In Short – The vanilla-chocolate color scheme is just a taste of this salon's sweet cafe ambience. A stylish Soho clientele awaits appointments by the front window, browsing a collection of vintage, modern and foreign fashion mags at a cozy two-seat bistro table. Across the room at three open cutting stations, stylists coif their own confections on clients--be it a cut, color, highlights or a perm--while ambient electronica whispers down from the ceiling.

superb service, uses good products, has a nice system that keeps track of regular customers and their needs! My haircut last week was quite good, and I had a very pleasant time chatting with the staff. It may not be the place to go if you want an extremely stylized hair cut, but they defintely know how to do hair well.

  • Pros: tea service, attentive staff, nice decor
