No, I would not go back!

i had the worst experience at this salon. i paid $450 to get my haircut from Mr. Barrett himself and it was abysmal. he wouldn't listen to what i wanted he just started cutting. my cut is way too short and my girlfriend is appalled. not to mention he was flirting with me the entire time.

Lost Art of Customer Service

No, I would not go back!

I recently visited NYC for a family wedding and had arranged for a hair appointment in excess of months. While John did meet the standards of the profession the Staff made the whole experience take an immediate nose dive. What best characterizes John Barretts staff, from managers, to sylists to those that apparently really served no purpose but float around the salon.........are a mass of self absorbed "want to bes" who may think that they have ARRIVED only to realize as the time clock ticks they truly have missed the boat a very long time ago. What does customer service REALLY mean to those in the "service industry?" Certainly not enough self help books on this topic but more than enough beauty school drop outs!!!

WHAT A BUNCH OF SNOOTY ASSED BROADS

No, I would not go back!

John seems to remember his days on the farm BUT the rest of his staff are stepford clones who though trying to make the customer feel special only succeed in making them feel uncomfortable with their overly pretentious ostentatious pompious attitudes. That goes double for the "male" prima donnas floating around like butterflies. PUHLEEZE!!

Theo at John Barrett Salon is the best

Yes, I would go back!

Theo is a fantastic stylist. I have gone to him for about a year now and have never been disappointed in his cuts. He is consistently wonderful. I was due for highlights and wanted a cut at the same time, but Theo was out of town. So, I just got my highlights done and waited until next time for the cut. I went a full 3 months between cuts and my hair still looked great! A sign of a truly talented stylist is a cut that grows out so well.
