Frank Paul Salon

I just got back from getting my hair cut by Suzy. This is the best hair cut I have ever gotten. My hair look amazing! She was so quick like a wizard! Absolutely love it! Definitely going back! Everyone was super nice!

FYI: I didn’t purchase any deals — I don’t know why the review says «purchased a Unilocal deal», but until I figure out with Unilocal how to remove that, just FYI.
I’ve been to FPS twice, once about a year ago, in 2015, and once just a few days ago. Sadly, I don’t believe I’ll be returning. The salon is nice and clean, prices are very decent, and Jeff is great with haircuts, I have no complaints about that, but, as other reviewers have said, the place is quite old-​fashioned. My biggest qualm has to do with the «cash only» policy. I generally do not shop at cash-​only places — for a variety of reasons, including my personal financial system (it’s harder to keep track of and/​or dispute charges when paying in cash versus a card), and the many examples I have seen of businesses trying to avoid paying the normal taxes by going cash-​only (I’m not a fan of people not paying their taxes in general).
Both times I went, I found out on the spot that it was a cash-​only place. No one warned me on the phone, no sign on their website said so (btw, they could do a better job with the website. There’s almost zero information on services and prices —
, I had to use a third-​party website to get an idea —
. The website looks like a work in progress that has been abandoned). The second time I went, and complained about not having been reminded of their cash only policy, I was told it was practically my fault for not remembering — «we only tell new clients, we expect returning clients to remember». I haven’t been here in almost a year! Any responsible business makes sure to politely remind their clients of their policies, especially if said policies are not the norm (anymore) in the industry. Cash-​only is something that should be made clear. Paying involved a major inconvenience, because I didn’t have my debit card with me (only credit cards), so I couldn’t withdraw money. I had to call a friend, etc, etc. (I also was unable to properly tip because of this, since the person had brought me only the exact amount required — this was frustrating, because Jeff had been great, and I felt like I wasn’t able to fully acknowledge his service).
Let’s not even talk about apps, or accepting Apple Pay/​Samsung Pay, etc.
There are also other minor things, for e.g.: after the haircut, there was no clean-​up (where they gently remove the tiny hairs left on your face with a soft, bushy brush), even after they saw me standing in front of the mirror picking up hairs from my forehead myself. Maybe that’s not standard industry procedure anymore, but even a tissue would have helped.
I’m sorry to leave Jeff, he’s great, but until the place rectifies its policies and joins the rest of us in the 21^st century in a developed country, I’ll search elsewhere.

HORRIBLE. DO NOT LET SUZZY TOUCH YOUR HAIR. The salon is a complete scam: the staff is unprofessional and simply cannot cut. They chopped of 10 inches of my hair when I clearly asked to only trim the ends and keep it as long as possible. And the hair cut is as choppy as it could be. When I saw how I looked after I walked out — never ever have I had worse looking hair in 33 years of my life. I came back to see the owner of the salon and he was disrespectful. Bottom line — this is not an environment and work I would ever recommend to any of my friends or colleagues.

It was a good haircut and Suzy was very friendly but the place is very old school and seems to cater to an older clientele. If you care about vibe/​getting a free drink with your haircut/​learning about new products, this won’t be a good bet. Cash only.

I moved to Frank Paul to follow my hair cutter Ana. She’s relatively new to what appears to be a stellar cast. I haven’t done much in the past except trims, but today I decided to do a layer cut. It turned out fabulously. Ana is simply terrific.

Found this salon via Unilocal and trusted the great reviews but when I walked in my instincts told me to turn around and rebook somewhere else. But not wanting to be rude I went ahead with my cut. Everything about the place is very outdated and felt like it primarily caters to an older clientele. The staff was very nice but after talking to my stylist and showing her a picture of exactly what I wanted she went almost an inch shorter than what we discussed. I was also underwhelmed by the product they used on my hair. All that was used to style was Tresame hairspray. I’ll wait a few months for my hair to grow out and find somewhere a little more modern to update my cut.

What a great hidden neighborhood salon! You could easily walk by this salon without knowing about it since it is on the second floor next to the love drugstore. I read the reviews on Unilocal and decided to give it a try. Anna gave me a great haircut and worked with me to choose a bangs style that looked good on my Asian face to elongate it and flatter my round face. She cut face framing layers which also looks better than other layered cuts I have gotten in the city. For the past week with my new hair style, I have been receiving compliments from family, friends and coworkers. I recommended that they also try Frank Paul salon, since they were professional, friendly, and showed expertise in hair.

I don’t usually get haircuts in NY because it’s so expensive and I’m rarely satisfied with that haircut. However, after reading all the reviews here I decided to take my chances and get a haircut. I have to say I was very satisfied! Stylists usually complain and whine about how thick and how much hair I have (because it means more hair to cut and by extension it takes longer to cut), but Jeff was very friendly took his time and did a great job. I didn’t come out of the salon with wispy thin hair all my thick hair was still there and in a stylish cut. Although he did cut a little too much hair on my side bangs overall I was very pleased. The price was right and I would certainly go back for another cut. Jeff also blowdried my hair beautifully left it straight and gorgeous.

Everything about the experience was outstanding. Suzy was amazing, knew what to do and was very professional and helpful.
Love my cute new hair and highlights. highly recommended to everyone on the UWS

Finally finally finally I have found the perfect hair salon!
I called for a pretty last minute appointment and Jeff was available.
The place that I went to before really messed up my hair, I asked for highlights and basically got a full head of one color which was supposed to be light blond but turned out orange.
I am so glad that I found Jeff at Frank Paul Salon and can recommend anyone to go and see him, I was super nervous and left SUPER happy.
After months and months of looking for the right place, I have finally found it in Frank Paul Salon, I will post pictures over time to show everyone how great Jeff is.
Thank you Jeff, you are the best.

I did my homework before choosing the Frank Paul Salon, which is both local and highly reviewed. Although my appointment was later in the afternoon, there was no time ‘back up’. Punctuality is critical: no one likes to be left waiting a long time. The woman who departed hairstylist Jeffrey Miller’s chair said as she was leaving, «I’ve had Jeffrey do my hair for years. He’s great.» Her hair looked really well coiffed: you could see the ease in the cut and his skill. I have no idea what works to my type of hair, my face shape or my age, so I nodded to his experience and let him do his thing. He pondered before executing and came up with an extremely light and flattering cut. Jeffrey was knowledgeable, polite, and made it happen. He will be my hairdresser here on out.

The great Unilocal reviews led me to Frank Paul’s. I was looking for an affordable and casual salon with friendly staff and I definitely found all of those here. My short hair was way overdue for a cut, but I kept pushing it off since I did not want to spend at least another $ 80 to be disappointed yet again. I found that stylists are usually hesitant to go short for women, maybe because it is not common. Furthermore, my hair is super thick and straight, so I have not had the best luck. Based on pictures of other reviewers I noted that Jeff was highly recommended for pixie cuts.
I came a bit early and the customer that Jeff was finishing up with raved about how amazing Jeff is and how he has been coming to him for years. Jeff was extremely warm and made me feel right at ease. He asked all the right questions and played with my hair. He knew right away what kind of hair I had. I showed him various pictures of what I thought were nice, but wasn’t sure if I could pull off with my hair type. He was willing to take risks and he really took the time to give me a flattering cut. We also had great conversation. I immediately got a compliment on my train ride back from a woman who also has short hair and was looking for a salon in the area. I will definitely be back!

Just posted some photos of Jeff’s great haircuts over this past year! I continue to get compliments on my cut everywhere I go. Particularly if you’re thinking of going short, Jeff is your guy. He is really great about understanding and doing exactly what you want. He also spends a lot of time perfecting the cut so that it looks incredible long after you leave his chair!

As all the other reviews have said — a truly wonderful experience! By far the best blowout I have ever had! My family usually frequents a high-​end boutique salon in NJ, but Frank Paul salon will be my new go to! I have already convinced my mom to try them out! The staff was incredibly friendly and clearly want to make the experience as comfortable as possible!

Was looking to chop my hair and couldn’t find anyone to really commit. Jeffrey helped give me a great style and made me feel confident in pulling off short hair. I’ll definitely go back!

Unilocal reviews of Frank Paul salon do not lie — not only did I get one of the best hair cuts of my life, but EVERYONE was so friendly and wonderful that they have made a devoted customer out of me. ME, who hasn’t gone to the same hair person twice EVER.
The story:
It was time for a change. So, I decided to trade in my mid-​back length hair for a pixie cut. (Obviously. Isn’t that what anyone would do?)
Making an appointment was quick and easy — they were able to squeeze me in the same day. The salon was a little tricky to find, as it is on the second floor and the door gives access to more than one building address, but the staff gives good directions if you ask. When I arrived, everyone I met was helpful and friendly (and I wish I could remember everyone’s names!). Then Suzy transformed my long locks into the cutest Audrey-​esque pixie after a short consultation and some Google image searching. We went over styling options for my new cut and she suggested a product to try. We agreed that a little cherry red lipstick would complete the look!
The real cherry on top: the salon donated my 9+ inch ponytail to the Pantene Beautiful Lengths program (
), which makes wigs for women with cancer.
In summary: a great haircut done by people who care about people. What more can a girl ask for?

Jeff was so great! We were on the same page from the start — I never get haircuts from the same place twice, mainly because I can never find someone who not only does a great job, but makes the experience enjoyable as well. I get a lot of anxiety when people cut my hair. Jeff was reassuring and just the loveliest. Highly recommend! Very reasonable prices as well.
Just FYI — cash or personal check only

I came across Frank Paul through Unilocal.I usually go to a really expensive salon that I trust, but I decided to try something new while I save for my upcoming trip. I’ll admit that I’m a bit vain and want my hair style to turn heads! Lol! ;) Anyway, I requested Suzi, based on all the great reviews she has and decided to take a chance. I am so glad I went! Suzi has such great energy and made the experience a great way to start my Saturday. And most importantly, she gave me fabulous haircut, blowout and style for less than HALF I usually pay at Cutler. The true test was when I walked down the street… Ha! Overnight I turned more heads than I have for weeks— I KNOW it’s my new haircut — more so than my usual salon! I LOVE it! Thanks Suzi!!! :)

Came here because I saw all of these great reviews. I set an appointment with Susy and she was amazing! You must ask for her if you’re coming for a cut. My hair looks amazing and I’ll be telling all my friends to stop by!
My mom also came. Susy colored her hair and cut it as well. She loved it!

I stumbled upon Frank Paul on a Wednesday afternoon by chance when I had time to kill. I checked Unilocal and saw 6 positive reviews and took a shot and walked in to make an appointment. They were able to take when I requested a time. I was introduced to Jeffrey who sat me down and asked me about my hair history and what I wanted. He was able to see that the tips of my hair have been thinned out (because I usually go to Asian salons and they get razor happy even when I asked for my hair to NOT be thinned out… seriously…Asian salons have an obsession when it comes to wanting to thin out your hair… I love my thick hair damnit) and he suggested that he start my layers from higher up so that he can cut and leave my natural thickness at the end. The result was amazing. He has a lot of skills with the brushes because after he was done cutting and drying, my hair had gentle waves that framed my face. I was sad that I didn’t have anywhere to go to in the evening. The total came out to about $ 92 minus tip so it is a bit pricey. But I only get my hair done once every 3 – 4 months so I figured it was worth the splurge. Then I saw they had a Unilocal deal and I’m like damnit. Oh well, next time! I’ll definitely be back because a good hair stylist who knows what he/​she is doing is hard to find! Thanks Jeffrey! :)
