Okafor
A West Village color lab obsessed with custom formulas, glossed finishes, and the kind of hair that makes a room turn. We do balayage, vivids, platinum and lived-in brunette — but we mostly do you, in volume.
Color that makes you look
like yourself, but louder.
Every service starts with a 30-minute consult and a custom formula written for your strand pattern, lifestyle, and the way you actually live with your hair.
A bespoke formula painted from root to ends. We map your natural pigment, ask about light in your apartment, and build a tone that holds for 8–10 weeks.
Trained at Bumble & bumble, Sally Hershberger, and Marie Robinson — now obsessed with formulas, undertones, and the specific kind of light New York throws in October.

Consults are free and take 30 minutes. Bring inspiration, screenshots, your worst color stories — we'll write a formula and book the chair.
