To experience the salon firsthand, I made an appointment at their New York City location. The West Village salon is cozy --housing only a handful of work/shampoo stations. Dark brick and exposed electrical cables and wiring create an industrial vibe, while fun cartoon paintings add vibrant pops of color to the space. I am paired with Gaby. We go over what I want to achieve (a richer hue – bye-bye brassy blonde), and she gets to work. Using a technique that's new to me, she paints sections of my hair, then covers each with a paper-like sheet. Once the color has processed, it's off to the shampoo bowl for a rinse, shampoo, and an invigorating head massage. We return to her chair, where she gives me a blowout. I give my hair a few flips, and appraise it in the full-length mirror. My hair is beautiful, bouncy, and the color is perfect. What's great about this salon is that they have their own line of products, including Shampoos and Conditioners (Hydrating, Curling and Volumizing), Saltiness Styling Spray, Molding Paste, Powder Volume, Shine Spray, Styling Wax, and Curling Milk. Their products smell good and do exactly as expected -- create shine, volume, and texture. Their prices are also reasonable: Single Process $75+, Partial Highlights $150+, and Women's Cut $80.
