John Barrett Salon

Known for innovation and leadership, John has again created something amazing. After being the leader in luxury hair for the last twenty-three years, Barrett has created the most exciting salon New York has seen in many years. A loft-like space packed with art, books, and of course, talent. “After so many years in the business I knew what worked and what didn’t. We see the most sophisticated clients and I wanted to ensure their comfort in a WOW space, offering the very best in hair care, beauty, and beyond. We also offer the finest selection of jewelry and other interesting curated pieces.”

The fifth in a family of ten, John grew up in a modest household in Limerick, Ireland. He moved to London as a teenager in the mid-1970s, and became a hairdressing apprentice; his natural flair advanced him quickly. In the late 1980s, Barrett moved to Los Angeles for several years, where he began to meet and befriend the actresses and fashion editors who would later make him famous.

After another stint back in London, he moved to New York in the early 1990s. In 1996, Barrett opened his first Salon.

While he has studiously avoided creating anything that could be called a “signature cut,” John strives to give all his clients the same thing: a clean, warm, modern look that melds the glamour and grace of uptown with the youth and vitality of downtown. It’s the perfect formula, one that allows every woman to express herself easily, naturally and beautifully.

And yes, he does it for men, too.
