A NOTE FROM KIERAN

OUR MISSION

For a long time, I felt hairdressing in New York had been missing something and had somehow lost its way. Salons had become too impersonal, too factory-like, treating clients like dollar signs with hair on top. The care and attention had gone. We opened our salon in 2017 to be the antithesis of this trend, I told our team  "Imagine a salon environment that’s like ‘Cheers meets Christian Dior, that’s what we should be striving to achieve". That perfect balance of luxury and expert craftsmanship but in a delightfully warm, friendly environment.

With that goal in mind, we have assembled an absolutely phenomenal group of talented hairdressers, the ‘cream of the crop’ and I have set them a challenge. To rededicate themselves to you, our client. To provide an oasis where you are our sole focus.  Giving you unrivalled service and endless possibilities..  A curated, bespoke experience, tailored to all the unique demands of your hair.

We know that we are not the only salon in New York and that you have many choices and options and because of this, we are truly grateful you are thinking of choosing us to take care of all of your hair care needs.

We go to extraordinary lengths to provide extraordinary service. Warm, personalized and unrivalled.  A chance to decompress, recharge, to reconnect and leave feeling beautiful and positive about yourself, ready to take on the extraordinary challenges and stresses we are all facing today.. And, as our client, know, we will always be here for you.

I look forward to seeing you soon.

  • Today.com asks Kieran: What's the best product to protect your hair through the summer?

    “I love (John Frieda Frizz Ease) because it gets deep into the hair, sealing the cuticle to repel moisture and humidity. (It's) really easy to use and works every time with out weighing the hair down or making it feel greasy.”

BEHIND THE CHAIR

Kieran’s Story

Kieran started his career at the age of fourteen as a shampoo boy in a local village salon in England. By sixteen he had earned a Master Stylists Degree and joined the prestigious John Frieda Salon in London’s Mayfair, embarking on an apprenticeship under the great John Frieda himself. Photo shoots for such magazines as Vogue and Harpers Bazaar quickly followed, along with celebrities and London’s discerning fashionistas, all eager to get his signature ‘perfect’ cuts.

1990 brought his artistry across the Atlantic to NYC, creating looks backstage for fashion powerhouses such as Marc Jacobs and Prada.

As his reputation as a consummate professional grew, so did his clientele and they soon found themselves having to book their next appointment before they left the salon or face months of waiting before he was able to tend to their tresses again.

Now he has turned that same passion for excellence into creating Manhattans premier salon bringing together an unrivaled team of dedicated professionals.
