Vartali
At Vartali hair salon, our team of expert professionals and dedicated staff will strive to provide the highest level of professionalism to each and every client, thereby building a long-lasting relationship of trust and commitment. Vartali has always been one of the salons that has thrived on service.

For all the savvy clients in NYC who visit all the trendy salons the one remark that is always on their lips when visiting Vartali is how comfortable they feel while getting top of the line styles and color. Vartan, the owner, prides himself for discovering the best talents in haircut, color and make-up but he also knows without his competent desk and management his services might not be the same.
Services
Vartali specializes in stylish cuts, exquisite coloring and highlighting services. Our internationally trained staff offers blow dry and up-do styling and a full range of chemical and conditioning treatments, including the most up-to-the-minute Japanese straightening and smoothing processes and fashion-forward perms and body waves.
It all starts with an impeccable cut - it's the foundation of every great look. Sculpted, layered or angled to suit your face, your features, your height and your hair type. Our stylists are expertly trained to design the right cut for you! Easy breezy; soft and swinging, smooth or scrunched, sleek or full - our stylists can achieve a wide range of looks with blow dry styling.
There are a variety of permanent and temporary color services available. For the one that's right for your hair and lifestyle, speak with one of our hair color experts. A fast, simple process - like applying top coat to finish your nail -- this semi-permanent color coats the hair shaft to condition the hair, enhance the natural color and add lots of shine.
If you're looking to add texture, volume and soft waves to your hair, a body wave may be just what you're looking for. Larger rollers than the ones used in perms are arranged in variegated patterns that leave hair soft and natural-looking, adding lift and shape to lifeless hair. For a tighter, springier curl, ask about a perm.
We offer a full range of manicure, pedicure and waxing services, performed by our expertly trained staff of estheticians. Treat your hands to an almond, argon, lavender and coconut oil manicure. Deep massage magically sloughs away dead skin cells, leaving hands soft to the touch. Nutritive oils lubricate cuticles and nail beds to help prevent splitting, tearing and chapping.

This salon is the best of the best of the best, there is none better!

My appointment was with lead Expert colorist, Michael. I have never in my life seen my hair this gorgeous as a golden blonde! The color is so beautiful but I really cannot get over it! It is so soft and natural looking, so silky looking And so bright with beautiful highlighting without it even being highlighted technically!! It looks like I just got off the beach after several days but a deeper warmer tone! I am so thrilled! I would never wanna change to an iota so that's the challenge But no challenges to huge for him

I went to Vartali Salon over this past weekend, as my friend and I were in the city from LI for a wedding. We needed hair and makeup. Here are my thoughts:

Pros: Very clean, very punctual. My friend and I both really liked how our hair turned out and my friend really liked her makeup as well. Easy to find and we went based off yelp reviews. Very friendly and prices were decent for NYC.

Cons: SLOW. The girl who did my hair was very nice but SLOW. It took her close to an hour to simply blow dry my hair (I have thin, shoulder length hair that usually takes about 20 minutes to dry). We were under

I struggled for years trying to find a hair salon in NYC that could give me a natural blonde color without totally wrecking my hair... my search was over when I found Vartali!!!!
I have been going to Vartali for years now and I cannot say enough amazing things about the salon. Not only did they save my hair but they also welcomed me in as family. Every time I walk in the door, I feel like I am home.
My hair has never looked better or been healthier! Ana does my highlights - Michael is also fantastic if you can’t book an appointment with Ana! Tatyana does my eye brows and nails - highly recommend

Vartali is simply the best. The entire process is wonderful - from the moment you schedule an appointment with Jane, being welcomed by everyone when you walk in, color with Ana, cut with Piet, Mika or Vartan, eyebrows with Tatyana. The output is always reliable, but when you're going to commit to 3+ hours in a salon for a cut and color, you want the process and the experience to be great - and it is! 10 years strong at Vartali Salon :)

I was hoping this would be my new salon - I have to find a new one bc my stylist left my last place and I can't find her! - but my haircut at Vartali yesterday turned out just...okay. I came here with a Gilt City voucher and Gilt is actually how I discover a lot of places I am now loyal to/pay full price at. The thing I'm kind of annoyed at myself and the salon about is that the "value" of the voucher was $135 but I was put with the most junior stylist who I believe charges $80. I didn't request anyone specific when making the appointment but I guess I could have asked

I wasn't sure what to expect because I was a walk-in but I really needed my hair cut and highlighted... Tara did my hair and I love it. It looks really natural and she got rid of the brassy color that I had before. Love when I get a color AND cut that I'm not trying to fix myself when I get home. I will be going back for sure.

Amazing experience! This was my first visit to Vartali. Very clean and professional atmosphere. Tatyana waxed my eyebrows and Mika cut my hair. Both do quality and excellent work. I can tell they are very passionate about their work. Thank you both so very much!

What can I say? This salon deserves 10 stars. The stylists in this salon are phenomenal. Piet always does such an amazing job on my hair. I always walk out satisfied and people stop and complement me on my hair. It's an oasis and experience and I will always come here and fly up when I'm out of the state to get my hair done. Thank you for keeping me fabulous!

Alan Manson has cut my hair perfectly for many years. His sbility and creativity, combined with his kindness, have kept me a loyal and happy client for many years. Accompanied by Monda, his assistant and a skilled colorist in her own right, I am delighted to be their client.
Their recent move to Vartali has only enhanced their worth. Vartali is well run, clean and friendly.
There are no downsides in choosing this salon. 5’⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I just had my hair styled today for the first time by Mika. He was very attentive to all my wants and needs for the styling (I have long hair) and was meticulous with every cut. I HIGHLY recommend him and will be a returning client. Between Marco (who is an extraordinary colorist!) and Mika, you can be assured that you too will be thrilled with their skill, experience, and "chairside manner". These two help make Vartali the best salon in the City!

Absolutely the very finest beauty salon in New York City! I have been a dedicated customer for quite a few years... Maybe four years.
Love getting my hair done with Piet! Piet- you are amazing and such a sweetheart. And what a great listener you are. I always feel refreshed and beautiful in your Care. Thank you. I love how artistic you are because art simply lives in you.
Tatyana, I have gone to some pretty impressive eyebrow specialists, including Anastasia in Beverly Hills and a few others. You are absolutely the best! I will never let anyone else touch my eyebrows except for you LOL I think

I was looking for a new hairdresser since I haven't had a cut in 9 months. I was so desperate, but didn't want to get it cut by just anyone. My cousin told me that Monda does her hair and she is the absolute best!

Usually at hair salons they rush to see as many clients as possible to make the most money, but Monda is different.
She took the time to go over what we were going to do to my hair. She carefully listened to what I was looking for and provided her professional expertise. I have long hair and have had so many bad experiences where I tell the hairdresser I want 2-3 inches cut

Mika is the best stylist I've ever had. He is talented, but also so kind. He really wants you to love yourself and end up loving him, too. I always feel so happy and confident after he does my hair.
P.s. I love him so much that I had him do my hair for my wedding and it was perfect and he kept me so calm and relaxed before I walked down the aisle

I haven't yet had a personal experience with services at this salon however I did attend an event that my friend Adam hosted at the salon to promote his new dating app called Coy. The event space was spacious, clean and was set up beautifully to match the theme of the party. There were roses, candles and writing on the mirrors to promote the salon and my friends dating app. The bartender and owner of the salon were incredibly friendly. The owner made sure that everyone was well taken care of, you can tell that he has a geunine love for his business and everyone that enters it. At the event

Mika gets 5 stars! He took his time cutting my hair, did not rush me even though it was past the salon's closing time and most importantly the cut looks great! I will definitely be back!

Vartali always gets it right. Michael and Ana are color geniuses and Vartan and Piet are master stylists. The atmosphere is friendly, warm and everyone is always personable. I've had long and short cuts, high lights, low lights and even gone blue! They truly do it all. I highly recommend Vartali. A salon like this in NY is hard to find.

Bonus: They do a ton of giving back and for charity. Vartan is an excellent artist and often sells his artwork to benefit local non-profits. I love these guys!

I absolutely LOVED this place! My stylist Mika was a hair cutting genius! He spent TWO hours cutting my hair it was amazing how much time and care he put into it. It looked SO healthy and beautiful afterwards!

This place separates stylist based on their "speciality" meaning certain stylist only cut, others only color, etc. This allows each stylist to really master his/her speciality. I think this is an amazing arrangement and I've never been to a salon that does that but I sure hope more salons do because I really loved the work done here! I just wish I can come back to Mika for

5 stars for Mika. Had a great cut from a Gilt City coupon and I'll be back! Did not feel like he was rushing, nice and relaxed but also focused on the cut while we had a lovely chat. He finished with a nice blow dry.

I got a Gilt voucher because I have been meaning to check out Vartali from recommendations. I am usually a very low-maintenance girl and get my hair cut and styled 1-2 times a year at a pretty average place upstate where I live. What a nice treat to end up at Vartali! Everyone was courteous and friendly, and there was no snobbery at all even though I definitely was not dressed for the neighborhood.

The gal who washed my hair was really funny and was gentle and thorough. Luke was my stylist and in addition to being a sweetheart and good conversation, he is really good at his work. I walked in

Just got my hair cut by Mika, and I'm super happy with it. First of all, he's a super sweet guy who can make easy conversation and he really takes his time with your hair! My appointment was at 5, and (while I did get there close to 15 minutes late) he didn't finish till almost 7. I showed him a photo and he took his time really making sure that he understood what I wanted, and asking clarifying questions and trying to understand my hair type (I have pretty curly hair, but it was long when I walked in and had been pulled back in a bun all day, so the outer layers were relatively

The salon did not make clear that they would cancel our confirmed appointment for wedding make-up for the entire bridal party without a debit card. They claimed to have called the hotel to let us know but mysteriously they also booked the make up artist with other appointments so there was no way for him to come. Talk about being left at the altar! This party will never book Piet again for a wedding make up session! Very unreliable salon and rude too.

I was referred to Michael the colorist by a colleague of his who I have known for years,
Aside from the fact that Michael seems like a nice enough man who has been doing this a LONG time the whole experience was awful. He never discussed the color with me - just had his assistant mix it up.
the color began to fade after the second week....really awful
Ive been to the best in NY - and this is NOT it...given the price, especially.
small additional item, but if you're not 20, it might matter, the chairs for hair washing are torture to sit in....

I am so happy with my new hair!
I am usually not fond of New York hairdressers because they think they know better than the costumer and then just does what they want. Vartali is far from doing that, on the contrary, they did EXACTLY what I wanted and I could not be happier.
Besides from the colorist assistant ( who thought she was to fight a war on my scalp when washing my hair ) both Colorist and Cutter were perfect. Listened and knew what they were doing.
What I also loved about it was also that there were no products displayed at the desks you are sitting at. The haircuts are expensive enough
