Fabio Doti Salon — Local services in New York

I have without a doubt never experienced such a sophisticated and professional hair cut in my life. I am so used to being rushed in and out of a standard barber shop that just wants to get it over and done with while talking about mundane subjects like the weather that I was shocked by this most recent hair appointment at Fabio Doti. It’s a beautiful establishment covered in mirrors, hair dressing equipment and a lot of highly attractive people with a great playlist in the back ground. I was greeted kindly by a lovely Irish lady who provided me with a banging cappuccino which was a surprise to be offered one. When it was my turn I revealed my naivete as I was lead to a bank of posh looking washing stations where another lovely lady from Jersey expertly serviced my head by washing and massaging it! I havnt ever done this before and was amazed at how great it felt as she was clearly very good at what she does and was very pleasant to speak to. Next I was fortunate enough to have the owner cut my hair, Fabio, who started asking questions about what I wanted and how I used to have it cut and so on which again is new because most barbers don’t seem to be interested in what you want. I felt very looked after and was really honestly amazed by how great of an experience this all was. I ended up with a great hair cut and a superb experience. I urge you, who ever you are, to experience this place as I cant see my self ever enjoying a ‘normal’ hair cut again. Worth every cent and I would love to always...

This is my first experience at Fabio Doti salon. Upon arrival, the receptionist who was pleasant, and had a big smile greeted me. I was led to the changing area to get on a rob. Christina, Gianni’s assistant who was super nice, attentive and friendly greeted me, offered me a drink, helped me get comfortable and introduced me to the stylist, Gianni. As with any studio, you need to find the right stylist that fits your needs. Someone that is able to put your vision into action, Gianni did it all, he’s an Artist and not your regular hairdresser. He first spend time studying me facial features and gave me good advice as to what compliments my face. I wanted a nice bob, he spend more than an hour, cutting and layering my hair, after styling he spend more time making sure everything was even. This is a work on an ARTIST, he gave me a beautiful short bob style!!! Gianni is a well-cured Artist that really understands his client’s needs; he gave me sound advice as how to maintain my hair post salon visit. I really enjoyed the staff at Fabio Doti, especially his assistant Christina who could not do enough to ensure that I received excellent service the entire time I was there. She gave me celebrity service without the status! This experience helped me shape the difference between a hairdresser and an...

Fabio and Gianni are hair geniuses. Absolutely love my cut, style and balayage (for the first time). I have long, thick hair with multiple textures and have had such a hard time historically trying to do anything on the shorter side. Fabio listened to my needs and knew exactly what to do, and even what would fit my lifestyle (have wanted a good, collar-bone length style that I could still put up running after a 3.5 and 5 year old but not have a total mom look). And then wasn't expecting to get color done since I'd never done before and didn't want to have the upkeep - but decided to go for it with Gianni and love it! He made it natural, love the color and how it brings out my other features. Plus not a ton of upkeep required. Also to note I have since washed and styled my hair on my own - and as promised by Fabio, it was super easy to style on my own and still looks awesome! I usually run into issues where I leave the salon feeling good about my hair/blowout but then can never seem to get close to replicating it again. Not the case this time (though I won't claim to be as good at styling as Fabio). Still love it a wash and style later.

The experience was amazing as well - great conversation, relaxing massage chairs, great wash, very attentive to detail and no rush at all. Will...
