CLOVE HAIR SALON - New York, New York

Joy Reines

Everything about the experience at Clove is 5 stars. The space is beautiful and welcoming and Alex makes magic happen! My hair always comes out looking incredible and healthy after his cut and color. I also get the Cezanne smoothing treatment once a year which is life changing.

A few other things I appreciate about the salon that have been lacking elsewhere:
- They are super organized! It’s easy to get in touch via email and make/change appointments.
- Alex is always on time… But never feels rushed.
- Alex listens and helps you look your best every time. <3

I've been to Clove twice so far (my usual haircut cadence being once or twice a year) - the first being my first cut since moving to NYC, which turned out to be my favorite haircut of all time! I came in with an idea ("half-mullet, half-long") and Alex delivered above and beyond my imagination. I was originally looking for a salon that handles curly hair well (I have very dense, fine-ish hair that is super springy in some parts, smooth in others) and Alex did a wonderful job reading my hair's direction and giving me styling ideas for the curly long side. The second time I went for the exact same cut because I liked it so much, and Alex knew how to read his own cutting well. I also really like the Aveda product smells (very gentle but pleasant) and sustainability efforts! Everyone at the salon is also very nice and the overall vibe is welcoming & safe - would definitely recommend and go again.

Clove is my single favorite hair appointment in all of New York City. I have been seeing Giovanna and Alex for years because something about the way they cut my hair just cannot be replicated elsewhere. I am someone who opts for a simple blunt cut and you would think that a cut like that should be universal and something I could get at Supercuts, but seeing Giovanna has completely convinced me otherwise. She understands that it’s not just about the number of inches off the hair— she understands the importance of how you want your hair to feel and fall across your shoulders. She also is incredibly patient and respects the sensitivity people have around learning what the right amount to cut off is. I have never once left the salon wishing I hadn’t let her convince me what would be the right amount. She always knows what’s right and always has the clients best interest at heart while respecting the sensitivity people have around trying to maintain length while prioritizing hair health.
In addition to the perfect haircut, the experience at clove is one of pure relaxation. The calming vibe of the salon, nestled on quiet Ave b, and the selection of refreshments and Aveda products instantly put me at ease. I dream of the shampoo bowl where Giovanna and Alex really work their magic lathering the incredibly scented Aveda line and administering a head massage that lets me turn my brain off and bliss out. I love it so much and wish everyone could experience luxury like this.
Clove salon is kind and warm and always responsive, making sure everyone can get an appointment. I continue to remain loyal for both the quality of service and quality of people.

The most kind and welcoming staff. My cut looks amazing and it is exactly what I wanted. My stylist really considered what I wanted and what would look best on me. I absolutely recommend coming here and I will definitely be back! ?

I’ve been getting my haircut by Alex Torres for several years now. He is attentive and caters to my personal needs. I always have a great experience and his work is impeccable. I don’t go often and he knows I expect my cut to grow out nicely and last a while. He does an excellent job. The salon is very comfortable and nice.

I've been a happy client of Giovanna's for many years, and adore the chic, warmly glamorous haven that is Clove! The salon team as a whole is efficient, friendly, cool and kind. Giovanna is a master at her craft and I consider myself very lucky to put my hair in her hands. I'm delighted with my cut and color every time, and am already looking forward to my next appointment.

Giovanna has been cutting my hair for 8 years! Clove was very clean and I felt safe going in to get my hair cut. The team was great, very professional and inviting. Giovanna has helped me repair my damaged ends from too much heat and grow my hair out long. The music was great, and the environment at Clove was so relaxing, perfect for a Sunday! I was able to stock up on all the Aveda products that I needed and booked my next appointment on the spot!
