    Peiying Z.

    This is the first bad review that I've ever left on yelp, because I rarely write reviews and I hate to hurt people's business. Maybe my experience was a fluke, or maybe I just have different standards from other reviewers, but I am deeply disappointed by my haircut from this salon. Having just moved to Ithaca, I was recommended this salon by a Chinese friend, and I expected at least a decent experience based on the glowing yelp reviews. Boy was I wrong. I walked 40 minutes and paid 40 dollars for a simple trim and ended up with uneven sides and the most hideous back design for a short bob that I've ever seen. I have kept the same hairstyle for two years now. In the past, I have requested the same cut from at least half a dozen different stylists both in China and in the U.S. This is the first time that I've seen a STRAIGHT LINE back design. On top of that, I had to trim one side of my hair with a pair of stationary scissors after I got home because despite my multiple reminders, the stylist did not believe that one side was longer than the other. If there's anything good to say about the salon, I guess the receptionist was sufficiently nice, and the place looked big and clean. To those who plan to get their haircut here, I suggest that you make your requirements excruciatingly clear, or you may end up with the same level of frustration. Personally I do not plan to come back here.

    Spent $110 for a perm that resulted in my hair straighter than ever in an hour and damaged. Sorry to say it but completely incompetent.

    He is very experienced in Asian hairstyles. Very friendly service. The only drawback is he takes appointment only.

    Had my hair re-cut right after, at another Barber shop for half the price. Hair was blotchy and uneven. Parking is spacious.

    Henry "lightened" my hair - no, not in color, but in weight - by a method I had long forgotten that it existed.

She was a total professional from…read morestart to finish and from the moment she responded to my inquiry email, I was excited to work with her. As soon as I sat in her chair for my hair trial, I knew I was in good hands. I hadn't had my hair done since my senior prom and every blowout I've ever had disappears in a matter of hours. Needless to say, I was a total newbie to getting styled. I had some vague instructions/inspiration pictures, but Kristin really listened to me and offered her expertise when it was clear I really wasn't sure of my vision. During the trial, she tried out a couple different things and listened to me when I told her to use way more hairspray than she thought was necessary. I expected her to be on my a** for clear instructions for my bridesmaids, but she never pressured me to make decisions I didn't want to and was totally flexible to tailor each girl's style on the day-of without compromising on time. Even when someone in my party went MIA and threw off the timeline, Kristin kept her cool and pivoted to make the most of the time. We went in on a Sunday, so Kristin let us take over her studio so we could hang out together, get dressed, blast music, and eat snacks. She was a gracious host and even let our traveling makeup artists set up shop in her chairs. The space is also super funky and I am elated with how the pictures came out. As for the finished product - I could have cried. I felt like an absolute princess surrounded by a all of my fairy godmothers. My hair was better than I could have imagined because she was not afraid to use her judgement to create something she knew would be beautiful. She also deviated a bit (in the best way) from what we had done at the trial, which told me she was being very thoughtful and not just using muscle memory to play it safe. Love this spot, love Kristin, would do it all again if I could!

    Kristine is amazing! She has been doing my hair for years. She knows what she is doing and she…read morelistens to you

As I had a wedding coming up (and was new to the area), so I was a little lost on things like where to get my dress tailored, what Salons could handle large bridal parties and such. Laura was willing to take the time to give me suggestions from her years of experience in Ithaca!! Needless to say all of her recommendations were right on. But that's just the extras - I have now had both my hair cut and waxing done with Laura (2-3 times each). The hair cuts were really good, and she's great at taking practicality into the mix when cutting your hair. For example, I'm someone who likes to blow dry my hair only on occasion and then only do minimal styling. She took all of that into account and gave me a great haircut that could be worn naturally or with my novice level of styling (instead of giving me a really cute style that I could never hope to recreate on my own as I've often gotten before). As for waxing, she manages to keep a constant stream of friendly chatting going through the whole process so that you don't have time to think about the potential pain coming your way. As someone mentioned in a previous review - the perfect balance of professional and friendly while being very thorough! I would highly recommend the 410 Salon!!

She also had a lot of suggestions for things like facial hair removal and discoloration (which weren't a part of her facial). What I loved most was she says it like it is, and does not sugarcoat your situation. This way you know exactly what to work on.
