What People Are Saying About Parlor

The Space – Aimed at a fashionable yet unpretentious clientele, Parlor's comfortable, casual atmosphere is a far cry from the snobbery and anonymity of many uptown salons. Set back from the storefront for maximum privacy, the six cutting chairs are situated along the borders of an open marble floor, under stylish Chinese lanterns. With anything from acid jazz to '50s classics playing soothingly and the resident Weimaraner lounging on the floor, this is a throwback to the old-school beauty salons where women would gather to relax and chat. – – The Services – Inventive…

Colorist that left recently
by bayridgelea
The Parlor is a wonderful place I heard about through a friend at work. I went in for a color consult, and walked out looking magnificent! I was devastated when I heard abut his departure, and it took me a week of calling around to try and find him, there are a lot of salons in NY....
If you are curious about parlor, I would give it two thumbs up as a salon, even though the "highlight" for me is now gone. If you also used to see Hayden, I tracked him down at Salon Berardinis on 7th ave, I was glad to have found him I never had such a natural look to my highlights.
- Pros: lovely enviornment and professional staff
- Cons: my color guy left, Hayden

Nice space, people, and service - but not top notch
by ASD83
I visited Parlor last winter for a single process with Gwen. After years with a colorist on Long Island, I figured it was high time that I actually get my hair colored by someone closer to home. Due to nerves, I figured my best bet was to book with the owner, since she's been in the business for years and, naturally, would be good at what she does. Gwen was such a sweetheart - really knowledgeable, offered me wine, which was AWESOME, and her assistant was a really nice guy. But overall, my service was just okay. The space is nice, the people are nice, but my hair turned out much darker than I wanted, I was not offered a glaze (which I think is key), and the blowdry the assistant gave me was atrocious. I decided not to go back mostly because I can't afford to pay extra $$ to have my color done by the owner, but also because I don't like the idea of an assistant doing my blowout and my colorist shuttling back and forth between clients. I wouldn't discourage others from coming here - they are such nice people and clearly passionate about what they do - I guess it just wasn't the place for me.
- Pros: Warm, welcoming salon.
- Cons: A bit pricey; service not as fantastic as I had hoped for.
