Chris Chase

This has been a long time coming. I’m not one to write reviews, but Dan is one of the best colorists and stylists I’ve ever been to and I’ve tried many! A friend of mine recommended him after a disaster color job, I mean it was a disaster. I’m shocked he even took on the task. But after sitting in his chair for a couple hours he fixed my hair and then some. It was healthier and my color had never looked so good. Needless to say, I’ve never looked back and that was nearly 4 years ago. He truly is the master at his craft! He has a way with blonde hair and not only that but my hair is SO much healthier and happier after the years of seeing him. My highlights are always perfect and I feel on cloud nine after I see him. My boyfriend works a few blocks away and I always stop by to see him after and insist we go out so I can show off how great I look!
Not only is he incredible with color but he is also great with extensions. It was my first time getting extensions and he went the extra mile and made sure they were perfect. I always receive compliments on the color but with the extensions in they were overwhelming! He definitely did everything to make sure I was looking celebrity worthy and feeling incredible when I walked the red carpet at the Grammys.
I highly recommend him, not only is he incredible with hair but he is so much fun to chat with, I really enjoy and look forward to getting my hair done instead of the dread and doubt I had for so long! I’m so glad I found Dan and after visit after visit of perfection I’m never seeing someone else. Go see Dan!

I made an appointment for a haircut at 1:30pm on a Sunday. A receptionist called me an hour and a half before the scheduled appointment saying that my stylist was not working anymore and that there were no other stylists that could substitute. The receptionist made it seem like this was a normal occurrence and it was perfectly fine to call someone and cancel so close to the appointment. She was not apologetic and did not offer any sort of discount or other amends for the cancellation. She seemed completely nonchalant about losing a customer. I’ve never received this type of treatment at any other high-​end salon I’ve patronized. This behavior was very unprofessional.

The Chris chase salon is a great salon. The service is impeccable and they always service you right away without waiting. Oscar is by far the best colorist I’ve had. He listens to what you want and makes it better. I like very ash blonde and he is the best person to go to if you like ash blonde or ash tones in your hair !!! He also gives amazing blow outs !!! Leaves your hair voluminous and soft.

I did my research in finding a nice salon that I can trust for monthly treatment. This place has its name on many summaries for hair salon in NYC.
Their decoration is the best that I have ever seen. Of course that big chandelier help a lot. They have all transparent chairs, decorated wooden mirror. When you are in a shampoo and nobody block your view, your can yourself perfected in exactly one mirror across the hall. I don’t know if they designed this.
Nothing on the effect. I mean, for me, all treatment feel the same. The stylist game me a lot of suggestions. Although some of it I’m not sure if were promotions. It is so hard to make a appointment or change the time, and the shampoo chair was very uncomfortable. You guys should finitely work on that
I feel like I have giving a lot of high rating, that’s because I Unilocal to find a nice place, and most of them ended up very satisfying.

Aut is the best! She is a true artist not just a hair dresser… She really listens to your needs and make it even better than you expect. My hair is very hard to deal with (it is very thick and there is a lot it use to be long got a shorter haircut with Aut who did an incredible job. Would definitely recommend it. The place itself is also very nice.

This is an amazing hair salon! A hidden gem in chelsea. I visited twice so far for color. I saw Carlos and yesterday Oscar. They are both excellent! Oscar really did an overhaul on my hair and it looks fantastic. He covered gray, fixed the brassy tone, and added beautiful highlights. If you want ash he is your man!

Carlos is absolutely awesome! So happy I finally found someone who knows how to cut fine hair. One of the best hair cuts I’ve ever had, and I’ve been ALL over the city.

Oscar is by far the best, and most talented colorist I’ve ever worked with. He goes above and beyond for his clients. He listens to what you’re looking for and asks the right questions. He’s genuine and honest in his consultations and has your best interest at heart. His love and passion for styling/​coloring hair shines through in his work. I highly recommend him.
The Chris Chase Salon experience as a whole is top notch. The receptionists are friendly and helpful. The camaraderie among stylists keeps the atmosphere light and fun. The interior is clean, modern and luxurious. If you’re new to the city or in the market for a new colorist, please consider Oscar and Chris Chase Salon!

I decided to check out Chris Chase after a friend of mine recommended me to see Oscar. After seeing that she had some amazing color work done, I came into the salon to see him and I have to say that he’s indeed amazing at color!
I wasn’t sure exactly what I wanted but I knew that I needed a change. I discussed some ideas with him and we decided to go with one of his recommendations. The results came out better than I could’ve ever expected and it was exactly what I was looking for. My color and highlights came out beautiful. Aside from that, he also gave me advice on how to keep my hair looking great and healthy.
The salon also provides great service and everyone is super friendly.
If you’re looking for some of the best color work in the city, you have to see Oscar. He’s a true professional.

If you are a blond, you MUST go see DAN! Dan is more than a hair stylist, he’s a personal trainer for hair! My hair has never been in better shape… both in terms of the quality of my color and health. The steps that he takes to make me the perfect blond, I have never seen before. The man has a serious process, takes pride in his craft, and it really shows. I get compliments on my hair left and right. I even got asked the other day if I got extensions because the person said it looked too perfect to be real hair! I have a weird thing with my bangs needing to be juuuuust right and Dan takes several extra minutes on just that part to appease me. :) I’ve had my hair done all over LA, NY and even France and trust me when I tell you that Dan is the best, hands down.

Oscar is a genius when it comes to hair color.
I’m the annoying person who walks into salons with a vague idea of what I want, but mostly all I can say is «make me pretty!’ Oscar listened to me describe the ombré I wanted, but he kept it real with his advice on what would be the most flattering based off of the way I style my hair, steering me away from a potentially awful look.
He went through pictures with me, and when we finally decided on one, he knew exactly how to bring my hair up to the blonde I wanted with the cooler tone that I like.
Despite all the bleach that was necessary (my hair is very dark brown), my hair somehow looks and feels healthier after leaving the salon.
I have trust issues when it comes to people doing my hair, but I literally can’t recommend Oscar enough.
Not to mention, the full Chris Chase experience is luxurious in the best way. The interior is beyond beautiful, the receptionists are super sweet, they always take care of you by offering beverages or bringing you magazines while you wait for your hair to process, and the stylists make for great conversation!

I have been going to Chris Chase Salon for over 2 years now, and cannot imagine going anywhere else for cut/​color. Jenna has been my saving grace for coloring and most recently keratin treatment. She is an incredible listener, great insight and a true professional all the way the around. David has given me some of the best cuts this past year and have found his true dedication towards his clients an incredible gift. Most recently he gave me the best cut (3 inches) into the cutest summer, and much needed change.
The overall atmosphere at CCS is one of professional meets relaxed and welcoming. A wonderful dichotomy especially in Manhattan and Chelsea where I have lived for over 15 years.

This review is for Carlos Gonzales. I have always felt dissatisfied with my hair — until I found Carlos. He really has made such a difference for me both with cut and color. He is the first stylist that I feel has really made a point to truly understand what I am looking for — he takes his time to ask questions and is very thorough. He really cares to follow through on what it is that you want and he does an excellent job every time. I have never been unhappy and truly trust his guidance. Carlos is extremely skilled as a stylist, has a lot of experience, and seems to love what he does in a very genuine way. On top of this — he is very kind and a pleasure to sit and talk with while he is performing his magic. I cannot recommend him enough.

I met Carlos Gonzales when I lived in Los Angeles over 10 years ago. He was the first hair stylist that not only gave me the cut I wanted and also made me look good. For me a look that is primarily low maintenance and with layers. I appreciated that he always gave his feedback/​opinion on the type of style or look I wanted and what could be done to contour the look so it would frame my face. He would always offer ideas on how to quickly style my hair and maintain the look at home. He was never pushy with products, which was greatly appreciated.
In the time I was in Los Angeles, I would seek Carlos to wherever salon he was styling. And even if I tried another stylist, I would come back to him and he knew just what to do.
When my mom was in Los Angeles, Carlos would cut and color her hair. She was always happy with the cut, color & styling plus great conversations she would have with him.
We are back in NYC and excited to see Carlos & have him cut & style our hair again.

Hooray for Carlos! I’ve been coming to Chris Chase since 2010. Used to see Alyn and when he moved To LA I started to see Carlos. Love Carlos! I especially love that he does both cut and color and does them exceptionally well. I always get compliments on my hair which is fun and testimony to his skills. The salon is also pretty laid back with minimal drama which is always a plus!

Addicted to Carlos.
After my first visit I was hooked. My cut and color has never been better.
Carlos is such a wonderful person and I love that his vision evolves and he thinks of new ways my hair will work. My hair is not easy and Carlos makes it effortless.
Best hair experience ever. Run don’t walk to book Carlos.

My hair is dark brown, thick, confused, damaged and I have lots of it! So, I would always go for an over all lighter look. (Highlights and layered look) I’ve been to several salons and left looking like I had green hair.(I didnt ask to look like the Grinch, not cute) Oscar, from Chris Chase. changed my life completely! He found the perfect formula to color my hair, highlights and toner. He handled my hair with so much care and shared his expertise on how to handle my mane. Not only products from the salon but products outside of the salon. Which says alot! Hes not about making a sale. He actually cares about your hair. Oscar is punctual and over all an awesome stylist (which is hard to find) did I mention that Im from CT. so yes, I travel about 1 hour just for Oscar.
Btw, I need to mention this salón is pretty awesome. everyone is very kind and professional. Prices are reasonable for the love that’s put into your hair. Give it a try: D

Really enjoy my time at Chris Chase salon. They serve you tea, wine champagne and it just feels like a Blow Dry bar. I go to Jermiah and have been following him from Aveda and I have always loved my cuts and my highlights. He also gives me great voluminous blow outs!

Leonard is my go to guy whenever I’m in need of a cut. Simply put, the guy is just ridiculously good behind the chair. I’ve been going to Leonard for over a year now, and each time he consistently amazes me with what he does!
The excellent service at Chris Chase Salon is also noteworthy. From start to finish, the staff is friendly and hospitable. Not to mention the salon itself is gorgeous.
Thankful for Leonard and Chris Chase Salon!

A beautiful salon with a sleek posh ambience. The reception was great w a warm greeting and nice smile. Not the typical «fu face» you get at salons. The assistant was super nice and kind and she washed my hair with a gentle touch
that made me want to fall asleep! I had Jeremiah and he was brilliant. He read my
Mind and knew exactly what I wanted. He is the perfect balance of great company! We talked a lot, but we didn’t have to have a 45 minute on going conversation either. I like to reflect and chill and feel comfortable and that is exactly how I felt! He is wonderful and I will def. be back!
