Bergdorf Braid Bar

Recently my friend Ali and I wanted to get our hair done for an event and we weren't sure where to go for the perfect look. We called multiple salons and to get your hair done {even in a simple bun} was 150 dollars plus. Ali remembered that she had seen that the John Barrett Salon at Bergdorf Goodman offered what was called the Braid Bar. We called and booked appointments and were told it would $45 dollars each and to arrive with dry hair.

When we arrived we were each given a look book of various types of braids that the salon offered. This gave us both a general idea of what we were looking for but both of the women who helped us tested out some ideas as well.

Ali worked with Halli {see her on the Martha Stewart show here!} and I worked with Taka and we both ended up with hairstyles we loved. Halli and Taka made sure our hair was secure and that we both left with exactly what we wanted.

I couldn't even imagine attempting to do what Taka did to my hair on my own and it was such an easy hairstyle with no fuss. I highly recommend going to the braid bar at John Barrett and will definitely be back. For $45 I ended up with a fantastic look that lasted beyond just the night of the event. I was able to wear my hair in the braids for another day and a half.

If you are looking for an elegant hairstyle the John Barrett Braid Bar is definitely the place to go in NYC. I can't wait to try a new style the next time I return.
