Adel Atelier

Adel is a treasure. Best thing to happen to upper East Side.
Lived in New York City most of my adult life and had hair done at Manhattan salons throughout — some famous for their celebrity work. Adel Chabbis was recommended by journalist friend. I can’t thank her enough. Adel is FABULOUS.
He has a wonderful sense of style. I watched him as he changed the looks of women from «OK» to fabulous. I loved what he did for me. I let him cut a whole lot of length and style it as he wished.
Shortly after, while having dinner at a local restaurant, the owner came by and said, «Your hair looks great,» Then, I knew. No phony compliments from just the people whom I knew. This one was real.

He is as amazing as it gets ! I had hair down my back and I went to him for a more sophisticated look. I left looking classy and sexy which is something a girl loves. I went back for a short cropped hairstyle and I could not have asked for a better style. I’ve recommended so many people to him and everyone loves him!

By far the best haircut I’ve had. Both my wife and I loved how Adel cut our hair. Everybody is also super friendly. Bravo!

I usually don’t write reviews however I was inclined to describe my experience after having read a negative review here regarding Adel Atelier’s colorist Gina Marie. I have to say I have had a complete opposite experience and absolutely LOVED the outcome of my hair and the way I was treated by Gina Marie! I have trusted Gina with my color for years and she has never shown me anything less than complete professionalism and GORGEOUS results as she took my hair from being discolored «banded», dull color and completely brought it back to life! My hair is rich and healthy!
I was shocked when reading an «unhappy client’s» review on here mainly because it was Gina Marie’s method and complete honesty that had instantly gained my trust as a client! It’s sad that it has been misinterpreted to be egotistical. In my opinion, Gina Marie values her work and method and it is this reason that she won’t make an impulse decision based on a customer’s want for a certain style. Let’s face it, sometimes you can’t have your dream hair overnight mainly because, well, sometimes you need to go through a process in order to achieve a look while maintaining a healthy head of hair! It is this that a lot of colorists are lacking Bc their main goal is to get paid. Gina Marie’s level of expertise in this regard had been unmatched! She has in no way ever denied me of experimenting, only taken her time in achieving it in order to be sure my hair didn’t suffer!
Personal rating: Gina Marie is one of the BEST colorists in the NYC area!

Adel is awesome. I came in after 6 years of wearing extensions ready for a natural haircut. He knew exactly what to do and gave me an awesome shape and brought my hair back to life with the conditioning treatments and oils he made himself. However I will never go back because Gina Marie is simply wretched. She does not know how to communicate and hides behind her ego. I can’t even comment on her work because I didn’t get to that point. She made me feel bad about the «quality» of my hair and was unwilling to offer any solutions. I feel horrible for adel for all of the business she must cost the salon. Haircuts from adel are awesome but I recommend avoiding Gina like the plague.

I was overjoyed to see Adel Atelier recently open in my neighborhood. I was in desperate need of a blowout before an event and thankfully they were able to fit me in for a same day appointment last minute!
Adel, the Owner, did an incredible job designing the salon. It’s a small space but it feels spacious and you can tell the team takes pride in their workspace because it was spotless and sparkling. Their shampoo chairs were the most comfortable I’ve ever experienced and they were massage chairs to top it off!
I also had the privilege of receiving my blowout from Adel, which came out amazing! His products smelled fantastic and he used special French rollers which left my hair fabulous for days!
I highly recommend this salon and I will be going back soon for a haircut and color. Bravo Adel!

I discovered Adel Atelier when the salon was on Orchard Street, and now it’s moved to another lovely space on 58^th Street. The atmosphere remains relaxed and friendly. The colorist, Gina, does a great job with my highlights and single process, and Adel, the owner, is a wonderful hair cutter. Highly recommended.
