Parlor

I’ve been going to Giovanna for a little over a year now and couldn’t be happier. I switched salons after my former stylist moved, and I was super nervous, as I’m very fussy about my blonde color. Giovanna does a phenomenal job, she’s super thorough and perfectionistic with regard to both the color and cut, which I really appreciate. I have gotten TONS of compliments on the cut she gave me. She’s also hilarious and fun and makes you feel 100% welcome and comfortable. Everyone else at the salon is great too – it has a very laid back vibe, totally unpretentious. Scheduling is always easy and accommodating – I really couldn’t be more pleased!

This place is amazing. I’ve been in twice after making the same erratic choice to try trimming my own pixie. Giovanna has fixed it beautifully both times, and I always walk out feeling like myself again. She’s achieved the pixie style I’ve been looking for since I originally cut it 6 months ago, and after trying several different salons I finally found a place that got it all sorts of right!
The vibe is also super warm, I got great shopping recs in the area from two people at the front desk. Plus the music is on point, which always helps :)
Overall, highly recommend!

Got a haircut and color by Giovanna the other day and love it! I have really thick hair that is difficult to cut and Giovanna always makes it look so good! My color also looks really natural, which I like, because I only color my hair to cover the grays that have started peeking out. I also like that the color doesn’t make my hair feel hard afterward, like at some other salons I have been too. Giovanna is super sweet and personable, and so are the people who work there! The salon is clean, cute, and fun but professional. Highly recommend!

big fan of the service, the place and the blow out! i will absolutely be back

After living in New York for three years, bouncing from salon to salon in search of the perfect fit I know I have found it in Parlor! My stylist was Giovanna, who was very talented and a pleasure to talk to. The first time I went to her I needed a color correction. She was very patient listening to my concerns and ideas. I was impressed with how knowledgeable she was with color. Most of all her desire to please me. Some stylists just want to do what they think is right. Giovanna heard my needs and addressed my concerns. After coloring my hair since I was 16 I finally have a color that suits me. I’ve been told by friends and family that this is the best my hair has ever looked. I wake up everyday and I love my hair!
In addition, the salon is stylish and pristine but it doesn’t have a prestigious or uppity feel. Everyone who works there is very friendly and nice. The salon offers a lot of complimentary treatments and samples.
My favorite offer from Parlor is their point system. The more money you spend the more points you gain leading to various gifts or freebies.

I came here based on searching Unilocal.I was beyond happy with the services! I went to Kevin and he completely understood what I wanted in terms of color and did a beautiful job of blending the previously heavy highlights for a more natural look. He definitely knows how to do blond well without causing damage.
I left the cut up to him but asked him to keep it long and he gave me the best cut I’ve had in a long time. I’ve gotten so many compliments on the cut and color since I was in. I will definitely be going back and might even defer to him entirely on the color as well next time.
On top of that, I was shocked at how affordable it was and the salon itself is gorgeous.
I’ve already referred anyone who will listen to go see Kevin. I just hope his prices don’t change because I’d be so sad if I couldn’t afford him again.

Have been coming here for years and the new kid on the block, Kevin, is superb and an amazing stylist (his shampoos are to die for).

I’ve been going to Amanda for about a year now and she’s the only one I trust with my hair. My last haircut I decided to cut off over a foot of my hair and she did such a great job. I get compliments all the time! I definitely recommend her and this salon. Everyone who works here is very friendly. They also give you a head massage when they wash your hair!

So I wanted to dye my hair for the first time. I was really scared. I went and spoke with Megan. She is amazing. She understood what I wanted before I can even explain it. I did an ombré look. It looks so great blended really well. She is a good listener and a kind person. My hair looks perfect my husband and coworkers love my hair. I happy I went to her for a first time hair dye. MEGAN IS AWESOME.

This is a special and wonderful salon. I went into the salon and had an appointment to have a haircut with Giovanna. It was one the rare days I was having an especially good hair day. I was reluctant to get my hair cut because it looked so good that day.
Giovanna sat with me and talked for over 15 minutes and she and I fell in love. She was
honest and kind enough to suggest I wait a few weeks and then came in. I thought
that was AMAZING… her honesty was really appreciated. She made some suggestions on how to take care of my hair that really helped.
I can’t wait to go back into the salon and have Giovanna cut my hair. I’ve been looking all my life for a haircutter I can work with, trust and someone who understands and respects what I want.
THANK YOU GIOVANNA. You’ll be seeking me very soon.

I love Parlor! If you’re looking for a new salon, Parlor is great. Amanda is amazing. The staff has always been super friendly and I don’t have a single complaint (other than maybe the cost, but hey, that’s everywhere).

It was nice and cozy. Amanda was great!

went to Parlor in the E.V. and Berto gave me the best haircut I’ve ever had. He totally listened, gave great input, and I am over the moon. Plus, the salon space is lovely and actually, from the very first reservation phone call, it’s been great.

If you’re looking for a new salon, this is a good one. It’s hip without being too hipster. Stylish, comfortable, and most importantly, the stylists do good work. Prices are reasonable. I pay about 220 for a cut and highlights and i have long hair. Megan is awesome. I went to her when i was tired of my previous stylist who didn’t listen to me and just made my hair orange. Megan listens to what you want, and gives you several options, explaining all the details. I’ll definitely keep going back.
P. s. all the aveda products are the icing on the cake.

Megan is awesome and super nice. She does a great job and listens to what you ask for. The décor is really kitschy and cute as well! And the Aveda products top it off! Highly recommend this place.

I moved uptown for 2 years and tried a few salons on the UWS because it was hard for me to get to the East Village as a new working mom. They were OK, but definitely NOT as special as Parlor.
I’m back in the neighborhood now (yay!) and back to Parlor. Giovanna welcomed me back with a hug and her signature 1000-​watt smile, and I got another GREAT haircut — and this time, some color to cover a few new mom grays — I’m thrilled with how it turned out, and will definitely be a regular once again!

Their education days can’t be beat.
Always fantastic, knowledgable, and talented staff that get the cut and color right.
This is one of the best hair salons in NYC, highly recommended!

Came to this Aveda salon to save my very damaged hair after a disastrous Brazilian Blowout at another salon. Amanda worked her magic and my trashy double process bleach blonde hair is whiter than ever and healthier to boot. No judgments, just solutions. My new salon home. Go to Amanda if you love color and it sometimes doesn’t love you back.

My stylist Jean (who was a student through Parlor’s Education Days program) was friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure we both understood exactly what I wanted done. She did a fantastic job with a full head of light blonde foils and a haircut with an angle in front, and the owner Gwenn personally checked in at a few points to make sure everything was going well. The process did take four and a half hours, but I wouldn’t have expected otherwise given that it’s a training program and I asked for a labor-​intensive service to be performed on very long hair. Plus, the salon has such a fun vintage-​chic vibe that I was pretty content to spend the afternoon there!

Giovanna is as good as it gets!!! I’ve tried sooo many different stylists over the years and finally found Giovanna by doing a google search! True to her amazing reviews… she’s been nothing but exceptional! She’s been cutting my hair for several years now and I’ve never been complimented so much! I have long thicker hair that I get cut in layers. Giovanna is amazing and worth every penny!!!
I’ve had about 7 friends get their hair cut with her and have even been stopped on the streets by women asking where I get my hair cut!!! I’d recommend her to everyone!!!
