Imagine this series of events: you walk down glamour-ridden Fifth Avenue, step into a quintessential New York City department store, find the nearest elevator, and ride up to the ninth floor. The elevator doors open and overlook one of the most beautiful views the city has to offer. Sound like a dream? In more ways than one, the John Barrett Salon at Bergdorff Goodman is like the best dream you’ve ever had. Getting groomed while looking out over The Plaza and Central Park is heavenly, but the real reason to make your appointment is the talent. Jay Ree is a stylist extraordinaire; with both a British accent and charm, he has an uncanny ability to shape hair to flatter your face. One of his tricks—have you stand for a few minutes while he cuts. “I figure that if I have to stand, you should too,” he jokes (but in all seriousness, it actually gives him an eye level view of what he is doing). Using only products from John Barrett’s amazing Elementage line, such as the Be Cleansed shampoo, the Be Conditioned conditioner and, our fav, the Be Healed styling masque (it’s truly amazing!), the experience leaves you counting down the days until your next appointment.
