    I started coming to this hair salon since the end of my college year. I could never go to a different hair salon. I usually get my haircut here because they know how to deal with my hair type/texture. When I started my career, I decided to try a different hair style for a change. I got a balayage here 2 times. Each time, I leave feeling confident. I like how natural my hairdresser makes my hair looks. My first balayage lasted 2 years and I always get so many compliments. I always ask for Kenny to do my hair because I like the way he cuts my hair. He is very knowledgeable and I usually ask for his opinions on what hairstyle looks good on me. He also speaks Cantonese so that is how I communicate with him. This salon is kept so clean throughout the years. It looks very modern too! Also, they have the best hair wash here. They take their time to wash my hair and put a lot of effort to make me comfortable. Something to keep in mind: make sure to make an appointment during weekends and holidays. They can be quite busy.

    Hair immediately after

    Updating my review- I went to a different salon a few days after and the hair stylist told me that the person who did my hair severely damaged it and did not accurately do the balayage technique. He found discolored patches due to improper application of bleach in the middle of my head. He informed me that I should wait a few months for my hair to recover before I get my hair done again. The business owner replying that straightening my hair to make it the desired shade is very obvious that they are not professionals. Save your money and hair!

    Just got my full hair colored with highlights and returned the following week to get the keratin treatment. Prices here were very attractive - lower than other similar quality salons in Flushing (and significantly lower than Manhattan). Kenny takes pride in what he does and is meticulous in ensuring his customers are happy with the results. There are also other stylists there, and they have all been in this industry for a long time. Weekends are busy, but they do take walk-ins. It is best to show up early and get an estimate from Kenny directly.

    Not the best after pic but very nicely cut layers

    I very rarely get haircuts because they always turn out horrible, BUT I was SWEATING with my long thick hair so I looked on Yelp and this was the most promising yet affordable place for a wash and cut. I walked in at 9:50 am (says it opens at 10 am) and they took me right away. The hair washer was a bit aggressive, but superb neck massage. They gave me a random hairstylist and I showed him a picture of what I wanted, totally expecting him to probably butcher it, but he surprisingly didn't. He spent almost 1.5 hours cutting and drying my hair and he wanted to add waves for me too, but I said it was fine since I was going home to sleep anyways. I found out his name was Kenny.. THE KENNY from all the Yelp reviews before me. How lucky was I? Kenny is such a professional. He used to own his own salon in Shanghai, but eventually had to move to the US. If you're in Flushing. Go here and ask for Kenny. yo won't be disappointed. Oh and everything was just $40, but I tipped him and the washer well.

    First time dying my hair. A great price for balayage ($215). You'll need to know mandarin to communicate your asks with the hairstylist but she's absolutely incredible.

    Called around 1 PM day of for an appointment at 6 PM. They were very friendly, even with the slight language barrier. This was my first time getting solely a haircut at a salon and it was only $35 (and included a wash!). I showed them a picture of what I wanted and she knew right away what I wanted done and did a good job. My hair is severely damaged from years of bleaching but most of my split ends were cut off without cutting my hair too short.

    I've been coming to Hair 101 for my haircuts since 2018 because no other has ever compared to the luxury, quality and reasonable pricing of their services. Today, I went to get a highlight touch up, fearful the entire time from other salons who ruined my hair every time but I couldn't be any happier with the results. The hair turned out exactly what I was hoping for and I'm so grateful for the team that worked on my hair today. I will be coming back for touch ups and my regular haircuts! Hair 101 has never failed to impress me.

    After results

    This hidden gem actually SAVED my hair, I was so embarrassed to even go outside before. I can't recommend this place enough. I had my hair dyed blonde in California which broke off almost all my hair so then I was scared to dye the roots at a salon. I then dyed my hair at HOME, realized I didn't have enough bleach and was left with blonde, orange, black, and blue hair(from attempting to tone it). I found this place on google at first. The employees were the nicest people who are so attentive to everything and very knowledgeable. My outgrown blonde was already so damaged so they did their best to not damage it any further/ I also have jet black natural hair that's SUPER thin and fine; I was so surprised when there's no damage AT ALL. I left with the prettiest honey blonde color and hair softer than my natural hair!! I'm also a college student and the pricing was the BEST I've ever came across for professional hair experience in NYC. ( By the way, The choppy hair was just from previous damage/breakage, I didn't get my hair cut). The person who did my hair was kenny and the owner.

    visited nyc and wanted to leave looking and feeling different. i asked for an ash gray balayage and spent ~4.5 hours in the salon for this result that looked like my references! spent the day with Even and she spent a lotta time with the bleaching/foiling (i will warn, it's heavy and not for the weak). would love to be able to come again if i repeat my travels. note: it would help if you speak some mandarin chinese

    I've been a consistent customer to Hair 101 for years and my latest haircut did not disappoint! I was able to be served immediately as a walk in customer. Every time I try to ask for Kenny because he is so knowledgeable and skilled when it comes to hair. Years ago I came in with a disastrous dye job and he was able to work magic and somehow save it; since then I've been coming back for all my hair needs. He has always fulfilled my requests, and during my visit today he was able to cut and style my hair exactly like the reference picture I showed him and I walked away so happy! The price was great for the quality of service ($35 before tip), but keep in mind this place is CASH ONLY!

    Not what I asked for
