on Citysearch Apr 18, 2010I was visiting family in NYC, when I decided to make an appt. at Gigi Salon. Lorin was a lifesaver as I have very thick hair that is often unruly. I walked out of the salon looking like a million bucks, and I am able to... (more)

on Citysearch Apr 06, 2010I'm not happy with my haircut - It's about 3-4 inches shorter than I wanted (very short) and looks nothing like the photo I came in with. There's not much I can do with it aside from pin it back and let it grow. I previously... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 03, 2010It's possible that some of the stylists know what they are doing... but do not -- I repeat, DO NOT! -- get your hair done by Gigi, the owner. I came in for a trim, and possibly stylish 70's inspired cut. This is what I got:... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 09, 2009Gigi cut my hair, and it took 2 hours because he kept stopping to talk on his cell phone. One girl washed my hair, one girl brushed my hair and pulled on it. Then one girl blow dried my hair and burned my scalp. I hated the... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 23, 2009I used to have hair up to my knee, and the first person who cut it chopped it into a bob instead of my waist as I instructed. From then on it took until Nam for me to really trust a stylist. He listened to what I wanted, and gave... (more)
