If you're on the fence about WS Hairstyling, know that this Greenwich Village studio has built a serious following among New Yorkers who want luxury-salon results without the luxury-salon price tag. Tucked between Washington Square Park and Union Square, it's become a go-to for precision cuts and dimensional color at a fraction of what the city's marquee names charge, no compromise on the finish.
Grab your $69 pulse (a $140 value) for a Women's Haircut & Blow Out. Split ends: gone. Whether you're after crisp French bangs, a shaggy bob, or a clean-up of your go-to shape, precision is the whole point here.
Go brighter with the $89 pulse (a $220 value) for Partial Highlights & A Blow Out. Foils will be placed exactly where they'll do the most work, for a lit-from-within finish.
Level up with the $119 pulse (a $320 value) for Half Head Highlights & A Blow Out. Think just-back-from-the-beach dimension, sun-kissed, not overdone, with foils placed to flatter your features.
Go all-in with the $169 pulse (a $520 value) for a Full Head of Highlights & Blow Out, OR Balayage & Blow Out. This is the full reset. Think natural, multidimensional color that carries you straight into summer.
Every visit comes with complimentary refreshments and the use of product from Kérastase and Oribe. Because the VIP treatment shouldn't be optional...
Tucked into the impossibly perfect stretch between Union Square and Washington Square Park, WS Hairstyling feels like a secret hiding in plain sight. It's chic, low-key, and exactly why regulars keep coming back.
The salon is led by founder and Master Stylist Steve Layman, whose path from Queens to Manhattan shaped a style that's equal parts classic technique and modern instinct. He opened the doors in 2000, relocated to NYC in 2011, and has since built a team that matches his standards. We're talking technically sharp, and just as tuned in to what makes each client's hair theirs.
Personalization is the whole approach. Whether it's a precision cut, dimensional highlights, or seamlessly blended balayage, every service gets the same close attention, the kind that makes a salon visit feel more like a bespoke experience. The team works exclusively with elite lines like Oribe and Kérastase, so the result isn't just good-looking, it's genuinely healthy hair.
The space itself splits the difference between polished and welcoming. Picture modern interiors, a complimentary drink in hand, and a level of care that turns a haircut into an actual reset. Come for the color, stay for the whole experience, and walk out ready to take on the city...

"I had the best experience! My highlights have never looked this good. My hair looks so healthy, shiny, and the color is absolutely perfect — bright but still natural and blended beautifully. The shade complemented my skin perfectly. And the blowout? AMAZING. The perfect smooth, bouncy blowout that lasted and made my hair feel so luxurious. Highly recommend if you want gorgeous, healthy highlights and the perfect finish!"
