As a longtime Brazilian blowout customer, I’ve tried the treatment at many different salons over the years. Gabriel Shimunov Salon is by far my favorite. I’ve been to this particular salon more than 10 times and the results are always perfect- no damage and no frizz for months. I’m a client because of the quality of their Brazilian blowouts, but it’s a nice perk that their price is so reasonable. — Kristen Krusen 1/19/2024

This was my first time at this salon and I'm glad I went there! I saw a lot positive reviews about Rakan and knew he would be the person for my balayage and I was right! It came out looking natural and beautiful! So many compliments!! If you are looking for the right hair stylist, look for Rakanl!! He's the best in the field! — —-Brooke Henvery 1/11/2024

I have curly hair with volume, type 2C. Sierra, the hairdresser did an amazing job layering and shaping it as I liked it without losing too much lenght. I strongly recommend this place, everyone is super nice. — Carolina Rengifo 1/8/2024

Did a partial highlights and cut with sierra, she was a delight! She took the time to meet with me, diligently applying my color and toner to make sure it met my expectations. We spent the whole afternoon together and I do appreciate her attention to detail and to get my cut and layers just as I wanted them. —-Claire Malloy 1/5/2024

Sierra was wonderful! I walked in with a bad cut (done by myself) & she fixed it without judgement. Very patient. Very good. The front bangs & back V, with slight feathering to lighten the weight was perfect. Fantastic blowout after the cut. Staff was also very helpful / friendly. Brightly lit salon. Nice location off of 5th Avenue. ——Lisa Chau 1/3/2024

This place is amazing! I was very hesitant trying a new hair place but I am so happy with my hair! I got a blonde balayage by the beautiful Angelica and it’s the best balayage I have ever had done and she nailed what I asked for. I highly recommend coming here especially for balayage. I also had a complimentary manicure that was lovely. This place is awesome and affordable, you should definitely book your next hair appointment here! — Allie Cramton 3/25/2023

Had a great Brazilian treatment! Very informative stylists who walked me through the process before starting. I also got my nails done by Ekta and she did an amazing job. — Ayah Al-Sharari 3/24/2023

Just got a haircut, pedicure and manicure! The staff was incredibly friendly and professional and I’m obsessed with my haircut! 12/10 experience, I’ll definitely be returning! — Shannon Tierney 3/14/2023

Honestly one of the best hairstylist I ever came across. Polo is extremely talented, he is very gentle with the hair and he takes his time to perfect it. I got a blowout and most of the time the hairstylist will pull on my hair and rush, but not polo. He treats the hair gently and I was extremely satisfied with the results i highly recommend it to everyone. Also the other man who was working there i didn’t catch his name but he was extremely helpful and did a great job with washing my hair. Overall an amazing experience I will definitely be coming back! — Shahad3/24/2023

I had a great experience and was thrilled with the results. Tanya did a wonderful job and I will definitely be back in the future! — Kate Brinson 2/7/2022

I was brunette and decided to go blonde. I went through this transformation with Tatiana and she was so incredible... Patient, skilled and so talented. I have never seen that before. The process took eight hours - almost until midnight! It's a huge change and I am definitely in love with it. And my hair is really healthy. The whole team was welcomed and nice. I could never thank Tatiana enough. I am looking forward to my next meeting in this world-class salon. Thank you so much. — Marina V. 12/9/2021

Amazing wash, blow dry and styling with Sabrina. I highly recommend her as a stylist. She also specializes in cuts. They seem to lean towards pretty, chic hair (I call it The Classic Fekkai because everyone knows what that style is), and my blow out has lasted (4) days to give you an idea of how thorough the wash is and how well they do the styling. i did just a simple round brush wave (straight with some bend at the end, some volume on top) and just needed some oil on it afterwards to hold it. I recommend this salon and will be going back for more blow drys and trying out their other services over time.

I’ve gone to this salon twice now-for blonde highlights and a haircut and I’ve loved it each time! Appointments are so easy to email and make and the staff is super accommodating. The stylists listen to exactly what you want and give their expert opinion which I appreciate. I’ve seen 3 different stylists, all were beautiful results. I’ve been getting highlights done for years, and they’ve done some of my favorite ones I’ve had! I’ll definitely be returning for a third time :)

— Mary 10/6/2020
I was blown away with the results of my haircut. The salon artists were so patient through the entire process (which stands out to me because I have very thick, curly hair). The lady understood exactly the color and the cut that I wanted, and was very meticulous with making sure I got the result that I wanted. The staff is friendly but more on the silent side. I will definitely be coming here again, especially for as long as their promotion is going on.

First salon experience post Covid-19 lock-down. They are super thoughtful about hygiene in a way that doesn’t feel uncomfortable for the client so the service itself was a super positive experience. For the service itself (Brazilian blowout and cut), my hair feels great and looks even better. They are also (for now) offering super competitive pricing, highly recommend!

I’ve visited Gabriel Shimunov salon a couple of times now for a Brazilian blowout and I’m always happy with the results. I recall my first visit when Oliver patiently listened to my concerns and answered all of my questions about the treatment and what would be best for me. Plus, they always take me promptly, everyone is extremely friendly, and the added Covid discount was a pleasant surprise!

I received a free haircut here with their healthcare worker promo. They take your temperature as soon as you walk in and they have hand sanitizer and masks available. I was there when staff arrived for their shift and saw how they take their temperature and sanitize their hands before starting their shift. The staff was very friendly and polite. I was seated more than six feet away from other clients, and both the staff and clients kept their masks on the entire time I was there, which I really appreciate. My stylist was very knowledgeable and helped me figure out what was best for my hair. Everybody was so nice and the salon was kept very clean. I would definitely return.
— Antoinette Ortiz 7/1/2020
It was my first time getting my hair cut here and I’m very happy with my hair Nikki cut. I was worried if any non-Asian hairdressers can manage to cut my hair but she perfectly handled my hair. I’ll come back to her and highly recommend you to get your new styles at this hair salon!
— Emily Rodriguez 6/26/2020
Loved this! Highly recommend and they’re doing 60% though Dec. so very reasonably priced. It was 675 originally for all of the services and the discount knocked it down to 282 with tax! For a full head of highlights, cut, toning, blowdry, and curls that’s extremely good. Also, no one been able to take the brassiness out of my hair until now. Definitely coming back. They’re also doing really well taking care of their stylists and customers with hand sanitizer, gloves, masks, and taking your temp from a distance when you walk in. Safe, nice staff, and excellent quality
— Karsen Bell 6/26/2020

Nicky was wonderful! She’s so sweet and excellent with color, will definitely be back again to the salon to see her!
— Alyssa Karow 6/25/2020
Great experience at this salon. I went in for a haircut and the place was clean and airy. The owner and stylist were very pleasant and professional. I was offered gloves and mask upon arrival. I ended up getting a free haircut as their appreciation for COVID first responders. After a few months of wearing a mask, covering my hair with a cap, and witnessing so much death and suffering, I felt so refreshed walking out of there with nice hair. Thank you Gabriel Shimunov for your kind gesture!

Got a great Keratin treatment from Oliver. He’s a real pro & very kind. My hair looks silky now even on hot, humid days. Had a Brazilian last time - lasted for months. My hair is very thick & curly/frizzy, so not easy to deal with.
Nice staff too. I highly recommend them.

Nikki is my new person. Also feels like a friend after spending a while dying my hair from brown to a beautiful blonde! It took more time than I expected, but only bc/ my bangs were being finicky. I would 100% go back, I trust the employees there to do excellent work! I didn’t get styled by Radha but her clients seemed to love her too!! What a welcoming place.
— Brooklyn Michalowicz 2/27/19
Nikki gets it done. Quick. Efficient. Precise. No fluff. Definitely ask for her if you need anything color related. You’ll get what you want, on the spot. Very impressed.
— Laura Leigh 2/22/19

I 100% recommend this salon. Nikki did the most amazing job with my highlights. Everyone was asking me where I had got my hair done for weeks after. She did such a great job that when my roots started to grow out eventually, you could barely notice. Everyone was so friendly and genuinely cared that their job was done right, not a very common trait in a lot of New York salons.

After going to various people in the last 10 years for blonde highlights, I can say that the color I have received from the Gabriel Shimunov salon was one of the very best I have ever gotten. If you want a very thorough, amazing job request Savannah. I am so pleased with the golden highlights she gave me. Everyone was so friendly and the salon is clean, chic and in a great location! Couldn’t recommend Savannah or this place enough!!

I came in after having had the week from hell. Even though it was a Tuesday, a new week, I still couldn’t get over the vibe of how badly I felt. I wanted to cut my hair, to bring back some life to my face. I was exhausted, heartbroken, and just generally depleted. When I walked in, Gabriel greeted me, and immediately I felt like I was going to have an exceptional experience. When I sat in his chair and explained to him what I wanted, I felt that he heard me and truly understood what I needed. It was a relief to not have to go into explaining what I wanted and why. Gabriel just knew. The way Gabriel’s hands moved, how he positioned my head, how he knew exactly the right way to comb my hair to make it fall into place — it was as though he was listening to my hair, and doing exactly what it needed. I love my haircut, I love how fresh and rejuvenated my face looks now, and I especially love how professional, capable, and kind Gabriel was. Truly one of the best salon experiences I’ve ever had in my whole life! :-) :-) :-)
— Ania Szopa 1/23/18

I’m an early middle-aged brunette with streaks of grey that get a lot of compliments, but they were too uneven. I met a lovely stylist from the beautiful Amalfi coast who really knew what he was doing. He took time and care to understand what I wanted, and although it felt like a dare, I was very happy with the results I still look my age, just not so stressed.. Grazie, Francesco!

My hair stylist was both attentive and detail oriented when it came to my hair coloring. The color came out just as I asked, without too much red tones. Not only was the color perfect, but so was the grade of my hair after the color- not a split in sight. I loved this experience!
— Sara Gharnit 11/27/17
I can’t say enough about how pleased I was with Gabriel Shimunov Salon! I was blessed to have Ashley cut, color and style my sad hair, and she seriously performed a miracle! Not only did I look great when I left, it’s been a dream every day since! My daughter was paired up with Sabina, and she felt the same way about her experience. Beautiful salon, great ambience, totally pampered. AMAZING!

I had an excellent experience at Gabriel Shimunov. I purchased the Gilt voucher for keratin straightening and the salon had prompt availability and worked to accommodate my work schedule.

Upon arrival, the salon is small and bright, not hectic or overly loud. I was greeted by my stylist, Jessica, who explained to me the various straightening lines they had available and helped me to decide what was best for my hair. Jessica was well-informed, thoughtful and very personable. Once we decided on the product, she washed me and quickly got to work. With the assistance of another stylist, Geraldine, they had me in and out in an hour and a half. This is nearly unheard of for a straightening treatment, and at no point did I feel rushed or as though they weren’t taking enough care. Additionally, due to the specialized ventilation system, there were virtually no fumes, which is an enormous plus when it comes to how noxious some of these treatments can be when heated.

Garbiel himself rang me up and was very gracious. I walked out with smoother, silkier hair and am very pleased with the results. Overall, it was a terrific experience and I highly recommend it.

— Jane Morris 8/25/16
My first visit to Gabriel Shimunov Salon was fantastic. All the hairdressers were kind and outgoing, clearly wishing for the best experience possible. The space is clean and modern, overlooking a nice part of the city, and with an air circulator machine which prevents chemical fumes from accumulating inside. The professional who took care of my hair recommended a different treatment for me than the one I originally wanted, which I was a little suspicious about, but she patiently listened to my concerns and was ultimately very accommodating of my request. In the end, my hair looked absolutely gorgeous — and although I have yet to witness the full effects of the treatment, I was very pleased with the Salon experience. All in all, I am very happy to have discovered this Salon and look forward to returning soon!

I do my own hair almost exclusively. I learned this the hard way because any time I have trusted a hair salon in Manhattan, it has been a horrible experience.

Everything from bad cuts, bad blow outs or they just don’t listen to me (I’m a soft spoken girl) so I stay away from non-ethnic salons. But I really wanted to try a Brazilian Blowout and I couldn’t do it on myself so I took a chance here after reading the reviews.

I love Gabriel Shimunov. Allow me to emphasize. LOVE. My stylist Bahia was amazing! She listened, she made sure I was comfortable with the process and she kept me laughing. Gabriel himself was an absolute dear!

I kid you not, I have never walked out of a Manhattan hair salon with perfectly smooth hair. I have Dominican waves with unruly baby hairs and Bahia slayed them like I never have! I wanted to wait until after my first wash to confirm but the treatment was a success! My hair no longer starts off as year 7 Hermione Granger and slowly puffs up to year one as I walk to the office.

They were not pushy with the products but I already knew I wanted to get them and I made this known right away. I love this place and I cannot wait for my touch up :)

I was very happy with the service I received. Gabriel greeted me at the door and showed me to my seat. Ashley, my colorist, came over and discussed my needs and also provided some good insight on what could be done today and for consideration in the future. My color came out exactly as I had requested and all my gray hairs were covered. The blow out from Gabriel was fantastic with a lot of volume which should carry over in the next day or two. Overall, I was VERY happy and will be a returning customer!
Thank you!
— Sharon Parobeck 4/20/16
I was pleasantly surprised by the service I received. I called for a Keratin appointment and was able to get in the same day. The Greenwich salon was easy to find and had available parking. I have had Keratin treatments done many times before and usually cry through them because of the chemical smell, but this salon had a ventilation system that I have never seen used before. There was no smell or crying this time! Will definitely go back again for another Keratin. The salon was clean, small and quiet. Everyone there was fantastic!

All the staff members make you feel comfortable as soon as you walk in the door. They are energetic and make you feel so good. I have very curly, frizzy and long hair. I had a brazilian blowout and bayalage; it turned out better than I had imagined. I am usually scared when I go to a hair salon that I do not know nothing about, but I definitely found my new hair salon. I love the fact that everyone works together willingly. Thank you everyone at Gabriel Shimunov, you will definitely be seeing me again when it is time for me to touch up!!!!

Great salon and great experience from start to finish! I have loved my cut every time. Very lucky to have Gabriel here in CT!
— Allison Hayes 10/12/15
Gabriel created a major change in my look. I had gone far too long without a haircut, and I had a mess of too-long, frizzy hair. He cut several inches and shaped it into a much sleeker, updated style. He was meticulous in doing the cut, making adjustments until it was to his standards. His colorist also did a great job getting the gray out of my hair and making it a rich dark brown close to my natural color, but better. The best part is that it has been remarkably easy to blow dry and style, and it holds it shape even the next day. I will definitely return!
— Kimberly Kaufman 10/12/15
This salon was small and very intimate. It created a personal experience which you don’t usually find in NYC. Gabriel was very flexible when I had to reschedule my appointment. The staff was friendly and I received a great haircut and blowout. The atmosphere and style was great. The woman who washed my hair was a little rough and aggressive so I didn’t enjoy the wash and massage too much. Everything else was great and I liked that Gabriel took before and after photos.

I’ve done about 3 Brazilian Blowouts with Gabriel and plan to continue going to him and his awesome assistant. It has always been a pleasant experience and I’ve been very pleased with the results every time. I have extremely large and difficult hair; nevertheless they’ve taken their time to ensure a thorough process which I truly appreciate. I always receive a ton of complements from friends and family after getting my hair done with them and Gabriel’s assistant gives me great advice on how to maintain and better manage my hair after every appointment.

Overall, I highly recommend this salon and have not found another place like this in NYC.

I love this place! I did my Brazilian blowout in few other places before but non make it fun and easy as Gabriel Shimunov Hair Salon! My hair looks amazing after this treatment. Gabriel and his assistant are very professional and I can tell they know what they’re doing. I recommended to my friends and highly recommend it to you!

The salon was very conveniently located (with parking) and they were extremely welcoming and friendly. Bahia did my color and since it was my first time there, she spent time discussing options for me and making sure I was happy. She did a great job; my color looks wonderful so I would definitely go back
— Francine Aber 8/9/15
Gabriel Shimunov is a great salon - the staff is super cool and super friendly. They play a fantastic mix of fun music - not lame lounge music,
So they recommend me some soft layers, very playful but elegant and in my face also some long soft layers to cover my round face shape.
And the color was also perfect. I didn’t want warm color, but as natural as possible. Best hair salon experience I’ve ever had!!!!

The vibe of the salon is amazing! Decor is fabulous, music is fabulous, the salon assistant is fabulous and Gabriel is PHENOMENAL!

I rarely get haircuts for two reasons; first, I am very low-maintenance and like bed-head, and second, I always end up paying exorbitant prices for incredibly mediocre haircuts, which is frustrating.
Salon Gabriel makes me want to get a haircut every single day. The atmosphere is totally great- no ultra modern interior, very laid back.
I have very long wavy/curly hair, and most stylists cut it as though it were straight- even stylists who claim to have special training for cutting curly hair. Gaberiel used a specific technique (the name escapes me) that is appropriate for wavy hair as well as straight, so I can let it air-dry or flat iron it. He used Kerastase products, which is what I use at home (a definite plus), and took his time. I wanted layers cut in while keeping the length. When he finished, my hair was soooo straight and incredibly shiny. The layers looked fabulous, and moved when I walked. After washing and styling curly, it looks equally incredible.

As I left the salon and walked back to the Whole Foods numerous vagrants made comments and whistled at me, and I’m pretty sure it was the hair. If that’s not a good recommendation, I don’t know what is.

I have very curly hair, and it has always been surprising how few stylists can actually give a good curly haircut Gabriel was fabulous. He listened to exactly what I was looking for and really took his time making sure everything was perfect. The cut looks great both curly and straightened. It’s been forever since I’ve had a cut that I could style so effortlessly and would look good all day long. Plus the prices are very reasonable!! Would definitely suggest curly headed girls try Gabrie
— Nina Geri 9/22/13
Since my stylist of 20 years retired in 2005, I’ve been hopping around in search for the best stylists for my straight hair. After seeing many different stylists as long as two years straight and not really loving it that much, my search continued. More than a year and half ago I decided to do research on great hair cutters. I came across Gabriel’s reviews. They were all excellent. I told many ladies at work about his talents but yet I was afraid to go to him thinking I may be the only one who doesn’t like the cut. because I’m very particular. Since I need a haircut every 8 weeks to maintain my style, I decided to try two new salons first & saw two different stylists over the past 1 1/2 years. I still wasn’t satisfied. I actually made two appointments with Gabriel and cancelled. Finally, I called him again and said I’m ready for haircut with you. He is talented, an artist who transformed my boring bob into an attractive layer cut. My husband said, “did you get a haircut? It’s nice”. My husband over the years says has only said, “did you get a haircut?” Never adding, “it’s nice”. I always had to ask him if he liked it. He never smiled like he did with this cut. People at work complimented the cut. They were like, “wow”. I feel young and hip with this cut. I have thick, medium density straight hair and Gabriel new how to give my hair volume. Gabriel gives individualized attention. Worth the money. The salon is clean, bright, playing soothing music and there’s a TV screen showing a fashion show while you wait. I will be back!
— Rita L 9/17/13
I originally went to Gabriel because of a very poor haircut from another salon. It was so poorly done, I didn’t think anyone could fix the cut without cutting my hair very short. He proved my fear unfounded. I was pleasantly surprised to find he books each client privately! You are not interrupted by others and have his total attention for the entire hour. He has a warm and patient personality and actually listens to your requests. My haircut was fantastic and is growing out beautifully. Gabriel is a true artist in every sense of the word. He “sculpts” your hair to fit your features. I feel his prices are very reasonable for the excellent service one receives. I highly recommend Gabriel Shimunov Hair Salon to anyone looking for technical expertise, and a calm and relaxing experience.

Gabriel is excellent! Great blowdrys! Definitely recommend people go!
— Eugenia Cooney 3/30/13
I had a photo shoot 2 weeks ago. I have to thank Gabriel for styling my hair. Both the make-up artist and the clothes stylist complimented my hair-do. They asked me where I had my hair done. I also got compliments from my friends.
Hence, I have to say, you are the best, Gabriel.

I have tried so many salons over the years, but have not been happy with the results. It’s really the first time that I am very happy with the outcome.

Gabriel is a real pro. He’s also very kind and nice.
— Melena D. 2/12/13
I have been getting my haircut with Gabriel for about a year and every time its has been outstanding. The level of service is excellent. Gabriel is always listening for my wishes and is able to translate them into a beautiful haircuts. I am recommending him to all my friends. His service is simply perfec

After a disastrous haircut at Bumble & Bumble, I was looking for someone who could not only fix it but also give me a great haircut. I am extremely particular about my haircuts and generally appreciate hair stylists who understand their client’s needs and also have creative insights. Gabriel is totally fabulous! He understood what I wanted and gave me something even better. I was very impressed with his work and will definitely be going back to him! He is not only talented but also very affordable! Well done, Gabriel!!!
— 9/17/12
Gabriel S. has been cutting and styling my hair for years. I moved out of the country and tried other stylists. I had a mess on my hands.I long ago decided that if I was going to be happy I had to make the trip to New York and go only to Gabriel. He rocks! My hair is very curly and frizzy too. He gives me a cut that tames all of that and I always feel beautiful. I can let it air dry or flat iron it and it is always great.
Thank you Gabriel I’ll be back!

Never felt so Happy. After a Brazilian Blowout, Gabriel saved me from a very dry, frizzy extremely tight curls, into soft, shiny smooth hair that I always want. I can actually feel my hair again. I love his haircut and the way he styled my hair.. PERFECT !!! I got compliments from everyone and I definitely recommend him to anyone who wants to get their hair done with a perfect service. He’s very friendly and welcoming, and I had a great time talking with him. He listened to what I want and explained all the procedures beforehand. GREAT JOB !!! I finally found the right hair dresser in NYC.
— 5/21/11
Gabriel was AMAZING!!! Very easy to get a last minute appointment and he is a miracle worker! He fixed a butchered haircut I had done and is a great stylist. I will be going to him for all of my future haircuts!
— 6/7/2011
Gabriel was great!!! I got the Brazilian Blowout done by him and he did such a great job!! I couldn’t be happier with my hair. I am definitely going back to him when I need some touching up! He was so personable and it was a pleasure from start to end.

WOW, Pleasantly Surprised

I recently moved to North Jersey and was in need of a good haircut. I have to preface this by saying that I am VERY selective when it comes to who I trust with my hair. I was pleasantly surprised with Gabriel. He gave me such an amazing haircut. I have long straight hair and I wanted long layers, sounds simple. However, anyone who appreciates a good hair cut understands the difficulty in getting the layers right. He did such a great job and 3 weeks later I am still loving my haircut. I have been all over the place looking for a good hair stylist. I have lived in NYC, LA, Florida, Philly, and although I have a gotten a good cut here and there, he really is the best. It’s so rare to stumble upon someone who listens and actually does what you want. I couldn’t be happier and I can without hesitation recommend him.

On a side note, I paid $125 ( not cheap but in the range of most good stylists). I tried to tip him and he wouldn’t accept it. I don’t usually tip the owner but I was so pleased with the cut and my blowout.
— 12/5/2010
On a friend’s recommendation I reserved a haircut with Gabriel, the owner. I have very straight fine hair, which unlike curly hair leaves no room for error, so I tend to be a bit nervous about new stylists cutting my hair. I shouldn’t have worried a bit because Gabriel was just great. I told him what I wanted and what has gone wrong in the past with other haircuts but he quickly put me at ease. He took off as much as I told him to, not like some places where they try and convince you to do something different or they lop off too much. I was going to a party that night so Gabriel spent the time to really glam me up. My friends totally noticed the new cut and thanks to Gabriel.

Online booking is very convenient.

For many years, I have been trying to find a good hairdresser. I found one. It is Gabriel S. He is the best hairdresser you will ever meet He cut my hair to perfection. I was very pleased. His is my number one hairdresser. And I tried all the big names. Nobody equals Gabriel’s expertise.
— 7/5/2010
Gabriel is very attentive. He listens and does what you ask him to do! If you want a certain length or style he DELIVERS! I’ll def. be going back to him.
— 7/19/2010
GABRIEL did an amazing job on my cut and blow-dry! He didn’t get all “scissor happy” with my hair, instead he gave me a great cut and left the length just the way I like it. He is also really sweet and fun to hang out with... makes it a very pleasant experience.
