A "wash'n'go 'do for a gal on the go ...
Sonia H.

"It's just hair." This, from a card-carrying hairdressing salon owner. It's a statement that might freak some cashed-up coiffsters right out, and put others at ease - like me. After umming and ahhing at spending $65-100+ on a trim in Manhattan I thought, there must be a cheaper, yet choosier, way. I mean, look at our Asian hair - straight as the highway to hell and in any color you like as long as it's black - what's so hard about that? I decided to try the well-reviewed-considering (see yelp.com) Jun Salon in Chinatown. Jun is an unpretentious gal who reminds me of one of my favorite gal cousins. She says she use to do $105+ Uptown cuts before she went cheap'n'choosy - and many of her clients followed her, not minding having to pick their way along the cracked and cabbage-strewn sidewalks of Chinatown for their discount 'do. There is something twee (we use the word 'daggy' downunder) about China town decor - the surgery-grade fluorescent lighting, hard white tiles, red lanterns and Taiwanese auto mechanic's calendars featuring off-duty Singapore girls ... yet as a Chinese descendent I find it strangely comforting as well. Be prepared for a super lengthy shampoo and scalp massage. We're talking two different kinds of shiatsu and several sudses - "to relax the hair", said my attendant. Oh my god. Heaven. And to prove it, my movie got an inordinate number of hits on YouTube right after I posted it, from the shampoo kinky brigade. I blogged about this strange phenomenon: http://galfromdownunder.blogspot.com/2008/12/most-bizarro-kink.html "What, you never seen Warren Beatty in Shampoo?" chided a friend. Then followed a full service cut and blow dry ranging anywhere from a trim to a total transformation - all for just $22 ($18 for guy cut). I've made a project of getting a cheap'n'whatever haircut in every country I visit - a $2 re-style in Peru, a trim in Cuba, a scissoring by an olde school 'dresser complete with those big boofy hairdryers that look like cranial MRI units in Dublin. Results vary - my last cut was a disaster, and required styling with a brush and hair dryer, things I have no patience or room for when on the road. It was layeres and ended up like hippy dippy mama. "You need wash and go," said Jun, showing me a bob style that was long at the sides and shorter at the back, exposing, dare I say, a little neck, "to make you look taller," she said. When I hesitated, she said, "it's just hair. It will grow." A bit of Zen and the art of pageboy maintenance never went astray ... Afterwards, you can walk next door for terrific dim sum at Ping's, recommended by the Filipino client in the chair next to me. What's not to love? Keep up the great work, Jun, by keeping down the great price! You can see the ("shampoo porn" apparently!) video I took in the chair on my Cheap'n'Choosy blog post: http://cheapnchoosy.blogspot.com/2008/12/22-haircut-with-da-works-jun-salon.html

Jun is at 8 Pell Street now! Jun is extremely attentive and takes all aspects into consideration when styling and working on your hair. I have been going to Jun for 6 years now. I'm am not currently living in NYC and every time I come home between terms at school I make sure to see Jun. No one else is allowed to touch my hair. I once let someone else do my hair and it was just a mess and I had to rush to Jun to fix it.

Classic Bob cut for $30 (incl. shampoo + blow dry).

Appointments became rushed, started late, and lacked even basic professionalism. You're barely greeted when you walk in, and the overall tone makes it feel like you're inconveniencing them just by being there. I told them multiple times I had a head injury from a concussion and the lack of care was very concerning how abrasively they washed and handled my head. My most recent appointment was a complete failure. I asked for a warm, golden brown and came prepared with multiple reference photos. While the color was processing, I clearly flagged that it was pulling purple. That concern was dismissed, and the product was left on longer. The result was the darkest my hair has ever been, almost black with a cool, purple hue. The exact opposite of what I requested. The color job is all mismatched, the lower part of my hair significantly darker, the roots are sloppy and uneven. When I pointed this out, the response was defensive and dismissive. At one point, I was sarcastically asked if I wanted to "bleach it," which is an inappropriate and careless suggestion for already fine hair. It was mind blowing to have this handled so poorly and then be rushed through a cut that does not look anywhere close to the quality of the past cuts. I followed up requesting a refund, given that this will take months to correct and fade, and received no response for over 48 hours. It's not even about the money - it's about the severe lack of respect. What's most surprising is that this level of defensiveness and lack of accountability was unacceptable, especially after such a grave mistake. Instead of thoughtful adjustment and ownership, the response was dismissive in the moment and silent afterward. Mistakes happen. How they're handled is what defines a business. This was not handled well. NYC has no shortage of salons that can deliver both technical skill and professionalism. This is not one of them. Updating this with a pic and additional NYC HAIR SALON SEO terms so future customers are warned since the salon has decided to block me after no satisfactory resolution. The pic at the top right was me pre-hair f*** up. Only come to this salon if you'd like to come home and cry.

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 went back recently to bleach my hair and I was so shocked by how good it came out - and in only 4-5 hours! He's definitely a professional and knows what he's doing especially when it comes to dying/bleach/toning and cutting short Asian hair to fit my face shape. I rarely need to tell him to fix or that I'm not satisfied with my hair; I trust his process and he's never failed me.

Every appointment begins with a careful consultation--she checks how I'm doing, how my style and color are lasting, and examines my hair to see if the look still suits me. Since I like new styles and colors, she always asks what I have in mind. With an expert eye, she adapts each cut and color to my face shape, hair texture, and skin tone. Yelena welcomes my ideas while remaining honest, professional, and genuinely concerned about hair health. If my request isn't possible or advisable, she explains why and suggests options. She is focused and strives for perfection. Her upbeat energy makes every visit delightful. It is an indulgent experience. As salon manager, she treats every appointment as personalized, not routine. Quality and consistency are remarkable--I get outstanding results every visit. Her loyal client list speaks volumes. She keeps her skills up to date and stays ahead of trends while maintaining her own chic, sophisticated style. After 20 years as Yelena's client, I confidently recommend her to anyone seeking a stylist who treats hair as art and creates a look uniquely tailored to you. Yelena truly is unmatched.

I needed a hair cut and style on a Saturday. I requested an appointment online two weeks in advance…read more(they had plenty of availability) and they confirmed it the next day. Super easy and convenient. My stylist was Senait and she was fabulous! I showed her pictures of my past haircuts I liked and she did a superb job recreating it. She was friendly and talkative without feeling like she had to talk to me the entire time. She did a fantastic job and I will absolutely go back to see her again. The whole appointment (wash, cut, dry and style) took about an hour and cost $95 (I have relatively long hair, I believe they quote a price range to account for length). The salon itself was busy and a bit loud. It is very bright (likely because they do hair and makeup) and felt more like a party rather than a relaxing place/spa. They have a ton of staff so I was taken back right away. When I went, both men and women were there for haircuts and someone was getting their makeup done. I would absolutely go back and go to Senait again.

I came in for a trim, and discussed with my hair stylist that I wanted to mostly keep my length and…read morethe long layers. Before starting, we both agreed that the length was good (she'd just trim split ends) and that she'd reduce the layers I already had. She ended up cutting a lot more than we agreed, and I have lots of layers (more than before, that feel a little choppy). This isn't what I asked for at all, and I'm especially unhappy because we agreed on what to do before, and I mentioned I have a family wedding coming up and I wanted to make sure my hair is what I wanted leading up to it.
