    The ladies in my family have come to love this place for their cuts. Their gentleness during the entire process says a lot. They do not move in a rushed manner and they trim as if every clip is importan. It is like watching an artist paint. The environment inside is neutral and clean. There is music playing at a comfortable volume and I sit here typing this review relaxed and patient, simply admiring their masterpieces.

    I am going to be a new regular here. Light airy atmosphere. Very clean with solid covid regulations. Love my new hair color

    Been cutting our hair here for a year now... Always happy to come back!!

    This place is AMAZING. Everytime I come here I feel like I entered a second home. Such warm and attention to detail from all employees will be sure to make you feel comfortable. I always go to Yuya-san who takes care of all my hair necessities. He is attentive and wants to know what you enjoy/change/dislike about your hair and he will take charge in doing what you want! I always ask him for his personal recommendation and it never goes wrong. He has gotten to know my hair and my personal style, I don't even bring him a picture anymore. I always get what I want and I am sure you will get an amazing experience here with any of these amazing stylists!

    Disclaimer, my friend is married to the owner/founder of SHAIR NYC (Shinji). I didn't have my hair cut by Shinji, I had Nana do my hair. She took her time figuring out my style, what I was trying to have done. During the entire process, washing, cutting, rinsing, she was patient and focused on the task at hand. The salon space is beautiful and airy, very relaxing even when I was sitting there for my scheduled appointment. Definitely recommend calling ahead for an appointment, clients kept on coming in the whole time I was there. SHAIR NYC is a terrific option for guys and girls haircuts! Credit card accepted.

    Lovely cut & curl

    Finally found my salon! I've never had a consistent stylist but Shinji & Shair is definitely the it. It's a small spot tucked away in the West Village but inside doesn't feel cramped at all - the white interior is beautiful and decoration is tasteful. It really feels like a Japanese salon the way they're so attentive and put the customer first 100%. I have very flat straight hair that had been growing out for 5 months now, and Shinji not only cut it beautifully so it became lighter and more shapely, but even curled my hair for my night out! Highly recommend and can't wait to go back!!

    So cute!

    What a great new salon! Nana colored my hair and she did an amazing job! I am currently trying out a new look and she was so patient listening to how I wanted my hair to look. The result? AMAZING!! She did such a wonderful job and the color was perfect :) SHAIR has the most comfortable shampoo chairs that I ever sat in so don't be surprised if you manage to squeeze a nap. The service is excellent and everyone is so friendly. I highly recommend this salon to everyone!!

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.

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.
