AR Hair Salon — hair salon in Chelsea

AR Hair Salon on West 21st Street was founded by a team of skillful stylists and takes on the artistic feel of its Chelsea neighborhood. It’s a full-service hair salon that pairs everyday cuts with serious color and smoothing work, and starts new guests with a walk-in consultation.

Services

The menu covers cutting for adults and children, shampoo and blow-dry with flat- or curl-iron finishing, single-process color, partial and full highlights, glaze, and balayage. Chemical services run deep — keratin smoothing, chemical straightening, thermal reconditioning, permanent and body waves — alongside deep conditioning treatments and bridal hair.

Technology & brands

Treatments draw on Olaplex bond-building, Moroccanoil and L’Oréal Série Expert care, while smoothing and straightening span keratin systems and thermal reconditioning. Tools and stations are kept clean between clients.

Team & masters

Founded and run by a team of skilled stylists rather than a single celebrity name, AR leans on all-round strength across cutting, color and chemical smoothing, with free consultations to plan bigger transformations.

The Space

The Chelsea salon takes its cue from the gallery-district streets around it — an artistic, easygoing room rather than a formal downtown showroom.

Who it’s for

For Chelsea locals who want a reliable cut and color, clients after keratin smoothing or straightening, and families needing everything from a children’s cut to bridal hair.
