JOSE Jose Jose! He is the best colorist! I came in with a not so happy brassy looking head of hair and he transformed it into this beautiful auburn color. It looks like I have natural highlights BUT he only did one solid color or what he called a single process. I have never received so many compliments on my hair color until now. He is my to go to guy!!!!

A friend recommended this place to me but when I read Gina's review below, I had second thoughts. But I trusted my friend and went and I’m so glad I did because my hair turned out a beautiful light brown (without the red I hate) with some glowing blond lines (instead of streaks). Indeed I was so pleased that I think her review was actually written by a jealous owner of another salon. When I went in, I told the receptionist I wanted to see the products they use and she sent me right over to Akemi, their color specialist, who ... read more

When I went to this place for the first time this morning, I was nervous because it looked “fancy” and intimidating. (It’s on Lex and 57th which is a very “high priced” neighborhood.) But my friend gets her hair colored and cut there and I love the way it looks so I booked an appointment with the people she uses. The colorist, Akemi, is a darling and she did magic with my hair. I’m all grey and white and I’ve been straightening it for years so the color is blah. She performed some kind of miracle and made it a rich light bro... read more

I had my hair colored at Riccardo Maggiore Salon. I always had to put my hair under heat for the color to take. One time I noticed that the color did not take at all. I started to think that the dye that they were using was not of the best quality. I went to another salon, the color dye that the new salon used colored my hair without any heat being applied. The new salon told me that the heat with the chemicals was not good for my scalp. I'm glad that I left Riccardo Maggiore salon-I'm sorry that I did not leave sooner –I'm ... read more

I am not exaggerating when I say that Akemi is the best colorist in the city. I'lll follow her wherever she goes because she is extraordinarily knowledgeable and talented. I'm 61 years old and have my hair chemically straightened every four months, yet it looks fantastic thanks to Akemis ability to subtly change the color (and paint single strands of hair slightly lighter color). Every time I see her, she examines my hairs color and texture in order to decide what to apply. And she's a darling sweetheart and a good listener.

Adrianna is an impeccable stylist and colorist. She listens to what I want, and aims to please, while at the same time offering her professional input as to what she thinks is best for not only the look she is giving me, but the health of my hair. She is also an incredibly sweet and down to earth lady, who makes every visit an absolute joy! I am thrilled to have found her, and highly recommend her to all for color, cut and other treatments. She does it all, and she does it all beautifully.

Best Cuts, Color, & Straightening in NY and very friendly – I feel blessed at having found two people who are consistently able to my frizzy, wiry, ugly gray hair to look smooth, shiny, and healthy. Before I found AKIMI, the genius colorist at this salon, my hair color was dreadful. My hair has been straightened with every process that ever existed and it was burnt and porous, so no colorist could ever get the color to look “even” or natural. But Akimi said she could--and she did! She’s wonderfully obsessive about getting co... read more
