Sat Feb 06 2010I've been to Roy Teeluck a few times. Ali is my first choice of senior hairstylist. He had never failed me. He took time to know what I wanted and delivered the results that beyond my expectations! I got so many compliments after each visits. The highlights he did for me had so many dimensions it's like work of art. The hair cut is sophisticated yet was easy to maintain. I go there for my B-day and New Year and have my maintenances at some less pricey salon. It's a treat that worth having. I only hope they have more special promotions, like B-day discount. Love it!!!

Tue Feb 02 2010This is the first great cut I've had in years! Tim is a senior stylist and amazing. He took the time to work with me and offered his professional opinion. It was a pleasure to have him cut my hair... I look and feel great and get compliments everyday! I will definitely return for the cut by Tim, color by Russ and excellent customer service Roy Teeluck Salon genuinely provides.

Mon Jan 25 2010Russ-colorist, and Roanni-stylist are a dynamic duo! I couldn't put my finger on what was not working with my recent cut. I also realized that the regrowth from my highlights was no longer working for me either, mousey, gray-yuk. I read the reviews AND DECIDED TO TAKE THE PLUNGE! So glad I did--Now people can't quite put their finger on what's different-the doorman thought I had new glasses and my Dr. thought I had a makeover. Subtle color and great cut=10 years younger! 20% off to new customers made the experience even better. Thanks Russ and Roanni. Woofs to Petey.

Thu Jan 07 2010Just got back from my haircut with laurianne, it was my first time and a friend of mine recommended her to me. So I figured I would try something new! The second she walked over I was instantly happy, her mood was so great it made me smile. She knew exactly what I wanted and recommended some layers for me and showed me where they would end. She blew out my hair in the most amazing way, and I have to add she gave a great head massage when she was washing my hair. I am so so so happy and I highly recommend her!!!

Sun Dec 13 2009Russ worked wonders with my color!! Went in jet black and came out chocolate brown with no damage. Couldn't be happier :) I highly recommend this salon, especially if for color correction.

Fri Dec 11 2009Roy Teeluck is a really beautiful, light-filled salon - I feel so relaxed the moment I step in. Cristale is an amazing hair stylist!! She takes great pride in her work and seems to genuinely care about all her clients...she is attentive, easygoing, and so talented, she discusses options with me and always gives ultimately the best thing! My hair is very long and she seems to be able to uplift it with body luscious curls from her technique...I have had my hair cut and styled by Cristale a few times now and i have also noticed how much attention she pays to details! She is willing to keep my hair healthy and always recommends great products and secrets that are helping to do that job! ha, I am so lucky to have found this place and I truly appreciate Cristale and the look of my hair when I walk out the door! It is a pleasurable way to get my hair done and I always leave the salon feeling amazed with my results. Thank you Cristale!! I look forward to coming back!

Thu Dec 10 2009Weather your looking for a simple blow out or a stylish cut Andre is the best for you. He is an all around guy. From the moment you meet him you'll fall in love with him. He sweeps you away in conversation and before you know it you look like a girl you only thought you could look like in your dreams. He is the BEST at Roy Teeluck Salon. Whether your 16 or 65 he'll make you feel like a new you.

Thu Dec 03 2009I went for a haircut, complete with pictures and consultation because I had a gift certificate. But the stylist refused to listen to me. She asked if I wanted bangs, I said no. She tried to put them over my face and I again said no. She said "trust me" and cut me bangs before I had a chance to respond again. She also cut them too long, so I couldn't see about two days later, they were in my eyes. When she turned me around, I was horrified how short the back was. I asked her to blend it into the front a little more and she told me "but then it won't look like the picture" and actually refused to modify what was on my head because "you wanted the picture, you'll regret me changing it tomorrow". I gave them the gift certificate because I would never go back or recommend it to anyone, and walked out.

Tue Dec 01 2009I had my hair highlighted by Russ over the summer and have never had so many compliments on how natural looking and flattering the color is. Laurianne cut my hair, framing my face, feathering my bangs, and finally getting it to "lay right." They really cared about the finished product too. Russ took extra time to get it just right- over an hour and a half!- and found me after my cut to make sure the finished product was up to par. Laurianne was very sweet and her work was impeccable, you can tell she is an artist. I would go back in a heartbeat if it weren't for the distance.

Mon Nov 30 2009From the minute you walk into the salon you are treated like family, regardless of what service you're there for. The first time I went to the salon, Tim made me feel like I was the only client he had. When I walked out, not only did I just love Tim but I had the best haircut I ever had. Everyone in the salon is professional, friendly and with the kind of eye for detail that I have never experienced. The best part, is the way my hair grew out was equally as great. Try Roy Teeluck once and you will be hooked for life!!!! Everyone is talented.

Sun Nov 29 2009I have been following NYC hairdresser Tim Johnson since I was twenty two. Now based at the Roy Teeluck Salon, Tim is a leading stylist with a unique eye and style. He listens to his clients, and incorporates his vision into their desire My hair looks amazing, always has, and I can't say enough wonderful things about Tim, or about the space. Upon entering you are pampered with espresso and hospitality by the warm, friendly staff. You will leave looking your best, and feeling your best as well; Tim is the whole package, a fantastic person and enormously talented stylist.

Mon Nov 23 2009Tim is amazing. he's been cutting an coloring my hair for about 2 years. Everyone at the salon is friendly - imagine that -- on 57th and Madison. I assumed it would be another snobby midtown salon but it is the opposite. Roy is friendly when he is there and the people are just genuinely nice!
by robertespo
Mon Nov 23 2009Every aspect of the experience is relaxed but it is orchestrated so you never have to wait and can enjoy reading a magazine or chatting with your Stylist during your services. As a repeat client you feel the whole salon is welcoming you and cares that you leave happy and energized. This includes Roy Teeluck himself who is an artist and a genuine person and gentleman.

Mon Nov 23 2009I have gone to several hair salons since moving to NYC several years ago and this is by far the best. I see Sandra for my baliage highlights and she does an amazing job, I get compliments all the time! Overall I always have a great experience and the prices are reasonable. The hours are good and I've never had a problem getting an appointment on short notice. I have recommended this salon to all my friends and they have all had similarly wonderful experiences.

Mon Nov 23 2009I am very often being complimented on my hair colour and cut, and having moved to Manhattan from London 8 months ago I was nervous about finding the right salon to cope with my mane - this was such a great find. Everyone at Roy Teeluk is so friendly, and it is always a treat to spend several hours having colour, or cut (or both) and a glamorous blow dry to finish. Not nearly as pricey as I feared given the location, and it is Abby who does the magic colour for me, and Dora who does the cut.

Wed Nov 18 2009Thank You Tim-it was the best haircut I had in 20 years!

Tue Nov 17 2009I've gone here a few times already and when I compare to other places, I still don't think it's a salon experience that I find to be any better than other places. The coloring job is just OK. I feel like I could do the same thing at home. Haircut came out great but the second time, I had a different stylist and she was pretty awful. I'd say that a good hair job depends on what stylist you get because so far the experience here has varied.

Sun Nov 15 2009I rate myself as a very picky, hard-to-please client. I have been to MANY salons from the West to East coast and this salon surpassed all my expectations and experiences. From the moment I entered, I was greeted with smiles and very friendly staff, which is a HUGE part of the whole salon experience. In the past at other salons, if I didn't feel welcomed, I didn't return. This salon is staffed with the best of the best, and yet maintain their down-to-earth warm vibe. Even Roy himself commented on how great my hair looked and he was so sweet! I had my hair cut by Laurianne, and she is the sweetest and most friendly girl! The moment I first spoke to her, I could tell that I would leave this experience in her hands, I trusted her that much. I never before felt like I didn't need to talk a stylist through what I wanted in my cut- she blew me away with her knowledge...a real professional. After she was done, not only did I get a perfect, beautiful cut, but she styled it with such p... Read more

Tue Nov 10 2009Ok first off can I just mention i am probably the cheapest person you will ever meet. I do not like to overspend my money where it is not needed. I also happen to live in Connecticut. I wanted to treat my mother to an amazing haircut and color. She has never been able to have exactly what she has wanted before so I did some research and decided to take her to the city. I took a chance and although hesitant I really wanted my mother to love her hair. It was hideous before we went to the salon to say the least. After my mothers constant bickering about going all the way to New York we finally arrived to the salon. I was initially impressed and saw that it was very comfortable and high class setting. I was greeted by Michelle and Antoine the sweetest French man ever!!! As I said earlier my mothers hair was hideous and this horrible brownish color. She had always been a blond and ruined her color by some hairstylist in CT. After Michelle broke the news that my mother could not get her blon... Read more

Tue Nov 03 2009Love my hair extensions - i'm an official addict. Wouldn't go anywhere else except Andre at Roy Teeluck! Love Michelle for color too - best blondes!

Mon Nov 02 2009My hair is very difficult to color because it turns red very easily. I was looking for natural looking highlights, as if lightened by the sun, to brighten my face but not noticebly processed. Russ was the greatest! He took his time to listen and talked out the process with me until we came to a full understanding and agreement of what would be done. The results are fabulous!!! I got it done 3 weeks ago and I am still enjoying immensely. The color came out exactly the way I wanted it. And no turning red like in most other salons. Russ is really an expert and a true professional. Really sweet too!! After the color was done, Enzo gave me a gorgeous "dry cut". He blow dries the hair pin straight and then contours the hair to your face and body. It is truly amazing! My hair just lays so beautifully and frames my face and accentuates my whole look. It is truly me!!! Thank you Roy Teeluck!!! I love you! Truly Happy Customer!

Mon Oct 26 2009Arrogant, don't listen to the client. In the middle of applying extensions, I was told to step aside so that another client could be styled, thus my service took an extra hour & half. Apparently my $2000+ wasn't enough to be a valuable client. Awful final hairstyle/extensions too!
by nychick1
Mon Oct 26 2009I have been visiting Andre for extensions for years now. Having lived in Miami and Los Angeles, he is without a doubt the best in the hair extension business. My hair is full, natural, very easy to take care of, and simply beautiful. Andre is very good at keeping up to date on all new extension techniques as well as cutting.

Mon Oct 26 2009I have a situation with my hair...it's not easy to cut and have it look good every day without junk in it. And I won't use the junk. I was a little apprehensive because the address is high-fashion row and my high-fashion days are well behind me. But when I got there, everyone was very nice (without being phony). They are professional without being stuffy. The salon is a comfortable space with every kind of client you can imagine. My stylist was great and spent the time finding out about my lifestyle, considered my face shape, etc. I've been back since that 1st time and will go back again and again.

Mon Oct 26 2009I have been searching for a hair dresser for years that knew how to give my curls a nice cut so that they always have a great shape even without doing much to it like blow drying it or spending hours on styling it in the morning. I found Roy Teeluck Salon through a friend and fell in love with the place right away. The staff is very professional, young and friendly. They offer you a nice glass of wine or cup of coffee upon arrival. Then you meet with a hair stylist who will spend time with you and always have a great idea and are experienced and knowleadgable in giving you suggestions on what your preference is for a cut or style. The washers are great and friendly always and give you a nice massage while washing your hair. Then you're off to the cut - and in just only few snippets of hair you're done with an amazing cut and style. The stylists that I've met so far at the Salon are Dora and Ali and they're both amazing. Very happy with the Salon and would highly recommend it to all.

Sun Oct 25 2009I got the best haircut EVER by Laurianne! She walks on water in my books after she was able to fix the10th crap cut I got in Ottawa a couple weeks prior to seeing her. It's so great that I won't cut my hair again till I return to see her. She has a confident cutting style which I've never seen before and really knew what needed to be done, like a true pro. Manicure: I got a free manicure done by Edith. This lady rocks as well and is great fun. She gave me the best manicure I've ever had (no kidding) and I can't stop staring at my nails!! It makes me look pompous but I cant help it. Keep up the great work Ladies and keep well. Cheers! Char.

Fri Oct 23 2009I have now been to RT Salon 3 times. I definitely remember getting a free manicure the first time as well as some free products (which I liked so much I bought myself when I ran out). Russ does my highlights and he is right-on every time. Yesterday I asked for something a little warmer for autumn and he nailed it! He knows I can only afford to come every 6 months for color and applies it accordingly. I've met Roy, too, as he used me for a free haircut demo 7 months ago. I've vowed never to cut my hair again as it is only getting better as time passes... Thanks Russ and Roy!

Thu Oct 22 2009I have been meaning to write this review forever! When i came to Sandra my hair was a mess. I went to Mizu to go blond and they really messed up my hair. Sandra fixed it in early June and i have been going to her ever since. First, she is amazingly experienced and is careful. As in.. i went from dark dark brown to blond and she manages to keep my hair in great shape. Second, she always makes sure that i look natural. No one can tell that i am not a natural blond.. they are always surprised when i say i have dark brown hair. She is great.. and I really owe her everything when it comes to my fab blond. I love it! and i am def sticking with it. Hair Cut: Laurianne ... she gave me a sexy cut that I can manage. She also styled my hair for a wedding which was simple, classy and made me feel amazing. She def has some skills! I got a cut with some other people from Roy, and they were great.. but she just got it!

Sat Oct 17 2009I had a cut with Ali two days ago and am still deciding how I feel about my hair. The length is great, but I feel like the style is a little staid and just not as edgy as I'd hoped for. It's truly not his fault; at the time I said I loved it (because what am I supposed to say if I'm simply ambivalent about it?). He is wonderful, a great listener, very sweet and very good at what he does. I have no doubt that if I'd said that I wanted something a little funkier, a little funkier is what I would have gotten. Now for logistics: I was never offered something to drink, didn't get my complimentary manicure or 20% off. The woman at the reception desk said I'd get 20% off on my second visit- no big deal, but it wasn't what I'd expected. The salon itself is in a posh neighborhood, but could definitely use a facelift. It has a weird layout with the color stations and washbasins in the back and funnels toward cutting and styling in the front. All in all, I'm not exactly effusive about the experie... Read more

Fri Oct 09 2009I went looking for a permanent place for haircut. First of all, take the citysearch discount and free manicure! Great deal. What can be better have Tim cuts my hair, Edith does my nails over a glass of Chianti with Sigourney Weaver coloring her roots in the backroom. It is a diva treatment. Tim really takes the time to access what you need and gives a cut that you can manage. He even offer complimanary bang trims inbetween haircut. I like him because he does not push other service or product on you. He is just a gentle soul who is passionate about hair. I usually will wait for a week before determining whether I wouldn't go back...because by then I can truly see if the haircut is manageable. It is definitely costly but you do get what you pay for with service that good.

Fri Oct 02 2009For someone who has gone to sooooo many places to get hair extensions, I just want to say that Andre Davis at Roy Teeluck salon has magic hands - he matched my extensions to my hair to the T, styled it and gave me tips on how to care for them. NO ONE can tell I am even wearing extensions and I can wear my hair in a pony tail without the extensions showing. IF you want great extensions, undivided attention and more importantly a stylists that actually listens to you - call Andre Davis!

Thu Oct 01 2009Wow! I got my hair cut by the fabulous Laurianne at Roy Teeluck salon a couple of weeks ago. I have long hair and wanted to keep it that way, so was comforted when I met Laurianne and saw she had beautiful long hair also. I had been frustrated because my long hair had no movement or face-framing style, so I described to Laurianne what I envisioned as my perfect haircut. Well, not only is Laurianne sweet and beautiful, but she proceeded to give me one of the best haircuts I've ever had. It's so good, in fact, that I've used no appliances--no blow dryers, no flattening or curling irons--and no product beyond shampoo and conditioner and, if I do say so myself, I look fantastic. I'm sure I'll be able to get a more polished look if and when I decide to work on my hair at all, but it has not been necessary. My style is more casual, I admit, but the precision and flair of Laurianne's cut has my hair--colicks and all-- falling, framing, and bouncing quite naturally to provide ease ... Read more

Thu Oct 01 2009I found the Roy Teeluck salon through a search and couldn't be happier. I needed a color and cut and was introduced to Abby and Ali. Abby is a true professional who knows what is best for your hair color and type. She has learned from the best and it shows through her work. Before we got started, Abby educated me on what was the best route to go with for color on my hair. She introduced me to a process called Balayage. I had never heard of it before so she explained everything about it. She was right! My hair color has never looked so good. Abby did a fantastic job and I cannot wait to go back and see her again! She's not only a professional colorist, but a sincere, caring person who truly wants you to leave 150% satisfied! Ali was next! I have thin hair that I am determined to grow out. He explained what would be the best cut for my hair type. He cut it in such a way that created both movement and thickness to my hair. I could keep it long thanks to Ali! I can't wait to have him...

Mon Sep 21 2009I am not from NY, but decided to get my haircut while in the city. I wanted someone who could look at my face shape and hair texture and give me the perfect style. Ali at the Roy Teeluck salon in mid-town over delivered on my expectations. Ali was very friendly and open to listening about the challenges I have with my long face and fine, wavy hair. H recommended a shoulder length style with a few layers that was absolutely perfect. He told me what he was doing throughout the process and made me feel comfortable with everything. Not only was the cut perfect, but the styling really made it spectacular! I've had the cut for two days and am starting to get the hang of doing it myself, but Ali is clearly magical with a round brush and blow-dryer! My hair actually listened to him! I can't wait for my next trip to NY to see Ali and all of the other wonderful people at Roy Teeluck. Recommended for ANYONE!

Sun Sep 20 2009The salon is very nice and everyone is super friendly. They don't push products on you like other high end salons--which is very annoying. That said, the only reason I go to this salon is because of Tim. If he cut hair in a dark alleyway I'd go there. I've been going to him for at least 10 years and he has never given me a cut that I have not been totally in love with. He doesn't over cut or undercut -- meaning I don't feel scalped and yet I feel like the cut has put shape back into my hair and it will last a long time. He's super nice and easy to talk to as well. Great, great hair stylist.

Thu Sep 17 2009Tim at Roy Teeluck is exceptional, he is great and very understanding. You can talk to Tim before the haircut to discuss your preferences, Tim will suggest what will work best for you. He is very detail oriented and creative. I used to have a very short hair cut and when decided to grow hair, I kept changing hair dressers until I met Tim. After Tim's work, your hair will stay in style, will be very easy to style and work with on the daily basis. Very -very satisfied with Tim's work !! Thanks Tim !!!

Thu Sep 17 2009I just moved in NY and a friend of mine recommended i should go see Abby for Balayage ,she is very intuitive of what you want ,but also she took her time to explain the process of the result will be better as you do less in highlites Her motto is you need some depth of a natural color to see the highlites .She painted my hair in a direction of how i wear it in daily basis and it looks amazing i love it .Im very happy and i will deffinately go back ,also the glass of wine is a great plus while you getting your hair done :)

Tue Sep 15 2009I had my appointment with Laurianne last week, and I wasn't sure what I wanted or needed. My last haircut at another salon was done badly and my hair has grown out poorly because of it (never going back there!) but I am really thankful to have come here - Laurianne knew what to do to clean it up and give my hair a nice, fresh start. Laurianne takes her time cutting your hair with precision and makes sure she listens to what you want. She knows what is best for your individual hair type and how to help achieve your hairstyle goal. Mine is to grow my hair out longer again, nice and strong which is why she gave me a great basic cut that looks healthy and shiny. I did not want to lose my length so she took off just enough to get rid of the dead ends and damage. As for my bangs, she knew exactly which length and style would be the most flattering for my face shape. I got tons of compliments on my bangs all day the moment I left the salon. My hair is naturally very frizzy and curly, and Lau... Read more

Tue Sep 01 2009Just went for the first time to have my hair cut with Laurianne and am so happy with her work. She immediately came up with a fun, light look that suited my hair and no blow-dry routine. Edith's manicure was an extra treat! Will definitely be going back.

Sun Aug 30 2009staff are friendly. Atmosphere is not intimidating to someone like me who can usually feel a tad out of place in a upscale salon. and Ali was the one I saw and he was a wonderful listener, specially when it came to length. made good suggestions for my face shape, hair texture (wavy and thick). he gave me the best long layered cut I have had. what has really impressed me is how well it grows out between cuts. also i just wash, air dry, put my hair up in a bun which I let loose after a few hours and get lovely waves. As mentioned in this economy its getting harder to justify an expensive cut no matter how great it is so keeping space between cuts is important. I have to say though the price is reasonable when you take into account the great cut, service and the fact that we are talking about midtown manhattan.

Tue Aug 25 2009Went for highlights with Sandra, she is very nice and easy going and did a great job - exactly what I wanted. Enzo finished me off with an amazing blowout - I also have to add that they are very big on making sure their costumers are happy Best customer service I have ever experienced. I did not find prices to be too bad either. I have already recommended friends to this salon and will definitely be back for my haircut in a month.
by karennyc1
Tue Aug 25 2009I had a WONDERFUL first experience at this salon. Sandra did a great job on the color and took extra time at the end because even though I thought it looked fine she wasn't quite satisfied - and she was right, she added a little more color that really put that extra spark in it! And Ali gave me a great haircut despite the challenge of working with a really short, really bad previous cut I had gotten someplace else. It is so refreshing to look in the mirror now and smile instead of cringe! All of the staff was very friendly and welcoming as well.

Sat Aug 22 2009I am so glad to have met Laurianne from Roy Teeluck Salon. She knows exactly how to treat my hair by giving it the right volume, cut and a unique sexy style, she has great passion in what she does and is my number one hip stylist in Manhattan!
