Vasken Demirjian Salon

I have been going to Vasken for years. He continues to do wonders with my color. He is an artist — not just doing color. I feel like a new woman every time I leave his salon. Not only is Vasken a maestro, Aysen is the best stylist I’ve ever had. I’ve paid hundreds for hair care in top Manhattan salons (bumble and bumble, etc.). She gives a haircut and style that holds its shape for months. I would recommend this salon to anyone!

I got my hair done here about 5 months ago. I always wanted to write a review but never got to it. To be honest I was a bit skeptical by all the good Unilocal reviews, especially because none of my friends ever heard of this place. But I was completly wrong!!! From when I walked in to when I walked out every one was super friendly and polite. I got my hair cut&colored by mauro and he did such an amazing job!!! Besides the cut and color being amazing, I couldnt stop touching my hair because it was so super soft. It was so soft I couldnt concentrate on traffic and was just sitting in my car playing with my hair the whole time! Luckly I had no car accident… haha!
This place is truly amazing and I think its even the best hairsalon I have ever been to and I’ve been to alot of places all over the world.
Thanks again for the great haircut!

Five stars for this salon and I’ll make sure to tell you exactly why you have to go here:
I’m an extremely anxious person when it comes to getting my hair cut. I grew up in Manhattan and only went to one salon. I stumbled upon Vasken’s through Unilocal and remembered it was it located across the street from my apartment. While I researched the salon, I was comforted to know it was apart of the best salons in the world and had really great reviews — i went for it. Making an appointment was easy and they sent me a text, as a reminder.
My appointment was at 9 a.m., right when they opened, making me the first guest of the day. Vasken met me at the door and we started talking, not to mention he took my jacket and hung it up for me. (you don’t see such humble business owners these days.) he asked me what I wanted to do with my hair and advised, based on what I was envisioning. not only were we having great hair talk, but we were having such great conversation. He asked me if I drink espresso, I said of course, I studied abroad in Florence last semester, and he made me a cappuccino, with their espresso machine in the back, thus switching our topic of conversation Italy.
we enjoyed speaking so much that he told me he would give me a free gift of color. this made me so happy to not only know I could connect with such a successful business owner, but that he was so caring and honest.
I was placed with Lisa, who cut my hair short and stylish. she spent such a great amount of time on my hair, ensuring me that she would produce a great hair cut– which she did! Lisa was thoughtful, immensely talented and was a great listener. (she really produced the style I wanted!)
when vasken got to coloring my hair, he said he was going to give me a bayleage (sp?). i was nervous at first, as i haven’t dyed my hair in a while, but he ensured me it was going to look sexy and natural, which definitely described the final product.
the time and care Vasken’s salon puts into their guests is unmeasurable and incomparable. this is the salon that I always want to go to and hopefully you do too!

Updating my review, gave it 4 stars by accident on my last. Love this salon it is definitely a 5 star place. Once I walk in, I am given a robe like royalty and am escorted to my seat. I am also given a fresh cappuccino. I came in to do a bayalage and after all of my color changes, my hair still feels healthy and amazing. After my color, I am given the best blowdry by Alinda. The best blowdry i have ever received. If you want amazing color, blowdry, and service then this is the perfect salon!!!

This salon is the best! The owner and staff are wonderful. I live in Anchorage Alaska and visit my sister in NY periodically. She currently goes to the salon and suggested that while I was visiting that I get my hair done since I needed a cut and color. I have been to the salon twice and each time it was a beautiful experience. The first time I had color with Vasken and cut with Eva. Wonderful! Cannot express how special Vasken makes his clients feel. Second time I had Lisa cut my hair and Matilda do the color. Nothing but high fives all the way around for each visit. Today I got another compliment on my color and cut at work. This prompted me to call the salon and speak to Matilda and give her a big THANK YOU. Cannot wait to get to NY again and visit the salon. Will DEFINITELY give this salon 5 STARS!!!
P. S. Thank you Vasken for the ride home with your lovely girls! They are precious.

Being fortunate enough to travel the world with my job, I must preface this review by saying I’ve been to my fair share of hair salons from Argentina to Athens. Stumbling upon this hidden gem was the best thing that’s ever happened to my hair! The salon itself is like eye candy from ceiling to floor, the music is cool, the espresso station inviting, simply put it has a great vibe. Even the display of hair color products looks like a Nespresso Boutique! Let me start at the top with Vasken, who is a true genius that takes color to an intellectual level. He genuinely cares an awful lot about every client and like me, ensures you leave looking your absolute best. He is a master color craftsman whose commitment to his staff and his guests clearly shows in the finished product. Amazing. Next is Bulent, who gave me my finest haircut ever. His technique is unique and I promise every strand of hair has a purpose once he’s finished. The supporting staff is professional, gracious and very accommodating. Overall, a true 5 star experience. I highly recommend Vasken’s salon and plan to come a long way for my next appointment!

I had the privilege to be in their salon yesterday. Everyone was very professional yet hospitable. I felt so welcome, it was cozy, relax but with style. Salon was filled with tons of positive energy/​vibe coming from Vasken and the whole team. Seeing Vasken work with his clients was enjoyable. It is perfect. He created this salon with passion. This is the best salon I have ever visited. I wish Vasken and his team love and continous affluence!

This is an most amazing salon. I just moved here for my career and find this salon so convenient, beautiful, and architecturally pleasing. I have been here a few times and would highly recommend Matilda for coloring. Matilda is a true artist that teaches me how to make my hair healthy and ever so beautiful. She has a meticulous attention to detail. If you care about high quality, amazing service and an all around great experience that you remember, Matilda is your way to go for color. For a true haircut masterpiece Bulent is the way to go. He is a consummate artist and mastermind in the way he cuts each strand of hair with amazing precision. If you want great color, cut and style these are the professionals you want is trust your tresses with.

This salon is incredible. The staff is wonderful, all so friendly and accommodating. Vasken colored my hair, it looks absolutely beautiful. He is truly a talented colorist. He is dedicated to making you look great. 5 stars for Vasken.
Mauro cut my hair. I haven’t gotten a haircut that I liked in a long time. He changed that for me. He did exactly what I asked for. I love it. If you want a good haircut, see Mauro, you won’t be disappointed. He is spiritual and warm.
This was just what I needed. A visit to Vasken Demirjian Salon. A very pleasant experience. We all deserve a day at this 5 star salon.

I got a pixie cut roughly a year & a half ago. I’ve been growing it out ever since. For anyone who is growing out their hair they can relate when I say every inch is precious. This is the reason I trust Vasken & Bulent. I love them both and they will be the only ones who will ever touch my hair. You walk out of Vasken’s Salon feeling like a million bucks but furthermore you still feel amazing months later when your cut & color grow out spectacularly.

I went to Vasken Salon today for a blow out for my engagement photos. This was my first time in here and I will defiantly come back. The salon itself was very nice inside. All of the staff were super friendly. Alinda was my stylist and she did an amazing job! It was super windy outside during our photo shoot and my hair somehow stayed perfectly! Would definitely recommend this salon.

The staff at Vasken Demirjian Salon are so sweet and welcoming. I’m always walking out the door with a smile on my face after leaving this place. I don’t think there’s anything that they’re not good at! Very organized, every attentive and remain focused on your interest. They use the BEST products and do such a fanatic job that you feel like you’re leaving the salon with a head full of beautiful, manageable hair! I’m telling you they do wanders! My colorist Matilda did the best balayage I could’ve asked for, she blended the color in so perfectly that it looks so natural, I love it! But not without the touch of Alinda’s hands and her awesome blow outs that I die for!

Wow. Super impressed. You will get the royal treatment from hair experts but the value is fabulous. If you don’t want to pay 500 dollars for full highlights and a cut, but want it to look that way– this is your spot.
Coffee = amazing, everyone is incredibly nice and professional, and you will be styled by true experts.
I got half head highlights and lowlights. I asked for a little warmth, as my blonde was starting to feel washed out. It came out AMAZING with some caramel low-​lights and also more natural (not dried out bleachy) high-​lights.
Then I had my cut. I forget the stylist’s name but she rocked my world. Didn’t realize how much the right cut matters in giving you that expensive modern look. She was so thoughtful and knew which pieces to grow out/​keep long, and which to trim while still giving it length. .We have a long term «plan» but it already looks so gorgeous!
With highlights, lowlights and a cut, I think I paid around $ 250. I promise it’s a good value for what you get. You will feel beautiful for weeks:)
I was suckered into an Oribe leave in conditioner but well worth it. Really a great product. Felt a tiny bit pressured at the end to buy more products but I get it. The cross-​selling happens at any good salon.
Overall– highly recommend. This is my new spot!

I’ve been here twice– once for color with Vasken and just recently for a cut with Mauro. I have to say that I will never go anywhere else. My experiences both times were amazing.
Vasken made me feel comfortable and I trusted him completely with my color. He studied my hair thoroughly and made great recommendations. He was such a sweetheart and knew exactly what to do. He clearly knows what he is doing/​talking about and it shows in the final product. My color has never looked better and I still get compliments all the time!
I have always had long hair and I wanted to change it up a bit so I booked an appointment with Mauro to cut my hair. He made me feel so comfortable from the moment I walked through the door by greeting me with the biggest hug. He had me washed right away (By the way, I was washed by Karen and let me say that it was the best wash I have ever had). Mauro gave me exactly what I wanted and I walked out with the biggest smile on my face. Having my hair cut by him was by far one of the best decisions. My hair looks so healthy and it feels amazing!
I absolutely love this place. Like I said I will never go anywhere else! Love you guys!

Top notch experience during my first visit to Vasken Salon last night! I went in looking for a major change, cutting off about 10 inches into a lob style haircut. I was nervous about the drastic change and wanted to go somewhere that wouldn’t disappoint. These reviews beckoned me to Vasken Salon!
Vasken himself is incredibly friendly, charming and a burst of fresh air and high energy. He immediately made me feel at home and comfortable, demonstrating a quality of hospitality and customer service that is so rare, and impossible to mimic or forge. He’s genuine!
Bulent gave me the most amazing cut! It was a pleasure getting to watch him work– he is truly a master at his craft. He was so helpful, offering suggestions to help me decide on what I wanted to do, and then he absolutely nailed it! In fact, he gave me a cut that was even better than what I had pictured. He was so professional– every movement he made was so indicative of a true artist and a perfectionist– it’s easy to sit back and trust that you are in very good hands.
Thank you Vasken and Bulent! — I will be back :)

This is my second review for this salon because it honestly just gets better every time I go! I got balayage and a haircut from Mauro again and he made me look even better than he did the first time! He did exactly what I asked for and I couldn’t be happier! Mauro is one of the most genuine hairdressers I ever have had, he can become your best friend during your first visit and he remembers all of his clients and is so kind to all of them. Mauro is simply a god when it comes to hair and I don’t plan to switch to anyone else. Vasken Salon has the kindest staff who are always happy to see you and are so kind to you no matter who you are! Vasken really hired some professionals and I plan to stick with this salon for as long as possible.

I am so picky about my hair. I drove an hour and a half to go to this salon and it was absolutely worth it! Arta did a very thorough consult and was very careful to be sure we were on the same page. Vasken was so sweet and came over to give his opinion on what to do with my hair as well. And I ended up being so happy with his suggestions! Arta was amazing — her balayage was perfect and she took my hair to platinum with very little damage! I highly recommend going to see Arta for balayage. I will definitely be back!

Update: I visited the salon again, this time I received beautiful mulifaceted color and another great layered cut, both by Mauro. I also love the energy at Vasken Salon!

I was looking for a killer hair salon and color/​cut expert since moving to White Plains, NY from Phoenix AZ. After reading a handful of the reviews on this salon and stylist Mauro I decided to book an appointment and I have to say he and the salon exceeded my expectations. Mauro is a true artist, he has an warm and sweet energy and is very efficient when it comes to color! He got it right the first time from a couple photographs I showed him from Pinterest. I would Highly recommend Mauro and the salon!!!

This is the best my hair has ever looked — I’ve never had the nicest looking hair since I’ve never had a stylist that just «got it». Now, I get so many compliments on my hair.
I came to Vasken with a major correction and he turned my disaster into the prettiest gold highlights I’ve ever had.
I have very fine straight hair that is incredibly difficult for me to style or shape, and Bulent gave me the greatest cut ever– everyone tells me how full and healthy my hair looks. It’s incredible to watch him transform your hair.
In here you’re treated like gold. Vasken and his staff are so friendly and attentive and the assistants are fantastic-​constantly checking in to see how they can make you more comfortable. This was the greatest salon experience I can recall and it was worth every penny!
