Review content:
This place saved my life! Soon was reccomnded to me by a friend after my then-boyfriend and I decided my hair ""situation"" had become intolerable. Let me explain. I am a gay man who has had extremely long hair for most of my adult life. This never seemed to be a problem for me dating/hooking up-wise however, until I moved to New York two years ago. After a month or so of failed hookups it became GLARINGLY obvious from the feedback I was getting that, in the NYC gay community, my long luscious hair was simply ""not on."" Well, after almost a year of putting it off, I finally walked through the doors at Soon...I was terrified, not certain what kind of cut I even wanted, and visibly shaken. That is, until I met my stylist, Jenny. I began explaining my apprehension and fear concerning the leap into the void we were about to take together, when Jenny sat me down in the chair, smiled reassuringly at me in the mirror and said with an absolutely hypnotic confidence ""don't worry, I've done this before."" The rest, quite simply, is history. She divined almost instantly what kind of cut I had been longing for for a year without my having even realized it and the whole thing was over before I even knew it. I left the salon feeling and looking, quite literally, like an entirely different person. The cut Jenny gave me was nothing short of astonishingly liberating and her relaxed, cool yet cooth attitude made the experience one of utter pleasure, rather than the terror I'd been prepared for. Since that day, I've never looked back and have reccomended Jenny to a host of friends and co-workers who have all had similarly fantastic experiences with her and Soon in general. At such modest prices and with cool, confident, and obviously talented stylists like these, it doesn't really get much better than this in the city.
Pros: Prices, Stylists
Cons: None so far...
