Warm, reliable, and cozy. Sen is my go to salon and I have gotten cuts, keratin treatments, and head spa treatments with them. They are expert hair professionals with wonderful service. I am always happy with my haircuts and they are perfectionists! If you need a quick pick me up or self care moment, book a head spa with them. You will be so relaxed to the point of falling asleep while they give your scalp the TLC it deserves! read more

The staff And skills here are amazing. I recommend everyone to come here. Best short hair haircut in Brooklyn. read more

Chinami is a pro. I will never go to anyone else. Ever. Felt a little crazy yesterday and chopped my long hair short short short...and man, it's probably the best haircut ever! She's brilliant! She's mine, all mine! read more

What a find! Excellent service, friendly, and professional from start to finish. Chinami is an excellent hairstylist and a great listener- she expertly provided an outstanding haircut for very long and thick hair. Very detail-oriented and made sure to make me feel comfortable. Highly recommend without hesitation. read more

I had my wash and hair cut with Nikki (not sure if I'm spelling her name correctly) and it was a great experience. She was very receptive to my requests and answered my questions, as well as gave some recommendations based on my hair type, length, etc. I appreciated that a lot since I'm not someone who always know what will look great for my face shape and hair type. For reference, I have pretty thick, long, straight hair. She gave me long layers, thinned it out a little, trimmed off 2ish inches, and gave some face framing layers and curtain bangs. She took her time cutting to make sure everything was even and looked great. I was really satisfied with how it looked and will definitely be coming back for my next cut. Just a heads up, they take card but only cash for tip! read more

This is a gem of a salon, and a shining example of what A+ service and offerings look like. The stylists here clearly take pride in their craft, from both the treatment and customer service experience. As an environment, the vibe is clean, classy, and welcoming. The owner, Chinami, radiates warm energy, and the refined quality of space appears to be a reflection of her charisma. With her adroit talented hands, my stylist, Rumi, provided scalp massage that was so hypnotically therapeutic, it put me into the kind of waking dream trance reminiscent of a Murakami novel. She released a surprising amount of latent tension in my body, leaving me feeling light and lifted. Rumi also guided me in the right direction for my primary objective - to develop a regular self-care regimen for keeping my hair beautiful, hydrated and healthy. I now have a plan leveraging products and a periodic visit that I will be adhering to, and I look forward to watching the results unfold. Both the salon and the professionals there are a Vibe with a capital v, and I'm confident that you, too, will walk a way with glowing, lustrous hair, provided you are lucky enough to get an appointment. read more

Expert haircut in a relaxing environment. The staff is exceptionally kind and professional. Highly recommend. I've been going here for ~6 years for a mens haircut about once every six weeks. They are the best, hands down. read more

Showed up for my appointment and sat in the chair to see that the stylist was extremely sick visibly coughing over and over again with no mask on. I explained to the front desk that I do not feel comfortable getting my hair done today because someone was visibly sick, they were rude and acted like they weren't aware - while the lady was coughing away behind them. I am very sorry but if one of your employees is visibly sick you should take precautions to protect people. I do not feel comfortable getting pneumonia over a hair cut. And I think they should have been more accommodating about my discomfort. read more

Nikki (also not sure if I'm spelling her name correctly) was great. She quickly grasped the style I was going for, asked a few clarifying questions to help her gauge and confirm what I was okay with, and I got an excellent haircut. I came home and my wife was visibly happier with my haircut than when I came back from barbershops, which in this neighborhood, can charge almost as much as a salon haircut (my last place charged me $55 for a mediocre cut and nicked my neck with a razor, which I only noticed after I got home--after tipping $10 to boot). As a guy, if you're looking for a more sophisticated cut, I would highly recommend Sen as an upgrade alternative. It's definitely not just a salon for women. Also, I got excellent matcha green tea from Japan and very relaxing head and neck massages. I was very impressed and plan to return for my next haircut. read more

Lovely salon. I had a great haircut with Akiko two months ago and returned for a partial highlight and Toner. She did a beautiful job, I love the color. The experience is so relaxing and unpretentious. Highly recommend!! read more

Akiko is the best. She did my color with such patience and detail I got compliments from everyone. She even personally reimbursed me when I accidentally lost my earring during the service. She is a wonderful stylist and a wonderful person. The salon charges very reasonably. read more

I went with Akiko for a hair cut and scalp treatment. They were amazing. Super nice and comforting. Listened to everything I said and provided positive feedback and advise. I've found my new hair salon. read more

This place was awesome! It's very small so when I originally walked in on a Sunday, they weren't able to take me. I came back after making an appointment. The receptionist was so kind and friendly. Mai was my stylist, and she was fun and skillful. She made my hair look a million times better. I got a cut and blow dry. I absolutely love the bonus head massage while you get your hair washed. Will totally be coming back. Note that you get 10% off your first appointment at Sen. read more

Been going to Sen for 3 years now. Mai is a wonderful stylist and the salon is relaxing and clean.

Chinami is a superb stylist! I recently moved away from Brooklyn, and will miss her and this salon so much. She is great with color and cuts, and always such a pleasure to chat with. Thank you, Sen! I hope to pop back in when I'm in New York. read more

I don't give a negative review lightly.... But I do feel the need to give a description of my experience at Sen. I've been going to the same hair stylist for the past 4 years on the upper west side but was looking for somewhere new, closer to home. When I called to book an apt, it was a bit odd. They kept asking if I was ok with a male stylist... my current stylist is male but after being asked so many times, I started to wonder if there was something wrong with the stylist available... I ended up booking an apt for a haircut and partial highlight..I arrived at the salon, a short walk from my apt. It looks similar to the pictures. I waited a few minutes and then was met by my stylist. I started telling him about what I wanted to have done. We talked back and forth for a few minutes and then motioned back and forth about the cut. He wanted to do a round "bowl" type of cut but after a few minutes of back and forth and head shaking (from me) we were in agreement about the square cut (in back) and length... Then we started talking about highlights and that's when it became very clear how hard it is to have a hair stylist who doesn't speak much English. He brought over an assistant (I think) and another stylist and I tired to communicate what I wanted done... it was difficult... I tried to say that I would rather them error on the side of darker than too light and I was met with blank stares... after trying to explain again, I got a bit nervous and opted to forgo highlights and just have a haircut. I had just washed my hair so I didn't opt for them to wash my hair... 10 minutes later my haircut was done... it was ok, nothing great, but the stylist did take off the correct amount, which was good.. The charge for my 20 minute time at the salon (including talking about the cut / highlights) was $70 including my first customer discount... Honestly, the price point is way, way too high for the experience..my haircut was so quick, it seemed like a barber and I don't know how I would trust someone to color my hair if we couldn't communicate. This is a $20 haircut... definitely not the $70 price point. Spending $70 for a 10 minute haircut from some who doesn't speak English and you can't communicate your preferences is just not with it read more

The first time I came to Sen I had a great experience. But yesterday when I came in early for my toner appointment, my stylist (who I think is the owner), instead of using toner, colored my hair, which is a much more expensive service, and she did not verify with me that it was okay that this service would be different (more than double the price) than what I had made an appointment for. I assumed she was applying toner again but with a more targeted technique. After all, I made an appointment for a toner, and the last time I was in, she advised I maintain the color I wanted with a toner. But nope, it was a 70/80 dollar color job. Not what I had come in there for. If I had known I was not getting a toner, but instead a color, I wouldn't have asked for a trim-- a .5 to 1 inch trim along the bottom of my hair-- a trim that took 20 minutes to complete-- a trim that cost as much as a full hair cut. I walked out paying much, much much more than I anticipated. I felt guilty that I hadn't stopped them sooner, but I'm not an expert at coloring techniques! It felt like I was taken advantage of. They assumed I would be ok changing my appointment from toner to color (50 dollar diff in price). And I guess they felt comfortable charging a full haircut price for a 20 minute trim... They were very polite and kind and easy to talk with otherwise. And I'm sure most of their clientele drops tons of cash all the time. Still, I cannot understand how a trim costs 80 dollars (10% off b/c it was my first time) OR how its fair to change a client's color service without verifying the increased cost is okay. I was completely shocked to pay double what I anticipated. read more

Our daughter just became the 3rd in our family to get haircuts at Sen. All of us have gotten our cuts with Mai and have been very satisfied every time! The place is calm and relaxed. Mai asked to see a picture of what kind of cut I wanted for my daughter and she executed it perfectly. I highly recommend this place if you are looking for a meticulous and detailed cut - they deliver! read more

What an amazing experience at Sen hair salon! I have an insane amount of naturally wavy hair, and it took my lovely hairdresser Chinami almost an hour to get rid of the weight and add swag! Even offered sweets before I left! What a great job! They are super friendly and super patient! They really listened to what I wanted and delivered an outstanding result! Love love love this place! read more

Sen - Hair Salons Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I don't even know where to begin. I've been going to her over the past few years because Chinami is just wonderful. I have been stopped numerous times by strangers about who styles my hair. She listens and has a great aesthetic eye. I can bring in a picture to show her what I want and she is able to recreate it PERFECTLY every time. I recently stopped in to get my hair colored/balayaged for the first time in 13 years and I am so so happy with the results. She even checked in with me to make sure the color settled appropriately. BONUS: she had the most refreshing beverages and snacks for me to munch on! :D read more

I've been looking for a hair cutter for a while and I hoped Sen would be the place--it is most definitely not for me. The stylists are super nice and everything, but I went in for a regular cut/trim and the prices are just not worth it. The cut itself was mediocre too. Much of my hair was damaged from previous bleaching (at another salon) and I just wanted the damaged ends to be cut while also giving me some layers. I didn't want her to use a straight razor on my hair either. She cut about 2 inches (which she said she would and that was fine with me), but then she started using a razor! I didn't say anything because I was just surprised, but I knew right then I would not be back. The cut was in the $100 range---not worth it at all. Even the styling at the end was very flat and fell short. Maybe it's a decent place for kids since they seem to cater to and have a lot of children clientele, but as a woman in her 30s, this place was just disappointing. 2 stars though because the staff is truly polite. read more

This is the first hair salon I've been to since moving to Brooklyn--I have to say it's one less reason to go in Manhattan! Sen has a super zen and calm feeling. Everything was clean and the service/skills were impeccable. I left the chair feeling beautiful with much healthier looking hair. I'll definitely be returning for my next haircut! read more

After getting turned away at Fox and Jane, I walked by Sen on the way home. What a treat! Chinami helped me decide on a style, gave me a great shampoo and haircut, and offered some sweet treats on my way out the door. I couldn't have asked for a better haircut experience...so good that I created a Yelp account just to review her! DEFINITELY go to Chinami at Sen for your next haircut! read more

Actually I already went this place twice. Owner chinami gets your style right away and also she is aware current trend so that you not going into typical hipster style. I normally tell her minimal things I want (like shorter on side and keep long on top) then she tailor my hair style as bespoke manner with her aesthetic point of view. What I like the most is how my hair grow at a month later. Because of her precision scissor skills, your hair even blend well at the time. Must mention chinami's personality, so nice to chat with her or not chat with her. She respect your silence but not feeling uncomfortable. It's like you styling at your home. I love this place!!! read more

I've been a fan and loyal client of Chinami for over a decade now, and it's not because I'm blindly loyal. Simply put, I trust her to give me the best haircut and service I can find anywhere. It speaks volumes that I commute to Brooklyn just to see her after she moved from her previous salon in the East Village, which was easy walking distance from my apartment. The F train commute is well worth my while, and I couldn't be happier with how welcoming, clean, and calming her Atlantic Avenue space is. Not just Chinami, but her staff is tops, as well. Over the years, I've had dozens of styles that Chinami's either executed as I described or that I tried at her recommendation. She's openly creative with her styles, exacting in her cuts, and thoroughly uncompromising. I couldn't recommend anyone more. read more

This is first time for my to step out Manhattan for my haircut, Chinami is the only reason!! I've been her client, friends with her for near 20 years since college. She has a great taste and know the best way to styling me, and her magic haircut made my picky son LOVES her and only want to come here (we live in New Jersey). No matter the color that she picked for me, the haircut she did, or the straighten, she is THE BEST!! The new salon is cute and warm, it representing her personality and I am sure it will make everyone to feel very comfortable to be here. She offers the cutest sweet treat at the end, love it! If you are picky to find a good hair-stylist, look no further, this is the place! read more

I highly recommend Sen Salon where it's very clean and relaxing to stay in! Chinami is such an amazing hairdresser. She is professional, earnest, warm, and friendly. I am so satisfied with the final hair look! Thank you so much, Chinami: ) read more

Highly recommend. Chinami is a wonderful person and stylist. Was stressed when my long time pal and stylist moved, but have happily found a hair home at Sen! read more

Great service and cuts. Clean. Very friendly owner and staff. Been going here for years. Would highly recommend. read more

Great experience, great haircut and gorgeous color from Mai ! The best scalp massage as well. Really a nice, clean salon in a good neighborhood of Boerum Hill. Good music and an overall nice, personal, relaxing feel. read more

I haven't written a review in years, but my haircut experience today was so good that I had to give Sen their due credit. A lovely a little salon, cool and quiet. Everyone was friendly and my stylist Mai was warm, communicative, and talented. She asked good questions and didn't do anything until I felt comfortable, and she was patient when I asked for a few adjustments. I'm happy to have taken the chance on a new salon and have already booked my second appointment. Definitely recommend! read more

Mai did an excellent job with my hair! I was majorly in need of a trim/bang/layers cleanup and she more than delivered. She was consultative without being pushy (a difficult balance to strike!) and extremely friendly. She took the time to get it right, but I was still out of there with everything done and blown out in an hour. I also got out with all of that fixing for under $100 including a 20% tip. I will definitely be returning in the next couple of months when things get unruly again. read more

Just got an awesome haircut by Chinami. She listened and gave suggestions on what would look good. Took her time and was very attentive. She is a true professional. The salon is calming and felt very comfortable. Sipped chamomile tea while getting my hair cut. Was like a little vacation from work. Do yourself a favor and go see her now!!! read more

I had a wonderful experience! My hairdresser was sweet, attentive and professional- I will certainly be returning and highly recommend the salon. read more

My husband and I have both been working with Chinami as our stylist for about 15 years, so we're delighted to be going to her at her own salon now! We live in Williamsburg, so the trip is quite easy on the G train to the Hoyt Schermerhorn stop. The shop is just a couple blocks from the train, and I think a lot of other subway lines converge in downtown Brooklyn right around there. The salon is really comfortably laid out, and it feels very inviting. We both like the neighborhood, and even though the shop is on busy Atlantic Ave, once you step down into the space, it is very quiet and relaxing. Nice selection of music, and nicely furnished. Then there's Chinami herself--she's a gifted hair stylist. She's really good about communicating with us as clients to figure out what we're looking for, she has a great memory for what we did the last time if we're looking to repeat it, and she's also good at keeping us looking up to date. Not necessarily chasing the latest men's style trends, mind you, but fresh and put together. She's really good with suggestions, particularly at those times when we've been trying for a change and aren't really sure which way to go. She's also got that special "stylist sense" where she knows if you're feeling chatty that day or if you just need to chill with a magazine or even doze off (! I know, but there's something about having my head combed that makes me very drowsy. Maybe I'm part dog?). She's a pleasure to work with. We look forward to many more years with her in her new location! read more

Had a nice experience here. Felt like I was paid attention to which I don't always feel at my usual place. I had a junior stylist so the price was great! Will definitely return for my next haircut, which is usually when I am well overdue. read more

I am so happy this salon opened up in the neighborhood! They were able to accommodate a last minute appointment and Len gave me a fantastic haircut. She listened to what I wanted, offered her advice (which I gladly took) and I walked out with a great bob. She also understood that I was under a time constraint. I would highly recommend! I was so happy with my experience, I brought my daughter a few days later for her first haircut! Len was so sweet and made my daughter feel very comfortable. My daughter loved the experience and her hair looks great. I will definitely be going back! read more

Great haircut ! Extremely friendly and very professional . I went in for Japanese straightening and after evaluating my hair ,they actually talked me out of it and recommended I wait until my hair is healthier . I really appreciate the honesty!! read more
