Red Market Salon

If you like a quality experience, like me, Red Market is it. Step into this luxurious salon and get greeted by the coolest staff. Start your appointment with a complimentary rose (or two… maybe three). Get pampered like a celebrity by these professional artists, who are all extremely experienced and cater to every one of your bougie needs. Always step out into the city streets feeling and looking like a rockstar. There’s no other place that compares to the fabulous treatment you will receive at Red Market Salon. Thank you Red Market, you are my hair dream team for life!

I got balayage highlights done by Lionel here. My hair is a little over highlighted from the precious dye job I had and so I really needed Lionel to blend the highlights and try to tone down so that it looked more like highlights and less like an overall bleach job (gag). Lionel was truly an artist. As soon as I sat down he could see what I needed and was really precise about where he placed the highlights. I then went out of town and decided that I needed the highlights a little more at the roots and the salon was very accommodating at rescheduling me for the touch up. Lionel was great and was very patient when I came back in for a tweak and him and his assistant were super nice and accommodating. You really are in amazing hands with Lionel and the whole staff at Red Market. I really recommend Lionel for your color and balayage especially. Great experience.

I can’t say enough good things about Red Market Salon. They really are the best! The salon itself is beautiful and everyone working there is kind and accommodating. They take late appointments during the week which is so helpful with my work schedule.
I had balyage done by Lionel and LOVE IT. He did an amazing job making my hair significantly lighter but very natural looking. I’ve never received more compliments on my hair than after having it done at Red Market. This is now my go-​to salon in NYC!

First of all, this place opens late. I repeat– they open late. This is especially important since my job doesn’t permit me to leave before 9– a place that is good and opens late is just a true gem!!!
1– they got me in for same day color.
2– my colorist was Lionel and dude knows what he’s talking about. I freaked up my hair cause I did it at Chinatown. What a nightmare. I usually get it done at a Korean place in midtown but my person was out on maternity leave. So I decided to venture. What a big mistake. Anyways if only I found out about red market salon first… My hair wouldn’t go through so much pain. I went in, asked for something and Lionel gave me another suggestion, at first I was wary because the last time I gave full reign to someone they freaking bleached my hair without telling me. But Lionel was on point. Because I dyed my hair twice in two days, he didn’t ruin it more he glossed it which darkened the color just right to a beautiful brownish red AND got it super soft. LOVE IT.
3– the people were super nice. In person and on the phone. Thanks for being nice! It’s rare. Kept the service up!
So thanks to red market salon they fixed my botched hair. I’ll go back to get the color done and get a haircut! Woo!

Romain did wonders with my hair. Usually I don’t like non Asian people cutting my Asian hair but he understood it perfectly and gave me advice on what I want. I am from out of town and for a convention and I am glad I found this place. Merci!

Great space, loved my haircut

Hi, I usually don’t write the reviews, but is had to do it as they are AWESOME!!! I hade done the color correction, balayage, gloss and the blow dry by Anastasia. I can’t thank enough, for the amazing job she did with my hair! I came after a horrible over highlighted hair with dark roots, that looked horrible. I tried to fix it at Rita Hazan salon, which basically didn’t do anything as I still had yellow-​orange hair. Anastasia is WONDERFUL!!! she listens to your concerns and does exactly what you ask for. I had left with silky, multi-​dimensional dirty blonde hair color. By the way, my hair has different color in every lightning, which is a great plus. She is a master of the balayage as well. My hair has never looked that good. Thank you,
Anastasia!!!
The salon is very well managed, friendly, cozy and now this is my go to!!!

I decided to go to Red Market after two of my friends recommended the salon. I went in this past Saturday to get my roots done and highlights.
I left feeling very happy but, after a couple days went by, I realized that I wanted more highlights and wanted to go back. I called the salon, and they got me in that day. Reynald did an amazing job with the highlights and I could not be more happy with the results. Anthony blew my hair out both times and it was the by far the best blow out I have ever got.
What stood out to me the most, was when I went back, I thought I would have to pay extra for more highlights. Much to my surprise, they did not charge me. I think its awesome how professional they are and genuinely want all their customers to be 100% satisfied and are willing to make changes later on. It is a little pricey, but 100% worth every penny. I will definitely be going back — love this place!

My hair’s been mid-​back length for years so I’ve never gone anywhere except the crappy hair salons in Chinatown since they did a good enough job with my layers. In May, I decided to do a big chop and cut it just below shoulder-​length and get it colored — so I decided I needed to up my hair salon game and bought a Gilt City voucher to Red Market Salon.
Guillaume cut my hair — he was super attentive to what I wanted and did a great job! Lionel did my balayage and I absolutely loved how it turned out. I asked for warm caramel but subtle and not brassy and he nailed it! I’ve been going back to Guillaume for all my trims ever since and he always remembers me and how I like my hair cut and styled. This place is pricey but well worth it. Love this place!

Excellent atmosphere. I had Dave Rico cut my hair and my daughter’s hair today. He did a phenomenal job on both of us and was a pleasure to chat with. Each haircut was exactly what we wanted. I also enjoyed the glass of wine that they offered (a light white Burgundy). We will certainly will be back.

Love love love my hair cut and stylist Dave Rico! He did such a good job and was ridiculously fun!

I purchased a gilt coupon after I read some of the great reviews on here and I’m so happy I did. I’m always nervous when getting my hair colored as it never comes out quite like I want it to, but Lionel did a terrific job with the balayage highlights and my hair came out better than I expected. I then got a cut and blow dry from Romain and he also did a fantastic job. Overall, everyone was super friendly and talented and even though regular prices are totally out of my budget (as are most places in Manhattan), I’m going to save up so I can try to come back.

I decided to try a new salon after being an extremely loyal customer at one of the top salons in the city. Desiring a downtown vibe, I decided to try the Red Market Salon. Needless to say, that was a big mistake.
My experience at Red Market Salon is summarized below:
Pros:
The Color — Balayage was great. Lionel was a great communicator, explained the process, and did a wonderful job. I would go back to see him — hence the 2 stars.
Salon — Great vibe and welcoming feel.
Cons:
The Cut — I am shocked at the result of the haircut. It is like I entered bizarro world. Slade cut my hair. Everything I said he did the complete opposite. I am not sure how my request for long layers was interpreted as a short, blunt bob. After I noticed the cut was very blunt, I repeatedly asked for it to be fixed (add layers or texture). He looked confused — at this point I asked him to stop cutting because my long hair was now shoulder length. Additionally, he smelled like cigarettes and I had to go home to wash my hair (what I had remaining!) to get the smell out. Gross.
To make matters even more bizarre, a man (who I found out was one of the owners) stared at us during the entire process, yet did not come over when it was obvious I was upset. Simply a bad experience.
Appointment Confirmation — I never received a call to confirm my appointment. I called to double check the time the day of the appointment. The receptionist told me they don’t call to confirm, but send email confirmations. Which is fine, except they never requested an email address from me — just a telephone number.
Overall — PROCEED WITH CAUTION — when visiting this salon.

Recently visited the salon for Balayage highlights with Anastasia and a cut with Slade. Both did a wonderful job! They listened to my concerns and offered recommendations that would best suit my hair. I love the color and cut — they are both incredibly talented.
One small issue with checking out — the receptionist was a bit rude when I asked to put a small amount on my card as I only had cash for tips. Her response was rude and dismissive which was unfortunate given the good service I experienced up until then.

I saw a deal on Gilt City for a Haircut and Balayage and after reading the reviews decided to buy it. I had a haircut and balayage done in April and was in much need of a touchup!
Romain cut my hair and did a great job. I don’t know what kind of mask he put in my hair but one week later my hair is still so shiny and silky!
Anastasia did my balayage touchup and did an amazing job! I left a very happy camper.
Thanks Red Market Salon, I will be back again!

I have had 2 additional colorists at this place and each one has been fantastic. I love it here.
PROS:
Excellent service — every single employee here is professional and friendly. They ALL want to make sure you have a great experience
Hours — open late which is a HUGE positive. I have an actual job so I can’t go during the day and they are totally accessible
Talent — I have had 3 different stylists and they all have been extremely talented. They knew exactly how to treat my hair and even made a couple of great suggestions for a few small things that have made a big difference — things I never would have thought of!
CONS:
Still working on this section… I go there about once a month and can’t find one yet.
Keep up the great work :-)

I have been coming to Red Market Salon for almost two years on a weekly basis. My hair stylist is Crystal. My afro textured hair is very thick, dry, and frizzy, and she can blow out my hair in an amazing 30 minutes.
My hair has grown so long and healthy since she has been taking care of my hair, and everyone I come across has been complimenting me about it. She is also really good at hair cuts, and keratin treatments. Seriously, Crystal at Red Market changed my hair and my look in the most radical way! Even more, the salon is beautiful, trendy, and clean– and they serve wine and are open late! What’s not to like?

Love Red Market salon! Mainly for the talent that works there, obviously. Besides the talent which is of course a key, the entire experience when you go there, the service (friendly staff, wine, coffee etc) and the end result are always phenomenal. I’ve been trusting with my hair color to Anastasia for the last 13 years (I can’t believe it’s been that long). She is a true expert with color and I would not let anyone else do my color. She understands your style you’re trying to go for and also pairs it with your look and suggests what’s really best for you. Besides that, she is on top of all hair trends and knows all the latest techniques.
As for my haircut, David is an virtuoso with scissors. A few days ago he did my cut, just the way I wanted — long bob. The haircut that is so popular these days. The result was incredible. Check it out. Color by Anastasia and haircut by David.

This is by far the best salon in Manhattan. I go to Red Market Salon at least once a week to get a blowout. The salon is beautiful and the staff is warm and welcoming. I run my own business so my hours can be quite hectic. The salon is open until 11pm so it’s never too late to get my hair done. I know a friend who tried their Balayage services, and she is obsessed with her new color. She won’t go anywhere else! Overall, I highly recommend this salon.
Make an appointment at Red Market. You won’t regret it!

I rarely write reviews but feel like I need to share just how amazing everyone at the Red Market Salon is. Anastasia has done two color corrections and highlights for me over the past few years and is absolutely incredible. She is so talented at balayage and I am always thrilled with the end result. I had my first haircut with Crystal and she is also super talented. She transformed my dull, dead hair and made it healthy looking and perfectly styled (which I really did not think was possible after being so over processed). Though it’s a little on the pricey side, the salon has a great vibe, they offer amazing service and the results just can’t be matched anywhere. Totally worth every penny!
