Updating my review: I used to come here because the haircuts were strong, but over time the…read moreexperience deteriorated significantly. 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 nearly fell asleep in the chair and woke up with the job done. It's very pricey but I was comfortable the whole time. So, great service but expect a sad wallet if it's not in your price range. That said, pretty standard pricing for the location. If you're going to bleach your hair, you'd probably get the most out of it by trying a funky cool color but I just like the natural look. There's a discount if you have student ID. Would recommend this place.

I went back recently to bleach my hair and I was so shocked by how good it came out - and in only 4-5 hours! He's definitely a professional and knows what he's doing especially when it comes to dying/bleach/toning and cutting short Asian hair to fit my face shape. I rarely need to tell him to fix or that I'm not satisfied with my hair; I trust his process and he's never failed me.

I walked out with a fresh, beautiful haircut that completely lifted my mood. Everyone at work complimented it, and my husband loves it too. Thank you for the kindness, patience, and amazing result.

Go to Mint Salon if you want to leave feeling disappointed and upset…read more I booked a full highlight and blowout for 10am. When I arrived Charlene (the owner) was seeing another client. I thought no big deal and waited on the couch. It wasn't until 10:30 when I sat down in the chair and she told me that I didn't have enough time booked to get my service that I booked done. I would only have time for a crown highlight (not even a partial) and a toner. I was expecting to receive the service that I booked. It is not my fault that the receptionist didn't book the right amount of time and that she was running late. Even with "not having enough time" the appointment lasted 3 hours and I left with the intention to have to go to another salon to get a full highlight done. My advice, save your time and money and go somewhere else.

Unlike most things in my life, I find it near impossible to plan ahead for a haircut. The mood struck recently as I was preparing for a work trip to New York. Upon seeing that Salon Kinya was barely two blocks from my hotel, I hoped things would fall into place and allow me to get a haircut after arriving from the airport. In the car from Newark I called and claimed a 16:15 appointment that afternoon with Kaz. Kaz understood what I wanted and gave it to me - more layers, more movement, all whilst preserving length. I left Salon Kinya feeling lighter (and very happy about my hair). Since arriving home to the Bay Area, I am happy to report that I'm liking the cut more by the day. I will happily return for a cut with Kaz!

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.
