The best back facial treatment and mini facial experience. Very reasonable price for the 1.5 hours of service I receive. Margot is absolutely amazing! I made sure to book another appointment with her asap. Margot is their golden ticket. As long as she's there they will continue to gain new clients.

I have been getting my hair cut here for YEARS (see below), but recently also tried a brow wax with Margot - it was a hit and I'm officially switching from Benefit! She was so nice, of course professional, did an AMAZING and painless job, topping off with some beautifully scented moisturizers. So so so looking forward to my next appointment, and maybe even trying a facial with her :) If you're interested in a haircut, I cannot recommend this place enough!
I tell everyone I know to go here. I've done men's long hair cuts, short hair, different styles, made up my own, highlights, full double process platinum blonde, all has been fantastic (even better than my old pricey salon in NYC)! I always see Maria or Sarah, but talk to the receptionist about what kind of style you're looking for and they can match you with the stylist for you :)

Stylist was great. I paid, tried scheduling a followup but the woman up front couldn't figure out how to work the schedule. I waited 10 minutes. After leaving, I received a voice message from the owner that I left without paying. The owner called again while I was still biking home (before I heard the first message), demanding my debit card. She called the second time from a blocked number. I checked my bank account and saw a pending withdrawal, and told her I had been charged.
She said that *I* needed to be patient and she would check. I asked if she had really called twice and accused me of leaving without paying before she checked. She demanded that I provide a confirmation number from my bank. I received several more calls and another voicemail finally that the payment appeared to have gone through. I don't plan to return. What a fantastic way to turn off new clients - by harassing and haranguing them and making false accusations repeatedly.

I used to be a once a year haircut kinda gal, but once Maria started cutting my hair things changed. I never knew what it was to have a good haircut. scratch that.a GREAT haircut. I go regularly so I can have gorgeous bouncy hair all the time, and with a head of hair as heavy as mine that's not easy; it's all in the cut. Highly recommend for the skills of the stylist, the front desk staff is always delightful and you cannot find a better massage in the city. Phiwan FTW.

Absolutely fantastic! Everyone is so nice and extremely knowledgeable! After moving a long distance away from my hometown (where the same salon has done my hair for the past 20+ years), I was eager to find someone I felt I could trust to take care of my hair and beauty maintenance. I am so thankful I found that level of expertise, guidance, and honesty in Salon Echo!

In love with everything. Very lovely and friendly staff to begin with. I went for a facial it was just great and super relaxing. Jessica did such an awesome job, plus she gave lots of advice and recommendations for my skin care. Plus EXTRA hand massage after masking my face! (So heavenly). I'm very pleased, will definitely visit again. Keep up the good work guys; from a very satisfied customer.

This salon Rocks! The staff and stylist are very pleasant and friendly. Although this was my first visit to Echo they made me feel as if I had been a well known client for years. I would like to thank Vardan for giving me a hairstyle that Rocks! Thank you. I will recommend this salon to all my friends and family. Keep up the the awesome job.
