A cool salon in a cool neighborhood – I've gone to TwoDo for haircuts, facials and waxing, and it's always been a great experience. Sasha is super-creative and always gives me a stunning cut. Joanne (my esthetician) is very gentle and precise and sweet. They both truly enjoy making me look good. Actually that's the vibe I get from the whole salon: friendly, low-key, professional, excited about their work. I never feel I'm being pushed to buy anything, but the minute I ask about a product, everyone knows exactly what to recommend to me and why (for my skin or hair type, etc.). You feel like you're in very capable hands with these guys, which is nice because other places have this kind of factory feel – like they're churning you down an assembly line. But at TwoDo the people always have time to answer questions and discuss beauty regimens and whatever. It's a cute space, too, with hand-picked art on the walls – I always feel like I'm sneaking into some private hideaway or little club. It seems to be part of a really cool, evolving neighborhood along Amsterdam. I recommend the place to friends and out-of-towners alike, and a few of my recommendations have turned into regulars. Some people want more fireworks with their salon experience, so this won't be for them. But for a nice chill experience and quality "me" time, this is great place to get yourself fixed up.

GREAT FIND – I’m a woman who’s always on the lookout for a great stylist. Well I don’t need to look any longer. I found out about TwoDo through a total stranger. I was on my lunch hour just walking back to the office when I spotted a woman with an amazing haircut and great color. I knew if I didn’t stop her I would be kicking myself for the rest of the day. Needless to say, she was more than accommodating when I stopped her and asked her where she gets her hair done. She told me she’s gone to TwoDo for a number of years and has gone to a number of their colorists and stylists and has not been disappointed yet. Well I made an appointment that day and left it to the front desk receptionist to choose the stylist and colorist. When the day of my appointment came I was excited yet anxious. I have to say this cut was by far the best I ever received and the hi-lites I got were noticeable yet natural-looking. I immediately felt relaxed and enjoyed being in a place where everyone was smiling and was very professional. All in all a very “beautiful” experience.

Great for haircuts and eyebrow waxes – I have been going to TwoDo for over 10 years. I have had 3 or 4 different stylists there over the years. I keep going back because the haircuts, color services, and eyebrow waxes are excellent. Every single time I get my color done I am told that if I have any hesitation over the course of the week, to come back in for a re-do. I have never had to do that. That being said, it is not a perfect salon. After 10 years, Susana is the only person who ever acknowledges that I've been there before - but her hours no longer match mine, so I haven't seen her for a couple years at least. I often feel like I'm walking into a circle of friends who are too cool to talk to their customers - but when I want to hang out with my friends, I'll do that. When I want a great hair cut and color, I'll go to Two Do.

I love this place. – I'm honestly shocked by the negative comments I'm reading!! I've been a loyal customer of two-do for more than 3+ years. Over the course of that time I moved to a different city, then moved back to NYC. While I lived in the other city, I REFUSED to have anyone else cut my hair because I only trusted Sasha!!! (My hair was SOOOOOOO long when I moved back, it was disgusting!) But Sasha is incredibly talented, extremely friendly, and a total professional. Going along with what many other have said, this is the anti-snoot hair salon. If you want to go a place WITHOUT pretention, I seriously recommend coming here. I have never had to wait long, am always offered a cold beverage when I arrive, and I am always consulted before Sasha begins snipping away. I appreciate her honesty and opinions on what we should do with my hair because she's a professional and understands my hair's texture, thickness, etc., and what would look best for me. This place is SERIOUSLY a gem. I've recommended this place to many people, and I know at least 2 who are now regular clients. Until Two-Do, I was NEVER attached to a hair salon in my life. NOW I have a place to go to and get a killer cut! Thanks Sasha and two-do - you guys rock!

HELLO!!!! I RECENTLY HAD MY LIFE CHANGED BY YANIV AT TWODO SALON WHICH DOESN'T HAVE THE FEEL OF ALL THE SNOTTY HAIR SALONS IN NEW YORK WHICH I'VE BEEN TO WITH MY FAMOUS SISTER, JULIA LOUIS-DREYFUS FROM SEINFELD, BUT IT IS STILL IS AS GREAT. I WOULDN'T MISS THIS SECRET HIDEAWAY IF I WERE YOU. IT'S LIKE A BEST KEPT SECRET, IF YOU'RE AN ANTIQUE HUNTER IN PROVENCE AND YOU FIND A GOLD MINE. AND FROM SOMEONE WHO KNOWS, THE PRICES DON'T EVEN COMPARE TO THE 5TH AVE. AND MADISON AVE. HAUTES. HAVE FUN!!

Do not go here! – I wanted a new salon, since I have been paying way too much for a haircut. Came in and saw a man whose name I don't remember. He said my hair was awful and misstreated and yadda yadda... A trim turned into a Monica Lewinski hairdo. When I said my hair was poofy. He yelled and said it's not my fault you have thick hair. Also, I said I was growing out my hair and he kept saying he wanted to almost shave it and gave me bangs which I hate and stated that I didn't want any.... Don't go here ever

Business Response:

Dear Very Unkind, TwoDo has been on the Upper West Side for almost 15 years and our experienced hair staff (mostly long time employees) never, EVER yells at clients - and they know how to handle thick hair. Also, if your hair were really damaged and mistreated, we would just offer you a Kerastase Hair Treatment. We certainly would NOT threaten to shave your head. We are an upscale, boutique hair salon with incredible talent and down-to-earth attitudes. I sincerely question the legitimacy of this review, and invite the author to call me directly if there?s any truth in it whatsoever. Kevin Gordon (owner)

Drive-through color and service – Went to Megan for color based on the rave reviews on this site. Was the worst salon experience of my life. In fairness to the salon, I made a lunch appointment which probably wasn't the best idea for a full head of highlights. I arrived at 12:30, was greeted promptly then sent into the main room where I waited almost 20 minutes for someone to acknowledge me. Had to ask about the water cooler, to get my own water. Megan's assistant finally did acknowledge me, but as a first time client, frankly, I expected to be treated more than just someone in a line at a deli. Was finally taken by Megan at 1:10. She apologized, but at that point, I should have rescheduled. She was friendly and did the highlights quickly but that was the problem. For $240, I expected a great experience and she missed a lot of spots trying to make up the time. I had to get my hair redone later, and my new hair colorist said I should have demanded my money back. I did reach out to the salon and never received a response. At my old salon, whenever a client was unhappy in any way, they went out of their way to fix it. Not here.

Business Response:

On the contrary, lunch appts are a great idea! I?m happy you were greeted promptly and that Megan was friendly and apologized for being 15 min late to see you. She?s an amazing professional who rarely keeps a client waiting that long. TwoDo?s policy is to stand behind our work. If you reached out & ?never received a response? , no one here received that call. Otherwise, we would have called you back. Best of luck with your hair. Kevin Gordon (owner)

Very caring staff – I had a great experience at Two Do Salon. Suzanne colored my hair. She took the time to go over the process with me, she took the time to go over my magazine photos of hair colors that I thought were good as well as gave her own recommendations. My color turned out great!

Finally! TwoDo is such a great find! – I just visited TwoDo Salon for the first time, and it was so wonderful, I felt that I should share my experience on this website. Citysearch is how I found TwoDo and I am so happy that I did. I am new to New York and I feel like every salon that I have been to has been over priced and pretentious with little skill or technique to back it up. Not so at TwoDo! They were so kind and down to earth. Everyone looked happy and they actually smiled! I had highlights and a haircut and both are exactly what I asked for! My stylists seemed to care about what I wanted and didn't just ignore me only to do what they wanted to my hair. They have the cute and private spa room for waxing while my color was on! I am so pleased to have finally found a place in this city that values the clients and the services!
