New Establishments in Harlem

Harlem has always been known for its cutting edge fashion and sartorial elegance. Just walk down any Harlem block on any given Sunday and you will see everything from mink coat ensembles to hip hop inspired customized Uptowns. Harlem is home to fashion models, renowned designers, and artists, so it would stand to reason that high style is a second nature. However, it wasn't until recently that Harlem offered high-end styling options when it came to beauty treatments. While there are beauty salons that line all of the major avenues of the historic neighborhood, not one of them offered the upscale elegance of downtown establishments.

Enter, Bibi Salon. Bibi Salon is for the fashion-forward woman who doesn't have the time or patience to deal with the chaos and lack of customer service found in most neighborhood salons. Bibi Salon is the type of establishment that confirms your appointments, doesn't keep you waiting, and offers a choice of beverages while you are being serviced. All new clients receive a consultation and their profile is kept on file in the salon. Did we mention that Bibi Salon is professional?

The owner of the salon, Maisha Teacher, took a leap of faith opening her salon on up-and-coming Frederick Douglass Boulevard. Teacher, a 20-year veteran celebrity stylist, has worked in all of the major markets from the west coast to the east. Her dream was to open a salon in the fashion capital of the United State, New York city. After searching several locations, it was ultimately the lure of Empowerment Zone incentives, better rent prices, and the emergence of new luxury condominium developments along the bustling avenue that won her over.

The staff at Bibi Salon is trained to work with all hair types and exclusively uses PhytoSpecific products. The salon's tagline is the new salon for the new Harlem. In addition to hair styling and treatment, Bibi Salon offers organic manicures and pedicures using Priti nail polish.

One of the best services offered by Bibi Salon is the signature hydrating treatment. Dry or over-processed hair is coated in PhytoSpecific's Intense Nutrition Mask and the client is placed under a steamer to open up the cuticles and deep treat the hair shaft. Bibi Salon prides itself on treating its client's hair and teaching them to care for it at home between visits.

Bibi Salon is the perfect solution for Harlem's elite in search of upscale services in an uptown location. As Harlem continues to grow and thrive, residents should expect to see more high-end businesses cropping up along Frederick Douglass Boulevard.

Bibi Salon is located at 2220 Frederick Douglass Boulevard in Harlem. The phone number is 212-932-2220 or visit the website: www.bibisalonnyc.com.
