Reviews of Pearl Hair Salon (Hairdressing)

Pearl Salon is a great multi-service salon catering to both men and women. They offer a wide array of services and though I only opted for a cut, the price and service were both outstanding. It's in a great location that's close to east side subways and buses, but on a charming stretch of East 60th Street, which is dotted with many antique shops (plus Serendipity). Another plus is that they are open on Mondays (many salons are traditionally closed on that day). The haircutter I had was Irina, who has many years experience as both both a haircutter and a highly regarded Manhattan colorist. She clearly puts the preferences of the customer ahead of all other concerns. Pearl is definitely worth a visit; I know I'll be a regular.

Horrible experience. Don't go here. They'll try to push extras and charge you extra. Go next door to the salon on 220 east 60th instead for a cleaner and better experience.

Just got a buzz cut here; was very nice clean. Friendly, family owned.

Isaac does fantastic work. I initially started going to Isaac Salon a few months ago; after my first cut I was thoroughly impressed and I haven't gone anywhere else since then. By far the best cut and blow dry I have experienced in the city. Isaac listens to what you want done and delivers every time. The salon is tucked away a block from Bloomies- well worth it!

Clean and cozy, bright and conveniently located, this salon offers excellent service at good prices. I've been going to Angela for years and she is a super colorist and cuts my hair with style. I'm delighted with her new salon a block away from Bloomingdales!

I did a root coloring for the first time, having light blond color and light natural color as well. Just after procedure it looks good with having hair straight, and with salon light, but the next day I notice the difference in color under daylight, and it was getting more noticeable when I've done a ponytail. So at the end results was not that expected, but overall service was great - welcoming and respectful. I also had no allergy to Aveda hair color while my skin is very sensitive, so I can recommend it.

I have been going to Isaac for years now and have only had a phenomenal experience. If you're blonde and looking for color this is the place to go. He only uses non-bleach products and is able to achieve a light blonde that I love without damaging my hair. THE BEST

This place has terrible customer service. The owner refused to honor my living social voucher which advertised single process hair color but she said the voucher does not include that. They also confused my appointment. And in the end the woman refused to do my hair altogether. DO NOT GO HERE.

I went for the first time to have a haircut, blowout & deep conditioning treatment and LOVED the way my hair was done. I would definitely go back and recommend Yona :) My hair is rather curly and I have yet to meet anyone who is able to straighten it without mostly using a flat iron and he was able to!

Super overpriced for what it is. The owner tried (unsuccessfully) to charge me more because I came in with long hair even though I wanted it cut in a ponytail for donation. I spent almost a $100 (even with a groupon) for a haircut that should’ve cost $25. The blowout was rushed and bad. The stylist herself did a good job on the cut but the experience was quick and not the luxurious experience I expected.

Great service, great hair cuts. My teenager loves this place. The staff makes her feel comfortable and she's always been very happy with the results.

Absolutely great, professional artists. Best to make an appointment in not busy time.

I finally found a salon that I love! I have been coming here for almost a year now and Yona, who is an extremely talented stylist cuts my hair and he always does a wonderful job! I always leave the salon very happy with my cut.

The WORST salon & cut ever, & the owner is a TOTAL crook. He not only charged me an additional $65, telling me "because I have long hair," but he gave me the WORST cut of my life & was simply hacking away at my lifelong gorgeous, healthy hair -- I brought him a canvass (my super long hair) that a true artist would have done justice to, but he did not. He even insulted me but saying my head was "punishment hair," meaning he couldn't handle cutting it, as apparently it was torture for his inept self. He told one of his colleagues that my hair was thicker than hers, confirming the fact that he couldn't handle DOING HIS JOB effectively. At a certain point, he simply began whacking at my hair & I KNEW something was going wrong, so I asked if everything was okay, telling him that I can tell something is going terribly wrong. His partner in crime, inept colleague jumped in and said, "This is what he has to do." In the end, I wound up with my hair simply whacked into chunks and NOTHING close to what I asked for. When I paid with my credit card at the end, this shister had the nerve to ask me for an additional dollar to pay his credit card company charges. I am Jewish, as is his Israeli self, and it was the High Holy Days, of Rosh Hashanah. This is the most important time of year in our religion & culture, when we Jewish people are supposed to be making amends, repenting, and doing charity to make the world, our lives, and our heavenly souls a better place of goodness & integrity. As a matter of fact, Jews in particular are supposed to ask for forgiveness from one another for our wrongs. He did a major hack job & basically robbed me for the additional $66. But more important is he DESTROYED my hair, and after the days & nights of tears and angst I suffered thereafter, I still to this day have not been able to get a haircut as I was not only completely traumatized, but I have had to let my hair grow-out from the disaster of his disgusting mistake. It took me about two months to calm down enough to go to his store and ask for my money back, but like a true thief, he offered me nothing. DO NOT GO TO THIS SALON!!!!!
