Giovanni is such a perfectionist, his cuts are always literally perfect down to each strand. He also will keep you entertained with non-awkward small talk (& I truly usually hate small talk). A must try for your next cut at a reasonable price. Service: Haircut

I asked for a touch up and lighter, he covered all my hair with a darker color and covered my expensive highlights. I am still angry! To add insult to injury he took an hour and half to blow dry my hair which only takes me 40 minutes. I left the salon with frizzy hair and a lot darker with my highlights covered. Do not go here for color/blow dry

Stumbled onto this place. Cramped uncomfortable chair and quarters. Gave a very mediocre cut and charged over $41. then had the balls to ask if the tip would be on the card or cash! A boorish leftover hippie who doesn't know the '60s have passed him by!

Giovanni gave me good advice about choosing the right hair color. Now, I look and feel half my age! I'll be returning.

I've been going to Giovanni for about 2 years, and have been very happy. He actually listens to and understands what I am trying to achieve with my hair style, has some great suggestions, and doing some really skillful cutting.

Super friendly and great haircut. Not overly priced just an easy experience in the neighborhood. Did a perfect job cutting my ends

One star is too high. after many questions I received a brasilian blowout that was not supposed to be as strong or smelly as the normal one. unfortunately it was very strong. he did not have even one fan on me to dissipate the fumes even though I kept asking for a fan. he kept looking for sunglasses for me as my eyes were irritated. I ended up running out into the street as I could not breath.

I could feel all the chemicals in my lungs. I could not breath at all. after a minute I was better. he did not ask if I was ok. he insisted I go back to the chair. I refused. he insisted I pay. I refused. he said he would call the police but I just left. then I realized the next day I left my expensive sun hat there. I went back to get my hat. he claimed I didn't leave it (LIAR). and kept telling me to now pay half.

I told him I would pay to get my hat back. suddenly my hat appeared when he heard $$$. I could have run out with my hat and not pay him but he was so pathetic I gave him $40. I think when someone is gasping for breath and running into the street giovanni should be concerned if they are ok. not him. all he could think about was $$$. I was a very good customer before and went many times. NEVER AGAIN.

Great service. Fantastic blow outs. Giovanni Sacchi is a riot, a fantastic conversationalist who also really knows his stuff. A definite professional. Always very happy with his work. But definitely call for appointment, he works steadily throughout the week (closed on Mondays).

This salon only provides the highest quality and service. I have been getting my hair professionally straightened for the past 4 years, and no other salon has done a better job than Giovanni Sacchi. I have never been disappointed with a hair cut or hair treatment from here, and the prices are some of the most reasonable in New York City. I highly recommend booking your next appointment here. You will not be disappointed!

If you have short corse Asian hair and want a chic sophisticated layered cut, avoid this place at all costs. This is my first time leaving review at yelp, because I am simply HORRIFIED by my hair right now: spiky, insanely uneven and masculine. Obviously the stylist has little experience with corse east Asian hair. Halfway through I had to stop him from shortening my hair because even dampening with water the back batch sticks upward like a Mohawk.

In the end I had to use 5 bobby pins and some hair gel to contain the mess before walking the street. The reason I gave three stars is because a)the stylist is very nice b) they charged me $36 instead of $52.

My daughter wanted to get her hair done in New York. So we reviewed a few places. This place has decent reviews, so we booked an appointment. My daughter loved the service. Was so trilled with the cut and color.

Went for a straightening a few months ago - after my normal stylist retired. Salon was a bit of a mess, but that's not a reason for a bad review. Sacchi straightened my hair, which was much more of a relaxing or spot treatment in which she didn't leave chemicals on long enough, missed several spots completely with chemicals and the flat iron, and (as suspected) after washing my hair I found it a bumpy, wavey mess. $400 + "tip" down the drain.

These two were so strange that I didn't feel like arguing with them over what a straightening should look like nor did I want to subject myself to them/the weirdness of the salon again.

I've been going to Giovanni for 12 years straight. No one has consistently given me the perfect cut like this guy, and at a really great price.

If you're looking for an unpretentious friendly place to get a good cut, this is it. Great staff, reasonable prices, easy atmosphere. Love it!

Okay, so the guys there were really nice. So I feel a bit bad for the 2 stars. But at the end of the visit, am I happy with the haircut I went in for? Not so much. They have a promo going on for a shampoo and cut, but no blow dry. I find that a bit weird because the only way to really make sure the cut is well done is checking once the hair has dried.

And really, drying the hair up isn't the biggest task. :/ I wanted a V shape with layers. What I got was. I don't know, a U? something of the sort. I didn't realize this at the salon because my hair was still a bit wet and flat. At the end of the day, after all the air drying did I realize I didn't get what I wanted. *Heavy sigh*

I went to Giovanni Sacchi to get Japanese Straightening. Sacchi did my hair, and at times had an assistant help with blow drying/straightening which helped speed up the process a bit. It took 3.5 hours and I have long hair. My hair has come out very nice, soft and straight! Honestly I live by Japanese Hair Straightening. this is probably my 6th time getting it done, but first time having it done at Giovanni Sacchi.

It is so easy and low maintenance rather than having to deal with my naturally thicker, a bit frizzier, and somewhat curly hair. The price is right and the atmosphere is easy going and relaxing. It is a small salon but all I needed. Sacchi did a great job and I would definitely recommend it for Japanese Hair Straightening.

I've been coming to Saachi to do my Japaneese Straightening since 2007. I was referred by a friend and have been going back for the last 6 yrs. I get my hair straightened every 6-8 mos for the last 6 yrs. Yes, its $300, yes its 3-4 hours of awful smells but when I walk out of there, I have pin straight, shinny hair that lasts for 6+ mos. I love Sacchi.

She is a gem. She really knows her stuff. A few years back, I cut my long locks and went pixie. Giovanni cut my hair every 6 wks to maintain my style. Great couple, great place. I've now moved to Philadelphia and I will be traveling back to the UES in a few wks for another straightening.

The only reason I didn't give it five stars was for the environment, because it feels a little run-down, but that was only a minor detractor. I was looking for affordable, ombre color, and I definitely got it! Giovanni did my hair and he did a beautiful job. I will definitely go back because the price is right and now I know I can trust him to do my color. Everyone was very friendly and my hair looks chic!

Please don't bring your locks here! I went yesterday after I saw the $99 Keratin treatment on Groupon which I was excited about. I have had this treatment done 4-5 times in the past with no issues. I am sitting at work today with greasy hard hair, some of my ends are now burnt and now my pretty highlights are ORANGE highlights which I may add I paid good money for at another salon.

If one more person says "Wow, you got bright highlights" and stares at my hair I may scream. Giovanni seemed nice and welcoming, however, Sacchi who did my hair didn't greet me, speak to me and didn't tell me what she would be doing. Odd, she spoke to the man she whose hair she cut before mine. I almost wish I didn't tip her for ruining my hair!

She started slathering on the product then Giovanni told her to dry the hair first. So she, her attitude and the nice Assistant dried part of my hair. Sacchi stopped drying and starting flat ironing. I can't wash my hair until tomorrow since its the 48 hr Keratin which it probably won't even work and have made an appt tomorrow on a free Saturday to get my now orange highlights fixed. I used to get so many compliments on my hair and now I just want to wear a hat! Waste of my money. Silly me, you get what you pay for do not go there!
