    Bridal updo -- just what I wanted!
    P W.

    I booked Karma Salon for my pre-rehearsal dinner blowout and for my wedding day hair and makeup. They were fantastic! It was hands down the best blowout I've ever had (especially considering that humidity always flattens my hair) and I loved the updo that I got for my wedding. I received many, many compliments. My mother also got her hair and makeup done at salon for the wedding day and really loved their work too. Also, a friend coming into town for the wedding popped into Karma for a last-minute haircut and even though they were closing up, they agreed to cut his hair for him after he mentioned that he was coming to my wedding! Amazing!

    $55 every couple of weeks just to shave my head again is way too much. I'll be going to Hive for $15. Even tho I like Brooke at Karma.

    This is really two reviews. One great, one less great. First, I really like this place. I like the studio, I love Brooke, and I loved the haircut she gave me. And I think their prices are generally fair. If you are going for a regular shampoo/cut/blow dry/style I *do* recommend Karma. I also referred two friends there who have gone and loved their hair. Second, I likely won't go back now, at least for a while. I got a cool buzz cut that fits my style and the season, and I wanted to maintain it every 2-3 weeks or so, and maybe try some etching. Another detail is that I am allergic to most shampoos (including those used at Karma) and so I don't get shampooed when I get haircuts there or anywhere. When I inquired about whether the price would be different given these specifics, the owner Cheryl politely told me that it would still be $55. She said I could bring my own shampoo and that buzz cuts can take as long as regular haircuts. In my head I just thought "nope," but out loud I said "okay thanks I will find somewhere else then." I already have. It is $15 for a buzz cut at Hive in downtown, and even if they charge extra for etching or can't do etching, at least I will have a clean look throughout the summer. I'm not even mad, Karma has to charge what they have to charge -- and they are always busy -- but this policy does not fit my needs for now and I have to say I'm fairly put off by the inflexibility.

    Wonderful staff! I live my  hair!

    See all

    I love Karma Salon. They're right near my work, and keep me looking good. My partner loves them as well.

    So I went in a few days ago and was unhappy with my hair, but I think there were a lot of things…read morethat was accidentally miscommunicated. I went in again today, and Erin fixed my hair (free of charge) and it looks absolutely amazing. The roots are blended perfectly, and my root touch up looks so perfect and it is blended seamlessly. She also gave me a free blow out, which she absolutely did not need to, but she did and my hair just looks so great! I am more than happy with it. I also did the conditioning treatment, which revitalized my dead hair. Overall, I would highly recommend Salon J and especially Erin. I have always loved her haircuts, and I'm now happy that I can confidently endorse her hair dyeing and root touch ups as well. I used to go to New York to get my hair done, and my only regret is that I didn't go to Erin earlier. I'll miss her and amazing hair cutting/dyeing!

So so disappointed and unflattering on me. I hate being seen in public with this hair that cost over $300.

    Back in the day when I was young and impressionable, my mother told me that only Korean people…read moreunderstand how to cut Korean hair. For this reason, I have had more than one fobulous perm/dye job/you name it. I have also learned over time that my hair - dark, thin, and straight - doesn't require that much expertise to handle. Regardless, I find comfort in Korean hair salons, and am living proof of the efficacy of brainwashing. So when I found Park Jun on Orange around the same time that my bangs were going rogue, I decided to break my no-haircuts-in-New-Haven rule and see what happened. The space is clean, well-kept, and pretty open, with most of the interior visible through windowed walls from outside. I walked in and the lady on duty, who I suspect is the owner as there was no one else around, asked if I could wait for a little bit while she finished up with another customer (a male of, I suspect, the Korean persuasion, who minutes later had a spiffy haircut). I didn't wait long. I asked for a basic cut, and that's what I got. Shampoo, cut, blow-dry and all took twenty minutes or so, and cost a reasonable $40. Or was it $30? Shit, there go my "Useful" votes. The lady was very friendly and asked me questions about myself as if she were actually interested. She didn't judge me for my totally worthless language skills either. The one thing that I did find pretty funny was that I left the place with my hair styled almost exactly like hers, kind of straight with the ends curled in, and not a whole lot like mine when I walked in. It didn't matter though, as it washed back to normal, and I was happy with the cut. I'm glad I found this place and I'll be back again for East Coast hair maintenance.

    I wish I could give this place zero stars, I came here before my wedding and got my bangs trimmed…read morebut whoever cut my hair (I'm not even sure if she was a regular employee there) did not know how to cut hair!!!! It looked like a pre-schooler had cut my hair, and no not a precocious one! I had a major meltdown that night and almost let it ruin my wedding, but fortunately I got over it. that being said, I would only send my enemies here
