About

Forsyth Salon was founded by Kentaroh Sumida and Joseph Mullen, who have been long-time friends and collaborators in the hair industry. The salon is on Forsyth Street in downtown Manhattan. According to the salon, its name means a place of peace in Gaelic.

The salon says it aims for comfort, restraint in design and an unpretentious attitude toward beauty. The interior has mid-century touches and nature-inspired design, and the salon says everyone is welcome. Herbal teas are served.

A visit starts with a consultation, where the stylist listens to what the client needs. The team is described as seasoned stylists and colorists focused on clean technique, mindful communication and elevated results. Clients leave with guidance on styling and caring for their hair at home until the next appointment. Appointments can be booked through the online booking page, by phone or by email.

The salon uses carefully selected products and works with sustainable product partners. Hair masks are an add-on that must be booked with a haircut or blowout. Smoothing treatments and the Japanese straightener both start with an in-person consultation, and scalp treatments can be booked on their own or added to a hair appointment. The salon is closed on Mondays, open Tuesday to Friday from 11:00 am to 7:00 pm, and open Saturday and Sunday from 12:00 pm to 7:00 pm.

Each visit begins with a consultation and ends with home-care and styling guidance, with a focus on clean technique and clear communication. Products are chosen with the planet and environment in mind.

Mid-century details and nature-inspired design shape the interior.
