Yes its pricey, but worth it – I don't go to many salons because I'm afraid to take the risk of someone messing up my hair. I have tight curls and lots of hair. The few times I have gone to salon I've went by recommendation of friends. They swear by Dominican salons and I have seen the magic those places have done, but never with my head of hair. They make my hair look awful, they can NEVER do a good blow-dry, sometimes looks like a bad wig. I was able to get some certificates for Alfangi Salon, at what I thought was a great... read more

best haircut ever – I was only in New York for a couple of days and I have to say that my experience at Santa's Salon was just amazing. Everybody was so attentive and I only realized afterwards that Santa herself did my haircut. She is simply an artist and I felt like cinderella when I saw my new look - now I go back to Europe and everybody will be jealous :-) Thanks again for everything!!!

Leslie is amazing!!!! – This was my first time at Salon Santa Cruz, and I loved every minute of it! As soon as I walked in I knew I was going to have a great experience. I met with my FABULOUS stylist Leslie, she asked me what I wanted and offered some suggestions to fix my badly dyed hair. She gave me the best haircut I have ever had, and she made it feel like I was visiting an old friend - she is soo talented, sweet and funny! My hair is curly , and Leslie gave me a cut that looks great curly or straight. The salon was ver... read more

great service – Since my usually hairdresser wasn't close by and I couldn't visit her often, I was looking for a second salon. I visited Salon Santa Cruz after reading many reviews and after having a bad haircut experience the day before. When I entered the salon, the owner was pleasant and I was introduced to Katya. She is energetic and very friendly. Katya was very understanding and took the time to listen to what I wanted done and during the haircut also asked for my suggestions and always made sure I agreed with what she... read more

not as expected – I went to have a trim and layers for my long hair. The hairdresser assigned to me wasn't attentive at all, not even bothered to look at my hair before sending me for wash and asked only one question before he snipped for less than 10 minutes before and spending the rest of the time blowdrying my hair into a style which was far from what I wanted. This place is definitely not worth the 160$ price tag and the atmosphere will tell it all when you dare to go.

Thank you Leslie! – My friend Marcia has already written her review, and now this is my contribution. I was visiting Marcia in NYC last week, and tagged along to her hair appointment. The salon was out of my usual 'tourist' track, but as soon as I walked in I loved the airy loft atmosphere and the incredibly friendly staff. (An aside: my cellphone had packed up and I was anxious to let my husband, left behind in London, know that I'd arrived safely. The adorable receptionist helped me to make the call, and went out of her wa... read more

Best haircut ever!!! – I found the Santa Cruz Salon accidentally, attending an art exhibit sponsored by the Fountain Gallery there. I met Leslie at that time, and she made suggestions about my very curly, frizzy, too long hair and coloring that just made complete sense to me. She also has the cutest little boy ever, and he showed up just as I was leaving. I decided to give her a try a few weeks later, and received the best haircut I have ever had. Everyone says it makes me look 10 years younger, which is no easy feat, and pe... read more

My Experience... – This is a great salon. The people are very friendly and they really do listen to what you want. Jeffrey is A+ amazing! Best personality and great head wash and massage. Would go back for him alone! Leslie did a great job with the highligts and cut. I will definitely be back. Great atmosphere as well. The only 2 cons: 1. a bit pricy (but won't deter me from going again) 2. the stylist made me hold my own foil wraps and hand them to her one by one. I go to a salon to relax and I wasn't able to close my eyes ... read more

Excellent Hair Cut and Service – Let me begin by saying that I loved my experience at Salon Santa Cruz. When I first arrived to the salon, everyone was incredibly nice and friendly. I was initially nervous because I was going to cut my curly hair really short for the first time in my life. Before beginning with my haircut, I showed my amazing stylist Leslie the three different looks I was considering, and after a couple questions she knew exactly what would be the best look, taking into what would best flatter my face and th... read more
