Profile

Orlo is all about hair: No other services are offered, and its plain white space underscores the salon’s tight focus on the scalps and manes of the city’s fashion elite. Set in a Meatpacking District walk-up, the salon is owned by coiffeur Orlando Pita, who honed his reputation over decades of photo shoots. Orlo’s deluxe cuts and color have a decided downtown edge; the low-maintenance cuts, waifishly tousled or precisely layered, follow the hair’s texture while nudging it into more flattering lines. Color skews in two directions: quasi-natural (the sunny streaks of a four-year-old in late summer) and eye-catching, like Orlo’s original light-atop-dark look and true platinum without a trace of offending orange. Intense conditioning results in hair that mimics a Hamptons preschooler’s shiny, floppy mop, even if the color shouts well-planned artifice.

My sister treated me to a full hair makeover and i have never felt so transformed. Joe gave me such a delicious haircut and Andre's color was truly inspired. The experience was truly exhilarating

I have been a long standing client of Orlo's since they opened. I get my hair colored with Andre (the best colorist I've ever been to) and I get my hair cut by Joe (sometimes if I'm lucky Orlando himself). Always a postive experience and I always feel more beautiful when I'm done. Everyone should be so lucky!
