Iris Marlowe

A small salon on the Lower East Side. Brass mirrors, lavender chairs, five people who are very good at hair.

Meet the five

Most salons ask what service you want. We ask who you want to sit with, because the person matters more than the menu.

Pick your
person first.

Each stylist is best at something specific. Start with the one who matches your hair, and book straight from their card.
