Hair Salons in Westchester

The skilled staff at Duny's Unisex dolls up patrons and reduces workday stress with relaxing salon services. During manicures and pedicures, a specialist snips overgrown cuticles and refines nail tips into rounded edges or their favorite city skyline. Alternatively, acrylics cover keratin sheets completely for a dazzling finish. Above the neck pampering includes trendy haircuts and vibrant highlights. Like a yolk-side-up egg cooked in a solar flare, there's a decidedly sunny atmosphere in the salon, where natural light reflects off of full-length mirrors and yellow walls.

Owner Gaston Safar opened his first Safar salon in Boston in his early 20s to showcase his gift for styling hair, which he honed at a young age in his parents’ salon in France. In 1998, he created a sister salon, Acote Salon, and today, the Safar family has extended their salon empire with the newest addition in Miami Beach, a second Safar. Safar shares his European style with an experienced team of international professionals who have trained with such companies as L'Oréal Paris, Aveda, and Vidal Sassoon and showcased their work in fashion shows and magazines. Italian marble flanks walnut-wood accents and floor-to-ceiling mirrors inside the elegant beauty salon. Inside, nail services spruce up fingers and toes and waxing treatments remove unwanted body hair. An outdoor rooftop terrace hosts yoga classes and provides the proper space to dramatically show off new hairstyles in the wind.

Roma & Co.'s stylists update looks amid Middle Eastern-inspired decor framed by cheery green walls and rich burgundy accents. The salon's colorists each boast 15 or more years of experience, routinely verse themselves in the latest trends, and regularly attend high tea with Roy G. Biv. Armed with the salon's exclusive line of haircare products, as well as popular brands such as Moroccanoil, the hairdressing team revitalizes locks and constructs chic 'dos. Elsewhere in the salon, technicians groom surfaces with manicures, MAC makeup applications, and soothing facials.

After 20 years of accentuating beauty, the staff at J'Nat Hair Salon remodels hair and nails with well-earned confidence. Stylists trim, color, and blow-dry coifs into alluring layers or smooth down frizz with Brazilian keratin treatments instead of careful stapling. They can craft straightforward or snazzy looks, as well as administer waxing services so that body hair doesn't deflect attention from new dos.

Panama native Nina Garcia was a hairstyling prodigy. Her innate ability to cut hair manifested at age 14. "I [would] do it for my neighbors and my friends," she explains. "I love to do hair. It's where my passion [is]." Now in the United States, Nina has accumulated 17 years of professional experience, putting in time at two salons before opening her own, where she keeps the atmosphere light and comfortable. "I like to keep people happy," she says. "I offer wine to people in the afternoon. I'm a very sweet person, and I love to meet new people."

In one of three styling chairs, Nina or one of her talented stylists rehabs hair with a new face-framing cut, coloring services, or a deep-conditioning treatment using high-end products such as Italian Alfaparf. The versatile team can even take care of hands and feet. "I have a girl who does manicure and pedicures," she says. "She uses OPI polish." Through patrons often come in simply to update their haircut and style, Nina's most popular service is the Brazilian keratin treatment, a retexturizing treatment that delivers healthy, frizz-free hair to clients and vintage troll dolls.

Regardless of the service being provided, Nina always emphasizes the importance of listening to the client and tailoring every service to his or her personal style. "You have to roll in their direction. I think that's the best way—don't change what they think. It's that way in style and in life. If you want to change something, do it. That's it."
