Leo Chau

"Leo is the best hairstylist I've had! He has an amazing knowledge of everything about hair from health to aesthetics. The first time I saw him I wanted to balayage my hair but Leo suggested I wait a few months since I had some leftover dyed and permed hair and he wanted to minimize damage. Nevertheless, I ended up leaving with a beautifully natural haircut that grew out super well too. I just got a balayage done with Leo today and words cannot describe how obsessed I am with my hair!!!! The color is so naturally blended and better than I could ever imagine and it helps that he takes amazing photos of your hair afterwards too :) I loved especially that both times I gave him a rough idea of what I wanted and he used his deep understanding of hair artistry to choose what would look best on me based on factors such as my skin tone and hair texture (and he talks through it beforehand with you!) Usually I need to give stylists more pointers of what I want and I am an indecisive person so I find that difficult, so it's amazing that he can choose for me and deliver a beautiful end result. I actually first contacted Leo last year but ended up going to another place as he had a long waitlist, but he is well worth the wait! Thank you Leo for giving me such gorgeous hair!!!"

"Leo is truly a master of hair craft! He spent 4 hours on my hair from cut to color, explaining his process throughout. I’ve never seen anyone so meticulous and considerate about hair color - he even factored in seasonal changes that would affect my skin tone to determine the best long-term color for my hair. Needless to say, very satisfied with my experience. Will be returning to Leo as long as I live in the city :)"

"Leo cut my hair for a number of years until I left the city several years ago. I just moved back and I'm thrilled to be able to see him again. I have naturally wavy hair which I typically air dry and he gives a great cut that works well with my texture. I'm trying to hold off on color until I go more grey, but his coloring skills seem next level. Very natural but still super cool looking which is my jam."

"I can’t put into words how amazing my hair journey has been with Leo!!!!! He is extremely knowledgeable and never hesitates to answer any of your questions. He is delightful, kind and polite. He is able to determine your hair type, the best cut for you and even what colors will look good on you based on your skin tone. He goes as far as to plan it based on the seasons!!!! (We tend to be paler in the winter) I’ve been getting my hair cut from him since 2017 and color from 2018. We started with just color then progressed into balayage / lighter shades as the years went by. He wanted me to feel comfortable and happy with the gradual changes in the color! His clients are always his top priority. As for the color? I’ll let pictures speak for themselves!!! I am soo happy with the results each time and get compliments pretty much everywhere I go! Go see Leo and you will NOT be disappointed!!!!! P.S salon is clean and has a great ambiance for a relaxing hair day :)"

"I've been going to Leo for the past five years. Even though I moved away from New York, I still come back to visit. He is the best stylist I have ever had. He's passionate about his work, and it shows! He will always make my hair way better, more beautiful, and healthier than I expected! He truly knows hair more than anyone. He will suggest me style, cut, and color, according to my face shape, skin tone and even the season. I'm always blown away by the results. 100% recommend Leo to everyone!"
