I have never really been one to frequent hair salons. In fact, for most of my life, I have tried to stay away from them visiting only once a year...twice a year being a very rare sight. Why? Well you see, I have had long hair my whole life. Long, untouched virgin hair. My fear was always that the hairstylists would ruin that. I mean come on have you not watched the shows where the hair cut goes terribly wrong?! My biggest nightmare!

My Experience

That being said, going into a new salon, especially in a new city was a really big leap for me, and I am incredibly glad I took that leap. Jeffrey Stein 78 was truly the best experience I have ever had at a hair salon. Right upon entry, the receptionist and the other employees greeted me with bright smiles on their faces and took care of me right away. I did not have to wait long and even for the short time that I was waiting they kept me company and made sure to ask if I wanted anything to drink. How sweet!  

I originally went in for a blow out, but requested to get my hair curled when I got there and they were able to accommodate to me without a problem. Within 10 minutes of arriving the pampering already began! They first took me to the back where they shampooed and washed my hair. The products that they used were definitely the best of the best! My hair smelled so good afterwards, not to mention it felt incredibly soft. 

Tiarra was the one who did my hair and she was so sweet. I definitely recommend her if you ever decide to go in. I specifically asked her for "VS Angel" curls and that is exactly what she gave me. What I loved the most is the fact that she asked me if I was satisfied with the curls at the end and if there was anything else she could do. 

Make up Service

In addition to my hair, I was even able to get my make up done by Elina. She is very talented at what she does, I normally don't put on a full face of make up but she was able to gave me a look that was not over the top but still looked perfect for an evening out. She used individual eyelash wispies (which I usually do not use) and it gave my lashes a fuller look. 

Interior and Location

The interior of the place was such a great addition to my experience. I really am convinced that an all white interior gives a place such a clean and professional look. The location was perfect! It is located in the Upper East Side and is accessible by the 6 train.
