This is a full-service hair salon and they offer hair coloring, perms, waxing, and hair straightening.

Vincent cut my hair and did an excellent job. I asked for an undercut haircut which isn't overly complicated, but I appreciated that he took his time and took 20 minutes to cut my hair.

Especially braids but Hadja didn't let me down. She scheduled me to come in the day after I spoke to her. All I had to do was send her a pic and she gave me an estimated quote. I wanted really small micro braids. My hair is extremely short (growing out a fairly fresh pixie cut) but she was able to catch my hair while keeping the braids neat. It's been a week and though the braids have loosened to where I don't have anymore pain my braids are all still in tact and none have slipped out. She is also a very sweet woman. She kept her portable heater on me while the shop warmed up and even gave me a scarf to cover up with. I will definitely make the trip back to Boston to get my hair braided by her and would absolutely recommend her to you as well. Thank you Hadja!

The hubs gets his hair cut by Mrs. Ngo who has good attention to detail and he always comes home looking polished. There are two other barbers working. Another friend also gets his hair cuts here and has been going for years. The place is small and no-frills but it's a great value ($15 + tip) considering the frequency that they go in.

I get my cut from Howie, the older gentleman and he is very precise with his work.

Not only does he cut my hair, but also shares his wisdom (which I am sure he has experienced a lot throughout his lifetime). Very friendly atmosphere. I saw some pictures on the wall, and I notice that former Celtics player Rick Fox got his cuts here! I would go nowhere else to get my haircuts!

Ever since my…read morefirst hair wash in Vietnam, I was bummed that I couldn't find anything comparable in the States. While there's been a recent boom in Chinese and Thai herbal washes, the closest 'real' spot used to be in Flushing--until I found Thy Hair Salon. They are a fantastic full-service salon (haircuts, color, makeup, you name it), but they've recently added the traditional Vietnamese hair wash to their menu. It literally felt like I'd been transported back to Vietnam! The staff is incredibly kind and the service is a total 10/10. They use traditional ginseng and herbs for the steaming process, and honestly, the scent is much more pleasant and refreshing than the versions I've tried at other spots. I walked out feeling like a brand-new person. If you're looking for an authentic, relaxing escape, this is it! --- Mình đã tìm kiếm một chỗ gội đầu dưỡng sinh gần nhà từ rất lâu rồi. Kể từ lần đầu trải nghiệm gội đầu massage tại Việt Nam, mình luôn cảm thấy tiếc vì ở Mỹ khó tìm được chỗ nào đúng chất như vậy. Gần đây rộ lên phong trào gội đầu thảo dược kiểu Trung hay Thái, nhưng trước đây muốn tìm chỗ ưng ý thì phải qua tận Flushing, NY. Thật may là mình đã tìm được Thy Hair Salon. Đây là một tiệm làm đẹp đầy đủ dịch vụ từ cắt tóc, tạo kiểu, nhuộm cho đến trang điểm... nhưng đặc biệt nhất là họ vừa cập nhật thêm dịch vụ gội đầu thảo dược chuẩn phong cách Việt Nam. Cảm giác thư giãn y hệt như đang ở quê nhà vậy! Các chị nhân viên ở đây rất dễ thương và nhiệt tình. Dịch vụ xứng đáng 10/10 -- gội xong mình cảm thấy như một con người mới, nhẹ bẫng cả đầu. Tiệm dùng nhân sâm và thảo mộc truyền thống để xông hơi, mùi hương rất dễ chịu và thơm hơn hẳn những chỗ gội kiểu Thái hay Trung mình từng thử. Rất đáng để trải nghiệm và ủng hộ!

With a special event coming up, I decided to get a spray tan at Urban Beauty Lounge since it has such glowing reviews. Booking was easy enough, and the ladies at the front desk were friendly. The spray tan itself was also quick and straightforward, but a few things struck me as odd and gave me a bad gut feeling: 1. The technician asked me if I wanted my face sprayed AFTER I already felt droplets on my face, and when I told her I had a full face of makeup on (including false eyelashes), she said that it's fine. I did some digging and have not seen this being the case at ANY spray tan salons - normally they ask that you remove your makeup or provide wipes before blasting your face with tanning solution. 2. On that note, there was no pre or post-care conversation except for a paper with instructions stuck on the wall (which, if you're not as familiar with spray tanning as I am, comes off as a lack of care overall. I had to do my own research on how to prepare). 3. The tanning solution they use is the same for every client, no customization of color, no asking what shade you want to be. This leads me to the results... I left my accelerated tan on for 2-3 hours as I wanted a more natural glow for my event. I followed their post-care poster to a tee. This morning, I wake up, go to the bathroom, and literally feel my stomach sinking. I am ORANGE as orange can be. My face is splotchy with orange streaks (from what I assume is the solution being sprayed OVER my foundation and makeup). I've never been this orange in my life, even with the shittiest cheapest drugstore fake tan I used once before. A day out from my event, and I'm scrambling to find DIY solutions at home to get this tan off of me. I'm embarrassed to leave the house looking like Snooki from Jersey Shore circa 2009. I don't know how it is that the other reviews are so positive: what experience and results did they have that differed so much from mine? Needless to say, I am really devastated and will not be going back. I've attached photos of my results (they look worse in person, trust me).

For a salon that has been in this location for 5 years, their unpacked boxes and unfinished display cabinet needs to be dealt with.

End time: 10pm UNPROFESSIONAL PROFESSIONALISM: The owner, The Natural stylist and The shampoo girls (2) were all wearing onsie pajama's "holiday fun" as they claim....unprofessional. The shampoo girl/Hair Braider (Sue-key...don't remember her name), know's nothing about natural hair and her comments were beyond rude!
