He specializes in Asian hairstyles and they always wash your hair with Milbon products which is so nice. He's pretty fast despite being meticulous.

I paid $480 for my appointment and left with hair that looked patchy and not like what we had discussed. While disappointing results can sometimes happen, what bothered me most was the complete lack of communication afterward. I reached out to Masaki on May 13 regarding my concerns and attempted to resolve the issue privately. I never received a response. It has now been about a month, and despite giving plenty of time for a reply, I have been ignored. I did not immediately leave reviews or make public comments because I wanted to give him the opportunity to address the situation directly. Unfortunately, that opportunity was never taken. For $480, I expected a higher standard of work and customer service. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend Masaki.

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.

And what a fortunate thing I was, because I have now found my new go to person for all hair related needs. I highly recommend Ai for your stylist. Her attention to detail is superb and it is apparent she is a perfectionist as she even requested to trim my eyebrows to balance the cut against face shape. Reference this review and request her honest consultation for your intended style before getting a cut; I can almost guarantee you will be amazed by the end result. However, what ultimately made me leave a review was what Ai did NOT do. It was the fact that she advised me NOT to get a perm that day. She recommended it would be better to grow out my hair longer for the intended style. What refreshing honesty that prioritizes the best for your client instead of upselling any unnecessary service. I walked into NewHair with a quarter life crisis and a bowl cut. I came out 1.5 hours later having realized my full potential as a Temu BTS member, with the best haircut I've had in New York City.

This really pissed me off because in the middle of my appointment, I even heard an assistant ask in Mandarin "is she getting a haircut?" and the stylist shook his head. I was really unhappy with my hair that I went to get a hair treatment (for the dry, damaged hair) and toner at a different salon a week later. That stylist even asked "who did your hair?"

What sets Charles apart is how much he genuinely cares about the health of your hair. It's so hard to find a stylist who prioritizes maintaining healthy hair over trying to sell you additional services. Before finding Charles, I saw several different hairstylists throughout the city, but none of them cared about the long-term health of my hair the way he does. I've been coloring my hair for years, so I definitely don't have the healthiest hair to begin with. Charles understands my hair, knows exactly how it processes, and never rushes the coloring process. He takes his time with every step to make sure my hair stays healthy while still achieving the results I want. Over the years, he's earned my complete trust. I always value his recommendations because he truly understands my hair and always has its best interest in mind. I'm so happy I found my go-to stylist in the city. I absolutely love my hair every single time I walk out of Unfade x Muze! If you're looking for someone who is incredibly talented, patient, and genuinely invested in the health of your hair, go see Charles!!! you won't regret it!

I have been going to Olivia for 2 years. She is the only person I've let dye my hair and I trusted her to go from long to short hair for the first time. She really knows how to make sure you get what you're looking for but also offers her professional suggestions to help you along with what will work and look the best. I always have a positive experience whether I'm looking for time to chat, relax, do work (I've for sure sat there on my computer lol). Olivia and Sage salon ACTUALLY care, something that can be hard to find in a huge city and I could not recommend her highly enough! read more

I followed my colorist Tara when she moved salons--and that says everything. The Salon has a great vibe! Tara is extremely talented and consistent which is key when you entrust someone with your hair. I got a single process with highlights and it looks amazing, natural and vibrant. What truly sets Tara apart is her meticulous attention to detail and a level of client care that feels rare these days. If you want someone who genuinely takes pride in their craft and delivers flawless results, Tara is it. read more

I've been trusting Olivia with my hair for a while now and I'm very happy with how she takes care of it and helps me find confidence again after having my hair got ruined by a bad coloring job at a different hair salon outside of NYC.

I've been seeing Olivia for a couple of years now and knew I had to follow her once she opened her own salon in Brooklyn (which is a very easy commute from the city). Not only does she always leave me feeling fresh and shiny after a cut or a color, but Olivia has a kindness that comes across in conversation and through her practice that makes it clear she is passionate about her work. She offers rates that are fair and a skill that I recommend. read more

Maybe I had too high expectations after reading soo many wonderful reviews of her and her salon. She seemed stuck up(I get it you work w/ models during fashion week woohoo) and the salon environment wasn't exactly relaxing (there was a lot of bickering going on). I don't think the cut is completely TERRIBLE (its pretty bad though...I look like a mushroom!) and especially after paying that much for a haricut I expected something better. I also didn't like the dry cut technique, where she washes your hair, straightens it and then cuts it. You leave the salon with super uber straight hair which on me looked too flat and like I hadn't washed my hair in a few days! So maybe its a preference thing...... Aside "Its all about me" Anecdote: I met up with a few of my friends after getting my haircut and 2 of them didn't realize I had gotten one. The third one remembered me mentioning my appointment and was like hey you were going to get a haircut, saw my hair, and commented "yea its difficult to find a good hair salon in the city" :-( (ususally I get tons of compliments on my hair pre and post haircut). Talk about crushing your self esteem eh! I will most definitely not be visiting again..can't wait for my hair to grow out and getting a proper cut somewhere else. Atleast I gave it a shot!
