Berlinsf

Berlin is like a hair scientist. He will help you get just the right look and is also fun to hang with in the process! I was referred by a friend who has gone to him for years on end and have not let anyone touch my hair since. I also referred a friend who decided to take the plunge and go with a short style but was felt her current stylist didn’t communicate well with her. She loved Berlin’s work too– he made sure they had solid communication before busting out the shears and transforming her long (but broken) hair into a gorgeous bob. I like to play with my hair color and Berlin always gives me sound advice and a great outcome!

I love Berlin! I made an appointment to get my hair cut and colored after a recommendation that he does amazing work. When I arrived, Berlin had me change into the cape and offered me water, wine, and even some chocolate. He asked how I wanted my hair styled and I only had to share a few details before he knew exactly what to do. I had been dying my hair with awful boxed dyes and needed my hair color to be cleaned up and the split ends cut off. The color turned out better than I hoped for and it still looks great 2 months later. The salon atmosphere was also relaxing since there was only one other chair in the room, plus I got to pick the music. I will definitely be coming back soon! Also, Berlin was very friendly and easy to talk to. Thank you!

Berlin is amazing! I had my first appointment with him last Christmas and I have been going back ever since. He’s done an excellent job every time with my blonde highlights and I feel amazing when I walk out of his salon. The salon is in a very cool building downtown and you get a great view of Union Square when you look out the window. He also always offer you a glass of wine or other beverages upon your arrival, love it! Berlin is a talented stylist who I’ve recommended to many people. I feel lucky to have found him!

I participated in the Living Social deal for 4 blowouts. I bought it months ago and what with being busy I only remembered the other day. Berlin let me extend (a little!) so as to not lose the value. He blow dried my hair in 37 minutes and I was out the door looking great. He gave me some ideas about how to make my hair look healthier and he was not pushy or sales-​y about it. I found him to be easy going, interesting to talk to and awesome with a blow dryer and round brush. Since there were only three other reviews I read them all and was surprised to see the one where he was described as mentally disturbed. I found nothing of the sort. The entire experience he provided from the moment I walked in was professional and elegant. I think name calling like that is immature and well… disturbing and disturbed.
Go here if you want a fabulous blow dry in under 45 minutes!

I also bought the Living Social deal and was completely happy with the deal and with Berlin. He was friendly and professional. I am surprised to read the other review about him being racist. I am Indian and Berlin has been completely respectful. I actually had my 4^th blowout today.
I am also a working mom and I generally find myself strapped for time — i love that Berlin is able to complete my wash and blow in 30 minutes or less. His blow-​outs last me several days and with the use of a dry shampoo i can extend his blow-​outs to 5 days.
I have really enjoyed meeting Berlin.

So I purchased a Living Social deal for this place $ 90 for 4 blowouts. I was excited about my very first blowout. When I walked in to the Salon, it had a great Union Square view and I compliment Berlin on how amazing it was. After that, it was all downhill. I cant really review his talent as I ended up getting reimburesent from Living Social regarding this purchase but I can tell you that this guy was mentally disturbed. In my 9 minutes of stay at his salon, he refused to show me any magazines that were lying around in his salon, refused to let me talk, kept interrupting me and yelled at me. I think he was either racist or regretted doing the Living Social deal so was pretty quick to offer reimbursement himself.
Bottom line — if peace of mind is important, AVOID any interaction with this disturbed person.

I got partial highlights (Californian highlights) with Berlin the other week. It looks totally great no matter where I decide to make hair parting. The strands came out delicate and very precise. I love the all over blond effect on my hair: no yellowish shade at all.
Berlin himself is very nice and friendly. Excellent customer service. And simply mesmerizing view at Union square.
