I really enjoyed my hair cut here last time so I definitely had to return to dye my hair as well. I…read moregot my hair done by Liz and she did absolutely amazing! I felt that she did such a meticulous job and was absolutely so accommodating to all my hair goals. I have naturally dark and thick Asian hair with faded ombré so to get this result that exceeds by expectations is astonishing! I definitely recommend Liz if you want to get your hair done here ~ Also everyone did amazing with maintaining COVID protocols from what I saw. Everyone always wore a mask and sanitized after every person so always a plus! I was texted right before my appointment to be notified that the station was nice and clean for me to use :)

I had color, 2/3 highlights, and a cut with Kristina who I was told was a Level 3 stylist. Kristina was very nice and she tried to deliver. But my bill came to $422!! I have never, EVER paid that much and been SO disappointed in my hair!!! I can't really see the highlights and it is much too short. The result I received was definitely not worth that amount of money!! I am so disappointed!!!

Lovely Salon. I'm coming to the area after living in ATL, Detroit, Chicago, and Cape Town with…read morenatural 4c hair. This salon has skilled stylists that actually know how to deal with different types of hair in different stages, lengths, textures, styles. I have gotten silk pressed, deep conditioning, trims, wash and gos and flexi rods. My hair has always been hydrated, shiny, bounced, and it does not explode or puff the next morning (IYKYK). I have also seen other people getting other types of styles. I would say the salon seems to cater to natural hair. Hair health is important here. You won't smell burned hair (in the air or when you wash your hair later). Low heat is used for blow drying. The stylists are knowledgeable. They ask about your preferences rather than just doing what they want (another strong sign to me that they know what they are doing). I always leave happy with the way my hair looks. I will add that the ambiance of the place so also really nice. The inside is pretty, well decorated, clean, and everything is in order. It's nice not to have my hair sweat out while I am still in the chair. This is a salon that takes its self seriously and I love it. I appreciate the professionalism and friendly customer service. They also make my life easy with online booking. This place is what I have been looking for and I am so glad to have found it.

Beauty comes from inside. Inside Christopher Brian Salon…read more Love is in the hair at CBS, and I'm hair for it. Its fearless leader and his team of stylists play with scissors for the shear fun of it, and are the ride-or-dyes you and your hair have been looking for. Nestled into the ground floor of Troy's beautiful Proctor's Theater building on 4th Street, with its highly decorative front facade of brick and marble covered in glazed terra-cotta, it's no surprise to discover that the salon's insides match its outsides. The interior is seriously sophisticated, with light and dark grey walls serving as the perfect contrast against the large floor-to-ceiling windows and big, beautiful green plants that call the bright window seats home. The main floor is a neat little grid of beautiful styling stations, and mirrors, plenty of mirrors - even full wall-length mirrors - except instead of feeling like you're trapped in a funhouse, you're lost at Barney's, and loving it. A fun feature I really loved: each stylist's station is equipped with a mini Husky or Stanley branded tool chest on wheels, including a massive tool chest at the makeup bar. So like, not only does it add a cool masculine feel to the chic space, but I love the message that sends to clients, like, "Yeah, we work with tools, too!" Nice flex, guys. The best seat in the house, however, is in Christopher Brian's chair. Sure, he has a slew of super talented hairstylists working with him, but Christopher Brian speaks hair; English is his second language, and I've never had a bad hair day with him. Facts. Christopher works incredibly fast yet extremely precise, and with the eye and talent of a professional who's been behind the scenes at NYFW. I've long been privy to his next-level hair skills, and I'm incredibly happy to be back in his chair once again. He works in every color of the color wheel, but he's a self proclaimed Blonde Lover/Expert/God, and those are my people, so hair I am! I would behoove anyone with a scalp, and a pulse, to visit Christopher Brian Salon, sink into a luxe chair, and let one of its awesome stylists give you the change you're seeking! In a sea of talented professionals in the Capital Region hair game, Christopher Brian and his team are definitely top-tier!

Gentle hands and very quiet which makes for a peaceful experience (personal preference for a quiet hair cut). Simple cut $25 and he takes the time to straighten my hair at the end which I love. Definitely worth the visit! He gets busy on weekends so a weekday is your best bet. A bit of a language barrier but enough conversation to get the job done and explain what I'd like for my cut.

Jan got me started on pedi & mani with diligent young lady- was great! By 1:12pm Jan was finally ready to cut my hair after shampooing, $15 eyebrow wax that she talked me into, & finally voila, a $55 10-min haircut with no layers nor shape. I asked for side bangs 3 times & each time was met with resistance. "I don't want to cut too short" I gave up after the third ask. Conversation was also intrusive - where do you live? What's your job? What's your ethnicity? This is supposed to be a relaxing experience, not an interrogation. Total bill $145. Will not be going back for sure.
