Our Story

More Than a Salon —
It's a Welcome

Carissa's Beauty Salon opened its doors on West 116th Street with one simple belief: everyone deserves to feel beautiful, and everyone deserves a space where they're treated like family.

Located in the heart of Manhattan's Upper West Side, we've spent over a decade serving neighbors who come for a trim and leave feeling like a completely new person. Our team takes the time to listen — really listen — so every cut, color, and treatment is something you'll love wearing every day.

Whether you're preparing for a job interview, a wedding, or just a Tuesday that deserves something special, we're here to make it happen. No rush, no pressure — just honest work and a space that feels like yours.

What Our Clients Say

The best compliment we receive is when someone tells us they can't wait to come back.

"I've been coming to Carissa's for over two years now, and I honestly don't know what I'd do without them. They remember my name, my preferences, and always make me feel like I'm the only person in the room. My hair has never looked better."

Michelle K. Regular Client · 2+ Years

"I walked in for a simple trim and left looking like I'd stepped out of a magazine. The attention to detail is unreal — they actually asked what I wanted and then delivered exactly that. No upselling, no rush. Just great hair."

David R. First Visit · Highly Recommended

"Carissa did my hair for my wedding and every member of the bridal party looked absolutely stunning. They were patient, professional, and made the whole experience feel effortless. I still get compliments on my hairstyle months later."
