My regular salon was closed and I had a last minute business trip. Just wanted a root touch-up. Chose them because they use Goldwell color. I had the formula written down- and it was pretty basic. Well the woman screwed up my formula and my roots were so much darker! If I wasn't leaving the next day, would have of course gone back. Had to go to another salon when I did get back for a color correction- which is wildly expensive. If you can't follow a simple formula when I literally hand it to you on a piece of paper- not sure what else to say :( read more

Great hair cut by Liza!! Also does highlights and keratin will definitely be back! Great experience at the salon

I used to frequent some of the top high-end salons on the UES; that was until I discovered MK Salon.... This wonderful, unassuming salon, well-located near Bloomindale's, is my go-to for styling, blow dries and hair color. Marshall Kim, a master colorist, watches over all of his employees and makes sure everyone adheres to his high standards. Liza has long been my stylist and, she knows exactly how to smooth out my long, frizz-prone hair. She is talented and experienced, and pays attention to her clients. She is always up to date on all the newest products and techniques. Whenever I need a pick-me-up (sometimes several times a week), I head straight to Liza for a shampoo and blow dry! She never disappoints, and knows exactly what I want... Clients also swear by her Keratin treatments and eye for color and highlights. (And, the prices are extremely reasonable, particularly for the UES.) read more

Do not go to Liza. I was nervous walking in because I've had horrible experiences at salons in nyc but I thought I'd give this salon a shot for a single process dye. How hard could it be? You can't mess up a simple 1B -off black/brown color. I told Liza that I was getting married and needed my hair to match extensions I was getting done at another salon. She then proceeded to ask me if she could work at the other salon to do color.. weird comment to say? Then said that the owner charges cheap prices. Another weird comment by an employee? I explicitly told her I did NOT want BLACK hair. I wanted it to match my roots off black. Again telling her it NEEDS to match my extensions. I don't know if she was hard of hearing or she was just trying to give me what I didn't want. I would say "off black" and she would say "BLACK." It was as if she didn't understand me but there was no language barrier. She then doesn't ask me if I want permanent or semi permanent and just starts putting the permanent hair dye aggressively. I DID NOT WANT PERMANENT. I asked her AGAIN what color she was applying and she said 2B. I said NO 1B after half my head was filled with dye. She then asks me why I don't go lighter?! And if my fiancé likes blondes?! Her behavior was incredibly strange with no self awareness and just inappropriate! She then adds what I think is 1 - JET BLACK hair product to my hair and leaves it on for 40 minutes to get exactly the color I specifically said I did NOT want -- jet black. To top it off she doesn't blow dry my hair and changes the topic when I say this is BLACK not off black. Not to mention her colleague told me one price on the phone then she said another price $50 more. I'd rather pay more money and get the job done properly than go back here. The owner however, seemed very nice -- he should get rid of Liza since she's scooping out other salons anyway. Do yourself a favor, she's bad for your business. Whatever you do don't go to Liza unless you want to feel like you're talking to a wall. No acknowledge or apology for messing up my hair and now having permanent jet black hair that won't match my extensions, THANKS LIZA. read more

Mk is an exceptional gem of a salon in Midtown East. The Salon, presided over by Marshall Kim, its skilled and personable owner, has a pristinely clean, unpretentious appearance. Its exceptionally talented stylists are uniformly experienced in the art of hairdressing - able to execute the most "cutting edge" styles, along with timeless looks. I have used the same stylist, Liza, for over 15 years. She is fantastic colorist and cutter, but just as importantly, she is willing to share her ideas, which she communicates clearly and in a sweet way. Typically, after I've had my hair done at MK Salon, people literally stop me on the street to compliment my hair!! You owe yourself a visit to this should-be-legendary salon. read more

Love MK Salon. You must go see Liza... she's great with color/highlights. Everyone at the salon is super nice too! Easy to book appointment and they are super flexible to work with your schedule. read more

MK Salon - Keratin treatment ... highlights previously done with Liza. - Hair Salons Near Me - New York, New York

I do NOT enjoy getting my haircut. It ranks high up there with the dentist Today I Yelped haircuts near me because I didn't want to return to my last stylist. Because of the reviews I read about MK Salon I decided to walk over there and be a walk in before I freaked out and canceled any appt I would've made. Deciding to let faith take over. So glad I did. I was blessed to get a fantastic haircut by File! She cut 4 inches off and styled my hair exactly like the picture I showed her. She checked in with me several times to make sure I was happy with what was taking place willing to fix anything before I left. I didn't need it fixed she has made a fan out of me and I will return. Should I mention that in the heart of midtown Manhattan my shampoo and cut was $47.00??? Fantastic. Thank You File read more

They took me right away and they did a great job. Very happy with job and price! Very nice people.

It had 5 star reviews so I called and got a same day appointment. I was quoted $55 for cut and blow dry and it was on a price list when I walked in. File did my hair. I showed her a picture of what I wanted, but she asked me if I wanted an angle cut or layers in the back. I seem to have had some communication problems as I was not sure if she understood English very well. The picture had bangs and I had to ask for that after she told me she was finished. I also asked her to blend the bangs in and layer the side and she told me because I had a big head I should not get that done. It would make my head look bigger. She accommodated and trimmed a bit but it wasn't what I wanted. After I came home I also noticed that one side is slightly longer than the other. When I checked out she charged me $76. She said it was because my hair was long. I had about 1.5 inches cut from the bottom and my hair falls just below my shoulders, I think I was bamboozled a bit. I was going to bring my 2 daughters but their hair is alot longer than mine. I can't imagine what they would charge for them. I'm a nice person and I always tip service, I gave her $20 as tip which is my normal for a haircut. I wanted to add the owner MK contacted me and was apologetic. He refunded me the money and offered to fix my hair. I will try this salon again and see what the next experience will be like and will post a second review. read more

I am so grateful to have found MK Salon. The first time I went in, I wanted a Keratin treatment, Mel did a wonderful job, and the 2nd thing I needed was someone who could look at my hair and face and give me an honest opinion on what I needed to do. Mr Marshal did just that. I could NOT have been happier! I received so many compliments, and even more importantly, I was just thrilled when all was done. The service was wonderful, the prices are very reasonable, I won't go anywhere else. It is with great pleasure that I recommend MK Salon!! read more

I got the best hair cut and color at MK Salon! They are true experts and did better highlights than I ever could have imagined. I will go back forever and will recommend them to friends! read more

I found MK on yelp and the photos looked great. I thought the layers they did were gorg and i called to get a trim. I decided i would try them out for a keratin treatment. They did an amazing job. Not only were they all so sweet and make the environment relaxing they did an amazing job on my keratin and cut. Keep in mind - i have VERY difficult hair. The treatment made it effortless! Love Liza and the owner was such a sweet heart! read more

The short version: Their actual pricing didn't remotely match what was listed on their website. The details: I was in town for a black-tie wedding and wanted to get an updo. Based on their website, they had competitive pricing for salons in the area ($50 for an updo) AND good reviews, so I made an appointment. It took about 45 minutes; the hairdo itself was fine and held up all night, but when I went to pay, I was told it would be $130, despite not getting any add-ons (the stylist added product, curled my hair, used a bun shaper, a few plain plastic hair-ties, and plain bobby-pins, but that was it--no fancy bling or decorative pieces). In the end I paid $110 plus tax, but that was still more than double the price listed on their website (I checked a few weeks before when I made the appointment, again the day of, and tripled checked afterward). If they're going to charge $130, fine (it's Manhattan), but their quoted prices need to match what they actually charge. (As a side note, I said that I wanted a chignon and showed a few photos, but ended up with something not remotely resembling a chignon--it was a high bun. In the stylist's defense, though, I said I was not set on recreating exactly what was in the pictures, so I'm not significantly factoring this into my 2-star rating.) read more

Marshall was incredible, so kind and gave me an amazing cut and color AND life advice for only $120! I came in a chaotic moment and asked him to go platinum, he talked me out of it (BLESS HIM) and got to the root of what I wanted with my hair. Can't recommend him enough read more

I am so thankful for MK salon! Having great hair has always been important for me and I went to many salons which I was disappointed with. When I met Alex he quickly knew what color would work best with my complexion. I was amazed by his beautiful job while still keeping my hair healthy - I have received many compliments ever since! I also recommend Gale for suggesting the Keratin treatment - she is a pro! I highly recommend MK Salon. read more

I walked in for a shampoo & blowout. They worked me in quickly. The results were just what I wanted.

I have been a client at MK Salon for 18 years. Specifically, Liza has been coloring, cutting and styling my hair and doing an excellent job. She is talented, professional and always listens to what I ask her to do. I look forward to relaxing in the salon and coming out looking my best! Marshall, the owner, is very welcoming and professional too. I would not go anywhere else. read more

I came in on a red eye Friday AM from the West Coast and needed a blowout for a weekend wedding. When MK told me the price over the phone I wondered if they were going to charge separately for the shampoo, but nope, it was "all inclusive." They took me in immediately, made my hair squeaky clean, and gave me a smooth, lovely blowout, just as I requested. It is hands down the most reasonable/high quality thing I have done on here in NYC. Thank you, MK! read more

Such a relaxing experience. They were attentive and knew exactly what I wanted for my haircut

I have been going to MK Salon and seeing Liza for over 3 years now! She is amazing at coloring and cutting hair! She follows what I want and also gives helpful suggestions on styling tips. She truly does a wonderful job! The whole atmosphere of the salon is very relaxing, great place to get your hair done! read more

I am going back for a second haircut. Was very happy with my cut from MK. The salon is clean. I got a haircut shampoo and blow out.

Marshall and Mel are the best! had color, highlights and cut - all to professional perfection! recommend highly!! and so nice too!

I liked Mel and the rest of the staff a lot! Scheduled an appointment an hour before and it was quick and easy. Price isn't bad, but their prices online are not accurate. Add $10 at least to every price on their website. read more

I found MK at random on the Internet and took a chance on them. I am very happy with my haircut, for which I have received any number of compliments in the short time I have been sporting it. Thank you, MK. read more

Great haircut, same-day availability, and can't beat the price. File also did an incredible blowout, I'll definitely be back! It's a no frills salon but high quality. read more

Marshall at MK salon is the best at color and cuts. I had to stop going to him six months ago because I've been recovering from knee surgery and can't climb the steps yet. I have been paying twice as much for color and three times as much for cuts. The results have been almost as good for so much more money. I can't wait until I am able to go back. read more

Alex has been cutting and coloring my mother's hair for many years. He does an excellent job in every way. On top of that he is so kind. My mother is elderly now and needs special attention. Alex is very thoughtful (as is the rest of the staff). Folks of all ages get their hair done here. I would highly recommend MK Salon and a special shout out to Alex. read more

Hair stylist that did an amazing job at rescuing my hair is Kelly! Kelly, thank you for taking all of the disgusting damaged brittle straw like hair and somehow making me look amazing in a bob. I have had a bob done before and it's hard to not get the ugly bump at the center back of the head but you don't have to worry about any of that if your hair is in Kelly's hand. She really took her time with thinning out the back since I have thick Ecuadorian hair :) she's phenomenal. I sent my niece to her recently and my niece is super picky on how hair is cut and styled and she called me in love seconds after leaving Kelly. Not sure how many times I mentioned her name but go get your hair done by Kelly :) read more

I noticed the review and chose to go there because it was close to my college. I only had a haircut because I didn't have enough time, therefore no shampoo or wash. According to the website, the haircut costs only $35. However, they overcharged me, claiming it was $45 (I did not wash my hair), and I unknowingly provided additional tips totaling $60. It was my fault for not conducting a deeper inquiry because I was in a hurry, so make sure to ask ahead of time. Never going back there! I'm disappointed because the haircut went well and since the salon is so close, it was very convenient for me. They should have been specific about what they charge. read more

I read about this salon on Yelp and was passing by and decided to stop in. The place was very welcoming and I decided to give it a try. I had read about File and she was available. I have long hair and was way overdue for a trim but I was so afraid of someone taking too much off. File was wonderful. She listened to what I wanted and suggested how much she should cut and I totally trusted her. I didn't want a blowout because it was pouring outside, but she dried a few pieces to make sure it was ok. I will definitely be going back. And the price was more than reasonable. I highly recommend File and this salon. read more
