I was really excited to go to this salon to get my hair dyed and was in the middle of a…read moreconsultation via text thinking I would be able to make an appointment here after they told me they needed a deposit from me and that they needed to order the hair colour. The problem was that I didn't see this text about the $100 deposit until 3 days later due to my notifications on my phone not going off. I thought when responding to the text that it was alright to continue chatting but that was not the case since I was ghosted/left on read/or blocked since I received zero answers to all my messages. Initially I asked them where to deposit the $100 and got no answer to that as well as everything else I asked. I wondered perhaps if it was vacation time or something but there was nothing at all. I waited a while to hear back. Please amend this, I really wanted to come here to get my hair done as it was my first choice salon to do my hair at but I have other options if the salon does not want my money. Call or text me back. I am the one who wanted to get my hair dyed a dark green.

OH MY GOD! This place by far was the best salon I have ever been to thanks to Jay the man himself…read more No I am not a close personal friend nor did anyone request this advertisement. I stumbled upon Jay's work just like any other yelp reviewer. Comparing him to others and doing my research like crazy. I have had virgin hair up until last year and like most, I get extremely scared and anxious when it comes to dying my hair. The first time I decided to change my hair color I had asked the hairstylist (another place) if I could get a full balayage. For some reason she only gave me a partial one which ended up in semi-disappointment. I didn't grow to love my hair or get compliments until 5-6 months later... Upon meeting Jay I had showed him three different pictures and told him anything in between is fine, just as long as the colors aren't too crazy and my hair remains long. He was very attentive to details and walked me through everything he did. Throughout the bleaching/hair dye process I did get a bit nervous, just bc the color got extremely platinum blonde and he started laughing. Probably bc he saw how anxious I was getting and the worry on my face. In the end I got a caramel to ashburn to blonde/silverish color and I am immensely satisfied with the result. I paid $160 for haircut and color (excluding tip) and compared to other salons that charge you $300+ that's a freaking steal! My only issue (if you even want to call it that) was that he took in 4-5 other clients while dealing with me so it pushed back my time a bit, but that's understandable since I was going to be there for awhile anyways. I would 100% recommend Jay to all my friends and future yelpers who are reading this right now. Trust the process!!

I had my hair done by Masaki and was extremely disappointed with both the result and the way my…read moreconcerns were handled afterward. 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.

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.

Edward has been my stylist for years and he's definitely one of the best stylists I've ever used…read more After tried approximately five stylists in NYC I found Edward in another salon and knew he's the one I want for my hair. I have many requirements for my hair usually as I have bangs and change styles constantly, but Edward can always meet them. He knows hair stylings very well, especially the Asian ones, and he goes constantly to Japan for advanced development. Highly recommend!

Edward is truly one of the best hair stylists in NYC. I have been going to him for over eight years…read morenow and I know he has many regular clients who have gone to him for longer. He was at a "director" level at a larger Japanese hair salon in NYC and it was difficult to get an appointment with him. I have straight black Asian hair by the way. What I love most about going to Edward is that I don't need to know anything about hair. I don't need to explain what I'm looking for. If I say I want a brighter color, I know that he won't give me a weird reddish hue in my black hair. He'll give me a warmer brown or golden color, which works much better for my skin tone. If I ask for a bang trim, he will keep my bangs long and use my hair from the crown of my head. Be prepared when you go to see Edward because once you start seeing him, you won't be able to go back to your former stylist.

Very Disappointed. My breakdown of the experience is below:…read moreThe good- lovely man The bad- very small, two chair space. Not particularly comfortable to wait for a color to settle in. My roots didn't get fully colored; i did address this prior to the start of my service.
