David Mallett New York — Local services in New York

I chose this salon after seeing an influencer I follow recommend it. Immediately upon entering the very tight reception (it’s basically a hallway) a front desk attendant who clearly doesn’t care if I live or die takes my name, jacket and bag and puts me in a smock while acting like it’s the worst job in the world.

The part of the salon where you get your cut, is just an open room where everyone is on top of each other, stylists bumping into one another packed in like sardines. Even New York standards, it’s small. At one point my stylist could not move because a woman was just standing and talking to, who I know now, was David Mallett himself.

My stylist was fine. Although I felt slighted and insulted by him as well, at least he was kind of subtle about it. My hair cut is fine. But what was so disappointing was the overall experience. I was expecting something really great, and I left the space not only wishing I had packed a hat because my hair was styled so poorly, but I left that place feeling even worse about myself as a person than when I went in. I clearly did not fit in the space. I did not feel welcomed.

Perhaps that’s the vibe David is trying to give off. Maybe that’s the French way? Maybe I should just feel lucky that I even got a haircut there at all. But even the next day, I still feel bad about this. I guess I learned my lesson, and I won’t believe everything I see...

This is my new favorite best hair salon in NYC. I'd been carrying the same hair style for years but I recently got bored of the same and besides that it was a high maintenance look for my busy city life.

Thank god! Etienne #david-mallet @ thewebster gave me a great, wonderful new look and very easy to style it my self at home.

I was so happy with my new hair cut that I decided to give them a try for color as well so, I went back to see them and my hair never looked so healthy and shiny after their amazing colorist "Anthony" @davidmallet put his hands on my head.

Always looking forward to go back to pamper myself in this amazing salon. The space is so chic, well designed and in addition to that Mario, at the front desk will take great care of you, either with a couple of great tea, water or the best tips for #dinning in NYC or-in case you are flying to Paris the next day-He'll tell you the best new places where you could go to show off your "new great look" at the Parisian city. I'm so thrilled this salon is now in...

If you have blonde hair and are looking for highlights or color, do NOT come here—especially to Lionel. While the salon itself is beautiful and Lionel is very kind, he completely butchered my hair coloring. I specifically asked for something that would blend nicely and grow out well, but what I got was the streakiest, most careless coloring I’ve ever seen.

The pictures I’m attaching were taken the day after the appointment, and you can clearly see there’s zero blending. There’s a harsh line where the color starts, making it look completely unnatural. I can’t even pull my hair back because on the sides near my ears, the coloring starts about half an inch from my scalp—it’s blatantly obvious and sloppy.

Oh, and to top it off, this cost me $530 with tip. An outrageous amount for such a terrible, careless job. I’m now going to another salon to get it fixed, but I’m incredibly disappointed that I spent so much money here for such...
