Michelle was highly recommended to me by a friend because I hadn't yet found a place to get my hair cut in New York. She did a wonderful job! I was thrilled with the cut. Other pluses: no hard sell (really not much of a sell at all) of their products, comfy ""chairs"" for the hair washing stations, yummy tea, Michelle's great personality, and an extremely comfy atmosphere. I also went here to have my hair colored after a disaster at another salon (Taina Salon - TERRIBLE), and Mildred made my hair color amazing. She took the time to listen to what I wanted, brought out a picture to show me what she was picturing - it was spot on - and then after putting on the dye continued to check on it and make sure it was setting enough. At the end, it was shiny and with the perfect tint! Expensive though it may be, I learned my lesson - I tried to save money at the other salon with a Groupon coupon and I ended up spending more than I did at Shade and ended up with weird faded color. Never again - Shade Bar from now on! Wonderful place!!
