Salvatore Leonetti Salon

This salon is fantastic. The space is bright and welcoming and all of the staff are wonderful. I started going to see Douglas who is a genius with color (especially blondes) and got a cut with Sal. I couldn’t be happier If you are looking for a great hair experience without the drama of other Yorkville salons, this is the place. Customer service is fabulous.

VIBE
The salon is located below so you have to go down stairs to access it. A very typical scenario in Yorkville where a lot of places are above and below and you wouldn’t even know it! Salvatore Leonetti (SL) is a warm and welcoming environment with lots of light, windows and mirrors. Staff are relaxed and down to earth. There is quite the selection of tea here if you’re thirsty.
THE GOODS
These guys are colourist masters. I’ve been wanting to get my highlights done forever and I was recommended to Doug who is a PRO (after all, he’s been colouring hair for over 25 years and doesn’t look a wrinkle past 38!). He perfectly matched the blonde on the bottom of my hair to the top. I feel brand new again and though I get compliments I also get a lot of stares (in a good way… not the creepy way).
My one pet peeve is that the blo dry is not included in your service. You have to pay for it separately. If you don’t, you have the choice of drying your own hair. My blow out was fantastic as well but I do wish they would just put it all in one price.
OBLIGATORY CATCHY REMARK
The services are NOT cheap but in the best sense of the phrase, you really do get what you pay for. I feel like a million bucks and I’m glad I saved up my money for the service. Doug is a blonde expert but he highlights all colours of the hair rainbow.

This salon is great. The décor is nice — very modern and everyone who works here is super friendly. Unlike some other salons in the area, I find it isn’t pretentious. Customer service is great and they offer everyone a latte/​tea/​coffee water when you get there. I’m not a great planner and have always been able to get an appointment even on short notice. I’ve seen both Eve and Lina on different occasions for a cut & style and was completely happy with both. The entire team is highly skilled, hand picked and has significant experience in top salons here & abroad. They really try to understand your lifestyle, what you’re looking for, how short, etc. I’ve never been as happy with a hair cut then from here… I highly recommend!
