My haircut with Jason was absolutely incredible! I got a cut and color and the attention to detail was amazing. I told him I wanted to go a bit cooler than my natural brown because I had recently done a color analysis and found out I'm a "cool winter". He immediately understood and recommended the color for me. After showing him some pics of what I wanted for my haircut, he also made appropriate recommendations. He even asked if I had any restrictions for work and if I go to the gym and need to tie my hair up. It was so lovely to talk to Jason throughout the appointment (even with my elementary Mandarin skills ) Jason's partner was also very attentive while washing and coloring my hair. The booking process was very seamless and the salon texted me to adjust my appointment. The salon itself is so nice and clean, very relaxing to be in. I'll definitely become a regular here! read more

I made an appointment online for 12 pm on Saturday. Still had to wait for a while since I didn't specify a stylist when making the appointment. A lady initially checked me in and promised to give me a hair cut, but she was busy with other clients. I sit there for a while. A male stylist, Ben, who was next to me offered to cut my hair. He probably just spent 20 mins on my hair and did a horrible job. It looked ok when he blew dry and stylized my hair, but my hair is sticking out after the first washing at home. Obviously he didn't trim the layers well. read more

This hair salon has popped up in my searches every time I look for a simple hair cut and I've finally come to try it out. My sisters and mom have been coming pretty regularly and are happy with their haircuts so I swung by to get a simple wash & cut. I walked in on a week day around 12:30-1 pm or so, without making a prior appointment. I mentioned that I had to be at a doctor's appointment by 2pm, would it be possible for them to fit me in for a haircut? They said it was doable. They were nice and thorough with washing my hair and I ended up having my hair cut by Kenny. My Mandarin Chinese is just so-so and maybe because of that they thought I could speak Cantonese haha (I do not). They offered to speak to me in English but I was like no no, let me use my mediocre Mandarin but we were able to communicate just fine lol. I was unable to judge how well they can communicate in English, for anyone who might not speak Mandarin. On that note, I'd recommend coming prepared with reference pictures! My hair length was to my chest, like maybe mid chest length and very thick. I asked for my hair to be cut about shoulder length and every time I ask this at any salon, hair stylists are always like, are you sure you want to chop off that much at once? So I conceded and had it cut a bit below shoulder length so that I could still tie my hair up in a tiny ponytail. In addition to the cut, I asked for my hair to be thinned quite a bit (imagine Hagrid level of hair, I kid) as well as a slight side bang. Just in case, I came prepared with reference pictures and showed Kenny my reference pics along with my requests before he started cutting. Kenny was pretty efficient in cutting & even styled my hair nicely before the time I had to leave by. I've paid much more elsewhere for about the same simple haircut so the prices at Hair 101 are very fair. I think my sisters usually pay base price $30-35 for a wash & cut but my base wash & cut price was $40. It could be due to the thickness & length of my hair (my sisters have thinner hair) or perhaps the person cutting my hair? My sisters said they usually have their hair cut by a lady named Even at the salon & are happy with her cutting skills as well. There's a bathroom down the hall that you can ask for the bathroom key at the desk. I paid in cash & was on my merry way in time for my appointment. Although I did ask Kenny about how busy it usually is and he mentioned that they tend to get a lot busier in the afternoons so I must have gotten lucky right before a busy period. If you're worried about waiting, I'd say make an appointment ahead of time if coming at a busy time. Overall I'm pretty happy with how my hair turned out and the price of my service, I rec! The salon is on Main Street, closer to Northern Blvd and I think on the 2nd floor. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

I asked for a light trim and refresh on my long layers, I showed them reference pictures of long layers with chin length face framing pieces. I walked out with the most thinned out haircut with bangs too short. Also he went crazy thinning out my already not thick hair. I went home already not liking it but willing to give it a chance, but after the next morning I cried because I have no volume in my hair, the ends are stringy because of the thinning scissors, and bangs that are too short for my face shape. Although the price is affordable, I regret coming here and should have paid a bit more for a haircut I asked for. read more

Great service provided and you should looking for Jason, the best styling designer and haircut ever

Made appointment for wash and blow out the day before. Came in next morning the stylist didn't hear of the appointment but was still able to get the process started. The hair wash was great, the guy gave me a brief head massage. I showed the stylist pics of what I want. He more or less got it. Anyway the blowout looks good, I would go back again for the same service. $25 for wash and blowout for a few inches past shoulder hair, tip not included in that. read more

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. read more

Hair 101 - Not the best after pic but very nicely cut layers - Hair Stylists Near Me - Flushing, New York

I looked at reviews before deciding to go here. Was disappointed, unfortunately. I feel that there was not enough care and attention to giving a good cut. That's all I needed, nothing fancy, only about 2 inches to cut. The cut took about 10 minutes with not much styling. Wish it was a better experience as it is not easy to find a good hair stylist. read more

Hair 101 - Hair Stylists Near Me - Flushing, New York

I have been coming to hair 101 for the past 4 years whenever I need to cut my hair or need to get a treatment! Just got a haircut there recently since the ends were getting a little dry and my bangs were getting too long and the haircut was great as usual! The price for cutting long hair has increased comparing to the last time I came and it was $35, which is understandable with inflation. Whenever I come here, I always make an appointment and request for Kenny. Highly recommend him as he is very patient and nice! Other than cutting my hair, he had also helped me doing Japanese hair straightening in the past and he did a great job! He might be busy and had to juggle between customers but he never forgot about me and would always check on my hair. While this place takes walk-ins, I would recommend making an appointment ahead since this place can get busy sometimes. read more

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. read more

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.

Hair 101 - Hair Stylists Near Me - Flushing, New York

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. read more

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 read more

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! read more

Hair 101 - Hair Stylists Near Me - Flushing, New York

I went to Hair 101 to get my hair professionally dyed for the first time and left extremely satisfied with the results. I reached out via text and was able to secure a balayage appointment with Even approximately a week in advance. They were very flexible with scheduling and helped to find a time that would work with me and allow sufficient time for the dyeing process. In addition, they informed me of the 50% off promotion they were having on all coloring services, making them MUCH more inexpensive than any other salon I could find. When I arrived, I was seated promptly and had the opportunity to discuss what I was looking for with Even. For non-Mandarin speakers, it may be a little difficult. I made sure to bring plenty of reference pictures, and that definitely helped communicate what I wanted. Even was very sweet and seemed extremely knowledgeable about her craft. The whole process took ~4 hours, and I appreciated how thorough they were with bleaching, washing, and dyeing my hair, in addition to drying and styling. The salon was very brightly lit and clean, and they had a bathroom that I was able to use during breaks. I would highly recommend Hair 101 to anyone looking to try something new with their hair! read more

$35 for a wash and cut for long hair?? What a great experience for a great price! It's within 5 mins of walking from Main St Flushing station too. I asked for a V shaped cut with layers and it was perfectly done! I only cut my hair twice a year so I was glad to find a place that I would return to, time and time again. Def recommend! 10/10 experience read more

I'm very low maintenance when it comes to my hair. I cut my hair once a year, and only just when it gets a bit too long, and chop of 6-8 inches in one go. After a couple stops in main st for food, I found this spot. I went on an early Monday evening without an appt. $30 for wash+dry+cut -- def get your money's worth. The guy who cut my hair had great attention to detail, spending almost an hour making sure there weren't any stray hair, and made sure the length he chopped off wasn't too short. read more

The WORST hair salon, do not ever go here!!!! Rude and terrible customer service. I came in asking for a balayage / ash brown blonde hair, and they somehow turned my hair to dark blue and black, and cut my hair all crooked. When I got upset they kept blaming the fact that they had no idea why it would become blue. Super unprofessional. They told me to come back the next day to fix it l and I had to bleach and redye my entire hair. I wasted more hours to fix it and the hairdresser STILL tried to gaslight me into paying $320???? Terrible service and they acted like I was the problem, when they are the ones who messed up my hair. I will never come back. read more

I loved how Even listened to my opinion, gave me a detailed information, and dyed my hair without any damage. ALSO loved the hair cut with bangs! :) read more

Walked in without an appointment and was told I might have to wait a while, so I definitely recommend booking an appt to avoid waiting! I waited for a few minutes in their hallway (their "waiting room") and then was taken to get my hair washed. The lady was really nice and complimented how healthy my hair was (*blush*). Then I was taken to a chair where I had to wait about 30 min for one of the hairstylists to become available as everyone had their appointments come in. Eventually, a female hairstylist became free and helped cut my hair. I asked for layers and long side bangs which she delivered on. Also got my hair thinned out (maybe a bit too much...) and she was very meticulous with cutting my hair. She even styled it with the blow dryer at the end which I was surprised about (because places I go to usually just blow dry your hair and that's it). This is a pretty good place to get a decent cut and wash in Flushing! read more

So I've been here a couple times and this is definitely the first time I walked out genuinely not liking my my hair. It doesn't look terrible but it's definitely not what I was looking for. I booked an appointment to get a haircut and got there in time - got an awesome wash with a nice head massage too. I got paired up with Sam and showed him the photos I grabbed from Pinterest to give him an idea of what I was looking for. We talked and he said that the back being too short won't look good so I pulled up another photo with a longer bob and we agreed on this length instead. I just wanted it to be long in the front, and shorter in the back and for it to look clean. The process was fine - it seemed like he knew what he was doing so I just let him do his thing. I saw another photo on here of someone who got a really nice bob so I figured it was pretty straight forward. Throughout the process, he was saying that I have a lot of grays and that I probably should consider balayage so I don't have to dye my hair that often - the photos & videos of these were beautiful so I thought I was definitely in good hands. I did want to come back to do the balayage too. Once he was finished, I noticed that there were a lot of shorter pieces so I said that I didn't want layers and that it looks messy. My hair felt pretty nice though since I was overdue for a haircut. He said he'll blow dry and style it so I can see and said that because my hair was thick, lightening the weight in some areas was going to make it look full. It looked good at this point so I just paid and tipped and left. I couldn't really see the messiness until I went to the mall and the bright lights really brought out all of these like short layers that I didn't ask for. I also think that I was only seeing my hair immediately after blow drying so once the fluffiness wore off, I can really see how bad it looked. At this point, I was like okay - let's wait to see what it looks like after I wash it and maybe it'll be better. This morning I washed my hair and after it dried, I feel like I looked like a 5 year old girl. The layers genuinely look worse than they did before and I am not at all happy with my haircut. Here's where I'm going to rant - I really just don't understand why salons are obsessed with layers - they're not for everyone and when someone tells you NO layers, it means exactly that. When someone shows your a picture of a haircut with no layers, it also means NO layers. No. Layers. It's a pretty simple request. Honestly, I just want a refund because I came in wanted my hair to look more cleaned up and it still looks messy but short. I can't even go back to get it fixed because there's not enough hair to correct it. Thank god that it's long enough to tie up or hide for the next 3 months until I get some length back. Also at this point - I genuinely hate layers and this is probably the first thing I'm going to say to anyone else that touches my hair from this point forward. read more

Very clean, great stylists, and they are really reasonably priced. I can walk in on a weekday without an appointment for a shampoo and blowout and practically sit right down, but Friday thru Sunday you don't need but should make an appointment. They're super busy on those days. They have stylists who speak a variety of Asian languages, but as an English only speaker, I have no problem communicating. They're full service including chemicals like perms and color at various price points. Can't recommend them enough!!! read more

Hair 101 - Hair Stylists Near Me - Flushing, New York

Absolutely NOT. Do not come to this salon. I just got a haircut with Kenny two days ago - first time. He speaks Cantonese (so do I) and we had a great conversation about prioritizing healthy hair. Throughout the appointment, he mentions how long and healthy my hair is. I showed him many inspo pictures, and specifically asked to keep my volume, long rounded layers, and face-framing ones to my chin. Not too difficult of a request. I'm selective about my hair because it's got some length and volume to it and made sure to communicate in Cantonese if this can be done. He says yes and so, I put my faith and trust into him. Right off the bat, he snips off so much of my volume because of dead ends. But then the layers end up being so ridiculously choppy - looking at it right now I feel like I literally look like Professor Snape. Lmao. The bottom part of my hair is now thinned out but the upper part is choppy and almost bulbous looking. At the end of the haircut, he blows it out before I can even ask him to show me how the back of my head looks with a mirror. Then when I asked him if the layers will be softened more, he says he's not done cutting but proceeds to style it with a curling iron... This is my worst haircut yet. I now need to find another hair stylist to correct his work. First and last time. I've never been so disappointed at someone's lack of attention and detail to clients. read more

I don't usually get my hair done since I feel like it never comes out exactly how I want it, but I decided to try this place out after my dad cut his hair here a few times and always came home with good things to say about it.

There was a slight language barrier sometimes but they always made sure to make me feel welcome and comfortable at all times!

Hair 101 looks like every other hair salon in Flushing. Except one barber is amazing! His ability to cut hair surpassed all other barbers! My family member recommended this barber. And I'm so glad I tried him! He takes his time (his hair cuts take about 1 hour) but he really takes the care to cut my hair. He explains why the haircut fits my face, which direction my hair grows in and what hair dyes looks great with my face. He was trained in Hong Kong, and mainly uses scissors. He chats with you and really considers how each strand falls across your face and how the cut will look afterwards. I usually leave with better hair than I arrived. He usually directs an aide to dye my hair but he always considerate of how the overall hair looks. He also will blow out my hair after the cut and/or the coloring process. Now he also cuts K's hair and K has never had better haircuts in his life! Thank you so much Hair 101! read more

I had Kenny did my hair. Although we cant communicate he dont speak english and I had to use Translate app but He did a great job. My hair was bra line length and I like to change shoulder length or even shorter. He suggested layer + shoulder length and i trusted him. The result came out nice. Then I asked for coloring. They help me choose a good base color that last long ( this part i cant clarify yet since its only 2-3 days after but fingercross). They have 20% off so Cut + Dye = 100. Overall the vibe is nice, the hair is nice. Im happy and highly recommend the place. I just hope they can speak better English in order to have Non Chinese client. read more

Dying you hair the perfect ash color is always scary not only because it's costly, but it's also hard to find a salon that knows how to achieve the colors with your hair. Luckily I was referred to Hair 101 after asking around, and booked my appointment right away after finding out about their grand opening and their special on yelp. The salon is located the second floor with clean entrance and cute stairway welcoming you in. You will have no problem finding it. The salon itself is very clean and modern. They have lots of snacks and tea, and also offer wifi if you want to watch your favorite show while you get your hair done. They seemed very passionate about hair and are always looking at new styles and such. The staff had a nice fun vibe, and were seemed excited to see how my hair would come out as well. My color/stylist was Feng, and I also got a trim from Shelley. I showed Feng a few photos of what hair that I liked and didn't like. To be honest, I am very indecisive and I didn't know what I wanted, but they were understanding and guided me through some options that I had with my hair type. After some discussion he was confident in reading my mind and we decided on a ash brown ombre!! (eek! My first third time trying to get the ashy look!) Feng and his assistant were amazing. Feng talked me through the steps we would take and the colors we would see in my hair as we worked toward the color we would go through. He also taught me how to take care of it in order to prevent tones from showing up in the future. He was very confident working with ashy colors, and very attentive the whole process. The whole time, I felt like I was being pampered. I nodded off a few times while they were applying product, and super relaxed when they washed my hair (they do a small head massage which was super nice). The whole process took around 7 hours total (woaah!), with 2 color processing and 2 washes. But the end result was AMAZING! I definitely recommend coming here for coloring your hair if you looking for the ashy look, especially if you have dark thick hair like me. My hair feels great, and not damaged at all. They are experienced and confident with colors, and they really care about your hair as much as you do! Their English is mediocre so I definitely recommend having a idea of the colors you want or with lots of pictures of the style and feel you want. That way they have a good idea what you like :) read more

Hair 101 - Shoulder cut!! - Hair Stylists Near Me - Flushing, New York

Walked in after asking for an appointment on Yelp, but there was some miscommunication so I had to wait a while, which I didn't mind. After a bit, one of the guys asked if I could get my hair cut first because there was no one available to wash my hair, which was a bit odd. The guy who ended up cutting my hair seemed like a novice and cut my hair after lifting it right above my head leaving hair strands falling right on top of my head. A lady was finally free to wash my hair after my cut, which felt great! However, I was in for a lot more waiting with my hair wet in a towel my hair because the hairstylist went to take another customer as I got my hair washed. I wished they let me dry it on my own and leave. Decent and inexpensive cut.. but not worth the wait. read more
