Pilatos Hair Salon & Boutique

First time I ever went I had dealt with a couple of bad «hairstylists» my hair was damaged and I never got what I asked for. One day I decided to give this place a chance and I made an appointment with «Alberto» gosh it’s been about a year now and every time I need something done I go to him, he always knows exactly what I want. I have not only done color, highlights or haircuts, I also got my makeup done by him for an event I had and I absolutely love everything he does. Since then I have recommended him to a lot of my friends and they have all been amazed and are regular customers now. I would recommend him for any type of work you’d like to get done.
Ps. My boyfriend and his brother get haircuts done here as well, honestly he is great with both men and women.

is a great place, the best hair cut in new York.
I highly recommended.
Jorge is my hairstyle, I never had any problem with my hair.

The first time I tried this place I asked for a cut and the guy didn’t do a very good job at all and felt like he didn’t cut anything off. I told him how much I wanted off and everything and he ignored me. I also was very specific being that I am a cosmetologist myself!
Today I decided to try again. And had Alex as my stylist, he fixed my hair and brought it back to life and was great company! I will definitely keep going to see him!

I been coming to Jorge since I was a child. Recently I decided to experiment at a different hair salon and came out with basically orange FRIED hair. I booked an appointment with him the following week and he created magic. My hair went from a brassy orange tone to an amazing ash color. He also gave me this awesome haircut eliminating all of the damage I had and giving me a healthier look. I love the service there. Everyone is extremely friendly. I recommend this salon to everyone. Definitely come by, you’ll love the stylists and the service.

I’ve been coming to Pilatos Hair Salon since 2012. I found out about this salon through a friend, and decided to look at some reviews online. I was surprised by all the great reviews the salon had but specifically Jorge. His name stuck out everywhere and I quickly learned why. My first visit to Jorge I went in for a wash cut and blow. My hair was very long and I needed a change. Jorge did the most amazing hair cut along with a fabulous blow dry which had me leaving the salon feeling like a star. Throughout the next year I don’t even know why I didn’t go back but anyway I got a little color crazy and started doing all these crazy dye color jobs to my hair which eventually left my hair looking awful. Unhealthy, with split ends, gross, dry just flat out awful nothing like what my hair once was. I visited a salon closer to home in hopes that I would just cut off all the damage (which was a lot) and start over. Oh my God what was that for? Worst decision ever! I cut my hair into a bob like cut up to my shoulders from my previously almost waist length hair. At first it was fine but I eventually found myself missing my long hair. As time would pass my hair would just not grow. I know hair takes time to grow but this was just ridiculous, it was almost as if my hair was stuck and wouldn’t grow at all. It was terrible. I didn’t know what to do and then I remembered Jorge. I decided it was time to pay him a visit. While my hair was short Jorge made it work and cut my hair beautifully with some layers that if anything made my hair look longer. Shortly after I noticed my hair had started to grow back and since then have scheduled hair cuts every 6 months. My hair is now long healthy and beautiful. Jorge has magic hands I swear. The last time I went to see him he was surprised himself at how long my hair had grown. Jorge is a hair God and I am so thankful to him and all the wonderful staff. I would recommend this extremely talented stylist to anyone. The day I decide to start experimenting with colors again I will go to him as well because I have seen some of his clients leaving his chair looking absolutely amazing. Jorge you are the best. So glad I found you.
The original 80 – 14 Location has closed however they moved right across the street to 80 – 13 and I’m so happy they are not far, though if they moved I swear I’d follow them wherever they go even if they moved across the country!
Keep up the AMAZING work Pilatos and Jorge you guys are the best!

I’ve been coming to Pilatos for over 6 years. This is the only hair salon I come to since I stepped in 6 yrs ago & met Jorge. The owner of this salon. He is extremely professional and an expert at what he does. Every Pennie spent here is worth it. Over these years my hair has looked better and more beautiful. The products he uses are phenomenal and to the benefit of your hair. The rest of the staff are phenomenal, professional, experts at what they do; but most importantly you feel secure leaving them to handle your hair and extremely friendly. Over the years I’ve developed even a closer relationship with Jorge & the rest of the staff. Because they make you feel important & treat you as such. I wouldn’t trade Jorge (the one who has handled my hair over all these years) for any other hair stylist. He is my one & only one. The best! And I do have A LOT OF HAIR! So it’s not easy to deal with but he has the patience. :)

I used to be a fan of Jaime and Pilatos. He does a decent job with color and make up, but the wait time is horrid and inconsiderate. They schedule too many people at once, so you realistically could spend 3 hours waiting to get your hair washed. A trim and highlights will be the entire day, 6−8hours. The customer service is non-​existent. They cater only to the people they like. Hey, I was a regular customer and cut and color was about $ 300 a pop, to me, that is a lot of money.
So I stopped going to Jaime and switched over to Alex. He is the BEST. The star is only for him. He always takes me on time and chats and offers me coffee. He also does Amazing make up and has such a Fun personality. If the review was just for Alex, I would give him 5 stars!
If he would move to another salon, I would follow him there just to avoid the Pilatos front desk girl and the owners… oh well…

Great place, very friendly people. The best, and I mean THE BEST haircut in New York. Highly recommended! I am there every month :)

Horrible place My girlfriend went to die her hair, this guy destroyed her hair leaving it with three different colors, now hair is green. He tried a second time and left it even worst. Finally he wanted to do it a third time but we decided to ask for her money back, at first he didn’t want to give her the refund, but once she mentioned him a law sue against the establishment his attitude changed. When she we went for her money back he didn’t have the curtesy of an apology for his lack hair style knowledge and destroying her hair. This guy didn’t even look at her face and sent someone else to attend her. This shows lack of RESPECT and CUSTOMER SERVICE. Think twice before you go in there it may look fancy from the outside but this guys seem not to have any experience with hair styling.

I have been a customer since 2011 and come at least 4 times a year. Jorge is an amazing and talented hair stylist. His ideas are inspired by his experience and latest trends.
They take their time and don’t rush to get you out or complete the job. I usually get highlights, cut and blow dry. I need to dedicate an afternoon but It’s so worth it every time. I leave the salon feeling like a millions bucks and more confident.
I always receive very nice compliments about my hair.
The salon uses top of the line products, the place is clean and the customer services is great. I am truly faithful to this place and their staff.

This place use to provide a better service than my recent experience 2 weeks ago. My daughter, and I don’t trim out hair on a monthly basis, more like every 3 months. When we do, this WAS the only place to go to. It’s actually not even in my area, but for something as simple as a cut n style, I recall having a great experience with Jorge. During my latest visit, my hair was highly mistreated unnecessarily; my daughter, and I were booked with 2 brand new people that I had never seen there. Since I hold their experience in high regard, and expected ALL their «stylist» to have a fundamental knowledge for their craft. I must say, although I explained, and continued to explain (I showed him a picture of the style, he continued to ask/​confirm my requests as if he had no understanding), these 2 particular rookies OVER-​WORKED my daughter, and I’s fine, soft, manageable hair. I was there for 2 hrs for a trim & curl, I walked out with half a hairspray can in my hair & my hair smelling like burnt toast, and looking like a shell sitting on my head. When I washed my hair as soon as I got home, I noticed my layers looked horrible and choppy with absolutely NO SHAPE, and burned, $ 70 charge. My daughters simple bob, took just as long as I did, she has straight short hair, was just going for a trim, her hair was straitened instead of blow-​dried to create a bouncy look, as a bob should resemble; $ 40. I have never written a bad review for a place, but this was the worst experience ever. Unfortunately, for the past 3 yrs, this was hair place, I now have to find a new hairstyling home for both my daughter, and I. This place is ultimately just overpriced, and from my experience, are hiring whoever sets foot in their salon, whether they know what they are doing, or not.

The service was pretty phenomenal it terms of being polite and friendly. However, I came in asking for lighter, almost blonde tips and my end result was not what I wanted. Jorge insisted I get oumbre because it would look better. Jose also said so, so I let it happen. They dyed my roots too and had to redeye them because they ended up being too light and pretty much the same as the color I had originally. In the end, my hair did turn out lighter but with an orange tint that I had tried to avoid. The reason I think they try to talk you in oumbre btw is bc it’s like $ 90. Overall I paid over $ 300 for a root color I never wanted and for an oumbre that came out orange instead of blonde. –_–

I was recommended to Jorge by a friend and it was the best choice I’ve made! I called the day before to book an appointment however no one answered. I took the chance and went in the next day to find all appointments were booked. The receptionist understood my issue and took matters into her own hands pushing me into a slot. So many different employees worked on my hair and were all great. They are a bit overpriced but it was very well worth it considering I wanted to do ombré and my hair is fragile. Plus, they use great and sophisticated hair products that protect your hair more than the average.
Pilatos is great and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a transformation !

I have struggled for weeks trying to decide where to go to change my hair color. I am very particular about my hair and I wasnt sure which color i wanted. I went to Jaime and showed him a picture of a color I liked and he explained his suggestion as well as the technique and process he was going to use to make my black hair lighter to medium brown. I LOVE MY NEW HAIR COLOR. He was just great. Maria and Luz assisted him during the process and they were awesome as well. I will certainly go back and recommend Jaime to anyone who is looking for a great job on hair coloring. Excellent service!

You get as much attention and attention to detail as at a much more expensive Manhattan salon.

Awesome service and not very expensive.
Stylists are very professional, all of them, and especially Jorge.
