My hair was f-ed up and I was traumatized by hair salons in NYC. Minolo saved my hair with an…read moreinnovative technique that he came up with out of necessity. I usually get annoyed with hair dressers who chop off all my hair because they're lazy and because they try to make me talk (usually to sell themselves...). Minolo had an authentic, real and empathetic personality that I have never encountered in this business. He kept the length of my hair so well and it looks even better. I have never been happier walking out of a salon. Some extra feedback: I live 5hrs away in Brooklyn, NY and stayed upstate for the weekend (as I usually do every few months). I found this place by chance on my way to Guitar Center. I have a few Paul Mitchell products and I like them over the several I've tried (esp. "Super Skinny" serum for my frizzy and wavy/curly hair) - so I decided to walk in. I would definitely come back for Minolo, he treated me like a human being and he is very skilled at what he does. This salon has a lot of integrity. I never walked into a salon like this in my whole entire life. I am really grateful to encounter such wonderful human beings.

I felt that she did such a meticulous job and was absolutely so accommodating to all my hair goals.

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 :)

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!

One side was too short and when I asked why it was un-even, she responded with ," well it's because you said it was too short in one side " YES ITS SHORT BUT YOU HAVE TO MAKE IT EVEN ON BOTH SIDES !!! WTF this should be common sense!! Then she says," it'll grow back" ... And after, I still have to triple check and still pull out my razor to get my side burns even All of this happened even when I showed her a picture of my recent haircut, described how I wanted it, etc etc ...

I had been meaning to get my hair cut forever, but kept not finding time to make an appointment or…read moreanything, so one Friday evening I decided to stop in here. I was surprised how busy they were on a Friday, but after a short wait, I was in Natalie's hands. I normally don't venture out to getting my hair cut much by people I don't know, but I know my mother-in-law and a few other family members come here. Instead of a trim and building trust, I decided to jump right in and cut off about 3 inches of hair. Natalie did a great job and it was fairly quick. She cut the hair to a great length, added some layers, and framing around my face. I was pleased with the hair cut and will probably come back again.

So a new trainee I'm guessing, ended up doing my hair. And I have natural curly 3C hair, and out of all the times going to fantastic Sam's, the hairstylist always got my hair super straight and slick. I went yesterday, and my hair was not only frizzy, but it wasn't straightened at the root, nor on the sides. I was highly disappointed with my hair, and I had to go home and fix it myself, after going to pay to get it done. The customer service was great, I could tell the girl was still learning, but please don't have somebody else do my hair or anyone else's that's not professionally trained to do so. I would've rather them told me that the girl called out then had to pay and be disappointed with my hairstyle. Other than that i've always loved fantastic sams but this appointment was not okay.

We were immediately greeted with water and smiles. Very low-key and relaxing atmosphere. My daughter was so thrilled with her cut, she's been raving about it days later. So often, when you finally get in to see a stylist, you aren't feeling great and not looking your best. It is an enormous relief to talk to a sympathetic professional who wants to help you find your style. She had a pretty big change in style, a short, detailed cut, and it came out great. Dana was confident, reassuring, and super pleasant. Will return.
