My Beauty Salon

Salons cluster thick along 122nd. My Beauty Salon slots into the second floor at 212 E 122nd St #2, a block where East Harlem’s weekday buzz slows just enough for a trim or color. The neighborhood still carries the quiet rhythm of pre-war tenements, so an appointment here feels less like an errand and more like a pause in the day’s usual hurry.

You can book a cut, blow-dry, keratin treatment, or a set of box braids; the menu also lists waxing and lash extensions for anyone looking to streamline their routine. Because the space is compact, slots fill quickly—calling ahead is the only way to secure a chair. The address puts you steps from the 6 train and a handful of bodegas, so grabbing coffee or a sandwich afterward is never a hassle.

When you’re ready to lock in a time, weave (914) 800-4244 into your calendar. Directions are on the map, but most locals just walk up from the subway and count the storefronts. If the sidewalk’s crowded, you’re probably in the right place.
