April Barton's Portfolio
"I touch it and its fierce!"
In the heart of New York City, where stories weave through every strand of hair and history permeates each cut, there lies a legend. April Barton, not just a stylist but an artist, paints tales with her scissors. With every snip, she’s mastered a craft that extends far beyond the surface. Her artistry resonates with an age-old credo: the act of cutting hair is, above all, an "inside job." Embracing a technique she's mastered as "interior cutting,” she gifts her patrons with styles that that last well beyond the norm, flourishing as days turn to months.
From the impassioned chords of Bono to the intense method of Adrien Brody, from the soulful tunes of Mary J. Blige, April has been the silent partner behind these legends and more, sculpting their signature style. The corridors of her salon have seen more than just artists; they've seen souls, bared and vulnerable, from towering magnates to the daughter of the neighborhood superintendent.
In 1995, April made a home for Suite 303 within the legendary Chelsea Hotel. Here, it’s not just a haircut; it’s like what Matthew Modine quoted “It’s going to see a friend and coming out with great hair.” The whispers of Jimi Hendrix's guitar, the melancholy of Leonard Cohen’s verses, the raw energy of Sid Vicious, and the literary musings of Arthur Miller echo through its walls, beckoning clients to not merely witness, but partake in this rich tapestry.
Her brilliance doesn't end at the salon door. The cinematic world has witnessed her prowess, magazines have been graced by her touch, and luminaries like photographer Mark Seliger have chronicled her work. April is also a founding member of Ludlow House, a Soho House property in NYC. Even as Suite 303 migrates, its spirit, reminiscent of the bohemian allure of Chelsea Hotel, thrives on Bond St.
Craftswoman, visionary, icon—April Barton is a force, a story, an epoch. And to be styled by her is not just to undergo a transformation, but to become a part of an eternal legacy.
