Ted Gibson Salon

I came here for a haircut with Jennifer (junior stylist) and had a great experience! The salon is very clean and bright. I am someone who does not enjoy getting my hair cut, but Jennifer made me feel at ease in her chair. She gave me a short stress-​relieving massage before washing my hair – it was great!
One downside of the experience was the Jennifer’s station was located right next to a window, and it was a very sunny day, so the sun was shining into my eyes and it was somewhat uncomfortable.
I love my new look and will hopefully return to Ted Gibson one day, but I have a hard time justifying spending $ 125 (not including tax and tip) on a haircut.

Had a great haircut from Madison! Will definitely go back! Very friendly and skillful!

Ted GIbson as well as his salon have always had an excellent reputation in NYC. Along with their editorial work seen in many fashion magazines.
I actually met Ted Gibson over 10 years ago
Through a mutual friend. And recently re-​met during a model cut about 6 months ago.
Working part time always changes the dynamics of wants and needs. Today
I’m Richee’s advanced short hair. I’m a pixie
Girl and a true believer that all ladies need to go short at least once.
Love this salon and I always know I’m in excellent hands.

I got a Gilt City voucher for a haircut and I’m so glad I did! I had an amazing cut with Madison and she did such a wonderful job cutting and blowing it out. I can’t tell you how many compliments I’ve received on this haircut, and how fresh, clean and healthy my hair looks. If you’re in need of a sprucing up or changing your look I would definitely recommend Madison — she’s very talented and very sweet!

Fabulous experience! When you walk in the give you a satin robe, offer drinks, salon is very pretty. During hair cut you receive complimentary hand massage.
Go to yelena — my haircut and style was perfect!!!

Absolutely amazing. Came here for the first time for a drastic change — from semi long hair to a choppy bob — and left with exactly what I wanted. Yalena is not only incredibly talented, but she is so sweet and extremely thoughtful. I showed her pictures of what I wanted and we talked through it — she asked a ton of questions to make sure 1. I knew what I was getting my self into and 2. she knew exactly how I wanted it. I’ve been to really high end salons in the past (Warren Tricomi, Hopscotch in CT) but never have I left a place so pleased with the finalized product. She showed me different ways to wear my new length and how to style it. I was really nervous to cut my hair so short and am so pleased that I chose to trust Yalena with this change. Couldn’t have gone better! Will definitely be going back.

I got a Gilt City pass for my Kerastase Treatment and blow out at Ted Gibson. The salon is very pretty but am I going to the salon for the service. They offered me water and gave me a robe to throw over my clothes. I was immediately taken for a hair wash. The woman washing my hair was very rough around my ears and I didn’t like that at all. I obviously told her to be gentle and I never saw her again after my wash. Then they took me back to the chair and my stylist started giving me a shoulder massage, which was weird to be honest. It lasted for 2 minutes. Then my hair was blow dried. During this time, I got a quick 3 minutes hand massage. After blow dry, I was done. I asked, when was the kerastase product used in my hair and they said during the wash. I wasn’t told by the hair washer that she was during the product. I have done this before at other salons and I know the basic procedure. So at the end, I wasn’t even sure I received the service I paid for except blow dry. My hair didn’t feel softer or any different after. The stylist mentioned that the treatment would stay for approx 10 washes. LOL That was a joke! I honestly don’t think they even used kerastase product in my hair at all.
I would have appreciated if I was explained their treatment procedure. And the 2 minute massages are honestly just weird. Its like getting a spa on a chair… its awkward and uncomfortable.

If I could give a negative star, I would.
SOMEONE IN THE SALON STOLE STUFF FROM MY BAG. And their response to the incidence is far below what anyone would expect from their fancy celebrity stylist’s salon façade.
When I realized it as I was about to pay the tip, the staffs were accommodating and the manager told me she’ll go through the security tape and replace the iPad that was stolen along with cash (that I had taken out for tipping from an atm just before the appointment). I thought at the time, wow these people are so nice trying to help me and everything. I left them my phone # as the manager said she’ll contact me back once she’s talked to the owners (who weren’t there and for whatever reason couldn’t be reached by a phone call).
Did I get a phone call? Nope.
The manager then changed her apologetic attitude to bitchy condescending tone after a few days. I’m guessing the owners told her not to promise me anything because she literally treated me like I’m trying to scam them. She basically shoo-​ed me out when I went back to ask if she had contacted the owners (she said they weren’t in yet so I left).
Fast-​forward 2 weeks, I still hadn’t gotten a call back. So I finally call them and all she says is that the owners won’t replace the iPad and that the salon is not reliable for lost or stolen properties.
I understand many public areas state that. But I only left my bag in their hands unattended because the receptionist told me to. I trusted that a salon with $$$ sign on Unilocal would be more careful with their customers’ belongings especially when they told me they’ll «take care of it.» Also what really gets me is how the manager just flip-​flopped her attitude. I don’t think she even went through the security camera. Or actually maybe she did and found that one of her staff stole my stuff. Her overall tone was like I’m a dirty orphan tugging at her for coins circa Oliver Twist era. I just felt shitty about getting treated like a loser even thought I’ve done nothing wrong except for having trust in them. And why is it so hard for her to call me first? If you said you’ll follow-​up on this theft, follow up on it even if you have nothing but bad news. Apologize for my loss. Not treat me like dirt. Especially when she told me she can order a new one to replace it when it happened.
Also you know what, even a gesture of partial compensation would have been ok. I’m a medical student and our exams are on ipads. That thing is my academic life line. Not just some fancy toy I like to tote around. Now I have to take out $ 500 from my stringent student loan budget for another one.
ANYWAYS BOTTOM LINE, DON’T GO. THERE ARE PLENTY OF NICE HAIR SALONS WHO DO BETTER JOBS FOR THEIR PRICE AND CUSTOMER SERVICE TO MATCH THEIR PRICE.

I got a discount for a haircut and a blow out here a couple weeks ago off of Gilt. I’ve done this many times for a bunch of salons throughout the city, and have always had okay service or haircuts. But at my appointment, I was treated like I was paying full price and moreover, Madison gave me the best haircut I’ve had in years. I keep getting complimented on it. She was also super sweet! I’ll definitely be back here for my next haircut.

Greg is now at Brush salon

When I first moved to NYC I asked around for the best place to get a haircut in the city and I was instructed to go to Ted Gibson.
Upon arrival I was greeted with a friendly staff, and my choice of a non-​alcoholic beverage. The space is immaculately kept and has high ceiling with natural light. I was paired with Dayna, who you cannot miss! She has pink hair and a contagious smile. She washed my hair twice and then escorted me to a chair where we discussed exactly how I wanted my cut to look. Afterwards she gave me one of the best blowouts I’ve had to this day. I was shampooed, cut and blownout in under an hour. (I have thick hair, so this process is normally a lot longer.) During my blowout, another associate came over and gave me a hand massage with scented lotion of my choosing. Yes, the haircut is pricey, but it is definitely an establishment where you get what you pay for. 2.5 years later I’m still a loyal customer.

I was on the hunt for my hair to call «home» when I moved here. I met Yelena and I fell in love with her the minute she smiled and introduced herself; she was so warm and inviting! I never know what I want with my hair besides long layers, and long layers always looked «eh ok» afterwards. She worked her magic with my hair, fixing the weird growing-​out bangs that I hated while explaining the how-to’s in styling. She thinned out my thick hair beautifully too! By the time she was done with me, I knew I met «the one» for my hair! Along with the amazing cut, I got pampered with a really nice scalp massage along with a hand massage. Everybody here was super sweet and welcoming. Will definitely be coming back again!!!

Love love love this place!
Went there with a gilt city deal for highlights and a haircut. I had Austyn for the color and I am obsessed! Amanda did my cut and I will not go anywhere else again.
They listened and did EXACTLY what I asked for.
The salon is lovely and in a great location. Friendly front desk, and not too pushy to try and up-​sell with products.

I had a cut and blow dry with Amanda and she is amazing! My hair is very kinky curly, frizzy, and unmanageable. Amanda was able to transform and tame my curls in under 2 hours. The service and atmosphere at Ted’s are impeccable. Worth every dollar!

My appointment was rescheduled a week later and I saw Sherry. I could not be happier with my hair! She asked me many questions about how I wear my hair and what I had in mind. She was really sweet and very thorough. I highly recommend her.
Props to Madison as well who helped her out!

I found out about this salon through a Gilt City deal. I got a fantastic haircut from Chris carney. He gave me exactly what I wanted and was very attentive.
The cut i received was longer in the front and short in the back (my hair overall is pretty short). It came out perfectly and received many positive comments about it.
Where many stylists would stop, Chris continued to work on the style and cut until it looked perfect. He was able to thin out my hair with the razor and gave it a very sleek and modern look. I also received a complementary hand massage which was also enjoyable.
I have absolutely no complaints.

I had a cut and blow dry with Whitney last night and it rocked! She listened to everything I wanted and gave me great feedback to make the cut perfect. She gave me options of going safe or edgier and asked before making the chop, so i really got the cut I wanted. I’m really happy with the final result.
Along the way, she also gave me great advice and tips o product selections without trying to «sell» me. It was all very genuine. She took her time and did a great job.
Overall, the salon was nice and clean. All the staff members were very nice and accommodating and everyone client looked happy to be there.
Great experience. I will definitely be back!

Amanda rocks! Great experience from start to finish. Very professional staff and love my haircut! I can’t wait to come back to the salon for highlights next week!
Definitely worth the price!

I was a model for Maribel today for a single process root retouch. They are very catering to your hair needs and ask lots of questions about how satisfied you are with your hair, what you want it to look like, damage, how you manage it, etc. I had a brown color that started to turn copper after a few months so I wanted to return to a warmer brown tone.
After the root retouch, it didn’t initially match the rest of my hair at all. It was a lot blonder/​golden and brighter than I anticipated and I was actually a little disappointed because ION got it so perfect last time. I had this coppery tone on the majority of my head and a more golden color on my roots so I was worried. She finished it off with a gloss 2 shades darker that evened out my entire head so I walked out very happy with my warmer and slightly darker brown tone that was even and lovely. I only hope that the colors don’t turn funny once the gloss wears off…
The blowout at the end was very rushed and could have honestly been better. But she had a second client come in as she was wrapping up, and I admire her for being on time with the next client. It was great for a model appointment and I will definitely consider this place for cuts next time!

I think this place has gone downhill. I am sure Ted himself is amazing, but the staff here is not up to his caliber. I have never in my life had to make a return visit to a salon between regularly scheduled appts, but I did here — a couple of times in fact.
The prices are pretty average for NYC, and there are probably better places you can go – even if they don’t carry a celeb stylist name.
