Couture Craftsmanship
Where Fashion Meets Comfort
Angelo David Salon is widely recognized as New York City’s Top-Rated Local® salon for medical hair loss solutions. Angelo David Pisacreta learned the meticulous art of wig-making from his father, blending age-old artisanal techniques with the brilliant advantages of modern technology.
While Angelo has extensive experience flawlessly styling TV personalities, celebrities, and high-profile clientele, his greatest passion lies in supporting women navigating their cancer journeys. By meticulously creating the hair of their dreams—or perfectly recreating the biological hair they've always loved—Angelo and his team restore hope, strength, and self-confidence during one of life's most difficult chapters.
Private VIP Consultation
Your journey begins with a one-on-one consultation in a private, spa-like VIP suite. This relaxed environment allows our consultants to truly understand your hair concerns, lifestyle, and stylistic preferences. It is a safe space to ask any questions and explore all your options so that, together, we can design the perfect plan for your new hair.
Made for Comfort
Our medical wigs are brilliantly modern in both style and engineering. They are designed to fit so seamlessly that you will likely forget you are even wearing a wig. Just like high-end couture fashion, our couture wigs are crafted specifically for your body. Even our expedited ready-to-wear pieces are rigorously tailored to ensure unparalleled security and comfort.
Flawless, High-Fashion Styling
Because we are a premier luxury salon, we never compromise on style. Once your hairpiece is constructed, you will return for a personalized fitting. Our master stylists will cut, color, and style your new wig while it is on your head, ensuring it frames your face beautifully and matches your exact vision.
Three Steps to Your Custom Medical Wig
Step 1: Obtain a Medical Prescription
Before beginning the design process, we highly recommend securing a prescription from your doctor for a "medical hair prosthesis." This documentation is crucial for insurance purposes and ensures we can easily submit an estimate on your behalf.
Step 2: Enjoy a Complimentary VIP Consultation
Schedule an appointment at Angelo David Salon. In our private consultation rooms, we will guide you through our collections, answer your questions, and determine the ideal solution for your specific needs. Having helped hundreds of cancer patients find their perfect hair, our highly experienced team ensures you are in the best possible hands.
Step 3: Love Your New Hair
Once your piece is ready, you will return to the salon for your final fitting. We will expertly cut, color, and style the wig, leaving you feeling beautiful, empowered, and ready to take on the world.
Beyond the Wig
Regrowth & Transitioning
The phase where your natural hair begins to grow back can often feel confusing or difficult to navigate. You may wonder how and when to safely transition away from your wig.
Angelo David Salon offers a variety of incremental, post-chemotherapy solutions. When you are ready to graduate from your full wig, we can apply fully customized, gentle hair extensions or toppers to give your new, shorter hair beautiful volume and fullness. Furthermore, our stylists will expertly cut, color, and treat your biological hair as it regrows, ensuring you feel confident at every single stage of your journey.
TESTIMONIALS
I first went to Angelo David Salon the week before my wedding when my long-time stylist, colorist, and hair extension specialist had to cancel due to a family emergency. So I was desperate and needed a cut, color, and hair extensions very last minute. Having worked in beauty PR, specifically with celebrity hairstylists and top salons in NY & LA, I tend to have very high expectations and had heard his name. The team at Angelo David Salon could not have been more professional, accommodating, personable, and most importantly sympathetic to my particular situation. That very day they moved schedules around to fit me in for highlights and to match my color for hair extensions. Usually, you have to order the hair at least 2 weeks ahead of time but bc of my wedding less than a week away they pulled strings, moved schedules around, etc in order to get the right extensions for me the very next day! Angelo himself personally matched my color, rushed the extensions, and not only oversaw all my services but cleared time in his obviously demanding schedule to cut my hair himself. The results were simply stunning… I got compliments and questions everywhere I went. I could not be more thankful for all Angelo and his team did for me… a brand new client they never met before and had no relationship with. My hair could not have been more perfect. I’m forever grateful and would highly recommend them. It was obvious in my results and talking to Angelo his knowledge, talent and expertise is on a level with the very top stylists/ salons - especially hair extensions, wigs, thinning hair, etc.
Thank you again to Angelo and the team for all you did for me.

My haircut with Ivy was a great experience! I have a LOT of hair and she was very patient, and really listened to what I wanted. I so appreciate the fact that I left feeling good about the service I received and she recommended some excellent products to me as well. The Flex Brush is one of my all-time favorites. Will definitely be back with Ivy!

I recently had the pleasure of getting a haircut at Angelo David Salon, and I honestly cannot say enough good things about the experience. For someone who avoids frequent haircuts, in light of a few unfortunate trims elsewhere, I have never felt more comfortable in a salon than I did at Angelo David! Situated on Madison and 48th street, this location has earned praise for color services, couture hair extensions, toppers, and wigs.
At first glance, I was impressed by the universal level of professionalism amongst the staff and the glamorous appearance of the space itself. My hairstylist put any initial anxieties to rest with her kind demeanor, attentive listening, and helpful ideas. Per her suggestion, she cut clean long layers to preserve the illusion of length and sharp angles to frame and mature my face. In one appointment, she transformed my hair from feeling heavy and dead to voluminous and healthy; I could not be happier! Not only was I thrilled with the results, but I was impressed with the quality of the service, specifically how friendly and considerate my consultant was.
The price was extremely fair compared to the typical cost of a haircut in Manhattan, and after seeing the professional “before-and-after” photos, it was worth every penny. Angelo David Salon is the only place I’ll ever go again for a monthly trim or a beach-wave blowout for my next big social event.

I took my sister in to get a wig at Angelo David Salon because she was preparing to lose her hair from chemotherapy. Carlos and Angelo were so sensitive, caring, and professional. the salon provides private rooms for consults and fittings that created a safe, comfortable environment for her during an extremely difficult time. They have many wig options and the quality of their wigs was amazing. The wig genuinely looked like her own natural hair. Carlos took so much time working with my sister, we never felt anything but extremely comfortable and pleased with the professionalism from my first phone contact and, throughout our entire experience. I highly recommend this salon. I can’t say enough positive things!! Carlos also offered options for my sister's other main concern what do I do as my hair grows in? he suggested extensions that can be done as hair begins to grow in. That option made my sister feel even more at ease. Carlos was a miracle to us, as the thought of losing her hair was extremely frightening to her!! The Angelo David Salon can completely take care of this part of the battle
with cancer and that is an absolutely wonderful gift!!

By far the most amazing salon in NYC! Angelo, Carlos, and the entire staff are caring and professional. I started going to them 10 years ago when my daughter who has alopecia needed a wig and we wanted something quality and natural. ( she was 21). Angelo and his staff could not have been more accommodating or caring! Fast forward ( we’ve been with them since for her hairpieces) I was diagnosed with cancer and had to go thru chemo… again, the most amazing, caring, and professional treatment! You are made to feel like family and they truly care! Can’t recommend them enough!! Thank you Angelo and Carlos!!!

As a person who has never been happy with a haircut, I had a wonderful experience at Angelo David’s hair salon. The front desk greeted me warmly and offered me a drink while I waited for my hairstylist. You have a variety of options to choose from as Angelo David’s specializes in hair wigs and extensions. My hairstylist gave me a relaxing hair wash before she began to cut my hair. The haircut turned out beautiful and was styled effortlessly. All the workers were very professional and kind and the Angelo David’s salon had a wonderful ambiance that I will be looking forward to experiencing again.

Going to Angelo David Salon has not only changed my hair but changed my life! After some post-covid hair loss, I consulted Angelo about getting extensions. He sat down and listened to all of my concerns and customized extensions to fit my hair and lifestyle perfectly. Between Angelo's extensions expertise and Rita's unbelievable color, I can honestly say I have never been happier with my hair.

When it comes to sleek styling and personalized treatments, the team at Angelo David Salon truly performs hair magic. Rita is the absolute best at making you feel comfortable with your consultation and achieving perfect color results - not to mention, she gives a mean blowout that lasts for days. The salon is currently implementing the highest safety standards and the staff is extremely personable and professional. Conveniently located in Midtown, the space is also very trendy. Clients here become like family - a family with great hair! I couldn't be happier with my service and will definitely be back.

Angelo David Salon is a beautiful salon with excellent service. The staff are friendly and truly care about their clients' needs. Before I came here my blonde hair was completely over-processed and fried from a previous salon I went to. Meaghan saved my hair! She always takes the time to talk with me about the health of my hair and gives great tips to help me get my weak, brittle hair strong again! Her passion for hair care shines through everything she does and she is extremely dedicated to her clients. I always love the color and highlights Meaghan does. She is the BEST! I also use the Angelo David couture hair extensions to help give my hair thickness, length, and volume. It always looks AMAZING after Marc puts the hair extensions in for me! I highly recommend Angelo David Salon!

My hair started to thin this year due to hormonal changes but mostly due to post-surgery trauma. Doctors weren't helping or they were suggesting toxic solutions like Rogaine. I googled "hairstylist specializing in fine hair and found Angelo David Hair Salon. I booked a consultation via WhatsApp with Carlos. He was warm, friendly, and took the time to listen to my concerns about my hair. We made an appointment and I went in this past Monday. They've taken every precaution regarding Covid- taking your temperature, everyone was wearing masks, there was only one other client in the salon, and we were seated very far apart. I had a consultation with Carlos who then consulted with the stylist - Rita- to make sure we were all on the same page regarding my haircut and my color. Nothing was pushed on me- it was all very collaborative and caring. I felt so taken care of and listened to. If anybody's had thinning hair you know how emotional it can be.
This is the best haircut I've had in years. Rita is amazing and she also fixed my color. I'd been dying my hair at home during Covid and letting the grays come in and it was a mess.
She gave me a stylish and cool haircut which is what I'd asked for. The layering is beautiful, it's easy to maintain, it feels so much healthier, and I finally feel like myself again. It was worth every penny and I won't go anywhere else going forward.
