Hair help: NYC folk please advise...

[fictional]

I am chopping off my hair. At the moment it is quite long, and I intend to cut most of it off, in some sort of radical and new way. I am willing to spend as much money as necessary, but I want the place to be friendly and non-intimidating; at the same time, I want the cut to be really good. I have been going to dramaticsnyc, but while they do well enough for a trim or upkeep, I'm uncertain about their ability to do a really good cut.

Suggestions for places to go?

Thanks in advance.

Ask airspaniel and redstapler they both just got haircuts from someone who actually listened to directions and did interesting stuff. _If_ I cut mine off (um, drastically, surely you can guess the originating impulse), I'll probably use their person.

Nicole at Louis Licari Salon gives the best haircuts in the world. I think they cost $160.00, plus tips for the known universe. When I come to New York, I normally get cut there. One of my sisters with difficult hair uses her.

When I come in to New York this time, I will be seeing someone else as I can no longer afford Nicole. I will try and remember to get you the 411.

Thanks! I will definitely give them a call, and appreciate any and all info you could pass on. Much obliged.

From my other sister: "His name is Brian and it is Lotus Salon the number is 608-7788. He is in 2 locations now. One on Prince and one on North Moore."

She also gets a wonderful haircut and I think it's about half the price.

What about the Beehive Salon? (www.thebeehivesalon.com) They have varying price levels, from $160 to $60, depending on which stylist you have and what you have done. Everyone I know who has been there is pretty stoked on it - I went with A one time and with N another time but have always been too much of a cheapskate to pay for a haircut myself. The vibe is very great - tea, a garden, etc - and non-threatening.

Yeah, you're totally coming with me wherever I end up going. I need moral support!

Did you get your haircut yet? I want to see it! I just cut mine pretty short (at least when compared to the length it was before.)

I also have a recommendation from other people, if you haven't gotten it cut yet.

Nope, not yet! Please go ahead with the rec! I am lame, and procrastinate-y...
