Autumn Sun This is THE go to beauty supply store. Everytime I go they have what I need & I discover new stuff. Love this spot!!

Ava Monroe Did they sell this Establishment ?it used to be run by a beautiful African woman and Asian man now it’s rude and Nasty Guyanese women Beware major attitudes so sad hate to take my business elsewhere been a loyal customer for years from Poughkeepsie store to Schenectady

Christopher Vargas I didn’t catch her name but she was very helpful and kind and she was always smiling, but she helped me with finding products for my daughters curly hair. Thank you so much….. oh and i noticed that it is freezing in there definitely wanna check that out

Sarah Bailey I love the cleanliness and quality of the products in the store. I was here and the these 2 very beautiful young ladies were so knowledgeable and helpful…. Thank you!! I WILL BE BACK!!!

LaMaine Kent I just recently moved from PA and was searching for a beauty supply store.. Thank God i found Jaeda!! They have sooo much variety and the ladies were super nice. It is a little crowded on one side but you cant complain because of all of the selection!! Prices are good and their selection of human hair wigs was outstanding!! The wig I purchased was just put up on display and was the ONLY one they had. I found my NY beauty supply store today.

Marina Gordievich This is a great salon with Aveda products. It’s been a struggle to find a very good hairdresser since I moved here 15 years ago, until I met Christine. She knows exactly what I want every time I come in and I always leave my hair appointment feeling and looking beautiful. Christine’s salon one of the best little gems in the area. I recommend it to anyone who wants a great service, natural products and reasonable prices.

Peter Caschera Very classy lady, very eclectic place, cool gypsy-like jewelry.

Svetlana Piatkine She is the best hairdresser since then. She cuts my hair like Im getting happier every moth and year.

Suzanne Unger After moving here, I looked for a good pedicure for two years until I finally found Christine! She has been doing my pedicures now for three years and I couldn’t be happier. Aveda products are wonderful and I can also recommend Christine ‘s facials.

Benish Zahira I have been going to Christine for 8 years now and I still remember the first time I went in for hair consultation. She looked at my hair, told me exactly what she was going to do and even told me about the result. I was scared because in the past I have tried many hairdressers, and they messed up my hair. But I am glad I went to Christine because not only she fixed my hair, she gave me the haircut I wanted. It amazed me how a lot of hair dressers dont know what to cut hair in layers but Christine knew the look I was going for. She saved my hair, and I call her my hair doctor :) . I would recommend her to everyone I know because I know she does an amazing job :)

Patrick Wolfe They are always polite and professional. The students always have supervision. Ive been going there for quite a while and will continue to do so. $5 mens haircuts on Thursday and I always give the student a $5 tip

Chris Benjamin The atmosphere and the professionalism and the knowledge of the staff at Paul Mitchell focus salon is a perfect 5 star if you want the best you must try it for yourself to believe it God bless Francesco Perillo for opening up two locations wish you nothing but the best in all good things please take my advice everybody if you want the best and hair care go see Francesco Perillo and his staff at the two locations of Paul Mitchell focus salons.

Amy Leigh Me and my boyfriend made an appt with Frank after seeing the good reviews online. And I was very disappointed .We showed him pictures of what we wanted and he wasnt able to do what we asked for. I went to another stylist to get my hair fixed!! And they were shocked how badly my hair was cut .And he charged me 35 dollars for just mine. And I let him know it was not what I wanted. My bf hair was just as bad. It wasnt blended right and not even close to what I showed him we wanted. And I paid 60 dollars! Very disappointing...

Vivian Elon is the absolute best! She takes her time, is methodical when cutting your hair, and takes pride in her work. Shes not scissor-happy because she actually knows what shes doing with "our" hair type. I will never let anyone else touch my hair other than her.

Heather G Ive really neglected getting my hair cut and was way overdue. I made an appointment with with this salon, and am very happy. The layers complement my curls whether I style my hair or leave it natural. Its very hard to find someone that knows how to cut curls, but Francesco knows what hes doing. I enjoyed my visit as he was also very likable and personable.

Nancy Koziol WOW. Ive recently started my curly-hair journey after a lifetime (nearly 50 years) of using heated styling tools. While Ive been having fairly good luck with it, every time I got a cut it felt like my hair took a few steps back. I greatly appreciate people who truly know what theyre doing and have a niche. Thats what you can expect at Moisture Salon. After arriving and being greeted, Brooke Irina took me on a JOURNEY. Not only was she very good at explaining things to me and showing me all the steps on the way, but she was also really fun. Im someone who likes to CHAT during a salon visit and she is friendly, interesting and really funny. We had a great time. Since my first appointment my hair has looked better with more even curls and the products she recommended have definitely made it healthier. Im looking forward to going back in 6 months for a check in and trim and to get feedback on how Im holding up doing this on my own. Absolutely worth the trip to Schenectady!

Donna Lamkin Wow! I recently received a phenomenal cut and coaching session with Ron, the owner. From the minute I entered the salon, I knew I was somewhere special. Two beautiful curly-haired dogs greeted me, making me feel instantly welcome and at ease. I love the salon -- it is peaceful and cozy. Ron and I had a great conversation about my hair and what I could expect. He was extremely attentive and responsive, educating me on the best ways to hydrate and nourish my curls, without any pressure to purchase products. I left the salon with an amazing cut and style -- and the best part is that I can replicate the results when I style it myself! This is definitely my new salon -- so thankful it was recommended to me. Ron thank you for sharing your talents with the curly-haired community!

Valarie Castora Best part of this salon: I learned about Innersense products! The rest was terrible. From the haircut, hairstyle, styling techniques, care protocol … to the condescending, disrespectful attitude of the owner/stylist. He can be downright mean and nasty. It’s taken a few years and now have a new stylist in a different salon. I finally have frizz-free, bouncy, springy curls … a far cry from the frizzy, lifeless wave I had using Moisture Salon techniques. It was expensive, disappointing and life is hard enough without the owner/stylist at Moisture Salon being downright mean. Avoid this place if possible!

Louisa Bee Terrible experience at Moisture Salon. My mom and I were 12 minutes late, ( we did call and he did not respond! ) and the stylist was immediately rude and dismissive—not just to me, but to my mom as well. He refused to cut my hair, claiming he couldn’t see my ‘natural curl pattern,’ even though my kinky hair was out in its natural state. I’m only 14, and his condescending attitude left me feeling humiliated and nearly in tears. To make matters worse, he charged my mom $80 for absolutely nothing. He was also upset that we didn’t use his products, as if that somehow justified his rude behavior. What’s shocking is that this isn’t new—there are reviews going back seven years about his terrible attitude. Instead of improving, he writes rude, dismissive replies blaming clients for his unprofessionalism. This isn’t just bad service—it’s a long-standing pattern of disrespect that he refuses to address. Do yourself a favor and avoid this place entirely.

Christine Munoz If you have curly hair and the just thought of getting a cut gives you anxiety, I recommend an appointment here. Ron not only takes the time to trim and shape the hair specifically for what suits you, he also gives a lesson in care and maintenance. The staff are all friendly and welcoming and it’s clear that they care very much about the work that they’re doing. Following my first appointment, I’ve been able to style and care for my hair with ease. It’s well worth the cost and the wait for an appointment.

Renee Durbin I had a fantastic experience, everyone there was so nice. I went in knowing nothing about wigs they helped me find one I’m absolutely in love with and taught me how to put it in. The ladies who helped me showed so much kindness and patience and turned a situation I was really dreading into a very positive experience. I also briefly met who I assume to be the owner and he was very kind as well. I’ll definitely be going back for anything I need in the future but I would recommend this place to anyone. They had a good selection but the kindness they showed meant so much. The wig they helped me with was gorgeous and I felt like a new person walking out of there. All around just an awesome experience.

Ivellisse Ruiz Love this place they always have what Im looking for... My hair came out beautiful

Kisha Kelso I love this store. My daughter and I recently discovered this store and its great. Its so clean and well organized and well priced. And they have everything you need here and customer service is excellent. 2 thumbs up for sure. I highly recommend this store.

B Cla Appalling service today. Will not be returning to this store. Store closes 45mins earlier than posted time on a regular basis. Poor customer service

Ashlee Bby Honestly I’m not the type to leave negative reviews but being as I’ve been a customer for a while I’m disappointed. I had picked out a human hair lace front , get home and see I was giving a totally different wig from what I picked out. No biggie, I called the store (I had just left about 15 mins ago) asking if I could bring it back to get what I actually picked out and was met with attitude and dismissal. I explained that it was still in the package , tags , literally just left. They acknowledged that I just left and told me oh well all sales are final and he wasn’t going to do anything. I wasn’t rude or combative. I spend a lot of money in that store being as I’m a stylist with my own business. I would never treat client like that and now I’m left with an ugly 8inch curly bob that I did not want and can not use. The way I was talked to was very rude and I will no longer send any business or spend any money with them. It’s a shame because they’re one of the cleaner beauty stores in the area.

Deb Winters I always use this studio for my entire family. Always clean and friendly staff. Dory cut and styled my very long hair today and it came out so beautiful. She is highly experienced and extremely personable. I would highly recommend Dory and this studio.

Kelly Lavoy Love Amanda. Staff are friendly and supportive of each other. Prices are great. I got my hair bleached with foils because I had natural hair with no previous hair dye. Amanda also listens and didnt cut my hair short while factoring in the health of my hair then recommended a spray in conditioner then a leave in conditioner. Shes now my new hair stylist. Love her.

Lynnli B Great place. Clean,Friendly environment and staff was very knowledgeable. I Love Kayla ! Shes awesome and talented. This is the second time she has done my hair this year and it came out fantastic. Im very happy with the results. I would recommend this salon and most definitely her, to anyone.

Frank Curcio Chloe did a fantastic job! Its the best haircut Ive had in a long time. She took her time with great care to detail.

Renee Edwards Walked in to get my daughters hair cut today and had the pleasure of working with Chloe! Chloe was so sweet and really great with my 5 year old daughter. My daughters hair came out looking absolutely adorable and was exactly what she asked for!! We will definitely return in the future!!

Nita Marrero Love my hair ! Always bring me back to life ! Valentina is so great at what she does .

Zhane Smith Ive been getting my hair done by valentina since the age of 9 years old(25 now) shes truly a gem , Always happy when I leave

Ms brown I love coming here to get my hair done it always comes out great! She takes her time with my hair and doesn’t rush, she makes sure you leave with your hair looking nice. I also bring my daughter here from time to time (my daughter have natural shoulder length hair)and she does her hair great as well. Her shop is clean and FYI she no longer takes debit or credit cards for payment so make sure you bring cash. I have no complaints with this beauty salon great experience all the time. Update: I’ve been going to her for quite some time and I’ve always loved the results of my hair. But as of late the quality isn’t as great as it use to be. My hair doesn’t have the look like I just left the salon. I hope the quality of work gets better because I really enjoy going to her. She’s such a nice person and keeps her shop clean and I appreciate if you have the pleasure of getting there when she opens up she says a prayer before she gets started. She does take cash app as a form of payment if you don’t carry cash.
