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.

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 booked a panic apt on a day I hated my hair. I was thoroughly surprised to be booked with Kinya! I walked into his salon with a head that looked like I was the homeless Kris Jenner. Kinya assessed my hair, listened to my desire - easy to style hair- and offered some excellent suggestions. I went off to the sink where a lovely, very tall man gave me a wonderful shampoo. After that it was back to Kinya. Kinya deftly tamed my hair, added texture to my thin, frizzy hair, and had me on my way in 30 mins. I left with hair that looked like young Mia Farrow. I felt amazing. Two days and two washes later, my hair looks the same. I barely have to style it. I've never had such a good experience. I'm going back to Kinya in 5 weeks. And 5 weeks after that for as long as he'll have me. read more

Do not get your hair blown out here!!! I liked my hair color but I made the mistake of asking for a blowdry.

I showed the stylist a reference photo and explained that I wanted a copper tone, not too dark, just something to even everything out. When she finished, my hair was nearly black. I was shocked. I immediately said this wasn't what I asked for, and instead of acknowledging the mistake or offering a helpful solution, the stylist insisted that I had asked her to match my roots. I hadn't. She got defensive, combative, and started yelling at me. The receptionist stepped in and was more empathetic. She agreed something had gone wrong and offered to send me to their uptown location to fix it. I asked very clearly if I would be charged, and she said no. I even asked again before leaving, and she repeated that I wouldn't be charged by either location. I paid out of pocket to Uber uptown. The stylist there, Gary, did fix the color, but made sure I knew how busy he was and treated me like I was lucky he was making time. He gave me a condescending lecture about showing reference photos, and when I told him I had, and that I had been very clear, he brushed it off. I've been getting my hair done for years. I understand the process. I know how to communicate what I want, and I always come prepared with photos. That wasn't the issue. At one point, when another client joked that her scalp was burning, I tried to lighten the mood by laughing. He turned to me and said, "You're laughing now, you're going to have it a lot worse." He was right. My scalp started burning so badly I cried. It was a long and emotionally draining process. The color looked better by the end, but I now have a scab on my scalp, most likely from the chemical treatment. And then, despite being told repeatedly that I wouldn't be charged, Gary tried to make me pay more than the original salon visit would have cost. When I told him that the receptionist at the first location had specifically told me it would be free of charge, he said, "She made a huge mistake if she told you that." He then went on to argue with me, saying even his family pays, and made me feel like I was being difficult for not wanting to pay after everything I had been put through. After going back and forth, he agreed to charge me $150, which I paid, even though it felt completely unfair. I called the receptionist at the first salon afterward to tell her I had been charged. She denied ever saying I wouldn't be, which felt like the final blow. After all of that, I felt completely gaslit and taken advantage of. I left with a damaged scalp, out time and money, and genuinely shaken. I've never written a review like this before, but I think people deserve to know what kind of experience I had. I would never go back.

My experience was absolutely heartbreaking. I have given this a lot of time (7/16) before posting,…read morebut in the end, I decided that I do not want this to happen to anybody else. This hair appointment was a special treat for my upcoming wedding. I always take great care with my hair--I cannot stand unhealthy, frizzy hair. For the past years, I have only air-dried my hair and never used products on it. I am blessed with straight hair that, when cut by a professional, falls just right and does not require additional attention. When I booked this appointment with Arsen, I was told that I would have an appointment with a Master cutter and colorist. Given Arsen's Instagram posts and him being the owner, I fully trusted this statement. After paying a deposit via Zelle to secure the appointment, I was looking forward to the experience. Jhese (Jessie) was this "master" hair cutter. When he got to me, he didn't even say hello or introduce himself; he just started with, "So what are you looking to get done?" I introduced myself and showed him photos of my hair done in the past, explaining that I wanted a similar result using the balayage method. Once Jhese (Jessie) started to work on my hair, I was surprised as he used a hairdryer to separate the strands before slathering on the bleach. He then proceeded to matte my hair with a comb. I asked him about this method, and he said some people separate with a comb but that he believed in working smarter, not harder. In hindsight, I really should have gotten up and left, but I trusted the process, and I had already paid a significant deposit. Things only got worse from there. An hour into this process, he had not yet reached the front of my head, and it dawned on me that the back of my hair had been festering in thick bleach for far longer than it should. Once he finished with the front, he put me under a heater. After that, he slathered on toner or color--I'm not sure which--between the foil layers and let that sit. I say "slather" because he used a huge wide brush, and the liquid was flying all over the place. After it was washed out, he attempted to brush my hair with a completely nasty (dirt-layered) and clearly unsanitary brush. My hair was so matted that he used a lot of force, and I almost had to beg him to be gentler to avoid further damage to my freshly abused, bleached hair. I pointed out a huge wad of hair sticking out of the brush, and Jhese very nonchalantly said that we have over 3 million hairs on our head and lose hair every day. By this time, I was beyond dejected. Next was my haircut. I offered to blow-dry it myself if he had a hairdryer with cold air, but he said it would take too long. So my "master" haircut was done with dripping wet hair, and it was so poorly done that I could have done it myself. After observing the abuse my hair had undergone, I asked him to add some sort of treatment to help fix my hair and reduce damage. I specifically asked for Kerastase and was willing to pay the extra $50. His assistant put a mix together, but it was another product. I pointed out that I wanted Kerastase, but he said the other was better and that was what I would get. I ended up leaving the salon with my wet hair (no need to make matters worse by blow-drying it) in tears. The result was yellow, dry, straw-like hair, damaged so badly that I dare not do anything else to it except cut off the worst damage. I messaged Arsen on my way home, and he assured me that Jhese could fix it. Not in a million years was I ever going to let him touch my hair again. How can you fix fried hair? My hair is fried, and it will take years to grow it out. After many distraught messages and receiving a few calls from Arsen while I was at work, the messages stopped when I expressed that I was not comfortable speaking on the phone and preferred responses in writing. Only when I posted on Yelp did Arsen message me and agree to a full refund by the end of the day. It was the absolute minimum in my book. As I now have to live with my hair and wait until it grows out. If I were financially better off, I would have sued, but I am not, so at the very least, I will post m review so this does not happen to another person. When I set out to get my hair done for my wedding, not in a million years, did I think I would end up with this result. In my opinion, Jhese should not be allowed to do hair. I requested information about where he got his "master" certification but none was provided. When you charge these fees, you expect a truly schooled and experienced hairdresser. Arsen might be such a person, but I can not say the same for Jhesie. I have attached images for reference; you can be the judge. If you love your hair, be warned and enter at your own risk.
