Note that this review is only for their nail/waxing salon. This is located in an entrance separate from the corner entrance if you continue to walk on 13th street. I've probably gone to this place for eyebrow waxing more times than I can remember. It's always the same person who does it (I wish I could remember her name, but I believe they only have one person who does waxing) and in my opinion she does an excellent job. She had told me she'd been doing this for 11 years and its very experienced so I totally trust her with my brows - they do frame your face, after all! It's also very cheap - $5+tip, as compared to many Manhattan salons that may charge upwards of $20. I also believe that this is quite clean, although they do use the same stick to place the wax on your skin, the strips are newly cut and she is courteous enough to put some kind of soothing cream or liquid on my skin after it has been waxed, which I appreciate. Just note that this place is very small and you may have to wait a bit before you get your brows done. read more

Don't come here unless you want your service to be rushed and them trying to gaslight you when they cut you as you keep bleeding. The woman also had the audacity to ask for more tip when everything was rushed. I really hope I don't get an infection from this. NEVER COMING BACK read more

Maeda Beauty Salon - Cut me so badly - Cosmetics & Beauty Supply Near Me - Sheepshead Bay, New York

The worst experience ever for eyelash extension. I know it's only $20 you get what you paid for. But if you're gonna do this bad you better not do it. Or maybe charge more and do a little better. This is like you don't care about you job and customers. You just do whatever you wanna do. this was really bad. First off, you are not laying down when you're doing it also you have to open your eyes. It was very weird. The glue was super thick and took a lot of my real lashes off. I was not gonna write any review at first since I know it was bad since the first day because I don't want to ruin anyone's business. But now I have to read more

I have been coming to get my hair done here since this salon opened. I love it. I get my hair done by Ben who is absolutely the best but everyone else who works here is also good. This isn't a very high end salon like in the city so the expectation shouldn't be of that either. Some of the negative reviews I don't really get. Out of all the local salons, this is my favorite and I have tried them all. They work very fast so even on a busy day if there's a lot of people, the wait isn't long. Everyone is also friendly. If its not very busy you might even end up getting a 15 minute wash/massage (at no extra charge) :) Anyway, if you haven't tried them yet, I recommend you do. You won't regret you did and I'm sure you'll be back. I bring friends and family here all the time and everyone has been just as happy. read more

I needed a haircut and decided to try this place. Wasn't too busy. Waited about 5 minutes in line. Reasonable price. Definitely will come back. read more

I have been coming here for a while and have had relatively positive experiences (aside for the inconsistent prices that they charge for the same exact service). Today I came and they told me I was next. They proceeded with letting someone cut in front of me and then another person. I understand it's a holiday but I would have appreciated honesty in terms of how many people are there. Everyone who came in was told "10-15min" but it was literally a 45-60 min wait at least. I was asked to pay for my hair wash, which was $10. I did, with no comment. They then chased me out asking for a $2 tip for the hair washer. I am all for tipping generously but I didn't think they would have the audacity to ask me for a tip after waiting so long and not getting what I came in here for. They should comp me for my time and stress there. read more

Horrible Horrible Horrible!!! They burn your hair, making you sit with applied color for more than 1 hour. They don't listen! I asked for deep brown, specifically NOT BLACK, I got terribly black black black color. And after that result, they tell you :"the color is good, right?" No, its not freaking good, its terrible!!! The hair cut is just as bad as coloring. They don't listen again! You are trying to explain them what you need, they say ok and then they just do whatever. Very bad! Don't go there! They destroyed my hair and now I have to spend hundreds on recovering treatment! read more

I used to go to a barber shop for my cuts, one day my wife took me here, I had a pleasant experience. The people were nice, there was no wait, and the barber did a good job. Since then I've come back here to get all my cuts. read more

This place is absolutely NOTHING special. I used to run here from time to time to wash and blow my hair when I couldn't get to my actual stylist until I had an allergic reaction to their shampoo. The wash and blow is 12 bucks, what do people expect? Fifth avenue Salon service? Get real! I'm very surprised people even take a chance to come here to get serious things done such as coloring and haircuts. You get what you pay for guys! Run in run out. Wash and blow was decent, nothing special, the guy burned my ear with the hot blow dryer and hot brush numerous times. The other 5 million Salons on the block do a better job. I had a very allergic reaction one time to their shampoo where it spread from my scalp to my face to the point where my face and eyes were swollen and I had to go to the ER so needless to say I'll never be going back there. read more

My hair smell like burned chicken I had to wash it out and use mask waste of my money read more

The hair salon is great. I'm there every other week sometimes and I'm always satisfied. The nail salon is another story. I'll only get a manicure there if I'm desperate because it's so convenient. It seems like every manicure I've had there has been the worst manicure of my life. Today I walked in to get a change of polish. A man, who I had never seen before, who likely had never seen a how-to video on anything cosmetics related, told me he would do my nails. I hesitated but regretfully sat down. He needed to ask the manucurist beside him before he ever made a move. All he did was wash my nail polish off. He got the polish all over my hands. Told me to wash my hands and was ready to charge me. That means he would paint my nails after. With no plans to clean the nail polish off my skin. I asked him to fix his mistake and he proceeded to remove more nail polish from my nails. But wouldn't even try to clean the polish from my hands. I told the manicurist next to him - because he wouldn't listen to me - that I couldn't have him do my nails because I anticipated they would end up worse than if I let a child do them. She charged me $2 and I left. I regret wasting my time there and even paying $2 for this man to smear nail polish all over my fingers. This nail salon always has poor service. ALWAYS disappoints. I have learned my lesson. I will not return. read more

After a disastrous haircut ( at a different salon) moving twice and having no where to get my hair cut, I stumbled onto this place. Actually my mom found it. She has very tight thick curls, and most places have NOOOOOOOO idea what to do with all that hair; this place cut and styled her hair beautifully! ( Her stylist is Fanny) Ps They know how to style curls, as in you don't need to blow it straight, they'll diffuse, scrunch etc as you like... My review is from a curly girls perspective, so here is it. My hair: Curly, not super tight but curly and hard to control. I hate having to go to places that cut it where it only looks good straight. The hairstylist: Celine. She's young, and understands what you want and works fast. I hate places that take hours to cut and blow dry hair. If you're into marathon hair cuts, this isn't the place, but if you like a good stylish cut done in a reasonable amount of time, come here. Oh BUT: The hair washing is awesome, that's the only part I like to take bit longer. I try to control myself from purring as they coax all the happy hormones during their hair wash brain massage ;). My friend who also is a curly girl, gets her hair cut, styled and dyed here, and she loves it. She even left her previous stylist for Celine. I know lots of people come in to the salon, see all the stylist are Asian, my girl is from Taiwan, turn around and leave. ( I know this for a fact because I hear some Russian women saying so as they leave) Don't be silly. Skip the snotty salons, and come here. You'll feel welcome and beautiful! Side note: They don't only style curly hair, lots of women come for keratin, straight styles and hair extension care. read more

Yeah it's $10 a haircut... but expect to get exactly that, a $10 haircut. Roughly shaven with no comfort and little regard about trimming up pieces that stick out or don't lay properly. You ask for a style and they'll cut and shave until it loosely resembles that and send you on your way. Even if you speak Cantonese, your chances of getting a good haircut are slim considering they don't care whether or not you're happy with your hair. read more

I used perm my hair in the other salon but I love to try something new. And I feel this salon is the biggest one at Ave U and always crowded, I didn't ask the price and just get in. However, it's a big mistake. I only can say this is my worst experience in a salon. First off, the stylist didn't really discuss with me how to do my hair, as he was eating his meal..ha.ha. And the woman who perms my hair was not professional at all. She spray the water to my face many times, I was want to say I come here is not for face wash. And she keep pull my hair and made my head dizzy and pain. I laugh when she was washing my hair, she thought she know how to massage the head, neck n shoulder. But she is not!!! I know it very well coz I learnt massage before. She just uses her nails to hurt my head and her wet hands made my neck n shoulder + my clothes wet and uncomfortable. She made me regret to get in this salon. And of course, the result of my perm hair is terrible. They made my hair super curly and very dry. But it doesn't matter, I can fix it by myself, I even can cut the hair by myself. So I didn't let the stylist to cut my hair, as I thought they all not professional. Finally, I found their prices are very cheap. I heard the guy said highlight only $30 and I perm (burnt) my hair only $60. Now I know that's the reason why they are NOT good but still has a lot of customer...lol. read more

It's been few weeks after my experience here and I can't stop thinking about what happen. I live in the neighborhood and I came here often, almost every week. One weekend, I came to get a wash and curls. I usually generously tip both washer and stylist but this time around I only had enough cash to tip one of them. For a 16$ bill I gave the washer 5$ tip before even having my hair done. I feel they do more with washing and massaging than the stylist just curling my hair. The lady who dresses like a guy came at me rudely as I finished paying the bill like" excuse me my tip" I politely said I'm sorry I have no more cash on me but I gave a good tip to the washer maybe split it. I was already at the door turned away as she yelled at me for a tip acting like I didn't pay for the services. You lost a customer over a few bucks $!! I should've had Ben done my hair like always! Now I have to find another place to go to like I would've came back another weekend to be nice and tip her as I would've brought more money but she was just rude for demanding it!! Its not a law. If you like the service you tip. read more

I have been coming to this salon about three times a month for the past few years. All the workers know who I am. I tip well. I've been mostly using Ben or sometimes the other guy (Jake I think). The past few times they told me Ben was too busy and pushed me off to the new guy right in the front. "He's great" they said. "He'll do a great job" they said. Wrong. I hated my hair both times. Plus the last time the lady who colored and washed my hair didn't do a great job washing. I kept telling her the water was too cold but she did nothing. And she didn't condition my hair so when he brushed it out it was hard. It seems that when you are a regular they feel they have you and don't give you the service you deserve. I am going to try one more time and if it happens again, I'm done. read more

This is like the Twin Peaks of Hair Salon. It's unkempt, lack of focus and children running around. I asked the guy (same one who "cut' my hair) for a shampoo and haircut. Shampoo was not a problem; I had worse and better. There was one kid who kept bumping into my chair as I was trying to enjoy myself. The shampoo lady focus more on my temples than my actual scalp, she also cleaned out my ears.... She told me to sit at a chair where there was still a pile of hair surrounding it on the floor and in the actual seat. The stylist next to it, pointed he blow dryer to blow away any hairs on the seat. Gross but whatever. Apparently someone wasn't done with their haircut so I was asked to move and sit somewhere else. At that moment my friend witness a stylist dropped scissors on the floor and not sanitized them, just kept hacking away on a woman who was texting. I get called back to the first seat by the guy who I originally told I wanted a haircut and shampoo to. He starts blow drying my hair, that should've been a red flag. He then goes to straightening it. He forgot about the haircut altogether. After the dirty scissors and hair everywhere (even by the shampoo area) I was probably better off with just a shampoo and blow dry. read more

This review is for HAIR SALON. I get my hair cut by Ben, and he is excellent! I tried many different salons, from $20 to $120 range, and I can honestly say I get better cut from Ben then high end salons in Manhattan. I also had my Japanese straightening done in that salon. To be honest, I was skeptical at first to do there , but it's been a month since I had it done, and I'm very happy with the results. The price was great, and the quality of work was very good, again, thanX to Ben! BTW, I came in as walk-in both times and was taken in right away. I agree with previous post from Yashka, Ben IS the best!!! read more

Very very bad customer service. I am a regular to this hair salon. I like the cut and wash. But today the hair washer - the lady- piss me off. I already reserve her to have my hair wash. I just hanged my jacket and got into the bathroom for less than 3 minutes. When I stepped out of the bathroom, she was preparing to do hair wash for another customer. She gave me the expression that she doesn't care. So what. I walked out of the salon and went to another one. The owner need to train the employees to respect the customers. I am not going there anymore. I gave the businesses one star for the customer service. read more

I hate writing yelp reviews & have some pretty strong feelings about people who write reviews with regard to service at restaurants but I had an unpleasant experience I will most likely be spending the rest of this year growing out. I asked in what I thought were clear and audible words for my eyebrows not to be shaped; I wanted a simple cleanup. I had thick eyebrows that I had spent the past three years growing and slowly sculpting. My cosmetician halved them in thickness and when I told her that they were far thinner than I had expressed my desire for before when we met, she told me that her alterations looked better and made some comments about my eyebrows having been misshaped before the waxing, which I did not appreciate. Gender & presentation are the hardest things; every seemingly small aesthetic decision I make, long-term and daily ones, from my lip-tint to my hair length is part of the larger painting I am constantly and slowly, considering and making that is my presentation to the world. Its our vehicle for nearly every aspect of our experiences. I understand that my cosmetician and I may have different aesthetic palettes for standards of beauty relating to our most likely very different lives and experiences, but I would have appreciated being kept a part of the process when she chose to drastically change the shape of my eyebrows, after I expressed my explicit desire for her not to do that. I've been handed a mirror several times during the threading / waxing process by cosmeticians at different salons; its not a difficult gesture, and had I been given the option to say no, or further express what I desired, this dangerously close salon might have gained a regular customer. read more
