Reliable Salon V was established by Vernelle Murphy and Alan Murphy in 2004. They envisioned a comfortable, no-attitude relaxation place for New Yorkers and Newbies. Located in the East Village, the two-story Salon V relocated to Greenwich Village’s more active scene in 2014. In 2016, Salon V's senior stylist Meg DiGiovanni, who had been with Salon V for eight years, joined Vernelle as a business partner. Salon V welcomes you to visit.
