Ashley is fantastic!!! ❤️ I cannot praise or be more grateful to have Ashley as my colorist!!! I always leave feeling renewed and fabulous!!! Backstory: I’ve been coming to see Ashley for years. Since the Pandemic I WFH, and moved 90 mins away, but still travel to the city once a month to get my hair done with her. I wouldn’t dream of another colorist doing my hair (or cheating on Ashley) because I have full trust in her and all she has to do is look at me and know EXACTLY what I need. Over the years working with Ashley, she’s adapted my hair color to suit my complexion, and slowly and gently adjusted the color of my hair and highlights to make my grey’s less noticeable as new hair grows in (she’s a Queen for doing this because my hair grows so fast). I especially love how warm and friendly she is! She really makes her clients feel like #1, and is genuinely interested in helping her clients feel like the inner celebrities they are, while also wanting to know what’s going on in their day-to-day. Ashley is one of a kind, both professionally and as a human. Seriously, if you got this far in my review and still reading just book one appointment with her and see for yourself. Once you sit in her chair, she’ll do her magic, and you’ll leave the salon with a million dollar feel!!! If you do book an appointment with her based of this review, please let her know because it would make her heart so happy. She puts so much love and attention into her clients, I’d love if this review could pay it forward and return the love and attention to this one of a kind human and exceptional colorist!!! ❤️

I have been a loyal client of Lisa Lord at Sam Brocato Salon since 2016, and I can confidently say that she is the absolute best hairstylist I have ever encountered. Lisa is a true master of her craft, and her talent and expertise shine through in every haircut she gives. One of the things I appreciate most about Lisa is her ability to truly listen. She takes the time to understand my hair goals and preferences, and then she works her magic to bring them to life. Whether I'm looking for a subtle trim or a completely new style, Lisa always knows exactly what to do. Her intuition and understanding of hair are truly remarkable. Every time I leave Lisa's chair, I am in awe of how incredible my hair looks. She has an impeccable attention to detail. I have never left the salon feeling anything less than amazed by her work. Lisa has a unique ability to transform my hair, making it look better than I could have ever imagined. Beyond her exceptional skills, Lisa also creates a warm and welcoming atmosphere in the salon. Her friendly demeanor and genuine care for her clients make every appointment a joy. She takes the time to build a connection and make you feel comfortable, which adds an extra layer of enjoyment to the overall experience. I am grateful to have found Lisa, and I can't recommend her enough!

This is a rave review for Leah, specifically her work with GreatLengths extensions. I came to Leah around 2016 to remove extensions; I was taking a break after having had extensions for a couple of years (other stylist/salon). At that time, I had also just moved and found Leah by searching for “extension expert Manhattan” - and an expert is exactly who Leah is. I worked with her as my sole stylish since 2016; she won me over as a remarkable stylist and also a remarkable human being. In September 2022, I was ready to get extensions again and of course, would only consider Leah. This was my first time getting extensions put in by her and I was amazed by the precision work. Leah put in the extensions in a pattern specific to me and my hair goals - thickness vs. length. She also worked directly with my colorist Ashley to identify the perfect color. Together with the cut, the extensions are a natural extension of me. I tell everyone who compliments my hair that it’s extensions from Leah. Everyone is shocked because of how natural it looks and feels. I even sent my best friend to Leah to get extensions for her October 2022 wedding, truly a reflection of this review. Big thanks to Leah and Sam Brocato team for a seamless process from start to finish! You truly know how to make people feel good!

I've been going to Sam Brocato Salon for about 6 years now. Not only do I get cut and color at Sam Brocato, but I also hired them to style my hair as well as my bridesmaids for my wedding. Mary is an amazing colorist and an balayage pro. She worked with me to gradually build my color at the pace that I was comfortable with. I get my cuts with Penelope who is always a delight and really listens to any concerns I have regarding my trims. For styling, I work with the talented Lisa Lord. She was amazing throughout the wedding planning process. She effortlessly made accommodations to my hair style during my trial. She was extremely easy going when planning our timeline and on the day of the wedding when styling 7 women by herself. I happily recommended Sam Brocato to friends and colleagues and have heard nothing but positive feedback. Also, I can't write a review without mentioning their products which not only am I addicted to, but I have created a monster with my mom (who lives 8 hours away) as well. From their dry shampoo to their hairspray to their gloss - we can't live without our Sam Brocato products!!

UPDATE: So I went back to see Victoria again and she did not disappoint. She is lovely and personable to work with, she took the time to see my hair in a different season and make some adjustments. Victoria understands people and artistic color. I am always nervous when I color my hair but she makes is fun and easy. A job well done! ***************************************************************** Victoria is a colorist who works wonders. My hair, bleached by the sun, had me looking like a stranger when I passed myself in the mirror. I brought photos and asked Victoria (and Michelle) to make look like"me" again. WOW! They listened, they worked, they adjusted and when I walked out the door (in the rain) I finally recognized myself. Victoria took her time, explained everything she was doing and gave me the total glam treatment. The color lasted, never went brassy, and I can't wait to see her again. Thank you Victoria and Michele for taking wonderful care of me while in your chair.

  • Monica Routman

This place is amazing. I’ve been coming here for maybe 5-6 years. Christie is a wonderful stylist. She always gets it right. Jennifer is a wonderful colorist. Sam Brocato himself is very friendly and a pleasure to talk to. He formulates the products himself. They all smell amazing. Over the years, I’ve tried more and more products. I love all of them. Favorites are: crown and glory hair masque, love lather shampoo, wherever whenever leave in spray (amazing), the promise land hairspray is a great hold without weighing down or over texturizing, and the sugar wave is great for a beach look. I can’t say enough great things about this place. From the ambiance to the reception staff to the assisting hair staff to the stylists and colorists right up to Sam Brocato. Never had a bad experience. Worth it. I moved out of NYC during the pandemic (now in NC), every time I come back to NY, I try to get in for an appointment.

  • Sina

After living in New York for eight years, I've been on the constant search for a salon that meets my hair needs. Each time I tried a new one, my hair color and cut left me disappointed. I even resorted to waiting until I visited Germany to get my blonde hair just right. However, I've now discovered my go-to salon. I scheduled an appointment with Victoria for coloring, and she's truly exceptional. I shared my preferences, and the results were breathtaking. My hair now boasts a healthy, radiant appearance. She also recommended hair products that have significantly improved its overall health. My haircut by B. was equally remarkable, and I'm sure to book with her again. It's the best haircut I've ever had, leaving my hair in a healthier state than ever before. Do yourself a favor and book your color with Victoria and your haircut with B. You won't be disappointed! :)

  • Susan Norton

I love Sam Brocato Salon. I have been coming here for 10 years. From the moment you walk in you are greeted by wonderful Front Desk staff and treated very special. The owner Sam also treats you like you are special guest. Then it comes to my amazing stylist Diana B who I have been seeing for 9 years. She gets to know her clients, their comfort level and is consistent every time. I thoroughly enjoy my experiences spent in the salon with Diana because I feel like I am spending time with a good friend who is an immensely talented colorist, knowledgeable about hair trends, performs precision haircuts and styles an amazing blow dry. You just trust whatever she is doing so yes my hair is in Diana’s hands. She is a true artist and you are transformed. I look forward to every visit. So this is a 5 star review for Diana! And Sam’s products are amazing.

  • Kathryn Comer

I hadn’t been happy with my hair color for the last 2 years - something just felt not exactly “it”. I went to Victoria M on a “hail mary” and now will never turn back. Not only is she extremely talented but she’s a great and genuine person. I love her energy and always feel better leaving. Also major shoutout for never making me feel like “I have to talk” (im a talker) and it’s nice to have the mental break - although our conversation is always so fun I end wanting to chat lol. Nonetheless, Victoria truly cares about your hair but also your life and you can feel her passion. A note about the salon - a lot of Soho salons are intimidating, this is super welcoming and you don’t feel like you’re not trendy or cool enough to enter lol. Everyone is so sweet and makes the whole experience from entering to exiting wonderful.

  • Karen Nicole

The professional attention to details within a salon ensuring a positive client experience are clearly evident here! I felt both welcomed and informed by the reception staff upon entering and exiting. The space is relaxing and free from overwhelming distractions which I genuinely appreciate. As hair care professionals, Jinks and Michelle were great in communicating how they would process my desired outcome for an updated look utilizing divinely smelling products and detailed artistic techniques to obtain exactly what I had requested with this visit. This was my 2nd hair treatment done by Jinks and her innate ability of making people feel and look beautiful in their own skin does not go unnoticed amongst a superb team. The overall experience definitely had me gliding back towards my day with additional glow wattage!

  • Janelle Silvas

I moved here from California and was bouncing around to random salons in the city trying to find one I was comfortable at. Victoria reached out to me on Instagram asking if I was interested getting my hair done by her. After reviewing the salon and her Instagram photos I instantly said yes! Since then I’ve been back to Victoria 4 times to get my hair done. She’s always been VERY transparent and honest about what she was doing to my hair and the price which is greatly appreciated. The salon itself is very clean and the staff is extremely attentive, even those who are not your stylist. From the second you walk in your are greeted with a smile and asked if you would like any refreshments. This is a very well managed and professional salon and each time I get my hair done my friends rave about it.

  • Isabel Harrell

Ashley corrected my orange and yellow highlight nightmare I got from another salon. Ashley took the time to sit and go over what exactly she was going to do to fix my hair. The minute Ashley and I started our conversation I was at ease and knew I was in good hands. Ashley's work was perfection and she was so fun to talk to! I will recommend Ashley to my friends and family 100%! Ricky cut my hair the same day and gave me a beautiful cut! Ricky was very professional, taught me the difference between hair repair products versus products that add moisture. He was so much fun to talk to and made sure I was comfortable the entire time. I will recommend Ricky to my friends and family as well!! Let me just say, I left Sam Brocato feeling amazing and very happy!! Thank you ❤

  • Elizabeth Clark (MCPG Design)

I've been going to this salon for 5 years now and wouldn't consider going anywhere else! Penelope is the absolute *best* for cuts, and is a magician at adding body and texture to long, fine hair. I always walk out of the salon feeling like a supermodel. Mary does my color and gives me incredible, natural looking highlights - it grows out without any obvious lines and it allows me to go a long time before having to touch up. Penelope and Mary are also just a downright joy to be around! The salon is clean and cheery, and all the staff is super friendly and professional. Jenna, the salon director, walked me through a ton of hair/makeup options for my wedding and made everything super easy. Can't say enough good things about Sam Brocato and their amazing staff! Five stars!

  • Rashi Vora

I went to the salon after reading the reviews for hair color and got an intense reaction from the products used. I had severe rashes and blisters all over my scalp, neck and ear. I’ve coloured my hair 5 times in my life so far and have never faced something like this. While colouring my hair, the stylist forgot to remove the glaze from a spot near my ear which I wiped off, and that part had the maximum impact. It was incredibly painful as well. My Dermat was surprised by this too, and I was on extremely heavy medication for a week. It’s been over 10 days and it’s still bad. I would have never expected a place like this to give me such a bad experience. I reached out to the stylist as well, and she just recommend I speak to a doctor. Really do not recommend this place!

  • KM T

I have been a client at Sam Brocato for over 7 years and because I get my color done every 4 weeks...I spend A LOT time there. The staff are always friendly, helpful and so accommodating. Kristen and Ashley are amazing for color! They know exactly how to blend the color to keep my red vibrant throughout the seasons. Penelope is my stylist...I simply adore her!! Whether your hair is short or long, curly or straight, Penelope's precision cuts are always complimentary. You will leave the salon feeling renewed and beautiful! SBs products are amazing!!! The color does not dry out my hair, despite my 4 week turn around, and their full range of shampoo and styling products are perfect for any hair type/ texture. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE this salon and know that you will too!!!!

  • June Burstein

I've been coming to this salon for years. Mark and John James are the the people I use. Mark is a genius at color and I think of him as a painter. There is no color he is unable to do. I have gone through many different colors. He is creative and has been able to come up with new ideas. He is amazing. John James is is a master stylist. His haircuts are so well crafted. He know what to do with your hair according to texture and shape of your face. He is open to suggestions but will not do something if he doesn't think it will look good. The salon is very welcoming and comfortable. The atmosphere is very professional and friendly. They have many amenities and the staff is there to help. I can't see going anywhere else.

  • Yohanna

I love this place. We come from north Carolina and found this salon last minute in December; my daughter needed a haircut and we met Lesley. My daughter loved the result! We are in town again and made an appointment not just for my daughter but for myself, too this time. Damien was my hairstylist and he was amazing! So much knowledge and so caring. We can't find anyone where we live that does a nice job so making a trip here for a haircut is worth it if you want to feel beautiful and have healthy looking hair. Not only do they do such a good job but they helped us in choosing the right products for our hair types. Lesley did my daughters hair again and my daughter is very content! Definitely recommend!

  • Megan Tefft

Thank you Sam Brocato Salon! I went for my first quarantine cut after attempting to cut my own. I was pandemic-anxious, but all nerves were assuaged when I walked into the salon and Sean from reception warmly greeted me and gently reminded me of safety protocol. The salon is taking every precaution. It is SO clean and everyone is SO lovely from front desk to blow out. PENELOPE LOVE will make your dreams come true. She gave me the most amazing scalp treatment, cut and style (and talking to her feels like home, such an empath). My hair definitely needed some love, but she provided the safe, serene, and calm EXPERIENCE I was so desperate for. Love you, Penelope ❤️!

  • Lucia Gomez

I am giving this business a one-star rating because I had an extremely unsatisfactory experience. I paid $52 for eyebrow and lip services, but what I received was a job that was far from professional. The quality was disappointing, and I ended up having to fix my brows myself, which I managed to do much better than they did. As someone who frequently travels for business worldwide, I can confidently say that this was one of the worst places I've encountered. Additionally, the staff gave off a 'mean girls' vibe, which is not something I would recommend to anyone seeking a pleasant and professional experience. Wouldn't recommend to anyone.

  • Nancy Morrow

I’ve been going to Sam Brocato for over 5 years and I’ve enjoyed every experience. The employees from front desk to assistants are so friendly, experienced and welcoming. You can enjoy a glass of wine or a cup of coffee while being beautified. Kristin has been doing my color since I started going to Sam Brocato. She’s the best! My color always looks amazing and fresh. I receive compliments all the time. Also for my cut, I have been going to Leah. She knows what style looks great on me and is able to make my thick hair have lots of movement! I would be in hair hell without these two lovely ladies and Sam Brocatos great products.

  • Susanna P

I love Sam Brocato Salon so much that even after I recently moved far from NYC I plan trips where I can go and get my hair cut and colored here! I have been going to Penelope for cuts for almost 10 years - she is simply the best. She will collaborate on any look you want and makes sure you're satisfied...but at this point I trust her so implicitly I let her just do whatever she thinks will be best. I get tons of compliments on my cuts!! I started going to Alyssa for color 4 years ago - she is also amazing, and does absolutely beautiful color work. Their customer service is top notch.

  • Jennifer Dowd

The best hair color and haircuts I have ever had. Diana B. for color and cut and Lisa L. for cuts and styling are amazing artists. This salon also works miracles if you want to let your grays come in naturally and beautifully. I have been a client already for the last few years and we will keep coming back forever. After trying over 7 top salons in NYC over the last twenty plus years this will be the last one I ever need. The front of house staff is also amazing. I can’t say enough about this salon, their amazing people who welcome everyone and incredible products.

  • Anna Spahidakis

Sam Brocato salon is the best hair salon in NYC. So glad that I stumbled upon this hidden GEM. All of Sam’s hair products are amazing, my hair as never felt healthier. Best haircut in NYC. Loved it so much that I recommend him to everyone. I have finally found my hair salon for life. Sam Brocato is simply a hair artist. His precision, patience, and love of his craft is unlike any other. In addition to his professional excellence, he is one of the nicest people you will ever meet. If you’re not in the area, Sam Brocato hair salon is most definitely worth a trip.

  • Parker Conneen

I had the best experience here at Sam Brocato Salon! As soon as I walked in the door I was warmly welcomed, offered a beverage and helped with my bags. Everyone here is so kind they immediately made me feel comfortable. Michelle and Jen did an amazing job with my blonde highlights. They paid such great attention to detail, truly did not miss a beat. They went above and beyond my expectations and left me feeling so confident and happy with my new hair! I highly recommend going to this salon with all your hair needs! Thank you Michelle and Jen you’re the best!

  • Laura Collins-Hughes

When Diana Baksh moved to Sam Brocato Salon, I followed her because she is the best: a hairstylist of meticulous artistry, whose cuts draw compliments from strangers. She has a superb eye and an excellent mind, and she’s a terrific conversationalist. If you need transformation, she will transform you, but she’s also brilliant at maintaining looks. She’s done both for me. Either way, she sends you back into the world refreshed and feeling better about yourself, because she’s helped you look so much better. Diana is a marvel. You could not be in finer hands.

  • Mimi Cohen

I love Sam Brocato Salon, and I love my colorist, Diana! I live in Central Harlem, and happily travel down to Soho for my monthly color. The salon totally saved my hair after I let it all go during the early days of the pandemic. Diana has years of experience as a colorist, gives you exactly what you want, has an effervescent personality, and makes you look gorgeous. She always gives me an amazing blow dry, which is so important to make you feel confident. I highly recommend Diana for color, blow dry, cut, shampoo, conditioning - everything!

  • Alicia Westphal

Ashley Moore did a flawless color transformation for my hair today! I went from dark blonde with blond highlights to a mahogany red mix. I knew I wanted the dark brown and red, and she worked her magic to make it perfect for my skin tone. Ashley was friendly, engaging, and made me feel gorgeous. I 100% recommend her to anyone looking to have fun (or just look fantastic) with their color and style! Karen also did my brows to coordinate; she was personable, knowledgeable, and clearly talented! I loved my experience and will definitely return.

  • Caty

Sam Brocato Salon goes above and beyond to provide a hair care oasis in busy NYC. From the warmth at the front desk, greeted with a beverage of your choosing, to the incredible products it's a wonderful experience from start to finish. Victoria is an amazing blonde colorist and I feel so lucky to have found her! She listens carefully to understand the color you want and your hair goals to make a one of a kind beautiful creation! I trust her completely with my color. Her sunny personality only makes the visit that much more fun!

  • Jahnavi Shah

I got my hair coloured here by Gaia Brogioni and had the most pleasant experience. The salon is beautiful and they do a fantastic job at making you feel comfortable. Gaia took all my preferences into considerations and gave me exactly the type of hair color that I was looking for. I was anxious before coming because I was experimenting with a new shade but the hairdresser gave me exactly what I needed / would look good on my skin tone. I am very happy, would go again and highly recommend both the salon and hairdresser :)

  • Risa

I have been using Michelle Aileen and Stephen for years. They are both consummate professionals and I always enjoy the time I spend with them while they are making magic with my hair. The salon is lovely and the staff is wonderful. Professional and friendly. Always asking if you are comfortable and if you’d like a beverage. I have been so impressed with their policies during the pandemic and their strict attention to safety and detail, making my experiences there during difficult times very safe and enjoyable. - Risa

  • Bridget Kilgallen

Stephen Wang aka Fashion Dragon has cut my hair for years. I would never go to anyone else. He has always done a fabulous job. I have recommended him to a lot of my friends & family and they all love him. He is a master stylist that always takes his time & his haircuts are done with precision. I was in his new downtown salon and it is a beautifull space. The staff are very welcoming and they are taking every precaution in these scary times. Would highly recommend Stephen and this wonderful Salon. 5 stars all the way

  • Kate Greer

I have been coming to Sam Brocato Salon for years and have never been disappointed. I get a number of beauty services here and always leave very pleased. Jessica is my stylist and has been for a number of years. She is a true artist who always listens to what kind of a cut I am looking for, and makes suggestions that would enhance my look. She is super knowledgeable, patient, personable, with a great sense of style that always translates into her work. I highly recommended her! -Kate Greer

  • Lesley Goldberg

I returned to the salon soon after it reopened and felt very safe there. They have set up many protective procedures like having us wait outside on comfortable benches, a temperature check, plastic bags for my purse, and of course, plastic separating me from other clients. The stylists wore PPE. As usual, Diana Baksh did an outstanding job and fixed four months of neglect. She mixes the best magenta shade, tempered by a bit of orchid, and places it perfectly. Great cuts from her also.

  • Cecilia Jackson

I moved to NYC three years ago and needed a new salon that I trusted for my hair cut and color. I was recommended to try Sam Brocato Salon by a co worker and I have been hooked ever since! Penelope does my cut and let me tell you my hair has never looked better. My hair is so much more healthy and manageable after seeing her. I recommend her and the salon to everyone! The team at SB is always super nice and helpful. The level of service you receive is amazing!

  • Angela Petruzziello

Love getting my hair cut at Sam Brocato!. I have been going to Penelope LeGrady for a few years now and she always goes above and beyond. Not only do my cuts always look great, she takes a lot of detailed time on my thick hair. The salon experience there is always fantastic as well (love that they always offer you a drink) and the overall aesthetic gives you a cool, downtown trendy vibe. Cannot say enough good things and highly recommend Penelope to anyone!

  • Stephanie Freund

Always a lovely experience here. My colorist does an amazing job and she's so fun to talk to. She gives me the best advice for keeping my hair at a good place in between visits. She offers amazing products for me to use. My stylist is also amazing and provides me with fresh and updated haircuts. The staff is always super amazing and makes me very comfortable being there, offers me water and snacks while I wait. They also play some really fun music!

  • Katya Jadwick

Victoria gave me the best coloring experience I’ve ever had! I am completely blown away and in love with my hair. Victoria was very professional, knowledgeable and considerate. She went above and beyond as far as caring for my hair as well, giving me tips for treatment and care along the way. I have very long and difficult to style hair so I appreciated this immensely. The whole time I just felt like I was in the best hands. Highly recommend!!

  • Jessica Bogdanov

Had an amazing experience with Victoria, she did an incredible job matching my roots to the color I originally came in with. She took her time and made sure I was comfortable. She also walked me through every step of what she was going to do and what products she was applying to my hair. She recommended I also do some highlights which made my hair pop even more. It was easy to trust her and I’m really happy with how my hair came out!

  • Payton Baker

I cannot recommend this salon enough! I saw BB and she was incredible. I moved to NYC over a year ago and had yet to find a hair salon that I trust, especially considering how particular I am about my hair! I felt so welcomed from the second I walked in and B did an absolutely wonderful job. She listened to exactly what I said, and exceeded expectations! I’ve never had so many compliments on my hair. Def. Come. Here. !!

  • Emily Finkelstein

Lesley did my hair and my mom's hair for my wedding. She did an INCREDIBLE job. More importantly, she was kind, patient, understanding, and a wonderful listener. I cannot recommend her enough. She also cut my hair a few weeks prior, and I was very happy with how it turned out. If you are looking for a reliable, talented, kind person to do your hair for a special event - look no further - Lesley is the absolute best.

  • Karen Alvarez

Jade is wonderful! I have thick wave hair. Jade from the get-go understood my hair type. She gave me an amazing haircut that looks natural but at the same time is stylish. She also asked me question to ensure she was understanding my concerns. Her blow-dry skills are fabulous! The blow-dry lasted several days. I have been going to Sam Brocato for over a decade and I always leave very satisfied from the salon.

  • Hannah Rae Faulk

Victoria is amazing! I was nervous to try my first highlights EVER and the color was perfect. I was obsessed and keep coming back for more. if you’re a brunette looking for some golden low maintenance natural highlights to look your summery best, this is your place and this is your girl! I’ve tried multiple stylists here too for cut and every time they have not disappointed. highly recommend this salon!

  • Amanda Amendola

Michelle at Sam Brocato is the absolute best! I’ve been getting highlights for years and my hair has never looked better leaving the salon. She is absolutely amazing at what she does and is beyond talented! She takes her time and makes sure she knows what your expectations are which is extremely important. Highly recommend Michelle to anyone in need of a new hair stylist in the NYC area.

  • Marie Collins

5/5 service and hair styling! Having a blonde specialist with such great attention to detail made the experience that much better! Victoria was outstanding and so personable in ensuring her clients are satisfied with the result! I also went in for a big change, cutting my long locks for the first time in over a decade and B made me so comfortable and excited to style the new look!

  • Mona Swanson

I’ve been doing thermal relaxing and haircuts with Jessica at Sam Brocato salon for 16 years, and can’t say enough positive things about her. She is truly amazing at what she does, and on top of it, she is an absolute pleasure to be around. I get my hair relaxed every 8 months, and each time is about 4-5 hours - and I love my catch up time with her!! Highly, highly recommended!!

  • Frances Rucker

I had previously gotten highlights that I didn’t love from another salon and they had started to grow out and my hair was just kind of a mess. I went in to see Jen Jinks and she totally transformed my hair. She got it to the perfect shade of honey brown with great undertones. I’ve gotten a ton of compliments on it and couldn’t be happier. Highly recommend Jen and this salon.

  • Bethany Purney

I've been going to Sam Brocato Salon for about four years, and Penelope (cut) and Kristin (color) are the dream team! They helped me grow out a platinum pixie cut with zero awkward phases (I know, I didn't think it was possible either) and made every stage something fun/that I looked forward to. Now I cannot imagine trusting anyone else with my favorite accessory. :)

  • Syma Rose

I absolutely LOVE this salon. I feel genuinely taken care of every time I see Victoria and I feel like everyone in the salon is always working together to give their clients the best experience ❤️ Victoria has helped me on a long journey to recover from getting my hair totally wrecked at a different salon. I never want to go anywhere else to have my hair done.

  • Angelica Berry

Cristie is the best! She is an expert in curly cuts and an absolute sweetheart. She gives me a perfect curly bang and shag cut every time. I've had my hair cut by her 3 times thus far and will continue to use her as my stylist. The salon is lovely. The staff is friendly and efficient. The booking process is easy. Their line of haircare products are great.

  • Houndz Hood

The Sam Brocato Salon is an amazing salon! Just came out with a beautiful color done by Michelle and Jinks. My hair was colored, plus given highlights, lowlights and glazed.Michelle and Jinks pay so much attention to detail, take their time, and make sure everything is perfect. Thank you both- I love my hair! And the coffee.... wow! Thanks so much! Terri

  • Hannah Johnson

Such a gem of a salon. Would recommend to anyone no matter hair type, color, haircut, treatment etc. My blonde hair was extremely damaged and in pretty rough shape when I first went to Victoria. She completely brought my hair back to life and colors it to perfection every time. Definitely worth the money and time, this salon and Victoria are 10/10

  • Bailey Blaise Mariea

I cannot recommend Gaia enough!!! My entire salon experience was so lovely and seamless, and Gaia is a color queen! She was so easy to communicate with throughout my color transformation, and she completely understood and delivered exactly what I came in wanting. I couldn’t have asked for a better colorist and am so grateful to have found Gaia!

Diana Baksh is THE BEST! I have been a client of hers for years and whenever I am at Sam Brocato’s they treat me like royalty. Diana can cut long, short, and her coloring is custom blended, long lasting, serious coverage for the gray. She is a versatile and talented stylist that helps my whole family (young and old) look their best.

  • Laura Tisdale

Gaia is the best hair stylist I’ve ever been to! She is so talented and gets my color perfectly. I’ve seen her through having brown hair, blonde, and now copper and she has nailed every look while keeping my hair the healthiest it’s ever been. She’s so hard working and super detailed. I recommend her to everyone!

  • Claire Crutchfield

After a 4 year search for a colorist in NYC, I am so happy to have found Michelle at Sam Brocato! She is amazingly talented and truly gets to know you and your hair goals. I have an incredibly thick head of hair and she takes the time to weave delicate, fine, & perfect highlights. Couldn’t be happier! ☺️

Mime is a fantastic colorist ! I had an overall color with highlights, and my hair looks so beautiful! A bright vibrant red with strawberry highlights. She really put in a lot of time and was so kind, attentive and professional. The salon instructor was also very good. Beautiful salon in Soho.

  • Coco Limberakis

So mad at myself because I’m blanking on my amazing stylist’s name - my mom and I came to get our hair done for my bridal shower and we had the best experience all around. I had the best hair of my life and am so grateful to everyone here. Thank you for making it the best hair day ever.

  • Katherine Hudson

Victoria was able to fit me in for a quick face framing highlight before my beach trip! I am really particular about my blonde hair color and I am so glad I went to Victoria! I already booked my partial highlight to go back for more in a few weeks because I love the color so much!!!

  • Maggie Alleva

Victoria is an incredibly talented colorist! She touched up my roots perfectly and professionally, while bringing my color back to life! She matched the reds so well and the entire experience was lovely. I would absolutely trust her with any and all hair coloring needs.

  • Jackie Stauffer

Came for a last minute blowout and picked it because it was close to my hotel had good ratings. Lisa was amazing. She was efficient yet thorough and blew out my hair exactly as i wanted it - she even trimmed a few stray hairs at the end for me. Will definitely be back!

  • Falyn Mapel

Always love getting my hair cut by Abigail and had such an amazing first experience getting colored by Mimi! They made me feel so comfortable and confident during my hair transformation. They are so personable and talented, I will always come to Sam Brocato for hair!!!

I have been here a few times with Damien and I have never felt so special getting my hair done. He takes his time and care every time and he’s so amazing that I had to buy a gift card for my friend to come see him. I can’t wait for my next haircut! He is truly magical!

  • Lee Harrington

I cannot recommend Sam Brocato Salon more. It is always such a joy and I feel like a better person at the end of any appointment. Lisa is so talented and a joy. And Victoria is an expert at hair color! The result was subtle, beautiful and exactly what I wanted!

  • Vivian Cavanaugh

Victoria is the best! I came in with super damaged hair from being a blonde and she made me feel so much better about it and helping me get it back to being healthy. My hair already looks and feels healthier and I am obsessed with the color!

  • Kate Mills

Got a fantastic cut here with Damien! He knows how to make an idea reality with his creativity and years of technical expertise. Salon is also very nice and people are friendly all around. They also have a nice line of clean hair products.

My favorite salon. Tana (color) and Jessica Delfin (cut/style) are my go-to team. Healthy, beautiful, thick hair - no damage to my natural 3B curls. At Sam Brocato, I get to versatile with color, length, and style.

A+ all around. From booking to blowout, everything about my experience was 10 stars. Victoria did an AMAZING job with my color and John James was FANTASTIC at my blow out. Great environment and team. Thanks!
