Fashion & editorial

The fashion hair salon in Woodside

Sculptural cutting, editorial styling and fashion color from a creative director who spent fifteen years backstage at New York Fashion Week — four stops from Midtown, at Queens prices.

Shape first

A cut that holds its shape for three months.

Editorial cutting is not about being dramatic. It is about building a shape strong enough that it still reads as deliberate eight weeks later, when you have stopped styling it properly and it is raining.

Nadia cuts dry as often as wet, because that is how she can see what the hair actually does. The result tends to be less work at home, not more — which is the opposite of what people expect from the word "editorial".

  • Sculptural and architectural cuts, blunt lines, real weight
  • The precision bob the salon is best known for
  • Fashion color, vivids and bold blocking, with a consultation first
  • Runway, lookbook and press styling, in the studio or on location

Booking editorial work

Nadia takes a small number of editorial, campaign and press bookings each season — she keeps the number small deliberately, so the salon clients who have been with her for a decade do not lose their appointments to a shoot.

For a shoot enquiry, email the salon with the date, the call time, the location and a rough brief. She answers those herself, usually within a day.

Good to know

Questions we get asked

Do you take editorial and shoot bookings?
Yes. Nadia takes a limited number of editorial, lookbook and press bookings each season, on location or in the studio. Email the salon with the date, the call time and the brief and she will come back to you personally.
I am not a model — can I still book a fashion cut?
Of course, and most people who book one are not. A sculptural cut is simply a cut with a strong, deliberate shape. The consultation is about whether that shape suits your hair, your face and how much time you want to spend on it every morning.
Will a blunt bob work with my hair type?
Sometimes yes, sometimes emphatically no — density, texture and growth pattern all decide it. Nadia will tell you honestly at the consultation, and will usually suggest a variation that gets the same feeling with far less fighting.
Can you do vivid or fashion color?
Yes, with a consultation first. Vivids need healthy hair and a realistic conversation about fading and upkeep, so the consultation and the appointment are booked separately.
