Astor Place Hairstylists

The hairstyling and barber services at Astor Place Hair are some of the least expensive in the city, with prices starting in the very low two digits. Astor has been family-owned since 1947, with clientele coming from all over the city. Today, it’s an institution. The cavernous space weaves its way around hair cutting station after station, each labeled with a stylist’s name and decorated with inspiring fashion magazine photos and more than a few celebrity-client headshots. Services start at the basic—shampoo, haircut, blow-dry—and go on up to perms, color, braiding and even extensions and Japanese straightening.
