Okay, so I finally checked out that fancy Oscar Blandi Salon in New York City. You know, the one all the celebs supposedly go to? Yeah, that one. I’d been eyeing it for a while, and I figured, why not treat myself?

So, I booked an appointment online. Their website was pretty easy to use, nothing too complicated. They’ve got all their services listed out, from haircuts to coloring and even manicures and pedicures. I just went for a haircut this time, maybe I’ll try the other stuff later.
When I got there, the salon was all fancy-looking, just like you’d expect. It’s on Madison Ave, super swanky area. Everyone was really nice, though, not snobby or anything. They took my coat, offered me a drink. I’d say the staff was really friendly, made you feel welcome, you know?
- I went to the waiting area, which was pretty comfy.
- Didn’t have to wait too long before my stylist, called me over.
- She was great, listened to what I wanted, and gave me some suggestions too.
We chatted a bit about what kind of style I was going for. I told her I wanted something a little different, but nothing too crazy. She seemed to get it, which was a relief. Sometimes stylists just do whatever they want, right?
She washed my hair, which felt amazing. They use some really nice-smelling products, and gave me a little head massage, too. Then came the cut.
She was really careful and took her time, snipping away. You could tell she knew what she was doing. We chatted a bit more while she worked, it was all very relaxed and friendly.

When she was done, she styled my hair, and I have to say, I loved it! It was exactly what I had in mind, maybe even better. It’s probably one of the best haircuts I’ve ever had, seriously.
I paid, which was a bit more than what I usually spend on a haircut, but honestly, it was worth it. I felt like a million bucks walking out of there. I mean, I’m sure there are other good salons in the city, I saw a bunch of names on Yelp like The Bird House Salon, Art + Autonomy Salon, Fox & Jane Salon, and those seemed nice, too.
But, yeah, if you’re looking for a little luxury and a really good haircut, I’d say check out Oscar Blandi Salon. I might even go back there for some color next time. It is a good experience.
