woohoo! sonya rocks. long or short, she does it all.

i found sonya on citysearch 2 years ago when i had been growing my dark brown crazy curly hair out from a pixie. i had read reviews that she was great with curly hair and wanted to give her a try. i would say that it got to be about chin length and for 6 months she did a great job of making sure the grow-out did not turn into one huge mushroom shape, and for that i am forever thankful.

however... as one does when they have had short hair for a while, i freaked out and decided that i needed it all chopped off. i wanted it short! the halle berry pixie and i get along. i will admit that i was a bit apprehensive about this since i did not know how sonya did with
*really* short hair, but let me tell you she gives great cuts. she really takes into consideration things like the shape of your face, the shape of your head, and the level of maintenance you are willing to spend on your personal upkeep.

i have now been seeing her every 6 weeks or so and i have not only gotten a great cut EVERY time, but somehow as it grows out it keeps its shape nicely too. and for those of you with short hair, you know that your wig can start to get poofy or weird quick.

oh, she also covers my gray hairs and somehow knows that a lighter shade works. i always went darker; who knew?!

all in all she is just a fantastic cutter, colorist, and a good person. her rates are very reasonable for nyc (i think it's $90 for a haircut and about the same for a color). when i lived in SF it was more, which seems odd to me.

when i move back to SF i am going to have to fly her out to cut my hair. sheesh that's going to be spendy.

i discovered this place on citysearch and since I lived down the street I thought I'd give it a shot.

Although it was a bit irritating to get an appointment because you have to leave a message and they have to call you back and I kept missing their calls! Either way though, it was worth it.

When I walked in I was greeted warmly by Angela who was a total sweetheart and she offered me a drink. I got a glass of red wine and only had to wait a few minutes for Glen to come get me. I told him exactly what I wanted and he did exactly what I asked with no surprises, except that my hair looked awesome and he cut it like no one before! He made my longer length look interesting, not an easy feat.

I recommend this place to anyone who likes to chat with their hairdresser and have a nice glass of wine to relax after a day of work.
