I needed a haircut desperately but hadn't found a place I was crazy about. After checking yelp for…read morerecommendations, I gave Broadway Hair a call to see if they take walk-ins. They do, and asked when I thought I might be in. I told them and the man who answered said I shouldn't have a problem getting in for a haircut at that time. I did have to wait about 30 minutes when I arrived; definitely not "no problem getting in". I had the time to spare, but had to keep feeding the meter my car was parked at out on Broadway. One stylist left for the day while I was waiting and didn't clean up their workstation, instead just saying to their coworkers, "Sorry I'm leaving a mess." Hmmmm . . . My haircut was fine. I didn't need anything drastic, and the stylist did a good job. I was a little put off that no prices were posted, and that when I went to pay, my stylist said they would give me $5 off their regular price for a woman's haircut. BTW, this directly contradicts another Yelper's report that they charge you on length of hair, instead of whether you're male or female. It irked me that they acted like they were doing me some huge favor by saving me $5, when I would really have preferred consistent pricing posted so I could determine whether I was really getting a bargain. So, haircut was fine, but this place definitely has some professionalism issues. I might return but will probably try and find a place that I like better instead.

Back in the day when I was young and impressionable, my mother told me that only Korean people…read moreunderstand how to cut Korean hair. For this reason, I have had more than one fobulous perm/dye job/you name it. I have also learned over time that my hair - dark, thin, and straight - doesn't require that much expertise to handle. Regardless, I find comfort in Korean hair salons, and am living proof of the efficacy of brainwashing. So when I found Park Jun on Orange around the same time that my bangs were going rogue, I decided to break my no-haircuts-in-New-Haven rule and see what happened. The space is clean, well-kept, and pretty open, with most of the interior visible through windowed walls from outside. I walked in and the lady on duty, who I suspect is the owner as there was no one else around, asked if I could wait for a little bit while she finished up with another customer (a male of, I suspect, the Korean persuasion, who minutes later had a spiffy haircut). I didn't wait long. I asked for a basic cut, and that's what I got. Shampoo, cut, blow-dry and all took twenty minutes or so, and cost a reasonable $40. Or was it $30? Shit, there go my "Useful" votes. The lady was very friendly and asked me questions about myself as if she were actually interested. She didn't judge me for my totally worthless language skills either. The one thing that I did find pretty funny was that I left the place with my hair styled almost exactly like hers, kind of straight with the ends curled in, and not a whole lot like mine when I walked in. It didn't matter though, as it washed back to normal, and I was happy with the cut. I'm glad I found this place and I'll be back again for East Coast hair maintenance.

Where do I begin? I've had quite a few experiences here over the past 2.5 years. Its really close…read moreto me (walking distance) and I don't have much time to travel for my hair..thats literally the only reason I kept going. I now think I've accumulated enough experience to give them 2 stars without hesitation. I've gone both as a 4b natural to get my hair pressed and when I transitioned back to relaxers. If you're natural and you just want someone to do a great job of washing blow drying and flat ironing your natural hair without giving you heat damage then this is a great place to go. I'm a freak about the health of my hair and never once did she damage my hair with heat tools and it always got very straight. The horrors started after I transitioned back to relaxers. I did a lot of research before hand and wanted to make sure I would maintain my armpit length hair. Unfortunately, that didn't happen. A lot of issues arose because there was no attention to the individual customer or healthy hair. I now realize that (didn't know what was causing it at the time) that multiple relaxer types were alternated on my hair every time I went in because they never remembered which one worked well for me the first time. It resulted in varying textures and a lot of breakage. My hair was either under processed or I left with painful scabs on my scalp. It would just swing from one extreme to the other when the previous experience was brought up. She tried to convince me that I actually needed to come in more often (ie monthly lol) to relax my hair to address this issue. Also, many times relaxer was found left in my hair while they began blowdrying and I had to go back to get it washed out.... Or they would run out of relaxer mid touchup and had to wait for more to be mixed as it sat on my head.... Either one of those things literally happened to me every time I went in. You would think they would realize a year in that I had a lot of hair and to prepare for that... FYI to keep this in perspective there are only 2 employees here and they knew my name. Lets see...I once had to leave with blow dried half done hair as I waited for her for almost 2 hours to finish with another client. As the breakage progressed, despite my bringing up the my thinning ends and short choppy pieces in the front there were no suggestions as to what the cause was. No suggestions for treatments. No tips beside more frequent relaxers. I'd routinely ask for roller sets to avoid heat and they'd schedule that for me on the phone but when I got there, there was always an excuse about time and I had to get it flat ironed... The one time I did get a rollerset it was rushed and came out wet. Had to be finished off with hand dryer. Basically there was no attention to hair health at all and I made the unfortunate mistake of placing too much trust in the knowledge of a stylist. She didn't know things I got off of a quick google.. but fronted pretty well in the beginning so I was deceived. I literally left every appointment thinking "I'm never coming back here again" but somehow found myself back in her chair. I often questioned what I was doing wrong...tried everything in the book at home..but its pretty hard to salvage a recurrently bad relaxer...I once had to come home and wash my hair out again with neutralizing shampoo because my hair was sticking together and getting hard. Also, the hours are extremely inconvenient if you work and the few Saturday time slots are very rushed. Pros: The salon is beautiful and professional looking. It was never crowded. Quality products (just not consistent). No head jerking or ripping through hair. In summary, I would honestly suggest this place (and have) if you are natural and want your hair heat straightened. If you get relaxers and actually want your hair past neck length I would run far away. Cannot comment on the extensions.

It was a wonderful experience from the moment I called. She greeted me professionally over the phone and booked my appointment right away. When I arrived she and her co-worker greeted me and my mother (who was not getting her hair done, but just joining me for the day) warmly. I was started right away. Her co-worker Damieka is in training, but you can tell that she knows her stuff. She prepped me for my relaxer by basing my hair. She did a thorough job. Richlin was in the middle of weaving another clients hair but came over to relax me in a timely manner. Her assistant rinsed me and did a great job shampooing, asking me about my tingly spots, and she gave a great massage. When I was done Richlin wrapped my hair and put my under her dryer right away too. I can't say how great it is to have someone be friendly, move you along and not drag the process out, and actually know what they are doing! She was even nice enough to trim my hair. I know that my hair is far from perfect and she did not make me fee lame for having split ends. She just offered to clean them up, which was very cool of her. I ended up having a great experience. The salon is in the middle of renovation but you can tell its going to be fabulous. Ladies, if you are a sistah in search of a new salon, try Richlin. She's great!

I have 3B textured hair, and I had to literally tell the stylist to use heat protectant before applying heat. That should be automatic. And when I did tell her, she basically used ONE SPRAY and moved on. One spray for my entire head, with barely any attention to the back. Now my hair has gone from 3B to areas behaving like 1A, and I'm potentially facing having to cut it off. I have struggled for years to grow my hair, so this isn't some minor inconvenience. This is hair I've spent years caring for, maintaining, and trying to grow. Having to potentially cut it because basic precautions weren't taken is beyond frustrating. And culturally, this is especially upsetting. Textured hair is not something you should be careless with. There is a huge difference between simply knowing how to use a hot tool and actually understanding how to protect and care for textured hair. I shouldn't have had to remind a "PROFESSIONAL" to use heat protectant. I shouldn't have had to watch them apply practically nothing. I kept in my straight hair for less than a week. AS SOON as I washed it .I knew something was wrong. Over the past week, i've been wondering how I'm going to recover my hair. There is no reversing this damage. I trusted you with hair I've spent years trying to grow. That trust was misplaced. I regret ever coming to this salon. The girl by the window did my hair . If I could I'd give it 0 stars.
