Baja Studio NYC

Malcolm Cuthbert has been my hairstylist for years, and I cannot recommend him enough. His attention to detail when it comes to washing, styling, and overall hair care is exceptional.

I always leave his chair feeling confident, and I receive so many compliments on my hair. Malcolm takes great pride in his work and consistently provides excellent customer service while also educating his clients on how to maintain healthy hair.

I’ve been going to Jay and Malcolm for over 8 years, and they truly feel like family. Jay gives the best blowouts and always knows how to make my hair look amazing, and Malcolm has completely transformed my color over the years.

I have been going to Malcolm and Jay for years and they are both so talented. Malcom’s double process is beautiful every time. He’s a master colorist. And Jay gives consistently great short haircuts. He listens, and I always walk out of there happy.

He genuinely cares about the o

Malcolm is a next level colorist. Truly an artist. So thoughtful and precise and able to create absolute magic. He’s been doing my hair for 20 years and his work only gets better and better. I am so grateful to be one of his many acolytes and I am so glad he’s found a happy home at Baja which has allowed me to meet the incomparable Jay. Jay’s ability to make art with scissors is unparalleled. I will keep coming back forever.
