at what she does. I went here after reading the zillion or so great reviews on citysearch, after a lifetime of just-ok haircuts and a general resignation to the fact that my hair would forever remain the way they were and no hair stylist or product on earth could help. I ended up getting an amazing cut - although I asked Amy for something very low maintenance, she gave me exactly that and more, a cut that looked freshly done even 2 months later.... she proved that a low-maintenance cut doesn't necessarily have to mean "ordinary"... in fact, the numerous compliments I got actually motivated me to keep my hair looking great. She also introduced me to a line of hair products that works wonders for my very difficult, frizzy hair - something i never thought was possible. But there's no sales pressure. I totally trust Amy with my hair now, so much so that the next time I went in, I got her to give me bangs!! And I am so happy with them. The salon itself is upbeat but not loud, the staff are all great, very friendly, prices are very reaosnable compared to many other upscale manhattan salons. I would highly recommend this salon to anyone

Posted 01/31/07

Timothy John is a great stylist with an easy going attitude. Having moved to NYC from Canada recently I was concerned that I wouldn't be able to find a good mens haircut at a reasonable price. TJ has met all my expectations. The staff is friendly; it's clean and comfortable and I've never had to wait more than a few minutes for my haircut. I would highly reccomend this place.

Posted 01/05/07

One of the best places I've gone to get a haircut. I really wasn't sure what style would look good on me, so I just said what I don't want and I got one of the nicest haircuts I've had in a long time. The atmosphere was really friendly, and I felt so calm and relieved. The staff were totally professional and they were really friendly. And the price was so reasonable! What else would I want?!

Pros: Convenient location, friendly and professional staff, reasonable price

Cons: Isn't open 10:00am.

Posted 12/29/06

I went to Timothy John's Salon recently, and had a great experience. The salon is quaint but the place is hopping. There were people in every chair. I was worried that I would be lost in the shuffle, but I wasn't. I was welcomed by the receptionist as I walked into the salon, and told that I would be seen momentarily. I have been to many salons in the city, and most of them ran late, but I only had to wait a few moments before I was seen. I was given an excellent haircut by Efthemia. She is hip and cool, and easy to talk to. She also gave me the haircut that I asked for. This salon is a treasure, and I would recomend it to anyone.

Pros: Quality, On Time, Stylists do great work!

Posted 12/19/06

i had a vague idea of what i wanted for my hair when i went in to timothy john's, but no "hair vocabulary" at all. somehow, amy figured out what i was trying to say and gave me the most beautiful hair of my life. go to timothy john's. all of the hair stylists are amazing. go, now, go.

Posted 12/16/06

I went to Timothy John's Salon for the first time late last week and was pretty disappointed. I read all the rave reviews on Citysearch and had high hopes, but ended up waiting 30 minutes for my appointment, getting probably the worst haircut and blowdry of my life, and getting looked at by some of the people who worked there like I was some kind of outsider - this was odd - it felt like I needed to have a secret password to be part of their club or something. I saw a lot of other people leaving there with beautiful haircuts, it's too bad my experience there was what it was, and I hate to write a bad review, especially since the owner seems to get so angry and defensive when he reads them, but when you have a new client wait 30 minutes for a bad haircut during which the stylist walks away to work on other clients without even saying anything, you ought to do more than just yell back at the client. I'm sure that this salon is great for a lot of other people, I am just not one of them unfortunately.

Pros: Clean, inexpensive, convenient location

Cons: Not very nice to new clients, seem to run late

Posted 12/16/06

that I finally found a stylist/coloris with integrity. I went to two of the most "glamorous" salons in NYC when I moved here and both screwed up my hair. I ended up with orange painted streaks on one occasion and the other was not any better but they amanged to razor the hell out of my curly hair. My friends at work told me to go to Timothy John. Not only did he ask me to come in for a consult on his time, WOW, he was so paitent and deliberate with me I was put at ease. My cut and color turned out amazing! I haven't been happier! The staff is friendly, the environment is warm. Thanks, Timothy, for an excellent job! Linda P from SF

Posted 12/15/06

Great little salon with skilled cutters and a very pleasant team. Always a pleasant experience and always on time (which few salons are). I've been using them for 4 years now and have had my hair cut at places from Bumble on down and really enjoy this salon. If you want people to fuss over you as if you were the Queen of Sheba, go somewhere else, but if you want a salon where they listen to you and aim to please you (not their idea of a great cut) then you'll be as happy a customer as I.

Pros: Great cutters who listen

Cons: None

Posted 12/08/06

So, I found out that my hair stylist had quit his salon and a minute later I'm frantically pouring through Citysearch reviews, trying to find someone new. Timothy John had by far the most (and the most positive) reviews, plus it was only 3 blocks from work. I called in the morning, trying to get something that day, thinking it was impossible, but the friendly receptionist squeezed me in during my lunch hour, which I really appreciated. I arrived with the same nervous energy I have whenever someone new cuts my hair, but I was immediately put at ease with Amy. She knew what I wanted and went straight to work. I have to say: I've been getting basically the same haircut for the past 10 years, and it has never looked as good as when Amy cut it. I didn't have to get used to it or wait until it grew in a little to really like it. I loved it from the moment I got up from the chair. Amy is great, the salon is friendly and neighborhood-y, and I'll surely be going back soon.

Posted 12/02/06

I found Timothy John's through City Search and based on reviews and what I was looking to have done, I decided to book my first appoint with Efthemia. I had color and cut done and it came out great! She really took her time with my hair and was very fun to talk to. Getting your hair done for most of us women and men is a treat and when you pay good money to get it done, you expect the attention to be all on you. This is the exact experience I had. I HIGHLY recommend Efthemia, but I'm sure you'll get the same experience with the others. Oh and price was not too bad :-) My second appointment with her is today!

Pros: Thumbs up on all!

Posted 11/22/06

I absolutely adore Timothy John. He's great with everything - cuts, color and most recently for me extensions! On the rare occasion when I've gone somewhere else (because I've been out of town or out of my mind), he's saved my hair from horrible mistakes (color gone wrong and jagged looking cuts). Currently I have my 2nd set of extensions from him. I get so many compliments on how great I look and no one suspects for a second that its not all my hair. He's reasonably priced and has a fantastic staff too! Go see him, quick before someone else screws up your do.

Posted 11/22/06

Guys - go see Elena for your next haircut. she's really good! i handed her a picture hoping to get a similar hairstyle...and she did a perfect job. For a guy that cares about his appearance but doesn't need to spend a hundred bucks on a haircut at one of the bigger salons in the city, this place is perfect.

Posted 11/16/06

I entered this salon with high expectations after reading previous reviews on this web site about Amy. My color and cut never looked so good and the compliments are endless, which really feels good. Thank you Amy and the staff at Timothy John's, they are so friendly and really help each other out.

Pros: efficient , friendly, clean, and fun

Cons: not a one

Posted 11/10/06

I chose Timothy Johns after wanting to find something close to home and reading so many great reviews on the site. Made an appointment with Elena to "clean up" my short hair, which had been growing out for several months and had gotten pretty unruly and had some pretty sizable flaws from the previous cut. I didn't know what to expect; my hair hadn't been that "long" for years, and I haven't usually been 100% pleased with past results at other places for quite some time. However, after telling her what I wanted, Elena identified the trouble spots right away (without me needing to tell her), and proceeded to give me a cut that ended up being the perfect shape, just the right length, and naturally accentuates the good qualities of my hair type....I hardly have to do anything to it and it just looks great! I learned Elena came to the city from one of Timothy Johns' other locations - I hope we get to keep her here - going by what she did for me she's seems to be a natural at what she does...thanks Elena!

Pros: easy location, nice staff, focused stylists!

Cons: none

Posted 11/09/06

Efthemia at Timothy John's has cut my hair for about a year now. She's quick, thorough, skilled and charming. The place is cute and trendy without being snotty (trendy as in stylish, NOT overly sleek, cold, stark). Everyone who works there is pleasant and experienced.
It's the kind of place where a guy can get a haircut with out feeling prissy, but if he wants high lights no one will bat an eye. Go there, be pretty.

Pros: Good price, good hair.

Cons: Nada.

Posted 11/01/06

Very cute small place on the Westside. Prices are very reasonable. Elena cut my hair. She did a great job, cut my hair exactly how I wanted and she was really polite and professional. I will definitely go back to her. During the consultation and cutting she was very careful and focused. I am really happy with my results and highly recommend this place. And they use great smelling shampoo!

Posted 10/30/06

Best haircut ever. And Amy is the best - a true artist. I hope Timothy appreciates her! The place is friendly, not too hectic -- just an overall great experience. They've dispensed with the lala extras like blaring music, wine and other frills. And the price was very reasonable. I got an appointment quickly and they were on time. Great place.

Posted 10/28/06

after reading all the reviews for this place i decided to try and get an appointment for later in the week. to my suprise and happiness they had one for 15 mins after my work day ends and is only about a ten minute walk away.
it was my first time in the salon and everyone was very friendly (and let me eat my salad while i waited).
amy did my hair she did a great job, took her time and i absolutley love it. she also took some time at the end to help me with my hair for my halloween costume.
the price was very reasonable, especially for the quality of work and for manhattan. i will definatley be coming back.
thanks guys!

Posted 10/25/06

I recently found Timothy John's Salon on citysearch. I made an appointment to see Amy and could not be happier. I was greeted promplty at the front by Amy, and she took me to her chair for a consultation. We had a lengthy discusssion, and decided together what would be best for me. The young lady at the front desk gave me the shampoo of a lifetime, and Amy worked her magic. I have decided to tell the world!! Amy is amazing, and eveyone at Timothy John's Salon looked like they were getting great style. Thank you Timothy John's and Amy!!!

Pros: prompt, amazing shampoo, friendly

Posted 10/23/06

This was the best cut and color I have ever recieved and I have tried many, including a few of the very high end snotty salons in NYC. Kathy totally listened to what I wanted for my hair and did exactly that. And I am very picky about my hair. She was also just a generally fun person, as were the rest of the "crew" there...it's obvious they work well together. It was a really fun and calming atmosphere...literally the most enjoyable, relaxing, best hair experience I have had. Plus, the prices were right. And my friends told me my color and cut looks amazing, so it's not just me:)

Pros: friendly and talented staff, good prices

Cons: Nada:)

Posted 10/21/06

I just logged on to review my experience last night and noticed the scathing review that is posted. My personal experience must have been the exact opposite, because it was truly wonderful from the moment I walked into the salon. The salon is cozy and clean, and the receptionist was so sweet. But most of all...I walked out of the salon with an amazing haircut. Timothy was so attentive and precise with my haircut, and he gave me exactly what I had asked for. I know why they have a 9.9!!! I will be back!!!

Pros: Clean, Timely, Precise

Posted 10/19/06

I walked into the salon feeling less than attractive and walked out feeling like a million dollars. I went to Timothy John's because my friend(the friend who always looks fabulous) told me about it. I have been coloring my hair with the box, and it is never what the box says it is going to be. Kathy came to the rescue! She changed me from a greenish blond to a beautiful warm brunette with honey highlights.... I cant stop looking at myself. I know my color wasnt good, but she never made me feel bad about by kitchen job. She only made me feel comfortable about where we were going. On top of it all Kathy and the front desk girl stayed late...for me. Thank you!!!

Pros: Accomodating, Warm, Skilled

Posted 10/19/06

This place gave me the WORST haircut ever!! I'm really disappointed!! I just cant believe a place with a 9.9 rating would ever do such a BAD BAD job. Any other salon on the street would have given me a better haircut. My hair looks so bad now and my friends have been commenting on how funny it looks. It's really depressing!! To all those who really care about ur hair and the way you look, DON'T ever take a chance going to this place. You'll just be disappointed! And to all those who will be going here for a haircut......GOOD LUCK!!

Cons: Very poor haircut skills, not worth the price, veryyy slow

Posted 10/19/06

I just got a haircut from Kathy and I absolutely love my hair! I am so thrilled to find a place like this so close to me (I recently moved to this area). I feel so gorgeous! thank you!

Pros: friendly staff, amazing cuts, price

Posted 10/19/06

Don't trust these gimmicky salons in NYC... timothy john salon is a consistant and amazing place to get your hair done. I recently had my hair colored by Kathy and it looks amazing. She really knows how to do blondes. I was so happy with the results, two of my friends have made future appointments. Everybody is friendly and responsive....and it doesn't drain your wallet. :)

Pros: Friendly and warm front desk, great colorists, easy to get too

Posted 10/07/06

I recently had an appointment with Amy, and I was beyond satisfied with my cut! She really listened to what I wanted and felt my hair before washing it to make sure that the cut she had in mind for me would work - which I think is the sign that your stylist knows what he/she is doing. The cut took a little longer than usual, but that was because Amy went through every strand of my hair to make sure that it was perfect. I was also greeted by a very friendly woman at the front desk when I checked in, and they always addressed me by my first name, which made me feel really comfortable, as opposed to other high-end salons that treat you like a number rather than a person. The style ended up being exactly what I wanted and what we discussed, and my friends and family keep saying that it's the best hairstyle I've ever had. Not to mention that the price was equal or LESS to what I had paid in the past for worse haircuts. I highly recommend Timothy John's!

Pros: Precision cutting, concern for the client, friendly

Cons: Nothing!

Posted 09/12/06

I had such a great time at Timothy John's Salon! Everyone was so friendly and the teamwork was amazing. David is so kind and Amy is so talented! I love my new color and cut! The salon is darling and the service was excellent!

Posted 08/31/06

Went in for color and cut with Kathy. I had previously been to Louis Licari and John Barrett and Kathy did a better job than anyone I had ever been to at any of those places. I'm not sure if I even explained what I wanted very well, but she somehow just instincively knew what i meant and took her time and put a lot of thought into getting my color just so. I was beyond thrilled! I work at a fashion magazine and Monday moring everyone was ooing and aaahing saying how great my hair looked and dying to know where I went to get it done. Everyone there was super friendly and it was a very relaxing atmosphere. The best salon experience I've ever had in this city and I've been here for 6 years! Kathy knows what she's doing! Thanks Kathy, I LOVE my hair!! - Anna

Posted 08/29/06

Wonderful service! I had my hair cut & colored and everyone, including myself, loved it! I would definitely recommend this salon!

Posted 08/20/06

I saw the reviews here and decided to check it out. When I stopped in to make my appointment, I met with Timothy himself and was very impressed with the level of customer service I received right off the bat. I requested Amy and was given an appointment with her for the next week. She was so nice and listened to exactly what I wanted. I love the cut I got and am definitely choosing this salon as MY salon. I was sick of stylist-hopping! The only con was the bad attitude from the front desk girl/shampoo girl. She ignored me when I got there because she was chatting on the phone to her friend and then seemed to think it was my fault that I wanted some service!

Pros: Amy, Timothy, atmosphere

Cons: snotty front desk girl

Posted 08/16/06

I recently moved to New York and have had a really hard time coping with the fact that I would have to make new friends, find new places to hang out, and most importantly find someone to cut my hair. Well I found him. Timothy John is amazing. His staff greeted me with a smile(which we all know doesnt happen that often in NYC), and treated me as if we had been friends forever. Timothy was running right on time and we discussed what direction I wanted to go with my haircut. I think he knew my trepidations as this was my first haircut with anyone different in years, but he talked me through a few options and we were off. I was instantly at ease, and my haircut is superb. Everyone in the salon seemed to enjoy thier time there as did I. I really felt like I was welcomed to NYC by Timothy and his staff. Thank you!!!!! See you in four weeks.

Pros: Warm, Welcoming, Professional

Posted 08/12/06

My partner and I went to Timothy John's Salon after losing our hairstylist to California. We have several friends that have been pushing us try them so...we did! They are great! Our old stylist gave us the same haircuts, but we left Timothy John's with our own look. We loved the attention we received, and will definately return.

Posted 08/12/06

Conflict resolution is often difficult for most people, but I am an advocate of consumer rights and speaking up when you feel something is not right. I also understand from a business perspective that it is important to be able to defend the establishment and be heard as well.

I went to Timothy John for a non-dramatically different haircut after seeing the rave reviews here on Citysearch. No lofty or unreal miracle expectations - only to be treated as a valued customer and have my hair cut well. I paid for my thirty-minute haircut (the thirty minutes included consultation and shampoo), even though I had to ask for her to balance the front of my hair, which she admitted was not balanced, a blowdry and to see the back of my hair when the stylist felt she was finished.

When I quietly and calmly approached the owner to let him know that I had concerns about the experience I had at his salon, I was met with a defensive and non-listening business owner. I did not raise my voice, nor make demands. Instead I was accused of being accusatory and inarticulate. I told the owner that I understand that as the owner he is defending his employee, but reminded him that I am his customer and felt an apology was in order. At this point, I felt an apology was in order for being treated so poorly by him in this discussion (something along the lines of, "I don't agree, but I'm sorry you feel this way." would have been a step in the right direction)

Instead, he responded by telling me he is "done with this," and told me to leave. I was kicked out of the salon and into the torrential downpour for speaking up. Defending a policy or refuting a complaint is one thing. Kicking out a rational, paying customer into the rain for no reason other than speaking up is another thing. I see that this salon has responded to all negative reviews on Citysearch to defend itself. However, I am interested to see how the salon will defend itself for this blatant offense.

Cons: Ill-will, Poor Treatment and Mismanagement of Conflict Resolution

Posted 08/11/06

I was won over by Kathy's superior cuts two years ago and have since enjoyed consistly sassy, flattering hair styles that never fail to garner compliments. I love her sense of playfulness - both in her cuts and in the fun "girl-time" we share while I sit in her chair. How great to be so spoiled!

Pros: Great Location, Consistantly High Quality

Posted 08/11/06

Hair is obviously an important part of anyone's image and reflects who or what the individual is as much as how they appear. Amy Gerber understands people and how they express themselves through appearance (her eyes are also stunning!) The salon is clean - barely a shorn piece of hair hits the ground before staff are scurrying to clean, the music is ...interesting, but most importantly the haircuts are great and the team attentive. Amy truly knows and understands style - thank you!

Pros: Amy Gerber

Posted 07/20/06

I was looking for a place to get a haircut in New York and based on the Citysearch reviews for Timothy John's I decided to give it a try. Yesterday evening I got a haircut with Efthemia and she was the best. She listened to exactly what I wanted and delivered it flawlessly. Plus she was very clear about what she was going to do and we talked about the cut along the way so that she knew I was liking it, unlike some hairdressers I've been to who just cut and cut and seem to have forgotten the original conversation. In the end I was completely happy with the cut and then when I went to pay it was not bankrupting like so many other salons in the city.

I will absolutely go back to Timothy John's and Efthemia and I would recommend it to everyone!

Pros: staff, skill, prices

Posted 07/11/06

I have never written a review for anything before but since I always read and rely on them I thought I finally should...especially since this place is definitely worthy of praise. Efthemia does the best highlights- and gave me an amazing cut. She listened to what I wanted and suggested thoughful, creative ideas. I loved the result! On top of that, the prices are reasonable, the salon is cozy and the staff is friendly. I am never going anywhere else.

Posted 06/29/06

This is the first salon in New York where I have received a haircut I am happy with. Great atmosphere, prices, and cut. I will definitely go back.

Pros: convenient location, price

Posted 06/23/06

I just moved to the city and I was dreading the search for a new, and affordable, stylist. I moved here from Charlotte, NC where I paid what was considered above average for a cut, single process color and highlights. I visited three other salons before finding Timothy John's and all three were at least double what I paid in Charlotte. I'm so glad I found Timothy John's because just like most women, I would have paid any amount of money as long as I liked the outcome. Well, at Timothy John's I found Amy! Amy did a fantastic job on my color and highlights and I love my cut! She was very thourough and I felt like she really understood what I wanted to have done. I'll be going back to see Amy again and again. I also sent my boyfriend there who left just as happy with his cut.

If you are looking for a quality salon with reasonable prices, go to Timothy John's. I love it!

Cons: None

Posted 06/19/06

Having recently moved from Australia I was dreading the "finding a new hairdresser experience". I need not have worried! I loved my first experience at Timothy Johns. Amy was ready when I arrived for my appointment, she listened to my thoughts, concerns, needs in relation to my hair and delivered a finished product that was the best haircut and color I have had - she really tailored a style that suits me!
Will definitely be heading back.

Pros: Ambience, you can get in quickly, easy to find

Cons: None!

Posted 06/14/06

Today was my first visit to the salon and I am instantly in love!!!! I have very long hair and I am wary of trying new salons, as some stylists tend to get "scissor happy", but my previous stylist had moved to Miami so I was forced to find a new place.

As soon as I arrived Timothy was ready for the appointment. Also, it was a very comfortable atmosphere, it didn't have that pretentious feel that is typical of midtown salons. He sat me down and asked me exactly what I wanted and delivered just that! When I was finished and I walked out the door, looked at my watch and did a double take.... 45 min from start to finish- and did I mention that I have really long curly hair that he had straightened??? Unbelievable!

Definitely Recommend, A++

Pros: friendly atmosphere, great stylists, on-time appointments

Cons: None thus far!
