Dario Salon

In NYC for the day so thought I’d get a haircut and highlights before a meeting. I had the awesome pleasure of being Danny’s client and he was amazing! I love my hair and I’d definitely go back next time I’m in town.

Got my hair done by Dario for the first time. Great stylist — patient with my concerns, made great suggestions without attitude. Highlights look soft not brassy and the cut was great too. Staff is all very nice and attentive. Not a factory like a lot of other salons in the area.

Terese is such an amazing person! Best haircut I have ever gotten. I wouldn’t go anywhere else. Worth every dollar!

Germano lives up to the hype. Friendly, quick and talented. $ 45, in and out in 30mins.

Dario’s salon saved my life!!!
I had been trying salons in the area and no one could do a good job with my hair and they all where very expensive.
It’s the best hair dresser i found in the world, together with the one I use in Milano.
Germano is fantastic, I always do my hair with him.
Dario is also fantastic. Have not tried the other hairdressers.
I have sent many friends, especially Italian that tend to be more demanding customers and they have all been happy.
+ the atmosphere is great, all great, good people and good espresso! Fast, easy to get apointments, punctual.

I’ve been looking for a reasonably priced haircut in NYC for about 2 years now and I FINALLY found my new go to spot. Germano is as nice as could be and gave me the best haircut I’ve ever gotten for a great price compared to many other places in the area. Thank you Germano!

Germano was fantastic! Super nice too! I was very vague about what I wanted (because I didn’t really know what I wanted) and with what little guidance I gave him, he made my hair look fantastic. Much appreciated!
A haircut and blow dry took about 40 mins– pretty quick!

HIGH Recommendation!
I work across the street and accidentally found this salon, anybody is great but GERMANO is my go to hair miracle worker. While pregnant, my long hair was just too much to handle. A much needed salon in the area, it is well known with residents and popular with hotels. I LOVE it for a relaxing wash and blow out and feel «Opera ready» when Germano is through artistically shaping my curls. Amazing stylists… the offer of espresso and tea is always very touching too.

My stylist Danny helped me grow out my hair when I shaved it off due to a bad Japanese perm. I went to him every month to trim and proportion my unruly curls into a shape and now my hair is down to my waist. I’m going to say the same thing a previous reviewer said «I always get what I am looking for. Danny is a humble man that does not have big opinions on how to ruin someones hair. In my experience, he is a gem in a city of rocks. Lot’s of stylists out there charge an arm and a leg for their AWFUL opinion. Danny does exactly what you want. He is such a find and I am extremely loyal to this salon because of that. »

This place is a total ripoff.
I need a half inch trim in the back (nape of my neck) as I have short hair and it was starting to get itchy in the back. It’s like needing a bang trim. I needed it done in 10 – 15 minutes which should be totally do-​able and the lady told me it would cost the full $ 75. WHAT?
I’m not paying someone $ 75 for 15 minutes of work. Those are better billable hours than almost any profession. If I could make those wages I’d be a barber too.
There is NO flexibility here to accommodate peoples’ needs. I’d be willing to pay $ 30 for a bang trim, but not $ 75. It’s a shame bc this place is right next to my work so it’d be convenient to come in once a month and get it done, but alas, another business that is inflexible and therefore won’t make my money. Can’t express how disappointed I am with this place, I’d give it 0 stars if I could.

This is my favorite place! I love the people, I love my stylist (Danny). I always get what I am looking for. Danny is a humble man that does not have big opinions on how to ruin someones hair. In my experience, he is a gem in a city of rocks. Lot’s of stylists out there charge an arm and a leg for their AWFUL opinion. Danny does exactly what you want. He is such a find and I am extremely loyal to this salon because of that.
Dario runs a tight ship!

I love Lee Soh. She is very talented, listens to what you want, makes suggestions and is a total sweetheart. I’ve never received as many compliments as I have from this last haircut when I went short again. I love, love, love my easy and stylish new look.

Dario does amazing work. Not that he does my hair… but every time my girl comes home from Dario’s, she looks absolutely amazing! FYI cash only, or checks made out to cash!

I am absolutely delighted with Dario Salon, and Danny in particular.
Today was my 4^th haircut with Danny and I have been really happy each time. What I enjoy in particular is that I can tell him a little bit about what I’m looking to do and then he uses that information plus his own skill and opinion to do something fun.
I have had so many experiences with other hairdressers where they really make you tell them exactly what you want, to a level of detail I’m just not capable of doing. I don’t KNOW how to execute on what I’m thinking, but Danny listens and then does something great.
And because what I want changes visit by visit, it’s great that he can adapt and not once has he just executed the same boring thing. I love it.
And the woman who washes your hair is both efficient and friendly – a completely pleasant experience.
All-​around, my favorite place… and I’m not generally a person who develops loyalties to hairdressers.
And the prices are reasonable, especially for the quality. A $ 75 haircut isn’t bad at all.

I recently had my hair highlighted here. The highlights were way too light and didn’t come close to the root. I left looking like I needed highlights more than when I walked in. I am a very easy customer, I had to be REALLY unhappy to go back, which I did. When I went back to have a very bad highlighting job fixed, they gave me a glaze that dyed my whole head platinum blonde and looked terrible. My hair now looked completely bleached. AND THEN THEY CHARGED ME FOR IT. I felt like such a fool after leaving, having tipped over 20% on the first visit even though I was unhappy, and then paying AGAIN. Very unprofessional and just bad business. I will never go back. I ended up going back to my previous hairdresser and paying another $ 150 for her to streak lowlights through my now platinum head.

Danny is great!!! He takes his time and does a wonderful job. My hair feels smooth and looks shiny every time. This salon has reasonable prices and the staff are all friendly.

I popped in without an appointment yesterday, looking for a shampoo blow dry. The two ladies there were so nice, they took me right away, and I got an excellent blow dry. She quoted me $ 50, then charged me $ 52. Not bad for the location and convenience. And I don’t have to waste valuable energy shampooing and blow drying while I’m here in NYC… I have better things to do like eat pizza and buy fake Burberry purses from street vendors!

I get my hair cut by Dario. What I like about him is that he really listens to what you want before cutting. I’ve had so many hair cuts where it was cut first listen later. I am really happy that I found him.

4.5 stars. My loyalty to this salon is such that I frequented them not only throughout the time I lived in New York but for a couple years after I moved to DC (I managed to get in here every few months when I visited New York).
Theresa — my stylist — is lovely and Irish and wonderful at cutting hair. I don’t think I ever really realized until I moved here the degree to which she saved me from dry frizzy ends, poofy layers, and the need for lots and lots of haircare products. A good hairdresser doesn’t just make your hair pretty for a day — she helps you keep it healthy so it’ll be pretty EVERY day. She’s probably cut my hair more than 20 times and I’ve never had a cut from her I wasn’t happy with. Oh and the free therapy and tales of her native Ireland aren’t a bad deal either!
Add to this the fact that Dario and his team are completely friendly and pretension-​free. Dario has been around forever and likes to tell fun stories about famous hair he’s cut, but prices at his salon remain utterly reasonable. Clients range from his extremely loyal Italian-​American fan-​base to lucky tourists who’ve wandered in off the street to his midtown location.
I really can’t believe no one has reviewed this place. See 5 other reviews at this link (all 4 and 5 stars)
The only drawback is that this is not a place you go to for fun funky or ‘new’ hair. This is about classic good stuff — like a Morton’s Steakhouse for hair (but without the high prices).
