“I went today for a haircut and I am very happy with the result, Sabrina is very nice and professional and Knew exactly what i wanted when i told her. I love my new look. I would definitely recommend it! Thank you so much”

“SABINA WAS AMAZING. I HAVE LONG CURLY THICK HAIR AND SHE HAD SUCH GREAT ADVICE AND GAVE ME THE BEST HAIRCUT!! SOO HAPPY”

“Amazing wash, blow dry and styling with Sabrina. I highly recommend her as a stylist. She also specializes in cuts. They seem to lean towards pretty, chic hair (I call it The Classic Fekkai because everyone knows what that style is), and my blow out has lasted (4) days to give you an idea of how thorough the wash is and how well they do the styling. i did just a simple round brush wave (straight with some bend at the end, some volume on top) and just needed some oil on it afterwards to hold it. I recommend this salon and will be going back for more blow drys and trying out their other services over time.”

“Love this place! Meno is very professional. Place is clean very popular but high quality ”

“Very good service, nice environment, truly recommended ”

“Monet was great. Did beautiful job on my highlites”

“Nicki did my highlights! Fantastic! Everyone is super nice at the salon. Will return!”

“I’ve gone to this salon twice now-for blonde highlights and a haircut and I’ve loved it each time! Appointments are so easy to email and make and the staff is super accommodating. The stylists listen to exactly what you want and give their expert opinion which I appreciate. I’ve seen 3 different stylists, all were beautiful results. I’ve been getting highlights done for years, and they’ve done some of my favorite ones I’ve had! I’ll definitely be returning for a third time :)”

“Moné did an amazing job on my balayage! He will be my new go-to. Highly recommend.”

“Sabina gave me a great haircut! Everything was efficient and well-run.”

“I am very pleased with the results of my balayage and hair cut. Niki did a great job , definitely recommend this salon. I will be coming back whenever I need to get a retouch done and toner.”

“I’ve been looking For a good professional to do my highlights in New York for two years and I finally found one. Moné is great!!! I’m really glad I found him and I strongly recommend him.”

“I’ve looked for good highlight’s professional in New York for over two years and I finally found the best.
Moné is great!
Thanks for your great job today”

“It was my first time coloring my hair and I’m so happy I did it with Nikki! She was so patient with me and answered all my questions as well as explained the process. She also provided advic and helped me find the right color for me. I absolutely LOVE my balayage highlight and I can’t wait to go back. Thanks Nikki!”

“Great haircut. Thank you!”

“Loved how my hair looked! They did an excellent job!”

“I was blown away with the results of my haircut. The salon artists were so patient through the entire process (which stands out to me because I have very thick, curly hair). The lady understood exactly the color and the cut that I wanted, and was very meticulous with making sure I got the result that I wanted. The staff is friendly but more on the silent side. I will definitely be coming here again, especially for as long as their promotion is going on.”

“I had a balayage done by Fatima and she did a fantastic job! She is very professional and I totally trusted her throughout the process. My haircut was done by Sabine, equally wonderful and professional! She also gave me some useful tips to preserve my hair in the post-partum/breastfeeding phase I’m currently in.. I found my new go-to salon in NY!”

“Nicky did my highlights and they came out great! Easy to book an appt, convenient location, weekend availability and nice staff. Will definitely be returning!”

“Wonderful haircut! Sabina was very professional& knowledgeable. She listened to my request very patiently and well-explained some hair treatment options catered for my hair condition. I enjoyed their service. More important. the result came out better than I expected! I`m looking forward to making my next appt in 2 months”

“Nikki is the best hair stylist and colorist! Very attentive and thoughtful.”

“Just did my haircut with Sabina. She is so professional and perfectionist and so nice person. Highly recommended.”

“Nikki is a skilled and talented colorist. The highlights are lovely - I’m a blonde again”

“Great experience! Very happy with my haircut. Would definitely go back!”

“Nikki did a beautiful job with my balayage & Sabina did great with my haircut & styling. Everyone was friendly & highly recommend it.”

“Jacob gave me exact haircut I wanted. I had a few questions that I left up to him and he was right. I love it when a hairstylist cxx as n advise you as well as giving you what you want. Perfect and good price for NYC”

“Best service I ever had! Very professional and kind! Leon did an amazing job doing my bayalage and Sabina did the haircut! Both of them did an amazing job! I walked out so happy!”

“First salon experience post Covid-19 lock-down. They are super thoughtful about hygiene in a way that doesn’t feel uncomfortable for the client so the service itself was a super positive experience. For the service itself (Brazilian blowout and cut), my hair feels great and looks even better. They are also (for now) offering super competitive pricing, highly recommend!”

“I’ve visited Gabriel Shimunov salon a couple of times now for a Brazilian blowout and I’m always happy with the results. I recall my first visit when Oliver patiently listened to my concerns and answered all of my questions about the treatment and what would be best for me. Plus, they always take me promptly, everyone is extremely friendly, and the added Covid discount was a pleasant surprise!”

“I received a free haircut here with their healthcare worker promo. They take your temperature as soon as you walk in and they have hand sanitizer and masks available. I was there when staff arrived for their shift and saw how they take their temperature and sanitize their hands before starting their shift. The staff was very friendly and polite. I was seated more than six feet away from other clients, and both the staff and clients kept their masks on the entire time I was there, which I really appreciate. My stylist was very knowledgeable and helped me figure out what was best for my hair. Everybody was so nice and the salon was kept very clean. I would definitely return.”

“It was my first time getting my hair cut here and I’m very happy with my hair Nikki cut. I was worried if any non-Asian hairdressers can manage to cut my hair but she perfectly handled my hair. I’ll come back to her and highly recommend you to get your new styles at this hair salon!”

“Loved this! Highly recommend and they’re doing 60% though Dec. so very reasonably priced. It was 675 originally for all of the services and the discount knocked it down to 282 with tax! For a full head of highlights, cut, toning, blowdry, and curls that’s extremely good. Also, no one been able to take the brassiness out of my hair until now. Definitely coming back. They’re also doing really well taking care of their stylists and customers with hand sanitizer, gloves, masks, and taking your temp from a distance when you walk in. Safe, nice staff, and excellent quality”

“This place was amazing. The environment was clean and safe despite the pandemic risks. Both Gabriel and Niki were very professional and well spoken. Niki did an amazing job on my hair I absolutely love it! And will go back there again.”

“Nicky was wonderful! She’s so sweet and excellent with color, will definitely be back again to the salon to see her!”

“Great experience at this salon. I went in for a haircut and the place was clean and airy. The owner and stylist were very pleasant and professional. I was offered gloves and mask upon arrival. I ended up getting a free haircut as their appreciation for COVID first responders. After a few months of wearing a mask, covering my hair with a cap, and witnessing so much death and suffering, I felt so refreshed walking out of there with nice hair. Thank you Gabriel Shimunov for your kind gesture!”

“It was my first time getting my hair cut here and I’m very happy with my hair Nikki cut. I was worried if any non-Asian hairdressers can manage to cut my hair but she perfectly handled my hair. I’ll come back to her and highly recommend you to get your new styles at this hair salon!”

Nice staff too. I highly recommend them.”

“I have been going here for several years to get a Keratin treatment and have always been extremely happy with the results. The service has been excellent and the price fair.”

“My Brazilian blowout with Oliver was awesome. Just the luscious shiny hair I was looking for. He was very hospitable. Nikki is outstanding with Balayage. Got it done a few months ago. I receive tons of compliments. Strangers even stop me on the street to say they love the color. For 5 star service try them. You will not be disappointed. It’s a clean, trendy and friendly salon!!!”

Beautiful salon, everyone is so nice and I highly, highly recommend this salon and Valentina!”

“Hair cut and Brazilian blowout by Marco- service was great, clearly knew what he was doing and one of the best treatments and haircuts I have had in a while. Would recommend.”

“Great experience. They really go out of their way to be excellent”

“Excellent service. Love it”

“They are amazing!! They really know what they are doing”

“Nikki is my new person. Also feels like a friend after spending a while dying my hair from brown to a beautiful blonde! It took more time than I expected, but only bc/ my bangs were being finicky. I would 100% go back, I trust the employees there to do excellent work! I didn’t get styled by Radha but her clients seemed to love her too!! What a welcoming place.”

“Nikki gets it done. Quick. Efficient. Precise. No fluff. Definitely ask for her if you need anything color related. You’ll get what you want, on the spot. Very impressed.”

“The salon was bright and clean. We were greeted immediately by a lovely gentleman. My son really enjoyed his stylist, and loved his new hair cut. We truly enjoyed our experience at Gabriel Shimunov Hair Salon. I think we have found a new salon home!”

“I 100% recommend this salon. Nikki did the most amazing job with my highlights. Everyone was asking me where I had got my hair done for weeks after. She did such a great job that when my roots started to grow out eventually, you could barely notice. Everyone was so friendly and genuinely cared that their job was done right, not a very common trait in a lot of New York salons.”

“Praesent id libero id metus varius consectetur ac eget diam. Nulla felis nunc, consequat laoreet lacus id.”

“Start to finish, what a fantastic experience! I called for a same day appointment for a cut with no issue. During the consult with Sabina, I decided to get a single process color. Diego stepped in and did an amazing job. Sabina also did a phenomenal job with the cut. The space is welcoming and cozy, and extremely convenieny located in midtown. I’ll be back!”

“Amazing. Diego was fantastic!”

“It’s a quirky salon but the staff here are faboulous. Nicky is awesome and super happy with my colour and cut. See you in January for my cut! Xx”

“Quick and easy! The girl who did my color was awesome. I love my color today and her blowout was amazing. And the girl who washed my hair was great too!!! And loved the products at the salon.”

“I had the full head of highlights with Nikki and the result was perfect! I’ve always been told I needed toner for my highlights and I always asked to please not use it. Nikki is the only one that told me I didn’t need it and the result was perfect without it. Highly recommended!”

“Recommend this place. Professional and nice. Did a fast & great job on my wash and blow.

”

“
I highly recommend this salon! Friendly staff, professional hair stylist!!! While I was there I saw 5 people had their hair styled and each left happy. I was very happy with my stylist Nicky! Try this place out! I will definitely go again! You get discounts on your future visits even!”

“Nice hair cut by Sabine, overall a good experience.”

“Oliver did such a great job on my Brazilian Blowout. I have gotten it done various times but my hair has never finished the way it is this time around. Thank you, Oliver! Also, very sympathetic and professional.”

“I had a Brazilian blowout and it looks great (but just done). Everyone in the salon was very pleasant and Oliver was great. Highly recommend.”

“Chic and meticulous with their work. I love the result of my color and low lights and have been receiving many compliments since. The precision and careful care they took was wonderful. Would recommend.”

“Very attentive and Savana did a great job highlighting my very difficult hair. Will definitely be back!!!”

“After going to various people in the last 10 years for blonde highlights, I can say that the color I have received from the Gabriel Shimunov salon was one of the very best I have ever gotten. If you want a very thorough, amazing job request Savannah. I am so pleased with the golden highlights she gave me. Everyone was so friendly and the salon is clean, chic and in a great location! Couldn’t recommend Savannah or this place enough!!”

“As soon as you enter the door, you are welcomed with the warmest sincerity. The staff is amazing!! Nikki is a gem! She not only is absolutely professional and skilled, she is one of the sweetest hair stylist I have ever encountered. Do not hesitate to book this salon! Pick Nikki! She transform’s caterpillars into beautiful butterflies. She listens to what the client truly wants and delivers exceeding expectations for sure! The atmosphere is so chill, clean and relaxed. By far one of the best salons!”

“OMG!!!! I’m in love with my caramel highlights. My stylist, Savannah, did an amazing job!! She gave me exactly what I wanted and was so kind. Such an amazing person and hair artist. when i went they took me in right away and Savannah was already ready to start. She started talking to me about how to take care of me hair. I would 100% reccomend Gabriel Shimunove Hair salon”

“Excellent! Loved this place. They do a great job. Highly recommend.”

“Lovely salon, bright, clean and friendly. The woman who did my hair did an excellent job. Was so relaxing I think I fell asleep while she was working. Would definitely return.”

“Loved this salon. The hairdresser was wonderful and they were so accommodating.”

“Great customer service! Nikki did a very nice balayage. Will com back”

“I got a blow dry from Pamela who was awesome. I have super curly hard to manage hair and she blew and styled it!”

“Nicki did an amazing job with balayage highlights. I LOVE my hair and wish it could stay like this forever but once it starts growing out, I will deff go back to this salon. Thank you so much Nicki!! The staff is very friendly and flexible with what I want.”

“Outstanding. Best cut I’ve ever had.”

“I came in after having had the week from hell. Even though it was a Tuesday, a new week, I still couldn’t get over the vibe of how badly I felt. I wanted to cut my hair, to bring back some life to my face. I was exhausted, heartbroken, and just generally depleted. When I walked in, Gabriel greeted me, and immediately I felt like I was going to have an exceptional experience. When I sat in his chair and explained to him what I wanted, I felt that he heard me and truly understood what I needed. It was a relief to not have to go into explaining what I wanted and why. Gabriel just knew. The way Gabriel’s hands moved, how he positioned my head, how he knew exactly the right way to comb my hair to make it fall into place — it was as though he was listening to my hair, and doing exactly what it needed. I love my haircut, I love how fresh and rejuvenated my face looks now, and I especially love how professional, capable, and kind Gabriel was. Truly one of the best salon experiences I’ve ever had in my whole life! :-) :-) :-)”

“Everyone was very nice, and Johan did an unbelievable blowout. I can’t wait to go back to see him again!”

“I’m an early middle-aged brunette with streaks of grey that get a lot of compliments, but they were too uneven. I met a lovely stylist from the beautiful Amalfi coast who really knew what he was doing. He took time and care to understand what I wanted, and although it felt like a dare, I was very happy with the results I still look my age, just not so stressed.. Grazie, Francesco!”

“Great overall service. The hair stylist takes there time in listening to what you want & gives you honest advice & suggestions or alternatives. At the end results are very pleasing.”

“My hair stylist was both attentive and detail oriented when it came to my hair coloring. The color came out just as I asked, without too much red tones. Not only was the color perfect, but so was the grade of my hair after the color- not a split in sight. I loved this experience!”

“I can’t say enough about how pleased I was with Gabriel Shimunov Salon! I was blessed to have Ashley cut, color and style my sad hair, and she seriously performed a miracle! Not only did I look great when I left, it’s been a dream every day since! My daughter was paired up with Sabina, and she felt the same way about her experience. Beautiful salon, great ambience, totally pampered. AMAZING!”

“I am so happy that I found this place! Sabina did an amazing job on my hair, i will definitely be back!”

“I absolutely loved my experience at this salon and could not speak more highly of the place and the staff. My train was so late but they went out of their way to accommodate me. I had a beautiful colour and blow wave from Sabena and could not be happier with her work. I will definitely be back. Thank you so much!”

“I can absolutely recommend this hair salon. I was treated very friendly and felt comfortable in the salon. Ashley did a great job. I will come back.”

“My hair looks really great and I really enjoyed my time at the salon! Ashley is super talented. Also got a blow out and styling from Kelly”

“Absolutely wonderful work of Sabina changed my attitude to my own curls! Who knew I would love them?!Sabina spent two hours on cutting my hair short. I did not have any expectations when I came the salon, just needed a short Haircut. I’m grateful to Sabina for finding a new look for me. I’m definitely coming back)) thanks a lot ”

“I went in with quiet a few issues with my hair and left with it feeling and looking flawless! Everyone was so helpful and friendly and my overall experience was great. I love the outcome of my hair.”

“My sister-in-law and I wanted to get our hair blown out while vacationing in NYC. We are so happy we found Gabriel Shimunov! Geralzine and Yajira did a FABULOUS job on our hair! The salon was very relaxing and Gabriel was wonderful. Next time we visit the city we will be back! Thanks so much for an amazing experience!”

“Great and professional service. The stylist was very friendly, thorough, and my hair after the keratin treatment is perfect.”

“I went to three different Hair salon to get my hair done (Ash blond). this place was the only one who succeeded doing an amazing job with my color and made it exactly the way I wanted. The staff is super friendly and make you feel super confortable. I spent 4hours at the salon but they made it looks like time flied by.
Amazing prestation !”

“I had an excellent experience at Gabriel Shimunov. I purchased the Gilt voucher for keratin straightening and the salon had prompt availability and worked to accommodate my work schedule.

Upon arrival, the salon is small and bright, not hectic or overly loud. I was greeted by my stylist, Jessica, who explained to me the various straightening lines they had available and helped me to decide what was best for my hair. Jessica was well-informed, thoughtful and very personable. Once we decided on the product, she washed me and quickly got to work. With the assistance of another stylist, Geraldine, they had me in and out in an hour and a half. This is nearly unheard of for a straightening treatment, and at no point did I feel rushed or as though they weren’t taking enough care. Additionally, due to the specialized ventilation system, there were virtually no fumes, which is an enormous plus when it comes to how noxious some of these treatments can be when heated.

Garbiel himself rang me up and was very gracious. I walked out with smoother, silkier hair and am very pleased with the results. Overall, it was a terrific experience and I highly recommend it.”

“Salon Gabriel is a breath of fresh air in this busy city. Gabriel and his Team are super talented and clearly love their work. I can thoroughly recommend this Salon!”

“My first visit to Gabriel Shimunov Salon was fantastic. All the hairdressers were kind and outgoing, clearly wishing for the best experience possible. The space is clean and modern, overlooking a nice part of the city, and with an air circulator machine which prevents chemical fumes from accumulating inside. The professional who took care of my hair recommended a different treatment for me than the one I originally wanted, which I was a little suspicious about, but she patiently listened to my concerns and was ultimately very accommodating of my request. In the end, my hair looked absolutely gorgeous — and although I have yet to witness the full effects of the treatment, I was very pleased with the Salon experience. All in all, I am very happy to have discovered this Salon and look forward to returning soon!”

“Had a Great Men’s cut yesterday with J. She was very meticulous at making me happy. It was a very professional cut and all of the staff had a good energy.

I’ll be coming back and recommending to friends.”

“I got a Brazilian Blowout today by Jessica and it looks fabulous. Plus, the salon is friendly, peaceful and has a lovely view. They’re going to be seeing a lot more of me there. I really love the vent they use to suck away the fumes from the Brazilian Blowout chemicals. It made the process a lot more pleasant.”

“Gabriel gave me an amazing pixie cut. I’ve never had short hair before, but I love it!”

“I do my own hair almost exclusively. I learned this the hard way because any time I have trusted a hair salon in Manhattan, it has been a horrible experience.

Everything from bad cuts, bad blow outs or they just don’t listen to me (I’m a soft spoken girl) so I stay away from non-ethnic salons. But I really wanted to try a Brazilian Blowout and I couldn’t do it on myself so I took a chance here after reading the reviews.

I love Gabriel Shimunov. Allow me to emphasize. LOVE. My stylist Bahia was amazing! She listened, she made sure I was comfortable with the process and she kept me laughing. Gabriel himself was an absolute dear!

I kid you not, I have never walked out of a Manhattan hair salon with perfectly smooth hair. I have Dominican waves with unruly baby hairs and Bahia slayed them like I never have! I wanted to wait until after my first wash to confirm but the treatment was a success! My hair no longer starts off as year 7 Hermione Granger and slowly puffs up to year one as I walk to the office.

They were not pushy with the products but I already knew I wanted to get them and I made this known right away. I love this place and I cannot wait for my touch up :)”

“I couldn’t be happier with my services at Gabriel Shimunov’s salon. The stylist took the time to personalize my keratin treatment and give me detailed attention based on my specific needs. My hair is looking better than ever thanks to Gabriel Shimunov! ”

“It was an amazing experience. Ashley was my stylist and she did a wonderful job!!!”

“Received a great Brazilian Blowout in less than 1.5 hours. The staff was very friendly and the salon was clean and appealing. They had a air purifier machine so you did not smell any of the odors from the chemical treatment. They customized my treatment to fit my needs and it turned out perfect! Will definitely be back.”

“Friendly staff, cool space and a good haircut”

“Very good service and amazing staff.”

“I was very happy with the service I received. Gabriel greeted me at the door and showed me to my seat. Ashley, my colorist, came over and discussed my needs and also provided some good insight on what could be done today and for consideration in the future. My color came out exactly as I had requested and all my gray hairs were covered. The blow out from Gabriel was fantastic with a lot of volume which should carry over in the next day or two. Overall, I was VERY happy and will be a returning customer!
Thank you!”

“I was pleasantly surprised by the service I received. I called for a Keratin appointment and was able to get in the same day. The Greenwich salon was easy to find and had available parking. I have had Keratin treatments done many times before and usually cry through them because of the chemical smell, but this salon had a ventilation system that I have never seen used before. There was no smell or crying this time! Will definitely go back again for another Keratin. The salon was clean, small and quiet. Everyone there was fantastic!”

“Gabriel was terrific. Professional and made my hair look gorgeous. I will definitely be back whenever I’m in the City”

“Outstanding!! Such a terrific find. My hair looks fabulous and I am so happy. Thank you and know I will be back and I will bring my sister.”

“Fantastic staff and service!!! Very accommodating to my busy schedule, and surprisingly affordable in comparison to the high quality of the hair style!”

“Calm, clean, beautiful salon studio. Amazing Brazilian Blow Dry by Ashley. Go for it!”

“Loved the experience, great salon. Ashley was very good.”

“I had an amazing experience getting my hair done here. I would definitely recommend this salon to anyone with all types of hair. All the staff members make you feel comfortable as soon as you walk in the door. They are energetic and make you feel so good. I have very curly, frizzy and long hair. I had a brazilian blowout and bayalage; it turned out better than I had imagined. I am usually scared when I go to a hair salon that I do not know nothing about, but I definitely found my new hair salon. I love the fact that everyone works together willingly. Thank you everyone at Gabriel Shimunov, you will definitely be seeing me again when it is time for me to touch up!!!!”

“Gabriel and Ashley were fantastic! Service was super and personal. They accomidated us last minute and were very professional and worked with our timeline, even while we arrived late! Highly reccomendation for any salon hair needs.”

“I had the most fabulous haircut at the salon! The salon itself is like a little oasis of calm in an otherwise hectic midtown. It’s beautiful peaceful and very calming.
Back to the haircut…….divine! It was perfect, probably the best haircut I’ve had….ever.
I highly recommend the salon, and Ashley ( I think that’s who cut my hair, it’s been a few weeks and I can’t find the card :() You won’t be disappointed!”

“FABULOUS!!
I have tried a number of salons since my regular place closed......I FOUND IT!!!!!. Gabriel and his staff are wonderful. It is a small, personal salon that makes your needs the focus of the staff. I have never been so nicely treated as a customer as I have been in Gabriel’s salon. That’s not the best part!! I received the best styling and coloring ever. I have found the best salon. Thanks team Gabriel!”

“Had a fantastic experience with Gabriel today and I LOVE my hair cut and style! I’ve been looking for a new stylist and I’ve found him!! The salon is beautiful and modern but still warm and friendly. I immediately felt like I was in GREAT hands! Such a Happy Hair day!! Choosing a hair stylist is important and you can trust Gabriel!”

“Gabriel Shimunov, is wonderful. He’s sweet, talented and he really listens to what his clients want. Added plus - it’s super convenient that you can make an appointment online.”

“Gabriel is truly an expert when it comes to hair. My haircuts and blowouts have consistently looked amazing over the past few years and I ALWAYS get compliments from friends, family, and strangers. His work is truly unique and is taken very seriously. Thank you for always making me look beautiful! ”

“I had a blowout, non Brazilian, today. My hair looks amazing! The experience was great and I left feeling empowered by my fabulous hair!”

“Great salon and great experience from start to finish! I have loved my cut every time. Very lucky to have Gabriel here in CT!”

“Gabriel created a major change in my look. I had gone far too long without a haircut, and I had a mess of too-long, frizzy hair. He cut several inches and shaped it into a much sleeker, updated style. He was meticulous in doing the cut, making adjustments until it was to his standards. His colorist also did a great job getting the gray out of my hair and making it a rich dark brown close to my natural color, but better. The best part is that it has been remarkably easy to blow dry and style, and it holds it shape even the next day. I will definitely return!”

“This salon was small and very intimate. It created a personal experience which you don’t usually find in NYC. Gabriel was very flexible when I had to reschedule my appointment. The staff was friendly and I received a great haircut and blowout. The atmosphere and style was great. The woman who washed my hair was a little rough and aggressive so I didn’t enjoy the wash and massage too much. Everything else was great and I liked that Gabriel took before and after photos.”

“Thank you, Gabriel, for a haircut that’s perfect every time!”

“Amazing place and amazing treatment that last! I had a different treatment and it didn’t work as well as here. Every time I come to the city I come to this salon! I highly recommend ”

“Gabriel and Bahia were not just good they were amazing. They have transformed my frizzy hair into a beautiful texture. My confidence has increased and I no longer hate my hair. I will be getting more and more Brazilian Blowouts at this wonderful salon.”

“You know you got a great haircut when you love it the day Gabriel cut it and still love it when it’s time for your next haircut.
”

“I got so many compliments on my Brazilian Blow out and color after having my hair done here! Warm and friendly staff!”

“I’ve done about 3 Brazilian Blowouts with Gabriel and plan to continue going to him and his awesome assistant. It has always been a pleasant experience and I’ve been very pleased with the results every time. I have extremely large and difficult hair; nevertheless they’ve taken their time to ensure a thorough process which I truly appreciate. I always receive a ton of complements from friends and family after getting my hair done with them and Gabriel’s assistant gives me great advice on how to maintain and better manage my hair after every appointment.

Overall, I highly recommend this salon and have not found another place like this in NYC. ”

“Gabriel is the best hairstylist I have ever had! I use him for my haircuts and Brazilian Blowouts. Both the New York and Connecticut salons are very nice. This salon offers high quality personalized service. - Kiana Comizio”

“I love this place! I did my Brazilian blowout in few other places before but non make it fun and easy as Gabriel Shimunov Hair Salon! My hair looks amazing after this treatment. Gabriel and his assistant are very professional and I can tell they know what they’re doing. I recommended to my friends and highly recommend it to you! ”

“The salon is amazing! I was so impressed with the beautiful cut and color job that I made my next appointment already!”

“The salon was very conveniently located (with parking) and they were extremely welcoming and friendly. Bahia did my color and since it was my first time there, she spent time discussing options for me and making sure I was happy. She did a great job; my color looks wonderful so I would definitely go back”

“Gabriel Shimunov is a great salon - the staff is super cool and super friendly. They play a fantastic mix of fun music - not lame lounge music,
So they recommend me some soft layers, very playful but elegant and in my face also some long soft layers to cover my round face shape.
And the color was also perfect. I didn’t want warm color, but as natural as possible. Best hair salon experience I’ve ever had!!!!”

“The vibe of the salon is amazing! Decor is fabulous, music is fabulous, the salon assistant is fabulous and Gabriel is PHENOMENAL!

I rarely get haircuts for two reasons; first, I am very low-maintenance and like bed-head, and second, I always end up paying exorbitant prices for incredibly mediocre haircuts, which is frustrating.
Salon Gabriel makes me want to get a haircut every single day. The atmosphere is totally great- no ultra modern interior, very laid back.
I have very long wavy/curly hair, and most stylists cut it as though it were straight- even stylists who claim to have special training for cutting curly hair. Gaberiel used a specific technique (the name escapes me) that is appropriate for wavy hair as well as straight, so I can let it air-dry or flat iron it. He used Kerastase products, which is what I use at home (a definite plus), and took his time. I wanted layers cut in while keeping the length. When he finished, my hair was soooo straight and incredibly shiny. The layers looked fabulous, and moved when I walked. After washing and styling curly, it looks equally incredible.

As I left the salon and walked back to the Whole Foods numerous vagrants made comments and whistled at me, and I’m pretty sure it was the hair. If that’s not a good recommendation, I don’t know what is. ”

“Gabriel gave me the best hair cut of my life and now 4 of my co-workers go to him as well AND!!! we all have a different look. He is amazingly talented and has a wonderful personality (quick-witted). I am grateful that I have a found him!!!!!!!”

“Gabriel did a wonderful job. Loved the cut he gave, and the salon. I would recommend him.”

“I have very curly hair, and it has always been surprising how few stylists can actually give a good curly haircut Gabriel was fabulous. He listened to exactly what I was looking for and really took his time making sure everything was perfect. The cut looks great both curly and straightened. It’s been forever since I’ve had a cut that I could style so effortlessly and would look good all day long. Plus the prices are very reasonable!! Would definitely suggest curly headed girls try Gabrie”

“Since my stylist of 20 years retired in 2005, I’ve been hopping around in search for the best stylists for my straight hair. After seeing many different stylists as long as two years straight and not really loving it that much, my search continued. More than a year and half ago I decided to do research on great hair cutters. I came across Gabriel’s reviews. They were all excellent. I told many ladies at work about his talents but yet I was afraid to go to him thinking I may be the only one who doesn’t like the cut. because I’m very particular. Since I need a haircut every 8 weeks to maintain my style, I decided to try two new salons first & saw two different stylists over the past 1 1/2 years. I still wasn’t satisfied. I actually made two appointments with Gabriel and cancelled. Finally, I called him again and said I’m ready for haircut with you. He is talented, an artist who transformed my boring bob into an attractive layer cut. My husband said, “did you get a haircut? It’s nice”. My husband over the years says has only said, “did you get a haircut?” Never adding, “it’s nice”. I always had to ask him if he liked it. He never smiled like he did with this cut. People at work complimented the cut. They were like, “wow”. I feel young and hip with this cut. I have thick, medium density straight hair and Gabriel new how to give my hair volume. Gabriel gives individualized attention. Worth the money. The salon is clean, bright, playing soothing music and there’s a TV screen showing a fashion show while you wait. I will be back! ”

“I originally went to Gabriel because of a very poor haircut from another salon. It was so poorly done, I didn’t think anyone could fix the cut without cutting my hair very short. He proved my fear unfounded. I was pleasantly surprised to find he books each client privately! You are not interrupted by others and have his total attention for the entire hour. He has a warm and patient personality and actually listens to your requests. My haircut was fantastic and is growing out beautifully. Gabriel is a true artist in every sense of the word. He “sculpts” your hair to fit your features. I feel his prices are very reasonable for the excellent service one receives. I highly recommend Gabriel Shimunov Hair Salon to anyone looking for technical expertise, and a calm and relaxing experience. ”

“Love my hair...sir Gabriel.. Is a master...need I say more....”

“Gabriel is excellent! Great blowdrys! Definitely recommend people go!”

“I had a photo shoot 2 weeks ago. I have to thank Gabriel for styling my hair. Both the make-up artist and the clothes stylist complimented my hair-do. They asked me where I had my hair done. I also got compliments from my friends.
Hence, I have to say, you are the best, Gabriel.

I have tried so many salons over the years, but have not been happy with the results. It’s really the first time that I am very happy with the outcome.

Gabriel is a real pro. He’s also very kind and nice.”

“I have been getting my haircut with Gabriel for about a year and every time its has been outstanding. The level of service is excellent. Gabriel is always listening for my wishes and is able to translate them into a beautiful haircuts. I am recommending him to all my friends. His service is simply perfec”

“After a disastrous haircut at Bumble & Bumble, I was looking for someone who could not only fix it but also give me a great haircut. I am extremely particular about my haircuts and generally appreciate hair stylists who understand their client’s needs and also have creative insights. Gabriel is totally fabulous! He understood what I wanted and gave me something even better. I was very impressed with his work and will definitely be going back to him! He is not only talented but also very affordable! Well done, Gabriel!!!”

“Gabriel S. has been cutting and styling my hair for years. I moved out of the country and tried other stylists. I had a mess on my hands.I long ago decided that if I was going to be happy I had to make the trip to New York and go only to Gabriel. He rocks! My hair is very curly and frizzy too. He gives me a cut that tames all of that and I always feel beautiful. I can let it air dry or flat iron it and it is always great.
Thank you Gabriel I’ll be back!”

“Never felt so Happy. After a Brazilian Blowout, Gabriel saved me from a very dry, frizzy extremely tight curls, into soft, shiny smooth hair that I always want. I can actually feel my hair again. I love his haircut and the way he styled my hair.. PERFECT !!! I got compliments from everyone and I definitely recommend him to anyone who wants to get their hair done with a perfect service. He’s very friendly and welcoming, and I had a great time talking with him. He listened to what I want and explained all the procedures beforehand. GREAT JOB !!! I finally found the right hair dresser in NYC.”

“Gabriel was AMAZING!!! Very easy to get a last minute appointment and he is a miracle worker! He fixed a butchered haircut I had done and is a great stylist. I will be going to him for all of my future haircuts!”

“Gabriel was great!!! I got the Brazilian Blowout done by him and he did such a great job!! I couldn’t be happier with my hair. I am definitely going back to him when I need some touching up! He was so personable and it was a pleasure from start to end.”

“12/5/2010
WOW, Pleasantly Surprised

I recently moved to North Jersey and was in need of a good haircut. I have to preface this by saying that I am VERY selective when it comes to who I trust with my hair. I was pleasantly surprised with Gabriel. He gave me such an amazing haircut. I have long straight hair and I wanted long layers, sounds simple. However, anyone who appreciates a good hair cut understands the difficulty in getting the layers right. He did such a great job and 3 weeks later I am still loving my haircut. I have been all over the place looking for a good hair stylist. I have lived in NYC, LA, Florida, Philly, and although I have a gotten a good cut here and there, he really is the best. It’s so rare to stumble upon someone who listens and actually does what you want. I couldn’t be happier and I can without hesitation recommend him.

On a side note, I paid $125 ( not cheap but in the range of most good stylists). I tried to tip him and he wouldn’t accept it. I don’t usually tip the owner but I was so pleased with the cut and my blowout.”

“On a friend’s recommendation I reserved a haircut with Gabriel, the owner. I have very straight fine hair, which unlike curly hair leaves no room for error, so I tend to be a bit nervous about new stylists cutting my hair. I shouldn’t have worried a bit because Gabriel was just great. I told him what I wanted and what has gone wrong in the past with other haircuts but he quickly put me at ease. He took off as much as I told him to, not like some places where they try and convince you to do something different or they lop off too much. I was going to a party that night so Gabriel spent the time to really glam me up. My friends totally noticed the new cut and thanks to Gabriel.

Online booking is very convenient.”

“For many years, I have been trying to find a good hairdresser. I found one. It is Gabriel S. He is the best hairdresser you will ever meet He cut my hair to perfection. I was very pleased. His is my number one hairdresser. And I tried all the big names. Nobody equals Gabriel’s expertise.”

“Gabriel is very attentive. He listens and does what you ask him to do! If you want a certain length or style he DELIVERS! I’ll def. be going back to him.”

“GABRIEL did an amazing job on my cut and blow-dry! He didn’t get all “scissor happy” with my hair, instead he gave me a great cut and left the length just the way I like it. He is also really sweet and fun to hang out with... makes it a very pleasant experience.”
