Donsuki Salon

Sep 2020

I first met Suki in 1980, when she worked for a salon in the old Bonwit Teller, and I was starting in book publishing. Not long after Donald Trump demolished Bonwit’s, I reached out and Suki informed me she was openIng a salon with a former colleague. They planned to name it Donsuki. Sadly her partner contracted AIDS and died shortly after their launch, and Suki — who’d originally come to the U.S. to study music — found herself running the business. Forty years and 80+ haircuts later, I can vouch that none are better, and few as good as, Suki and her team.

I introduced my fiancé to Donsuki Salon after it was recommended to me from a family friend. She instantly fell in love with Suki and the atmosphere here. It's a beautiful, large salon on the Upper East Side that has great service and has been around for years.

I Was staying/shopping around the area , and I was in need of a haircut, for an event later in the evening. While shopping I was browsing for a salon nearby. As usual, there are many suggestions, but DonSuki was the closest to Barney's New York. I decided to give it a try. Since I was a Walk-In... I left my expectations at the door... once I got to the reception in the second floor, receptionists welcomed me and I felt myself welcome. The salon is spacious and cozy, bigger than what it looks from the outside, very busy , but yet friendly people trying to accommodate you as walk-in. They offered me something to drink so I was sipping on a fresh brewed coffee while getting services done . Many talented people working at this place, colorist, haircutters , stylist, you name it. I was happy with the results, and I will definitely come back. Thank you everybody at DonSuki. Will see you soon ‍
