HairCraft By Paul and Ben,

"Excited I found my new salon. Sara did my color and got a beautiful blow out with one of the guys (forgot to get his name) but he worked his magic and gave me beautiful wavy curls with no iron. Never had a blow this fast and pretty. My color came out so good! I was scared to try a new spot after having the same colorist for over 10 years, but he moved out of state and I needed to find a new spot that specialized in bright colors. Haircraft staff worked confidently and quick, they’re also soooo nice! Shows how much they value their customers! Bringing my mom next for an edgy short hair cut which I’m sure they’ll master."

"Absolutely the best hair stylists ever! I highly recommend this hair salon to anyone who wants a professional haircut and highlights. They really know what they are doing, and they pay great attention to details, which make their work amazing! The staff is friendly and super nice! I've been receiving so many compliments on my haircut and highlights! I will definitely visit them again for my future hair needs!"

"Don’t go for color and definitely don’t go for balayage!!! I hate that I have to write this negative review because I like them as people, they are very sweet and kind but if I had seen a review of what they did to my color I would NEVER have gone and spent $350 at this salon. They’re great for cuts. But I went for a balayage. I spoke to them a couple of times before and they seemed to really understand what I wanted. I had many reference photos as well. During the colour I noticed she put the color way too high up. I stopped her and said it was too high. Showed her the reference again, she agreed, wiped it off, and started again. I then trusted her to do it right, maybe it was a language barrier thing. I had my first toner put in and it is some insane smelling industrial toner - I have never smelled anything like it and I’ve been getting colour done for 19 years! When the colour was ready I was pretty horrified. She had given me roots! It was like a before photo before you come in to have your roots done. This was NOT a balayage which is significantly more expensive. There was no blending. Awful! I was so stressed. To make it right all they did was tone down the roots. That was the second toner with that industrial strength toner. Which created a blocking of color. And it took another hour of my time. They assured me that washing it would work. It didn’t! I came back a second time - wasting more hours to fix their mess - and showed them the blocks of color very clearly. It was a mess. They toned it AGAIN. Third time. Now my roots are ginger - NOT my natural color at all which is why I wanted a balayage to keep a maintainable hairstyle, to save money, and to keep the colour right for my features. What a mess. It’s going to cost me way more to resolve. It’s been a couple of weeks and I had to see another hairdresser but because they have toned it so many times with that strong toner my hair is so brittle!! It has NEVER been brittle, I have long, thick and very healthy hair and this is the first time in my 35 years that my hair is dry and breaking. The new hairdresser said they shouldn’t do anything because the toner has damaged the hair so much. It is so sad and disappointing. They even had the cheek to tell me how to tip them after the first instance. They did try to help fix it but honestly this should never have happened. What the did was NOT a balayage, not even close. And I wish they would’ve given me my money back - that would been the right thing to do. Don’t go for color and don’t go for balayage!!"

"I have been following Paul everywhere. I am ecstatic he and Ben have their own place. My hair is always amazingly beautiful when I walk out of his salon. New salon and the place is clean and up to date. I have four friends and my mother loving cuts and styles by Paul and Ben. Paul had the midas touch. They have the best hair artists here. LOVE LOVE LOVE and always happy to see Paul"

"Paul has been my hairstylist and colorist for many years, and I’m always so happy with his cuts. The salon at 93 5th Avenue is airy and comfortable, the staff is always courteous and very accommodating. Walk-ins are always welcome. I highly recommend this wonderful salon."
