"As we have celebrated our 4th anniversary this September 4, it is a great time to reflect on our journey so far. From very humble beginnings to what is fast becoming a New York staple hair salon. Thanks to all our clients new and old, it has been your continued commitment that has enabled us to grow at such a rapid pace.

We started off this year with the launch of our new color studio, which quickly became a big success. We hope that you enjoy it as much as we do and invite you to visit it again soon.

As we continue to push forward, we deliver this news section, keeping you, our clients, updated on all things new and noteworthy. Here you can read about lots of new and exciting things from how you can receive a free service to new merchandise, trends and more.

Look for continued changes in the years to come as we drive forward with continued momentum, building for the future and welcoming you happily into our home.

WHAT NOT TO WEAR

Look out for 15 new and exciting episodes this season. Don’t miss the special episode; Wannabees, and see how Nick judges the future of makeover stars.

Also look out for our makeover stylists this fall in tv-shows like Queer Eye for the Straight Guy and magazines such as Red Book, American Salon and Flair Magazine.

WEB SAVVY

Our new website is liquid.

We offer easily accessible links, short, sharp text, front-running features, inviting images and dynamic design. All coming together to define who we are and what we do.

The re-design allows the website to expand organically. Displaying, as we grow, our brand, our image and, most importantly, our work.

Arrojo images are getting stronger too. Now, with increased versatility, the images look great on all screens, large or small. Pull your browser window and the site shapes itself to fill your screen.

We give clients, hair professionals and interested parties a real feeling and insight for our work. Let’s ignite and inspire. We employ technology to do this through our craft.

In the future the site will continue to change. New features will pop up; on line appointments and retail development are already in the pipeline. Media rich is the goal. We can celebrate when the website becomes an inspirational resource for the industry, creating ambition, providing tools, raising standards.

Arrojostudio.com is a design to reflect a meeting of function and form.

NEW TALENT FOCUS

Fresh, funky and full of fervor the Academy Team will shape the future of hairdressing. These rising stars are the most recent graduates from the 18-month Arrojo training program. To aid their development, they take weekly classes focused on strengthening their creative edge and boosting personal style.

Currently featured in the Academy Team is Chuck. Chucks' soft mannered approach makes him a winner with clients. His personality influences his cutting style too. With an organic, flowing structure to his hairdressing, his individual flair has spiraled through inspiring work on editorials and photo shoots.

The Academy brings insight and ideas to Arrojo. Education lets them take ownership of everything they do.

Keep visiting for upcoming monthly features of our team.

Arrojo merchandise is a burgeoning arm of the business. We see value in Arrojo Products that can strengthen our identity as people who deliver quality with originality and style. We are moving forward to offer Arrojo Styling Tools such as brushes, flat irons, blow dryers and more. This product line is inspired by the insight that the client can utilize, at home, the same devices we use in the salon. We give you great hair, every day. Working alongside this, we will have a series of quality cutting tools aimed towards professionals, for hairdressers who want to identify themselves with the beliefs we hold.

With our interest in fashion we now have a number of limited edition T-shirts. Signature tees by designer Obscurity, with inspiration from their own existing collection blended with our fall/winter 05 concepts - strong, bold and edgy.

Look for more Arrojo merchandise in our retail store as well as our soon to come, online store!

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING.

Voted top 10 salon on citysearch.com, best Salon on salondaily.com and top salon on interhair.com.

“From the second I walked into Arrojo I felt spoiled, I was given immediate attention. Lina did the entire cut by razor, asking me every step of the way how I liked it, and if I was okay (she cut off quite a few inches and gave me bangs-pretty big change). I felt comfortable the entire time. A cut that has gotten me TONS of compliments in just a few days, even from perfect strangers. This cut is worth EVERY PENNY”

“I’ve been searching for a stylist that will listen to me and give me a great cut that lasts -- and I finally found one -- Amanda at Arrojo! She consulted with me about my hair and what I wanted, took her time with the cut and spent about 10 minutes teaching me how to style it on my own. She was great and I walked out of the salon feeling fabulous! Everyone I encountered there was friendly, accommodating and just REAL. I had a great experience and am grateful to the Citysearch reviews that led me to Arrojo!”

“I just moved to New York and badly needed my hair cut and colored. The people at Arrojo Studio are awesome, totally down to earth, and know their hair. One of the friendliest places I have ever been and now I have the best hair color I have ever had!”

This kind of first time response is very important to us. Not because we want inflated egos but because we know coming to a new hair salon for the first time is a big deal for most people. You’re giving us trust as we take responsibility for your appearance. When we hear of your happiness at the end result it makes our day!

As your feedback also help us to improve our services and environment, please contact us with any suggestions or comments at feedback@arrojostudio.com.

Tim is our new Make Up Artist, providing applications and lessons here at the studio. “Applications are great for people who want to look their absolute best on any given day or for special events. Secondly, the hour long step by step instruction on how to apply your make up, allows people to take control of their own application”.
