You’re likely familiar with the name Vidal Sassoon—champion of the bob, creator of the “wedge,” not to mention personal stylist to Mary Quant, among other fashion and entertainment notables. If you’re less familiar with the brand’s Sassoon Salon in New York, that’s because it’s been tucked away on the second floor of Fifth Avenue’s Crown Building for the past decade. But starting today, Midtowners will become better acquainted with the landmark destination when it opens the doors of its new ground-floor digs around the corner at 7 W. 56th Street. Sassoon has hired Germany-based architects Frick und Frick to revamp its image with a series of minimalist, white-walled beauty havens that “whisper effortless sophistication.” In line with the Boston location’s reopening last month, the nearly 3,000-square-foot New York space features 25 styling stations, an open color bar where guests can witness the computerized formulation and subsequent hand-mixing of their customized dyes, lighting that has been designed to mimic natural daylight, and free Wi-Fi access—an amenity we think should be standard at all salons at this stage in the game. For more information or to book an appointment, call (212) 535-9200.
