Greek-native and Cutler-alum Clyde Elezi helms this serene, homey salon on the second floor of a commercial loft building in Soho. The three stylists and three colorists on staff, many of whom followed Elezi over from Cutler, use Redken and Pureology products for washing, conditioning, and styling. The best seat in the house is along the huge front window overlooking Spring Street, especially on a morning when the sun pours in, illuminating the entire length of the salon. Here, Elezi creates sharp layers and edgy looks like razor-cut bobs, but aims to make your cut look natural even after a few months of growth. The salon also offers Keratin and Japanese straightening treatments, as well as styling (and trials) for brides and their bridal parties. — Randi Eichenbaum
