After having several haircut disasters all over Queens I decided to try Spectrym because it has great reviews on several websites. I went in yesterday for my first haircut and it was a wonderful experience. The staff is friendly and will accomodate you (I could only make it there about 30 min before closing, but they were still willing to take me). It is especially important for me to find someone who can cut my hair well, because it is curly and big and I am very particular about the kind of haircut that I need. My hairstylist, Langa, asked me questions throughout about how I liked it and if there was anything I wanted different, etc. She was very attentive and wanted to ensure that she gave me the exact haircut I wanted. I was very pleased with the results and will definitely return for future cuts. I was told that the cost is about $60 for a haircut and blowout, which might be a bit pricey for Queens but it is worth it. Also, a lot of the reviews said that parking is a problem, which it is (if anyone knows Austin St., they know street parking is almost impossible unless you're willing to drive around for about 30 min looking for a space). I went at an odd hour on a weekday, so parking was not a problem for me. If you can avoid going at peak hours or on the weekends, then parking will be much easier to find. All in all, a great experience, and my new regular salon.
Pros: Excellent service and skill
Cons: parking, but plan ahead and it shouldn't be a problem
