The former director of the men’s division at Paul Labrecque, Martial Vivot went on his own in 2008 with this devoted-to-men salon. Its sophisticated, neutral-toned interior and the bar with top-shelf liquors make it feel masculine and friendly but not overdesigned. There are basic services like manicures ($32), haircuts (from $125), and shaves (from $85), and more devoted groomers can get highlights (from $100) or a mint menthol scalp treatment (from $85).
Best Men's Salon
From the 2009 Best of New York issue of New York Magazine
Our mission this year: to hunt down not just the best but the best values in the eating, shopping, drinking, and general-consuming universe of New York. It’s quite the process, this, requiring eating and shopping and drinking (all in the name of research), followed by heated but civil discussion, and heated but less-civil discussion, until a winner emerges in each category.
