FR Review:
Sacha & Olivier is a high-end hair salon known for its meticulous dry cuts, great coloring skills and absence of attitude. Owners Sacha Cohen and Olivier Mikhailoff both hail from Paris and the six-chair salon has a "sleek Parisian feel" that its devoted clientele appreciate, along with the "impeccable service" and "stunning cuts." Dry cutting is the modus operandi because it allows the stylist to see "just how the hair will fall." Cuts are then followed with the standard wash and blow.

Cohen and Mikhailoff opened the eponymous salon in 1993 and are joined by three additional stylists. Each stylist specializes in both cuts and color, though we hear that Olivier is especially great if you want your head treated "like a sculpture." Prices are recommended as "expensive " but "worth it" given "how nicely the cuts grow out." Cuts range from $75 to $200, those with Cohen or Mikhailoff obviously falling at the higher end. Perms, Japanese straightening and updos are also on offer, but no manicures, facials or other spa-like services. The focus here really is just on the hair.

Sacha & Olivier comes highly recommended and is an especially good option for those looking for a long-term stylist.

Representative Client Comments:
"I've recommended them a million times--to friends, family, even complete strangers." "In comparison to a lot of other premium salons, they actually listen to you and spend a lot of time touching and analyzing your hair before doing any cutting." "I've been coming here for over ten years--I once strayed to another big-name stylist because I had a gift certificate, but was disappointed and immediately returned to Olivier." "It's such an understated place--elegant without snootiness or fanfare." "Great place to be a regular." "They can do edgier looks too." "You'd be surprised just how often I get compliments on my hair."

Project Description & Comments:
I have been a client for nearly a decade now, and I can say without hesitation that everyone at Sacha & Olivier is dedicated to their work and does their very best to put their clients first. More than that, they are very, very talent. Olivier is an extremely experienced and talent stylist who knows exactly how to create the best styles for each individual. I've also had other services done there, including color, highlighting, and even the Japanese straightening. I have been completely satisfied with their work, and would recommend this salon highly.
In a city that has many talented hair stylists and professionals, Sacha, Olivier, and their staff are without a doubt among the best of the best.

Project Description & Comments:
I first came to Sacha & Olivier in tears when a famous celebrity uptown stylist broke my hair off pursuing my quest to remain blonde. That was 15 years ago and I would not dream of going to another salon. Their talent for color is now legendary - same for the cuts. Sacha & Olivier are both artists - With a devoted clientele, they are simply at the top of their game.
