“Not over exaggerating when I say this place changed my life! I never knew how to style, wear, or maintain my curls until I visited Foster Glorioso. Michael is truly an expert and is so thoughtful and compassionate towards his clients. The salon itself is a very warm and welcoming environment with lovely staff that I always look forward to seeing.”

“Michael is truly the only person I trust to cut my hair. He does a fantastic job every time and I can rely on him to make sure my curls are well cared for. To reiterate, if you are a curly haired person do not hesitate to book an appointment with Michael he will not disappoint!”

“Amazing salon! Everyone is so kind and friendly, and this is the best my hair has ever looked and felt. I couldn’t recommend more. I wish it was possible to give more than five stars. Definitely will be coming back again and again!”

“Michael and his salon are amazing!!! He is so kind and thoughtful, and takes time to ensure he understands what you’re looking for while also giving you advice so you look fabulous. Been going to him for a few years and won’t go anywhere else.”

“I have been coming to Foster Grlorioso for at least 10 years. I moved out of NY to Boston 5 years ago, and I still keep coming back to Michael Glorioso (he is a hair wizard) a couple of times a year. Sometimes when you break up with someone you keep comparing your new partner with your ex, and unfortunately or fortunately I keep comparing all hair stylists to Michael. He is incredibly talented, with a great sense of style and is true artist. What I also love about him he knows exactly what you need and what will look good on you. I can just tell him do whatever you want with my hair, and I know he will make me look fabulous.”

“I’ve been coming to this salon for over 5 years and the stylists do incredible work! It has a very boutique, personalized vibe, which makes you feel like you’re getting extra special treatment at every appointment. Michael is a genius at color and does an amazing job with reds. Everyone here is so friendly and professional, I never have issues with appointment times or preferences. They also do a great job with Covid protocols so they’re super clean. I’m so happy to have found this salon because I always leave here with a perfect style and an unforgettable experience!”

“Judy is absolutely the best stylist for my curly hair.”

“I went with my best friend this past weekend and we had a great time! Such friendly staff and we both loved our new hair. We felt comfortable, cared for, and would definitely recommend anyone to try them out. You won’t be disappointed! We got highlights and balayage (both things both of us had never tried) and it came out beautiful! I have straight hair and my friend has curly hair they do it all so great here.”

“It isn't often that you find someone in the beauty/hair industry that listens and has the expertise to follow through. Michael does just that...easily, beautifully, artistically. Well done Michael! Bravo!”

“I’m usually deeply afraid of beauty salons, I usually feel I’m not the right fit, cause I don’t do enough for my hair or face or because the approach to beauty where everything is overdone or needs to be a certain way doesn’t fit my way of thinking or approaching life, despite this, Michael provided a human and kind approach to me, he made me feel at home and spoke to me in a true and compassionate way. His expertises on hair left me with an honest idea or how to care for my hair by respecting my point of view and my own decisions, he never pushed me or made me change my style, he was supportive and very professional. I would definitely recommend the salon’s service, they know how to take care of hair and how to approach real people! Thank you for my experience! I’ll definitely come back again.”

“Curly-haired folks - you need to visit Michael and his team ASAP!!! They do it all, they do it superbly, and faster than you've ever seen. They do curly styles and cuts, they'll style it straight and cut it straight. I go to Michael (the owner) himself and he is nothing should of genius. I have incredibly curly, kinky hair - Michael shampoos, blow dries, straightens, and cuts in 25 minutes. My last record holder was an hour 15, for reference. Not to mention it's silky smooth. styled well, and cut to perfection. Come here! They're worth every penny. My long search for a hair salon that can handle my curls and cut them well is finally over!”

“From the minute I entered the salon to the minute I left, staff was super friendly, courteous, and attentive. Michael truly made me feel comfortable, was knowledgeable, and had great suggestions to help restore my hair from the damage of color. I walked out feeling confident and happy with my hair! The best experience I’ve ever had!”

“Judy R has been my stylist for years and I hope she never leaves the city! Followed her from her last salon and I like the clean, quiet vibe of FG.”

“I have been coming to this salon for about five years. This review is long overdue. Hands down my hair has never looked so good. My curls are hard to manage and Michael just get it right every time. I love this place so much. Everyone should treat themselves to a good curly cut.”

“Foster Glorioso has always been my go-to hair salon. Michael is a hair magician! Love him, highly recommend. They didn’t disappoint today when I went in, they completely redid all salon protocols to ensure I felt safe and comfortable. Signed a waiver before coming in for my appointment, checked my temperature upon entering the salon. They had a barrier set up at the reception desk, everyone was wearing masks the entire time I was in the salon. They also gave me a new mask to wear and sanitizer pack. Hand sanitizer everywhere. I am so thankful to have a great new haircut and highlights. Thank you Michael and FG team!”

“After the stylist who had been cutting my hair for 9 years left NYC, I was in need of a new salon, and after searching all over the city, I finally ended up booking an apt. with Michael here. A year and a half later, I’m still going back every month, and he continues to do amazing work!”

“I was there today and I had the best experience. Everyone was extremely nice and Sharifa did my hair and was amazing. She very informative about my hair and what I can do to better it and keep it healthier. Very clean place and clean products. I’m so in love with my hair cut and style. What I enjoyed the most is that they don’t push you to buy their products. They are there if you want them. I think that if your looking for a high quality haircut or any kind of style definitely go to them.”

“Michael and the entire staff at Foster Glorioso are top notch. Everytime I walk into the salon, I feel so taken care of and I always leave with a fabulous look.”

“Judy has been styling me with fabulous cuts for decades now! Judy has great energy + always perfects a look that provides an extra boost of confidence + lots of smiles!”

“I have been coming to this salon for six years. Michael is my guy!! My color is always perfect. I have been to other places before I came here and no one gets my hair like michael does. I love this salon. The people are so friendly and professional. Everything is always spotless just the way it should be. I would never go anywhere else.”

“Michael always performs his work with finesse and with his heart. He is skilled and confident and works with his clients so individually. Michael always makes it a great experience in the salon. Everytime I come he makes me feel so welcome and tended to. A hair salon is a woman's very personal space so for me, Michael has made the experience 100 percent positive. You get what you pay for at Foster Glorioso!”

“I had a wonderful experience here with Sharifa! I initially went to the salon because I purchased the introductory offer and I'm so happy I did because the service was excellent—it's clear that these hair artists really know what they're doing! I wound up doing a full balayage which cost more $$ than what's included in the intro offer but it's what I wanted and I'm so so happy that I did it! It looks gorgeous. I will definitely be going back to Sharifa when I need my hair done again.”

“Normally I wouldn't be able to afford a fancy salon like this, but I went on a promotion and it was lovely! The gentleman who styled my hair, Michael, was very sweet and cut an excellent bob!”

“I had promo with Oksana. I was worried to come as I've read couple of bad reviews for particularly her services. I was pleasantly surprised. I have under butt length hair and I am always careful whom I let to trim my hair. And she did very good job. Everything was carefully discussed prior so there were no surprises and I am very appreciative for it.”

“I have been going to here for almost a year and my hair is at its finest. Michael is the best, his best interest is to keep hair healthy and looking fabulous. Plus, everyone else is always nice and welcoming. Highly recommend.”
