Laicale

I’ve been getting men’s haircuts from Roberto for over six years as of March 2025. I first started seeing him when I moved to the west side of Manhattan, where he was working at a salon near Hudson and Charles Street. When I later moved back to Brooklyn, I tried a few local spots but ultimately decided it was worth the trek to the West Village to have my difficult, curly hair managed by Roberto. Not only does he consistently deliver the exact haircut I’m looking for, but he also does it with speed and efficiency every single time. When he relocated to SoHo, it made the decision even easier, cutting down my commute. Honestly, if he moved to another city, I’d probably still find a way to see him—he’s that talented. Roberto strikes the perfect balance of quiet focus and friendly conversation. Some days I’m so exhausted from work that I can barely keep my eyes open, and he gets it—he lets me relax or even doze off without skipping a beat. The salon he works in now, LAICALE, is professional, well-run, and a calm space to get a cut. Sean at the front desk goes above and beyond to book appointments that fit your schedule, accommodate changes, and send multiple reminders in case you miss an alert or forget to add it to your calendar. Roberto is not only a master of his craft but also kind, attentive, and genuinely invested in making his clients look and feel their best. I can’t recommend him highly enough—if you’re looking for someone who understands hair, listens to what you want, and delivers every time, he’s the one.

Andrea at LAICALE is out of this world amazing. She not only is talented, but is so personable, funny and nice. She is able to take my hair inspiration photos and explain to me which aspects of it are possible and how it could be done on my hair. And then she goes to work and creates magic. Each time it turns out better than I could ever imagine. On top of this, she really cares about her clients and makes them feel welcome and safe emotionally. Karina, one of the assistants is also fabulous. She is also extremely kind and gifted. LAICALE salon is also clean and bright and the front desk associates are nice and helpful. Highly recommend.

It was my first time at Laicale & I had my appointment with Jason! He did such an AMAZING hair cut & blow dry on me. I absolutely loved how my hair looked after. From the moment I walked in the salon, I immediately felt welcomed & the service is at 10000%! Can’t wait to return for my next haircut 🩵
