I have been a Xac follower for many years now. I initially with to see Xac because I lost a bet with a friend (we each thought our personal hair stylist was the best at the time). The bet was whomever lost had to go to the other stylist and the winner got to tell the stylist what to do with the loser?s hair. No questions asked and the loser couldn?t know what the stylist was told to do. I lost the bet and Xac came into my life. So in actually I ended up winning! The first time I went to see Xac I was a blond with straight average Joe kind of hair. When I left I was a red head with spiky cutting edge hair. I really felt like I had been on one of those make-over shows. Needless to say that was an uncomfortable situation but Xac makes you feel comfortable, no matter what. I had so much fun that evening. Xac?s funny, sweet and very easy on the eyes!
The new Salon/Spa is amazing. This isn?t your grandma?s salon. Going to XacAnthony is an experience. The ambiance is warm and welcoming. Everything in Earth tones (I love the floor). There?s nothing stark or harsh about this place. It?s white glove service from the get-go (be sure to get a glass of wine). The staff Xac has surrounded himself with is of the same caliber as he is and knowing Xac I wouldn?t expect anything less. So if you?re looking for a new stylist (be it Xac or one of the talented other stylist at XacAnthony) head over to West 19th Street and treat yourself to a true New York experience!
Pros: The staff, the location, the space, the overall experience
Cons: I only see my hair stylist 3 times a year.
