Who we are
Salon V was founded in 2004 by wife-and-husband team Vernelle and Alan Murphy with a simple vision: to create a welcoming, no-attitude retreat where both New Yorkers and newcomers could feel at home. In 2025, Mar McCown joined as a partner, bringing fresh perspective, creativity, and passion to the team.
Originally nestled in the East Village, Salon V found its new home in the vibrant heart of Greenwich Village in 2014, where it continues to thrive today.
At Salon V, we believe in delivering more than just great hair — we’re here to give you an experience. From our chic, modern decor to thoughtful details like aromatic scalp massages before your shampoo and complimentary tea, coffee, beer, or wine, everything we do is designed to help you unwind and feel your best.
Discover a salon experience where you’ll leave feeling pampered, confident, & cared for.
We warmly invite you to experience Salon V for yourself — our commitment is to deliver the outstanding service you deserve, every time you visit.
What we use
KEVIN MURPHY
SKINCARE FOR YOUR HAIR
KEVIN MURPHY is a fashion focused range of salon only, professional, hair care products created by Kevin to meet his needs as an editorial hairstylist. Born from the same philosophy as skincare, KEVIN.MURPHY products are weightlessly designed to deliver performance, strength and longevity.
When searching the world for ingredients, KEVIN.MURPHY looked for companies that use micro cultivation, organic growing practices, or ecologically sound wild harvesting techniques to ensure the KEVIN.MURPHY range is of the very highest natural quality. The KEVIN.MURPHY range of washes, rinses, treatments and styling products is the ultimate indulgence of high fashion looks with the added benefit of beautiful ingredients.
Vitamins and amino acids repair the outer surface of the hair, thickening the hair and reducing the formation of split ends. Moisturizers from Mango butter and Murumuru butter smooth the cuticles and soften the hair. Extracts from Peruvian Bark, Baobab, Bamboo and Orange Blossom infuse the hair with weightless moisture. Antioxidants from Kakadu Plum, Orchid, Lotus Flower and Desert Lime reduce breakage and repair chemical damage naturally.
Color.Me is born from Kevin Murphy’s vision of fusing session work, fashion and hair color. It delivers high performance, natural looking results, and optimal color functionality. Color.Me is PPD FREE & AMMONIA FREE and uses and gentle blend of naturally derived ingredients like Aloe Vera, Honey, Shea Butter and Pomegranate to naturally moisturize, rejuvenate and impart incredible shine without having to further compromise the environment.
Salon V Model Project
Salon V is always seeking hair models for our Advanced Training Model Project. These sessions are led by our apprentices as they develop and perfect their craft under the guidance of our salon owner, Vernelle. It’s a wonderful opportunity to experience professional hair services at a reduced rate while supporting the next generation of stylists. Haircuts are complimentary, and color services are offered for a $40 fee. If you’re interested in being a model, fill out the form below and we’ll be in touch with upcoming opportunities!
Our Salon Policies
Cancellations
To reserve your appointment, a valid credit card is required at the time of booking. We understand that life happens and schedules may need to shift, so we kindly ask for at least 24 hours' notice for any cancellations or rescheduling. Appointments changed or canceled with less than 24 hours' notice, as well as late arrivals or missed appointments, may incur a charge of 25% of the scheduled service. “No call, no shows” will be charged 50% of the service booked. This courtesy allows us to accommodate other guests and keep our schedule flowing smoothly for everyone.
Appointment Guidelines
Please note, if you arrive more than 15 minutes late, we may need to reschedule your appointment to honor the time of our other guests. While we always strive to ensure you leave loving your look, should you have any concerns, adjustments must be scheduled within two weeks of your original appointment.
A 4% surcharge applies to American Express transactions. Gratuities are warmly appreciated and accepted via cash or Venmo only.
