Best Beauty Salons In Cohoes

“Salon Harmony West is located on N. Mohawk St. in the he updated Harmony Mill area of Cohoes. As you walk up the stairs you'll notice the seasonal garden flanked by flowers. When you walk into the Salon the atmosphere is welcoming and there is always a smile to greet you. I love my hair stylist Alison Lyons and Salon Harmony West.“

“Have been going since i was a kid. Tried out other people for hair coloring and wasn’t impressed. Casey is the best. Especially with blondes! ThanksServices: Hairstyling“

“First time at Shelly's cut and style. She listened while I explained what I wanted, made suggestions (which I accepted), and did a good job.

Pro's:
10 minute walk from my apartment. In my first visit, it took only an hour for a haircut from leaving my house to returning home. To be fair, I was the only customer in the salon at the time.

Good listener. Does what you ask, while trying to improve upon what you want.

The price is reasonable, a few dollars more than Supercuts at $28.

Cons:
She's the ONLY stylist, which means every time the phone rings, she has to stop cutting your hair to answer it. I imagine this also affects waiting time quite a bit if she's running behind, but we'll see.

Doesn't take credit cards, which I was shocked. Thankfully, I had enough cash on me, but I don't know what I would have done if I didn't.

Overall, I am satisfied enough to go back, despite the inconvenience of always making sure I have cash on me (I rely heavily on my debit card and usually have very little money on me). And while my time might sometimes be affected by Shelly being the only stylist, I imagine it still has to be less time than the 3 hours roundtrip by bus it takes me to get to Supercuts in Latham and back. Lastly, my haircut was good enough to warrant a repeat visit, and I'm happy to stay local, if I can.

Requested style: I asked for a short layer cut, but the way I described it, she said it would actually be a man's cut. She added some feminine touches like leaving the "sideburns" longer than I normally would like, and tapering the back (I asked for a round/oval shape for the bottom, because I don't like "wispy", and she complied).“
