Suite 303

A desperate last minute search led me to this salon and I am so, so happy that it did. The fact that I am very particular about haircuts and am often unable to clearly communicate my vision, has left me with some pretty disappointing outcomes in the past. Not this time!
First off, I’d like to thank Lisa for fitting me into her already fully booked day. She was such a delight. She understood the exact look I was trying to achieve and made a few suggestions that made my haircut look even better! Secondly, She catered to me as if I was then only person in the salon. Thanks again for the great cut and conversation. Cant wait to be back.

I was so excited to get a gilt discount certificate for this place. It’s really close to me and I thought possibly it could be my new salon. Unfortunately the smoothing treatment that I got was poorly done by Lisa and I won’t be going back. Not only did she seem angry from the beginning but she didn’t use a brush the entire time and used her hands to do the whole process causing a lot of my hair to be pulled out in front of me. Additionally, anything I asked for like a part or to not iron my bangs she became more irritated by. At the end the whole process looked terrible and messy. While I would like to say she was the only rude person there, I can’t because the woman who wash my hair also acted like she was doing me a favor. I still have a certificate for a haircut but I guess I won’t be going back.

I used a Gilt voucher, and they still gave the the royal treatment! This was quite possibly the best haircut I’ve gotten in NY. It’s a very comfortable atmosphere, they gave me a glass of wine at the start– fantastic. Lisa did a great job listening to what I wanted. I definitely want to come back.

I just got shagged at Suite 303! This is quite possibly one of New York’s best hidden treasures– April Barton cuts intuitively, and always exudes both a warmth and professionalism which is rare in the industry these days.
Great vibe, music and the salon just exudes pure, effortless «cool».
The staff at Suite 303 is exceptional as well, friendly, and professional.
I’ve been to Hershberger, John Barrett & Marie Robinson’s salons and I just feel more «at home» here. I can’t imagine going anywhere else.

Love this salon. everything about it. The staff, the atmosphere, and mostly their excellence in hair. Suite 303 is art.
Unfortunately I am living on the West Coast now. Could any of you Suite 303 fans recommend a salon that is anywhere close to their level of service? Im in the bay area and willing to travel.

Angela’s the best!!! I always leave her chair feeling sharp & confident. Highly recommended !!!

Angela McC. ist so schnell und professionell. Angenehm und freundlich. Die Zeit ist wie im Fluge verflogen. Toller Haarschnitt und ein tolles Erlebnis. Geht auf jeden Wunsch ein und holt den Kunden ab.

ANGELA McCORMICK is the only way to go! She has been taking care of me for Two + years. By far the most professional and talented stylist out there! L O V E

I’ve been going to Suite303 for several years now, and have seen Katie (who is about to go on maternity leave) and couldn’t be happier. They don’t over book and she takes the time needed to make sure you are getting the cut that you want and that will look good on you. They don’t push products on you but every time I have asked for a recommendation for a product, Katie is spot on. Highly recommend.

There is no other place I would go to get my hair done. April Barton is a genius stylist ! No one else will ever cut my hair .She is amazing! As far as color goes Heather is great !

I would follow Katie all over the world.
I’ve been seeing her for years, and now I live in DC and have to come to NYC for my haircuts… and I’m not even that high maintenance of a person. She’s just the best. I almost always get stopped on the sidewalk after leaving – or even while still in the salon!– to get asked who does my hair. Seriously. It makes me feel like I’m in a sitcom or something. And my hair’s not even that cool.
I don’t want to review her and make her even more popular, but I guess that’s selfish… Only downside (and I can’t take away a star for this) is that it’s gotten really expensive… but her cuts grow out so well that I justify it by not needing to get it cut as often.

April Barton is the hair whisperer! She gave me an amazing haircut that I have gotten many compliments on. She also cut my 22 year old daughters hair and was just as good at making a 22 feel great about her hair as me! The
salon is really fun and has a great vibe. I have already referred two friends and will send more.

I have gotten my hair done here for years… they are truly the rocks stars of hair cutting. They are pro but not snotty… they will give their opinion but also listen to what you want, and I always leave a VERY happy customer and I ALWAYS get tons of compliments on my cut and my color. Heather is da BOMB.

This review is long overdue. Having moved to Newyork a year back i had not been able to find the best person for my hair until i found Heather ! Recently i got my hair done on a whim from an apparently good salon in the city which turned out into a disaster. Panicked and nearly suicidal i called on Heather to the rescue. She spent a good number of hours in trying to save my hair and gave me the best hair color of my life. Never stepping into any other salon than suite 303 ! For life ! Thankyou Heather and everyone at Salon 303!

Finding a great hair artist like April is much like finding the perfect cheeseburger… with all the fixin’s that when combined create magic. And once you find it you simply won’t go anywhere else. One that you would even travel great distances for… April; you are my cheeseburger!

I had to write a review after getting my hair dyed and trimmed by Heather at this salon. I am extremely picky about my hair to the point of not allowing anyone near it and then I just prepare myself for the worst whenever I have to get it cut! So when my naturally red hair started turning gray I was in trouble, it looked terrible and I needed help! I knew it would be extremely tricky to keep it natural looking (really important to me) so I asked my friends for their recommendations and went to Heather. I HAVE NEVER BEEN HAPPIER WITH MY HAIR!!! Really, it looks amazing and I have Heather (and the time she took to talk with me and use various techniques to get it perfect) to thank! Yay!!!

Because of Katie Riesco, my friends believe I have mastered the art of a good blow out. Straight or wavy, my hair always seems to look better than it ever did. Katie also suggested I try a slightly longer, easier-​to-​manage take on bangs, which oddly enough has softened certain features on my face, namely my Cro-​Magnon jaw.
All things considered, she’s magic.

What a terrific salon! A relaxing and pleasant groove and April Barton is an amazing stylist. I always get numerous compliments on my hair, not only from friends and family but also from people on the street. Her prices may seem high but you have to remember that a great haircut is worth it. It takes just minutes to style it and my hair looks great for 3 months between cuts. It’s really a great value when you look at the amount of time her cuts last. I’m really thrilled with the service.

Cool space and even had beautiful live music during my color and cut. I’ve been going to Mandee for years and she’s amazing. She’s great at keeping me looking natural but sassy. This place is even dog friendly, offers complimentary wine and has a good energy!

WHAT I ASKED FOR: keep my volume and length, soft layers all over (hair length was at my lower back)
WHAT I RECEIVED: thinned out, razored, medium length cut with uneven layers. I’ve been giving myself a haircut here and there just to bring my hair back to a length where I could get it cut elsewhere.
PRICE: The cut was ~$ 190
STYLIST: Katie. If you want to just let her do as she pleases and you do not have a look in mind, you may come out of it semi-​satisfied. She did not listen to me– not at the beginning, during or end of the cut as she kept saying I was going to love the cut.
I could not believe how bad it looked. I’ve waited months before giving a review just so that it could be somewhat objective.
April– the owner– was very kind and beyond accommodating while I was there. Unfortunately, I will not be returning.

I came to their new space for the first time today (apparently opening day:
) & wanted to give a shout-​out to Mandee, who recently moved from another salon to Suite 303. I’ve been going to her for years & she’s great. Now I get to have my haircut in an awesome space — relaxed, cool vibe.
