ABOUT SHAUN SURETHING

Thirty years of managing hair positions Shaun Surething as the Downtown Doyenne of New York City style.  Greasing the gears of art world luminaries and fashion aficionados, Shaun locates and underscores singular style sensibilities.  Shaun works out of his light-filled West Village hair salon, accentuating each client visit with clarity of vision. Astute intuition of personal modes of expression and great conversations punctuate an appointment with Shaun.

Shaun’s fantastic work with hair and his cool humor keep his devotees returning to leave his chair rejuvenated and as their best selves. With this intention, hilarious over-shares and free advice are abundant. Markedly, numerology, healing, NYC real estate, and cultural trends are to be expected. For these reasons, Shaun’s clients love him for more than just the best hair of their lives. Accordingly, Shaun strives to create the best hair salon in NYC while keeping up Seagull’s fun and inclusive environment.

SHAUN SURETHING ACCOLADES

The ambiance is cool without being exclusionary. “We’re like an old-school salon in that stylists collaborate on ideas and people actually talk to each other.” —Shaun quoted in The New York Times.

I always see Shaun, and he is a consummate artist. I can always count on him for a very stimulating 45-minute conversation from a queer/feminist/magical perspective; and I so appreciate having his council as I confront the problems of self-presentation and aging—Carol Bove, Artist

“There are no guarantees in life. Unless you’ve booked an appointment with Shaun “Surething”. Then you’re certain to encounter a friendly eccentric, and diverse clientele. And obsessively precise scissor work” – Allure Magazine. 

As a fashion reporter, it’s imperative that I look the part—which means my mass of unruly hair needs to be beaten into submission. Shaun’s got the magic touch, and he’s given me a definitive style that works with my everyday life. I love his salon— Matthew Schneier, Styles Reporter – New York Times

“Important: There is no such thing as age-appropriate hair. The idea that women of a certain age (over 50, 60? I have no idea) cannot have long hair or eye-catching color. This notion is absurd and insulting at best.” Shaun Surething -Nylon.com

I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Shaun for the better part of 5 years. He is a brilliant stylist and easy to communicate with. Aside from being a great stylist he is a joy to be around and getting to know him personally has been wonderful, he is hilarious. We are never lacking in topics to dissect together. He is a true artist. – Nicole Eisenman, Visual Artist

As the director of Participant Inc. I come across artists of many disciplines. I am happy to include Shaun among not only my colleagues but as one of my good friends. Shaun is fun, sincere, and incredibly talented both as a NYC-based hair stylist and artist in general, and I am pleased to count him as one of my peers. – Lia Gangitano, Participant Inc. and former curator at Thread Waxing Space
