Amazing Autumn
I came in for a hair and scalp treatment. I'm growing out layers. Autumn tailored the treatment to my hair and skin type, gave an incredible scalp, neck, arm and hand massage then gave me a new hair style based on a picture I brought in. Friends all thought I had a new hair cut! My hair felt fuller, stronger, and had great color and shine after the treatment.

Lovely, as always
It is amazing to have a salon that can be relied on, consistently, for great color -- for THREE YEARS! I have always left parlor with a color I love, that I look good in -- and that still looks great five weeks later. Giovanna have seen me through short hair to mid-length, and gives great cuts and great talk. The deep conditioner left me hair wonderfully soft an full, for days later.

great place
I really enjoyed getting my hair done there. Everyone was friendly and attentive. Amanda did my hair and she took a lot of time and care assessing what was best for me. And even though they are busy, I didn't feel rushed like I do at some places.

Definitely recommend!

So relaxing, and first rate service
I keep coming back here because Michele gives me great cuts and colors, but also because the whole staff is so happy to be working here and it shows through in the experience I get from my greeting to my scheduling, hair wash to hand massage. First rate and laid back.

I Love Parlor
Super nice staff who always make me feel welcome and relaxed. Once or twice (over a decade of cuts and colors) when I've not been completely happy with the results, I've gone back for a "re-do" - always offered, never charged for. In fact, Parlor goes out of their way to make the 'customer' happy. The stylists, mostly female, come in all sizes, shapes, and hairstyles-so there really is the right person there for everyone's taste.

Everything was perfect.
From being welcomed to scheduling next appointment service was fabulous. The space is cumfortable and light. Complimentary hand massage while color was processing is a definite bonus. Also they always have good magazines. Sarah is a top notch professional.

I went in for a student "highlights" and went out with a professional one.

I recommend it!

Love Katjia and Ava!
My search for a salon is finally complete after 4 years. Had a lovely Sunday morning at Parlor full of iced tea, relaxing hand massages, deep conditioning treatments and fabulous cut and color. Katjia is the answer to my search for a blonde colorist. She did exactly what I asked and the blonde is the perfect champagne/honey color I want. Ava was able to fit me in for a trim without having an appointment and they even offered me a complimentary deep condition in between my color and cut. I will definitely be back. Thanks Parlor Salon!

haircut on May 4th with Eva
I went to Parlor for my first time on May 4th and received a fantastic haircut from Eva. Not only did she ask me what I wanted, she also executed the cut with perfection. I'm very low-maintenance when it comes to managing my hair, and I can tell that this cut will last me a while.

Thanks so much Eva and Parlor!

another amazing haircut from Autumn!!
Love this place!
Autumn does all and each of my haircuts. It's pretty much the first hair dresser that i can totally trust with my hair. Before, I'd try to explain what I want, and leave sometimes just close to what i've been imagining or frustrated with something i dislike. With Autumn, I can just briefly describe what I'm thinking or show a picture, and then I can just relax and be sure that I'll get something completely wonderful and new :) Thanks so much!

Sarah gave me a great haircut. Parlor has a "just right" atmosphere: comfortable, professional, courteous and spacious. All five-star worthy. I'll be coming back.

Outstanding
What a great experience with Amanda this weekend, and her soft-handed assistant Chris. Thanks for a very carefully-considered, wonderful job on the color. This was also most challenging given the short notice to fill in for Gwenn: you both rock! The pampering and laughs were most appreciated too, Chris!

Eva is very good

This was my second time seeing Katya, and she did not disappoint - my blondish highlights are face-framingly beautiful and super natural looking.

luxury without the trappings of
I'm a girl who likes to be pampered, but not in the kind of way that makes people feel the need to wait on me hand and foot. The Parlor in New York City's east village is the perfect get away for me. I am always greeted warmly and punctually, I am always treated with little surprises with every visit (they offer a fine tea, coffee and regular old water, but with lots of love) and most of all, the styling service is great. I am a client of Erin Boyle (soon to be leaving for California to follow her dreams) and she is the bee's knees. I like that I don't feel like I am judged by my clothing or if I'm wearing make-up, but am still treated like my time is worth something. Erin is a master at her craft and I'm sad to see her go, but she referred me to not one, not two, but three different stylists (two at her salon, one near me in Brooklyn) so that I didn't have to wonder who would take over. She is wonderful and I'm excited to continue visiting this salon even in her absence.

hair color
It was a wonderful and relaxing experience, even though I didn't get a haircut, only color. And the Aveda-colors are fantastic and natural.

My hairdresser, Eva, is a warm and inspiring person.

The only thing I would suggest, to maybe find more comfortable washbasins.

Professional service, fabulous staff great environment
Every time I visit Parlor I am thrilled with my experience. Not only does my hair look great and healthy but the service from scheduling through finishing is perfect.

The excellent treatment extends to clients and staff alike and is not limited to my stylist, Erin, but is evident throughout the salon.

My young daughters receive age appropriate, independent personalized service as well. I overhear respectful interaction between staff and wonderful collaborative consultation between stylist and client at each visit.

My stylist Erin is leaving for new and greater advancement of her craft. I am confident that her recommendation for me will be as wonderful an experience at Parlor and that Erin will go on to do great things.

Parlor is a hidden gem in the East Village

Amanda does a beautiful job on my color, cut, and style. the entire staff is welcoming and caters to you whether it's getting you a cup of coffee, magazines, or even a hand massage while you wait. it's the perfect little East Village salon.

another peaceful experience
having my hair cut at parlor is always a relaxing experience. thought the salon is busy, everything moves smoothly and serenely. rebecca, the assistant for this visit, gave a soothing head massage as she washed my hair, and sarah jones, the excellent stylist, is so efficient and calm that i need but close my eyes and relax. a lovely experience and an excellent haircut.

Just what my poor hair needed
Michelle took my "problem child" hair, really listened to what I needed, and gave me beautiful, healthy hair by he end of our appointment. Her expertise really shows. I will most definitely be back to Parlor and will recommend it to everyone.

Loved my first visit.
So I had a feeling I would love parlor. My sister trained in NYC as a stylist and had said I should check them out for years. The salon is totally cute and unpretentiously hip. Its aveda concept so get ready for the Aveda treatments and scalp massage. Plus the products are more natural and Eco which appeals. The Staff was both friendly & helpful and picked the perfect stylist for my needs. Eva is their newest stylist. I told her my hair "issues" (had had some real difficulties of late with bad layering that made me feel like I still had the circa 1990's "Jennifer" which I'm not even sure i liked back then) and she had some great ideas for how to freshen up my style and used techniques that work Better for my hair.. Eva has a wonderful blend of creativity and listening to my needs that made my experience and cut beautiful. Can't wait to see where we go w it next.

East village love
I love Parlor! Giovanna cut my hair this time and listened to what i wanted, was bubbly and cheerful and easy to talk to, and gave me a fabulous cut. She even suggested a product that I now love. She was helpful, informative, and forgiving when I was 15 mins late for my appointment. I will be seeing her from now on! I'm a loyal fan of Giovanna and parlor. Yay!

Horrible
My best friend and I used to love Parlor but the salon has gone downhill. There is a very high turn over and all the good people have left. The owner is completely unprofessional and needs to learn how to treat her staff and customers.

After I washed my hair the day after my haircut, it looked as good as when I walked out of Parlor the day before. Thank you Gwen.

I always enjoy my appointments
My haircuts from Parlor are always spot-on. Michele does a great job, she listens to what I want and she's fun! Not too talky, not too intense. The salon has a good, low-key vibe and all of the staff are friendly and professional. You can't go wrong here!

Haircut/Blowdry
From the moment I walked in, I was the priority in this off-the-beaten-path salon. While waiting for my stylist, her assistant gave me an aromatherapy scalp massage and brought me a cup of tea. My stylist made time for a consultation- lucky for me because I had several questions. She was upbeat, but honest with her options. The cut is one of the best I've received in a long time. I will definitely be back to this salon again!
