Fabio is a hair cutter/stylist bested by no one in my 40 yrs+ of having stylists cut my hair. His new shoppe is comfortable, light and uplifting. This is a Madison Ave establishment. I have been a client for some 15 yrs and am more than satisfied with each and every cut. If you are shopping for a new stylist (I have no experience with coloring) I strongly recommend Fabio. His staff is always friendly and professional as well.

Incredible experience!! Fabio is EXTREMELY knowledgeable about hair and used to work at NYFW runway shows. He makes you feel super welcome and walks you through what he’s doing as he’s doing it. The pricing is really reasonable for NYC, everyone there is so nice, and my blowout looked incredible after! Will definitely be back for more treatments

Fabio is, quite simply, a hairstyle artist. I moved away from the area and was gone for five years. When I moved back, I returned to Fabio's Hair and Color Studio! He remembered me, and it felt like a homecoming. Fabio gives you his full attention and is an expert in all he does. He even started his own hair product line and they smell amazing! The staff is very welcoming and friendly, too, and the salon is bright and beautifully decorated. Very glad to be back! :)

Fabio was meticulously about cutting my hair. He listened to what I wanted but also gave me feedback from his experience as to what would make my cut come out even better. Great experience. I will be back.

Fabio is so great at what he does. During the consultation he listens to what you want and then gives recommendations accordingly to what you asked for and explains why it will look better and how it will suit you more. Fabio also engages in fun conversation through out. I have never felt this comfortable at a hair appointment. First time in my life I’ve gotten exactly what I asked for and it was executed perfectly. I’m never going to anyone but Fabio for a haircut ever. You have to give him a try.

I went to Fabio’s hair salon not knowing anything about the salon. Coming from out of state for a wedding I was able to get an appointment with Fabio. Well what a fabulous experience this was . Fabio evaluated my hair and used his artistic talent to create a beautiful blowout
, which survived a rain storm. I’ve never had such wonderful service and highly recommend this salon 💯. Also he spent an hour styling my hair!

Excellent experience at Fabio's salon. Fabio performed a thorough assessment of my hair, shared his impressions and listened attentively to my wishes. With that solid foundation, I was completely comfortable having him cut my hair. I'm very pleased with the outcome. He has a very pleasant no-nonsense way about him that sets you at ease. He takes what you've got and turns it into the best it can be.

I would give this place a 0 for customer service. I booked an appointment online for highlights and two hours later called to confirm that a wash and blow dry were included with the service. I was told that it would be $45 extra so I asked if I could cancel since I had just booked the appointment. He said he would have the receptionist cancel my appointment. THEN I received an email that I would be charged $83.70 for late cancellation yet I had JUST booked the reservation. When I called back he said I was taking an appointment away from another customer. In the cancellation email, there was an option to REBOOK the appointment yet when I attempted to rebook I received a message that the appointment was no longer available. When I tried to call back numerous times to try to rebook I kept getting a voicemail message. I walked over to the shop and saw two men sitting in the front of the salon talking and all of the chairs were empty. This place is a sham operation. Beware!

He completely maimed me before my wedding. 1 month before my wedding and the day before an job interview, I came in Sunday at 2pm for their $95 natural root coverage and repeatedly said I don't want my hair color to change, only my roots covered and he repeatedly assured me for the 1 hour+ time saying only my gray roots would be colored, my hair would remain the same color. Even afterwards, he lied by trying to deny there was any color change to my naturally black hair, falsely claiming that it only looked red due to the the lighting of the salon and tried to point out part of my scalp that he didn't completely dye a different color. And he didn't even completely cover my grays. Paying over a $100 to get maimed and lied to has been my worst ever hair salon experience.
See the photo for my naturally black hair with a few grays to the new color that I was lied to before, during and after the application about. And a month before my wedding!

2 second wash, extremely choppy and uneven cut. Regrettable experience. Would not recommend booking with Benjamin.

I really think this salon is pretty good with color! I think it deserves a 4 and I would say it's a safe place to go if you're in the area and need a walk in appointment- I don't think you'll be disappointed. They have a walk-in deal for blowouts and a deal for first time clients.
My colorist is a perfectionist and has a quirky sense of humor lol -- it's a little spark under my a%$ type of humor but I can take it. She always makes the best coffee if you're into that.
I really like that she can work on brunettes well.

Julie did an amazing job with my hair , she took her time to listen and give advice about what's better for my hair, she is a magician, so nice and friendly soul , highly recommended, will go back for sure.

Julie does an AMAZING job with my hair. She does take a bit long but it usually comes out perfect. One time it didn't but she fixed it (did charge me to fix it for which I wasn't thrilled about).
So why 3 stars, well, masks seem to be optional and I don't appreciate it. They fight in front of clients and make fun of each other in a bullying king of way and that makes me very uncomfortable being there. It took me about 5yrs to find a stylist that I like, after I moved to NY so now I'm very conflicted.

An absolute NO. It's taken me two months to write this review because I've been working with one hand since wrist surgery. But not a day has gone by that I haven't thought of this experience. I took a major fall and was in a full arm cast and couldn't wash my hair or move my arm much less for the first few weeks after my fall. After about a week, without family here, I thought I would splurge and get my hair washed. Mind you, I just wanted my hair washed. I wanted to relax (yall know how good it feels to get your hair washed), I wanted to get clean, and I wanted to just get some much needed help. I got quite the opposite here. I did not have an appointment walking in. No big thing, and because they were empty, they took me right away. I politely asked upon entering if they would mind just washing my hair and that I didn't need a full blowout or a blow-dry even, I just wanted my hair washed and put in a ponytail since I wasn't able to do even that small task. IMMEDIATELY, they responded, well, we have to charge you. Duh! Then they repeated, we have to charge you. I said, "yes, of course, I wasn't expecting it for free." Um, who would?
It gets worse. The man who washed my hair was rough and quick. Less than two minutes, no massaging, no care. Instead... he asked about my roots, pressured me for a trim, and repeatedly berated my color. Now if my self esteem wasn't low enough from barely being able to move and take care of myself, the lack of sympathy and sheer embarressment I felt about my roots, made me feel the lowest I've ever felt in a salon. Ever.
Yes, I needed my roots done. I was in the process of growing them out and deciding what I was going to do for summer. Like I usually do. Yes, I needed a trim. Did I need to hear it, so rudely, from a hairdresser? No. I was ready to leave after the repeated push for me to get my hair done. I was becoming agitated and kept my cool but was on the verge of tears. Never did he ask about my injury or share sympathy when I expressed my stress and pain and that getting my hair done was the last thing I cared about at that moment. He pushed. The second I got out of that chair and paid my bill ( $25 for the wash), I walked home crying my eyes out.
I do not post this to sway people from going here. It seems from the other reviews, some people have good experiences and they have many regulars. Great for them. I wrote this to suggest better customer service, more sympathy, more empathy, and less judgement. I know we are on the UES, I know I was due for my roots to be touched up, I also know, I was in need of kindness and compassion that day, and I hope you strive for that in the future.

I've been going to Fabio for six years now. Moved to New Jersey and I still commute into the city to get my hair done by him. He's a phenomenal colorist and is the only person that doesn't butcher my hair when I ask for layers or bangs! He made my burgundy hair vision come true a few years ago and gave me gorgeous blonde highlights this summer. I always recommend him and his team to anyone and everyone and will continue to do

Fabio the owner is attentive, professional and him as well as the staff's main priority is to please their customers!
Julie and Connie are both great stylists and the customer always comes first.
Julie is an AMAZING colorist is the first time that I finally got my hair highlighted to my satisfaction.
This hair salon always exceeds my expectations .
If you want your hair done glamorous,perfect and beautiful I HIGHLY recommend Fabio's Hairsalon!
In the past I always left a Hairsalon unhappy and here I always leave with a smile and I don't have to redo when I get home, which it was the case in the past!

After 30 years with the same stylist in another state, I switched to Julie a year ago; and she has provided me with a very sleek, stylish haircut along with a color that fits my skin tone like no other. Also, on occasion, I add highlights, which always come out perfectly. I receive nothing but compliments on my hairstyle by friends and family, which was not the case over the past several years. Julie is very professional, and a perfectionist who provides consultation on what hairstyle along with a recommended hair color scheme that works best with your facial features. Her advice never fails.
