New York New York Hair Salon — a Redken Platinum salon in Riverside South

New York New York is a long-established hair salon serving Riverside South and the communities along the river south of the city. It carries Redken Platinum status, given to salons whose colourists commit to ongoing advanced education, and it leans into that reputation — the house line is that “okay” is not in its vocabulary, and the work on show is confident colour rather than safe trims. Clients tend to stay with the same stylist for years.

Services

The menu runs across cuts and styling, the full range of colour — all-over colour, highlights, balayage, glossing and toning, and colour correction — conditioning and bond treatments, hair extensions, and wedding and occasion hair. Blow-dries and finishing are included.

Technology and brands

Redken is the backbone of the colour and care offer, supported by L’Oréal Professionnel, with amika and Evo for styling and everyday care. For smoothing, the salon works with Cezanne, a formaldehyde-free system that suits clients who want frizz control without the fumes of older keratin treatments. Redken Platinum standing means technique is refreshed through ongoing education, and tools and colour stations are sanitized between clients.

Team and stylists

The salon is owner-operated with a small, stable team of stylists and colourists, several at the same chairs for many years. That continuity is the point: a colourist who has followed the same head of hair for seasons knows how it lifts, holds tone and grows, so a result is repeatable rather than a gamble.

The Space

The salon sits in the Rivergate part of Riverside South, in a suburban setting with free parking at the door. It is calm and unhurried — bookings are spaced so the room never becomes a conveyor belt, with time for a proper consultation. For south-end clients it removes the downtown parking problem entirely.

Who it’s for

Residents of Riverside South, Barrhaven, Manotick and the surrounding south end; brides and wedding parties; anyone with frizz wanting a gentler smoothing option; and clients who want strong colour close to home.
