Barbieri Hair

Barbieri Hair was founded by Joshua Barbieri, a master color and stylist. The business describes itself as a micro salon, working from a space with two styling chairs and no waiting area. It has stated plans to open ten micro salons across New York City.

The salon's philosophy is that hair expresses individuality and that its work should bring out natural beauty. Five stated values guide the business: anticipation, training, relationships, unity and efficiency. Stylists are trained in shape first, then color theory, then finish and style, with ongoing education alongside master stylists. The business says every stylist is trained to work at a high level across shape, color and style.

Clients can book online or by phone and can arrange a consultation before a service. Keratin and restorative treatments are offered, adjusted to a range of hair types and textures. Cancellations or changes need at least 24 hours' notice to avoid a fee.

Mobile hair services are available around the clock in Manhattan, at homes, hotels and event venues. They cover weddings, galas, fashion shoots and private events, and can be arranged by text or phone.

The salon uses professional-grade products and sells its own Whizkid Hair scalp treatment and styling mist, formulated at the salon. The line is infused with Palma Rosa, cardamom and mandarin, is labeled clean, vegan, cruelty free, sulfate free and made in USA, and is sold in the salon and online.

Hair is treated as an expression of the individual, with the aim of enhancing its natural beauty. Stylists build their training from shape through color theory to finish and style.
