What Sets the Complexions Hair Salon Team Apart From All the Rest?

  • Hair Consultations That Make Listening the Priority
    At Complexions we believe that communication skills are critical to the success of your final hair cut. A stylist that can clearly understand and consistently articulate your hair expectations and vision is a stylist that can not only meet, but exceed expectations.
  • New York City Ability & Skill at Albany, New York Prices
    Complexions stylists have worked and trained in many of Manhattan's finest, most fashion-forward salons. Be it Bumble & Bumble, Arrojo Studios, or Tony & Guy, what separates all great salons from the rest is a dedication to education, a focus on training and a commitment to one's clients. At Complexions, we couldn't agree more which is why we invest so heavily in education.

What people just like you are saying about Complexions Salon:

I just wanted to say how AMAZING Melanie is. I came in today with a "bang issue" on a wig and she hit it out of the ball park. Cutting a wig is difficult and won't grow back (so messing up is not an option)- she took her time, really took a look at what would work with the wig and my face. I can't thank her enough. She not only exceeded my expectations but really listened to what I had to say. I love my wig even more now and it is because of her. She is such a gem. Thank you!

Anna K, Complexions Client

The staff is very professional, and I felt comfortable in the atmosphere. I LOVE my haircut, and my husband and son did as well when I walked in the door~ so that is a great thing. I waited five months between haircuts because of a bad experience, and I won't be doing that again. I'm glad I found this place...I will be back to enjoy some of the other services your spa has to offer! Oh, and the online appointment option is fantastic!‎

This new salon on Wolf road is a calm peaceful and beautiful spa. Very professional and such a nice change from the chaos of Kimberly's or Jean Paul. The Decor looks like a high end spa in NY or Chicago. and its a Green building. Highly recommend.

Dan G, InsiderPages.com

I have curly hair and so I am super picky about who does my hair. I went in last month and the woman was amazing. She knew about my hair type, my coloring, and new product to adjust to living in a new climate. I would continue to go back.

Roslyn F, Insiderpages.com

I recently had a terrible highlight job that I needed to get fixed. I had booked an appointment at Jean Paul but decided to cancel it after talking to my boss who had gotten her hair done there and was thoroughly disappointed. I went to Complexions and got my hair fixed beautifully. I was so impressed with everything from the totally eco friendly salon to the wonderful service and the quality of my hair cut! My only regret is that I didn't have more time to enjoy the spa...oh well next time :) BE SURE TO GET THE 20% OFF YOUR FIRST VISIT COUPON (click on the coupon link under the listing)
