A New Yorker’s Vision: Our Intelligent Approach to Hair with a Personal Touch

Twenty-eight  years ago, Robert Stuart had the idea that quality hairstyling need not be in the domain of the arrogant and the pretentious.

Tired of the “scene” from his years working on 57th Street, in 1983 he opened his first full-service hair salon on Amsterdam Avenue at 82nd Sreet, an Upper West Side neighborhood known more for Zabar’s and psychotherapists than cutting-edge fashion and hair salons.

Since he lived in this neighborhood, he understood very well what Upper West Siders wanted- a personalized style that is easy to maintain and would “grow in nicely”.

In the early 90′s, in the era of corporate mergers, Robert decided to do the opposite. He downsized into a boutique hair salon focusing on hair only and moved to 84th St. on Amsterdam Avenue. He felt that in an era of globalization, a service business like his could at least offer that “personal touch”. He wanted to provide an intelligent approach to hair in a friendly, non-threatening environment where every client could trust that he and his staff understood their hair needs and could deliver uncompromising results.

Now, after 28 years on Amsterdam Avenue, the Robert Stuart Salon has moved and expanded to our new home on 461 Columbus Avenue on the northeast corner of 82nd St. on a landmark avenue one block north of the Museum of Natural History and one block west of beautiful Central Park. Intelligent hairdressing is still Robert’s goal, which he has instilled within his team of  New York City’s most talented and dedicated hair stylists.

We pride ourselves on paying careful consideration to each client’s hair texture, bone structure, lifestyle, and profession as we believe that hair is not “one look fits all”.  All of our hair products used and retailed are hand-picked for their ability to enhance the health and integrity of the hair and give our clients their desired style. Our loyal clientele keeps returning to The Robert Stuart Salon for the talent of our work as well as  the engaging conversation and dedication to customer service.

Dop Dop Salon

Though you’d never know it from its modest facade, this 3,700-square-foot, two-story former tap-dance studio is home to twenty-one stylists, nine assistants, and fifteen cutting chairs—though a chop shop it most certainly is not. Named after a popular fifties- and sixties-era French children’s shampoo, the salon was founded in 1996 by veteran hair stylist and international portfolio artist Jo Blackwell-Preston, who sought to create a relaxed, sophisticated-yet-edgy environment of multicultural hair artistry. Whether you’re a Long Island housewife or an international rock star, the salon promises an egalitarian safe harbor for all. Considered one of the top corrective-color salons in New York, Dop Dop also employs the highly detailed wet/dry cutting technique and offers customized deep-conditioning treatments by Kérastase, Redken, and L’Oréal. Since half of its stylists are national educators, teaching the latest in cut and color techniques to salons throughout the US, the rest of Dop D

Medium hairstyles

Surprise Pops of Color Winter is a great time to play with rich hues by adding a few pops of jewel toned highlights. How to Style: 1. Apply smoothing cream to towel dried hair. 2. Blow dry with a paddle brush to achieve maximum smoothness. 3. Use a flat iron to smooth any unruly locks and give layers around your face a subtle bend on the ends. Product Recommendation: A good shampoo and conditioner are the foundation to any style (you wouldn’t build a house on a shaky foundation, would you?). Since the air is drier during the winter months, make sure to nurse your locks with extra hydration. I recommend Onesta’s Hydrating Shampoo & Moisture Balance Conditioner. Face Shape and Hair Density:  This style is great for any face shape and for medium to thick densities. I’ll Take My Waves On The Side Take one look at the red carpet and you’ll find almost every actress is loving the side swept look. How to Style: 1. Starting with clean dry hair, curl hair vertically. 2. Allo
