Lower East Side
917.472.5390
It’s hard to believe that the Lower East Side could get any more hipster-cool, but it did with this trendy salon. Go to Arena if you’re looking for a new style and a hair color that will have you starting new trends in no time. Rena Anastazi knows hair, and she knows what her clients want. With a loyal following, this personal salon promises to provide genuinely good service while dispensing honest advice based on what you actually want. For more than a decade, Arena has been the go-to salon for downtown hair and their claim to fame is creating envious highlights and lowlights while working within your natural base color. This cozy salon is completely unpretentious and exactly what we love about Orchard Street.
Insider Tip: If you’re low on cash, book an appointment with one of the junior stylists—no one will be able to tell the difference.
