Our Story
At river salon, we’ve created a quiet retreat from everyday life. Come, get comfortable, enjoy a cup of tea, and we’ll take care of the rest.
Why river?
river salon, where the essence of being and the flow of water converge in a tranquil environment crafted with care. In naming this space, I reflected on the importance of my clients, their stories, and the transformative journey we've shared over two decades in the hair industry.
Just as ontology explores the nature of being, I find inspiration in understanding how people live and exist. This fascination led me to the calming and ever-flowing nature of water, particularly embodied by a river.
Step into a space designed to evoke calm and peace, where river salon invites you to discover serenity and embark on your own transformative journey, because physical change often mirrors the internal change. Immerse yourself in our hidden sanctuary in Brooklyn—a quiet, calm space rooted in movement, growth, and exceptional customer care. Unwind from the daily grind and experience the unwavering dedication to your well-being and self-care at river salon.
