April Barton’s Suite 303 Chelsea Hotel, 222 W. 23rd St., Ste. 3 (7th & 8th Aves.)
Chelsea
212.633.1011
The Chelsea Hotel remains a haven for the hip, and April Barton’s Suite 303 hair salon is the perfect fit. Barton focuses on what’s new and mixes it in with a little rock ‘n’ roll nostalgia. April Barton can transform anyone into a hipster—and even if you’re not a model, actor, or rock star, you can have the opportunity to walk in and offer up your hair for a transformation. Since 1997, this salon has helped many go from a bad “before” to a glorious “after.” Opt for layered choppy cuts or highlights to frame your face and over-sized sunglasses. It’s worth it to let April do her thing—after all, if she’s good enough for Adrien Brody and Avril Lavigne, she’s good enough for you.
Insider Tip: In true rock star form, Barton’s doesn’t open until noon and is closed Sundays and Mondays.
