      Color - Touch Up
    I've been here twice for color. Well, actually 4 times, because BOTH times, I've had to return to get the color corrected. The first time was the Lifebooker full highlights/cut/oil package - 4 hours (?!?!) later, I walked out of the salon with orangey yellow highlights in my wet hair (there wasn't time for them to dry because I was going to be late for the theater), so I had to return later that week for the color to be toned, the cut, and once I reminded them, the Moroccan oil. Because it turned out ok after the second visit, I returned this week to get my roots done to match my highlighted hair (paying the full salon price of $65). Again, ORANGE. I had to come back later that evening to get it "fixed", but they were only able to lift the color to a bright yellow. They said there was nothing more that could be done, and then I was CHARGED an additional $40 for the product used. The stylist I had, Daria, is super sweet, but the salon is a joke. Commitment to customer satisfaction is non-existent, and I'll never go back.

    I love this salon. At this point I wont let anyone else touch my hair except for Aaron! Everytime I go in I come out looking better than ever. He picks the perfect shade for my highlights and has given me a blow out twice when I didnt even pay for it as an extra.

    Stylist:Julia

    I have been in the city only 6 months and have yet to find a salon that I can go to regularly. I'm so glad that I purchased the Lifebooker deal for Aaron Emanuel Salon. Everyone there was welcoming, warm, and nice! Julia did an exceptional job on my hair and I loved her personality as well. They made me feel like I had been going to this salon forever - and they didn't have to! I was a walk in from Lifebooker and in my past experiences, the salons just treat you differently.

    I will absolutely be back to Aaron Emanuel and am thrilled to recommend them to my friends and family! Thank you so much for making my hair look and feel incredible!!!

    The staff are eager to work hard. And they do! The place is always packed but with the fantastic service and prices the wait isn't long. And while you wait you can relax with a glass of red or white. Great neighborhood salon!

    Staff was super friendly. Cristina, the stylist, showed confidence and made me feel secure about her process and decisions. The result was close to what I had expected, but only not perfect because I asked her to tonner and the result of it wasnt exactly great, but it was my fault. Ill definetly see her again.

      Highlights - Full
    Stylist:Charles

    To be fair and in the interest of full disclosure, I do have long curly hair that cannot be handled as easily as most other hair.

    Cut: He cut it while it was curly, so when it was straight there were a few hairs that were out of place in their length, but it looks good curly.

    Blow Dry: It was good. He worked hard at it, but I think the blowdryer might not have been fantastic. I've had straightening that I was able to maintain longer. Either way this doesn't really bother me because I didn't come for the blow dry, I really came for the highlights.

    Highlights: I specifically waited until I saw my hair curly before I commented on the highlights.

    I want to start off by saying that I thought Charles was a total darling, he was full of energy and definitely cared about me as a client.

    My two issues were:

    1) I had specified that I desired real blonde highlights and didn't want to ease into it, and while there are a few highlights that are blonde, he definitely toned it down more than I would have liked. Granted, I have never done highlights before and he may have second guessed my expressed desire with what he actually thought I wanted. Either way, the highlights aren't as blonde as I would have liked.

    2) This is the main thing I'm not so happy with. My highlights start a good inch from the root, it looks as if my root color has already grown in eventhough I only just got the highlights 3 days ago (if I could I would attach a picture so it can be seen how fair my assessment is). When Charles was blowing out my hair after the highlights, I pointed this out to him to which he said that it was the baby hairs in the front that couldn't be highlighted. It's very noticable and I asked some friends who have highlights and they said that it's not true and that the highlights shouldn't be starting this far back.

    So generally, I'm fine with the "do", I don't think it looks ugly. What I'm unhappy with is the thought that you pay a good chunk of cash for not getting what you want. If I had the funds I woud have to go back to fix the front inch that was missed and to brighten the overall color. It's really a shame because other than that it was a very nice experience at a clean, professional salon.

      Blow Dry | I've been coming to Nancy for 15 years. I now live in London but still schedule blow drys & cuts with her at Aaron Emmanuel whenever I know I'll be in town. She's the only stylist I know who can cut and blow dry VERY thick, curly, & frizzy hair and over the years has become a good friend in addition to a talented stylist and colorist.
    Stylist:Nancy

    The salon is sleek and clean, with a relaxing atmosphere, staff greets you with a smile, refreshments (including wine!) offered. Good head massages during wash (thank you!), and good music, never too loud, and great, high end hair products used and sold (full range of Kérastasse, L'Oréal, Moroccon Oil, Açai Brazilian Blowout, Paul Mitchell, & more). Easy to find near corner of 2nd Ave on 77th Street).

    Excellent Salon. Daria was friendly, thorough, and meticulous, and offered advice for my new do. Overall a very good experience. It was very busy when I first arrived, but the receptionist was friendly and attentive. They also offer wine, which was a nice treat after work. AND I love my new hair (I got partial highlights and cut)!

      Haircut (Women)
    I came to get a haircut here today for the second visit. My first visit was a great experience but this one was terrible. The stylist seemed nice at first and asked me if i'd like a drink. I asked for simply water. She forgot and brought it 15 minutes later. I usually get the same haircut and asked her suggestion for something new. She suggested my exact haircut, since I have "thin" hair. She later went on to say "What are you doing about this dry scalp?" I didn't realize I had dry scalp. She could have been a little more professional and perhaps said something like " I'm noticing a little dryness, I'd suggest this for you to treat it. She later said, " You know your hair is really uneven." Thats funny because my last haircut was at this salon. Throughout the entire haircut, there was very loud music on, lots of chatter among the employees. At one point another employee went up to my stylist to show her something on her phone, which Daria stopped doing my hair to chat about. Another employee was doing her own hair in the mirror the whole time. Also they stopped to take in their lunch delivery. The whole environment seemed extremely unprofessional , especially for a $65 haircut, which was really just a trim with some angles. Upon paying the person at the reception desk was eating her lunch that had just arrived. I calmly asked who the manager was, she said she was, was there something wrong. I didn't want to cause a scene so I left and said nothing with no intention of ever returning. A few minutes later the manager whomever it was did call me to ask about my experience, which I gladly told her. She helped rectify the situation by apologizing and offering a free haircut and blow-dry. That was very nice, but I wished I could have had a better experience from the beginning. I'll probably go for the free haircut, but after that I won't be returning.

    From the moment I walk in and adorable, energetic Anna greets me to the fabulous massage/wash to my having my curly shoulder length hair blown out and catching up with my stylist Nancy, Aaron Emanuel Salon is my go to place. Nancy knows how to make my hair not only start out straight, but stay. She is magical with a brush and hair blower. I am there each week and continue to look forward to my visits. Also it never hurts to have one of their coffee or wine treats.
