5 Stars: Fantastic Color Correction (by LizJLynch)

LizJLynch — Mon, 14 Dec 2009 01:00:00 GMT

Russ worked wonders with my color!! Went in jet black and came out chocolate brown with no damage. Couldn't be happier :) I highly recommend this salon, especially if for color correction.

5 Stars: Cristale is amaaaazing! (by DaniNYCity)

DaniNYCity — Sat, 12 Dec 2009 01:00:00 GMT

Roy Teeluck is a really beautiful, light-filled salon - I feel so relaxed the moment I step in. Cristale is an amazing hair stylist!! She takes great pride in her work and seems to genuinely care about all her clients...she is attentive, easygoing, and so talented, she discusses options with me and always gives ultimately the best thing! My hair is very long and she seems to be able to uplift it with body luscious curls from her technique...I have had my hair cut and styled by Cristale a few times now and i have also noticed how much attention she pays to details! She is willing to keep my hair healthy and always recommends great products and secrets that are helping to do that job! ha, I am so lucky to have found this place and I truly appreciate Cristale and the look of my hair when I walk out the door! It is a pleasurable way to get my hair done and I always leave the salon feeling amazed with my results. Thank you Cristale!! I look forward to coming back!

1 Stars: Elite Attitute = Awful Haircut (by operaqt)

operaqt — Fri, 04 Dec 2009 01:00:00 GMT

I went for a haircut, complete with pictures and consultation because I had a gift certificate. But the stylist refused to listen to me. She asked if I wanted bangs, I said no. She tried to put them over my face and I again said no. She said "trust me" and cut me bangs before I had a chance to respond again. She also cut them too long, so I couldn't see about two days later, they were in my eyes. When she turned me around, I was horrified how short the back was. I asked her to blend it into the front a little more and she told me "but then it won't look like the picture" and actually refused to modify what was on my head because "you wanted the picture, you'll regret me changing it tomorrow". I gave them the gift certificate because I would never go back or recommend it to anyone, and walked out.

5 Stars: Natural Looking Highlights and Layered Hair (by jojo05)

jojo05 — Wed, 02 Dec 2009 01:00:00 GMT

I had my hair highlighted by Russ over the summer and have never had so many compliments on how natural looking and flattering the color is. Laurianne cut my hair, framing my face, feathering my bangs, and finally getting it to "lay right." They really cared about the finished product too. Russ took extra time to get it just right- over an hour and a half!- and found me after my cut to make sure the finished product was up to par. Laurianne was very sweet and her work was impeccable, you can tell she is an artist. I would go back in a heartbeat if it weren't for the distance.

5 Stars: Best Haircut and Color (by Deborah Karamanol)

Deborah Karamanol — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 01:00:00 GMT

From the minute you walk into the salon you are treated like family, regardless of what service you're there for. The first time I went to the salon, Tim made me feel like I was the only client he had. When I walked out, not only did I just love Tim but I had the best haircut I ever had. Everyone in the salon is professional, friendly and with the kind of eye for detail that I have never experienced. The best part, is the way my hair grew out was equally as great. Try Roy Teeluck once and you will be hooked for life!!!! Everyone is talented.

mhanlon10 — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 01:00:00 GMT

I have been following NYC hairdresser Tim Johnson since I was twenty two. Now based at the Roy Teeluck Salon, Tim is a leading stylist with a unique eye and style.

You will leave looking your best, and feeling your best as well; Tim is the whole package, a fantastic person and enormously talented stylist.

5 Stars: Best Highlights in NYC (by gmbernard)

gmbernard — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 01:00:00 GMT

I have gone to several hair salons since moving to NYC several years ago and this is by far the best. I see Sandra for my baliage highlights and she does an amazing job, I get compliments all the time! Overall I always have a great experience and the prices are reasonable. The hours are good and I've never had a problem getting an appointment on short notice. I have recommended this salon to all my friends and they have all had similarly wonderful experiences.

5 Stars: Tim Rules! (by KG923)

KG923 — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 01:00:00 GMT

Tim is amazing. he's been cutting an coloring my hair for about 2 years. Everyone at the salon is friendly - imagine that -- on 57th and Madison. I assumed it would be another snobby midtown salon but it is the opposite. Roy is friendly when he is there and the people are just genuinely nice!

5 Stars: An amazing find in the heart of Manhattan (by TSBinNYC)

TSBinNYC — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 01:00:00 GMT

I am very often being complimented on my hair colour and cut, and having moved to Manhattan from London 8 months ago I was nervous about finding the right salon to cope with my mane - this was such a great find. Everyone at Roy Teeluk is so friendly, and it is always a treat to spend several hours having colour, or cut (or both) and a glamorous blow dry to finish. Not nearly as pricey as I feared given the location, and it is Abby who does the magic colour for me, and Dora who does the cut.

5 Stars: Tim is awesome (by Anna Barczewska)

Anna Barczewska — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 01:00:00 GMT

Thank You Tim-it was the best haircut I had in 20 years!

3 Stars: You need the right stylist.. (by turtlepro)

turtlepro — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 01:00:00 GMT

I've gone here a few times already and when I compare to other places, I still don't think it's a salon experience that I find to be any better than other places. The coloring job is just OK. I feel like I could do the same thing at home. Haircut came out great but the second time, I had a different stylist and she was pretty awful. I'd say that a good hair job depends on what stylist you get because so far the experience here has varied.

5 Stars: Best salon experience of my life.. (by Marissa B)

Marissa B — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 01:00:00 GMT

I rate myself as a very picky, hard-to-please client. I have been to MANY salons from the West to East coast and this salon surpassed all my expectations and experiences. From the moment I entered, I was greeted with smiles and very friendly staff, which is a HUGE part of the whole salon experience. In the past at other salons, if I didn't feel welcomed, I didn't return. This salon is staffed with the best of the best, and yet maintain their down-to-earth warm vibe. Even Roy himself commented on how great my hair looked and he was so sweet! I had my hair cut by Laurianne, and she is the sweetest and most friendly girl! The moment I first spoke to her, I could tell that I would leave this experience in her hands, I trusted her that much. I never before felt like I didn't need to talk a stylist through what I wanted in my cut- she blew me away with her knowledge...a real professional. After she was done, not only did I get a perfect, beautiful cut, but she styled it with such precision, that it was the best looking hair I had ever had! Thank you to the salon for a wonderful experience, well worth the price. I will be back!

5 Stars: THE BEST HAIRCUT AND COLOR OF MY LIFE> (by mira21)

mira21 — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 01:00:00 GMT

Ok first off can I just mention i am probably the cheapest person you will ever meet. I do not like to overspend my money where it is not needed. I also happen to live in Connecticut. I wanted to treat my mother to an amazing haircut and color. She has never been able to have exactly what she has wanted before so I did some research and decided to take her to the city. I took a chance and although hesitant I really wanted my mother to love her hair. It was hideous before we went to the salon to say the least. After my mothers constant bickering about going all the way to New York we finally arrived to the salon. I was initially impressed and saw that it was very comfortable and high class setting. I was greeted by Michelle and Antoine the sweetest French man ever!!! As I said earlier my mothers hair was hideous and this horrible brownish color. She had always been a blond and ruined her color by some hairstylist in CT. After Michelle broke the news that my mother could not get her blond color by this visit only my mother was upset, however I had trust in her. She told my mother she would add some blond highlights. She did this and after came the cut. IT WAS THE MOST AMAZING CUT EVER! I COULD NOT BELIEVE MY EYES! ANTOINE WAS LITERALLY A GENIUS! My mother was in tears the highlights were amazing, the cut was truly unbelievable and this was by far the best experience ever.

P.S. free manicure and the best one I ever received. Edith took her time and did a fabulous job!

THERE IS NO COMPARISON TO THIS PLACE

Christine Youg — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 01:00:00 GMT

Love Michelle for color too - best blondes!

5 Stars: Amazing Color and Cut!!! (by Viviana C)

Viviana C — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 01:00:00 GMT

My hair is very difficult to color because it turns red very easily. I was looking for natural looking highlights, as if lightened by the sun, to brighten my face but not noticebly processed. Russ was the greatest! He took his time to listen and talked out the process with me until we came to a full understanding and agreement of what would be done. The results are fabulous!!! I got it done 3 weeks ago and I am still enjoying immensely. The color came out exactly the way I wanted it. And no turning red like in most other salons. Russ is really an expert and a true professional. Really sweet too!!
After the color was done, Enzo gave me a gorgeous "dry cut". He blow dries the hair pin straight and then contours the hair to your face and body. It is truly amazing! My hair just lays so beautifully and frames my face and accentuates my whole look. It is truly me!!!
Thank you Roy Teeluck!!! I love you! Truly Happy Customer!

4 Stars: Great Salon (by Mari1)

Mari1 — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 02:00:00 GMT

I have been searching for a hair dresser for years that knew how to give my curls a nice cut so that they always have a great shape even without doing much to it like blow drying it or spending hours on styling it in the morning.
I found Roy Teeluck Salon through a friend and fell in love with the place right away.
The staff is very professional, young and friendly.
They offer you a nice glass of wine or cup of coffee upon arrival. Then you meet with a hair stylist who will spend time with you and always have a great idea and are experienced and knowleadgable in giving you suggestions on what your preference is for a cut or style.
The washers are great and friendly always and give you a nice massage while washing your hair.
Then you're off to the cut - and in just only few snippets of hair you're done with an amazing cut and style.
The stylists that I've met so far at the Salon are Dora and Ali and they're both amazing.
Very happy with the Salon and would highly recommend it to all.

1 Stars: Can't recommend them (by GlamourFix)

GlamourFix — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 02:00:00 GMT

Arrogant, don't listen to the client. In the middle of applying extensions, I was told to step aside so that another client could be styled, thus my service took an extra hour & half. Apparently my $2000+ wasn't enough to be a valuable client. Awful final hairstyle/extensions too!

5 Stars: You Should Go Here (by mau1)

mau1 — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 02:00:00 GMT

I have a situation with my hair...it's not easy to cut and have it look good every day without junk in it. And I won't use the junk. I was a little apprehensive because the address is high-fashion row and my high-fashion days are well behind me. But when I got there, everyone was very nice (without being phony). They are professional without being stuffy. The salon is a comfortable space with every kind of client you can imagine. My stylist was great and spent the time finding out about my lifestyle, considered my face shape, etc. I've been back since that 1st time and will go back again and again.

5 Stars: My Amazing New Hair By Andre Davis (by NYCHICK)

NYCHICK — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 02:00:00 GMT

I have been visiting Andre for extensions for years now.
Having lived in Miami and Los Angeles, he is without a doubt the best in the hair extension business.
My hair is full, natural, very easy to take care of, and simply beautiful.
Andre is very good at keeping up to date on all new extension techniques as well as cutting.

5 Stars: Best Haircut AND Manicure Ever!! (by Char99)

Char99 — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 02:00:00 GMT

I got the best haircut EVER by Laurianne! She walks on water in my books after she was able to fix the10th crap cut I got in Ottawa a couple weeks prior to seeing her. It's so great that I won't cut my hair again till I return to see her. She has a confident cutting style which I've never seen before and really knew what needed to be done, like a true pro.
Manicure: I got a free manicure done by Edith. This lady rocks as well and is great fun. She gave me the best manicure I've ever had (no kidding) and I can't stop staring at my nails!! It makes me look pompous but I cant help it.
Keep up the great work Ladies and keep well. Cheers! Char.

5 Stars: Excellent service! Russ is the BEST. (by ffd)

ffd — Sat, 24 Oct 2009 02:00:00 GMT

I have now been to RT Salon 3 times. I definitely remember getting a free manicure the first time as well as some free products (which I liked so much I bought myself when I ran out). Russ does my highlights and he is right-on every time. Yesterday I asked for something a little warmer for autumn and he nailed it! He knows I can only afford to come every 6 months for color and applies it accordingly.

I've met Roy, too, as he used me for a free haircut demo 7 months ago. I've vowed never to cut my hair again as it is only getting better as time passes...

Thanks Russ and Roy!

5 Stars: Sandra .. gave me the most amazing blond hair (by Violetta)

Violetta — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 02:00:00 GMT

I have been meaning to write this review forever! When i came to Sandra my hair was a mess. I went to Mizu to go blond and they really messed up my hair. Sandra fixed it in early June and i have been going to her ever since. First, she is amazingly experienced and is careful. As in.. i went from dark dark brown to blond and she manages to keep my hair in great shape. Second, she always makes sure that i look natural. No one can tell that i am not a natural blond.. they are always surprised when i say i have dark brown hair. She is great.. and I really owe her everything when it comes to my fab blond. I love it! and i am def sticking with it.

Hair Cut: Laurianne ... she gave me a sexy cut that I can manage. She also styled my hair for a wedding which was simple, classy and made me feel amazing. She def has some skills! I got a cut with some other people from Roy, and they were great.. but she just got it!

3 Stars: Ali is fabulous, salon... not so much (by leigh_liz1)

leigh_liz1 — Sun, 18 Oct 2009 02:00:00 GMT

I had a cut with Ali two days ago and am still deciding how I feel about my hair. The length is great, but I feel like the style is a little staid and just not as edgy as I'd hoped for. It's truly not his fault; at the time I said I loved it (because what am I supposed to say if I'm simply ambivalent about it?). He is wonderful, a great listener, very sweet and very good at what he does. I have no doubt that if I'd said that I wanted something a little funkier, a little funkier is what I would have gotten. Now for logistics: I was never offered something to drink, didn't get my complimentary manicure or 20% off. The woman at the reception desk said I'd get 20% off on my second visit- no big deal, but it wasn't what I'd expected. The salon itself is in a posh neighborhood, but could definitely use a facelift. It has a weird layout with the color stations and washbasins in the back and funnels toward cutting and styling in the front. All in all, I'm not exactly effusive about the experience, but Ali was so great that I'm sure I'll be back.

5 Stars: Great Service (by bettychan)

bettychan — Sat, 10 Oct 2009 02:00:00 GMT

I went looking for a permanent place for haircut. First of all, take the citysearch discount and free manicure! Great deal. What can be better have Tim cuts my hair, Edith does my nails over a glass of Chianti with Sigourney Weaver coloring her roots in the backroom. It is a diva treatment. Tim really takes the time to access what you need and gives a cut that you can manage. He even offer complimanary bang trims inbetween haircut. I like him because he does not push other service or product on you. He is just a gentle soul who is passionate about hair. I usually will wait for a week before determining whether I wouldn't go back...because by then I can truly see if the haircut is manageable. It is definitely costly but you do get what you pay for with service that good.

5 Stars: BEST hair extensions ever!!!! (by skeptic31)

skeptic31 — Sat, 03 Oct 2009 02:00:00 GMT

For someone who has gone to sooooo many places to get hair extensions, I just want to say that Andre Davis at Roy Teeluck salon has magic hands - he matched my extensions to my hair to the T, styled it and gave me tips on how to care for them. NO ONE can tell I am even wearing extensions and I can wear my hair in a pony tail without the extensions showing. IF you want great extensions, undivided attention and more importantly a stylists that actually listens to you - call Andre Davis!

5 Stars: If you want superb color- schedule Abby!!!! (by Lori D)

Lori D — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 02:00:00 GMT

I found the Roy Teeluck salon through a search and couldn't be happier. I needed a color and cut and was introduced to Abby and Ali.

Abby is a true professional who knows what is best for your hair color and type. She has learned from the best and it shows through her work. Before we got started, Abby educated me on what was the best route to go with for color on my hair. She introduced me to a process called Balayage. I had never heard of it before so she explained everything about it. She was right! My hair color has never looked so good. Abby did a fantastic job and I cannot wait to go back and see her again! She's not only a professional colorist, but a sincere, caring person who truly wants you to leave 150% satisfied!

Ali was next! I have thin hair that I am determined to grow out. He explained what would be the best cut for my hair type. He cut it in such a way that created both movement and thickness to my hair. I could keep it long thanks to Ali! I can't wait to have him cut it again!!

Everyone at the salon is fantastic- Keith, Abby, Ali, Andrea, Daniel, Edith, Catherine, Roy, Roland, etc.! I highly recommend giving the salon a try. You will not be disappointed! They are a family run salon that truly takes pride in their work and business!

5 Stars: The Power and Ease of a GREAT haircut (by laura foukal)

laura foukal — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 02:00:00 GMT

Wow! I got my hair cut by the fabulous Laurianne at Roy Teeluck salon a couple of weeks ago. I have long hair and wanted to keep it that way, so was comforted when I met Laurianne and saw she had beautiful long hair also. I had been frustrated because my long hair had no movement or face-framing style, so I described to Laurianne what I envisioned as my perfect haircut.

Well, not only is Laurianne sweet and beautiful, but she proceeded to give me one of the best haircuts I've ever had. It's so good, in fact, that I've used no appliances--no blow dryers, no flattening or curling irons--and no product beyond shampoo and conditioner and, if I do say so myself, I look fantastic.

I'm sure I'll be able to get a more polished look if and when I decide to work on my hair at all, but it has not been necessary. My style is more casual, I admit, but the precision and flair of Laurianne's cut has my hair--colicks and all-- falling, framing, and bouncing quite naturally to provide ease and style I never dreamed possible. THANK YOU LAURIANNE. Now, I hope I don't have trouble getting an appointment from now on.... :)

P.S. Everyone else at the salon was wonderful too. AND I got to see Carrie Fisher there (sans her double-donut 'do :))

5 Stars: Great styling (by Zoyag321)

Zoyag321 — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 02:00:00 GMT

Overall, a great experience from the moment I walked in to the time I left. Good value and excellent styling. I am very happy with my new look. Thank you.

5 Stars: Good atmosphere, great service, outstanding Ali! (by NLB)

NLB — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 02:00:00 GMT

I am not from NY, but decided to get my haircut while in the city. I wanted someone who could look at my face shape and hair texture and give me the perfect style. Ali at the Roy Teeluck salon in mid-town over delivered on my expectations.

Ali was very friendly and open to listening about the challenges I have with my long face and fine, wavy hair. H recommended a shoulder length style with a few layers that was absolutely perfect. He told me what he was doing throughout the process and made me feel comfortable with everything.

Not only was the cut perfect, but the styling really made it spectacular! I've had the cut for two days and am starting to get the hang of doing it myself, but Ali is clearly magical with a round brush and blow-dryer! My hair actually listened to him!

I can't wait for my next trip to NY to see Ali and all of the other wonderful people at Roy Teeluck.

Recommended for ANYONE!

5 Stars: Nice Salon, Tim is Excellent (by daisy11969)

daisy11969 — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 02:00:00 GMT

The salon is very nice and everyone is super friendly. They don't push products on you like other high end salons--which is very annoying. That said, the only reason I go to this salon is because of Tim. If he cut hair in a dark alleyway I'd go there. I've been going to him for at least 10 years and he has never given me a cut that I have not been totally in love with. He doesn't over cut or undercut -- meaning I don't feel scalped and yet I feel like the cut has put shape back into my hair and it will last a long time. He's super nice and easy to talk to as well. Great, great hair stylist.

5 Stars: Great Place/Exceptional Service (by vjmi)

vjmi — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 02:00:00 GMT

Tim at Roy Teeluck is exceptional, he is great and very understanding. You can talk to Tim before the haircut to discuss your preferences, Tim will suggest what will work best for you. He is very detail oriented and creative. I used to have a very short hair cut and when decided to grow hair, I kept changing hair dressers until I met Tim. After Tim's work, your hair will stay in style, will be very easy to style and work with on the daily basis. Very -very satisfied with Tim's work !!
Thanks Tim !!!

I just moved in NY and a friend of mine recommended i should go see Abby for Balayage ,she is very intuitive of what you want ,but also she took her time to explain the process of the result will be better as you do less in highlites Her motto is you need some depth of a natural color to see the highlites .She painted my hair in a direction of how i wear it in daily basis and it looks amazing i love it .Im very happy and i will deffinately go back ,also the glass of wine is a great plus while you getting your hair done :)

5 Stars: Great salon, go to Laurianne! (by hollyelyse)

hollyelyse — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 02:00:00 GMT

I had my appointment with Laurianne last week, and I wasn't sure what I wanted or needed. My last haircut at another salon was done badly and my hair has grown out poorly because of it (never going back there!) but I am really thankful to have come here - Laurianne knew what to do to clean it up and give my hair a nice, fresh start. Laurianne takes her time cutting your hair with precision and makes sure she listens to what you want. She knows what is best for your individual hair type and how to help achieve your hairstyle goal. Mine is to grow my hair out longer again, nice and strong which is why she gave me a great basic cut that looks healthy and shiny. I did not want to lose my length so she took off just enough to get rid of the dead ends and damage. As for my bangs, she knew exactly which length and style would be the most flattering for my face shape. I got tons of compliments on my bangs all day the moment I left the salon. My hair is naturally very frizzy and curly, and Laurianne was able to give me a super sleek and smooth blow-out. My hair felt amazing to touch when she was done styling. Laurianne is a talented and knowledgeable stylist who will take her time giving you the best possible cut. The salon is beautiful inside and all the employees are very polite and professional. I'm excited to go back in just a few weeks to have my bangs trimmed and make a follow up appointment - with Laurianne of course! She is a sweetheart and truly the best. Call and ask for her, you will not be disappointed!!!

Just went for the first time to have my hair cut with Laurianne and am so happy with her work. She immediately came up with a fun, light look that suited my hair and no blow-dry routine. Edith's manicure was an extra treat! Will definitely be going back.

5 Stars: wonderful experience- ali rocks (by bunny007)

bunny007 — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 02:00:00 GMT

staff are friendly. Atmosphere is not intimidating to someone like me who can usually feel a tad out of place in a upscale salon. and Ali was the one I saw and he was a wonderful listener, specially when it came to length. made good suggestions for my face shape, hair texture (wavy and thick). he gave me the best long layered cut I have had. what has really impressed me is how well it grows out between cuts. also i just wash, air dry, put my hair up in a bun which I let loose after a few hours and get lovely waves.
As mentioned in this economy its getting harder to justify an expensive cut no matter how great it is so keeping space between cuts is important. I have to say though the price is reasonable when you take into account the great cut, service and the fact that we are talking about midtown manhattan.

5 Stars: Wonderful Color and Cut! (by KarenNYC)

KarenNYC — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 02:00:00 GMT

I had a WONDERFUL first experience at this salon. Sandra did a great job on the color and took extra time at the end because even though I thought it looked fine she wasn't quite satisfied - and she was right, she added a little more color that really put that extra spark in it! And Ali gave me a great haircut despite the challenge of working with a really short, really bad previous cut I had gotten someplace else.
It is so refreshing to look in the mirror now and smile instead of cringe!
All of the staff was very friendly and welcoming as well.

5 Stars: Great Highlights. (by kiesha0309)

kiesha0309 — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 02:00:00 GMT

Went for highlights with Sandra, she is very nice and easy going and did a great job - exactly what I wanted. Enzo finished me off with an amazing blowout - I also have to add that they are very big on making sure their costumers are happy Best customer service I have ever experienced. I did not find prices to be too bad either. I have already recommended friends to this salon and will definitely be back for my haircut in a month.

5 Stars: Ask for Cristale Dufay! (by DaniellaLondon)

DaniellaLondon — Sun, 23 Aug 2009 02:00:00 GMT

I was recommended Roy Teeluck Salon by a friend of mine who is a great hair stylist in LA. Most salons located in midtown manhattan are too busy to give you their time of day, no matter how much $$$$$ you are paying. However, the staff here was so delightful and a pleasure to be in company with which made everything, combined with the great results, a lovely experience. Cristale Dufay is what I would call a real hair stylist...she took the time to really work with me on the vision i had and treated my hair really well. Three days has past since my cut and style with her and my hair still has volume and feels good. She knew exactly what products where right for my hair and I recommend her to anyone who wants...so thanks Cristale and if any of you read this, you won't be disappointed if you go to Roy Teeluck as a client of Cristale's.

5 Stars: Salon Heaven (by BIGAPPLE)

BIGAPPLE — Sat, 22 Aug 2009 02:00:00 GMT

I just had my first experience at Roy Teeluck Salon. I booked a manicure and haircut. It was better than I was anticipating, even after reading great reviews. I was greeted so kindly by the front desk and immediately shown where the restrooms were and where my shampooing would take place and where I would be getting my haircut. I was offered a drink (water, coffee, tea, etc.) and taken to a chair where Edith did my nails - perfectly. I explained to her the shape/length/color I was looking for and she did it perfectly - and even picked a color I hadn't tried before but fit the natural look I was going for. She was personable and thorough and very clean with her work. I then had my haircut with Ali who was sweet and honest with what would look best with my face shape. I was offered more things to drink, too. Just so pleasant and thoughtful. My hair came out great - I was so pleased. AND, the biggest test of all: I met my bf down the street after my appointment and I was greeted with, "Wow - looks amazing! Hotness!" - and he's as honest as they come. I already booked my next visit with Ali and am so excited to have found such quality service and care.
Oh, and as if this all wasn't enough - my manicure was complimentary. First time clients get a complimentary manicure! So great!
Can't wait to go out tonight with the new haircut! It feels healthy and great!
Try it out :)! You will be very happy you did...

I have been visiting the Roy Teeluck Salon several times and would not let anyone else cut my hair anymore! My stylist is Tim, he is incredible - every time I go there I get a new style, fresh, modern, amazing! I hesitated the first time before making an appointment, because it is quite expensive, especially because I am a student - but it is so worth it! If you go there, you won't regret it, 100%!

Today I had my best hair salon experience. This is my first time at Roy Teeluck and certainly wont be the last. i strongly reccoment it for those who are looking for a good natural, and modern styling. My new look is exactly what I was looking for. The fabulous French stylist Laurianne, knew exactly what I was looking for and executed it with ease and confidence. I loved the friendly personel. Everyone was so nice and welcoming. My hair now feels soft, healthy and looks gorgeous!!

I love my haircut - it's exactly what i was hoping for. Laurianne knew exactly what my hair needed - a nice conditioning treatment and a playful cut that will be easy to manage. She did a fabulous blowout that looked natural and she didn't even have to put any product in (which i loved because i rarely use product myself). I walked out feeling very pretty :)
Merci Laurianne, c'etait vraiment super!

I loved my overall experience at Roy Teeluck but mainly I was blown away by the expertise Abby bestowed upon me. She is a true artist...

Not only can you not tell I had any hair coloring process, it is so beautiful...She is the first hair colorist who actually "understood" what I have been trying to achieve all these years...

Thank you Abby..

5 Stars: Something special... (by FrenchInManhattan)

FrenchInManhattan — Mon, 10 Aug 2009 02:00:00 GMT

I'm a man and I went to get my hair colored for the first time. I was a little nervous but Sandra did an excellent job at blending my gray. She gave me a natural look and my wife thought it was done in very good taste.

Laurianne cut my hair. I pretty much gave her carte-blanche. She was warm and attentive. She has a very solid sense of style and by the time she was done I felt great.

The entire staff was exceedingly friendly and not pretentious. This was a very positive experience for me.

I'd recommend this salon to my friends.

LondonGirl — Sat, 08 Aug 2009 02:00:00 GMT

I felt I had struck gold when I found Antoine! After having experienced many, many bad haircuts throughout my life, this lovely Frenchman is very technically advanced, a hairstyle perfectionist, listen to what you want and/or suggest what hairstyle that would suit you, very good at coloring/highlights, and is also a very nice and charming man.

It was a sad day the day he left London for NYC but I wanted to share my experience with everyone as you are now lucky to have him. You will not be disappointed!

Russ got it!! Russ made me feel like he really cares. He listens to what I wanted and instructed me how we are going to get there:) My hair looks a million dollars!:) Also had a fabulous maincure..

4 Stars: Great hair from a great place. (by ESartist)

ESartist — Wed, 15 Jul 2009 02:00:00 GMT

I have to say that I've been to many salons and hairdressers in New York, and none of them have given me the service and professional hair-care quite like Roy Teeluck. The staff is friendly and fun, the place is cozy and luxurious, and (of course) Teeluck's uses top of the line hair care.
I went in to get highlights from Russ-who's fantastic-and ended up not completely satisfied with the results... so I called them up and asked if I could reschedule an appointment for the next day. They were happy to do so, and the next day Russ immediately went into up-ing my hair even further without any extra charge. Roy Teeluck's wants their costumers to be extra pleased.

p.s: Ask for Laurianne when you get a blow-out. She is new at Teeluck's, fun, and full of energy.

5 Stars: Love this place. (by dlsmith)

dlsmith — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 02:00:00 GMT

I've been to this salon a few times, and have never been disappointed. Abby & Russ brought me from light brown to blonde to dark brown with no problem. The colorists always come to check on you if/when you get your hair cut in order to make sure they got the color right - Russ even pulled me back to correct it when he saw that mine was too light. I'm moving out of state, and he even offered to have my new salon call him in order to get my color right. Abby is fantastic with the balayage - i have a lot of hair, and she spent all the time necessary to do it right.

Laurianne is (i think) a new stylist. Not only is she adorable, but she did a fantastic job with my cut. She listened to what I wanted, and did a great job offering to me what she thought i needed as well. That's a sign of a great stylist, if you ask me.

I am seriously considering coming back to visit NYC every 6 weeks just to come back here!

5 Stars: Amazing Color by Russ (by Blondie25)

Blondie25 — Mon, 13 Jul 2009 02:00:00 GMT

I usually do not bother reviewing anything online, but I am so happy with the results I really want to recommend Russ! He took the time to sit and discuss my color before proceeding, which I really liked, because it made me feel included in the whole process. While the color was setting he would check in every once in a while and make sure my hair was coming along ok. Even as I waited everyone was so friendly, and people who weren't helping me would ask if I needed a drink. In the end Russ achieved the exact shade of blond I was looking for and it still looked relatively healthy and shiny.

NathNYC — Sun, 12 Jul 2009 02:00:00 GMT

5 Stars: Incredible Attentive Stylist - Laurianne (by debbynycgirl)

debbynycgirl — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 02:00:00 GMT

When I called to make an appointment, I found that my stylist was on vacation. I needed to get my hair cut and they suggested Laurianne. I am sooooo pleased with her. I have very fine hair but lots of it - and no body.

Laurainne and I spoke first about what I wanted, she made some suggestions - showing me my profile and how she thought my hair should look from all angles !! The cut she gave me is beautiful. I have gotten many compliments. My hair falls naturally and looks great. She is a nice to speak with but when she is working, she is very absorbed in getting your cut right. I can not say enough about her - I would highly recommend her - go ahead - treat yourself - you won't regret it.

5 Stars: Great Balyage (by mfrost12)

mfrost12 — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 02:00:00 GMT

I have followed Russ the colorist for years now. When he finally convinced me to switch over to Balyage several months ago I was unconvinced, I've been foiling highlights for over ten years and always like that he could get the blonde right to the root finely and evenly.

However, since I got married and have a child now, I just can't be in the salon often, and the balyage really helps stretch out visits and doesn't have the razory edge growing out like foil does.

It's taken a couple of visits to get the softer effect but I'm very happy with the result. I thought at first there wasn't enough blonde but it only took another quick visit to put more in, thanks Russ for being so patient!

The staff is very nice, Yoanne does a GREAT blowout!

5 Stars: I'm done searching! (by lindsay05)

lindsay05 — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 02:00:00 GMT

A friend suggested I try Roy Teeluck. I went in there with a terrible dye job (really dark black, bluish hues, terrible against my fair skin) and I had about 3/4 inch of my shiny grey coming through the roots. I was not a happy camper. Abby was amazing -- very soothing, willing to explain what she thought would work to fix it (single process and a few highlights) and it ended up looking phenomenal. I am getting many compliments. They were able to fit me in for a styling (with Johans)- only $35 with the color job and it looked great. So, every penny I spent felt worth it to me and I will definitely be going back soon -- next time for cut and color! cheers

5 Stars: *Best Haircut and Style EVER!! (by Lovelybones68)

Lovelybones68 — Thu, 18 Jun 2009 02:00:00 GMT

I went for my appt. on 6/6/09 and as soon as I walked in I was quickly assisted. Everyone there was so friendly. As soon as I sat down, Abby walked over, introduced herself and sat down with me to discuss what I was interested in doing with my hair. I explained I wanted something different and needed a professional oppinion on what would look best on me. I already had some faded highlights and my brown roots were growing out. She recommended I go with my natural base color and add a few subtle highlights. Abby and her assistant, Danielle were great, explaining what they were doing the whole time!

My hair was then cut by Ali, and he's just too cute. I told him to do whatever he felt would look best on me and he said he wanted to cut my hair short. I already had a bob, so I was a little nervous since I have chubby cheeks. But Ali was able to make me feel very comfortable and explained everything he did, and how I could maintain it on my own. (which I needed since my hair is naturally curly)

For the past week and a half, I have been getting complimented everywhere I go. Everyone says the cut fits my face perfectly and I am truely in love with the whole look. It's Stylish and Sheek. Thank you Soo much Abby & Ali!!

I went in desperate to fix my hair ruined elsewhere. My hair is boring dark brown hair and wanted highlights. I left with ugly stripes. I was averse to going back to the same place to fix it and chose Roy Teeluck instead. Sandra gave me what I asked for, beautiful, rich, caramel highlights that blend in beautifully with my brown hair . I left very happy. Thank you for making my hair beautiful!

I was pleasantly surprised to have won a visit at this salon. It was more than expected. I was greeted with a smile, Offered beverages and introduced to my stylist within 3 minutes of walking in. Ali was a highly proficient stylist with an adorable personality. My eyebrows looked wonderful after meeting Duffy, and I had a great manicure. Prices are reasonable considering the East 57th Street location. I will definitely be returning.

5 Stars: Fantastic Cut by Ali and Amazing Head Massage (by courtney1228)

courtney1228 — Fri, 29 May 2009 02:00:00 GMT

Went in for a much needed cut today and met for the first time with Ali who gave me a really lovely consultation and listened to all of my likes/dislikes. I was then sent to get washed by Johans who went above and beyond the call of shampoo duty with an amazing 5-minute head massage that put me in a trance. aahhhhhh

Back to reality and in the salon chair, Ali was precise, used several scissors and has a great eye. I have extremely long hair and he worked his magic to make it look like while still giving it lots of volume and shape.

And the soundtrack in the salon is smooth and sexy....Gotan Project, Zero 7, etc. Excellent ambiance!

5 Stars: THANK YOU DORA- THE HAIR WHISPERER! (by rstir47)

rstir47 — Sat, 23 May 2009 02:00:00 GMT

I admit that my hair is not the easiest to cut. It is wavy, with medium texture and has a tendency to frizz. The fullness of my tresses can be deceiving, even for very experienced stylists; grab the wrong tool, cut at the wrong angle and my locks turn instantly into a Medusa-like halo. Of course I can spend 30 min. each day to style my new cool cut, but really...who wants that?? I prefer to wash and go...my hair can be an asset if cut the way IT likes it!!
I've had many top notch stylists cut my hair to only end up with a frizz ball. But not Dora. She was able to tame and bring forth my hair's natural beauty. Dora, your are a savior...Thank you!!

5 Stars: Hands-Down BEST Salon Experience! (by cmgriffin)

cmgriffin — Wed, 20 May 2009 02:00:00 GMT

My friend Julie recommended the Roy Teeluck Salon knowing how very picky I am when it comes to salons/stylists. So I figured it was worth a try.

Upon arrival, I was immediately impressed with the staff who were friendly and attentive.
(Addressing my first pet peeve--where most salons are neither).

My appointment was with Tim for a cut. With a warm greeting he first sat me down for a little chat about what I wanted. He really listened--and immediately grasped a sense of my style which (despite my picky salon issue) is pretty natural and low-maintenance.
A lot of time and care were taken throughout the cutting process. Besides being immensely sweet and fun to talk to, he'd steer me back occasionally to point out what he was doing--and get my feedback. The experience made me realize I was in the hands of a talented and complete professional. It's been so long since I've had a really great cut, I'd forgotten what a huge difference it makes! I love it and have received many compliments to boot!

As a first time client I was also treated to a complimentary manicure with the amazing Edith.
She too immediately gauged my style and gave me the most luxurious manicure with a color I wouldn't have chosen, but looked great...who knew?! Apparently Edith did!

Having such a good experience, I decided to take the plunge and have my eyebrows done--for the first time ever--with Duffy.
She too was a quick study with an expert hand. I'd always thought the benefits of brow-shaping were an exaggeration, but I have to say I'm a total convert. In the most subtle way your eye is opened up and you look like rested and rejuvenated. A miniature face-lift!

As you might guess I give the Roy Teeluck Salon rave reviews!
Great service, great people, excellent experience!!

5 Stars: Best female colorist at Roy Teeluck (by Avnit)

Avnit — Mon, 18 May 2009 02:00:00 GMT

After a bad experience with another colorist at Roy Teeluck my whole experience was changed by a wonderful person Sandra. She is understanding, practices patience, attentive.....everything one would hope for. Sandra took time to talk to me and understand what my ideas were and what was I looking for. Sandra suggested to give my hair color a new dimension but putting only a few highlights very subtle to meld with my base color. For the first time I did not ask for swatches of color and I was pleasantly surprised with my hair color. Sandra gave me beautiful warm brown highlights and a beautiful light brown for my base color. Sandra also did my moms hair and the color came out beautiful. My mother also loves her. She is so positive that everything turns out wonderful....the crew that works with her is so pleasant such as Danielle, Lexi, Keith. I am so happy that I found Sandra
I would recommend her to friends and family

MeredithSobel — Tue, 12 May 2009 02:00:00 GMT

Positively wonderful experience. I loved every minute of it! There are many ways to be blonde - but really there is only one way - the Roy Teeluck way. Run, don't walk today! I acutally attended a color class on Tuesday nights. There are also cut classes. Its a great way to see the inner workings of the salon and be supervised by Roy himself. He's tough on his staff - but in a way that will eventually make them superstars and it was great to observe a true master in action! For non-class color - see Russ or Michelle (did some of my strands - she's amazing!). Can't vouch for cuts - but Johan did a blowout. I'd go to the man himself for a cut if you could - I mean - this is a man who knows hair! and it does matter!!!!

I had my hair cut by Antoine for the first time, and not only do I now have a beautiful haircut, but I can tell it will grow out beautifully as well, which is a huge plus in my book. Also, he said I could come in anytime between cuts for a touch up at no charge, which is also a wonderful perk. I highly recommend this salon. It was a great experience.

Abby- all I have to say!!! I am so incredibly pleased with my balayage I have gone to several different hair salons, but with no luck finding an individual who would color the way I want, or even close for that matter. I was so impressed with the way Abby had dyed my sister's hair (the color is beautiful too) that I made the appointment two days later, past Saturday, Apr.24. It has been about a week now and everyday I wake up I look forward to the way I will be styling my hair that day. Abby and her team took her time to help me find the perfect color (I am extremely picky) and I cannot thank her ENOUGH for her fabulous sense of style, WHAT A TALENT!!! I found my permanent hair dresser, and I am so excited and relieved!Thank you Abby, keep up the amazing work!!!! The environment as well was very comfortable, and amazing front desk staff. Thanks again.

Had my hair cut by Ali once before and really liked it. Second time I came he just went at it with the razor and completely butchered my hair. Even he couldn't hide the slightly uncomfortable look on his face upon seeing his finished "masterpiece." For as much as you're paying for a haircut consistency should be key. Will never go here again.

I went a few months ago to see Gabriel after my sister had the haircut of a lifetime from him. Gabriel was great - easy to talk to, felt comfortable in the setting. He gave me a GREAT haircut that I loved at the time. I'm writing the review just now because, I'm sure you know, how a haircut grows out is just as important! Well two months later it still looks fabulous! The prices aren't the cheapest, but with hair you get what you pay for! On the other hand, I've paid a lot more for a lot worse. I'll definitely be going back. Only tip - don't put off making your appointment, they do get booked, but that should speak of their great quality!

Suj217 — Tue, 14 Apr 2009 02:00:00 GMT

My colorist was Sandra, and I went in to get highlights. My hair is naturally dark and I was always afraid to get any color done before. I always thought that with dark hair, non-tacky highlights are harder to obtain. I told Sandra I wanted natural and subtle, but still stylish - and that's exactly what I got. My hair isn't overdone, it matches my skin tone and my eyes, and it's absolutely brilliant for spring and summer. I'm ready for the beach and the sun! Thanks Sandra, I'll definitely be back.

The receptionist was very courteous, the coat check attendant very friendly, Johannes (hope I spelled your name right) was so sweet - he served us our drinks and gave me the best wash and hair massage I've ever had in a salon. Then comes Ali who is truly brilliant in what he does. I had no idea what I really wanted to do with my hair but because of the rave reviews about Ali, I put my trust in him and the result was amazing. He took his time and worked those scissors like magic. Definitely worth the 2 1/2 hour trip from PA! Ali, I would follow you to any salon!

I am normally very picky about who cuts my hair, and usually find something that I dislike after a haircut. A friend of mine recommended that I go and see Ali for a new cut, but I never had time to do so. After a few months, I finally had the time and made an appointment with Ali. He gave me the best haircut I had in years. He was ready to hear what I wanted, then open to make suggestions...the result was amazing!!! I am very satisfied with the service and will go back again and again. It was definitely worth the price. If you go, you must see him.

Roy Teeluck Salon is a platinum salon with all the amenities you could ever want with a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Tim Johnson, hands-down the best stylist, artist I've ever been to, is amazingly friendly. He sits down and really explores what you're looking for. Then, it's almost like ESP, he just gets it. He does exactly what you want better than you could ever have imagined it. He's an absolute sculptor, a gift, whose talent I feel it almost my duty to share with as many people as possible. It might be more difficult for me to get an appointment that way, but honestly, he deserves all the success in the world because talent like his is hard to find.

I've been Sandra's client for 5 years. I came to her with hair trauma. My hair was too dark and unflattering with a purple hue. This color was not my choice and I needed someone to correct it. Sandra to the rescue! Sandra's warm personality, kindness and sense of humor, immediately put me at ease.
Through Sandra's expertise she was able to to correct my hair color. She achieved this without damaging my hair and created a beautiful shade of red. I get so many compliments and people think I am a natural red head. I feel really lucky to know Sandra and if you are looking for a colorist that will work with you and give you the best possible color, I strongly recommend Sandra

I moved to the city about 3 wks ago, and Roy Teeluck Salon is the first place I got my hair done. I have a lot of hair and Gabriel did a great job cutting it. Really good prices and you can just walk in! I highly suggest going, and definitely ask for Gabriel, it's worth it!

5 Stars: Highly Recommend... (by ELCozz)

ELCozz — Wed, 25 Mar 2009 02:00:00 GMT

I recently visited Roy Teeluck where I was greeted by a smiling, friendly receptionist. The experience I had was not one to forget. The service was top notch. Russ did my color and it has never looked so good. I have had highlights for quite some time and always thought they looked good but after seeing the result of Russ' amazing work I will never let anyone else color my hair again!!! I followed the color with a cut and blowout by Gabriel--also amazing! I spent a few hours there and always felt as though the staff was attentive and very accommodating. I would highly recommend going and experiencing this salon you will not regret it!

5 Stars: AMAZING Salon: Simply the BEST! (by Osric514)

Osric514 — Tue, 24 Mar 2009 02:00:00 GMT

I normally don't write reviews but I wanted to say how fabulous the Roy Teeluck Salon is! From the very welcoming front desk staff, the friendly coat check attendant, the assisant Johans (a super relaxing and soothing shampoo) to my unbelievably talented stylist Roanni, everything was classy and exactly the way a salon should be! I have short hair and believe you me, she knows what she is doing (she has a short hair herself). She's not only talented but has a very fun and spunky personality. My hair (a very cute pixie cut) has never looked better! I get compliments on it almost every single day. Trust me, Roanni is a true artist. And for color I had Abby give me a very rich auburn. I have never looked prettier and she is super sweet! I Couldn't be happier with my hair. I'm definitely sold on the RoyTeeluck Salon!

5 Stars: Want a great cut?? Try Teeluck!! (by PBook)

PBook — Tue, 24 Mar 2009 02:00:00 GMT

The Roy Teeluck is a true gem of a salon in the city! For color, Russ transformed me into a radiant and rich chocolate brunette. He really listens and he takes his time to make sure you are happy with the result. And then I had another great experience with my stylist Tim! He's so awesome! He also listened to me. We sat down before the cut to discuss what I really wanted and then I got it! My hair looks amazing! Also when you are there, make sure you have Duffy do your eyebrows, she tweezes (no wax) and she not only beautifies your brows, she relaxes you too. And top it off, make sure you get Edith to do a manicure, my nails have never looked lovelier. You will be happy at Roy Teeluck, it's a place where you feel welcome the moment you step in!

1 Stars: Horrible!!! (by MKilsher22)

MKilsher22 — Mon, 23 Mar 2009 02:00:00 GMT

I have visited quite a few salons for color, in various parts of the country (NJ, NYC, Miami, Los Angeles) and I have never received such horrible color. First of all, bleach should not be the basis when highlighting hair. A true salon mixes color depending on each individual person - dying hair should not be a "one size fits all" deal. I read all of the great reviews and thought I would give this one a try...I should have ran when two people in front of me got their color screwed up by the girl who was supposed to be doing mine next! But I went ahead, and recieved WHITE stripes in my dark brown hair. She "toned" it to a dark orange. I spent hours and a good hunk of change to be close to tears. And then she tried to tell me "I should have brought in pictures to show what I wanted". Well Sandra, I can assure you that in other salons, I never brought in pictures and ended up walking out looking great. SKIP THIS SALON, AT LEAST FOR COLOR!!!!! Great salons know what to do with color - this salon paints bleach on and hopes for the best.

4 Stars: Great cut if you're wiling to spend (by beanzy2)

beanzy2 — Sun, 22 Mar 2009 02:00:00 GMT

I vowed to write a review on city search since I went here based on the reviews I read. I went to Abby for color and Ali for a cut and blowdry. Abby was very friendly and super sweet. Like I knew, she suggested the balayge highlights and a single process on my roots to even out the color. The color looks really great albeit not too much different and definitely not 225 dollars worth great. I mean she lterally painted pieces of my hair with bleach, washed it out and then put in a root boost color and washed it out. My cut on the otherhand I LOVE. Ali was so friendly and he gave me a beautiful side bangs and fantastic layers that gave my hair the shape that it needed. It made me look like a new person. The blowdry was great and the cut and blowdry was 125 which I thought was well worth it. The reason why I think it was understaffed was because on my first visit youre supposed to get a free manicure and the manicurist was sweet but botched it with bad timing and started filing mt nails and didnt finish. I also thought they could have used another assistant to help with washing, beverage service and giving magazines. I mean when you're dropping 500 for a color and cut I really feel like you deserve the star treatment.

My suggestion, go elsewhere for a cheaper color. I'm not 100% buying this balayge thing, but go here for a cut and blowdry, its worth it.

5 Stars: Best Haircut (by joeygrl99)

joeygrl99 — Sat, 21 Mar 2009 02:00:00 GMT

Came in for highlights and a trim. The stylist Ali convinced me to try something new. He created the perfect bob for my face shape. Truely amazing stylist. Best haircut I've ever had. He was really nice and I'm glad I went w/ his suggestion. Michelle did my color- Suttle highlights that look completely natural. They look great (lots of compliments). They were both amazing. The staff was friendly. Offer great cappicinos. They say u get a free manicure your first visit, but they forgot to do mine. (no big deal) I would highly recommend Ali, and Michelle. I will be returning and will remain open minded w/ Ali.

5 Stars: Ali is SOO Amazing!!! (by jaydnycphotographer)

jaydnycphotographer — Thu, 19 Mar 2009 02:00:00 GMT

So I decided to go from the typical long layers to a bob. For this jump I wanted an artist! And I got one!

The woman who answered the phone recommended Ali Ozel to be my stylist because he is the best at going from long to short.

And let me tell you Ali was amazing!!!! When he analyzed my hair at first he said, "You have such a beautiful face....and you can't even see it with all this hair. It's too much." He took his time and was so focused during the cut. He did things with razors and scissors, that they definitely don't do at my usual salon in Queens. He was definitely a true artist who I trusted from the beginning.

I sat down with Ali, he listened to what I wanted. The other people at the salon also treated me very well. I came out of the salon with exactly what I imagined, and would definitely go there again. Highly recommended. It may be a little high priced, but for the quality of the results, it is worth it.

5 Stars: Best hair stylist in the city!! Ask for Enzo!! (by melissalercara)

Excellent, top of the line salon! Ask for Enzo, I won't let anyone else else touch my hair!!! He is so extremely talented! I have never been happier with my haircut. He is one of the best stylists in the city. Specializes in the dry haircut!!! Call and ask for Enzo if you want the best of the best!!!

Danakishop29 — Wed, 11 Mar 2009 02:00:00 GMT

Gabriel is absolutely the best! I found out about Gabriel through Citysearch and decided to give it a try, and let me tell you I don?t regret it. I?ve been to Gabriel for second hair cut now and I wouldn?t think of going to anyone else. He is very patient and knows his stuff. He really listens to what you want and talks to you throughout the haircut to make sure you get exactly what you want. You won?t be disappointed, call and ask for Gabriel today!!

5 Stars: Really Welcoming and Graciously Artistic Hair Salon: Highly Recommend (by MaryAranas)

MaryAranas — Sun, 08 Mar 2009 01:00:00 GMT

From the really friendly desk staff to coat check girl who offered & brought me a selection of teas, to the yummy shampoo massage, and my artist stylist Ali Ozel who really took time and attention & detail to my haircut, I fully enjoyed this experience. I also love that they support Locks of Love, with 50% discounted cuts certain days and 100% free Wed. time range for 10" or more hair donations for this organization that serves kids with medical hair loss. All in all, I would definitely recommend this salon, and Ali, to others, and will delightedly return for my next hair styling!

Abby is amazing, after my first visit with her I wouldn't let anyone else color my hair. Their stylists are all very skilled, they are unbeaten in NY.

5 Stars: Roy Teeluck salon is way above average and that is why they are soo busy!! (by J987)

J987 — Fri, 06 Mar 2009 01:00:00 GMT

I used to get my highlights done at another salon. Unfortunately, I had to stop going there and I was very nervous for the change. I prefer balayage to foils for highlights and there are only few salons who use this technique. I decided to try Roy Teeluck as the salon comes highly recommended. Sandra made me happy! My highlights are perfect and I got a complimentary manicure too! Change is good! Thank you.

5 Stars: Hair Genie/Genius (by JMACLAREN)

JMACLAREN — Sun, 01 Mar 2009 01:00:00 GMT

I have followed Gabriel Shimunov for 10 years now- Fort Lee, N.J., Warren Tricomi Salon and now Roy Teeluck Salon. I have cheated on him in between to find a hairdresser closer to home (suburbs of NJ), but have always returned to have him fix my butchered hair. "Gabriel" has become a common name in my conversations with my family, friends and strangers as I always get compliments on my hair. They too are now all fans and we all trust Gabriel to give us fabulous hair, whether it be for casual occasions or black tie affairs, ie every family member's wedding/special moments. Gabriel can take direction and give you any hairstyle you desire and, for moments of uncertainty, can give you direction always leaving you ecstatic with the final outcome. The only thing I require from Gabriel is that he never moves and never retires!

5 Stars: Best Bayalage (by yorkiedog)

yorkiedog — Fri, 27 Feb 2009 01:00:00 GMT

I have finally found a salon and a colorist that I want to go back to. Abby Haliti created the most beautiful, natural bayalage highlights without the usual brassy tones I have gotten in several other salons. She made me feel so relaxed that I actually forgot that I was having my color done, which is something that usually makes me nervous after a few color "mishaps" at some New York big name salons.
The atmosphere at the salon is very friendly and non pretentious and I would recommend this place and Abby to anyone who wants a high end experience with a low key attitude.

5 Stars: BEST HAIRCUT!!!!!!!!!! (by angils219)

angils219 — Wed, 25 Feb 2009 01:00:00 GMT

In these hard economic times, what a delight it is to find a hairdresser that can meet both of these requirements! I can truly say that 'Citysearch' came through for me again...Thank you Citysearch! Gabriel did FANTASTIC job on my haircut & style. I came to him with hair that was all messed up from an awful job that this other salon did on my hair. And Gabriel completely FIXED it!! He is Very good at what he does, and my hair never looked better, and is in much better condition as well. And his prices are very reasonable to begin with for the quality job he does, I am very happy.... And want everybody else to know what a great find he is. If your reading this, consider yourself LUCKY to have found him!! I know I am!!

5 Stars: All Around Wonderful Experience (by vn1)

vn1 — Wed, 18 Feb 2009 01:00:00 GMT

okay, here's the deal: when you go to an expensive restaurant, you expect the most impeccable service and the best culinary experience ever, right? if you follow that train of logic, those of us who pay (dearly) for the salon services available in New York should also have high expectations of the experience that we worked so hard to earn. it's not just abt the name of the salon - you're paying for the best quality of product, technique and service that you can, as well as the respect that naturally comes from a service provider to a customer. the roy teeluck salon not only made me realize that i was missing out on that; i also learned that there is a great warmth when your salon really cares about what it's doing, and no amount of money can guarantee that.

i was in just last night on a fluke opportunity for a color training class. the trainer, nancy braun, was amazing, and i got to have my hair colored by abby. the techniques used at roy teeluck and the depth to which they care were the most impressive things to me. the thought that nancy echoed again and again was that, when a customer walks away unhappy with her results, it's usually because there was a lck of communication to determine what she wanted. this, among other things, was teaching at its finest, and it serves as a perfect example of the motivation behind this salon.

the staff is full of friendly, knowledgable people who know what they're doing and whose work speaks volumes - abby and danielle were great people and very skilled, and i knew after watching the class that i would be just as pleased to have met and worked with anyone else at the salon. i would highly recommend them to anyone who was seeking the security of a friendly environment that also happens to offer the best in the industry.

5 Stars: Best Hair Cut I've Ever Had!!! (by Dylis)

Dylis — Mon, 16 Feb 2009 01:00:00 GMT

I am a working actress in the city, so my hair is extremely important to me. I have lived in New York City for thirteen years, and out of all of the salons I've tried through the years, Roy Teeluck is by far the best. I highly recommend Tim Johnson!!! He gives the best hair cuts, and he is also an incredible colorist. I have long, curly, reddish hair, and it has been really hard to find someone who can layer my hair nicely. Tim cut and layered it beautifully. He listens very closely to what you want, and then he delivers it! He also has done my color in the past, and I absolutely LOVED it! I have received so many compliments on my hair because of Tim. Again... I cannot rave enough about Tim's work, and Roy Teeluck as a salon. You will walk out feeling absolutely beautiful and happy!!!

5 Stars: GREAT STYLIST!!!! (by Fsilizabeth)

Fsilizabeth — Sun, 15 Feb 2009 01:00:00 GMT

Gabriel Shimunov is priceless! I was recommended to Gabriel by a good friend who had her hair cut done by him-and I am the happiest woman in the world! Gabriel?s hair cut is so precise, and he cuts to the individual- not a one-size- fits-all. The cut and style he gave me was as well specific to me--not like other places that don't care, this men works with love. He takes his time and creates a beautiful look for everyone. Gabriel is worth 20 stars and I hope he never leaves Roy Teeluck salon because I'll be a customer of his forever.

5 Stars: ALI IS AMAZING! (by JulieMogul)

JulieMogul — Fri, 13 Feb 2009 01:00:00 GMT

Amazing experience! I highly recommend hairdresser Ali as he turned my hair from flat to fabulous. The staff was very friendly and very knowledgeable about how to treat clients with courtesy and respect. The ambiance was very relaxing and super chic. I would recommend ALI to any who would like a experience a new KICK to their life!

5 Stars: Sun-kissed, gorgeous and natural color (by mschrissylyn)

mschrissylyn — Wed, 11 Feb 2009 01:00:00 GMT

For beautiful color with exceptionally natural and stunning results you can't do better than Nancy Braun at the Roy Teeluck Salon. I've been to many of the "top" salon's in both Los Angeles and New York and can't say I've had better results with anyone. She uses the "balayage" technique as opposed to foils. This allows for less out-growth and less damage to the hair. In French, balayage translates to "brush". Instead of very unnatural stripey highlights, Nancy paints on color that elicits a very sun-kissed quality---think Giselle Bunchen's honey-hued locks--very natural and subtle but in a knock-out, what's different about you kinda way. She lightens hair gradually from root to tip, creating the ultra natural effect which mimics nature's way of lightening your hair. I like the way she takes face shape, eye color and skin tone into account when figuring out kind of look she wants to create. All said she is brilliant! One thing to keep in mind is that she is primarily based in Los Angeles and is usually in NYC about once a month.

5 Stars: Consistently Wonderful! (by happywithhairfinally)

happywithhairfinally — Tue, 10 Feb 2009 01:00:00 GMT

I have gotten my hair colored twice with Sandra and both times I have been completely happy with her! I?ve bounced around a bit with hair salons since I am quite picky, but I am finally happy with my colorist! Sandra is great, so accommodating, listens to what you want and she is confident in her work which intern made me feel at ease. I get single process with highlights done. I am very happy with my color and I get many compliments on it! My experience at Roy Teeluck salon from start to finish was stress free! They were very accommodating with fitting me in for an appointment is short notice, the service was great, everyone was very friendly and best of all it wasn't too expensive.

5 Stars: Great haircut by Roanni for my curly, unruly hair! (by countrycitygirl)

countrycitygirl — Mon, 02 Feb 2009 01:00:00 GMT

Having moved from the city to the country years ago, my haircuts kept going downhill & I finally decided to go back to the city for a cut. I have curly unruly hair that I like to both blow-dry straight and let go natural. I did my research and went in to the city for an appointment with Gabriel. About an hour before my appointment, I got a call that Gabriel was sick so I agreed to have Roanni cut my hair. I was a little nervous but was very reassured from the start. Roanni softened the layers and showed me how to blow-dry the bangs. She was great & I felt much more cosmopolitan walking the streets after my haircut. When I got home my husband said it looked great & made me look longer ( a good thing!).

I guess I will be visting the city every few months now!

5 Stars: A De-Mommification Case with Ali and Sandra (by hapmom)

hapmom — Mon, 02 Feb 2009 01:00:00 GMT

I am a mommy. My child is my life. Nevertheless, 5 years later I felt a little too plumpy, my hair straggly, my self-esteem at its lowest ; I no longer took care of myself the same way I did before my baby. I am sure many of you know what I am talking about.
So after feeling sorry for myself for nearly a year, I decided to snap out of my typical mommification case. So, what better, quicker fix that good highlights and a good hair cut? A friend of mine, another mommy, recommended Roy Teeluck"s Ali and Sandra.
The entire experience was OUTSTANDING! The concierge, the salon, EVERYTHING from the beginning to end was wonderful. Sandra and Ali discussed my options with me, listened to my issues and made suggestions...THANK YOU GUYS! We decided on highlights and sandra painted the most beautiful, most natural highlights. I've had highlights before, but never this beautiful, pure light blonde, so shiny and light. She made sure to frame my face really well and the overall effect was very sophisticated. Then Ali started his magic...sigh...WHy was I so afraid to get side bangs? My hair looked stunning, it looked glamorous! It looked bouncy and full. Ali cut it to perfection. Most importantly, I felt womanly again! I felt attractive, daring and young again. My hair cut and my color were in perfect harmony...like Romeo and Juliet. PERFECT! But beyond the fantastic results, the entire place is wonderfully balanced: relaxed,friendly and devoid of affectation. This place is REAL!! I would recommend it to all the moms who forgot to live a little for themselves too...:) I am in love with my hair! Hey, what do you know, I think I'll join the gym next...

5 Stars: Great Salon Experience in all areas (by CSisGr8)

CSisGr8 — Mon, 02 Feb 2009 01:00:00 GMT

If you are looking for a great experience from start to finish, Roy Teeluck is the place to go for Hair Care. Everyone who works there is so nice and the place has great energy. Equally as important, is the skill of their stylists and all who work there. Firstly, Roy, a total hottie, is as talented as he is gorgeous. I have had my hair cut by every great salon owner in NYC over the past 20 years and I have never found anyone better than him. I go to MIchelle for color and she is amazing. She works magic and is always kind and wonderful. I have never had a hastle getting an appointment. If you need your brows done, Duffy is one to go to. I can's say enough nice things about this salon, and highly recommend it. And it looks like I am in the company of 371 other people who feel the same.

Ali gave me the best haircut I have ever had. I love, love, love it and will go back any time I am in New York. The Salon was relaxing and everyone was so nice. I wish I could find a place like this in Dallas. Thanks for a fabulous experience. I would recommend Roy Teeluck to anyone who wants the best haircut of their lives.

5 Stars: I love my hair color Sandra!! (by extremedisneygirl)

extremedisneygirl — Sun, 01 Feb 2009 01:00:00 GMT

I recently moved from Arizona to NYC and have had highlights for 5 years. I have dark brown hair with blonde highlights (at least they were supposed to be blonde). I had my highlights retouched last week in AZ and my hair was a mess! The top of my hair was red and orange and reminded me of red tarantula legs.

I read the reviews on Citysearch and decided to visit with Sandra. She was FANTASTIC! She listened to my concerns and suggested a color correction so that we could start with a more natural color and then add back ?sun kissed highlights?. She showed me pictures and took her time to understand what I was looking for. I was so excited that I scheduled an appointment for later that day.

Sandra was encouraging and knowledgeable. She really cared about my hair and worked very diligently to fix it. She suggested Balayage and painted on my highlights. She made sure I was comfortable and also offered complimentary drinks while I was going through my transformation.

After my color was complete, I had my hair blown dry by Lexi. She was very friendly and created beautiful volume in my hair. I have never had it so full of volume and it looked great! Sandra was close by and made sure that my color looked just perfect when it was all complete.

I am so happy with my new hair color and I can?t wait to go back for a hair cut and deep conditioning treatment. Everyone in the salon was so friendly and made you feel comfortable. THANK YOU Sandra and Lexi!!

5 Stars: BYE BYE FEKKAI.....HELLO GORGEOUS, HEALTHY BLOND HAIR...BEAUTIFUL CUT....GREAT ENVIRONMENT (by KAPTIVA)

KAPTIVA — Thu, 29 Jan 2009 01:00:00 GMT

Ms. Michelle Fury is a Balayage Master.

As a native New Yorker who has been away for several years and now lives East Coast/ West Coast, I have been searching for a New York Salon with the Color Standards that I experienced with Frederic Fekkai in the late 90's and early 2000....with Constance Hartnett, now retired Balayage Queen.

In this Search, I have had bad experiences with three other "Top" Salons in New York. The results were
orange roots, brassy highlights, coupled with a "distracted" attitude by their top colorists.

A friend of mine from Vancouver, Canada recommended Michelle , who had given her "The most beautiful
blond highlights" she had ever had.

I am hooked....Michelle is one of the BEST Balayage Colorists I have experienced (I've been getting highlights from top salons for well over 15 years). She is knowledgeable, professional, she WANTS TO
LISTEN to what you have to say because she respects the fact that YOU know more about your hair
than anyone.

Michelle's color is gorgeous....Dora's Cut was fabulous....I left the salon feeling beautiful and energized.

And....the Atmosphere is friendly, professional and so comfortable, you will feel as if you have been a
Client for years.

I cannot recommend this Salon Highly Enough.

I flew in from Florida for the appointment and will do it again. I am so happy to have found this Salon and
this Team.

I've never written a review for the Internet before....but am thrilled to pass my experience on to you.

5 Stars: Roy Teeluck Salon is the BEST!! (by CMatus)

CMatus — Sat, 24 Jan 2009 01:00:00 GMT

I recently moved to NYC from Phila. I tried a few stylists and colorists mistakening thinking that I'm in NYC they all must be good. Well expensive yes but good know. I went online and found Roy Teeluck's Salon and read some reviews. I made an appt and randomly got Michele and Enzo. They were patient and willing to do what I asked for 3 sessions. I finally realized the reason I was going to them was for their expertise. I didn't like how my hair looked. They tried to do as I wanted but made some comments and recommendations that I wasn't ready to hear. Finally I told Michele that I'm a brunette not a blonde and I wanted to go to my more natural color with minimal highlights. She was thrilled because that is what she thought I should do and was professionally tactful not to push me. When she colored my hair I loved it, looked healthy and better, and people even in the salon said wow...you came in with lighter hair and it looks great this way. She is professional and her willingness to work with me made me trust her to do what she wanted to do with my hair. I'm grateful to her for making it look so good. Enzo was my stylist who couldn't believe what my hair looked like and tried to correct the awful cut, patiently tried to allow my slow growing hair to grow in...and after the 3rd time cutting my hair encouraged me to do a little something different to get rid of the boxie style. I agreed but could still see he thought I needed more. I again realized I hated my hair the way I thought I wanted it and told him to do what he thinks is best. I LOVE MY CUT! It looks healthy, I look better, and now it can grow in with a style. I think they are each so professional, so talented, and so in touch with how to have customers trust them to do the right look for the customer. I am so happy I found this salon. I also like that every time I'm there Roy is there too. It's not just a name it is his place. They are the BEST!!!

4 Stars: Great Salon, but not worth the hype (by busterbrown16)

busterbrown16 — Fri, 23 Jan 2009 01:00:00 GMT

I have been so excited for my appt for weeks after reading the great reviews for the Roy Teeluck Salon. I have blonde hair, but I felt it was too platinum for my fair complexion and Russ was my colorist. He was EXTREMELY nice and talked and joked with me throughout the process. At first I thought my hair looked orange-ish (?) but after it dried it looked much better. I don't see much of a difference for the price that I payed because my roots are still a little darker than the rest of my hair, but everyone in the salon was great. I was asked by several people if I needed anything or wanted anything to drink and the girl that shampooed my hair, I think her name is Danielle, could not have been more pleasant. I had my hair styled afterwards by Dora who wasn't as friendly, but perhaps she was having a bad day. Sometimes I felt like they were pushing more products/services on me telling me how great they were or that I needed i, but I know it was to spend more money so just think twice about whether you REALLY need anything else done. I don't think I will be going back because I'm a college student with a budget and I feel like the salon I go to could have done the same thing. It was a good experience though.

5 Stars: Tim is INCREDIBLE!! (by LisaRey)

LisaRey — Thu, 22 Jan 2009 01:00:00 GMT

I have been going to Tim for my color, highlights and haircuts for 2+ years and he is simply the best, hands down. My hair is thick and curly and I am extremely picky so in the past, I have had so much trouble finding a colorist and stylist that I trusted. After reading all the amazing reviews that others posted about Tim, I decided to give him a try. Tim impressed me from the minute I met him. He took the time to talk to me before he started, asking me questions about my lifestyle and the look I wanted. After spending a few hours with him, I was amazed at what he had done - beautiful, natural looking highlights and an extremely flattering style that worked well regardless of whether I wore my hair curly or straight. I couldn't have been happier. Roy Teeluck Salon was beautiful as well - complimentary wine, coffee or water and amazing manicures while you are getting your hair done. Everyone was so nice and accomodating! Since that first experience, I have been back to see Tim regularly and he is total miracle worker! I completely trust his judgment and always ask his advice or opinion about different shades of color or cuts that would work for me. He is always spot on and just when I don't think he can impress me more, he always does. He is incredibly talented, genuine, fun to talk to and he makes you look and feel like a million bucks. He is my absolute favorite and I will never, ever go anywhere else again. Do yourself a favor and schedule an appointment with Tim - I promise you he will transform you into the best version of yourself!!

5 Stars: Most natural looking highlights ever! (by slabow1)

I have been going to Nancy Braun for 10 years for highlights. She is quite simply the best. I first heard about her through a friend who was a publicist for several high profile celebrities. I asked her for a recommendation and I've been seeing Nancy ever since. I can honestly say I have the most natural looking highlights ever! She does this process called balayage which doesn't require any foils--she just paints it on and instead of looking like I just had my hair colored, I look like I just got back from a vacation at the beach. The color lasts which means fewer trips to the salon which I actually wouldn't mind since she makes the whole experience fun! She's just really down to earth and extremely talented. She is quite simply the best hair colorist period. It really doesn't get any better!

I read the wonderful reviews while I was in Miami, FL, and decided to have my hair done at Roy Teeluck salon by Gabriel when I got to NYC. I made my appointment, and... I love my hair! Gabriel is great and I have already told my family and friends here to go there. Thank you for taking such great care of me! I'll be back!

5 Stars: The most beautiful highlights ever! (by Catgirl10014)

Catgirl10014 — Tue, 20 Jan 2009 01:00:00 GMT

Last Saturday I went to the Roy Teeluck salon, and I'm so glad I did. My
colorist was Abby and she gave me the best highlights I have ever had in
my life! She talked to me about my hair and suggested a french technique
of highlights called balyage. Always before at other salons I have had
the tin foil in my hair, but Abby treated my hair like a fine fabric. She
hand painted each highlight like an artist. It felt a little strange to
have my head covered in cotton and plastic wrap, but the results were
amazing! So natural and still close to the root. This will definitely
last me until the spring! I'm so glad I tried something different. And I
have to say that unlike a lot of hairdressers who seem shallow or stuck up
and chit chat so I feel like I have to make small talk about their lives
instead of just relaxing Abby is super-nice and friendly, but not like
that at all. We talked for a bit and then I was able to read a magazine
and enjoy my (complementary) fancy coffee and leave refreshed. Also the
front desk people were so nice. It wasn't a perfect experience though -
they were having some kind of problem with their water and seemed to be
trying to do a lot with not the greatest space. But really all that
matters is my beautiful highlights. It's been 3 days and I'm still so
happy with how they look. I will definitely go back to Abby!

5 Stars: Roy Teeluck is the best- Sandra is amazing!! (by jen34)

jen34 — Mon, 19 Jan 2009 01:00:00 GMT

I went to Roy Teeluck for the first time to brighten my look for going back to work after my maternity leave- I really needed a pick-me-up, but I was also concerned it not look artificial- On my first day back, I didn't want anyone at the office to notice an abrupt change, rather to just think I looked more alive and vibrant. Sandra was very professional and outlined a few choices for me, but suggested "balayage" as a way to achieve what I was looking for- to put life back into my dull light colored locks. Wow! I am truly impressed. My husband (of course) forgot I was having an appointment, and that night he said he thought I finally looked rested after my maternity leave! (If it can work on him, it can work on everyone!) It seems to take a real talent to do balayage- something I don't think I would ever trust my old "regular" salon with. In fact, I want Sandra to be my colorist from now on, I feel really taken care of and safe in her hands. Thanks!

5 Stars: Tim-awesome artist, awesome service (by sapa321)

sapa321 — Mon, 19 Jan 2009 01:00:00 GMT

I can't be grateful enough to my girlfriend for sharing her stylist with me! Tim showed a genuine interest and wanted to know more than what I would've liked my hair to look like. We went over my life style, habits and maintenance and he came up with the BEST hair style I have ever had in my life. It looks sophisticated, modern and I LOVE my side swept bangs!! I understand now the difference between an artist and the average stylist. I was surprised to see Roy Teeluck salon that busy, but after an awesome service, I get it!! It is not your typical salon. Everyone is friendly and super-polite and Tim is the nicest and most talented person I've met in a really long time. WOW!

cheveuxmagnifiques76 — Mon, 19 Jan 2009 01:00:00 GMT

I made my decision to visit Roy Teeluck salon based on City search reviews, so I'd like to share my experience with this community. My natural hair color is light brown, sort of mousy with highlights. Sandra was my colorist. She was very nice and suggested the french balayage. I never had it done before and she explained the difference between that and foils. She seemed so passionate about her job , so I trusted her. I still looked silly though, my head adorned with cellophane and cotton... However, my highlights were truly gorgeous!!! They were beautifully distributed and they looked both natural and defined. I love my highlights!!!

5 Stars: MICHELE IS NOT THE WORST COLORIST SHE IS THE BEST (by Lizgirl56)

Lizgirl56 — Sun, 18 Jan 2009 01:00:00 GMT

I just happened to look at Roy Teeluck City search when I read the review about Michele. I actually was sitting next to you in the salon, and yes I'm a blond. If you remember she sat with you and explained step by step why your hair was three different colors and why you could not have the color you wanted. You sat there and agreed to go back to your natural color . Michele talked to you so much she was running late for my appointment. I have been going to Michele for 3 years at the ROY TEELUCK salon and she can have a crazy busy day and she always is smiling, and bubbly. I have seen her due ethnic clients as well,and treats them all the same. I don't know how city search could allow a person to post false information about individual.
Michele stopped my highlights and came up to you and asked you If you were happy with your color. You were to busy having a disagreement with your mother to answer her. I am so happy I decided to check city search tonight because Michele did not deserve your review. She dose deserve a review saying she is the best colorist in NYC and she is honest . Sometimes you can't have what you want the first time you walk into a salon. I could not have what I wanted the first time and slowly I was able to achieve my color. Thank you Michele for keeping my hair happy and healthy...... YOU ARE NUMBER 1

5 Stars: Go see Sandra & Alli for the best Color & Cut! (by Angela06830)

Angela06830 — Fri, 16 Jan 2009 01:00:00 GMT

After reading review after review in search of the perfect salon I decided to try my luck at RoyTeeluck. Many of the stylists & colorists working at RoyTeeluck received glowing reviews but I choose to see Sandra & Ali. I could not be happier with the results and feel my hair looks better than ever! Before staring, Sandra & Ali both took the time to speak with me about my hair including what I liked and disliked about its current state. They were patient while I explained previous hair traumas and showed them picture after picture of the style and color I desired. Sandra transformed the color of my overly highlighted blonde locks into rich golden shades that complement my skin tone and make my eyes look the bluest of blues. Ali worked wonders with his scissors and the cut he created looked far better than the model pictures I had showed him. Sandra & Ali are not only extremely talented hair artists but they are also very nice, unpretentious people. During the past 10 years I have visited more than 15 salons in Manhattan, Hoboken, Greenwich & Westchester and I have never received better service or attention than at RoyTeeluck. Please go see Sandra & Ali if you really want your hair to look as beautiful as possible.

5 Stars: Best hair color wizard in NYC at Roy Teeluck Salon (by Sniffygg)

Sniffygg — Sun, 11 Jan 2009 01:00:00 GMT

Sandra Valilescu transformed my hair ffrom dull brown to a magnificent array of colors and highlights and restrained my natural desire for dramatic, chunky highlights to a look far more approriate and suitable to my face and age. She rocks. Sigourney Weaver was there so they maintain some high standards. I have finally found my color goddess!

5 Stars: Great place for coloring and highlights (by silverorchid666)

silverorchid666 — Thu, 08 Jan 2009 01:00:00 GMT

Based on citysearch?s raving review about the salon, I decided to give it a try and now it?s my time to share my experiences for other reviewers.
I decided to see Sandra for my coloring. I bought some photos with me for the colors and communicate what I would like. Sandra really listened to me and my concerns. I was open for different options and we decided to go with a single processed color and a highlight. I was nervous at first since I have Asian hair (although I have my hair dyed and with black roots this time) ? very often I either get too light or too dark of the color ? it seems very hard to get the perfect shade unless I get my hair done in Asia. However, Sandra delivered it! The color come out with more red undertone than the photo but looks totally nature on me. It suites my skin tone and looks perfect. Overall, I have a very good experience and would give it a try again.
GOOD THINGS -----------
*** SERVICE: great. Very friendly, down to earth yet very professional salon.
**** LOCATION: very convenient. It?s across from Four seasons and easy to find.
**** PRODUCT USED: very good. L?oreal was what was used to color and highlight my hair.
**** PRICE: very good. I have long hair and paid $100 for single process and $125 for highlight. I definitely think it?s worth it after seeing the result.

TO BE IMPROVED-----------
*** INTERIOR: it?s very clean, but the interior can have a little bit upgrade. Overall it?s a comfortable space.
*** EQUIPTMENT: If there is one area to make it better, I think some ?EAR COVERS? would really help the coloring process. I have sensitive skin and it really burned my ears when the dye was touch the back of my ears.

5 Stars: Great highlites, great haircut, great service (by nearby)

nearby — Thu, 08 Jan 2009 01:00:00 GMT

What a way to start the new year! I finally found a salon that's walking distance to my home - and with great services. Sandra patiently listened to what I wanted, dug around in my hair to look at the various lowlights and highlights, made some suggestions as to what is best to refresh my roots, and gave me excellent hilites. I was a little nervous - but the glass of champagne and manicure (part of a newcomer's special on YELP) calmed me down. Tim also listened to my hair trim wants - compared what I thought was 2 inches vs. the reality of 2 inches to trim off and gave me fabulous layers and a wonderful blowout. Both Sandra and Tim were so down-to-earth and friendly. And the shampoo gal, manicurist, and receptionist were also friendly. I found the prices reasonable - and since I'm not in the salon every month, OK on day-per-wearing basis. I'll definitely be back as I'm so happy that I found a salon that suits my style and is convenient for me. enjoy!

5 Stars: DYNAMIC HAIR DUO (by ELLYO)

ELLYO — Sun, 04 Jan 2009 01:00:00 GMT

I recently had been on an independent quest for a hair salon that I would feel comfortable with in terms of overall atmosphere and that would of course, make my hair look great! I looked on city search and found reviews for the Roy Teeluck salon that inspired me to make my "Holiday/New Year" makeover appointment. A little nervous about the decision I had made to cut my hair length significantly, I was more concerned at the time about the "right" stylist for "big changes" and Tim was recommended.

I showed for my appointment and I was immediately pleased with the friendliness of the reception staff as well as the relaxed, yet professional setting. I first met with Abby for coloring consult and she was both pleasant as well as honest in her advice to not make any changes in color for that visit. Upon introduction to Tim for styling consult, however, he asked many insightful questions such as "What did the best cut I ever had look like?", "Did I feel this current style matched who I was as a person?", "Was my profession more cooperate or more creative?". I loved the fact that Tim asked these questions to know me better as a "new" client.

Basically, Tim worked his magic and brought me from "black and white" to "color" in his cut alone! He was meticulous and made sure to move my hair around in different angles, observing how it looked wet and then how it naturally dried. As for my next visit, I asked Tim for a colorist that he worked with more regularly. He recommended Sandra who brought light and contrast to my hair while not making it looked "overworked". Tim and Sandra are a dynamic hair duo! Both were absolutely great and I can't imagine a better job elsewhere, with anyone else.

5 Stars: Beautiful hair & wonderful service + champagne too??? WOW! (by jacny)

jacny — Sat, 03 Jan 2009 01:00:00 GMT

I decided to chose Roy Teeluck salon based on an extensive research, as well as a desire to find a less snobby atmosphere. The concierge was wonderful, a cappuccino magically appearead and they even had champagne!! Sandra was my colorist. She was fantastic! Sweet, non-pretentious and so so talented!! In the past other colorists insisted to make my hair lighter, even though I always felt it was too light. She dared to listen to my wish and I ended up with a gorgeus brown color with so much dimension, I just love it! It surely did wonders for my eyes and skin! Gabriel cut it for me, he is so good! He made me feel soo amazing! My hair looked so beautiful, so shiny and so rich when I left. I would highly recommend it to anyone, surely me and my friends will visit again!! What a great way to begin a new year!

5 Stars: Fabulous cut and style - see Ali (by crogirl)

crogirl — Fri, 02 Jan 2009 01:00:00 GMT

I have lived in Manhattan for the past 5 years, and as a professional in the arts am always concerned about my appearance, especially my hair. I tried various upscale stylists on the recommendation of friends, and while the results were never disastrous, they were also not fabulous - that is, until Ali at the Roy Teeluck Salon got his hands on me. Ali checked the shape of my head, my hair type, and then took the time to talk to me about what my needs are with my hair in order to come up with a style that complimented my features and color perfectly. It has been a month, and my short haircut has held its shape despite the fact that my hair grows pretty fast. Other than Ali's amazing cut, the Salon itself is friendly and relaxed, and the espresso is great. This is the first review I have ever bothered to write on this site, so please believe the hype, and go see Ali...

mcsnj169 — Tue, 30 Dec 2008 01:00:00 GMT

Sandra just moved to Roy Teeluck a few months ago and I followed her there from her last salon. She is wonderful. She is an expert on getting my naturally medium brown hair to a very pretty, very natural copper red. I get asked if I'm a natural redhead all the time! She also is wonderful at really taking the time to talk to you beforehand about how you want your hair to look--she listens to you and looks at any photos you bring in...which is especially good for me--red is a hard color to get right!
Last time I went, Lexi gave me a wonderful blow-dry afterwards. She took her time and made it look incredibly glamorous--I was very happy. When I told her that I would love for her to do my hair for an important event I had the next day, she even offered to come into the salon early the next morning (on her time off) in order to accommodate me before my event that afternoon.
Roy Teeluck is a great salon. Wonderful customer service and great results!!

5 Stars: Great experience with Sandra & Tim!! (by dredavis)

dredavis — Sun, 28 Dec 2008 01:00:00 GMT

I loved the Roy Teeluck salon and plan on returning every time I need my hair redone. When I first go to an expensive salon, I don't always expect such a friendly vibe as I experienced at Roy Teelucks. From booking the appointment, meeting the receptionist, and speaking with the stylists and assistants, EVERYONE is friendly and nice. I did not wait at all, which is hard to come by in a busy establishment. Maybe I was lucky but I noticed the stylists were well aware of being on time with their other clients as well. Sandra did my color and it turned out beautiful! She was very, very sweet, making sure I was comfortable and warm:) She asked me exactly what I wanted and when I told her I didn't exactly know she gave me plenty of options of what she could do for me. I was very impressed with how much she repaired my color. Because the color took longer than expected, they rearranged my cut to be done by Tim and I was grateful for how it worked out because he did a great job! He is truly a talented and thoughtful artist. I was smiling before he even finished. Overall the atmosphere, attitude and talent is exactly what makes me want to return to the Roy Teeluck salon. There's a reason why there's over 300 positive reviews compared to the 14 negative reviews on the site. And I highly recommend Sandra and Tim!!! They really care about the client and have such talent!

after a few try in differents high- end salons , never getting the cut that i was hoping for ( something that would suit me ....) . i booked and appointment with Antoine on a friend recomandation , Antoine took the time to find out my ideas for my hair and suggested layers around my face but not in the back to keep my hair looking neat .,
(my hair is fine and hairdressers always tend to over layer wich is so difficult to manage at home ) So after a great shampoo i was excited to get a new cut . i was not disappointed , after seeing that the cut was exactly what we talked about i received a great blowout and felt soooo good .
i will be back for sure !

Roy Teeluck destroyed my gorgeous long hair by chopping ugly, dated short layers into it after I asked for no short layers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They are also manipulating this board by copying and re-posting old reviews when a bad review comes up.

Roy Teeluck gives women mullets and calls it a haircut.

Roy Teeluck doesn't listen is FAR FROM worth the $350 he charges for haircut.

I would highly recommend her. She spent time speaking with me and getting to know what I really wanted before performing her magic. Then I sat in Gabriel's chair and the cut was a perfect ending to a perfect experience.

I am a recently divorced woman who really needed a beauty boost after a grueling divorce that left me with a low self esteem so i decided to take charge. I had an office Christmas party to attend and there was going to be a guy there that i had a crush on so i wanted to be sure to look my best. Besides my fabulous dress, matching shoes, etc i had to tend to my hair that looked like the way i was feeling. After a little research on the net i found the salon that could give me the boost i needed and put the vixen back in my MO, Roy Teeluck Salon was my choice, and i decided that i was going to see the man himself! OMG, i can't tell you how amazing i look and feel.Sexy must be this mans middle name! The whole experience in this buzzing friendly salon was just what i needed, it even got me noticed by my crush at the party,I was HOT. Thank you Roy and your excellent team for bringing me back. I had no idea how much i was missing the taste of life.

1 Stars: Worst haircut (by illi008)

illi008 — Mon, 22 Dec 2008 01:00:00 GMT

After having researched online and read all the reviews I finally decided to go to the Roy Teeluck Salon. What a huge disappointment. The stylist just didn't seem to understand what haircut I was going after. We decided on a "modern, trendy, cute haircut". BUT, I don't know what happened since I literally had to tell the stylist that I didn't like the cut several times. So, in the end after my 130 dollars haircut I ended up with an awful haircut that looks more like an old lady's haircut rather than the trendy, modern haircut fit for a girl in her 20s.

I would definitely not recommend the salon, and I seriously regret not getting up and leaving in the first place. When the stylist saw the horrified look in my face and asked if I liked the haircut (duh) and I then replied that it wasn't at all what I was picturing - the stylist then had the nerve to tell me that "I wasn't the only one who had to be satisfied with the haircut" . I can't believe it.

Please do yourself a favor and find another hair salon!

A friend of mine found stylist ALI at Roy Teeluck. I loved his cut how it complemented her face, how perfectly cut&styled it was. I went for a haircut right after and I'm very happy I did. Ali is a very talented, friendly, professional hair stylist. He took his time to understand what I wanted , made great suggestions given that I did not want to spend muchtime styling it at home, I have thick, dry hair that's not easy to tame. He gave me the perfect layered hair cut that fit all my needs. He patiently answered all my questions about hair care, styling , also showed step by step how I can easily style my hair at home without spending much time..Great cuts, Great service!!

gscallion — Wed, 17 Dec 2008 01:00:00 GMT

If you want to regain the natural blonde highlights of your youth, request Sandra to color your hair. I found Sandra three years ago after suffering through the bleached hair process used in Florida salons. She corrected my color and added lo-lights and highlights. She then added toner as a glaze. For the first time in years, my blonde hair looked naturally highlighted! When she moved to Roy Teeluck a few weeks ago, I was concerned about making the move with her. After today's appointment, I am once again reminded of why I will go out of my way from Lower Manhattan to have Sandra color my hair. She understands how blonde hair needs to have depth and dimension. I walked in with damaged hair and I walked out with glorious blonde highlights and silky smooth hair! The goody bag of shampoo, conditioner, and styling spray was an unexpected treat! The staff was very nice, especially Kaitlyn, who shampooed and styled my hair. If you want blonde hair that looks soft and natural, let Sandra work her magic!

Ladies!! I've been a blonde for such a long time that I don't really remember the natural shade of my color. Suffice to say I am really a brunette. If you have darker hair, you know how hard it is sometimes to achieve a beautiful blonde. Brass is our enemy! I decided to try Roy Teeluck. Sandra listened to what my concerns were and asked a lot of questions about how I like to wear my hair. Started doing my highlights and I thought we were done. BUT NO!! After they washed out my highlights, Sandra applied a "glaze" to my hair that kinda looked very red and freaked me out, despite of Sandra's warning that what I see is not what I get.
MY GOD, glorious glaze!! I don't think my hair color looked better EVER!! After that, one of the assistants--the girl with red hair--styled my hair (and BTW, styled my hair SO WELL). MY hair was a cascade of beautiful, buttery, soft, glossy locks that looked as if they belonged!! They were shiny, wonderfully placed highlights and simply a gorgeous, silky blond with no trace of brassiness and amazing range of dimensions. I felt like a golden goddess!! Best part? My husband kept staring at me all night and kept saying how flattering my hair looked! THANK YOU, THANK YOU SANDRA!!

missyrob — Sun, 14 Dec 2008 01:00:00 GMT

I just read the review about the unfortunately highlighting experience someone had here... Michele has been coloring my hair for about three years, which is a record for me. Michele treats my hair like a baby... i have dry hair and i always want blonder but Michele is the pro and she knows best. She really, really does treat my hair like a her baby, she is very gentle and careful that we do not do "too much". I get my haircut at another upscale salon and they rave about my color (the ultimate compliment i think) as well as just about everyone i know and sometimes even strangers.
And as far as her assistant doing most of it... one word , HUH??? That sounds odd... that has NEVER happened to me.
If your scalp was burnt something else is going on and it should be checked before you have it colored again...
I would reco (and have) Michele to anyone

Hobokengirl — Sat, 13 Dec 2008 01:00:00 GMT

I never write reviews but because I made my appointment based on the reviews of others, I had to detail my experience at Roy Teeluck. I had balayage highlights done with Abby who was wonderful. She started off our consultation by complimenting my hair repeatedly even though it had been 8 months since my last highlight at Salon AKS (where I was a client of over 10 years) and left very unhappy. She asked about my last highlight and why I didn't like it so she could get to know me better and then quickly set to work. She was extremely down to earth and meticulous with the color application, getting to the root all over my head and really making sure she placed the highlights where they needed to be. She worked alone, unlike most nyc salons where the assistant does more work than the actual colorist. She also took out the highlights section by section so the overall color was even. She even waited to see my color after the cut was finished although she had somewhere else to be. Next I had a cut with Ali Ozel. He also put me at ease very quickly with his kind manner (he actually stayed late for my appointment even though this was my first visit). He didn't suggest a crazy change, made sure I was completely comfortable with whatever he was doing and was skilled at cutting very little hair to get a great shape. Beware, he does use a type of razor scissor that could scare you at first, but its to thin out certain sections to give body and he knows what he's doing. I am happy to say my hair has found a new home at Roy Teeluck. Jovan

don't get bugged out about the high profile of this salon. you deserve the best.

i am a conservative asian woman and ex-investment banker. i was really nervous about changing my color to any shade other than black. let me introduce you to my colorist--sandra v. she's amazing. if you have beautiful glowing black hair au naturelle, go see her. i thought i had great hair until she had her way with me. now, i have an amazing color job. if my hair could be described in another way, i would say warm and less severe, but not crazy. Sandra gave my hair a real "je ne sais crois" or in plain english--a glow. good bye boring black and hello silky smooth:)

to all the asian women out there, when in doubt, just do it, but pls make your appt with sandra:) trust me, i am a fan and loyal client. wish i could post a before and after pic.....

thanks sandra! you're the best.

I have been to many salons in the city (fekkai, sahag...just to name a few), but was blown away (no pun intended) by Ali at Roy Teeluck. This is by far the best hair cut and style that I have ever had. He is extremely talented and has a magic touch when it comes to hair. Very meticulous, patient and listens to what I want out of my hair. I have to give him very little instructions and just give him an idea of what I want and he has not failed to give me the best haircut. I never write reviews, but felt compelled to write him one because I think he is so amazing and talented. He truly is a magician when it comes to hair. Huge fan and would recommend him to anyone for every occasion.

He listens well to what magic you want done to your hair, gives you the lowdown on what can be accomplished, and might suggest a tweaking of your initial concept according to your facial shape, lifestyle. Then he delivers a truly picture-perfect haircut, beautifully precise in his cutting, completed with a masterful blowdry. Ali takes his time to make sure your hair looks like something off a magazine page (wish he could do the same for the rest of me), and his manner is sweet, friendly & soothing. The salon is comfortable and not snooty for being off Madison Ave, and the staff that assisted me were all quick and friendly. I went to him after seeing the amazing haircut he had given to my friend.

5 Stars: Antoine is Amazing!!! (by plum9)

plum9 — Thu, 11 Dec 2008 01:00:00 GMT

I AM IN LOVE!!! I have curly, thick hair and so often hairdressers just assume that it will "behave" like straight hair--sooooo, they cut it wet, fail to layer and I walk out with an uneven triangle--ugh! So not the case at Roy Teeluck and with Antoine. He listened intently and was constantly checking and rechecking while cutting, he paid attention to the work in front of him and did very little socializing with other stylists or clients around him. The vibe at the salon is great and people were friendly and professional, not a hint of snobbery. I already made my second appointment!

5 Stars: gorgeous hair---relaxing, cozy salon experience! (by chrissylyn)

chrissylyn — Thu, 11 Dec 2008 01:00:00 GMT

This is my first online review of anything, but I am SO inspired and in love with my new haircut that I had to share the experience. My haircut was done by Ali. He is PERFECTION and so is my new hair. I have worked many years as a freelance catalog and runway model so I know how much a great haircut can make a difference in my life and my income! Most importantly I look and feel beautiful with very little effort..not always the case! Ali is a true artist and perfectionist. He listened to what I wanted and was able to deliver far beyond my expectations. Everyone I encountered was so lovely and helpful from Johans, who shampooed me into a state of bliss, to the friendly front desk concierges...all exceptional. I would highly recommend the Roy Teeluck salon to anyone who is choosey about who touches their hair. You are amazing Ali!

5 Stars: some people are really crazy (by nevrfacedefeat)

nevrfacedefeat — Wed, 10 Dec 2008 01:00:00 GMT

I can say that I have been Michelles client for years and i read what was written about her and I have to strongly disagree. When Michelle does my highlights she uses a technique called Balayage which is where she paints it individually at my root and thicker on the ends. It grows out really natural and I can wait months before I have to go back. It would be IMPOSSIBLE for someones scalp to burn from her highlights because they dont directly touch my scalp. If u want natural looking highlights Michelle Fury is your girl! Balayage is the most natural looking highlights you can get and she is the BEST at this technique. If you have a problem with Michelle Im pretty sure you have had problems everywhere else you went. Otherwise why would you leave whoever was doing your hair before if it was so beautiful! I love Michelle and the way she does my highlights. Anyone that doesnt think she is amazing and talented is CRAZY.

1 Stars: highlights destroyed my hair (by barre)

barre — Tue, 09 Dec 2008 01:00:00 GMT

I love my hair and decided to get highlights. The colorist told be how beautiful my hair was little did i know she was going to change that within a couple of hours. I had an appointment with a senior colorist her assistant came up to us and the colorist said you are the only one that can't do highlights, but this is great hair to learn on. I said I did not want streaks, but i ended up with unnatural ugly streaks. while the color was processing the colorist disappeared and the assistant was doing more of the work. As i was running my hands through my hair it felt much thinner, my scalp started itching and slightly burning. I called and said I did not like the color they said to come in and they would fix it. I told the colorist I had breakage she said i did not. I told her my head burned she said no it tingles. So she put more color on my hair to tone it down. I still thought it looked streaky. Then she put more dye on the front and top of my hair and it looked red. I did not want red I wanted blonde. My hair looked horrible and then I spent days with ice on my scalp and running cold water through my scalp. This is the fifth day that my scalp burns. I was refunded, but My hair looked and felt so much healthier before I encountered the hair colorists. The girl who cut my hair Dora did a good job. The colorist over processed my hair. I have never been through so much pain with my hair in my entire life. My hair was my favorite thing People would say you have such beautiful hair before I went to the salon. now people tell me it looks bad. I never imagined the destruction a hair colorist could do I trusted that she would make my hair look and feel awesome. I'm glad i have thick hair, if I did not I would have been even more devastated. Now I have to cope with having thinner hair a burning scalp, and hair that looks so dried out. Michelle was the name of the colorist just to help anyone from avoiding my devastating experience.

5 Stars: Everything an NYC salon should be... (by MaryOughtSix)

MaryOughtSix — Mon, 08 Dec 2008 01:00:00 GMT

It has been just over two weeks since my appointment and the happiness and satisfaction I felt with the services have not wavered in the least! I started my Roy Teeluck experience with phenomenal colorist, Abby Haliti and a fresh frothy cappuccino from a sweet assistant. Originally there for a color gloss, Abby listened to what I was looking for and we decided to include face framing highlights using the French method, balayage. The results were rich and rootless. Next, Ali Ozel took his magic scissors to my newly glossed coiffure. My hair has been growing out for two years with intermittent trims and is longer now than ever before; I liked the way the length was looking, but it needed shape and style. It was fantastic to watch Ali's swift, confident precision in snipping the ends, exacting the angles, and creating layers that still looked long, but framed my face in a way that I'll be back for come next trim - and the next, etc. Not to mention that Ali's smile and manner are completely endearing. Next, Duffy took on my eyebrows. I'd read about Duffy prior to my appointment and had let my brows go wild for her. Good move on my part, as Duffy is a true brow specialist. The face is her garden and she loves to tend it. I recommend Duffy for anyone with "project brows." Finally Edith Matsis did my manicure. This manicure was a bonus provided by the salon for my first-time client status and variety of other services. Edith was very knowledgeable about nails, nail beds, skin, cuticles, and types of polish. All in all, I was treated to a day of beauty experts and I would recommend each individual and the salon itself highly. After bouncing from NYC salon to salon looking for my favorite fit, it is finally found and all at one stop. Hallelujah.

NataliaLescu — Sun, 07 Dec 2008 01:00:00 GMT

It took me four years to find a colorist who actually knew what he/she was doing. I eventually found Sandra at the Roy Teeluck Salon. She proved to me that you don't need to be a star to deserve royal treatment and fabulous hair. I think every woman deserves to be spoiled once in a while, and Roy Teeluck's salon is a great choice. And for divine hair color look for Sandra!

5 Stars: DEFINITELY Go see Gabriel! (by Carolyn9246)

Carolyn9246 — Sun, 07 Dec 2008 01:00:00 GMT

So Roy Teeluck Salon is where I will get my hair done from now on. It was a great experience and an awesome first time. I really wanted to cut my hair really short and I was so sick of my long hair that I just decided to go anywhere. I found Roy Teeluck online and it had got really good reviews, it was open till late, it was very affordable. I couldn't go wrong. I got my hair done by GABRIEL.. He was great, friendly, funny, and knew exactly what I wanted. My haircut came out awesome. He completely boosted up my selfisteam and I felt really good about myself. All I get now are great compliments about my "new do". Thanks GABRIEL!!!

5 Stars: Amazing Salon! (by Danielle411)

Danielle411 — Thu, 04 Dec 2008 01:00:00 GMT

I thought I would treat myself to a first-class salon experience on a recent trip to NYC. I could not have been more pleased. I was ready for such a high-caliber of salon to be pretentious but it was quite the opposite! The entire staff was extremely friendly and made me feel like I had been a life-long customer. I felt immediately at ease and enjoyed every minute of my pampering!! Antoine is an amazing stylist and I felt his experience and talent left me feeling and looking like a queen! Although I live in Ohio, I will make the trip to and spend the well worth $$ to have this experience again and again.

5 Stars: Andre-Davis--Best hair extensions/cut!! (by Zeyna)

Zeyna — Wed, 03 Dec 2008 01:00:00 GMT

My hair was completely burned out and ruined on a shoot and I was desperate to fix it. I went to a salon I won't name for a cut and was given a bob to correct it. The bob was a disaster. Someone at my agency recommended Andre Davis, who has worked in fashion and film for years. He is a master! He corrected the cut, but we agreed that it was not a great look for me. I was sweating because in a few days I was going up for a beauty job for a major campaign. He suggested hair extensions. He custom ordered hair and after a day, and a few hours of work, I walked out of the salon with a full head of shoulder length hair, cut to perfection! It looked great!!!! I have always laughed at hair weaves, but I can see that I was arrogant, because these extensions saved my life and banked me some money! They don't show any lumps or bumps or that weird separation you see on too many heads. Andre is a MASTER. The salon is really nice--very comfortable and low key with great drinks and service. There was a major celebrity there at the same time and I liked how cool everyone was. It's definitely a place to get star treatment without any pretense!

5 Stars: Antoine is great (by brandylynnc)

brandylynnc — Tue, 02 Dec 2008 01:00:00 GMT

Antoine is really great. He has a pre shampoo chat with you. He REALLY listens, and puts a lot of things into consideration.... what will look good on you, how you wear it daily. He did a fantastic job. Everybody was sweet: Antoine, his assistant, the receptionist checking in. One note, the lady who checked me out, wasn't friendly. Maybe she had a bad day, and she really stood out because everybody else was so nice.

5 Stars: I LOVE my haircut! (by karen999)

karen999 — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 01:00:00 GMT

I was in search for a hair salon once I got into NYC. I found this site which had tons of positive reviews for Roy Teeluck Salon so I called to schedule an appointment. It was my first time there and I have to say everyone were very nice and polite. Antoine was very professional and spent some time talking about my hair and what I would like. He showed me some different hair styles that would like nice on me. I was up to anything. I was tired of my long hair and I had to get a new look. I had over 15 inches of hair to donate to Locks of Love. I LOVE my haircut!!! It's quite easy to do if I wanted to jazz it up or just wash and go. I will have to make time to get my haircut with Antoine instead of the local DC salons. Lastly, when I checked out, the bill was half the price due to the Locks of Love and I was not expecting this. What a nice surprise! Thanks Antoine, Roy, and everyone else at the Salon!

5 Stars: Best Haircut! (by Samdark)

Samdark — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 01:00:00 GMT

I just went to the Roy Teeluck salon and can't rave enough about the place. I had a haircut with Gabrielle, who not only was super professional, but the cut was the best I've had in years. He's also amazing at blow-drying and my style lasted for a few days! The other staff members were amazing also, from the wash and head massage, to the person serving my champagne, I could not have been treated better. Excellent service, top-notch treatments and cuts, and a cool staff to boot, definitely 5 stars!!!!

5 Stars: BEST HAIRCUT OF MY LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (by cordirey)

cordirey — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 01:00:00 GMT

For my birthday my boyfriend surprised me with a new haircut at Roy Teeluck salon with his friend and the man who's been cutting his hair for years, Tim! It was my first time to the salon and I have to say everyone there could not have been nicer. Tim was so wonderful. It was obvious that this is a man who is passionate about hair. He was very good about asking about what my hair had been through and what I was looking. I find it rare when you have a hairdresser really listen to you and then deliver exactly what you want. Well Tim gave me what I wanted and so much more!!!! I LOVE my haircut. Its young and modern and just works with the hair I have. I also have to say the ladies doing my nails and eyebrowns were equally sweet and did their job to perfection. I would recomend this place to anyone who is looking for a salon where you know you can relax because you're in good hands.

5 Stars: Simply the Best- Ali is Sheer Genius! (by denisemut)

denisemut — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 01:00:00 GMT

Ali is the best! I've gotten an amazing haircut today with Ali. I've been to other salons in NYC and Brooklyn and needless to say, I have walked out in total dissapointment. I had my faith in Ali as he miraculously cut and shaped my hair into a very modern yet sophisticated hair style. He is an absolute perfectionist. He listens to you and gives you honest feedback and goes to work to create a masterpiece that suits you. I never knew what type of hairstyle looked good on me but Ali gave me pointers on the type of style that would work best for my face and gave me tips on how to blow-dry hair so you can get that salon look every time.
The salon is great. Everytone is extremely nice and catering to your needs.

I am definitely coming back as I have finally found a sheer genius at work! Thank you Ali!

5 Stars: Antoine is GRRRREAT!! (by Ana10465)

Ana10465 — Fri, 31 Oct 2008 02:00:00 GMT

I cut my hair short nearly 5 years ago thru a hair modeling class which was fantastic, but b/c it was a class I never saw that particular stylists again and there began my quest for the same style cut...It's been 5 years! A couple cuts came close but not close enough to make me go "Wow - I LOVE this cut!" Not until last night when I had the pleasure of walking into the NOT pretentious at all Roy Teeluck Salon and consulted with Antoine who patiently listened to what I wanted and the painful trials and tribulations I'd gone thru trying to get it. He told me how he would start cutting and how he would approach the style I wanted and I felt at ease b/c he knew exactly what I was talking about! My fine hair is tough, I know and cutting with a razor requires real skill - I've learned, but Antoine was a complete professional with both and I have the syle I've been longingly searching for the last few years. Everyone I encountered at the salon was easy going and friendly from the receptionist to Lexi who washed my hair. I expected that underlying hint of snobbishness you get from some places but it just wasn't there. I LOVE this place and I'm definitely going back!

5 Stars: Fabulous Haircut by the Amazing Antoine! (by CFW05)

CFW05 — Thu, 30 Oct 2008 02:00:00 GMT

I moved to Manhattan last spring and went to get my hair cut with Antoine at the Roy Teeluck Salon... and have been thrilled to become a loyal return client. My first visit Antoine devoted his full attention to creating a haircut that suited not only my face and hair texture, but also my lifestyle. It was the first time I felt that a hairdresser really listened to me. The result is a very stylish short cut that feels very me but also makes me feel at ease in a such a style-conscious city. Each appointment I have had since with Antoine has been a great experience, and he is always wonderfully consistent and gives my 'do a special tweak and a polish. I feel very confidant that Antoine will magic up another fabulous look for me when I feel like it -- but for now, I am thrilled with my chic hairstyle, and can't imagine changing it. Antoine is hugely talented as a hairdresser and as a communicator. Add into the mix that he is a truly grounded individual and just a really nice guy -- now that's a receipe for a happy client!

5 Stars: Great haircut (by Hartfordite)

Hartfordite — Mon, 20 Oct 2008 02:00:00 GMT

I had been going to the same hairdresser in the Hartford area for a number of years, but I decided to "splurge" on a haircut. What a delight! The salon was smaller than I had expected, but the haircut and style were fantastic. I didn't realize how bad my haircuts were until Enzo showed me the uneven layers. Even my friends and family noticed the difference! So - I am a devotee and have a follow-up appointment!

5 Stars: fantastic hair extensions and cut by andre! (by politiclothesgal)

politiclothesgal — Tue, 30 Sep 2008 02:00:00 GMT

earlier this month i decided to take the plunge and get hair extensions. i've had a short bob for years, but was sick of seeing the same cut everywhere --- ended up growing it out to a mid-length bob and went to roy teeluck to get hair extensions. i'm so glad that i did! first, andre spend a good amount of time with me during the free consultation to figure out exactly what i wanted out of my hair extensions. i went back a few days later after he bought the real-hair extensions and he put them in. the process was pretty long (about 2 1/2 hours), but andre was a pleasure to chat with throughout the entire experience. he did a top-notch job putting them in. before getting the process done myself i'd heard how painful it can be. maybe i have a tough scalp, but i didn't think it was that bad. my scalp did hurt for 2 - 3 days after i got the extensions, but that's not due to the stylist --- it just takes a bit for your head to get used to them. andre cut the extensions before i left, but invited me to come back in a few days once i got used to the extensions for a complementary follow-up appointment. i'm so glad i did! after having the extensions for a few days, i had more direction as to what i wanted them to look like. andre cut and styled my head accordingly and made me into a bombshell! : ) i had a friend's wedding and class reunion that weekend and heard nothing but rave reviews for days. i LOVE my extensions and plan on keeping them in for awhile --- already looking forward to going into the salon next month to get them tightened (again, complementary). the extensions are expensive, but on par with any other salon that offers quality real-hair extensions. i think they were worth every penny. the salon was great, everyone was terribly nice, and andre is such a blessing! highly recommended.

5 Stars: Fantastic update to my bob (by millercy)

millercy — Mon, 22 Sep 2008 02:00:00 GMT

I'll admit it. I like getting a nice haricut, but I tend to be a little conservative (due to job). I wanted to update my bob without looking silly (am over 40). Andre did a fantastic job. The sevice was very friendly, but not too gossipy. I literally went out that night and everyone gasped at how fabulous my hair looked. A stranger on the street even asked me where I got it done. Bravo Andre!!

5 Stars: JUST DO IT (by kittymcfizz)

kittymcfizz — Sat, 20 Sep 2008 02:00:00 GMT

I went to Roy Teeluck for balayage highlights (hair painting technique that is foil-free) and a cut. When I came in, I was immediately greeted, shown to my chair and given a menu of free beverages (I went with iced coffee and water with lemon). The colorist (Abby) and her assistant greeted me and gave me a quick consultation followed by my quick cut consultation with my stylist (Dora). I told them what I wanted and within minutes Abby was working away on my highlights. The interesting thing about the balayage technique at Roy Teeluck is that they do it in sections to make it look more naturally sun-kissed. My blond highlights are AMAZING and I couldn't be happier. Five stars for Abby! I also got a free manicure because I was a first time customer, which was simple but good.

I then went over to Dora, who didn't talk much but did her thing. I trimmed up my bob but she suggested a slightly angled cut to add a slight edge and some texture and trimmed my bangs up in a different style. Great job. I walked out of that place not only feeling and looking great, but thinking that I had never in my life had such great customer service at a salon. Just go...you won't regret it!

5 Stars: Truly great (by sheep2duck)

sheep2duck — Sat, 13 Sep 2008 02:00:00 GMT

This place really does live up to all of these glowing reviews. I don't normally like to spend that much on my hair. I was skeptical that a "quality salon" would seem worth it to me and thrifty mentality. But, this place is great ... friendly, accommodating, time efficient -- great customer service, and not pretentious. Abby made my highlights look so natural, and listened to all of my concerns. I never thought a certain cut would make that much of a difference with my curly, long, layered hair ... but it has never looked better. Dora was quick, confident , and truly did wonders. I am a complete convert. Not only will I return, but I have already recommended them to all of my friends.

5 Stars: Best Color (by JenniferNizolek)

JenniferNizolek — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 02:00:00 GMT

I went there for the first time with a head of yellowish blonde hair. Russ Hovermale did my color and it came out way beyond anything I could have expected. The color was a perfect, natural looking blonde and after 2 and a half months it still looked just as natural. I have gotten my hair done since at a new place closer to home and I was completely dissatisfied. I would spend any price for the services at Roy Teeluck Salon.

5 Stars: First visit, but NOT the last! (by KatyWat)

KatyWat — Wed, 27 Aug 2008 02:00:00 GMT

I went to Roy Teeluck Salon yesterday after reading the great reviews on CitySearch. I was frustrated with going to stylist after stylist in Manhattan who did not really understand how to cut naturally wavy hair, and so it was time to try a new place and stylist (my 6th!). And I am so glad I did. Nothing about the salon or people is pretentious--everything is pleasant and welcoming, with a very relaxing vibe. And ANTOINE is the greatest! He listened to what I wanted, made suggestions for making it even better, and gave me a great cut. And, he's a genuinely nice guy. As far as icing on the cake, when I got the bill, I had to ask the receptionist to repeat it because--given the terrific treatment I received at such an upscale salon--I was very pleasantly surprised.

5 Stars: ALI is AMAZING (by mmc275)

mmc275 — Thu, 21 Aug 2008 02:00:00 GMT

Just by saying a couple things about how I like to wear my hair, Ali gave me the perfect cut that I had actually been trying to explain to my other hairdresser for about 2 years. I hadn't had my hair highlighted since the beginning of may but the cut Ali gave me made my highlights pop so well that even Roy came over and asked me if I had just had my hair colored because it looked great. One of the assistants gave me the best blowout I have ever had that lasted so well that I didn't have to do much to go to a wedding the next day after I had slept on my hair and put it up etc. It just fell perfectly. The staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. Ny is a little bit of a trip for me but I will definitely be back to Ali!

5 Stars: Great Experience!!! (by val2211)

val2211 — Sun, 17 Aug 2008 02:00:00 GMT

Having been to Fekkai, Sally Herberger, John Barrett, etc - I was looking for a change. Did some research online and came across Roy Teeluck Salon. I was really impressed with the reviews, and even though I am always a bit skeptical, something told me to go for it. SO GLAD I DID!! Great experience throughout! Phone reservation was easy and they were polite - not on hold, not treating me like they doing me a big favor, etc. Got there and my stylist was Tim. He was right on time - a Saturday afternoon rarity - and such a super guy. He sat me down and talked to me about my hair - what I wanted, what i DIDNT want, how much time I spend on it, etc. I think the first time any stylist has actually taken the time to do that. It really helped because I knew we were both on the same page and I was SO HAPPY with my cut! He took time - no rush, he blowed dried it himself, and he was very genuine and really talented! I would not hesitate to recommend the salon - I even saw Roy there - and the staff is really polite and very customer oriented. LOVE IT! Tim is terrific!!

ejf3 — Fri, 08 Aug 2008 02:00:00 GMT

I moved back to NYC and needed to find a salon for my hair...for colour & cut. I found Roy Teeluck Salon on Citysearch and was impressed by all of the favourable reviews, so I went. I am very happy to say that all of the reviews were accurate! Michelle did my highlights and did a fabulous job, as well as she was friendly and personable. Most importantly she listened to me and corrected the highlights mishap I had experienced 2 months before at different NYC salon. Next, I was treated to a great haircut by Ali. He talked with me regarding my hair, the shape of my face and also listened to me while providing some good suggestions. He gave me a great haircut and was very friendly. I am definitely going back! And lastly, everyone in the salon was lovely, including Roy. He is charming and friendly and those traits are evident in his team of stylists and colourists. Thank you for a great experience and one I will welcome again!!

Please take it from me as my mother owned a salon for 16 years - I am super picky!!!

kkas — Tue, 29 Jul 2008 02:00:00 GMT

It had been over 5 months since I had gotten my naturally brown hair highlighted. Needless to say, I was in despearte need. It was my first time going to Roy Teeluck Salon and Michelle automatically knew exactly what would work well for me. My highlights turned out amazing and I love them. I honestly can not say I have never walked out of a salon so happy. Aside from the great color by Michelle and amazing blowout by Ali the rest of the staff was so nice and accomodating. I highly reccomend this salon and will be back there in a few weeks for a cut!

Tim took such good care of me - it was my first time donating hair to locks of love (great organization) as well as it being my first time to EVER have short hair in 31 years of being alive! needless to say, i was extremely nervous - could i pull off a short do? Tim made me feel so comfortable and beautiful by the time i left there - i was so excited to show anyone and everyone what he had made me look like - and the cut is so manageable - i thought for sure it would be a nightmare doing my wavy hair on my own - but Tim made sure that the incredible style he gave me would work for me. cheers to the Roy Teeluck Salon - i highly recommend it!

I made an appointment with Antoine at the Roy Teeluck Salon based on the great reviews on this site both for Antoine and the salon and it was definitely a good choice. I had my appointment just this past weekend. The salon is elegant but not pretentious, the receptionist was friendly and efficient. I met with Antoine just after checking in and we discussed what I wanted and he gave me his recommendations. Antoine definitely listened and took his time giving me a great hair cut. My hair now looks better than it has in a long time. In addition to being a great stylist he is also very personable. I will definitely return in a few months.

4 Stars: Who Ya Gonna Call? Red Busters! (by inmyexperience)

inmyexperience — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 02:00:00 GMT

Thank you Michelle and Alex! I went to the Roy Teeluck Salon to have my hair colored for my wedding. My highlights were growing out and I needed my ends touched up. I left with much darker hair than I expected- not what I requested. When I washed it for the first time, I noticed strong violet undertones!! I quickly called back and came in that afternoon. Michelle and Alex (who did not initially work on my color, but who fixed it) nurtured my tresses and soul all afternoon trying to get the color just right for the big day. They were the CSI of hair color, and by the time that I left my hair looked much better! It's still a little more red than I would like, but it's much better than purple! I was pleased that the salon stood behind their stylists and made the correction free of charge. Michelle even sent me home with a conditioner to keep the color in tact (complementary). I would definitely consider going back (especially to Michelle & Alex), but am still traumatized by the color mix up and worried about what it will be like as it grows out. eeekk!! Those two ladies made a very unpleasant experience much more bearable!
Thank you!

5 Stars: FABULOUS! (by Amanda8222)

Amanda8222 — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 02:00:00 GMT

Like many women, I have been seeing the same stylist for many years. I recently started a job in the city and needed a new styling salon to call home due to long hours and a commute. After looking through numerous websites of salons in midtown, I decided to call Roy Teeluck's. I read reviews and remembered the name from Bravo's tv show, Shear Genius. I thought I would call on the off chance that they had an appointment available or a cancellation for that afternoon. The receptionist was kind and helpful. He answered my questions, gave me some appointment options and welcomed me to the salon. When I arrived, the salon was inviting and bright. I was given a short tour of the salon and ask to sit for a few minutes. I was offered a beverage of my choice or something else that would make my visit more enjoyable. I declined, but most of the people in the salon were sipping on a drink or espresso. Soon, I was met by Tim who was going to style my hair. We discussed our options and we were in agreement. He listened to what I said and made thoughtful suggestions. I was sent to get my hair washed and I sat down in Tim's chair. He was professional, friendly and easy to talk to. By the time I realized it, my hair was finished and it looked FABULOUS! We were both very happy with the style. Tim sent me home with a complimentary bottle of volumizer and I was on my way. My hair was refreshed and I felt great. I would highly recommend this salon especially Tim. I cannot wait to go back for a trim. Hope this helps with your salon search. Happy Hunting!

5 Stars: Antonie is fantastic :) (by MandyL22)

MandyL22 — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 02:00:00 GMT

After having my haircut by the same woman for the majority of my life, I decided that I needed a change (not to mention I moved out of state). Based on the reviews from CitySearch, I booked an appointment with Antonie and it was the best choice I've made in a while.

The salon is small, and elegant without being too pretentious. Upon arriving I was offered a complementary beverage (I went with a delicious cappuccino) and Antonie took me over to his chair to discuss what I wanted. He really listened to what I had to say, and then gave me a few recommendations of what he thought based on my criteria (shoulder length, 'wash and go', will grow out nicely). After deciding what I wanted, he sent me to be washed.. the mini-head massage is a nice touch when they wash your hair.

Antonie really took his time cutting my hair, and was very meticulous about making sure it was even, etc. When he was done cutting, he showed me a few tricks with the blowdryer that I could use if I wanted a little fancier than 'wash and go'.

In the end, the cut was fantastic, and I couldn't be happier. I don't usually walk out of salons in a good mood, but this time I was nearly bouncing. Antoie also sent me off with two free products (yes, actually free). I will most definitely be coming back.

Also, just to clear up some confusions about people saying the reviews are 'fake' (As I was a bit concerned about that as well).. The receptionist does give you a card with directions on how to post a review on CitySearch.. that probably helps account for the high number of reviews here. Since I had such a fantastic experience, I was happy to come write a review :) (it's not something I do very often)

I went to Roy Teeluck because i had totally botched bangs (not to mention otherwise boring hair) that needed help. Ali definitely had his work cut out for him (no pun intended). he listened patiently, talked to me about what he was going to do, and then got to work. Not only do i love my new style, but everyone at the salon was friendly and helpful. i was completely at ease the whole time i was there. Ali is great (and pretty easy on the eyes;). Thanks!

I am extremely happy about my haircut and color from this salon. Service was excellent. The best I've had so far. I have gotten many compliments about my hair. This salon definately upholds it reputation.

5 Stars: Down-to-earth Sophistication and style at a reasonable price (by petgourmet)

petgourmet — Sun, 13 Jul 2008 02:00:00 GMT

For the past 10 years I have gone to the same hairstylist - a celebrity stylist - who as my friend, has styled my hair for free. This put any new stylist I might see in the unenviable position of filling the shoes of a legend - and making me willing to pay for it. Not an easy task. I chose Antoine of Roy Teeluck because of the rave reviews and for the reputation of excellent, creative work, coupled with a high quality salon experience without the fuss. I was not disappointed. I received the best haircut I've had in at least 4 years and walked out of the salon for the first time - maybe ever - liking not only the cut, but the styling (which I usually only like when I do it myself). From beginning to end, this was an amazing salon experience. Everyone was friendly without being saccharine - and they were willing to meet my every request (a sign they deal with many high maintenance types) though I am pretty low key. I was made a tastier iced cappuccino than I've had in Starbucks, and before I left, was given a goodie bag with full size products (that's plural!) Antoine felt would help my hair. Antoine himself could not have been more wonderful. Reassuring, calming, a good listener (to my hair wants) and a creative artist who took my lifestyle and face shape into consideration when developing my cut. Would it be outrageous to call him my hair soulmate? Perhaps.... but it sums up my sentiments. He has whole-heartedly won me over. And I wouldn't have been surprised to pay at least 3x what I did for such an experience.
The only negative? The manicurist. Unpersonable, sloppy and rushed - the only way I would pay her for her service would be if i was in a real bind for time and needed to do it at the same time as a haircut. For an excellent hair wash, scalp massage, iced cappuccino (with cinnamon) expert salon experience without the snootiness, reasonable pricing, and hairstylist soul mate experience - look no further. Hair utopia does exist.

5 Stars: Best Salon Experience Ever (by simonedb)

simonedb — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 02:00:00 GMT

Ok, seriously, I have NEVER written a review in my life for anything but I have to comment on this salon. I got my hair cut by Antoine and I am absolutely floored by him and the whole salon. The service from start to finish was amazing. I should premise this with the fact that I'm a Leo and thus, a very difficult hair client in any scenerio. The receptionist was super friendly but not in a patronizing way. The girl who washed my hair was really cool and down to earth (I'm sorry but I didnt get her name), and she gave a great head massage. So onto Antoine. He immediately put me at ease, which is no easy task as I am a control freak with my hair so the fact that he made me feel comfortable is saying a lot. He asked me what I wanted and then proceeding to explain step by step what he was going to do. When he started cutting I could tell that he was confident and skilled by the way he handled his scissors and my hair. He was very careful and precise but artful in the way he cut. The thing that stood out the most about him was the way that he talked about how people and their hair are so closely connected and that you tell a lot about someone by their hair. I wont go into the details but this was a man who was clearly born to practice the art of hairdressing. One thing that stood out was his comment that getting your hair cut takes team work and he puts a lot of effort into finding out about the person who's hair he is cutting, rather than just doing what he wants to do on that particular day or trying to follow the latest trend. The result was a beautifully done, classic cut that was perfectly suited to my face, my style and my life. The cost was $110 which was absolutely a bargain for what I got. Oh, almost forgot, Antoine gave me a free gift as I was leaving, at first i thought he was trying to sell me something but he just gave it to me! As if I needed another reason to love the place! Hats off to Antoine and the whole Roy Teeluck Salon staff.

5 Stars: Finally (by finallyfoundinny)

finallyfoundinny — Sat, 05 Jul 2008 02:00:00 GMT

Roani was my hair dresser and I am so pleased! I have been going to a salon in Boston and finally was brave enough to try a new place in New York (I've been here 2 years now). She gave me a gorgeous cut that was turning heads on the street for the rest of the day, and still looked great the next day at a wedding and through hours of dancing. Not only was it great styled, but it also looked good for the following week while I was traveling and hiking and styling consisted of running my fingers through my hair after a rainstorm. I was hesitant to try someone new who I knew nothing about, but I will definitely go back to her.

5 Stars: Best hair color and hair cut! (by SilviaBedin)

SilviaBedin — Sat, 05 Jul 2008 02:00:00 GMT

I have received the best hair care ever. Ali studied the shape of my face and gave me the best looking hair cut to enhance my facial features. Michelle fixed my hair color to go along with my skin complexion, she did an amazing job with few highlights and lowlights everything in just one visit. I would not go anywhere else for my hair.

I love Ali. For almost 6 yrs I' ve been going to Devachan in soho NYC. I loved my stylist but I thought the customer service and quality had deteriorated quite a lot.Firstly , the staff isn't very cordial .Secondly, I did not like the fact that the senior stylists use a junior person to blowdry the hair of their customers .I found Ali on city search and after reading some great reviews about him I mad an appt. From the receptionist to Ali ,everyone is very welcoming .Ali especially is very professional ,detail oriented passionate and very good at what he does.I love the haircuts hes given me since and HIGHLY recommend him to everyone.A+

NEW WAVE BALYAGE

I went to Michele at Roy Teeluck last week to fix my highlights no one could seem to make them bright enough. Michele sat down with me and talked to me about baylage how my roots would not grow in so heavy and she could make her favorite color young girl blonde. She painted away and before I knew it Alex was giving me a amazing shampoo . I went of to Antoine for my blowdry and I was amazed how my blond looked. It has the best I ever had. Baylage it's the new wave of highlights I will never foil again.

5 Stars: Choosey Blonde Chooses Roy Teeluck (by KM25)

KM25 — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 02:00:00 GMT

As someone who is very very particular about the way my hair is both cut and colored, it means a great deal when I say I have never been more pleased with the way my hair looks. I had my highlights done by Russ, who, besides being an exemplary colorist, is also lovely company! Not only was my color what I would consider to be the best shade of blonde for me, it could not have been more seemless and natural. If you want streaks, find another salon.
After having my hair washed and deep conditioned by Liza, who was also wonderful, my hair was cut and styled by Ali. He convinced me to try a new style that would better frame my face, and as he began blowdrying, I got giddy. The finished product was absolutely fantastic, and I couldn't wait to show it off to my friends.
Besides being thrilled with my hair, the overall experience was delightful. I had my nails done while my highlights were setting too, so I left really feeling like a million bucks.
It goes without saying that Russ and Ali are my new hair team, and I encourage anyone to make an appointment with them!!

Butterblonde — Fri, 27 Jun 2008 02:00:00 GMT

My most recent visit to Roy Teeluck Salon consisted of a relaxing atmosphere, friendly staff, delicious cappuccino, and beautiful color! Abby, the colorist is the best! I go to her for highlights and a single process. The reason why I love her work so much is because she has a very unique style. She works with my natural texture and sees where my hair falls. She picks pieces up and hand paints the color on, the result is always so natural and beautiful! I get complimented on my hair all the time and I can go longer without retouching! Goodbye FOILS Hello BALAYAGE ,Abby treats each client as someone special. Her manners and decorum are of the utmost professionalism.I missed a haircut but i will try next time ,Abby will recomend you a stylist to while talking about color so im happy :)THanks a lot for making me beatifull blonde :)))))))

I went to the Roy Teeluck Salon after I saw a friend of mine and thought her hair cut looked great. She told me that she found this new French hair stylist, Antoine. I didn't wait to make an appointment with him and I could not be happier with my hair. Antoine rebalanced my layers and gave me a beautiful soft haircut, so easy to style myself! It was all I was hoping for and he is truly talented and very personable. The salon has great atmosphere, a fantastic find!!!

stephlny78 — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 02:00:00 GMT

After jumping around from different stylists and salons (Bumble & Bumble, Toni & Guy, Nubest, and countless others over the years) I finally found Russ. He's been doing my color for years now and I must say that I am always impressed. He is absolutely the best, he can really achieve the most dimensional hair color. He's taken me from blond, to brown, and back to blond again numerous times. I've gotten so many compliments on my hair over the years and I really owe this guy. He's very talented and is very good at recommending what would work best on your hair and he knows the products that he works with. This salon is a really nice relaxing environment and the location is convenient with top-notch service.

I have been trying to get a short, fun 'do for a while and haven't been able to find anyone i'm comfortable with. But Tim Johnson really took the time to get to know me, figure out what i wanted out of a haircut and then just made it happen. I came out of there feeling brand new with a new spring in my step. He created a funky, fun, spunky hairdo that really was exactly what i wanted. i will definitely be returning.

5 Stars: A pro who really listens (by AnnaMaria2008)

AnnaMaria2008 — Sat, 21 Jun 2008 02:00:00 GMT

Enzo Agostino does an excellent job of cutting and styling my thick wavy hair.

He really listens to what you tell him about your likes and dislikes.

And he takes the time to cut my hair just right.

I'm been a client of Enzo's for the last six years or so, following him to Federico's, Cornelia's day spa, and now to Roy Teeluck.

At Roy Teeluck, the staff is pleasant and knows what it's doing. They're pros all the way.

5 Stars: Best hair dresser. (by Liberte)

Liberte — Sat, 21 Jun 2008 02:00:00 GMT

I moved to NY from Europe 14 years ago, and my biggest problem was Ive tried more than a dozen hair dressers for cut. And not once did I stick with one, because I wasnt satisfied. I dont really color my hair I only do balyaj once every 2 years, and thats when I go back to Europe because I didnt trust anyone here...then someone recommended Ali to me, and I tried him, and I am telling I have never been happier. He is absolutely amazing, for the first time someone did my hair the way I wanted it. I wanted Gisele Bundchen's hair color, and I told him to not cut too much but give me a nice hair cut without touching the length...and I was so nervous because of my experiences before, and because I really dont color my hair. And balyaj is a very natural look, like its from the sun. He also put glaze which gave it a nice shine, then he did this amazing blowdry. I am so incredibly happy that I found him..not only that but he made the whole salon experience so much fun, they have a wine menu, I had a glass of white wine while I was there. If you need any hair service at all Ali is the perfect hair dresser Ive experienced in my whole life.

5 Stars: Best Highlights in New York! (by VanessaCB)

VanessaCB — Wed, 18 Jun 2008 02:00:00 GMT

I had the best experience at Roy Teeluck Salon. I met Abby about 3 months ago, she was referred to me through a friend. I initially went into the salon to get highlights. When she saw my hair she thought that it would be best if she did a glaze instead to make the highlights that i already had on my head a bit more neutral and less dramatic. So I went for the glaze. After the glaze Abby mentioned that if i wanted, i could come back in a few months to get highlights from her. I waited less than a month before I went back. I went back a few weeks ago and Abby created beautiful and subtle surfer highlights on my hair. They look very natural and I'm so happy with them. Abby is an amazing colorist and I would recommend her to anyone!

5 Stars: Best Hair Experience in NYC (by jennstar85)

jennstar85 — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 02:00:00 GMT

Roy Teeluck was the most enjoyable salon experience in New York City. After living in the city for almost 4 years, I've tried at least a half dozen salons and never been satisfied. After visiting Roy Teeluck, I will never go anywhere else. The salon is trendy, but not stuffy. The staff was very personable and ready to please. I started off my day with balayage highlights with Abby. The balayage highlights are well worth the experience alone! They look absolutely gorgeous, totally natural, and with Abby's expertise, the highlights grow out naturally leaving no root line around the scalp. 2 months after my first appointment, the color still looked great, and like I said, no roots! If you're looking for the best balayage highlights in the city, go see ABBY! You will never do foils again. I waited about 15 minutes before my haircut with Ali so they gave me a complimentary deep conditioning treatment worth $50. Can't beat that service. After that, I met with Ali who cut my hair so precisely, i thought I was working with not only an artist but a magician. He styled my hair in a cute Heidi Klum-like style with blunt bangs. My hair is so low maintenance these days to style in the morning and looks great even with a simple blow-dry and no curling irons or straightening iron needed. No fly-aways or awkward strands that just don't lay right. I've gotten more compliments on my hair cut and color than I ever have in my life. I returned two weeks later for a free bangs trim, and Ali had me looking hot and ready for my night out on the town free of charge just minutes after i arrived. I've recommended Abby and Ali to several friends and everyone just raves about them. If you're looking to change your hairstyle and your life, you must see these two at Roy Teeluck.

5 Stars: Amazing! (by cduman)

cduman — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 02:00:00 GMT

Would recommed Roy Teeluck to everyone who wants to have a truly amazing hair experience. Please ask for ALI OZEL - I can assure you that you will not be disappointed. After many years of disappointing hair experiences in New York and Chicago, I'm very luck to have finally found him. He gave me an excellent hair cut - modern and easy to use. Not only this, he colored my hair and did highlights - I loved it and so did everybody. Just go there and leave yourself in the talented hands of Ali and be ready to be transformed!

5 Stars: Highlight of my vacation (by stephaniegroom)

stephaniegroom — Fri, 13 Jun 2008 02:00:00 GMT

I was visiting my aunt in Boston and decided to take a 3 day trip into New York. I decided while there to get a new style hair cut. After researching different salons I called Roy's on Tuesday and they scheduled me for an appointment on Thursday with Antoinne. I am very fussy about my hair and it had just gotten to a point where I was in a rut so I went with a very open mind and trusted him to do what he thought would look best. I am so glad I did. To me Antoinne is more than a stylist he is an artist. He not only gave me a wonderful new style he actually told me where I was going wrong with my hair and what I needed to do in the future and what my stylist back home needed to do. It was seriously the highlight of my vacation. Everyone was wonderful and made me feel at ease. Antoinne was seriosly amazing and I cannot say enough good things about the entire staff at Roy Teeluck's salon. People have not quit complimenting me on my hair now that I am home and it is so fun to tell them I got it done at a salon in NY by an amazing stylist and staff. I hope Antoinne and the staff read the reviews on here so they really know how much I enjoyed the experience and I am sorry I forgot the person's name that shampooed me. I believe it was Marisol and the receptionist who helped me. The only downfall was I couldn't pack Antoinne in my suitcase and bring him home but I will be back to New York and I will look him up for another amazing cut.

What can I say; it feels great to turn heads on the street when I leave Roy's place. And all staff is very friendly, professional and helpful. Great service. And Roy's artistic creavity + his personality = BEST HAIR SALON IN NYC.

realtorjen — Sat, 31 May 2008 02:00:00 GMT

Wow!!! You have to try this salon. I went there yesterday for a haircut with Antoine, and he did an amazing job. He spent so much time with me and helped me come up with a plan I have always wanted for my hair. This was my 2nd time to the salon. The first time I saw Roy and was blown away by his talent, and awesome personality. This is completely worth the price, and any travel time!! I live in CT, but would travel much further to have my hair done at Roy Teeluck.

Everyone that works there is so friendly and accomodating, which is very rare at such an upscale salon. You will never get a better haircut anywhere else in the city. Whenever I leave, people are staring on the streets of NYC, and asking me where I get my hair done.

Truly the best thing I have ever done for myself.

mayrr — Tue, 27 May 2008 02:00:00 GMT

On Saturday I drove from Albany for a haircut appointment with Ali. Ali totally transformed my hair. For the first time in my life I can blowdry my hair without a brush and every hair simply falls into place. If I use a brush my hair is smooth and perfectly proportioned. Ali took 10 years off of my appearance, no lie! The price is reasonable in fact it is less than I have been paying for the past 11 years in NYC. Ali and the rest of the staff are so sweet and sincere. They go out of their way to give you a great salon experience. Marisol shampooed my hair and she must be a masseuse, that certainly was more than a shampoo. I am so happy I searched Citysearch for a recommendation.

5 Stars: Very satisfied!!!! (by cdrada)

cdrada — Thu, 22 May 2008 02:00:00 GMT

This past weekend I decided to get my haircut at this salon and it was a great experience. The staff was super nice and actually paid attention to you. I entered the salon and was greated by a nice gentleman who took my information and asked if I wanted anything to drink and I was brought me some yummy tea, as per my request (so many varietiesof tea). Then I got my hair washed and she not only washed my hair but gave me a great temple massage. Talk about going the extra step. Then I met Antoine my stylist and he did an amazing job on my hair.My only request was that he try to leave it long because I love long hair but to cut off the unhealthy portion and that is exactly what he did. When I saw my boyfriend he gave me so many compliments on my hair. I was even sent off with some free samples. Really nice experience and I would recommend this place to anyone. One more thing... the price was fair.

5 Stars: Amazing Stylist! (by davidgomez)

davidgomez — Wed, 21 May 2008 02:00:00 GMT

Over the years I've had many top NY stylists cut my hair and while I've had many good cuts I've never had an amazing cut. Until now. Twice, actually!
Antoine Brechu is a truly gifted artist. If you are looking for a hair stylist who will pick a cut that compliments your face shape and personal style perfectly, then Antoine is your man!
He consults with you beforehand, takes his time to assess your hair texture and listens to your needs. Once he starts cutting your hair you know you are in the hands of a master. Antoine has the rare ability to really make you look your best!
I can't recommend him highly enough...he is meticulous, careful, patient and creative!
Go to him once and you'll never want anyone else to cut your hair!!
Everyone at the Roy Teeluck salon is very pleasant...

5 Stars: Great service, great atmosphere, best hair cut and highlights - - worth every penny and more! (by LeslieLAH)

LeslieLAH — Wed, 14 May 2008 02:00:00 GMT

I was a first timer last Saturday at the Roy Teeluck salon - - at the end of my hair cut and highlights I was so happy I almost couldn't speak. Abby did an incredible job with my highlights...I wanted them natural...she used a method called "hair painting"..better for your hair...loved the results and would do it again in heartbeat - - and would go back to Abby without a second thought. lLiza worked with Abby to finalize my highlights - again, lovely, professional people all around. Ali did my hair cut...and...it has been a long time since I had such a great cut that it ACTUALLY looks as good when i now have to do it myself. He listened to what i wanted - - gave me exaclty what i asked for - - BUT FAR BETTER. I wanted to wait to write a review until i spent a few days with the cut to see how I could manage it. It's almost as if the cut is so perfect, I don't even have to do anything. In any case, from the first person that greets you when you come off the elevator, to the woman taking great care of your stuff, even seeing Roy's smiling face walking around talking with people - this salon is first class and I am now hooked. Just want to say thank you for such a great experience. I would recommend the Roy Teeluck to all my friends and anyone that asked!

I used to go to a really pricey salon on lexington, but i was never happy with the job they did on my hair. I would ask for something and the stylist would just do what they thought was best. I came to Roy Teeluck and the service was amazing! I think I was asked if I wanted something, like a drink or a magazine, about ten times. I told Dora what I wanted to have done, which I had told to my usual stylist forever, and she did it! At first I was confused as to what she was doing, but my hair came out looking like a masterpiece and exactly what I wanted. She really understands what you want and howto get it done. I love this salon and I am definately coming back.

5 Stars: Best Upscale cut with a down to earth attitude! (by SansanFibri)

SansanFibri — Wed, 07 May 2008 02:00:00 GMT

My hair is UNMANAGABLE, and after years of processing, my ends are always in bad condition. I came to Antoine with the impossible mission of saving my ends and shaping without losing the length. I always ask for this and it NEVER happens, my hair always ends up too short...ANTOINE has SUCCEEDED in this MISSION IMPOSSIBLE: He shaped and got rid of split ends while leaving the hair long enough to barely notice a difference in length, only it's healthier and more shapely!
The Salon has a great upscale service and quality yet there is no stiffness here, but rather a casual friendly, questions and concerns inviting attitude.
A MUST TRY!!

I'm a longtime client of Antoine's and since I started going to him I've had consistently fabulous hair-- he gives me a stunning short crop that suits me to to a T- no fuss and feminine. I just love it and I get comments about my 'do all the time... I should also mention that my hair is super difficult to cut well - it's fine and very straight, and the kicker is my cowlick, and I've basically suffered with it my entire life-- until ANTOINE! The way he listens is amazing and he somehow just KNOWS how to give hair a great look that suits not only the face that goes with it but also the hair texture. In my experience with Antoine, these are cuts that work and last fantastically and make me feel great -- 100% satisfaction every time. Antoine is an absolute gem and I'm so pleased to go and see him at the wonderful Roy Teeluck Salon. I highly recommend him as an immensely talented hair stylist!

5 Stars: positive experience from a-z (by sonvan)

sonvan — Tue, 06 May 2008 02:00:00 GMT

never wrote a review before but have to share that i just had the most positive experience at roy teeluck salon. i headed to roy's after reading all of the good reviews on citysearch and i am happy that i did. everyone, and i mean every one was just so pleasant and approachable. i was a little nervous about my color (given past experiences at other places), but Michelle put me completely at ease and gave me the best highlights ever (her assistant, Liza, was also just a doll)...and Ali gave me a wonderful, age-appropriate, but still current haircut. they both talked me thru every step and seemed interest in my input. right now, i am feeling like i've finally found a salon to call home.

5 Stars: Salon Owner Loves Her New Haircut (by scasale)

scasale — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 02:00:00 GMT

Being a salon owner in the Boston area I love to explore the industry by visiting other salons and having services done while I'm there. I am always open minded and do my research so that I visit only top rated salons. I found Roy's salon highly recommended by CitySearch and decided to give it a try . This experience was FABULOUS! Roanni gave me an amazing haircut , precise and progressive and easy to style. The salon was welcoming and unpretentious but with an address that reminds you that you are working with the best. Great customer service with an impressive first time client consultation. Thanks Roanni.

5 Stars: Best Haircut I've Ever Had! (by babymelsmom)

babymelsmom — Fri, 25 Apr 2008 02:00:00 GMT

I am 51 years old and went to Ali in February on the basis of these reviews. I walked out with the best haircut I have ever gotten in my life. I just returned from my second visit to Ali and again walked out looking fabulous. I have had all sorts of people, including the men in my office, comment on how great I look which is especially nice for the ego at my age! Ali is not terribly talkative which is the way I like it, but on my first visit we discussed what I was looking for - something that would be attractive for a long face with a high forehead but also work with the cowlick in the middle of my forehead! Ali gave me bangs - which made me a little hesitant at first but then he showed me how to style them - and an incredibly stylish chin length bob. It is very easy to style and I think that Ali is a miracle worker! I also need to add that I live in Baltimore and wouldn't dream of having anyone except Ali cut my hair. I want to add, too, that Ali's chair is next to Duffy's chair and I watched her work. I was so impressed that I now have her do my eyebrows. Duffy is incredible - she has the softest touch in tweezing your eyebrows and knows just how to shape your brows to flatter your face.

5 Stars: BEST HAIRCUT AND SERVICE! ALI YOUR HANDS ARE MAGICAL (by lethalpink)

lethalpink — Fri, 11 Apr 2008 02:00:00 GMT

I waited a while to write my review because I feel a true mark of a good haircut is how great it looks even after your initial cut. Well it has been a month and let me just say I have not had one bad hair day since I got my tresses cut by the magical hands of Ali at Roy Teeluck. First of all I must give much admiration to the staff who is so cordial and accommodating,one always is under the impression that a place in the city will be uptight and pretentious, Roy Teeluck salon is not that by any means they are all friendly and warm. Now back to my haircut my sister went to this place first and I fell in love with her hair and she too never has a bad hair-day, it's just amazing how her and my hair looks better and better everyday and every time we style it. I had the pleasure of having Ali cut my hair and he is such a doll and a genius, he knew what went with my face and most of all was so excited about cutting my hair and along the way he gave me tips on how to get it looking salon worthy every time I do it at home and believe me I am not the talented team at Roy Teeluck but when I do my hair everyone thinks I just got it done. The techniques that Ali uses are ones I have never seen and his attention to the needs of your hair are spot-on. I have very thin hair and the way in which he cut it allows it to look so much more voluminous than it ever has. Mr. Teeluck himself even did a double take and took the time out to give me a compliment and that meant the world to me :) I can certainly go on forever about how happy I am with my hair but I urge anyone to please go to this salon for friendly staff, amazing service and more importantly the most rewarding, beautiful, lasting, head-turning, constantly complimented haircut you will ever have! If you are reading this Ali Zubeida and Zainab adore you !!!

Roy Teeluck and his friend Nancy really know what perfect hair can do for a girl. I met Nancy in LA through a celeb pal of mine. She said that i needed help with my hair, my overall look and that i could use an experience like no other,so she sent me to Nancy. When i told Nancy that i was heading for NY she said that if i wanted her color to really look it's best that i should see Mr Roy.Ok! So like a good girl i made contact with Roy in NY and got my hair cut. I look damn hot, i feel damn hot, and people are telling me i look damn hot. I am now a confident, hot looking career girl ready for anything. Now my celeb friendl is asking me for a referral to get a haircut. When i told her it was this guy Roy Teeluck who cut my hair she nearly fainted as she knew him back when he was in LA.So Mr, Teeluck, you're going to see an old friend very soon,when are you coming to LA next?

5 Stars: ALI IS THE BEST STYLIST EVER!!!! (by tiffeng)

tiffeng — Mon, 07 Apr 2008 02:00:00 GMT

You MUST get your haircut by ALI! Not only is he the friendliest stylist I've ever had, he's also the BEST! I have people stopping me on the street telling me how cute my haircut is and wondering where I get it cut- that has never happened to me before! I will NEVER get my haircut by anyone else. I feel gorgeous and it's all thanks to Ali :)

5 Stars: Just incredible. (by jenslocks)

jenslocks — Thu, 03 Apr 2008 02:00:00 GMT

Let me just start by saying that i will never go anywhere else again. At a time where people are careful of budgets and demand value for money i found this salon to exceed my expectations. First of all, do you know who Roy Teeluck is? It's amazing the array of work he has done during his long career, and he looks so young!.You can tell he has the respect of his staff, everyone who touched me from Enzo to Abby and the wonderful Marisol,what a shampoo that was. They all tell me that the salon they work in is moving very fast within the beauty biz! They didn't say much more than that other than that they believe this style and trend Roy has created will continue to please people who enjoy simply the best.

3 Stars: Overpriced (by Dior46)

Dior46 — Wed, 02 Apr 2008 02:00:00 GMT

Everyone there was extremely nice so that made the experience better. I had a cut and color here and it was only ok. The color was barely noticeable but I didn't want anything extreme so I guess that was my fault. The colorist was a bit immature and unprofessional, she cursed out one of her colleagues. The stylist was definitely better but still an average cut for a high price. I thought it would've been better since I asked for a senior stylist. The salon itself is very run down and unpleasing to the eye. I will not be returning to this salon.

5 Stars: Great experience and fabulous cut with Ronnie (by vedanta)

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

I had a great experience at this salon from my introduction through Roland who is a peach to all the staff. The atmosphere was warm and i felt excited to try something new. Roland recommended that Ronnie Castro cut my hair, and he chose the right person for me. She listened and then shared her ideas and off it went. I have loved my cut and it is growing so fast. I have no doubts that it will keep morphing into something beautiful so when i go back is entirely up to when i want to change it and reshape it again. Thanks!!!

4 Stars: Great customer service (by AupaAtleti)

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

I have gone 4-5 times to this Salon. Since I ?discovered? Ali, I always ask to make an appointment with him. He is very nice and courteous and does not speak much (which I personally really appreciate). He gives very nice haircuts; in fact I usually get a lot of compliments on my haircut from friends and acquaintances.

After my last haircut, I was still not happy with the way my hair looked so I decided to get some highlights to see if that would work better. I scheduled another appointment with Ali and I think now my hair looks just perfect. My natural hair is fairly blonde, so the highlights blended in wonderfully; they look really natural and go very well with my haircut. I am very satisfied with the overall experience and the quality of the service.

5 Stars: An A + for the Roy Teeluck Salon! (by emileejohn)

emileejohn — Tue, 01 Apr 2008 02:00:00 GMT

I love this salon! I?ve been a client for a few years and was a little nervous when both my colorist and stylist left. However, it was actually lucky for me in the end! Sometimes you get stuck in a ?hair-rut.? I?ve been freed with beautiful color by Abby and a great cut by Ali! I give this place an A+ for recommending Abby and Ali and will send all my friends their way!

I had a great experience here! I was welcomed with a glass of wine, received a wonderful head massage during my shampoo and my haircut with Dora was incredible. She really impressed me! And the best part is that I can blowdry and style it myself at home! I just can?t believe it!! She was really patient, listened carefully and actually gave me what I asked for. She is a sweetheart too! Bravo Dora ? you are a real find!

4 Stars: great experience but pricey (by mayabear)

mayabear — Mon, 31 Mar 2008 02:00:00 GMT

It was my first experience at a swanky salon but I was recommended this place by my friend so I decided to try it since I was going for a whole new style. I was nervous and not sure if the style I wanted would even look good on me. Ali was really nice and reassured me that the style I picked would suit me and that he would do a good job and that I didnt have to worry. He was right, he did a great job! I had a big party that night and everybody loved my new hairstyle. I love it too! The only reason I gave it 4 stars was because it is expensive. If you dont mind the slurge then this is a good place to go.

1 Stars: THE WORST.... ENZIO!!! DO NOT GO SEE HIM FOR HIGHLIGHTS!!!! (by dips89)

dips89 — Tue, 18 Mar 2008 02:00:00 GMT

I have been highlighting my hair for ten years and have been everywhere-but the worst job was done by Enzio. I said "pale and natural", I got huge streaks of yellow/brassy-trashy yellow that did not even go up to the root. When he was doing my hair I was a bit nervous because he was taking so much product and slapping it on my hair with no rhyme or reason.. well, some highlights start near my part, some start an inch down. I started crying, this is my hair. He did not see the problem, but everyone else working there who saw it, saw the problem. I am going back today for a color correction with Michelle so I will report back. The managers Jo and Keith were so great about understanding my pain and did not to tell me that my hair was not that bad or tell me that I was wrong. They told me that I could come back and see a senior stylist. It just stinks because I don't feel like sitting another two hours and damaging my hair more. Enzio should be doing color at super cuts, not here. If they want to keep their reputation as a great place to color, they need to take the foils out of his hands and only allow him to do cuts. He did give me a nice cut which he did dry before the color, I so wish I would have stopped there.

1 Stars: WORST HAIRCUT EVER!!!!!!!! (by helen_of_troy)

helen_of_troy — Tue, 18 Mar 2008 02:00:00 GMT

I said I wanted my hair cut trendy but please don't give me a mullet. THEY GAVE ME A MULLET!!!! I hate it!!!! Now I have to go get it redone, probably cut really short to take out all the layers in the back and pay $100+ more. Some previous reviewer said something about a "euro-shag" they gave her that made her look like Carol Brady. THAT'S WHAT THEY DID TO ME!!!!!! Too trendy and it's so ugly. Do not go unless you have VERY VERY specific instructions.

5 Stars: Great Service Great Cut! (by kgib1182)

kgib1182 — Mon, 17 Mar 2008 02:00:00 GMT

I travel from Boston to NY quite frequently and I was nervous about getting my long hair chopped off...I said I wanted the best so I looked up salons in City Search and decided to give Roy Teeluck a try...I made an appointment with Dora and it could not have been a better experience. The atmosphere was great, Dora was a sweetheart and my hair came out exactly as I had envisioned....Roy even made a comment to me about how he liked it.....I constantly get compliments...I have recommended Dora and Roy Teeluck to all my friends in NY and those who have also tried it out agree that it is the best NY has to offer! BTW Dora gives the most amazing blowout ever....it was unbelievable....I also watched Roy create a masterpeice while I was in the salon, he did a recreation of Posh Spice's hair like you can't even believe...when I saw this woman's hair I thought to myself if he can get her hair to look like Posh's he's a genius...I guess he's a genius...lol...seriously take my advice, this was the best money I have spent in a long time...definitely worth a try....Dora is the bomb =)

5 Stars: Definitely the Best Salon in NYC (by allysi)

allysi — Thu, 13 Mar 2008 02:00:00 GMT

I went for my first-ever appointment at Roy Teeluck and was beyond satisfied. I started with highlights by Abby, this was my first color ever (virgin hair I know!), the highlights came out so natural and I've received so many compliments. While having the color done, I also got a manicure by Gina; it lasted a full 2 weeks and looked amazing! Ali cut my hair and I have to say that he is simply fabulous; before my locks were limp and had no shape--he really gave me a style that I could work with and one that definitely made me feel glamourous! Duffy shaped my brows and did a terrific job as well (I just wish I had more time to go back so I can stick with the "brow beautification program"). Before I left they handed me a gift bag, which was a nice little surprise. By far this is the best salon in NYC--friendly customer service and a great staff that isn't a bit pretentious!

5 Stars: Roy Teeluck Salon Is A God-Send! (by citygirl486)

citygirl486 — Thu, 13 Mar 2008 02:00:00 GMT

Although you may be skeptical or wondering how a salon could receive so many amazing reviews, don't be! Roy Teeluck salon really IS that good. Please, take these reviews seriously and know that all of these people (including myself!) would not be taking the time to write them unless they felt passionately about this amazing establishment! Here is my Roy Teeluck success story...

I had an awful highlight/cut job done at another salon that was highly recommended on Citysearch. However, I now know that there is no substitution for the best, and I should have come to the #1 recommended Roy Teeluck Salon first! I was pretty upset when I called on the night of my horrible hair experience, but had an amazing and comforting conversation with one of the owners (he instantly lifted my mood and I knew I would be in good hands!). Not only did he help me by getting an appointment within a few days, but had clearly told the rest of the staff about my experience, because I was treated like a star by everyone there! The ENTIRE Roy Teeluck staff is warm and pleasant, and they are incredible well trained!

Abby is wonderful for color! She knows color and was able to transform my hair into a soft, natural blonde color which I have gotten many compliments on.

Roanni did my cut and is an absolute angel! I cannot say enough good things about this stylist. She shows careful thought and consideration when cutting your hair, and will take her time to make sure it turns out exactly so that you look your absolute best! I took the plunge and went from long straight hair to the angled bob and wouldn't have trusted anyone else to do it! GO SEE ROANNI!!

As far as the price - treat yourself. It is worth EVERY cent, and you will realize that once you walk out of Roy Teeluck with an amazing look and a smile because they will truly take care of you!

THANK YOU to the staff!!

4 Stars: Great Haircut by Tim (by EMZG)

EMZG — Tue, 11 Mar 2008 02:00:00 GMT

Since there were so many good reviews I decided to try this salon. I asked for a senior stylist and I made an appointment with Tim. He was great! First there was a consulation where he asked me what my thoughts were, if I was handy with my hair, did I want to keep the length..... After the haircut, as he was drying me hair, he tried it wavy and I liked it as change to the way I would normally wear it. As he blew it dry, he explained what he was doing so that I could follow it at home. He asked me who recommended the salon and told him I read the reviews on city search. When I left , he asked me if I was pleased and if so would I write a review. I am happy to do so. Just one thing- when I got home and looked up the reviews I noticed that some reviews mentioned a complimentary manicure. I called the salon and asked if they always offered he manicure. I was told yes and I explained it had not been offered to me. The receptionist immediately apologized and put a note in my record so that it would be offered to me at my next visit. As good as my hair looked when I left the salon, a greater compliment to Tim is that I have been able to style it myself and it still looks good.

If you go to Roy Teeluck Salon you will be pleasantly surprised at how crowded they are all the time. That might sound like a bad thing, but the service and staff are so pleasant and attentive you will feel like you are the only one there. Ali does a great cut and Abby does terrific color. I was very pleased and you will be too!

5 Stars: Best Highlights in NYC (by LoraBeth26)

LoraBeth26 — Sat, 01 Mar 2008 01:00:00 GMT

If you want the best highlights in New York City go see Ali Ozel at The Roy Teeluck Salon. He works fast but is very careful and detailed about his work. He always gets the highlights right to the root and the color is natural and gorgeous! He also gives amazing blow-outs and haircuts. I have been to every salon in Manhattan for highlights, even the most expensive and fancy places and I have found that Ali is the very best! Roy Teeluck is also a wonderful salon with the most attentive staff I have ever seen. It's not snooty but it is very nice and the best of the best.

Ali is simply the best amongst all if you are planning for a hair cut. I was very desperately looking for a salon which would give me a haircut that would perfectly suit my face. A friend suggest roy teeluck salon and I decided to give it a try... and thanks to my friend and Ali, I got a LOT of compliments for the hair cut and how perfectly it suited me and made me look lots younger. My hubby was stunned at the way I looked with this miracle Ali had worked with my hair!

I have decided to never ever go to any other salon but Roy Teeluck Salon. THANKS A LOT Ali !!!

5 Stars: ALI !!! he is simply the best! (by SandySamson)

SandySamson — Thu, 28 Feb 2008 01:00:00 GMT

I had straight long hair for many years. I decided to go for short hair with layers which they say gives a younger look and smarter look. I got the hair cut done in one of the many salons ( I do not wish to name it here) and that was the biggest blunder I committed. I looked much better initially with my straight long hair!! I literally cried as the new hair cut looked horrible . I felt like isolating myself and not even going out of the house. This is when Sally my sis, came to visit and she suggested Roy Teeluck Salon.. I felt horrified even by the thought of going to a salon! but I had no choice other than going to some good salon or sitting at home till my hair grew again. Roy Teeluck she said is costly, but worth every penny.. that gave me some courage and I finally booked an evening appointment and visited the salon.

The moment I entered there I was confident I had come to the right place. The atmosphere was so very comforting, the staff warm and convincing.They gave me a welcome free manicure which was great.. and ALI !!! he worked magic on my hair! He transformed the horrible haircut into a beautiful layer cut and left me looking SUPERB!!! WOW !! I am never ever going to forget that feeling and this is going to be THE salon for me permanently.. THANKS to you Ali and all at Roy Teeluck Salon!

4 Stars: The Best Service (by hazeyJ)

hazeyJ — Thu, 28 Feb 2008 01:00:00 GMT

I am sorry to read a bad review about Ali because my experience was the complete opposite. I went to this salon with a tired old look and pretty much let Ali do whatever. He gave me a great cut, the best in years. So good that I've been back to him several times now and am happy with the results every time. I felt like he listened to me, answered my needs and was also incredibly fast! The salon itself is a really nice environment. Everybody from the charming guy at the desk to the coat check lady are very friendly and welcoming. Best of all is Duffy, the brow genius. She literally transformed me. I think the salon is value for money and would highly recommend.

1 Stars: Worst Haircut of my life - Do not go to ALI at Roy Teeluck (by lhl4456)

lhl4456 — Mon, 25 Feb 2008 01:00:00 GMT

I went to Roy Teeluck the other day expecting a good haircut - however, what I received was worse off than if I were to have gone to Supercuts. I told ALI from the beginning that I did not want anything drastic and just a simple cut - He told me to "trust him" and they he knew what he is doing. As I was watching him cut chunks out of my hair - he saw my apprehension and just said - "trust me." I do not know why I did - I should have sat up from the chair the second I saw him trying to go shorter and shorter - The cut is so uneven and messy - it looks absolutely horrible! He thinks its a work of art! I would not recommend going to ALI for anyone - unless they want his distorted vision of what haircut should be - I will never go to Roy Teeluck Salon again, and I will never go to ALI! Avoid at all costs!!!!

4 Stars: Great Service (by Naca821)

Naca821 — Tue, 12 Feb 2008 01:00:00 GMT

I never heard of this salon until I received a gift certificate to it. I looked at its website before scheduling an appointment and saw it was quite pricey! That gave me very high expectations! I have always had long, thin, straight blond hair..never really made any extreme changes in my hair. Since I had this gift certificate I figured this was the best time to make a drastic change because it wasn't worth paying a lot of money for a trim. Arriving at the salon I was happily surprised by the calm colors and open space. The stylist, Adeline, was extremely nice from the beginning, listened to what I wanted and then gave her professional opinion. I was going for a shorter style (not too short though) and red hair! I was definitely nervous! Adeline helped me pick a color that would look natural and won't fade poorly in the future. She also gave me pointers on how to keep the red from fading...washing styles, shampoos, conditioners. I also had a mini head massage while she washed the color out of my hair and had some tea while she styled my hair. I was completely satisfied with the cut and color! It was exactly what I wanted! Even though I spent more than I expected ($300), it was worth every penny. Adeline was great!! =)

5 Stars: Ali is the BEST! (by 0Stephanie0)

0Stephanie0 — Thu, 07 Feb 2008 01:00:00 GMT

Ali is the BEST! I got my hair cut and dyed by him and I get complements all the time. I?ve had long thick curly brown hair my whole life and I wanted to go short because that seems to be the style now. I figure that if I was going to go short I should do it right since this was going to be a big change for me. So I city searched top salons and found roy teeluck and read its reviews and made an appointment, in which they scheduled me with ali. I brought in some pictures with me to give him some ideas of what I was thinking and along with his consultation, in which he is very knowledgeable about what fits your face, he gave me this short trendy cut with a sophisticated chic edge. The best part is that my hair was long enough to donate it to locks of love and as a result my cut was FREE! I Love it and so do my family, friends, and coworkers. Ali really knows what he is doing and he will give you his honest opinion. I will definitely recommend him and he is a keeper! I will always go to him whenever I need to get my hair done. He is awsome and knows what he is doing.

Denizz — Thu, 07 Feb 2008 01:00:00 GMT

This was my first time to Roy. I have been to a million salons and I know what a good salon meant to be. I have finally found the one that is just right! I made an appointment with Ali for a haircut and I am so glad I did. Before Roy, I knew he worked with the best European hair stylist, and it really shows. He is extremely talented, very confident and creative. My hair is super straight, and I have a major volume problem. Ali gave me a layered haircut with a natural look that gave my hair tons of volume. He is also very knowledgeable about coloring. He considers the face shape, the skin tone and your style, and then makes suggestions. Believe me, I am extremely picky when it comes to skin care and haircut. Make an appointment with Ali, I am pretty sure you will love it. He is young and very talented. Actually, he is the BEST. I would definitely come back again even tough I live 90 miles away! I LOVE NEW YORK, I LOVE ALI :)

5 Stars: Glad I made the move to the Roy Teeluck Salon and Benoit! (by nicjen)

nicjen — Tue, 05 Feb 2008 01:00:00 GMT

I thought I submitted this review a few weeks ago, but I just noticed it didn't post...I'll do my best to recreate the review...I moved here several months ago and started with another salon in the city. I dreaded walking in the place (very pretentious) and I hated my hair each time I walked out (not to mention I was getting blonder each time). It was just easier to keep returning, because I didn't know where else to go. I was having highlights, full and partial with foils. I was thinking about flying back to my salon at home, but I decided to do some research on other local salons. I came up with two names, and with the New Year I decided to give a new salon a try ? Roy Teeluck Salon. From the minute I walked in I was greeting by a friendly staff, and although Benoit was finishing up with a client, he took the time to greet me. I drank a cappuccino while I waited, and as a new client I was offered a complimentary manicure?so far so good. I had the opportunity to talk with his client and she gave Benoit a glowing review. Benoit started with a consultation, and listened to what I wanted. We both agreed the goal was to be a ?natural blond? again. I was horrified when Benoit asked if I had a full head of highlights lately (I did) and pointed out the several months growth at the back of my head! Benoit performed his miracle ?color correction?, and I couldn?t be more pleased with the result. He even ordered lunch for me! I had a blowout from Tim (very, very nice) - he did a fantastic job! I have had many compliments on my hair since walking out of the Roy Teeluck Salon. Thank you, Benoit, Tim and all! Truly, The Best.
Oh, I am using a few new products recommended by Benoit - Leonor Greyl...they work!
And I wanted to say something about a couple of recent negative reviews...I would attribute these to the competition or someone's own agenda. They are voted the best for a reason. Thanks for reading and I'm sure you won't be disappointed.

I was nervous of going to an altogether new place but decided I would try. I was anxious when I entered the salon,but the receptionist was so comforting and a real good counselor like.. I lost half of my anxiety... and Ali ... he is simply superb! He listened very patiently to what I expected and finally gave me a look for which I was craving!! An elegant ,modern but comfortable look!
I feel very confident with my new style and color.. Thanks to Ali.

5 Stars: Fantastic new 'do from fantastic salon (by mcork)

mcork — Sun, 27 Jan 2008 01:00:00 GMT

After months of pondering I decided I wanted to take the plunge and get my long hair cut to a short new bob. I have been to many places in the city and wanted to find a hair salon that would able to take my hair from long to short and leave me leaving the salon loving my new 'do not crying. After reading the amazing reviews on citysearch I realized that the Roy Teeluck salon was the place for me. I called on a Tuesday thinking they would never be able to fit me in. To my surprise they could and at a time that was good for me. The receptionist couldn't have been friendlier and listened to what I was looking for.

When I arrived the staff couldn't have been nicer and down to earth. Not stuffy like a lot of the salons you find in the city. The shampoo girl was amazing...I felt like I was getting a head massage at a spa!

Then I moved to the salon chair where Ali listened to all my concerns and exactly what type of haircut I was looking for. I have to admit I was nervous b/c I hadn't had such that short a haircut since I was 9 years old. I also have very think hair so I wanted to make sure this new bob wasn't going to leave me looking like a mushroom. Once Ali began cutting my fears went away, and actually I felt so relaxed that I thought I could fall asleep. Once all complete I felt like a million bucks! I LOVE my new haircut; I still can't get over it!

So overall, as a VERY picky Manhattanite I would definitely recommend this salon for their personable and very talented staff. I will be going back in the future.

5 Stars: One of my best haircuts ever! (by Chicago22)

Chicago22 — Wed, 23 Jan 2008 01:00:00 GMT

Since moving to NYC over a year and a half ago, I've been searching for the perfect salon with no luck. Now that I have found Roy Teeluck Salon, my search has ended. Ali gave me one of the best haircuts I've ever had!! He looked at the shape of my face, suggested a certain style and I told him to go for it. It came out great. My hair is curly/wavy and can sometimes be difficult to cut and style...but Ali had no problems at all. He also took the time to explain to me how I should dry my hair and he gave me tips for how to make it an easier process. Ali is awesome, and I highly recommend him if you want a great haircut! Lauren did an amazing job on my color too...but sounds like she is gone? That's dissapointing.

5 Stars: Best Highlights and cut Ever! (by karolcia)

karolcia — Tue, 22 Jan 2008 01:00:00 GMT

I love love love what Benoit and Dora have done to my head. I've been doing highlights on my own for many years (long hair!) have been to a few good salons, but I was tired of the Line i get from foils. I read about the Roy Teeluck salon, and Benoit - he does Balayage Color Highlights not foil. True artist, he took me from a yellowish mush of highlights to a gorgeous 'baby' natural blonde.. I was afraid because it was much blonder than ever, but WOW people couldn't get over my hair. And Dora - another wow! worked wonders on my waist long hair, gave me layers that I only dreamt of.. Def. recommended.

5 Stars: Great hair salon (by abdayton)

abdayton — Sun, 20 Jan 2008 01:00:00 GMT

I had my hair cut and colored - excellent and timely service. Abby was very attentive to my goals and concerns about hair color - I'm delighted with the results. Dora did a great cut that works with the way I prefer to wear my hair, long for play and pulled back for work. Both listened well and delivered on my expectations.

5 Stars: Best blonde highlights in NYC! (by daltonangela)

daltonangela — Wed, 16 Jan 2008 01:00:00 GMT

i have lived in NY for 9 years and have been to many different hair salons trying to get the natural blonde back in my hair. This Christmas i was looking at pictures of me and my daughter who is five and i realized that we had the exact same hair color! Benoit is the best...a true artist!!!

5 Stars: Wow. And they made it seem so effortless. I cant keep my hands off my hair. (by jmllsss)

jmllsss — Tue, 15 Jan 2008 01:00:00 GMT

I went to this salon over the weekend, and got my hair correctively (bad color from a different salon) colored by Lauren. I have to say, I didnt completely trust her with her que sera attitude and cool composure.... wasnt too sure if she was listening to what I was saying. But WOW, the woman knows her stuff. She went to work on my hair and I swear, my hair has never in my entire life looked this good. She knows her stuff for sure.

After Lauren, I was seen by Enzo... same thing with him. I wasnt sure if he knew what I was talking about... while I was talking, he was frowning and nodding and looked absently around... but then he worked his scissors and I had to mumble "oh wow oh my god" at least ten times as he was cutting and drying and styling my hair. I left there feeling like a hair commercial, and it didnt break my wallet either.

I am TOUGH when it comes to hair salons and I have FINALLY found my salon. They know what they are doing here... I was closely observing the clientele and everyone that walked out of there looked like a million bucks. Not to mention, the service is kind of crazy with how naturally friendly everyone is. It is the most unpretentious place I have been to in a long time, and Im glad to have finally found it.

5 Stars: Go to Roanni for men's haircuts!! (by nydionysus01)

nydionysus01 — Sat, 12 Jan 2008 01:00:00 GMT

I went to Roanni for the first time right before Christmas and spent the holidays constantly getting compliments on my new look. I have very fine, straight hair and usually stylists cringe when they see me coming. It's easy for me to get a bad haircut. Roanni was amazing! Not only did she give me a great haircut but she also focused on shaping it so that even as it grew out over the past few weeks, I don't have that uneven "I badly need another haircut" look.

5 Stars: Best Hair and color! (by jennifervining)

jennifervining — Fri, 11 Jan 2008 01:00:00 GMT

Tim Johnson made my hair look fabulous! Tim Johnson is the best hair stylist I've ever been to. He listens to my needs and exceeds my expectations every time. He cuts my hair with extreme passion and colors it like an artist. Tim has become not only my hair stylist, but a dear friend. I would highly recommend Tim to anyone.

5 Stars: I believe my own eyes... (by doctorbrown)

doctorbrown — Fri, 11 Jan 2008 01:00:00 GMT

My greatest female temptation went to try Tim Johnson at a friend's recommendation, and when I next saw her, I could not believe my eyes. I always found her irresistable, but he made magic with her hair. He gave her a very natural color that went perfectly with her olive complexion, and her hair texture was the smoothest, silkiest that I'd ever felt. He also gave her hair just a bit of bounce and wave, and the result was a miracle and a brilliant work of art. I would highly recommend anyone, particularly women, who can afford him.

5 Stars: benoit is a genius!!! (by simsim)

simsim — Wed, 26 Dec 2007 01:00:00 GMT

after trying out pretty much every colorist in ny, I ended up in benoit's chair. The man is a genius. I'm east Indian, and in the past my highlights have always oxidized to a hideous shade of orange. Until I met benoit..... He is the only one who has been able to consistently keep my hair looking beautiful, the right color....which looks extremely natural but really brightens my face...... and healthy. No more over processed straw hair! Not only is he talented but he is also hilarious, caring and just fun to be around. I highly recommend him.

5 Stars: Best highlights in Manhattan! (by eh777)

eh777 — Wed, 12 Dec 2007 01:00:00 GMT

I have been going to the Roy Teeluck Salon for highlights for almost one year. Before, my hair was damaged and the color was just ok. I am so happy that I made the switch to Benoit. His highlights are spectacular and my hair is now very healthy and strong. My friends, family and even acquaintances comment on how beautiful my hair is and assume that it is natural. (And of course, I wouldn't dare contradict them!!!) Benoit is truly an artist and I won't let anyone else touch my hair.

5 Stars: Best Salon in New York -- Superior customer service (by suzannepilates)

suzannepilates — Sat, 08 Dec 2007 01:00:00 GMT

I loved my experience at the salon. It's an all-around feel-good experience, from the moment I arrived. The staff are super friendly, welcoming, and helpful. Little details are taken care of with precision.

Abby Haliti gave me gorgeous color and it feels "real", which is precisely the look I was trying to achieve. She is very intuitive and knows exactly what I want my hair to look like. I've been a client of hers for over six years, and every time I get compliments. I highly recommend her.

In addition, the cappucino is a great touch. It would be fantastic to have a to-go cup!!! Yum...

5 Stars: Great Haircuts (by amg19)

amg19 — Sun, 02 Dec 2007 01:00:00 GMT

I've been getting my hair cut by Tim Johnson for years (he's awesome!), and I was a little nervous when he recently moved to this salon. I'm a downtown girl and I thought this might be too upscale and/or pretentious for me. I was happily wrong on both counts. The staff is very personable and friendly, and they make you feel instantly comfortable. The whole place has such a warm vibe. And Tim is an excellent stylist who really listens to what you want, as well as offering helpful suggestions.

5 Stars: Great haircuts for men (by macphotophile)

macphotophile — Thu, 15 Nov 2007 01:00:00 GMT

I came to Teeluck two years ago quite by chance. As a guy, more accustomed to barbershops than hair salons, I didn't expect to become a regular. But there's something effortlessly elegant about Roanni Castro's cuts. She reads the shape of my head, so that when I walk out everyone doesn't scream "haircut!" And whether it's a few days or four weeks later, everything continues to look good. Great location, nice surroundings, terrific staff.

I could hardly wait for Roy to come back to L.A. and work his magic on my hair. This was my third session with the Roy Teeluck Salon and once again, Roy gave me the most beautiful haircut I could ever wish for. My hair looks stunning and the style is very flattering! Roy is THE BEST and he deserves 10 out of the 5 possible stars on this site :-) Thank you, Roy!

I've never written a review before but I was compelled to do so . Foto did my hair she was so sweet she made me feel comfortable as soon as I sat on her chair, she listen to me didn't give any attitude like most stylist in those high end salons.. I love my cut and its so easy to style she was a bit pricey but I'm hooked...

1 Stars: READ THIS BEFORE GOING TO ROY TEELUCK! (by mcmillan1)

mcmillan1 — Tue, 06 Nov 2007 01:00:00 GMT

I recently moved to NYC and carefefully reviewed many different salons before deciding on Roy Teeluck. I had read all the great reviews from magazines and different clients, and was very excited about my upcoming appointment. I first started with highlights... they do not use the foil technique, but instead claim that their method is more "natural"...well, I ended up with chunky stripes. Not awful...but not work the money. I then went for my haircut and specifically stated that I wanted a trim (at this point my hair was below my shoulders). I walked out of the salon looking exactly like Carol Brady from the Brady Bunch. My hair had been cut in the "euro-shag" look. I had to go to another salon and have the back end chopped off to meet the layers around my face so that no longer had a mullet. I now have a bob that ends right at my chin. And all for $315 dollars!

I believe that you can have a good experience there...but I do not recommend this salon if you are used to more traditional, classic cuts. Beware...you will end up looking like a hipster. Be VERY specific...bring a picture. But remember...I had asked for only a trim!!!....And now I must wait for my hair to grow back out!

5 Stars: Great place, and very friendly staff!!!! (by sakkurt)

sakkurt — Mon, 05 Nov 2007 01:00:00 GMT

I hardly ever write reviews, but this time I had to. I took an appointment from Zeki, whom I knew before he started working there. After waiting 30 minutes, I learned that he is not coming, because he was sick. I was upset, but hey its life, things happen. The staff was soooo friendly, and they asked me if I would prefer someone else to do it. I didn't cut my hair for a long time, and needed a change, so I told them I would only want Roy himself to cut my hair. Surprisingly he was available. What a friendly person!!!!!!! I went to other high end salons before, and what an attitude, that you needed to get dressed to be taken seriously. This salon is high-end without that attitute, but with the best service!!! All I can say is WOW!!!!! I wanted a funky hair, but I also needed it in a way that I would be able to go to work. Roy, without even asking (I told him he can do whatever he wants) cut my hair exactly in my style. I am suspicious that he is a psychic, and a true mind reader :)) Bohemian, layered look, without needing to blow-dry. He is very friendly, and a true prince charming!!!!! Lauren is perfect with the coloring. She is very sweet, too. She gave me a bright red peak-a-boo higlights, that are great!!!!!! Roy and Lauren you guys are the BESTTTTTT!!!!!!

Hands down, Andre Davis is the best hair stylist! He's honest, personable and knows how to bring out the confidence and beauty in every woman. The feeling you get from wearing a pair of fabulous heels is the same felling you get when Andre does your hair. A definite must!!

nymarina — Thu, 25 Oct 2007 02:00:00 GMT

I go to the Roy teeluck salon because of Tim. He has been my hairstylist since 2000 and i have followed him all over new york. Finally, at the roy teeluck salon, we are happy. Tim is a fantastic and gentle soul, who understands the impact of a haircut and who truly tries to find you and create the perfect cut for you. He listens and is kind and remembers. He also does my color and on special occasions, hair and makeup. He is extremely versatile but most importantly, he is a fabulous person. When have you ever said "Do what you think is best, I trust you?" Well I do..all the time but only to Tim!

I was in NYC last week from California searching for Roanni, who over the years has given me the best haircut at a few upscale salons in manhattan. Roanni is now at Roy Teeluck....After a professional consultation I told her to do whatever she thought was the best for me and as always, the cut was uncomparable with what i usually get here in CA. I will be flying every other month to have Roanni do her magic . Thanks for th product recommendation too....

Highly recommended.

5 Stars: Ali is a Brilliant Stylist (by fugen)

fugen — Wed, 17 Oct 2007 02:00:00 GMT

Ali is a very talented stylist who can transform his clients with spectacular haircuts and color. Be prepared for lots of "wow's" from your friends and family after you treat yourself to Ali's exceptional hair styling skills. I walked in with average hair and color and came out with a head turning hair style and color which has prompted many friends and strangers to ask who did my hair. His cuts require minimal maintenance (a huge time saver) and grow out so gracefully that you can not help but praise him.

5 Stars: Best Cut and Style: Roannie Castro (by daphnehansen)

daphnehansen — Mon, 15 Oct 2007 02:00:00 GMT

Those of us devoted to our look have searched far and wide for a great stylist. If you're still on the hunt, look no further. Roannie Castro at Roy Teeluck Salon seems to have a psychic connection with clients' hair, and can tame even the most unruly of locks. Curly? No problem. Frizzy?her expertise (trust me). Rather than going for the obvious Posh Spice cut or other trendy look, Castro studies your face and your style, then determines the best cut for you. She will act as your therapist or keep her questions brief (she'll follow your lead), will remember your kids' names, and has even been known to email regular clients when she knows it's time for a touch-up. In a city full of impersonal service providers, Roannie Castro is a cut above.

5 Stars: Ali is Great!!!! (by mjsrn1)

mjsrn1 — Fri, 12 Oct 2007 02:00:00 GMT

I was in NYC this week on business and had some free time. I decided to find a hair salon for new style and also touch ups on my highlights. I found this website while searching for a good salon. Took the advice of another reviewer regarding Ali, a new stylist. I called and was very pleased to get an appointment with Ali!!!! He is really very gifted and talented....I am very fussy about my hair because my hair is abundant and needs a good stylist to be able to manage it...During my consultation I decided to allow him to do what he thought I needed...he suggested lowlights along with highlights because my color was almost a solid blonde because of too many highlights, kept my hair longer ( was pleased because I have been trying to let it grow out, but he did not know that). Well, the end results were fabulous!!! The color was outstanding and the cut was absolutely stunning. It has been several hours since I left the salon and I have had 5 compliments already, it has been years since I received a compliment on my hair!!! I plan to return to NYC to visit Ali. He has a very special talent because he is able to analyze the shape of your face and recommend the best cut to enhance your features. I think I look at least 10 years younger thanks to Ali. Thank you Ali...you are the greatest!! and you are very sweet!! Also, the salon is very comfortable and the staff extremely friendly. If you are debating on a new look or makeover...trust in Ali...you will not be disappointed.

lryn45 — Tue, 09 Oct 2007 02:00:00 GMT

Ali is phenomenal. A new stylist at Roy Teeluck's; I highly recommend him! I'm very particular about my hair. I like high end style but nothing over the edge. Ali's color and cut put me in awe. He is a young, yet very experienced, and in my opinion, gifted, European stylist. When Ali finished styling my hair, I looked in the mirror and said ''Wow, I look incredible'' I actually walked out of a salon without fixing and fussing with my hair...an unheard of feat for me! Call Today and Ask for Ali, you'll be so glad you did!

I just recently relocated to New York from another country and have had only two regular hairstylists for the past 12 years. I am naturally apprehensive to have someone else cut my hair. But Tim Johnson did a wonderful, wonderful job with my hair and gave me a young, easy to maintain, classy and sexy cut. He listened to every single thing I wanted and worked with me for over an hour to produce the kind of hairstyle Ive been dreaming of. He is also very easy to talk to and very kind as were everyone in the salon from the receptionists to the coat check. Im very impressed and pleased with the salon and is well worth the price. I highly, highly recommend it!

Tim at Roy Teeluck did an incredible job giving me a new look - both cut and color. I took the plunge and went to TIm after having been with stylist fro many years - it was a great decision. The compliments that I have received have been overflowing and though it is a new look it still feels like me. Kind, FAST, and professional Tim is a great addition to the Roy Teeluck salon!!

5 Stars: Benoit the best for hair color anywhere. (by haronid)

haronid — Sat, 15 Sep 2007 02:00:00 GMT

Benoit is fabulous. My hair color is beyond my expectations. I appreciate his professionalism, kindness, talent, he is courtious and has a vibrant personality yet serene. If you are looking for high quality, beautiful, glamorous hair and a wonderful experience ask for him. The salon in general is very professional, the environment is light, airy, and everyone is very attentive. I have a very demanding schedule and I am used to high quality professional service and I found a perfect fit with their services.
Additionally, the salon is very professional b/c they are not trying to push you to buy products. They do have a very unique selection of high quality products but they gently familiarize you with their quality and benefits. I invite you to experience this place and to leave feeling and looking fabulous.

5 Stars: Lovely decor and atmosphere, great service! (by nycliving)

The moment you enter the salon you are welcomed as a special customer. It was my first time, but I felt like a regular. The staff was a pleasure to be around, very friendly and obliging. I went in for a cut with Tim. It was such a treat to be in the hands of a professional with the experience he has. He was very thorough and clear in consulting with me what I wanted and what would work and I ended up with a fabulous cut I could not be happier with. I'll definitely be returning to Tim. He's one of those people you can easily work with. Plus, I like his style and charisma.

5 Stars: CALL TIM - You won't regret it!!! (by nicolemcain)

nicolemcain — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 02:00:00 GMT

I'm afraid of hair stylists after having a really bad cut about seven years ago... after moving to NYC, I was so unsure of where to go because of all the choices. After not getting a cut for over a year, I just bit the bullet after reading good reviews of Tim Johnson although unsure if they would really be true.

BUT - He is AMAZING!! I went in not knowing what I wanted at all, but I gave him a range of acceptable length and let him go with it... He made me feel so comfortable and the cut is fabulous. He was also great at recommending colors for me even though I was just scheduled for a cut... and he did such an amazing job that I also had it colored on the spot. The salon is comfortable and everyone was extremely pleasant and friendly!

I definitely think this is the best hair style/color I have ever had!! Tim is the best. Call him ASAP!!

I am new to the area and after doing some research online I figured this would be the best place to get my hair done!! BOY WAS I WRONG! I dont mind paying what it takes to have a great color but $400 was not worth the horrifying look on my face. Yes the establishment is very upscale and refreshing, but i went to get my hair done and I could careless about cappucino and european stylists. The only thing done right was my shampoo and blowdry. DO NOT GO HERE FOR HIGHLIGHTS! And whoever says they dont try to convince you to buy their products is wrong!

i was thoroughly impressed by the salon, as everyone was just lovely. Benoit brought me back to my original haircolor from when i was 18! he is an absolute genius with color! Andre gave me the best haircut of my life!

i have seen the work of the very best hair people in the world and these sweet guys are right up there. my hair has truly never looked better in my life. truthfully, i have never even liked my hair until they graced me with their talent. thank you so much! big kiss to all!

lek77 — Sun, 26 Aug 2007 02:00:00 GMT

I just moved to NYC from Dubai and found it really difficult to find a hair stylist and colorist, so i found RT through the reviews on this website. Thank God it was quite a nice experience since I was seriously freaking out about my hair. I long curly hair that lacks volume and that's all I needed. Dory cut my hair and did a magnificent job with it. exactly what I had asked for. The great thing was that I asked to see her before i colored my hair, so that she can see it naturally when dry and can decide and she took all the time to talk to me about it and made me feel like i trusted her. I'm glad I did. she did a terrific job with the hair cut. Lots of layers, lots of volume, and I looked completely different walking out. So glamourous. Lauren colored my hair and she was really good too. I had highlights and went in to get them retouched, but before i began i asked her if she thought i should go darker or just continue with highlights. she gave me her opinion and i went with it, and very happy with the results.
Very helpful, cheery, friendly staff. Been back twice already. and still happy.

5 Stars: Best Cut and Color I've ever had...and I've had LOTS! (by flora)

flora — Thu, 23 Aug 2007 02:00:00 GMT

There is NO WAY these reviews are fake. I have never left a reivew for anything but feel obligated since I used this site in researching where I should go. I just saw Tim for a cut and Michelle for highlights-I have fine hair, with highlights and I'm V picky and demanding about both my cut and color. Tim and Michelle were attentive, interested in hearing what I wanted my hair to look like and extremely helpful with advice about how to maintain and style my hair- and the best part...they did my hair PERFECTLY! I loved everything about my hair from the second it was finished (which is a change for me because I always had to wait a day or two for it to "adjust" after coloring and had the most boring cuts because it's so fine) and I STILL love it today. I had an absolutley fantastic experience and would refer them to even the most discerning salon goer. This is a place with talented, quality people.

5 Stars: Not a "fake review" here! (by countrycats)

countrycats — Tue, 21 Aug 2007 02:00:00 GMT

I do not usually write reviews, but I had to respond to the reviewer who urged people to disregard what she referred to as "fake reviews." I am here to say she could not be more wrong. This review is real, as am I. I am not related to nor do I have any relationship, professional or otherwise, with Roy Teeluck salon or any of its employees. Therefore, my review is completely unbiased.
I saw Tim Johnson for a haircut last Friday. I found him to be as professional as he is charming, and he took all the time in the world with me. I am not an easy haircut, as my hair is thin and fine, but Tim made me look great.
I do not know the expertise of the individuals mentioned in the review entitled "disappointing" but I can assure anyone who reads my review that I am a real person, who is writing of her very real experience at this salon.

5 Stars: Dream salon! (by citygal68)

citygal68 — Fri, 10 Aug 2007 02:00:00 GMT

Ever the downtown gal, I first stepped into Roy Teeluck with more than a a bit of trepidation. Had I donned a chic enough outfit (or did I even own one !)? Would ladies-who-lunch be glamming beside me, while yappy poodles napped on their laps? Could a mere freelance writer like me ever fit in with the moneyed crowd I expected to be surrounded by? One step into the salon and the fears faded. Warmth and sincerity generously flowed from coat check to styling chair, shampoo, and beyond. Owner Roland Peralta sets the tone, with his infectious enthusiasm, charm, and generosity. He's happy to take time away from his tiny on-site office to make sure that every client is getting what they need (and that includes a cup of soothing tea or option to order lunch, if you've missed yours!). But, most importantly, I have never been so thrilled with my color. LAUREN is INCREDIBLE. She transformed years and years of so-so color into the most natural, soft, gorgeous look I've ever had. Downtown has its charms, but for haircare I'm an uptown gal now.

5 Stars: amazing (by ms2443)

The stylists at the Roy Teeluck salon are phenomenal. I have gotten my hair cut twice there, and each time Roy and his staff amazed me with their ability to sculpt, style and work with my hair so that it fell beautifully naturally and was easy to style with the option of dressing it u it up for fancy occasions. Unlike any other salon I have encountered, they understand hair, and work to understand exactly how your hair behaves and how much time you devote to your hair. Always blowdry? fine. never blowdry? fine.
For anyone looking for a haircut to make you completely rethink haircare and walk out with a beautiful style that will last for months I would recommend Roy Teeluck. Theyre worth every penny.

mchambers007 — Sat, 21 Jul 2007 02:00:00 GMT

I recently visited the Roy Teeluck Salon and will keep going back. All around the service was top knotch. I saw Benoit for highlights and a trim. My blonde hair had seen too much of the sun and was in need love. He was professional and fun, everything you would want in a stylist. I left looking amazing, and after the special conditioning treatment I felt like a milion bucks. His cut was sleek and stylist without going overboard, and he gave me loads of advice as to which products to use, etc. Its so refreshing to visit madison avenue without the stuffiness. Also the espresso and other perks didn't hurt! Benoit is an amazing colorost and I'd recommend him to anyone!

5 Stars: Call Tim Johnson (by tkat2)

tkat2 — Thu, 19 Jul 2007 02:00:00 GMT

Tim has been cutting and coloring my hair for about 6 years. I cannot say enough about him. He is THE BEST hair stylist I have ever found. I receive compliments on my hair all the time and I always say, "I can't take credit. It's Tim. Call him." The best thing about Tim is that he really respects the feelings of his clients. He has great instincts, will help you brainstorm, and offer his advice. but, he is never pushy. He will listen to every word you say, answer any question, and work with you until you are happy. . . as long as it takes. I trust his judgement completely. And, on top of being a fantastic stylist, he is just a really wonderful human being, kind and down to earth, with a great sense of perspective and humor. After meeting several know-it-all NY stylists, it has been so refreshing to find Tim. I would follow him anywhere. Call him. He will take such good care of you.

1 Stars: WORST COLOR (by laurenserr)

laurenserr — Thu, 19 Jul 2007 02:00:00 GMT

After reading all the great reviews I decided to go to Benoit for color (I recently died my hair to a dark brown shade). Benoit came over with the hair swatches and "matched" my color, he slopped the "rich chocolate color" on my hair staining my forehead and face. I did not have enough time to get my hair blown out so I payed my $170 bill and left with my hair sopping wet. When I got home i blew it out and noticed that my roots were orange, the color did not match my color at all. When I went to a new colorist she asssumed that I colored it myself and was astonished when i told her the truth. I walked out of there with the color to my liking and a bill less than half the price of RT. I learned my lesson: never trust computer reviews.

katlak — Sat, 14 Jul 2007 02:00:00 GMT

I'd suffered through bad haircut after bad haircut until a friend got her hair cut by Tim and loved it. From my first cut I've been hooked! He listens to what I want, asks and answers questions, makes suggestions and never rushes. I've been seeing him for years now and I always walk out with the best cut and color possible.

I also have to say that I really like his new salon. Everyone at Roy Teeluck was kind and helpful. I'm looking forward to my next cut!

5 Stars: Great salon (by 241east)

241east — Mon, 09 Jul 2007 02:00:00 GMT

Zekie has given me the best haircut and color I have ever had. I have short red hair and it is so easy to manage and always looks great.. I get compliments all the time. Sometimes he does bangs, sometimes he doesn't but I have complete confidence in him and I let him do whatever he wants. It takes me 3 minutes to do my hair in the morning which I just love. I have used hairdressers at some of the finest salons in the city, but no one has done as well for me as Zekie. He is consistent and really knows what he is doing. And he is a real nice guy, The salon is great and everyone is as friendly as can be. And Marisol gives a wonderful shampoo. I recently chaired a fundraiser for MS and Roy Teeluck who is the spokesperson for Nexxus products donated 800 items and 800 gift certificates for our goodie bags. That was greatly appreciated. I highly recommend the Roy Teeluck Salon

5 Stars: best fix (by dbittker)

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

Tim looked at me as I described my hair woes--a winter of the relentless St. Barth sun, straight irons, blow-outs, curling irons and the final blow--a color job that left me a dried out blond--too blond. We talked about what I wanted, he showed me pictures, we talked about Sharon Stones cool hair cut, and then boom! We decided that my last ten year old hair-do was history. A hip, face softening cut, new warm color and a new attitude to match. Tim is perceptive and he listens. You tell him what you want and he will work with you to give you the best of it.

He has always set high standards for himself and i can see that in his salon today. People there are happy and kind, you could not ask for better services by people who have talent and care.Go there and see for yourselves, it's so worth it..

1 Stars: The absolute worst! (by tulalula)

tulalula — Fri, 08 Jun 2007 02:00:00 GMT

I was so excited to go to the salon for an updo for a special occasion in light of all the amazing reviews on this site. I had no problem getting an appointment for myself and my friend who was also going to the same event. My friend got her hair washed with ice cold water - the reason they gave us was that they had no hot water that day. That's when the whole experience started feeling like a big mistake and somewhat of a turture. After working on my hair for a long time because the stylist was trying to curl it and it would not take the curl (I have very straight hair) he kept curl-ironing one particular section over and over again for a while. I was a little nervous but assumed that he knew what he was doing. The final look came together eventually but once I got home and washed my hair after the event, I was left with a section of hair in the front.that was much shorter than the rest of my hair and very wirey and obviously permanently damaged. He (Andre) burned my hair. I was so disappointed because I had faith in him and he permanently damaged my hair and in a very obvious way. Needless to say, I will never got back.

I've been seeing Tim for over 2 years now thru a friend, and I wont trust my haircolor to anyone else. He is truly talented, and has a great personality as well. He is gifted at finding the best color for you. He can do multiple colors without looking streaky or fake; which I've experienced even at the most exclusive salons in nyc. With Tim, I always leave looking like I stepped out of the pages of a magazine. Michelle

5 Stars: Best Salon in New York (by karinny)

karinny — Mon, 28 May 2007 02:00:00 GMT

Benoit & Andre: I have finally found THE salon in New York where the service is both friendly and professional and the staff is consistently superb. I had my very first color with Benoit whose expertise would put any newbe at ease. He clearly loves what he does and seems to have an obvious natural eye for choosing the color that works. For me, he suggested my own natural dark brown - but gave me shine, depth and richness I didn't realize existed. Andre did the cut and gave me a look that is versatile and gorgeous. It has taken me a long time to find a stylist in New York that didn't get burnt out or simply didn't understand the look I wanted - or couldn't produce it. Well, Andre does it all - He enjoys his work, loves seeing the results and, most importantly, gives a cut to die for. I have never had so many friends and strangers approach me to tell me how attractive I am. Thank you to Benoit and Andre for being so fantastic! I highly highly recommend these guys if you want to look your absolute BEST!!

Thank you Nancy for the referral and thank you Dora for now you are my east coast stylist.
Also a big thanks to all the staff for maling the whole experience so enjoyable.

I've gone to many of "the best" salons in New York City and Roy Tee Luck Salon surpasses them all. I have paid top dollar at other salons for highlights and have come out with horrible color and damaged hair. Benoit is absolutely the best. He knows exactly what I want and when I leave the salon my hair is healthier and shinier then when I walked in. Benoit also introduced me to Andre for extensions and haircuts. I couldn't be happier with my new long hair. When I went on vacation and went to the hotel spa, the stylist had commented that my extensions were the best that she had seen. It's great to be able to goto one salon for color, cut and extensions. The staff is friendly and accommodating and I always look forward to getting the best head massages by the women who wash my hair!!!!!!!!

5 Stars: Best Haircut in NYC (by cabella)

cabella — Wed, 02 May 2007 02:00:00 GMT

I have been to some of the most famous hair stylists in NYC and I have to say that Roy Teeluck gives far and away the best hair cut I have ever had?ever. He is truly gifted and simply the loveliest man to boot. I have gone to him for years and he never ceases to amaze me with how wonderful he makes me and everyone else look. The salon is a great place to kick back and relax. The vibe is high energy and upbeat without being frenetic, like many salons and everyone who works there is really nice. Dora finishes off every look perfectly; Maresol gives wonderful shampoos and makes the best coffee in NYC. And while I haven't gone to them personally, Tim, Andre, and Foto have given my friends really great cuts. You are definitely missing out if you don't put your head in Teeluck's hands.

Benoit is amazing! I am prematurely gray and have always had rather frizzy hair. When I started going to him a year ago, I was trying to grow out the remains of a Japanese straightening treatment - my hair was just a mess! He suggested a combination of single-process and highlights that covered the gray, and looked completely natural - but even better! He also gave me a hair treatment (X-tenso) that reduced the frizz but kept the natural volume that the Japanese treatment had stripped out. Most importantly - he manages my hair. He takes care to ensure that I do the minimum treatments necessary and spaced appropriately so that my hair stays shiny and glossy! Definitely book an appointment with Benoit!

When i was in the salon yesterday i experienced a difficlut client moment that Roy had to handle himself. The client he was trying to accomadate was upset for ,what seemed to me, nothing. At least nothing that Roy wasn't willing to fix. As the woman was rambling on it turned out that she was trying to get Roy to pay for her new extensions and not to get her color fixed. I think we call that extortion in this country no? Especially that the color had nothing to do with her bad extentions. I felt so bad for Roy who actually doesn't know me but i have admired his work and i just happened to be online to write a review for my fovorite staff member when i saw another review that looked the the incident i saw. Don't worry Roy, you have slimy people everywhere, And your salon is the best....

5 Stars: Book an appointment with Tim, he is EXCELLENT. (by gaffergirl)

gaffergirl — Mon, 30 Apr 2007 02:00:00 GMT

Tim has been cutting my hair for 4 years, and I always leave the salon looking and feeling fantastic. I like to be able to look good without having to spend a lot of time my hair every morning, and his cuts are both very stylish, and very low maintence.

I like to keep my hair short. So many stylists out there think this means I want something boyish and severe. Tim's cuts let me keep my hair short and still be feminine.

I liked him so much I sent mom to him. She and I have very different hair (fine and straight versus wavy and thick) and Tim did beatiful work on both of us.

I trust Tim's taste implicitly. When I sit down for an appointment all I have to tell him is how long I I want my hair to be and let him work. I have always been thrilled with the results.

5 Stars: Zeki is one of the best stylists in the country (by nygoddess)

nygoddess — Sat, 28 Apr 2007 02:00:00 GMT

Zeki Dogulu has been cutting my hair for over five years. His resume and portfolio cannot be believed (he was one of the best stylists in Europe before he moved here). Every cut he's ever given me has grown out beautifully (make sure you go to him at least twice, he'll remember how he cut your hair and how fast it grew out where and he'll make adjustments). I'll go 4 months without a haircut sometimes and people will ask if I've just gotten it cut because it still looks so good. I trust him so much that now I walk in and tell him to do whatever he wants, because I trust his judgement and it ALWAYS looks fantastic. Trust Zeki. About six of my friends are now clients of his because they've loved what he's done with my hair. I'm the president of the Zeki Dogulu fan club.

He also does my coloring. His highlights are so natural, and the color so good, that I have literally gotten stopped on the street by people who say, "i'm a stylist, your highlights are gorgeous, can I ask who did them?"

As a person, he's funny, intelligent, and sage. I'm not sure what I'd do without Zeki in my life!

5 Stars: Friendly and incredibly talented stylists (by jenklein8)

I've been to the salon several times now and I always see Tim Johnson. His sense of what looks good on me is always so right on that I generally let him do whatever he thinks will look best. I've loved all of my cuts and color that I've gotten from him, and I always get tons of compliments. In fact, four of my friends now also see Tim at Roy Teeluck Salon and are devoted to his genius as well. The rest of the stylists and staff are also incredibly friendly and talented, and I've never had anything less than an excellent experience there.

5 Stars: Great cut AND color! Absolutely fabulous! (by mmbeagle)

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

Foto has cut my hair -- long, thick, slightly wavy hair -- for over five years. Foto gets it... she has long hair herself, and she understands it! It has to look great down, it has to go up in a ponytail for summer/ gym/ etc, and it needs to not take two hours in the morning to deal with! I have had my hair butchered (too) many times in the past -- at very high-end salons -- and I got squeamish about the scissors until Foto -- she has given me the best cuts ever, and she listens BEFORE she cuts. I have never completely trusted someone with my hair before her... so much that I asked her to refer me to colorist Michelle Fury. My hair is dark brunette, with, dare I admit it, the beginnings of neon gray... Michelle is a genius at creating the best cool brunette shade that covers the gray with no orangy-red oxidation -- it shines amazingly, and the color doesn't destroy my hair! She has fixed the previous highlights-gone-bad and gotten me back to my natural state, only better -- I love it!!! She has a great eye for color -- not everyone needs highlights it turns out! Michelle and Foto are both such great people -- very down to earth, great pride in their work -- highly, highly recommended!

5 Stars: Benoit = Color Genius.....top notch salon with down-to-earth attitude (by melindanyc)

melindanyc — Thu, 26 Apr 2007 02:00:00 GMT

Ok, first the scoop on the salon -- seriously FABULOUS!! I had completely sworn off "uptown" salons when I stumbled across Roy Teeluck after buying a spa package that included a color/cut/brow fix there. I went in expecting my clothes, shoes, bag, etc. to be scrutinized while being shuffled from assistant to assistant after spending maybe ten minutes with some prima dona stylist who would make me feel lucky just to be there....this was definitely to be a one-time visit before retreating back to my friendly non-judgmental neighborhood place. I was so wrong! Everyone from the receptionists to the stylists was completely (and genuinely) friendly and professional (absolutely no attitude)....and they actually care about you. I had so much fun (not to mention walking out with great hair) that I abandoned my neighborhood joint and have been loyal to RTS ever since.

Now the stylists -- BENOIT is hands down the best colorist I've ever been to! I came to him as a brassy yellow blonde (think he called it a cross between big bird something else not good that I can't remember - he said it in only the nicest way possible, of course) and now I have this beautiful champagne color (he calls it /sham-pan/, in a way that only someone with a french accent can). What's more is my hair has never been healthier or shinier. Love it! Plus, he spends a ton of time with you and has a wonderfully fun and crazy energy. He even forgave me for being 30 mins late to my last appt:)) ANDRE is amazing for cuts! He maintains the length but gives your hair tons of shape and movement. Also does awesome blowouts that last for days (that's right, he actually dries you himself) and such a sweetheart he is. DUFFY is a master with the tweezers. She broke me of my waxing habit and made me let my brows grow in...they look great now. Overall, 5 STARS - best salon in town - I won't go anywhere else!

5 Stars: I finally found my hairstylist! (by erinnewyork)

erinnewyork — Tue, 24 Apr 2007 02:00:00 GMT

I've been in the city for over six years and admittedly have never settled on a stylist after one dramatic disaster at a salon on the UWS. I don't mind paying for a good cut, but since I moved to the city was just couldn't find a stylist I liked as well as ones I'd gone to on the west coast. I knew that was odd and continued to shop around but couldn't find a stylist who could really give my hair a style not just a cut. I'd usually come out $150-200 poorer and wondered if it was worth it.

A friend had recommend Tim Johnson back when he worked down in Tribecca. She came back with the best cut and said, "You won't believe this. I went to this amazing stylist. He sat me down. We talked about what I like about my hair, what product I use, what it usually looks like and how I wish it would look. He then cut it and showed me three ways to do it." Who does that? I finally decided a long time later to go to Tim. I did and had the exact same treatment. And then went above and beyond and spent the time to show me a style that took way more time than the average style, but made me feel like a million bucks- no extra charge. I am still surprised by the whole experience. Love the cut (best I've had in years). Loved the salon. (Free Diet Cokes- need I say more.) Loved Tim. Will definitely go back.

_melinda_ — Fri, 13 Apr 2007 02:00:00 GMT

I've been flitting from hairstylist to hairstylist all my life.... and now I've finally found the One. Nathalie Herve is? a miracle. No more no less. /

I walked in as a literal disaster: a friend of mine had gotten annoyed and chopped off what had become a single hideous mess/ accidental dreadlock. So, it was short and long all over in patches. I said to Nathalie, ?Fix me.? And she did. I walked out with a haircut I?ve felt more comfortable wearing than any other. People react to me differently, and I feel more *me.* /

It?s hard to find stylists that can deal with my hair, because it?s both very thin and very fine. Layer it and it frazzles like a bird?s nest. Leave it straight and it hangs like a wet mop. Natalie seemed instantly at ease, though. She said she liked to work ?with the hair?s texture instead of against it.? I suspect she worked with the horrid previous cut instead of against it, too, because she gave me something stylish; the kind you?re supposed to spend hours moussing to make it look as if it were by accident. The way she did it, though, it only takes five minutes to style. Sometimes a hairstylist will spend as much time drying and moussing my hair as they did cutting it.... Nathalie says this can sometimes be an attempt cover up a bad cut. In my case, at least, I think that has been true. /

I wish I remembered the name of the colorist who worked with me because she was perfect too. Colorists always want to make me blonde. Blonde does look good on me, but I?ve never felt right in it. I think (now) that most colorists simply do not have a great judgement for color and so always want to stay with what they know. But when I said I?d always wanted to go red, this girl looked at me and said, yeah, alright, that could work really well on you. She did it not-too-strong to keep it natural. And, I loved it. *Loved* it! /

Alright, I?d write more but I?m at the type limit. Good stuff, guys. Good stuff :)

I started getting my hair styled by Tim eight years ago and have never been disappointed. I am an actress in the city and often find I have to update or completely change my look depending on the roles I play. Tim has helped me achieve this on an ongoing basis with his amazing creativity as a hairstylist and impressive skills. I usually just tell him to do what he thinks will look good and he has never been wrong. If your looking for a talented hairdresser with a great personality look no further and go see Tim :)

After my millionth trip to Roy Teeluck, I had to write something to thank my friends Benoit and Roy for their kindness and expertise. Benoit is a riot and always indulges my always-changing opinion about what color I want my hair to be. Roy always sits down with me to chat and is a doll to my family. I love this place and would never go any where else. I always leave feeling like my color is perfect and my blow-out is voluminous, soft and beautiful (never cheesy or sticky). I honestly don't ever need to find a new place :) These people know what they're doing and you'll be a client forever after one time!

5 Stars: Gorgeous Civility! (by victoriacrowan)

victoriacrowan — Tue, 13 Mar 2007 02:00:00 GMT

I am a native NYer who has worked in the fashion/media biz and as a result I am damned picky, so I don't come to raves easily but it's such a rare pleasure to have one's expectations exceeded, I had to write a review. First of all, I like feeling pampered--coat check, complimentary beverage, excellent head massage during the shampoo--while also feeling like I'm getting efficient service. I also liked looking around me and seeing a variety of women and ages and looks being created--sometimes when I go to a "name" salon, I'm scared that I'm going to get the salon's signature look vs. my own. I liked that my stylist--the goodnatured and very talented-listener Mie Tomioka--created a layered cut (that remedied a previous bad cut) that would still look good wash-and-wear (without daily blowdrying and high-maintenance fussing). I also liked that I'd been letting my natural haircolor grow in and she didn't try to talk me into highlights. And what I REALLY like is that she showed me some easy ways to recreate the look I walked out of there with--and now, a week later, my hair really does look great and gets me compliments. I love that I can be lazy about styling on my own and still enjoy a glam shaped cut. Standing ovation!

5 Stars: Nathalie is unique and the best by far (by jesdw)

jesdw — Sat, 10 Mar 2007 01:00:00 GMT

My wife and I have been having our hair cut by (and only by) Nathalie for over 13 years. She takes incredible care in doing her work and has an uncanny ability to match the contour of a head to the way she cuts the hair upon it. The results are completely natural so that there is no need to coax your hair into a style. Furthermore, her scissoring technique is completely unique and a wonder to observe! She leaves soft lines and no stray hairs as she is as meticulous as she is talented.

5 Stars: Best experience I've had at a salon! (by nvanunen)

nvanunen — Fri, 09 Mar 2007 01:00:00 GMT

10 out of 10. I moved to New York 14 months ago, and had a very hard time finding a salon that did a great job of my hair, and was a lovely environment to be in - I can honestly say I've found it. I had my color done by Benoit, and it's truly amazing. I've been asking colorists for countless years to give me a rich cholcolate brown, and that's exactly what I got from Benoit. I would highly recommend Benoit for anyone wanting superb, brilliant color. And if that wasn't enough, I had the marvelous Nathalie cutting my hair. I've had the same boring hair cut for the past 6 years and trusted Nathalie to cut my hair based on her own judgement. And what a fabulous result. I walking out of the salon a different woman. 10 out of 10 for cut and color. I've finally found the perfect combination of hair colorist and cutter. Could not recommend them both highly enough.

5 Stars: An Outstanding Colorist, Michele Fury (by stathisjamie)

stathisjamie — Tue, 20 Feb 2007 01:00:00 GMT

For convenience, I tried a local salon in Astoria.
My hair literally turned green. Frantic I ran to Michele.

I do not know how, but she did it. My hair was restored to the color I originally requested, dark brown with light brown highlights.

A very talented and experienced colorist. I highly recommend Michele Fury.

5 Stars: Exactly what I asked for! (by guls7)

guls7 — Thu, 15 Feb 2007 01:00:00 GMT

Tim was great! I often have trouble getting what I want across to hair stylists, and especially when I ask for a short style I often leave with something more conservative than I described. When I told Tim what I was thinking he was enthusiastic and helpful in making sure we were on the same page - he knew all the right questions to ask and kept me involved throughout the haircut. And I love it! It's exactly what I had in mind. My boyfriend loves it too - he can't stop playing with my hair! It was definitely worth coming from upstate and I will be back.

5 Stars: Receptionists are HARD TO FIND (by tkfashion)

tkfashion — Thu, 15 Feb 2007 01:00:00 GMT

A friend who lives in New Jersey suggested this salon to me. I've had my fair share of hair stylists in the past and began not to trust them. Over the years they would do my hair and do what they thought was the "Best" for me but what they didn't know is that I hated every style every color! My friend made the appointment over the holidays for herself and for me. I was certainly skeptical who wouldn't be, right?!

I sat there watching some of the stylists work with their clients and this calming feeling came over me. I was floored when the colorist to my right ASKED her client what it was she was looking for. I got out of my chair and walked to the front I wanted to make sure this wasn't a dream ... that there would be other stylists listening to their clients. When I walked by the front desk I was again greeted by the same person who booked my friends appointment, Jacqueline. "Can I get you anything", she asked. Again this has NEVER happened to me before. Always an attitude! This wasn't something you learn from a JOB it's who you are as a person, it's where you came from, etc.

In a nutshell I was given the BEST color EVER by a lovely gal named Michelle. I called a week and a half ago to book another appointment but this time I could go alone. I knew I would be taken care of but when I was making the appointment I had heard that Jacqueline was no longer working there. I was sad quite sad actually. She truly took the time to book our appointment, made me feel comfortable over the phone she even made me laugh with her REAL sense of Humor. She greeted my friend and I when we got off the elevator, convinced us to have a cup of tea and when I walked by she asked again!!!

I LOVED the color no question and that girl MICHELLE truly has a gift! I will have to think long and hard about coming back to a salon where the revolving door is back. The girl who sat behind the counter had a voice and I heard it. She will be missed!!!!

5 Stars: Best Salon!! (by rockland007)

rockland007 — Wed, 14 Feb 2007 01:00:00 GMT

I come in from Upstate NY to Roy Teeluck because they are definitely the BEST anywhere around. I've tried many places and Roy Teeluck's Salon does it all perfect. Everyone tells me how fantastic my hair looks - but no one know the secret is fabulous extensions by Andre that look just like my hair - only more full. And the color by Benoit looks natural and lasts 3+ months without roots being noticeable. As if that wasn't enough to want to go there, the office is well organized and treats you like royalty. I could go on and on.

5 Stars: Tim Johnson Rocks!!! (by nychotdude)

nychotdude — Fri, 02 Feb 2007 01:00:00 GMT

Today was the day I have dreamed of for over three years!! My last colorist/stylist moved away. He had been doing my hair exclusively for fifteen years. When he moved it was like the rug had been pulled out from under me. After that I had been referred a couple times to diffrent people and cried each time after my color was done...so, for the last two years I went natural..no color at all!! That color deprevation came to an end today when I met TIM JOHNSON. He not only colored my hair but he cut it aswell...I was blown away. Not only is he sweet, stylish, sophisticated, and caring above all he's extremly talented!! The salon staff was very welcoming. The cappucinos are great! The ambiance is cool yet comfertable. Tim really listened and worked with me as far as what I wanted to achieve with my color and cut. I definitly recommend his services and felt pampered by him from start to finish!! He is a 10!!

5 Stars: Simply the Best ! (by 4seasonsphotography)

4seasonsphotography — Sun, 28 Jan 2007 01:00:00 GMT

If Roy and Zeki had been in my life from the start, I could have saved myself a lot of headaches, tears and nightmares. For 25 years I would not let anyone near my hair, let alone have anyone cut it except for myself. I've always loved my hair, but became overly protective of it after several "traumatic" and awful hair salon experiences as a child and teenager. I had lost all faith and trust in hair stylists - until that memorable day in 2005, when I witnessed the high art of hair design at the Annual Academy Awards? Fashion Preview in Los Angeles. Not familiar with the Roy Teeluck Salon at the time, I was wondering who the creator of these gorgeous and stunning hairdos was. I constantly found myself pointing the camera not only at the gowns and jewelry, but at the unique hairstyles too. I've since been given the opportunity to meet two of these most talented hair designers of the Roy Teeluck Salon, Zeki Dogulu and Roy Teeluck himself. With their warm and welcoming approach, their zen-like yet creatively energetic personalities and their outstanding talent, they were able to put me at ease from day one, and most importantly, put an end to my nightmares. They've since not only beautified my hair and looks in the most incredible way, but also proved with their expertise and artistic view, that "they totally get who I am" - It's as "simple" as that! I've never experienced anything like that before and I feel blessed to have met them both. I also have huge praise for the Salon's Marketing Director, who not only provides excellent service, but in addition has always managed to brighten my day with her utmost kindness and helpfulness. And just in time for the Academy Awards season, I received a truly awesome haircut by Roy a couple of days ago, making me feel like an Oscar winner :-) I will make sure to follow up with either Zeki or Roy in the future, whenever their busy schedule permits them to come to LA - Roy Teeluck Salon, you've got yourself a new client :-)

susannayowith — Fri, 26 Jan 2007 01:00:00 GMT

Natalie knows the more about hair and what to do with it and how to do it than anyone i ever met. She is very talented. She is very respectful of what a person wants. She is very honest. Personally, i enjoy going, sitting in the chair and letting her cut my hair in the way she thinks will make me look the best. After very many years, she has not let me down. I can go there, sit in the chair, close my eyes, and wake up when my hair is finished. I struggle between relaxing and resting, because i totally trust her, or talking because I like her and like to hear what she has to say. On top of it, she is very well thought and thinks about what goes on in the rest of the world. SHE IS THE BEST! i encourage you to make an appointment and see what you think.

I was referred to Tim when I moved to NY 3 1/2 years ago and I can honestly say that I've never had a better cut or color in my life. He always takes a little extra time with me to play with my hair and try out new styles. Because of him I've tried colors and cuts that I never would have and lets just say - thank god I did. I would follow him anywhere and pay whatever his rates were. They pretty much doubled when he moved to Roy's spot and I'm more than happy to pay every extra penny. He's worth it.

5 Stars: Best Hair Cut in New York-Nathalie Herve (by jojor)

jojor — Tue, 23 Jan 2007 01:00:00 GMT

I have been going to Nathalie for over 10 years now. I have followed her from her beginnings down in the West Village. Her hair cuts are the best I have ever had--the compliments are non stop. I've recommended a whole bunch of people to Nathalie over the years, too. She knows how to read the shape of your face and make the hair cut work. She is metiuclous about her work and it shows. My hair cut lasts for months, too, and it grows in beautifully. The new salon is a fun experience, from getting a manicure while you are getting your hair cut to getting your eyebrows shaped by Duffy.
Call now before Nathalie's appointments book up!

hquennell — Thu, 11 Jan 2007 01:00:00 GMT

I've been going to Nathalie Herve, stylist par excellence, for the past 9 years, following her to 4 different salons, no matter their location. I simply will not go to anyone else for a haircut. Ever. A true professional, Nathalie is consistently thorough, careful, thoughtful and courteous. After an hour with her, my hair always looks great, with every strand in place, and that's saying something, being that my hair is so fine and straight. Once you've experienced a Nathalie Herve haircut, you'll be hooked. Just like me. Check out the other reviews from folks who have followed her from salon to salon. Just like me. And now that she is at the Roy Teeluck Salon, with its great location and friendly ambiance, this just adds to my loyalty.

laura_nyc — Wed, 10 Jan 2007 01:00:00 GMT

I have been going to this salon for about a year now. Benoit does an awesome job. I went to him because I needed a change. He has an amazing talent with his colors and highlights and takes the time to consult with you on what you want. He also is honest about what will work with your skin tone, face shape etc. I get so many compliments on my hair for both the color and highlights. I have never been so happy with my hair. I have been trying to get this color for a long time and no one else was able to do it. The highlights are just as awesome. He was able to do exactly what I wanted with or without a picture. He is fun on top of all of his talent. He is very creative and funny. If you want a creative style -go see Benoit. He is awesome. Everyone is friendly at the salon. Its a great atmosphere.

I highly recommend Lauren. A true artist at her craft! Emily is also a very cool, and kind person...her cuts are refreshing and very percise. Jackie is the best front desk person I have ever met at a salon. ...alway has a upbeat attitude and w/ a smile on her face.
Lauren, Emily, and Jackie thank you for a great time there and the wonderful services you all provided.

I have had my hair done by Tim for almost 8 years. I will never go to anyone else. I have followed him all over the city and I will continue to follow him! My mother comes from North Carolina a few times a year to have her hair done by Tim. My boyfriend also sees Tim. No matter what kind of hair you have he will be able to get your hair to do what you want it to. I am an actress and a model. Tim has taken my hair from blonde to black and long to super short and I have always looked amazing! Tim is also a very sweet man who is very down to earth.

5 Stars: Superb Color by Tim Johnson (by sdp745)

sdp745 — Sat, 06 Jan 2007 01:00:00 GMT

I'm a huge fan of Tim's and I've followed him from TriBeCa to the Lower East Side and, now, to Roy Teeluck Salon on E. 57th Street. Tim's color is superb - and his vision is exceptional. He took me from an ordinary over-highlighted blonde to a gorgeous, subtle shade of golden tones that simply glow. He is a wonderful listener who wants to know what you think before he gives you his own expert ideas. More than once, strangers have stopped to ask me who does my color.
I love Tim's new home at Roy Teeluck. The staff is professional, low pressure, friendly and attentive but thoughtful enough to let you sit quietly and just relax when you feel the need. There's nothing better than sitting upstairs, looking out the huge window over the glowing midtown cityscape while Tim works his magic.

Lauren is an excellent and well trained color specialist. I was unsure which way to go with my hair color and Lauren really read me, and created beautiful highlights in my hair. She was fun to chat with and made the time pass quickly. Dora at the salon is also great and in no time turned a regular blowout into a glamorous and fun hairdo. I was pleasantly surprised with how trendy yet friendly and down to earth the stylists and salon are.

I have followed Nathalie from one salon to another because of her haircutting expertise and personality. She is a delightful person, and obviously loves what she is doing. She never assumes. Each time she asks "what did you have in mind today?" I look forward to seeing her, watching her perform her artistry, and always walk out feeling happier about my appearance than when I entered. In addition I have had many compliments from others. The salon staff are friendly and the environment unintimidating which is not always the case in New York City.

Nathalie Herve is incredibly detailed with every last strand of hair and takes as much time as she needs to perfect her work of art... and it is a work of art. This pro goes out of her way making your cut worth every penny and believe me, I've spent double on celebrity hair dressers who have butchered me to the point of tears. I'm picky and Nathalie never lets me down. The salon is 100% customer service.

I was visiting a friend in the city this past xmas when I came across a hair salon on E. 57th. Of course my friend told me about it but i said what the heck I'll go by anyway! As soon as you get off the elevator you're greeted by friendly faces at the front desk. A blonde gal with gorgeous curls and a tall brunette! After my color with michelle I headed over to the woman they call "the eyebrow slayer". You must go it's truly an experience! Next time I'm in town I will make an appointment I might even bring my friends along and make it a day of beauty! Thanks Roy Teeluck Salon for giving me one of the best experiences I've had in many years!

dk123 — Fri, 15 Dec 2006 01:00:00 GMT

HI, Well I never wrote a review online...but I don't know another way to best get my point across to people in need of a extraordinary NYC Colorist...Benoit is the name!!! I have been coloring my hair for 7years. Hair color is very important to me..hair maintenence, health of my hair is very important to me.. I have been to Colorists top colorists in London, France, L.A, Boston, NY, and Hong Kong, so called "top" colorists to celebrities etc. blah blah blah..I've spend tons of money for my hair color and most of them damaged my hair with single process, gave me very fake looking blonde, and one even bleached my hair so much to get me the "beach color blonde" that my hair fell out..I always running back and forth to get my roots done., and still my hair looked not shiny and like frizzy hay strands.. Until I by accident discovered Benoit.. I had just permanently moved to New York and was looking around Citysearch..this website gave Benoit enormous praise, and ALL highly reccomended him.. I thought "yeah right" this must be a hoax, to get people to come to him... But it still stuck in my head "wow so many people love Benoit".. I was getting Laser Hair removal on 57th when by accident i went to the wrong floor and found myself in RoyTeeluck salon.i remember the name from citysearch walked in and decided to take a chance i would never regret.This gorgous tall blue eyed man with the greatest sense of humor and warm heart came into my life..he did my lowlites and my highlites (we BOTH agreed that my hair needed dimension due to its all one color brassy look) i dried my hair expecting the worst (as i always been the biggest critic of hair color) i couldnt beleive what a beauitful natural shiny golden color he gave me..something i always saw in magazines and wanted I now had BUT BETTER...I have the most perfect golden color it looks so natural& matched my skin tone so much better making me instantly tanner. Thank you Benoit. I look for to seeing you in 3 weeks xoxo

I had a fabulous experience at The Roy Teeluck Salon. Everything was superb- the friendly receptionist, the coat check girl, shampoo girl, colorist, stylist and eyebrow shaper. First, I met with Duffy for an eyebrow shaping. It was my first shaping and she did a lovely job- beautiful shape, was very soft-handed and very friendly. She explained exactly what she had done and how to maintain the shape. Then, I met with Benoit- he was very professional and had a very happy, upbeat attitude. And my color came out gorgeous!!..he gave me the perfect shade of chocolate brown. Then, I met with Mie for a haircut- she was so friendly that I felt like I knew her for years! She cut my hair and blew it out perfectly. I just absolutely love, love, love my hair!! Thanks to the Roy Teeluck staff!! I can't wait for my next visit.

I have not found a more phenomenal hair colorist who seems to know exactly what I want before I say it. I've been loyal to Benoit for two years now and that's not without reason. For me, everywhere I've gone it's always been the case of having to specify exactly what to do and how to do it to get the look I'm after. With Benoit, I tell him to keep it glamour and have to say no more. The salon is spectacular; with a very hip atmosphere and with highly talented and friendly people, The Roy Teeluck Salon is an awesome experience. Anyone who goes there will love it and keep coming back.

I went to Roy Teeluck yesterday and had the time of my life! Everyone there is friendly, inviting, and professional. Tim Johnson gave me gorgeous, natural highlights and a beautiful cut. I felt like a princess, or more aptly, like what picasso's canvas must have felt like. These people are artists! He really listened to what I wanted done, and my highlights turned out better than Mother Nature could have done herself. The cut is perfect too! Tim is the master, and I highly recommend his services, as well as his company! I can't wait to go back.
In addition, Duffy did a wonderful job with my eyebrows (which is no easy feat) and made me feel so comfortable that I enjoyed every minute of it. Lan did a beautiful job with my nails, and gave me a hand massage in the process. She even picked out a beautiful color which was just what I was looking for. These folks are the best! Thank you Tim and Emily!!!

When she finished with me I finally had the kind of layers and life I?d wanted ? and that was even though she was having to fix a terrible cut. Lana fixed my terrible color, and gave me bright blonde highlights with no brassiness. Go to these gals. You?ll never regret it.

acatrix — Wed, 13 Dec 2006 01:00:00 GMT

I have been many different colors in my life...red, black, brunette with highlights....you name it, I've been it. I have been on a quest to safely get back to a great, flattering blonde. Michelle Fury did just that for me. A long ago trip to another high-end salon left my wallet very light and my hair very damaged. They took me from burgundy to super blonde in one session, not something I would reccomend for anyone. After that, I never thought I would be able to be blonde again. When I told all my woes to Michelle, she put me very much at ease. I have now see her twice, and I am so happy with the results. My hair is blonder, healthier, and all around fabulous. She didn't go too drastic at one time, and as a result, I am happier with the color and condition of my hair than I have been in a long time. Thank you Michelle, for making my curls more Sarah Jessica Parker and less of a mess!!!!

If you have had bad haircuts, and I have, you know the difference at the first snip. You have to make an appointment with Nathalie Herve to experience the very best cut period. I've been with her for 10 years.
Trying various salons with some fair cuts along the way. I have to say that my hair is difficult to cut because it's very curly. Most hairdressers are not comfortable with cutting my hair they find it overwhelming. The very first cut from Nathalie it was a dream come true. Of course she is a beauty, so much fun that you want the cutting experience to last for hours.

I have followed her around town to each salon she has relocated. I am absolutely devoted to her. As others have said, she is *meticulous*. The other day she spent an hour and fifteen minutes just cutting my hair (no use of a blowdryer--and don't expect one; Nathalie doesn't dry and you don't need it after she cuts your hair because your hair will dry beautifully with your new cut!).

5 Stars: THE HERMES OF HAIRCUTTING (by mboosnano)

mboosnano — Sat, 02 Dec 2006 01:00:00 GMT

Roy Teeluck or the Hermes of Haircutting. When I got a call from my artiste haircutter Natalie (and I do mean "artiste"), that she just joined a really sensational haircutting salon, I was a bit skeptical since the past endeavors of Natalie to find the perfect salon fit to her own style of artistic haircutting was rather mediocre, I was a bit curious to find out which lion's den she ended up with. I have been a client of Natalie for the past 7 years, and I have STAUNCHLY refused to let anybody touch my hair for fear of losing the Natalie touch. If my artiste is happy she does a fabulous unique job on me; as an artiste, if she is miserable, I dreaded her work on my hair. When I first entered the salon, I just knew this was the perfect fit a home for Natalie. From the haircolorist ( and I have NEVER in my 40 years colored my hair) to the coat check woman is utmost perfection, professionialism and esthetic.The Roy Teeluck Salon is not your commercial model T haircutting salon. When you go there, you are in for a treat and come out looking like a treat. My Hermes watch is a special touch to my worn out jeans. My Natalie Herve haircut is the perfect esthetic touch to my professional look. (independent and esthetic). Hermes and Herve. Classic touches which I would NEVER change. Herve finding a home with Roy Teeluck. I am thrilled and look forward to my next appointment. This is my "luck"...Best to you Roy Teeluck and Natalie Herve!

Roy Teeluck offers a great salon experience from start to finish (seriously, go in the morning and begin with a cup of their delicious coffee!) The staff is friendly , professional and aims to please. The space is serene, stylishly decorated and very clean. I get my cuts and highlights from Tim, and he does a fabulous job every time.

5 Stars: Nathalie's Golden Scissor Hands! (by lorenzodeparis)

lorenzodeparis — Fri, 01 Dec 2006 01:00:00 GMT

Nathalie HERVE is a rare asset in this salon.
Once you have tried her, it is hard to go back to any other stylist.
She has a unique way of cutting your hair with extreme precision, well defined lines, grace and refinement.
She leaves your hair finding a natural style that remains structured for months. That is the key, a sort of understated organic elegance.
Trained in the French tradition of 'La Coupe', she will give your scalp the most professional attention and invention.
Another creative word for hair stylist in French is 'visagiste', this terminology suits her even better as she really finds the right cut that accentuates your best features.
Besides, she is a charming person of distinctive taste and exudes a warm soothing energy.
Be ready for a unique experience. With Nathalie, you are in good hands, in golden hands!

3 Stars: Natalie gives a wonderful haircut and is lovely to deal with. (by fessie)

They don't push their products and don't have an attitude, yet you feel pampered. Natalie gives a great haircut and has a great French accent too.

5 Stars: THE BEST SALON IN NYC (by 1cupcake)

1cupcake — Fri, 01 Dec 2006 01:00:00 GMT

Honestly, there are many affluent salons in the city (and I have tried a few), BUT, until I found Andre & Benoit I thought FANTASTIC & FABULOUS cuts and color didn't exist under one roof. No offense to other stylists, but these guys certainly deserve their high praise. I always had dark hair, now my color is honey blonde...I still can't believe it...THE COMPLIMENTS KEEP COMING & I OWE IT TO THESE TWO GENIUSES!!!

No one should question Benoit's suggestion for color (if you are skeptical, he will not guide you wrong, he is a mastermind when it comes to color that compliments you). Before you start, he will discuss the steps of the color treatment to make you comfortable & during your process he will discuss tips for maintaining your color and even offer styling and care suggestions at the end.

Andre reminds me of Edward Scissorhands...once you sit at his station (overlooking the street below) you will not only get a haircut that is EYE CATCHING you will leave looking 100x better.

I HAVE NOTHING MORE TO ADD EXCEPT THIS IS A TRUE DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH (P.S. You should definately try the cappuccinos which are delicious).

5 Stars: GO SEE TIM! (by citigrl88)

citigrl88 — Thu, 30 Nov 2006 01:00:00 GMT

I have been with Tim since he was at Lappin Paoli and he is fantastic. Especially if you give him a picture of what you want, he will make your hair look exactly as it does in the pic. He is truly gifted. Everytime I see Tim, I leave the salon looking and feeling like a hundred bucks... I am so happy to have found him at Roy Teeluck. The salon's location is perfect for those that work in midtown. The staff at the salon is very accomodating and efficient as well.

Nathalie has been my stylist for almost 5 years - she is the only one who can tame my thick wavy hair - and I love that her cuts do not need any fussing with to look great. While I would follow Nathalie anywhere, I'm glad she's at Roy Teeluck - the salon is very nice - very accomodating reception, friendly staff, convenient, and reasonable prices for cuts considering the neighborhood.

Andre has being doing my hair for years and never ceases to amaize me! He is always ahead of the trend! Andre's talent and advice has definatly played a major role in the maintenance of my carear as a model in the fashion industry.
From hair colouring advice to hair weaving to hair
cutting to hair styling. Is there anything this man does not know how to do? I think not!
And ladies, who doesn't like being told by both staff and fellow clients how great you are looking after a mere hair wash! Roy's Salon is a marvelously comfortable and relaxing experience...
And Andre Davis has been and always will be a pure gem!

nikmar1 — Mon, 20 Nov 2006 01:00:00 GMT

I probably had one of my best haircutting experiences at Roy Teeluck Salon today. Having had a baby half a year ago, I came in feeling drabby, tired and ready for a change. My stylist Emily immediately picked up on what I wanted with my hair and created an amazing style and cut for me. I walked out feeling refreshed and really happy!

4 Stars: All great except the owner (by beaj)

beaj — Mon, 20 Nov 2006 01:00:00 GMT

Everyone at the salon is nice as can be, with the excpetion of Roy. The desk staff is the nicest I have experienced, the colorists are great, Duffy is a doll as are many of the other stylist. Roy has a terrible attitude and there is no point in even having a discussion with him because in his book- the customer is always wrong. I also think it's a bit cheesy for him to take a tip as he is the owner of the salon and charges accordingly and if you book the last appointment he does not stay to see the end result of the haircut, so if you need an adjustment- to bad on you.
Use all the other folks and you'll have a great experience.

5 Stars: best colors! (by pam_s_ny)

Terrific! Specializing in color, pleasant, all around one of the BEST!!!! I have been to many salons in my time but ROY TEELUCK SALON (Benoit color master) is the answer to my search. I am so satisfied and I recommend him highly!

5 Stars: Best Stylist in NY! (by ct8)

ct8 — Mon, 13 Nov 2006 01:00:00 GMT

I have been going to Nathalie Herve for nine years now and I will NEVER go to anyone else. All of my friends know that I go where Nathalie goes. I have followed her everywhere and now I have moved with her to the Roy Teeluck Salon. While the salon is very nice, the best part about it now is that they have Nathalie as one of their top stylists!

I have had short hair for a long time and I trust no one else with it. Nathalie is the queen of precision and takes the time to shape my style to perfection. She is one of very few stylists who cuts hair dry. I always receive compliments on my haircut, even when it is six to eight weeks old. She cuts it in a way that it takes me two minutes in the morning to style.

Roy Teeluck is very lucky to have Nathalie! Not only is she a perfectionist when it comes to hair, she is also very kind and outgoing. All of her clients end up developing great friendships with her, which speaks to her bubbly personality. Nathalie is very dedicated and considerate to her clients, always informing us of any future trips or vacations so that we may schedule our appointments accordingly.

If you are dissatisfied with your stylist or want a new look, go see Nathalie! I promise you'll never end up going to another stylist again...

msbaker — Mon, 13 Nov 2006 01:00:00 GMT

I am normally very loyal to my usual hairdresser. However, after hearing about Roy Teeluck and meeting one of its fabulous owners (Roland), I decided to take a chance on a new hairstylist... and I'm so glad that I did! Natalie was great. She was experienced and passionate about her work, and she really listened to my expectations. I remember her saying that if the cut is really good, then I shouldn't have to spend time styling it... and she was right! I'm glad I decided to switch salons. The entire staff was friendly and the vibe is lively. I definitely recommend them to people with all types of hairstyles. Thanks Roland!!!

5 Stars: THE BEST ! (by n_nyc)

n_nyc — Mon, 13 Nov 2006 01:00:00 GMT

After a couple of years of trying various salons around 57th street , I decided to give Roy Teeluck salon a try due to the great reviews. I called and spoke with Benoit and explained that my hair was a mess and I really needed someone who had patience and great talent! His telephone manner was superb. He instantly made me feel like he could help me in spite of what I had done to my hair. He is very talented with his "color shaker ,painting board and tint brush". You can tell he knows what he is doing, he is very businesslike and he listens. He also took the time to explain and discuss hair problems and solutions. He gave me a very chic and edgy color, highlights and I loved it. I will absolutely return. bravo ROY TEELUCK!

5 Stars: Great Customer Service with best HAIR DESIGNER ever !!! (by debbira)

debbira — Sun, 12 Nov 2006 01:00:00 GMT

Normally I would not have chosen this salon - but because the best haircutter in the world Nathalie Herve,has landed with this salon I have become a happy regular. It all started years ago when I choose another salon and little did I know this wonderful person and hairdresser worked there and would become a part of my life. Not only is she is the best hair person I have ever had the pleasure to work with, she happens to be one of the most delightful people I have ever welcomed into my life!! She is a perfectionist and a true artist - and being left-handed as well just adds icing to this already delicious mix!
I will always go where Nathalie goes, but I hope she remains here for years to come because the salon is truly a lovely, clean and friendly place to visit. Thank you Roy Teeluck for your vision of bringing this gem of a woman to your wonderful salon. I truly cannot say enough about Nathalie - thank you.

larkin_angel — Sat, 11 Nov 2006 01:00:00 GMT

Nathalie has been cutting my hair for years--I would trust no one else. She truly knows how to craft the cut for any type of hair. I would recommend her to anyone--but especially for those with curly or wavy hair. The salon itself is very relaxed while maintaining great services. Friendly staff--you really get taken care of. Duffy does great brows, too.

angela2004 — Fri, 10 Nov 2006 01:00:00 GMT

I have been going to Benoit for a while now and he is just amazing. I have so much confidence in his experience and style that I always let him do whatever he wants and I always come out looking amazing! He always remembers what I like and don't like and always takes the time to do it perfectly. He is very friendly, laidback and not at all snobby like some colorists can be. He gives me his full attention and I always feel special! He does amazing color and highlights, my hair always looks like I naturally have the perfect color! He literally can do everything. If you know what you want or want to give him the reins definately give him a try! You will not be sorry!

5 Stars: Tim Johnson is the best hair stylist around. I won't let anyone else touch my hair. (by zun)

zun — Thu, 09 Nov 2006 01:00:00 GMT

When you walk into this second floor salon you are greeted by the friendly staff. Your coat is taken from you and you are given a robe. Your stylist, who is Tim Johnson if you are lucky enough to get an appointment with him, gets you started. Tim makes you feel at home in their comfortable chairs and discusses what YOU want done with your hair. After the shampoo you are offered water, tea or CAPPACINO! Tim then cuts, colors, and styles your hair with such perfection you won't let anyone else touch it ever again.

3 Stars: Duffy what were you thinking (by svcccrn)

svcccrn — Tue, 07 Nov 2006 01:00:00 GMT

On 11/07/2006 I praised Duffy for her great work on my brows. Four weeks ago I went for a shaping after letting my brows fill out for 6 weeks. When I got home and really had a chance to look @ my eyebrows I could not believe what was left of them. They were tweezed much to thin and their shape was "shapeless" I was horrified. I am still in the process of letting them "grow out" and I cannot let this happen again. Got to start my search for another brow specialist. You did great for awhile Duffy, but sorry we must part.

pam_nyc — Mon, 06 Nov 2006 01:00:00 GMT

My first visit to a salon in New York after moving here from the other coast, and BENOIT at ROY TEELUCK made it a happy one. I am a bit of a diva then it comes to color and highlights, and Benoit worked with me talking through what I like, what I want to do over the next year w/ my hair, and how much maintainence I am willing to do before making his recommendation. The salon was comfortable, down-to-earth and friendly. I loved the "serie expert and power dose" treatment, and I will be purchasing more on my next trip. I highly recommend Benoit Poirier D'Ambreville, i hope i got his name right. :)

5 Stars: Highly recommend stylist Tim Johnson! (by djking00)

djking00 — Sun, 05 Nov 2006 01:00:00 GMT

I have been getting my hair cut by Tim Johnson for years now (he formerly worked at Lappin Paoli in Tribeca). He recently moved to Roy Teeluck salon and I went there for the first time the other day. Tim was fabulous, as usual - he always listens to what I want, asks the right questions, and gives me a haircut I love. The salon was really great too - the people are so nice and acommodating (not snooty at all, unlike many salons), and the atmosphere there is wonderful. I highly recommend the salon - and especially Tim!

5 Stars: A Salon Where You Truly Feel Pampered - and where Tim Johnson makes you look glamorous every time (by medoralawler)

medoralawler — Sun, 05 Nov 2006 01:00:00 GMT

I have spent a lot of money throughout the years on hair, eyebrows, nails, etc in various high and low end places, and I have to say that when I left Roy Teeluck Salon the other day, I felt like I had truly been pampered and had experienced what a salon /spa experience was supposed to be about. I went to it to follow Tim Johnson who I had been going to for hair color at Lappin Paoli for years. Tim was the first person - after many NY colorists I had seen - who knew how to do blonde highlights. He is terrific and I hope has found his niche at this friendly, pampering place. The view is great too.

cyoung21 — Fri, 03 Nov 2006 01:00:00 GMT

Love the Roy Teeluck Salon. Roy has been cutting my hair for years and he is incredibly talented. Benoit does the best color of anywhere I have gone in the city - the perfect blonde color. I've been to other colorists that are THE most recommended for blondes and there is no comparison - he is the best. Andre Davis has given me hair extensions which have made my very fine hair full and long. They're totally natural looking - no one ever knows it's not my hair. And don't forget about Duffy for eyebrows while you are there. Aside from being an absolute doll - she's a woman who loves her work and it shows! Highly recommend!!!!! It's the only place I go now.

5 Stars: great service, talented pros, easy location (by torrese)

torrese — Thu, 02 Nov 2006 01:00:00 GMT

I've been getting my hair cut by Natalie, one of their pros, for many years now. She's been with them since May and they're lucky to have landed her. Naturally, after all these years, my trust of Natalie's skill with a cool looking natural haircut achieved by intricate layering, has only increased. So she's a jewel for them, and the salon itself has a great, no-nonsense vibe. They give you tea, the music is cool, everyone's relaxed with an air of self-confidence that makes it very easy for anyone to get just the look they want. And that's it, glad to have sung their praises for all you hair lovers out there!

5 Stars: fantastic ! (by k_p)

k_p — Wed, 01 Nov 2006 01:00:00 GMT

Benoit highlighted my hair and Andre cut it - and it's gorgeous!! My hair is very dark and very thick, and they were still able to do my hair perfectly! I highly recommend it! It was a bit pricey, but it was worth it!

5 Stars: Tim Johnson: Hands down the best stylist in NYC (by menialfish)

menialfish — Tue, 31 Oct 2006 01:00:00 GMT

I discovered Tim about two years ago, and I fell in love the minute I left his chair and looked in the mirror. I am obsessive about my hair, and Tim is the first person I've ever found who is as detail oriented as I demand. I've had the 20 dollar haircut in Chelsea, and I've had the 200 dollar Madison Ave cut. Tim is by far-and-away the best from any category. He has an amazing ability to see the person behind the hair, and he knows intuitively how to bring out the shape of your face through a precise (but never rigid!) cut. A great personality, a caring soul, (an amazing colorist!) Tim is the man I plan to have cutting my hair till I go to the grave.

5 Stars: Nathalie is a true gem (by caro67)

caro67 — Tue, 31 Oct 2006 01:00:00 GMT

I have been getting my hair cut by Nathalie for over 10 years, so needless to say I am very happy with her! She is a charming, wonderful artist who is able to make you look better -and younger!- with a simple cut. She knows hair, how it will fall and move on each individual, and she always finishes her cut on dry hair. She snips away for one hour and the result is amazing. Her haircuts are low maintenance and they look great. What's more, they grow out beautifully. I have had a lot of compliments from people and completely trust her. As a matter of fact, I never get the exact same haircut, it is more fun letting her surprise me!
I have recommended her to some of my friends, and they have also been hooked by the results.

Nathalie recently joined the Roy Teeluck salon. I like the space, it is cozy and relaxing, on the 2nd floor with huge windows that overlook 57th Street. Everyone working there is very friendly.

tarbox — Sun, 29 Oct 2006 01:00:00 GMT

It's on 57th and Madison, yet friendly as a West Village lair. Most importantly, Tim and his scissors have landed here. Indeed, formerly of Lappin Paoli of Tribeca, Tim is brilliant with those scissors as well as in the dye lab! Plus he listens well and only enhances his clients' hair ideas. I have been seeing Tim for about seven years and speak from (my incredibly positive) experience!

5 Stars: Lana THE best colorist in NYC (by flower1)

flower1 — Sun, 29 Oct 2006 01:00:00 GMT

If you have hair color problems you must see Lana, definitely. Shes's absolutely the best colorist in NYC. Not only on sigle process or highlights but also on redo's as well. She's just fantastic. I sincerely feel for miss "perfectionista" after reading her review. If only she known that the absolutely best was just a few feet away from her at that time. Don't settle for less, just get the best. Lana is (mine) your colorist.

donna_m — Fri, 27 Oct 2006 02:00:00 GMT

Great Place to get Highlights, Lowlights, & Colors. I've gotten so many compliments on my highlights even after a few months and I need a touch up. The color is done so professionally by BENOIT that when it grows out it still looks really good! I highly recommend ROY TEELUCK SALON for your hair care needs

5 Stars: Wonderful Full Service Salon Experience (by annen225)

annen225 — Thu, 26 Oct 2006 02:00:00 GMT

I had a complimentary haircut by a new stylist named Mie and I highly recommend her to all who need a GREAT and lasting haircut. Mei listens to everything you ask her to do.She is not a scissor happy, egotistical stylist who knows better than the client does. She gave me such a good cut that I am still happy and it is now about 3-4 weeks after the fact. She kept the length as I asked and managed to unlayer all the short layers.
Also, when you walk in, even though it is located right across the street from the very upscale Four Seasons Hotel, you are treated like a guest in the home of a friend. Comfy seating, great hair washing chairs and just all around terrific service. Sometimes one can be intimidated by the snooty salons in that part of the city, but not here. Again, I highly recommend it.

5 Stars: The Best Extensions & Styling Ever!!! You must experience Andre!! (by sashay)

sashay — Wed, 25 Oct 2006 02:00:00 GMT

To start, this is the best salon hands down on many levels. The moment you enter the salon you are greeted by the warmest smiles & service. Your worries and tension melt instantly. You are then taken to the back where you can change into your silk robe that protects your clothing. Meanwhile your stylist is told of your arrival. You are offered a beverage of your choice. My favorite stylist hands down is ANDRE. I've been a customer of his for years, and followed him to the Roy Teeluck salon. The salon's relaxing style, combined with Andre's expertise in hair, extensions, etc. is something not to be missed!!! You must see him for a consultation. He can also assess the health of your hair, which is very important, he will treat your hair, style it, extend it, and his hair cuts are to die for. How he transforms your hair with his cuts still amazes me to this day, with or without extensions you will have the best cut around. I guarantee, you too will become a loyal customer of Andre & the Roy Teeluck salon. Enjoy!!!!

After so many bad colors, i started to believe there was no hope until i met the ever so wonderfully talented Mr. Poirier D'ambremille! Now i can walk in and have complete trust that when i leave, my hair will feel and look FABULOUS! I have gotten so many people asking me all over the city where i get my hair done. I would reccomend anyone and everyone who has gotten a bad color. Benoit will change your mind...and your hair for that matter. The salon's relaxing atmosphere and the ROY TEELUCK team makes this salon unlike any other in the city!

I have been getting my hair colored, and highlights from BENOIT for about 2 years. People stop me in the elevators, the bus, doctors office, on the street, and ask me who does my hair. I should be his personal public relations representive. I change my clothes everyday, but I cann't change my hair everyday. I do not need to. He does a fabulous job of helping me look very contempary, and feel good about my image. I am a financial consultant, and I need to represent myself as very confident. Thanks to BENOIT I meet that need. He's a skilled professional. He just has a great way of seeing into my style, and making it fit. He always goes out of his way to get me into his very busy schudule.

My booker at Ford models has always raved about Andre Davis, and I finally made an appointment. He is a weave master! My hair is definately suffering from daily styling, and he was able to "put my own hair away" for a while and gave me beautiful tresses. It's amazing--you can not see any separation in the hair like you do on so many women, or any evidence that it is not my own. He does such careful, expert work, and his styling is just as perfect--I wish I could take him with me to every job! I'm getting married in May and I've already booked him!

ntusk — Sat, 14 Oct 2006 02:00:00 GMT

Nathalie Herve loves to cut hair. She is a perfectionist who spends a full hour with each client to make sure the cut works from every angle. Her cuts are so good that if you don't have timne at home, to blowdry your hair, you can just go out with a wet head and know when your hair dries on its own you will still be more than presentable.

The colorists are also outstanding, especially Benoit. He looks at your skin and eye color and knows exactly what tones will work best for you. He is originally from France and has trained all over Europe to perfect his techniques.

Everone who works there is warm and friendly, and they also make great cappuccino.

I've been coming here for 1 year now and its AWESOME! I recommend all my friends to come here. Its definately a bargain for what your getting: trained staff, friendly atmosphere and if your worried about sales pressures, the hair stylists will tell you what products they put in your hair and in the end ask you if you need anything else and thats it. The hair color and highlights by Benoit are great, he put a lot of time into making it good. He gets booked up fast, so call atleast 2 weeks ahead of time to get the date and time you want.

Have you ever seen those shampoo commercials with those girls that have that long silky thick hair... Well now I'm one of those girls. I was a little unsure at first but they put me at ease and even though I did it for my wedding, I don't think my husband wants me to ever take them out. The color done by BENOIT is a perfect match, its amazing, I love it. It is so worth the time and money, its not cheap but I'm hooked on the looks and compliments. ANDRE ,I love you! thx ROY TEELUCK SALON !

5 Stars: My "natural" color !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (by nora1980)

nora1980 — Tue, 10 Oct 2006 02:00:00 GMT

I have been going to ROY TEELUCK SALON on a regular basis for about 1 year and have great experiences to rave about! First off, I am particular about my hairtranslation hard to please in a hair salon. I have a SMOOTHER put in my hair annually, and I have Color and cuts in between. The best is that I am always complimented on My natural color. One great thing about Benoit is that he believes in training and keeping up with the latest technology. He travels globally to keep abreast of all the latest trends, attending fashion shows. I love that my hair is in such great condition even after coloring and straighenting it. Also, there are several experienced stylist in varying price ranges to choose from. its great to be able to just get a style for the weekend at a reasonable price. The salon is well managed making it a professional yet fun environment. I love my hairthank you ROY TEELUCK.

You must ask for BENOIT when you go for your precision natural highlights at this fine establishment. I couldn't ask for a better hair professional to take care of my hair care needs. He has talent plus and will listen to you like no other colorist. He is the BEST! I love this salon. loreal profesionnals products are the icing on the cake.

5 Stars: Best men's haircut in a great salon (by benpeck)

benpeck — Mon, 09 Oct 2006 02:00:00 GMT

Maybe 10 years ago I had the good luck to find the perfect men's haircutter in Nathalie Herve, and I've followed her ever since through a handful of salons to the best one yet, Roy Teeluck. Nathalie, tres francaise, takes a full hour and gets it perfect every time, just the way I want it cut. Professional, very likeable, and highly skilled... what else can you want? Neither cheap nor fast, just perfect. The salon, also professional but without the chaos, noise, and smell of some salons, makes the perfect setting for the jewel that is Nathalie! Highly recommended.

I had really messed my hair up, on a Saturday, of all times! I went to ROY TEELUCK SALON, they were all so busy with clients, but one of the desk person came to me immediately and offered assistance, he asked me if I could wait a few minutes, he would get my situation handled, and not to worry! And that they did...I have never been happier with my hair highlights done by BENOIT, but more important than my hair, was the fact that they took time for me! BENOIT is great, and ROY TEELUCK serve great coffee too!!!!!!

5 Stars: MIE - The Super Hair Sculptor at Roy's Salon (by marjorieocho)

marjorieocho — Fri, 06 Oct 2006 02:00:00 GMT

To experience Mie's hair styling artistry is well worth it. She's THE hair sculptor and much, much more. From the minute I walked into the salon, I felt right at home. The staff is congenial and the energy of the salon made me feel at ease. Kudos to Roland and Roy for understanding your client's busy schedules. Mie met me right away and sat me down to chat first before starting any work on my hair. She has the magic wand of styling, especially with my long locks. As a voiceover and visual artist, she listened to my requests for a look that works both on and off camera. Amazing! What a transformation. No matter what length your hair is right now, Mie can be trusted and I highly recommend her. I love my new look! Thanks Mie!

I have been looking for a place for a long time, I finally ended up at Roy Teeluck salon. The staff is curteous and caring, I feel like home when I get there. My hair colorist is Benoit, I am very happy with the color he did on my hair. He knows what he is doing. He follows the trend and changes my color according to that and he is so much fun. Roy is a great artist and he is the coolest guy.
I highly reccomend the salon for everybody. For color and cut. Last but not the least they make the best blowdry in town.

Well there loss. He did a wonderful new color on me and hightlights. He is ver maticulous so be prepared to sit for a while.

cosmopolitan2006 — Sun, 01 Oct 2006 02:00:00 GMT

I found roy teeluck salon on Citysearch and thought I'd give it a try since the ratings were so good. I'm so glad I did. Benoit took the time to make me feel comfortable and ask me questions - and I ended up with a color that look great and suit me and my lifestyle. Even though I ended up buying all the products to keep the color look fresh , I never felt pressured to do so. The atomosphere is easy-going ,posh and trendy and everyone is friendly. Benoit and the roy teeluck's team your're the best!!

I went to roy teeluck as a recomendation from a friend. The first time I came in, i wanted color. andre had just finished doing hair extensions on the client ahead of me and they looked fabulous. I told him i had been thinking about getting them for a long time, but didn't know if they would look good on me. He and benoit were so informative, even on the downfalls and the benefits. Benoit colored my hair as planned, and i told andre i would think about the extensions. A week later i came in and got them done and couldn't be more thankful. They look great, and didn't take forever.Andre was so friendly, by the end of my experience, i felt like we were andre ,benoit and i the best friends!!!!!!!

5 Stars: Best Haircut Anywhere (by home3275)

home3275 — Thu, 28 Sep 2006 02:00:00 GMT

Nathalie has been cutting my hair for years and I don't know what I would do without her. When I lived in Paris, I used to fly back to NYC to get my hair cut by Nathalie because I couldn't find anyone who could do it as well as she could. My hair is curly and when it gets cut it wants to look like it just got cut, Nathalie makes it look like it always looks good. It looks natural and it suits me perfectly. I would rather let my hair grow long than let anyone else cut it for me. Nathalie is an artist and she will make you look perfect. Roy Teeluck Salon has acquired a gem.

5 Stars: Benoit is the BEST!!!!!!! (by sarahotchick16)

I have been to dozens of stylists over the years -- most of the time, after the second or third color, they don't seem to get it anymore or really care. Benoit has been a godsend. Everytime I am there he get gets it right. If I am bringing someone, he will tell me to sit down and he will just touch things up gratis. Benoit is the best

5 Stars: Best artist in NYC! (by micky64)

micky64 — Wed, 27 Sep 2006 02:00:00 GMT

Benoit is a great colorist who truly is an artist. He performed a makeover on a beautiful young girl. He deftly erased 3" of dull regrowth into a butterscotch blond with ribbons of butter blond. With each swipe of his brush the hair came alive right in front of everyones eyes. It truly was magazine worthy. Mr. Benoit has been featured in many fashion magazines. I'm excited for him to do my hair next week. Madison avenue chic meets funky downtown.

5 Stars: Wonderful Time!!! (by anderson01)

anderson01 — Tue, 26 Sep 2006 02:00:00 GMT

I've been seeing Benoit for over a year and I just found out about CitySearch, I would have written him a review MONTHS AGO had I known I could, since I will NEVER be going to get my hair done by ANYONE ELSE! For starters, EVERYONE in the salon is friendly and fun and the could-be-regular or even scary hair experience has become fun and something I look forward to. Benoit is the best. He always listens, he's talented and he knows what he is doing more than any other stylist I had in the past. He is very creative and loves to enjoy what he is doing and so change is always welcomed. His talent for fashion and current trends is impeccable and more than anything, he makes sure that whatever color he gives you fits your being as well as fits your lifestyle. You can really feel he understands YOU and doesn't just color your hair automatically. I don't spend too much time on my hair and he knows it as he is giving me color that's low matanence to manage. His tips will surprise you and are extremely easy to follow... I can't ask for anything more. What can I say... it's very refreshing to walk into a hair salon and feel no cattiness, no attitude. At Roy Teeluck's, you can see that all the team get along with each other, what a concept!!! They actually enjoy working there and love each other. I always make sure to make my appointment before a dinner date or an event or a night out because I already know Benoit will make me look so great, I always walk out of there in a good mood, full of confidence and, yes, I always get compliments, that hasn't failed yet. I say Benoit is the best. I am very glad to write this review and actually - I now going to make an appointment!

As serendipity had it, I found an ad for The Roy Teeluck Salon in a guide for NY tourists. Something about the photo of the interior and the description of the place spoke to me, so I decided to give it a go. What a lovely experience! Friendly, competent Mie evened out the layers and created a style which earned many compliments. I've since been back for a brow-shaping from Duffy, a woman who treats her work as an art.

Both the physical environment and the human environment are warm, welcoming, and inspiring.
I also like the fact that Roy supports a number of philanthropic organizations by donating his services.

Benoit is a creative genius! He knew how to resolve the multiple problems with my hair color after many others unsuccessful attempts. For the past eighteen months his single process and highlight/lowlight process has been amazingly perfect. He has changed my look so that I always feel great about my appearance.

Andre's cuts and styling are always perfection! He pays attention to my facial features and the image I want to present as creates the best styles. I smile every time he has completed my hair. My hair is the best it has ever looked.

You will find yourself going back to her every month.

It's simple. I go to one place and get a fabulous cut from Roy. Michele or Benoit take care of my color perfectly, and Benoit has literally changed my hair and look with the Xtenso relaxer treatment. I never touch my brows now, only Duffy is allowed. I'm always greeted warmly, served a great espresso drink, tea or water and always look great when I walk out. Truly the best salon experience ever.

Amazing. When I was done with my color I was off to Emily for a style and she was great . Emily took the time to give me some pointers in styling my hair. Great team.

5 Stars: Best Hair Stylist/Cutter or "Barber" in Manhattan (by danteinlove)

danteinlove — Fri, 08 Sep 2006 02:00:00 GMT

Ladies (and Gentlemen),

My "Cutter" (or Stylist if you prefer) "Natalie H." of Roy Tee Luck knows what she is doing. As a 40 yo Manhattan Man I thought a normal, neighborhood Barber was sufficient for my head. Not so. Natalie gave me a natural look, with a highly professional style, and she has a very methodical, trusting way about her. Husbands, Wives, Girl, Boyfriends, Bosses, Assistants or Travelers, treat your self and your others to a Cutting here - with Natalie (or... another Stylist). My first visit was thru a friend's gift certificate, and after 2 visits with her, I'll never go back to a Barber - it's well worth my improved appearance - and self-confidence. Cudos to Roy, Roland, Natalie, and Team! PS: Tuck's location - Midtown 50s @ Park/Madison - is very convenient too.

I have gone to a bunch of great stylists throughout the tri-state area, but she is the best. This relaxed and unpretenious, yet hip salon is truely a great find in midtown.

Duffy does incredible eyebrows and Roy has truly given me the best haircuts I've ever had. He is really, really talented and just the loveliest person. When he is out of town, though, I go to Natalie Herve who is fabulous! And Dora gives possibly the best blowdries in NYC.

Even a girl on a budget can get great color! When it comes to my hair, I'm ultra fussy and very few colorists have gotten it right! I heard about Lauren through a friend of mine - lucky me! Lauren listened to me, made recommendations and turned me into a beauty! She got it right! And her prices are great! I really appreciate the attention she gave me. To top off my day, she recommended Mie for a haircut. She was also terrific and I left there ready to go out and show it all off. The salon is very nice and very comfortable. Make sure to have a cappucino when you visit!

Nathalie has been cutting my hair for 9 years. Her cuts are truly a work of art. I am cursed with fine, lifeless hair. However, when Nathalie is done, I am transformed. Her cuts make me look like I have thick hair with alot of body. She is worth my two hour trek into NYC not to mention the many compliments I receive on my hair. Roy Teeluck salon is full of energy and the staff is terrific. I highly recommend the experience!!

5 Stars: NATHALIE HERVE now at Teeluck (by designvision)

designvision — Sat, 19 Aug 2006 02:00:00 GMT

Known by many as "The BEST Stylist/Haircutter" in New York City, Ms. Nathalie Herve can now be found at Roy Teeluck Salon. She is strictly a word-of-mouth treasure, as she is quiet and modest about her BIG TALENT. Ms Herve has a keen eye and the experience to back it up. A wise client will give Nathalie some helpful "personal hair-related likes and dislikes" and then allow Ms. Herve to work her sophisticated magic to perfection. If you value a scissors cut that is precise, perfectly blended, and which will reveal you looking your very best, request an advance appointment with Ms. Herve. You will be thrilled with her results!

5 Stars: really pleased (by beebiitis)

beebiitis — Wed, 16 Aug 2006 02:00:00 GMT

In January my best friend gave a birthday present - a cut and color at the salon. I had not done much to my hair for a while, just letting it grow and coloring the roots at home. I really liked the cut which refreshed my look and was easy to maintain at home and got me compliments left and right. The best part is - I just had a general idea what I would like and let the stylist do the rest. The outcome was amazing. Lauren put some lowlights in my overbleached blond hair to bring it closer to my natural dark blonde. I went back recently to put in highlights and am very pleased with the results. I have recommend this place to my friends for both very good job they do to meet your expectations and nice atmosphere that makes a visit truly relaxing experience.

In an effort to support the economy, I decided to treat myself to a new do for spring ? and I?m so happy I did ? both the economy and I are looking better! Sandra literally fixed my color ? it was ok but really dull and we both agreed that it needed a perk for spring! She listened and didn?t try to sell me on something I didn?t want. That?s really important to me. Too many times, I get home with something that?s not me. Next, Gabriel cut my hair and he?s a genius. What I really like about this salon besides the cool, friendly vibe, was that the colorist and stylist talk to you and to each other so that everyone gets what the goal is. To top off my day, I had a manicure with the sweet Edith. How great is it to get your nails done while sitting there with color! What a time saver! Thank you Roy Teeluck Salon for giving me back my perk!

I have been to the best of the "hot" salons: Bumble & Bumble, Warren Tricomi, Louis Licari and Fredrick Fekkai. They were good but not fabulous! Roy Teeluck salon in every aspect was Fabulous! I

Lauren and Seki worked on my hair color. They worked with highlights and lowlights on my blonde hair. The end result was stunning golen locks! To achieve the blonde I wanted was not easy, but they did a superb job! Off I went to Ronnie for my trendy cut. All I had to do was to convey to Ronnie what I wanted and away went her scissors. Ronnie created a piece of art. My hair was real edgy and shaggy, and of course, sexy. Hence, the overall experience at the salon was an A+.

An AMAZING experience! This salon offered the most inviting, enjoyable, and sexiest ambiance (superlatives one usually does not apply to a salon), without a bit of the pomposity that might be expected given the careful attention and suberb quality you receive at the Roy Teeluck salon. All this is probably due to the conscientious finesse of the staff. Lauren gave me BEAUTIFUL highlights and applied some treatments that brought the anemic nest that was my hair back to life. For a cut, definitely see Roanni- she got to know my hair better than I did in the short time I was there and snipped and styled until I looked like a movie star! Went back for highlights with Lauren and a haircut with Mea and was just as impressed this time with the look of uncontrived glamour they gave me. I received countless compliments on my look afterwards.

I found the salon by chance. Wow! I have only superlatives to describe this salon.

Emily understood immediately how I wanted my thick, wavy hair cut. The cut is perfect.
I have never been so relaxed during a haircut. It falls into place and I can style it myself without problems. She is a friendly and warm person.!

My hair color was done by Lauren. This is the first colorist who understood my natural dark blonde color. She blended the color perfectly. She took into consideration my natural color and my skintone/eye color. She is a very nice lady.

The entire salon experience is low-key, friendly, efficient and I received excellent service. I would recommend this salon without hesitation. The front desk staff are also very helpful and friendly.

I had a wonderful experience at the Roy Teeluck Salon! I found the staff to be professional and very talented as well as kind and friendly. I had my hair highlighted by Michele and then had a conditioning treatment followed by a haircut with Zeki. Besides being transformed, they really educated me on how to maintain it myself - both the color and the cut. I even got a customized shampoo just for my hair color! Even the assistants were knowledgeable and offered advice on taking care of my hair. I am very happy with my hair and plan to be back for more! I might even get eyelash extensions on my next visit! :)

1 Stars: THEY SCREWED UP MY HAIR (by teglasianita)

teglasianita — Mon, 12 Dec 2005 01:00:00 GMT

I got my hair permed there and a week later had to cut off 5-6 inches as it got fried and the salon would not refund my money in teh least rather kept telling me that it was my fault for not following their instructions in conditioning etc. They have horrible business manners.

I would never recommend them or go there again!!!!

1 Stars: Worst Hair Color (by perfectionista)

For my wedding, I wanted the best color & cut. Benoit convinced me to go for chunky highlights. I kept emphasizing a more natural look- nothing trendy/outrageous, but he insisted that the chunky highlights would look natural. I ended up looking like a tiger with black & orange stripes, far from natural. My hair was a complete disaster, and I cried for days. Benoit wasn't even available to fix the color before my wedding.

As for my haircut, Roy did a great job with my long locks. But when I decided to chop my hair after the wedding, Roy failed to meet my expectations. My haircut consisted of 2 different styles: feathery layers on top, blunt cut on bottom. I'm hating my hair so much- and the process of growing it out is painful. I shouldn't have been so forgiving the first time they ruined my hair.

I live in a small city where it is really hard to find a good stylist, let alone one who customizes a cut/color according to hair type, face shape, etc. My cut from Roy is unbelievable--I now fear that I need to travel 450 miles every 8 weeks to keep it in shape. He took a great deal of time to make sure that everything was PERFECT--and it is!!! He then talked about color and suggested a different shade for my highlights. Even though I wasn't scheduled for color, Michele fit me into her schedule and did and incredible job. I loved everything about my experience at this salon--I recommend it to anyone!! See ya in a couple of months, Roy!!

5 Stars: A Great Find! (by lavisitor)

I found this salon based on the recommendation of friend and am lucky I did! My hair was in poor condition - dry and unruly, frizzy and blah. First I met with Benoit who did an Anti-frizz treatment to soften my look and make my hair more manageable - which is exactly what it did. My drying time has been cut in half! He then recommended highlights which I went back for a few weeks later - they are spectacular! Miguel then cut my hair, giving me an easy sophisticated yet edgy, total nyc look. Even the products that they recommended have made my hair much easier to handle. I think this salon rocks and highly recommend it! They are professional and experts in hair - not to mention that they are incredibly nice, no attitude and fairly priced.

5 Stars: I found my Prince :) (by lacosta)

.. and his name is Zeki. He is not only charming but
extremely talented as well. I have never felt so
comfortable with any stylist before. I came to him
just before an event. My girlfriend has been insisting I leave my stylist of 10 years and give Zeki a whirl. I'm so glad I did! He added warmth to my color,
shaped my curls and then gave me an updo fit for a
princess! I have never felt as pretty as I did that
night! It was spectacular! He is a brilliant artist with no pretentions
and I feel lucky to have found him. Zeki is my
Prince!

I have been to a million salons but I have finally found the one that is Just Right! Michele colored my hair to perfection, Roy cut my locks with the greatest of ease and incredible skill, Duffy tweezed my brows so I can now show off my pretty blue eyes.. I'm a new woman! Then, I dragged my shaggy-haired hubby and he's all cleaned up thanks to the magic of Miguel. The salon is beautiful and the cappucino was the best I've had outside of Paris. It's "just right" for this fussy girl!

5 Stars: Roy is great !! (by detigiwa)

As a man, I never paid too much attention to my haircut until I met Roy a few months ago at a party. After my first haircut, I am thrilled beyond belief. I have a great new look, my style is very easy to manage and I am being noticed by everyone around me. The Salon has a great location, the staff is very friendly and the service exceptional.
