History
Born from the extreme customer demand for appointments with Ouidad and her team of curl gurus, the new Ouidad Salon meets the needs of present and future clientele. With curls becoming more popular each season, Ouidad is (and has been for over 30 years) helping women and men alike to understand and care for their curly locks. Her patented Carving & Slicing techniques are not only well known to industry professionals, but are asked for by name by clients at Ouidad Certified salons across the country. The 5,000 square foot, bright, airy salon has the feel of a Soho-loft and overlooks chic 57th Street from the fourth floor. The decor is draped in earth toned hues and adorned with modern features such as faux-snakeskin couches, custom walnut floors and theatrically lit wall sconces, giving a relaxed, serene feel to the contemporary.
Specialties
For more that 30 years Ouidad has been studying, treating, styling and educating curly-haired clients in her Manhattan (and now Santa Monica) salons. Her years of hands-on experience with every imaginable curl type led to the development of an award winning product line and the creation of trademarked cutting and styling techniques for which her salons are now known.
