Team Le Salon East

Backstage at Jose Duran

Recently, Team Le Salon East had the distinct honor of creating the hair design for up and coming designer Jose Duran’s show on the opening night of Fashion Week.

With an hour before the show’s start time and models still arriving from shows all over town, the atmosphere backstage was frantic. As makeup artists and manicurists dodging in between stylists, our team crimped and pinned in a frenzy. Re-creating  the complex look on each model was a challenge but Team Le Salon East, worked with the differing types of hair and face shapes to create a streamlined look.

The chosen design was part French twist, part beehive, and completely in step with the tribal-yet-futuristic feel of Jose Duran’s collection. Called in a few days before Fashion Week began, the editorial team from Le Salon East had a short period of time to view the 44 looks and create one style that would not only compliment but enhance the designs.

Team Le Salon East had a great time and would like to thank our co-sponsors, Alfaparf Milano as well as the Berit Group for making this show possible.

#NYFW

Le Salon East is getting ready for our big Fashion Week premiere tonight at the Jose Duran Spring/Summer 2011 show. We will be spending the afternoon over at Columbus Circle, prepping models and taking in the scene.

Accordingly, Le Salon East will be closed at 5:30 today, but we will be back  in full swing tomorrow!

Keep an eye out for tales from backstage, exclusive photos, and more! And check out Jose Duran’s previous collections – hailed as the next McQueen, this Dominican-born Paris-based designer is definitely up and coming. We couldn’t be more excited to create the hairstyles for tonight’s show.

Labor Day Closings

UPDATE: Beachy as life may be, Le Salon East will only be closed on September 6th in observance of Labor Day.

Closed for Repairs!

Nobody ever said being beautiful was easy, and accordingly Le Salon East will be closed on Tuesday, August 17th for additional renovations.

We apologize for any convenience this may cause

Gloss vs. Glaze

Redken

For all of you who’ve called about our recent deal at Lifebooker Loot, a quick guide to gloss and glaze. Please not that the service comes with either gloss OR  glaze – it is not possible to apply both since they are variations on the same treatment. Read more »

Le Salon East is getting a Makeover!

This overhaul is a pretty big deal. We will be closed Monday through Wednesday, July 26-28, 2010. Apologies for any inconvenience our beautification may cause.

Introducing L’Oreal série expert

It seems that every little activity is damaging to hair in some way – UV rays zap out   moisture, hair color dries it to straw, and let’s not forget the havoc wreaked on your already stressed strand by daily straightening rituals.

But now, there’s a série expert for that.

Read All About It!

IN New York Magazine wrote us up as “one of the few expert, full-service salons” offering Brazilian Keratin treatment in their July issue. Check out the article here.

You may have noticed that your Brazilian Keratin appointments actually take less than the 90 minutes described in the article. That’s because we have upgraded our flat-irons to brand-new titanium technology, specially designed to lock in the keratin treatment. These irons allow us to apply the treatment to short hair in about 60 minutes and medium-length hair in about 90 minutes. Talk about instant!

Updated Policies at Le Salon East

Every salon runs a bit differently, but the goal of many clients is the same: to escape for a few hours and relax under the hands of a professional. That doesn’t always happen when confusions about types of service, discounts applied, and scheduled appointment times arise. To that end, Le Salon East would like to set out some guidelines so you may knowwhat to expect upon your next visit.

Our general policy is as follows: In order to provide the most ideal atmosphere possible, we ask that our clients be courteous to each other and the salon staff. We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone who is disruptive to other clients’ salon experience. As such, adhering to scheduled appointments helps us make your experience at Le Salon East as flawless as possible. If you do need to cancel or reschedule, as much advance notice as possible is greatly appreciated so we may better serve other clients. Excessive lateness may result in a cancellation of your appointment, so it’s always best to call us at 212-888-2828.

What you can expect from your treatment:

Full-price cut services do include a full blow-dry and style. All full-price highlight services include a rough finishing blow-dry, and do not include gloss. A full blow-dry with style or gloss can be booked with your color appointment for $25.00 each.

As colorists, we sometimes need to apply a toner in order to enhance warm colors or counteract brassiness. Often previously colored hair will not lift to the desired tone, in which case added toner will restore balance and help achieve the specific color you desire. This service is provided at the discretion of your colorist and is an additional $40.00

As for gratuities, determining the appropriate amount can lead to tricky waters. While a gratuity is customary for good service, the amount is always left to the discretion of our clients. However, it is customary to calculate gratuity based on the full price of service, before any deals or discounts have been applied. The best way to show your appreciation is to calculate an amount which corresponds to your stylist’s level of training. At this time, gratuities cannot be charged to your credit card.
