I've been going to Tina and Co. for more than a year. I had been doing color myself (out of a box--yes, I know, not good) and it was too dark and looked crappy. Tina lightened me up and gave me very subtle highlights. I now get compliments on my hair color ALL the time.\r

Tina has a tiny place, and does just one client at a time. that means she isn't running around...she just focuses on you, and making you look your best. She figures out what's best for you based on your skin type, coloring, and tastes. She was not only trained by one of the best in the business, Louis Licari, but Tina now a reputation so good that she trains other hair colorists. And her prices are very reasonable.\r

Someone complains in another review that Tina wouldn't do what this client asked. I have actually seen people come into Tina's salon asking her to do something extreme, like taking them from dark brunette to a bleached blond, and TIna will try to talk the person out of it if she doesn't think it will make that person look good. Or if someone wants to go from dark to light without some intervening steps. To me, that's the sign of a real professional. \r

I am really delighted to have someone near me in Queens who can do manhattan quality work. I just wish she would cut hair, too. then i'd never have to go anywhere else!\r
Pros: Individualized service, great professionalism
Cons: queens location is not for everyone
