Excuse the lens flare but look how soft these half waves are! I can't get over how great my hair looks. Super happy!!
Susanna L.

I've been seeing Jay for years for my semi-annual haircut and he never fails me! He knows exactly what type of cut I like and the style I'll look best in based on my face shape. No matter where he goes, I'll always follow Jay for all my hair needs. Bonus: he's super responsive via text and understanding when it comes to scheduling an appointment! How often do you have hair stylists that will accommodate your busy schedule? Go see Jay; you will not be disappointed.

last update, people please check the pics and full text. i just post the amount of hair i lost after i wash the first time. this will be the last time i dye my hair. just my honest opinion with jay and the salon he currently work at now. u paid cheaper for a cheaper service. 1. jay said because i dye my hair before and bleach twice today so it's normal that i lost a lot of hair. please check the pics see how it breaks. 2. color was clearly not even. i only did one color like a violet light purple. again please see the picture i attach i haven't even wash my hair yet. 3.the assistant was def not gentle cuz the second bleach was painful not only just cuz the chemical but also she just pulls hair really hard. 4. jay did apologize. 5. the old Chinese lady refused to give me any discount for compensation of the not even color or hair lost because i choose to pay with card. i paid 174.2 include tips. that would be all. you guys can judge the rest. 2018.10.27 i honestly believe it's your job to evaluate it first then just start doing it. we are customers not professionals like you. i woke up this morning realizing there are more breaks which "i" found out then inform "you", then you goes "yeh it's risky i guess... yeh sorry..." i know u try to blow dry and cover it up, basically the whole centered part of my hair are all broken down. it is your job to tell ur customers what exactly is going on, i do understand there are risks, u didn't even talk or mentioned about it before we started. the not even color is totally ur fault. i didn't ask any ombré just one color. u let ur assistant do it so u can go do other people's hair. how does that even make sense? beside that my ears are having allergic reaction. you should at least tell ur lady boss to compensate me with charging me less, instead u just walk away set down scrolling on ur phone again. very not cool when i don't speak ur language and u guys don't speak english or mandarin much during the paying process. i have been very respectful i tipped 20 for you assistant even when she pulled my hair too hard and parts of the blow dryer just fell down on me TWICE during the whole process. 20 dollars is a really good tips for the whole 140 original price, don't even get me stared why eventually ur lady boss charge me 174.2 because of tax and what not. i respect hard working people. i know how hard it is to survive or make a living in nyc. i pay her 20 despite of the unpleasantness because i respect her and i respect elderly workers. again whoever trying to get a hair cut or hair dye there good luck. you guys are on ur own.

Two process bleach + one hair dye + a hair cut

One of the best hair experiences I've ever had. I have Asian dark hair and wanted to dye it silver. Jay and his assistant was very patient and skillful. Very happy with the result!

I've been going to Jay for years, he does a great job. He gives good advice on length, color etc for your type of hair texture. Highly recommend!

Takes his time. Great with color and cut. I love my color every time he does it. I get a lot of compliments. Highly recommend Jay!

I met Jay back in 2009 at the former Mess Salon on Mott St. I followed Jay to his new location on Mulberry. Even after moving out of manhattan I still make the trek downtown to see him. I have never been disappointed. Here are some some pics of from color and cuts over the years.

Since it was such a meaningful trip, I decided to incorporate a little self-care with some spa day activities -- and I'm so glad I did! Booking my appointment online was seamless, and I had no issues securing a spot with Ceaser. From the moment I arrived, the vibe at West Vibe Salon was welcoming and professional. Ceaser is truly an artist! He listened to exactly what I wanted and delivered a cut and color that I absolutely LOVE. I've received so many compliments since my visit, and I couldn't be happier with how it turned out. Ceaser's attention to detail and care for his clients are unmatched. He even shared tips for maintaining my highlights and keeping my hair healthy, which I really appreciated. If you're looking for a salon that offers top-notch service and results, West Vibe Salon is the place to go. I can't wait to come back in December -- this time with my daughter so she can have her own incredible experience! Thank you, Ceaser, for making me feel like my best self. You've gained a loyal client for life! Michelle

I paid $480 for my appointment and left with hair that looked patchy and not like what we had discussed. While disappointing results can sometimes happen, what bothered me most was the complete lack of communication afterward. I reached out to Masaki on May 13 regarding my concerns and attempted to resolve the issue privately. I never received a response. It has now been about a month, and despite giving plenty of time for a reply, I have been ignored. I did not immediately leave reviews or make public comments because I wanted to give him the opportunity to address the situation directly. Unfortunately, that opportunity was never taken. For $480, I expected a higher standard of work and customer service. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend Masaki.

I nearly fell asleep in the chair and woke up with the job done. It's very pricey but I was comfortable the whole time. So, great service but expect a sad wallet if it's not in your price range. That said, pretty standard pricing for the location. If you're going to bleach your hair, you'd probably get the most out of it by trying a funky cool color but I just like the natural look. There's a discount if you have student ID. Would recommend this place.

I asked for ash brown (which I usually get) but I got a way lighter color than expected and the bleach (he went over the bleach twice) really damaged my hair. On top of that, they charged me for a haircut I never asked for. During the balayage, the stylist cut/thinned (no idea what he did because he never asked me) some of my hair (maybe 10 "snips"?) and they later charged me an additional $70 for the "haircut." This really pissed me off because in the middle of my appointment, I even heard an assistant ask in Mandarin "is she getting a haircut?" and the stylist shook his head. I was really unhappy with my hair that I went to get a hair treatment (for the dry, damaged hair) and toner at a different salon a week later. That stylist even asked "who did your hair?"

A hidden gem near Koreatown. Walked in without an appointment to inquire about a perm and haircut…read more Was quickly seated by friendly Ria and assigned Ai as my stylist. And what a fortunate thing I was, because I have now found my new go to person for all hair related needs. I highly recommend Ai for your stylist. Her attention to detail is superb and it is apparent she is a perfectionist as she even requested to trim my eyebrows to balance the cut against face shape. Reference this review and request her honest consultation for your intended style before getting a cut; I can almost guarantee you will be amazed by the end result. However, what ultimately made me leave a review was what Ai did NOT do. It was the fact that she advised me NOT to get a perm that day. She recommended it would be better to grow out my hair longer for the intended style. What refreshing honesty that prioritizes the best for your client instead of upselling any unnecessary service. I walked into NewHair with a quarter life crisis and a bowl cut. I came out 1.5 hours later having realized my full potential as a Temu BTS member, with the best haircut I've had in New York City. Thank you, Ai.
