One seat on the 4/5/6
Red Market is at 13 East 13th Street, Floor 2 — one block from Union Square, which is a single express ride down the 4/5/6 from the Upper East Side. From most of the UES that is twenty to thirty minutes door to door, with no transfer.
The trip downtown is real, and it is worth being honest about: Red Market is not on the Upper East Side, it is a downtown color house. UES guests make the trip for one reason — French color done by a colorist they trust, rather than whoever happens to be available closest to home.
Why UES guests come downtown
The Upper East Side is full of salons; fewer of them are color houses. Red Market is led by owner Reynald Ricard, a master colorist who trained in France, and balayage here is painted freehand — placed where the light would naturally lift the hair, so it grows out clean and holds for months.
Balayage starts at $350 including a personalized gloss, and every color service opens with a complimentary consultation.
