Timothy John's Salon

I've been going to Timothy John's salon for several years now. The staff are so friendly and inviting! Not only that, but they do great hair! Efthemia rocks for color and cut, Kathy is awesome for updos, and I've never seen anyone walk away from Timothy's or Amy's chairs without a big, satisfied smile on their face. I've gone from short to long to blonde to red to brunet and everything in between with them; every time it turns out great.

Pros: Friendly staff, not too pricy, great results

Posted 06/03/06

Timothy John's is all of these things and more. The talent is that of a big name salon but with the atmosphere, prices, and personal attention of having your best friend cut your hair at your house (that's a good thing). It's relaxing and comfortable and you never have any doubt that you will get what you wanted. An amazing find and another reason to love the Kitchen!

Pros: Talent, Value, Atmosphere

Cons: None

I loved my hairstylist, Efthemia. This was the first time I went to her and she gave exactly what I wanted. I received a fantastic layered haircut and she gave me the perfect contrast of blonde highlights and lowlights. I'm sometimes satisfied with the cut and not the color or vice versa, but here I was completely satisfied. Not to mention, she was very pleasant, as well as the rest of the staff, and gave off a vibe of confidence which made me feel comfortable. Finally, I found my hairstylist!

I was very excited watching Timothy John's Salon open up next door to me. The cute decor was personal and inviting (even the mirrors are hand made). I think I was one of their first customers, and I have been going there for 5 years now. Timothy is so welcoming and friendly with his Wisconsin roots. He will sit and chat with you about his latest bowling tournament, or listen attentively to your stories. The shampoo is more than just getting your hair clean--they actually massage your head. I have had my haircut by both Timothy and Dawn (who is sadly no longer there) and they both did an amazing job. I like to mix it up and get all different styles...curly, straight, short, long, bangs, edgy, classic, and all have been fabulous. Three of my roommates have gone there for hair color and look spectacular.

Pros: Timothy, atmosphere, discounts

Cons: no Dawn

Posted 05/12/06

I had an appointment with 1 stylist. After she did some work, another client came for her; I was thrown to another stylist. Then a client came for stylist 2; I was given to stylist 3, who then handed me to stylist 4 for blowdrying. I wanted to get some moisture out of my hair so I could see the color, but I wasn't allowed to dry it myself and no one informed me I'd be charged. The service was very impersonal. I was barely spoken to & after stylist 1, I didn't know anyone's name. When I paid, stylist 1 ran over; however, since she had another client, I couldn't tell her my dislikes. I have never been to a salon where my stylist didn't sit me in front of a mirror to consult. When I left, I went to another salon for consultation on what I didn't like.

Cons: Impersonal Service

Posted 05/11/06

I've been to this Salon only once, but I am extremely impressed. Elena cut my hair and, in addition to doing a fantastic job, she made the experience especially agreeable. Everyone else was nice, and my appointment was kept on time (important if you're a busy person!). The price for a men's haircut is reasonable and I will definitely be back.

Posted 05/10/06

My entire adult life I have gone from one hair stylist/colorist to another hair stylist/colorist to another...I was a hair harlot. But when I met Timothy about 5 years ago and he did my hair...I fell in love and have NEVER strayed. I have consistantly gotten excellent hair cuts and AMAZING color...Timothy is a true artist. Thanks, Timothy for always making me look and feel FABULOUS!

Pros: Reasonable, Great Vibe, Great Music

All you need to know is AMY. It has been 25years since I was a natural blond. Amy has worked her magic and I am once again as blond as the day I was born. I have sent 4 friends to Amy 2 blondes, a redhead, and a brunette. Lets just say Amy is going to be a very popular girl. The 2 blondes are actresses and have had their hair done by the best, they swear by Amy. I am only writing this because in this city if a stylist isn't busy she moves around and I would like to stay a natural blond. Bonus the cute boy at the front desk is hilarious.

Posted 04/28/06

Amy is a brilliant colorist and stylist. She has amazed me for years keeping me feeling young, beautiful and always in style. I always get compliments on my fantastic color. Amy continues her education as she always has the knowledge of the newest styles and techniques. I would follow her everywhere because she is so wonderful and experienced and always keeps me happy. Amy is the best!!!!

Posted 04/25/06

I have been a devoted follower of Amy Gerber for over five years. I gladly trekked to every salon she worked for in Hamilton, NJ, and I refused to let her moving to NYC stop me. Amy has more insight and skill that she exerts on her clients than anyone I have ever seen. She takes pride in making her clients look their best, and I would never consider trusting my hair to anyone else. Traveling to NYC from Jersey is more than worth the time, effort, and train ticket to have my hair done by the best and most capable stylist I have ever had the pleasure of knowing.

Posted 04/25/06

When I first moved to the city, I tried out several different hair salons in an effort to find "the one." A coworker recommended Timothy John's, and I've been thrilled with every cut they've given me! Efthemia is my favorite (I trust her completely and always leave my hairstyle up to her judgement), but I've also had good cuts by Kathy and Dawn as well. After my last cut, two friends went and had their hair cut there too. (Five people from my office now go.) It's great, and the cost isn't astronomical either. Not dirt cheap, but well worth it!

Pros: fabulous stylists, fun atmosphere, affordable

Posted 04/25/06

Went to Timothy John's for the first time and was pleasantly surprised and very pleased with the experience. The salon offers a very nice, relaxing atmosphere. I have been going to Amy for years at other salons and followed her here. She is great!!! I look forward to going back in the future.

Pros: Relaxing, Affordable, Professional

Posted 04/25/06

I have been going to Timothy John's Salon for several years and they continue to rock my hair. I have a crazy schedule, and call last minute for my haircuts. Because of this, I have seen every stylist in the salon, and they are all amazing. Timothy,Efthemia, Amy and Kathy have all cut my hair, and I have to say that i cant pick a favorite. The best part about it, is that nobody makes me feel like i am a cheater if I go to one of the other stylists. Each has thier own style and flair, but they continue to make me look up to date, trendy, or funky/wild(when I want it), and I always leave feeling like my hair has been rocked out. Dont worry who you make your appointment with. They are all awesome.

Pros: Affordable Prices, Experienced Staff, Awesome Atmosphere

Posted 04/16/06

I love this place! I came in with a very specific color in mind and after speaking with my stylist Efthemia and Timothy, I got a full head of highlights and a cut. Efthemia's experience and skill was so apparent. If you are looking for a top quality New York salon without the New York prices, this is it! And to top it off the staff is warm and friendly, I can't say enough about Timothyjohn's. I will never go anywhere else.

Pros: Inexpensive, Expertise

Posted 04/16/06

I started going to Timothy John's a few months ago. David & John make you feel welcome the second you step foot in the salon, Timothy always says hello. I get layers, highlights, and the occasional updo for special occassions. The stylist I see there is Efthemia (hope I spelled that right!) she was so professional and talented. She got my hair into the best shape it's ever been in. I don't have split ends, and I use a flat iron everyday, she always recommends the best products to care for my color and hair type. She even colors my hair in a unique way so that I don't have to get it done as often as I used to, which is friendly on my wallet, nice technique!! I highly recommend Efthemia. I am a customer for life. Thanks, you guys rock!

Pros: Professional, Friendly, Fashion Forward

Posted 04/15/06

I have been seeing Timothy for about 2 years. He always gives me a great cut and color to compliment my face. I always receive positive feedback from my friends and family after I visit Timothy. I completely trust Timothy's judgement and usually let him do whatever he thinks is best. The atomosphere is very laid back, friendly and unintimidating. If you are new to the city and are looking for a stylist or want I change, try Timothy at Timothy John's Salon!

Posted 04/13/06

A neighborhood salon with results that exceed any of the high-end NY mega-salons. The entire staff is incredibly personable, warm, & funny. I have been going to the salon for over two years and have been with a few different stylists. I have always been completely satisfied with my cut and color. While I rely on Timothy's expertise, he is very collaborative and is never condescending or patronizing when I have a suggestion. I consider myself to have a more progressive hair style and I am always pleased with the results. If you want to treat yourself, look your best, and not break the bank, go to Timothy Johns.

Posted 04/03/06

Timothy has been cutting and coloring my hair for over 5 years. When I first went to Timothy my hair was in such bad shape (from a competitive salon in NYC!) that it had to be cut short. Since then I have had the most wonderfully healthy hair and now get single process color AND highlights! People even think the color is natural!! I now live in NJ and have a 2 year old daughter. The only maintenance I have for myself is going to the salon! I won't let anyone else color my hair! Of course the people at the salon have become my friends as well. My daughters first hair cut was by Timothy as well. I would never trust anyone else to touch her hair!

Posted 04/03/06

I can't say enough good about Timothy John and the rest of the team at Timothy John's Salon! I always feel like part of the family when I go in, and I always feel great about my hair when I walk out. As far as I'm concerned, there's no other salon in NYC!

Pros: fun & friendly staff, up on current trends, excellent colorists

Posted 04/03/06

I have been going to Timothy for almost 7 years, before he had his own salon. He is fantastic. He always delivers what I want and yet is still adventurous with styling. Recently, he let me know that the texture of my hair had changed and he was very concerned. I investigated this and long story short, my liver was't functioning properly. I got a lot more than I bargained for with my latest haircut and I am exceptionally grateful for his care and attention. I highly recommend the salon!!

Posted 04/03/06

Don't go to Epthemia. I was growing out a haircut with a ton of layers in the back. I told her several times that I wanted her to bring the cut up, cut off the layers until my hair was eventually even in the back. She said yeah I know what you want and gave me the same EXACT haircut I just spent 2 mos. growing out! Then had the nerve to say to me "I asked you if you wanted layers" SHE NEVER ASKED THAT. I was close to tears & David sat there practically laughing and said he would call me in a few days to see how I felt. I never got a phone call. She said I could come back to have it fixed "JUST DON'T WAIT 2 WEEKS!" Major lack of customer service and Epthemia's immaturity and lack of experience SO apparent.

Posted 04/03/06

These guys are hip, laid back and very convenient to the working actor! They have a lot of customers on Broadway and tv. They really know what they are doing...my highlights have never looked soooo natural, and they last an extra month or so, no joke!!

Now that I have moved to Alabama, I am hesitant to get highlights. I will probably have to wait until I take a vacation to NY to get them again!!

I will miss all of my new friends at Timothy John's! Do yourself a favor and make an appointment!!

Posted 04/03/06

I am a pretty high maintenance hair person. I always want to try something new each time I need a cut or color. The staff is always friendly and accomodating and the atmosphere is actually FUN! You feel very at home when you walk into Timothy John's. Timothy himself is a total gem. I would never go any where else. The cost is much less than one of the big name salons who don't treat you nicely and most of the time do a sub-par job anyway b/c they are so rushed to get you out the door.
Timothy and his staff take time to consult and work with you to make your hair exactly what you want. I love it!! I've been going for 3 years and now abot 5 of my friends see them as well.

Posted 03/13/06

On my last visit to Timothy John's, I was very honored to have Timothy cut, color, and style my hair. His staff is super friendly and immediately made me feel comfortable. As soon as I sat in Timothy's chair, he helped me decide what cut and color would best suit not only my face, but my care-free personality. I love that Timothy took the time to help me find the best solution to make me as beautiful as possible. He truly cared about me; I wasn't just another cut and color. One more bonus, I LOVED THE RESULTS!!! I left feeling confident and beautiful. When I started work the next Monday, I was showered with compliments. Everyone had to know where I got my hair done. I felt awesome! Thanks Timothy for giving me such a wonderful experience. I can't wait for my next appointment!

Pros: Expert Staff, Great Price, Nice Atmosphere

Cons: none!

Posted 03/10/06

Top talent in cuts and color.

Friendly happy atmosphere.

Always prompt. Excellent price value.

Pros: Talent, Friendly, Prompt

Posted 03/05/06

I'm a low-maintenance guy who needs a good cut every 2-3 months, and this place fills the bill. It's a friendly place with attentive, responsive staff, and I get in and out on schedule every time. Could not recommend them more.

Posted 03/02/06

I have been going to this salon for 4+ years and I have always been soooo happy with the color and cut. The staff is friendly and very professional but not pretentious or snooty at all.

Posted 02/15/06

Aside from the absolute best cut of my life, this salon is adorable and has a lovely atmosphere. I will definitely be back and sending all my friends to Timothy John's!

Pros: Reasonable Prices, Flexible Appointments

Posted 02/11/06

The atmosphere is great. The staff is very attentive to your hair needs and will work with you on what cut works for you.

Posted 02/10/06

I get highlights and cuts from the salon and I leave with beautiful hair every time! Timothy is a color wizard!!!! But I must admit, the other stylists are quite good also. it's a very friendly atmosphere...great music also

Posted 02/10/06

The stylists at Timothy John Salon are highly skilled professionals who give me the personal and professional attention to make me look and feel my best about my hair and appearance without the outrageous prices of some other more fancy, bigger-profile salons. They're a family of stylists who work cohesively in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere where their clients are individually attended to. High attention to detail and an overall pleasant and professional experience at an affordable price! Highly recommended!

Posted 02/09/06

Whenever we travel to New York City, we always go to Timothy Johns Salon for a haircut, hair style or touch up. My Daughters live there and go to him exclusively as well.

Posted 02/08/06

The stylists at Timothy John's Salon are well rounded and extremely professional and know what they are doing. Each has a long lasting background in the "hair" world. I have no complaints and have always LOVED my hair and the job that they have done everytime I walk out.

Posted 02/08/06

I love this salon. It's warm, friendly and I always leave there happy with fabulous hair!

Posted 02/07/06

I never thought that when I walked into Timothy John's, I would not only walk away with a great cut and (dont tell my friends) color, but feel like I left with a new group of frineds. Everyone in the salon was very friendly. My stylist was great and had lots of ideas for my style and color. The price was far less than I expected it to be when I was checking out. I highly recommend Timothy Johns.

Pros: Unpretentious, Very Comfortable, Highly Skilled
