    Haircut with natural hair (curls)
    Stefanie M.

    Sei did a fantastic job with my hair. I hadn't cut it for a while so after a bad haircut last year, I was excited to see how it could get fixed. He was a good listener and had good instincts for what to do with my hair type and how to shape it to frame my face. I'm so happy to have found him. My hair looked great straight and curly (my natural texture). The vibe of the salon is very unique and refreshing. The playlist was also enjoyable and relaxing. The whole experience was fantastic. Highly recommend!

    A beautiful haircut by Sei!

    I was very excited to try this hair salon as it seemed like such a hidden gem - at the time when I visited, there were only three reviews, all of which rated Noppera at 5 stars. The place is a one man show run by a man named Sei, and it is located in the basement of MEY, another hair salon. The two hair salons used to be one company, but they split in early 2020. Before MEY, Sei also worked at other places in NYC including Sassoon. Sei was courteous, pleasant to talk to, and knowledgeable. He had to spend the first five minutes while I was there to fix another client's bangs, and he was so apologetic about it, even though I did not mind at all. When he asked me what hairstyle I had in mind, I showed him the Pinterest inspiration board I had compiled ahead of time. He explained to me that the shorter above-the-shoulder cuts with my East Asian hair would be awkward and produce an outward flip to my right hand side at the ends, and if I did not want that look and was unwilling to style it every morning, then I should go for a slightly longer cut. I went with his advice and he gave me a beautiful cut that I walked out very happy with and am still happy with the day after! He spent over an hour on my hair. It is obvious that he is skilled and dedicated at his craft. He also graciously allowed me to use his fridge to store the birthday cake that I had picked up nearby before coming to the appointment. Sei specializes in cutting. He does not currently do any perming, coloring, or other services. As he explained to me, "My passion is creating shapes out of nothing." He used to work on photoshoots styling models' hair too, but he no longer does because he didn't get the satisfaction of cutting. His services and prices are listed on the Noppera website and he is by appointment only. P.S. The vintage-themed decor is beautiful! Love how he transformed this basement. P.P.S. For COVID Sei is meeting each client outside and taking their temperature before letting them inside.

    I'm so happy that I chose this salon! You feel a great atmosphere once you step into the salon, everything in the room is vintage and that makes this salon so special. Also I was very happy that he has a Queen's vinyl since I'm a huge fan of both Queen and vinyls. There are many vinyls and you can even request what you would like to listen while you get your hair done! Service I received was purely amazing, Sei gives you a perfect haircut that suits you the most. I highly recommend you to check his salon, I promise you won't regret going in and getting your hair done by him!

    I highly recommend this salon! Sei is an amazing hairdresser and he made sure I got the cut I wanted. I came in knowing I wanted a different look to my simple haircut with more layers and dimension. The atmosphere was very calming and the space had a vintage theme, the green barber chair was my favorite. It was an amazing experience and I came out feeling great and in LOVE with my haircut! Thank you Sei!

    Wonderful haircut by Sei

    Sweetest haircut I've ever received! Sei is very gentle, kind and makes you feel welcome every step of the way. He only takes one client at a time, so the atmosphere is very comforting. I'm very happy with the cut I've received, so definitely will be back :)

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.

This was their "best advice for me" and that I should come back and get both together. I only needed a haircut and this was the only chance I got (I am a SAHM with 2 kids and minimal backup except this day) so I said I would consider it but I need a cut now. It was 6 months since my last. That must have just not been the right thing to say bc I was judged, insulted during the entire session and I got the worst haircut of my life. I can't even get it fixed because it is so much shorter than I wanted. There are huge "texture" discrepancies all over my hair, the most obvious being in the back near my neck. There's also a strand of hair far longer than the entire length of my bob cut. I don't even understand how this happened. I'm so traumatized. I would never recommend this place and will never ever come back. I really had 1 chance to get a cut as a treat to myself, since I really don't have extra time to spare. And now I have to live with this until it grows out, definitely more than 6 more months. If I could give -1000 stars, I would. Please do yourself a favor and find a salon that can do a nice cut for long AND SHORT hair. WITHOUT A PERM TO MAKE IT ALL STRAIGHT FIRST. The skill level here is just so sub par. I could have done it myself.

I haven't cut my hair in 6 months and I have really long straight natural hair so you can say it is a blank canvas. This is probably one of the worst haircut I have gotten in years compared to other places that are in different price ranges. Leaving the salon it looked good styled but when I went home to wash it and had more time to look without it curled I saw really choppy layers and the length is much shorter than i wanted. For a cut I paid $107-110 not including tips and expected a decent cut for that amount. Truly disappointing as holidays are coming up and I have been wearing a hat to cover up, cannot wait for this to grow out but will take months. Ara was really sweet and nice but I don't think the skills were there.

I walked in at 330 and walked out a little past 4 with a fresh blow out. The woman who did my hair was pleasant. I didn't want anything involved, and my blowout was no frills. She gave me nice volume with the velcro rollers. For $55, it's definitely worth stopping here for a blowout.

I scheduled my appointment for 1/20 at noon and confirmed. I did not expect for an unseen circumstance where I needed to call that morning to ask if I'm able to have a grace period and come in slightly later to accommodate my appointment. The merchant refused to provide a different time and also didn't allow me to reschedule. This, marked my Groupon code as falsely "redeemed" although I did not get to enjoy the experience or attend and left me with no option of reschedule or refund. I contacted Groupon stating all of the above and the response from the business in their defense to NOT provide me with the refund I am entitled to was by lying. The merchant stated that I called 25 minutes before when I have receipts and proof that I called that morning at 9:50am to notify and attempt to recieve resolution and never ever anticipated such a conflict for an easy problem. All I need initially was to reschedule for a later time or date. My partner and I both work 9-5pm and this was the only day we had available and they couldn't make a small adjustment. I am now fighting for a refund of over $300 because the business lied.
