Alex's Hair of Passion

In 1984, Nicholas J. Elezaj joined a small salon located beside the Pelham Picture House. By 1987, Nick had built a name, created a following, and made the small salon “Nick’s Salon Studio”. By 1995, with a larger space, just a few doors down, this Pelham mainstay became simply “NIX”. For two decades, Nick has based his success on one easy concept “Keep It Simple”. In 1999, Nick proudly introduced the simple result of earnest work, continued development, and loyal clientele — A full service hair salon and esthetic facility, poignantly designed to provide specialty services, coupled with specialty service —Nicholas Day Spa & Salon.

"Victoria has been my hair stylist for the past 2 years. Not only is she a great hair stylist, but we have also become good friends. I get compliments all the time about my creative hairstyles and the healthy look of my hair." Rhonda Schwartz, Yonkers, NY

ChouChou Salon is not just another neighborhood haircutting establishment - just look at the metal sculpture in the window, the restored tin ceiling, the worn wood floors, and the gorgeous artist-crafted mirror frames on the walls. This is a place that understands style, appreciates art and fine craftsmanship, and knows the secret of unearthing hidden beauty. <br> Owner Clyde Michael designed the space himself, to be comfortable and to inspire quiet creativity for himself, his staff and clients. A Rivertown native and award-winning hairdresser (with a handful of successful, high-profile salons in his past), he opened ChouChou Salon in 1997 to offer “Manhattan sans Manhattan” — outstanding haircoloring and quality styling for discerning women and men, without all the hype and hassle, and at a much better price than what you’ll pay in the city.
