“A wonderful experience. Right across from Grand Central, lovely intimate but low key atmosphere.  Jeanette and Amory are great stylists and fun to talk to.  Highly recommended!”

“Been all over the city for haircuts (made men, filthy rich, boutique barber, etc) – the Amory experience was a refreshing change of pace.  Booked ahead of time online, got seated on time, shampoo + conditioned, all scissor cut with the right amount of questions and recommendations thrown in, left feeling refreshed and satisfied.  Amory is professional, polite, efficient, and friendly. She’s also a master with the scissors.  One more plus – the studio had a private feeling vs. a barbershop, allowing you to get away from the electricity of nyc and relax.  Thanks for a great experience!”

“Amory gave my husband the best haircut ever! She was so meticulous and paid super close attention to detail and really executed the vision I had for his look. He said it was the best cut he’s ever had and I’m inclined to agree.”

FAQ

You got questions, we’ve got answers below!

 

A barber specializes in traditional cuts, fades, and grooming like shaves, while a men’s hair salon offers more detailed styling, treatments, and modern hair care services.

Ask for a textured haircut by saying, “I want a textured style with movement.” Mention if you prefer choppy layers, added volume, or a natural, tousled look for extra clarity. Not too sure what any of this means, no problem we will guide you through the process.

Gray blending for men’s hair typically lasts 4 to 6 weeks, depending on hair growth and care. As hair grows, the blended areas gradually fade, requiring touch-ups.

Color blending for gray hair is a technique that subtly mixes your natural color with gray to create a smooth, gradual transition. It softens the contrast, making the gray less noticeable while maintaining a natural look. Ideal for men wanting low-maintenance coverage without fully covering the gray!

It depends on the look you’re going for! Clippers are better for even, precise lengths and quick trims, while scissors offer more control for detailed shaping and trimming longer beards.  Don’t worry, we are great at either techniques!

Demi-permanent hair color is very minimally damaging compared to permanent dyes. It doesn’t contain ammonia, so it won’t lighten your natural hair, but it does use a mild developer, which can cause slight dryness. Overall, it’s a gentler option that adds shine and fades gradually.

The best hair relaxer depends on your hair type and needs. **Lye relaxers** work faster and are ideal for coarse hair, while **no-lye relaxers** are gentler on the scalp but can be more drying.  We specifically use No-Lye relaxer as it is safer to use with less chance of irratation.

A keratin treatment typically lasts 3 to 6 months, depending on your hair type and aftercare. We always recommend sulfate-free products and to avoid excessive washing to help extend its longevity.
