Only healthy hair is beautiful.

Vasken Salon is the award-winning atelier of master colorist Vasken Demirjian — a former antiquities dealer who traded London galleries for the art of hair color. For him, hair is an intellectual and artistic pursuit: an eye trained on bronze, marble and pigment, turned to the most personal canvas of all.

Our specialists partner with L'Oréal Professionnel, Kérastase, Oribe and K18 to deliver color, cuts and treatments of uncompromising quality — in a salon designed as a clean white sheet of paper, the perfect backdrop for the work.

The Philosophy

“The salon is a presentation of fashion and art — and a luxury level of care.”

— Vasken Demirjian

I

Fashion

Hair as the finishing line of how you dress, move and present yourself — current, considered, never generic. Recognised by Fashion Group International, not only by the hair world.

II

Art

An eye trained on ancient bronze and marble, turned to tone, light and dimension. Every color is composed, not applied — a portrait painted strand by strand.

III

Care

Only healthy hair is beautiful. Kérastase rituals, ammonia-free color and unhurried attention from consultation to the final blowout — a luxury level of care, every visit.

Personalized Color

by Vasken Demirjian

Color is where the salon began. Every service opens with a complimentary consultation — your lifestyle, your light, the way you wear your hair — before a single shade is mixed. Balayage painted by hand, highlights placed where the sun would fall, corrections that restore what was intended.

Cut & Style

by our master stylists

Precision cuts drawn to the architecture of your face. Blowouts with movement and polish. Brazilian blowouts and keratin for lasting smoothness, and bespoke styling for brides and the evenings that matter.

The Consultation

the first step

Before anything else, a conversation. Your colorist studies your hair's health, history and goals to design a look that is entirely yours — because only healthy hair is beautiful.

The Salon

A clean white sheet of paper.

The salon was built never to over-design. Thousands of tubular lampshades hang overhead, softening sound into calm. Valentino-red linen drums glow above every station. White Corian, Spanish porcelain — and nothing to distract from the work.

In their own words

Client reviews.

I am a long-time, loyal customer of Vasken Salon. My home base is now in RI having re-located from Westchester in 2014. I make the trip down regularly as I am unwilling to put my head in any other hands. This is a splendid place with exceptional, skillful people.

5 / 5 Stars

Elizabeth Hecht

Pleasant experience. Very satisfied with both cut and color. A bit too much of a wait between color and cut. Hairstylist commented that appointments were booked too far apart (??).

5 / 5 Stars

Lori Brescia
