About

PHS has operated since 2008 as a neighborhood salon on the Upper West Side, at 405 Amsterdam Avenue between 79th and 80th Streets. The salon says it aims to create looks that suit each client's own personal style rather than a single house look.

The space is furnished with vintage pieces and found objects, which the salon says reflect the owner's taste.

Services cover haircuts for adults, men and children under 11, blowouts and updos, Japanese straight perms, a range of color work from toners and glosses through balayage, highlights and double process color, several keratin and moisture treatments, and extensions, which are priced after a consultation.
