Jacob Moss

I have followed Jacob for 9 years now and will as long as I have hair to cut! Jacob is a thoughtful, engaging, artistic, patient and talented stylist. He has seen me through short, mid-​length and long hair styles and helped me transition through them without frustration and with beauty.
Although I want to look glamorous, I do not know how to use or have the patience for tools or products to create the look myself and with Jacob’s styles I do not need to. He has kept me in cuts that allow me to shower and go and no one knows the difference.
I have many friends who have also go to him, both men and women, and are now loyal clients. We all say the same, «Jacob is a hair-​whisperer».
Barrow is a beautiful open plan salon, flooded with light in a great downtown location and the staff offers a high level of customer service and products.

Never judge a haircut by the way it looks when you walk out the door. Instead, ride it out and gauge how it looks the next day, the next week, the next month. Jacob cuts hair that looks fantastic at all those points down the road even when I’m styling it myself with my inept hands.
I’m making this point because, I’m never crazy about my hair when I immediately leave the salon. Don’t get me wrong, it looks good but it’s usually not the way I would style it myself. Here’s the thing though, for my straight ass Asian hair, Jacob will make it pin straight so he can go in and cut the right angles and razor the layers that need to be put in and make sure the hair falls the way it should. This means I usually leave with flatter hair than I prefer but man do his cuts grow out beautifully!
Jacob has an artist background and you can tell as much in the way he approaches your specific head of hair. I actually have several friends who go to him to and I see equally fantastic results on them too. Maybe his tough guy, rock and roll attitude give him a different perspective on style and beauty?
So, if you’re looking for a hairstylist who can give you the right cut to flatter your hair, face, skull go see Jacob. And now he’s at the oh-​so-​chic newly opened Barrow salon, you can spend the afternoon pretending your in a downtown New York salon and come away with hair that would be right at home in the West Village.
