Shampoo Avenue B ★9.5

Shampoo Avenue B — hair salon in the East Village

Shampoo Avenue B has stood on Avenue B, between Houston and 2nd, since 2006. Built to feel like a natural part of the neighborhood, it’s an inclusive, budget-friendly salon with a lively, talented team and a tiered structure that pairs every client with the right level of stylist.

Services

A focused hair menu — men’s and women’s cutting, highlights, balayage and foilayage, and keratin smoothing treatment — with blowouts and styling to finish.

Technology & brands

Color work centers on highlights, balayage and foilayage, with a keratin treatment for in-salon smoothing. Tools and stations are kept clean and hygienic between clients.

Team & masters

The salon runs on a lively, talented team spanning a range of experience levels, so newer stylists and seasoned pros are both on the floor — and pricing follows the stylist’s level rather than a flat rate, letting clients pick the tier that suits them.

The Space

An easygoing East Village room on Avenue B that leans into its neighborhood roots — inclusive, unpretentious and welcoming to a wide range of budgets, with a rewards program for regulars.

Who it’s for

For East Village locals who want a good cut or color close to home, clients after balayage or keratin smoothing, and anyone who values an inclusive salon with flexible, tiered pricing.
