Getting to Numi from Bedford

By car

Bedford, including Bedford Village, Bedford Hills, and Katonah, sits about 18 miles north of Scarsdale in the horse country at the top of the county. The standard route is the Saw Mill River Parkway south to the Sprain Brook Parkway, typically 30 to 40 minutes off-peak. From Bedford Village and the eastern side of town, I-684 south to the Hutchinson Parkway runs about the same. Most Bedford clients build the visit into a fuller day, pairing it with errands in Scarsdale Village or White Plains. Street parking is free around Scarsdale Village.

By Metro-North

Bedford Hills and Katonah stations both sit on the Harlem Line, the same line as Scarsdale, so the ride south is direct with no transfer. The trip runs roughly 35 to 45 minutes depending on local or express, and Scarsdale station is a short walk or rideshare from the salon. For clients who would rather not drive the parkways in winter, the train is a genuinely practical option rather than a technicality.

Numi Hair Salon sits at 69 Harney Road in Scarsdale, about 35 minutes south of Bedford by car or a direct Harlem Line ride from Bedford Hills or Katonah. We welcome clients from across Westchester and the surrounding region, including regulars who travel in from Connecticut for our color work. Voted Best Hair Salon in Westchester and named one of the 100 Top Salons in the U.S., Numi is the salon for clients who want color that looks like it grew that way.

Why Bedford Clients Make the Drive

Color that suits a heritage town

Bedford is a preservation district at heart. The village green, the 1787 courthouse, the riding lanes, the stone walls along Route 22. The aesthetic here runs understated, and the color should match. Numi's colorists build soft, lived-in dimension rather than high-contrast highlights, so a balayage reads as your own hair caught in good light rather than a recent salon visit.

A direct Harlem Line ride when you would rather not drive

Bedford is one of the few northern Westchester towns with a direct train to Scarsdale. Bedford Hills and Katonah both sit on the Harlem Line, so there is no Manhattan transfer and no parkway in the snow. Plenty of our Bedford regulars book a mid-morning appointment, take the train down, and are back before school pickup.

Longer appointments, fewer of them

A 35 minute drive each way changes how you want to schedule. Rather than frequent short visits, most Bedford clients book fuller appointments at wider intervals, pairing a women's haircut with color, or color with a smoothing treatment, so one trip covers everything. Your stylist builds the maintenance window around the drive rather than pretending it does not exist.

Balayage & Dimensional Color for Bedford Clients

Balayage suits the way Bedford clients actually live. Because the lightening is painted rather than foiled to the root, there is no hard regrowth line, which means the window between appointments stretches to 10 to 14 weeks instead of the 5 to 7 a full root touch-up demands. For a client driving 35 minutes each way, that difference matters far more than it does for someone who lives ten minutes from the salon. Numi's colorists handle the full dimensional range: a first-time balayage session runs 3 to 4 hours including toning and the finish, maintenance refreshes that add light only where it has faded run 2 to 3 hours, and gloss-only visits to reset tone between them run 60 to 90 minutes.

For clients moving from years of single-process color, the transition is planned across two or three appointments rather than forced into one, so the hair stays in good condition the whole way. Bedford clients managing summer humidity often pair the color rotation with a formaldehyde-free keratin treatment, scheduled as its own visit so the two services do not crowd each other. The colorist sets both calendars in the first consultation, and standing appointments hold the same stylist and time block through the year.

What to Expect at Your Visit

1. Consultation

Every visit starts with a real conversation. Your stylist reviews your hair, asks about your routine and goals, and walks you through what's possible, what will hold, and what's realistic for your hair type. No surprises mid-process.

2. The Service

Whatever you're booked for — a cut, color service, balayage, keratin treatment, or bridal styling — is handled by a stylist who specializes in that exact work. Color is mixed for your hair specifically. Cuts are checked and adjusted to your standard.

3. Finish & Style

Every appointment ends with a blowout and finishing style so you leave camera-ready. Product recommendations come from your stylist based on what your hair actually needs — no pushy upsells.

4. Plan Your Next Visit

Before you leave, your stylist offers a maintenance window and a rebooking suggestion. Standing appointments lock in the same stylist visit after visit.

“My first time at Numi. Luma was my stylist for the color, cut, and blow dry. She did a wonderful job and I would highly recommend her for balayage. I did not have to wait at all when I arrived and the staff was all very friendly.”

Frequently Asked Questions

About 30 to 40 minutes off-peak. From Bedford Hills and the western side of town, the Saw Mill River Parkway south to the Sprain Brook is the most direct route. From Bedford Village and the east, I-684 south to the Hutchinson runs about the same. Weekday commute hours add time in both directions, so mid-morning and early afternoon are the easier windows.

Yes. Bedford Hills and Katonah stations both sit on the Harlem Line, the same line as Scarsdale, so the ride is direct with no transfer. It takes roughly 35 to 45 minutes, and the salon is a short walk or rideshare from Scarsdale station. Bedford is one of the few northern Westchester towns where the train is genuinely practical for a hair appointment.

Yes, all three. The Town of Bedford covers Bedford Village, Bedford Hills and Katonah, and we see clients from each of them. Drive times are close enough to be interchangeable, within about five minutes of one another, because all three feed onto the same routes south. Bedford Hills and Katonah also have their own Harlem Line stations if you would rather take the train.

Street parking is free around Scarsdale Village and directly in front of the salon at 69 Harney Road. There is no meter and no permit requirement, so there is nothing to arrange before you drive down. Mid-morning and early afternoon are the easiest times to find a space close to the door.

Yes, though all styling happens at the Scarsdale salon rather than on location. For an event at a Bedford or Katonah venue, we book extended early appointments so you travel up with your hair already set, which works well given the drive runs the same direction. Bridal trials are scheduled 4 to 8 weeks before the date depending on how involved the look is.
