Preening

Another Health and beauty shop tucked into the grit-and-glam mix of West SoHo: Preening. The storefront sits at 175 Varick St, New York, NY 10014, right where couriers and creatives collide.

Haircuts lean sharp and fast; highlights stay crisp and predictable. Eyebrow grooming isn’t an afterthought here—wax, tint, and thread sit at eye level. Nails come in quiet metallic sheens, and tiny vials of serums sit beside the register for those who need to top off.

Ring once for availability: (347) 470-1077.

Too easy to miss unless you’re headed up Varick or cutting through the block—grab the directions before you hit the curb.
