About

The studio is at 300 W 55th St, Suite 11 C, in Midtown Manhattan. Fred Stepkin states 25+ years of hairstyling experience. Hours are by appointment only, and booking requests come through a contact form that Fred reviews personally.

A visit starts with a consultation about the hair's features, texture, daily styling habits and lifestyle. Before cutting, Fred looks at the density, growth pattern and natural fall of the hair. The aim is a shape that grows out cleanly and keeps its structure over several weeks. The studio describes its cuts as luxury cuts and each one as an individual design rather than a template.

Women's services include precision layered cuts, soft long layers, medium-length shaping, razor texturing, curly hair sculpting, shape correction from previous cuts and natural movement-focused styling. Men's options include layered medium cuts, textured scissor cuts, natural side-swept styles and soft tapering around the neckline. Children and teenagers are also welcome, with cuts priced by age, and bangs can be trimmed on their own.

Curly hair is cut in its natural curl formation, with weight removed strategically and excessive thinning avoided. Men's curly cuts shape the sides and neckline while leaving enough length for curls to develop. The studio's Google reviews are shown on the site as rated Excellent, based on 22 reviews.

Each cut is shaped around the individual's hair, features and lifestyle rather than a fixed template, and Fred handles every appointment directly with no handoffs to other stylists.

A quiet, minimalist studio where each appointment is handled individually.
