Mentored by industry icon Odile Gilbert, Amoy launched her impressive career as a go-to hairstylist in the fashion industry, booking her first fashion show in Paris, Christian Dior couture collection in January 1998. She styled the house’s legendary designer John Galliano for his final bow and her career skyrocketed. Soon after, Galliano himself began requesting Amoy as his personal hairstylist. Fashion maven Donatella Versace followed suit and not only booked Amoy as her personal stylist but engaged her to create the look for her collections. Today, with beauty campaigns for DSquared, Givenchy and Louis Vuitton as well as film-work and popular TV shows under her belt, this style-maker is leading the way forward.

After decades of going to other high-end stylists with celebrity cred, I’ve been going to Amoy Couture for two years and at this point, can’t imagine going anywhere else. When I started working with her, my hair was in terrible shape from over-processing and health issues; it was dry to the point of being brittle, breaking like crazy and coming out in patches. Two years later, it’s longer than it’s ever been (almost mid-back), thick and lustrous. She does custom color with impeccable taste and ability to visualize what works best on me. And she is an extraordinary stylist; strangers literally stop me in the street to compliment my hair. It’s amazing.

This review is for my wife who has been trying many methods of hair extensions over the years in various salons and different cities all over the United States. We stumbled upon the closest business to where we live, Amoy Couture, on Lexington Avenue on the Upper East Side. To our surprise, it turned out to be the best salon my wife has ever been to. Not only did they do an excellent job with beautiful hair, but they also offered a very fair price. The shop is immaculate, and the employees who work for AMOY are friendly and super qualified in their artistic abilities.

I have been a client of Amoy’s for almost 5 years now. She is unrivaled in her expertise and service. My installs are incredible and my hair is as long as my installs and healthy and thriving because of her focus on hair health, style and process all at once. The salon is clean and in an amazing neighborhood. In addition, the staff is knowledgeable, patient and friendly. I highly recommend Amoy’s salon. I’ve tried other “celebrity” stylists in NYC and literally none compare. One even gave me a lot of breakage and a bald spot— which Amoy saved me from.

Amazing salon with amazing staff. Amoy colored and styled my hair. Janet did my shampoo and rinse. Both treated my hair with such tender care. The salon is very a relaxing space. I had no idea my hair could look so good! As soon as I stepped out the salon I had random strangers compliment my hair. Amoy is truly gifted!

Satisfaction! Satisfaction! Satisfaction! My experience as a first time guest was simply incredible. I scheduled a one on one consultation about hair extensions, then shown products for my style of choice. I couldn't be most happiest with the outcome. Service was fast, comfortable in a relaxed setting I'd definitely recommend this salon to all divas, trust me you won't be disappointed.
