West 29th Salon
West 29th Salon is under new ownership - and what a great difference! I had a negative experience with this salon a couple years ago, but when I saw they were under new ownership, I decided to give them another try. I’m so glad I did!
Tonya is the new manager and stylist and she’s just flat out amazing. I visited the salon for a haircut (my hair was so shaggy after two years of the pandemic). My regular stylist moved away during the pandemic, and it just felt devastating. She’d been doing my hair for literally 20 years. So I was not only looking for a haircut, but hopefully a regular stylist as well – no pressure, Tonya!
I loved the haircut so much, I made an appointment for a perm. I love having curly hair. I’ve had many perms in my life, some of them pretty bad. But Tonya is like a perm expert. I was blown away. I have absolutely the best perm I’ve ever had. I feel so good about how I look. I feel better about myself than I have in quite a while. Suddenly, at 54 years old, I feel sexy and confident. I love having a stylist who knows what she’s doing, but also really listens to me and gives me exactly what I ask for.
The salon also offers everything else – for a small salon! – including nails, massage, and facials. I’m going back this week for some rainbow nails.
If you are looking for a great salon, I absolutely recommend the West 29th Salon and Tonya. I’ve had services at salons that cost substantially more, and haven’t had the quality of service here. This salon is a secret treat. I’m so delighted, I’m spreading the word. I’ll...
Read moreThe worst pedicure I’ve ever gotten. The water temp was not good, the scrub was poor, and when I said I wanted my nails clipped she asked me if the length was okay and I had to ask that she cut more. I also asked that the water temp be corrected but it was inconsistently managed. She put shoes on me after polish, and messed up three toes. Of course she fixed them, but overall the job looked bad. When she finished she immediately said I was good to leave and I had to request if I could spend more time in the chair to dry… it had already been nearly 90 minutes at this point. She sprayed some aerosol “quick dry” on my toes which I’ve never seen at any other salon. The job was lumpy and you could actually see inconsistencies in the coats that were put on. And, less than three days later the polish peeled off multiple toes. (I just had a regular, non gel/shellac polish.) I visited for the convenience in proximity to where I live and in the future I’ll take my...
Read moreI had driven by here before and was always curious as to how good it was, and really needing a haircut one day, I decided to give it a try. Apparently they've been in business many years, it was comfortable inside, and it was very affordable. My stylist was very nice, experienced, and listened to what I wanted done and did it. It didn't take too long and was very reasonable priced. I was so relieved when my hair came out fine, trying someone new can be so scary. I didn't have anything else done, but it seems they also do nails, hairdos for weddings, color, treatments, etc. I feel like I should mention all this because they don't have a website, and I know I get turned off from a place if I can't find any...
