Described as “dynamic” by Vanity Fair Magazine and as “an intimate gem of a salon” by Vogue, the much-lauded Yves Durif Salon has been nestled on the 3rd Floor of The Carlyle since 2008. Founded by celebrity hairstylist, Yves Durif, this glamorous and inviting full-service Salon offers clients a wide menu of luxury services, six days a week: cut, color, makeup, conditioning treatments, extensions, manicure/pedicure, bridal and event styling. It is also home to the Yves Durif Essentials Product Line – featuring Yves’ iconic Comb and Brushes, cult favorites of the beauty industry.
Tailor-made service in a modernized art deco setting: From the bright and airy Cutting Room, the cozy Color Lab, or to the exclusive VIP space in the Salon Privé, guests will find a highly personalized experience with Yves and his team of world-class Stylists. All clients are viewed holistically - taking into account features and face shape as well as lifestyle - in order to emphasize the best of each individual. At the Yves Durif Salon, the intention is to craft the perfect balance between Cut, Color and Makeup, with the aim of enhancing the clients’ best features. The goal is not to just produce a Haircut -- but to deliver a Hairstyle.
Superior products: To aid in a client’s transformation, only the best products are on hand: L'Oréal's top-performing product line, Shu Uemura and Sisley Paris’ new and innovative Hair Rituel line, for which Yves has developed a luxurious treatment, exclusive to the Salon. For makeup, Makeup Artist Gucci Westman has developed the high quality and innovative Westman Atelier Line, which is offered and skillfully applied by Yves’ exclusive In House Makeup Artist.
Prestige and privacy: As the Salon of choice for such high profile names as Mika Brzezinski, Joe Scarborough, Daphne Guinness, Amy Fine Collins, Neil Young and Cassandra Grey, amongst many others not named because their privacy is honored, the Yves Durif Salon at The Carlyle is a tastemaker’s haven. Amidst Yves’ personal collection of black and white Burt Glinn images of Hollywood stars like Elizabeth Taylor and Brigitte Bardot, guests will find a luxurious retreat where everyone is a VIP.
