If you care about your hair - like really CARE about it and want it to look the best and be the healthiest (even if you bleach your hair and you feel like there's no hope and you've tried everything), then continue reading. It's long but worth the read! I had extremely dry hair when I first went to YH Salon and I was always told (no matter what salon I went to) that deep conditioning treatments were what I needed. But guess what? Those were only temporary fixes & my hair always went back to dry and brittle forcing me to try & but more products- always more expensive and not working! I came to this salon on a recommendation from a friend. My first time there I got the Essential Blowout performed by their Junior stylist, Moni. She did a beautiful job!! Best Blowout I ever got! It lasted a few days and my scalp didn't feel oily afterwards because (as she explained) they use their own Essential Rinse product in btwn wash & condition. She told me it was an all natural product that acts like a toner for my scalp. It removes the residue from the products, actually making the shampoo and conditioner work BETTER. (I like the sound of that) After that, I decided to try them for a haircut. After discussing with the front desk how I like to wear my hair, I was paired up with senior stylist, Cheryl. She did my cut in record time and it was perfect! She recommended a product that she liked (and it smelled amazing) but didn't force it on me, which is good bc I hate when they do that LOL and what happened when I left the salon shocked me so much that I am now a forever client. EVERY place I went since getting my haircut with Cheryl, ppl have complimented my hair!! That's NEVER happened. Even after I washed it and styled it on my own, people noticed and complimented. If you really want to save your hair or keep it shiny, beautiful and super healthy-- I suggest doing what they say! They carry great product lines that actually work like Rene Furterer (I've been using the Okara shampoo & Karite pre-wash oil), Rahua, and now just found out they will be the exclusive Tribeca retailer for Kevin Murphy! So to conclude, I just want to say Thank you to Younghee and her incredible staff for everything they've done for my hair and for making me feel confident and FEMININE again!! read more

Younghee Salon - Hair Salons Near Me - New york, New York

I went to Younghee Salon as a model for the Cezanne smoothing treatment -- the salon was offering this keratin treatment to models for $50 before making it available at full price to the regular customers. I didn't feel like a guinea pig in the least bit. Juan, the salon manager, was very quick in responding to my emails and offering his honest accessment of the product. Yumi, the stylist who did the treatment, was thorough, gentle, and gave me an incredible scalp massage. Yumi and Luz worked together to give me the perfect smooth blow-dry at the end. They even gave me generous travel-sized bottles of the special sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner to use to maintain the treatment, and let me grab a few samples of Younghee's special apple cider vinegar scalp rinse. Overall, I am very satisfied with the Cezanne smoothing treatment. It didn't modify my natural coarse and curly hair texture, but it did completely eliminate my hair's propensity to frizz upon exposure to any moisture. My hair feels very smooth and soft to the touch, and when I get a blow-out, it lasts practically forever, looking perfect for over a week. I received the treatment back in late October. It's January, and my hair is still looking perfect. read more

Reviews are true - Cheryl is amazing!!!! Just sit down, share any concerns and let her style/cut. She's super skilled and detailed. Within an hour, my thin-hair-with-too-many-layers was transformed into a sleek and very flattering cut. Unbelievable! I have no idea how she did it. Now, my hair is textured, fuller (without overdoing layers) and sophisticated sexy! In the morning, I shower, blow dry, light brush through, and out the door with it styled. Easy, low maintenance and LOVE it!!! I'm done with Groupon haircuts. Head to Tribeca! read more

I will start this review off by admitting that I was never one to care for my hair. All I cared about was the length of it and if I had the perfect bed hair so I could say #IWokeUpLikeThis. Over time I did notice that my hair was not as thick and strong as it was when I was younger but I just accepted this because I was getting older. Younghee saw my hair and knew immediately, from the way my hair flowed and felt, that she had the cure. She booked an appointment for me, with amazing stylist Chloe, on April 13th. On this day, I went in without much expectations because again, I was clueless about haircare. When I was in the chair, I was greeted by Chloe and Younghee's adorable puppy Hendricks! While she walked me through what was to come, I had a refreshing hibiscus ice tea. I chose to do the Essential Tousled Blowout which included the Essential Rinse and massage. When it came time for the rinse, I could hear my hair smoothly being brushed. It was such a crazy experience because my hair is ALWAYS tangled and to hear a clear crisp brush sound was insane to me haha. I bleach my hair a lot so it's very dry and damaged that I hated brushing my hair. Ever. After we were done, I could feel how soft and free my hair felt. I would turn my head back and forth just to listen to my hair go swish-swish. It took me back to when I was a child and I would hear all the adults being envious of my hair haha. Back then I didn't understand but now I totally do. I stayed there for longer taking endless selfies because I couldn't believe this was my hair. I needed to document this day haha. I decided that day to write my first review on Yelp because I wanted everyone to know about Younghee Salon. I wanted to write a review sooner but I wanted to continue to use the rinse for a month and really give an honest review. People to this day notice that my hair looks healthier and asked me what product I was using. And I would tell them that it's Younghee's hair toner! Who knew we all needed this in our lives! Younghee is doing something amazing here and everyone should check it out for themselves. Thank you Younghee and Chloe!! You guys are taking amazing strides in the world of haircare! #LongHairIDoCare! read more

Younghee is the OG and the best. I trusted only Younghee with my hair for 15 years until I moved away and I miss her terribly! She is talented, kind and truly cares about her clients. Try her "Essential Rinse" - it clears away buildup, feels refreshing, smells amazing and leaves your hair shiny and healthy! http://www.essentialrinse.com/ read more

What a delight!! I was able to get in last minute for an essential blow dry w Moni, who is lovely. AND I was greeted by a very small very handsome dog named Hendricks. Wins all around. My hair looks and feels great! read more

Living in nyc for over 5 years; I've never went back to the same stylist. I always found something I didn't like about my hair as it grew out. When I got referred to Jacob from friend of mine, i didn't expect much from him but after a brief consultation and how my hair turned out in the end, i was really satisfied. He is a professional and friendly yet calm and made a pleasant visit. Moreover as my hair grew out, I'm really seeing his amazing cutting skills and cant wait to go back to get it trimmed! read more

It was my first time getting the Essential Blowout in the salon and I couldn't be happier! They started with a sit in shampoo and a scalp massage which was so relaxing. Afterwards I was taken to the sink to wash off the shampoo. They applied a product called Essential Rinse which was created by the owner of the salon. The stylist Luz told me it was to help remove any residue and acted like a toner for your hair! After the blow dry I was amazed at how soft and shiny my hair looked. I recommend this salon to anyone who is looking for top quality service! read more

I went to have my frizzy hair treated. Yumi and another stylist did the treatments. It looked good when I left the salon even though she burned me twice with the flatiron . When I arrived at home I noticed the hair around my face was extremely broken , frizzy and I had sideburns from the hair that broke over my ears. Also when I washed my hair it was frizzy and I had many split ends and my hair was breaking off. When I sent them pictures and a note they said they would discuss it and thank you for my feedback . Really? They never got back to me . Don't Go There ! For frizz relief . They ruined my Hair !!! read more

The best! I travel to NYC from California to have her cut my hair. Her haircuts get longer but they never "grow out" and lose their shape. My fine, straight hair is now short (for the first time successfully). Her "texturizing" is magic as is her layering. Ni blowdrying, no nothing! Just run a brush through it and fluff it with my hands!! Pricy? Yes. But worth every penny. I'd cut out Starbucks and Whole Foods before I'd give to Younghee!! read more

I was extremely pleased with the service I received here yesterday. My colorist was KevEon. He is extremely talented, patient, and polite. He was able to accommodate me with a 10am appointment for a balayage. This is the first time I decided to change up the style to balayage - instead of highlights. I was not disappointed. I was a bit nervous but he talked me through every step of the project and assured me not to be worried. I was extremely pleased with the outcome - see the before and after photo! If you want a positive turnout on highlights or balayage - don't think twice about calling Younghee Salon and requesting KevEon. Highly recommend it. The receptionist was also very welcoming and offered me something to drink. He was responsive to questions via email. Overall, I was pleased with the service received here!! read more

Unfortunately cannot comment on the actual styling, but felt seriously disrespected by management. Was going to be a model for a blow out and apt was booked same day. They asked me to come in an hour later so I killed time in the neighborhood which is far from my home. I got there, sat down in a chair and three minutes later was asked to leave by a curly haired manager. All I did...? I mentioned I had an interview and asked if the blowout would last until tomorrow. Her attitude changed immediately after, saying that was she didn't think I would be a good match for a salon. I have no clue what I said or did to be rushed out with an "eff you" smile by that lady. Maybe her apprentice was so new she was worried I wouldn't like the blow out but seriously it's a blow out...it can be washed. I understand this was a free of charge apt but I felt like crying as I was being told to leave. I've never been asked to leave anywhere before. These people ate up hours of my day. Fun side note, she did offer a full price blowout as she was smiling and telling me to leave ..... Pretty looking salon, nasty attitude. Edit: I now see other reviews about the owners attitude making for a tense environment. This must be who I experienced. Wish I had read reviews and stayed away. Waste of time. read more

My hair is not lovely. It's limp, lacks luster, it falls out everywhere, and it's graying way too early for this to be acceptable hair graying behavior. There have been many days where I have I woken up and thought to myself that if I had better hair, life would be easier. Then Ashton cheated on Demi and I realized that if anyone could cheat on that hot head of hair then I should shut my face. My expectations of my hair are, fair enough, at zero. At this point I just want it to stay on top of my head. This in and of itself has been an issue lately. So when I walked into Younghee recently and plopped down in Cheryl's chair I really was not anticipating any awesomeness to occur. I have been to the most expensive places and seen the most expensive people and I have gone to Super Cuts. I tell them to do what will make me look best but I always look the same. I sit in the chair with a shaggy graduated medium length cut, I get out of the chair with a shaggy graduated medium length cut. The fact that I even know what the hell a graduated cut is should speak volumes. It's like Groundhog Day the movie except it costs as much as Titanic. But Cheryl changed all of that recently. She's down to earth, which I love, and not too talkative, something else i love, and most importantly, she gave me a new cut that I hadn't tried before. A blunt yet layered shoulder length that made my limp lusterless hair actually have bounce. As my hair is naturally wavy, it was even cuter when I woke up the next morning. Even better, every time I wash it and blow dry it.... it still looks great. As every girl will tell you, this is a huge f'ing deal. Despite the Tribeca location, it's not at all pretentious. The same lady that is washing your hair will also most likely be the one cutting it. It's not large either, and as my roommate discovered before me, they remember their repeat customers and treat them well. Definitely going back. Definitely love Cheryl. She doesn't do coloring but that's okay, I prefer that she specializes instead of offering complimentary services that might not end up as well as her haircuts do. read more

I've been seeing Younghee for 5 years now and I refuse to get my haircut by anyone else. My haircut looks great from the first day I get it to the next time I see her. Before I started seeing Younghee, I always got much cheaper haircuts and I was never happy with them because my hair would grow out and imperfections would show up (this is what happens with straight Asian hair). With Younghee, it's not just a haircut where you get a haircut and move on with your life, she's a perfectionist; she takes notes and aims to always improve upon what was previously done. I can't stress enough how great she is as a hairdresser and a person and I wouldn't trust anyone else. read more

I love YoungHee!! I'm very picky with my hair and was never satisfied with a cut until I met YoungHee. I've been going to her for more than 4 years now and I never tell her what I want. She always tells me what style would best suit my face structure and I completely trust her. I still remember the first time I met her, she looked me up and down and asked me what my job was. It was her way of analyzing a style that best suited my personality and hair type. I always leave the salon amazed at my haircut. Once it starts to grow out it gets better and I have no idea what she does but my hair looks fabulous without me having to dry it out or even brush it. She's honest, charismatic, professional, talented, creative, and stylish. read more

I have been coming from Across the country....not even the US....Canada that is...to get my hair cut by the most amazing Younghee! Does this sound convenient or cheap?...it's not either but the thing is...that when my hair looks great then everything else I am wearing is great! I have turned on other friends to Younghee and we complain about the same things...cost and time...but I have been coming for over 9 years! Have I tried others closer to home and even in LA...sure have...and no they can not cut it! Younghee has what a stylist can not be taught...an eye for finding the right look, cut and style unique to you and unique to your hair. I have the ability to go any where and I have been coming back to Younghee for all this time...you are luck you have access to her in your back yard...go get your hair cut here! ....almost forgot the best colourist ever is Mia and she is a find! read more

I showed up with very damaged hair condition, but Jacob created a great look based on my hair condition. I was so refreshed and satisfied. He always cares about the health of my hair along the style what I want. He uses high quality hair products and also gives me right suggestion what is good for my hair. Jacob has always done amazing job very professionally and friendly, I highly recommend him! read more

Love. Ya know that off-duty model vibe that every NY gal covets? Younghee invented it. Ok, so I exaggerate... but the cuts are no joke. Somehow my hair looks as amazing three weeks later as the day I leave the salon. There's so much shape & movement that it's starting to border on a shampoo commercial... ridiculous. Huich snips absolute versatility, understanding that some days I need casual chic... and others total glam. Combine that with a relaxing environment / great conversation, and you have gold. read more

Younghee just knows how personal hair is to each person. I almost never blow dry or really style my own hair and Younghee's cuts not only look great just air-dried but her cuts grow out beautifully. After 15+ years with her, of course I was going to ask her to do my hair for my wedding. Not only did my hair look AMAZING but she even arranged for a makeup artist. I left feeling like every bride should on their wedding day. Thank you!! read more

Younghee Salon is a fantastic salon, with a highly professional and friendly staff. Younghee herself is an amazing hair stylist with years of experience, a great eye and a winning personality. For color, Sobeida, is my choice. She did a fantastic job assessing the condition of my hair and really listened to what my color concerns were. Just great. The salon is so good I travel once a month from Connecticut to have my hair done! read more

I have gone form dark to full blonde, and back to dark within past 5 years, and would not be able to get out "alive" if it wasn't for Tania Nieto. She has been the best hair stylist I have ever dealt with. Always thorough, focused, very knowledgeable & experienced, really goes out of her way to make me happy with the result, leaving my hair healthy and beautiful. I have a very sensitive scalp, and after an hour of sitting in a hair salon's chair I am ready to just get up and escape to Africa, this uncomfortable & painful it gets for me. With Tania it is always bearable, she is very gentle, and sometimes even takes her gloves off to reduce hair pulling, even if it is bleach she is working with at the moment (I have never asked her to do that, but she does it anyway to make me feel more comfortable). Number one colorist and hair stylist for me! read more

Working in the beauty industry, looks are very important. How I represent myself is how I represent the company. I have been living in NY for 5 years now and have been going to Younghee for 4 years. Before I found Younghee I went to a dozen stylists. It was a perfect match when I had my first hair consultation with Younghee. She had me when she said, "This is our first date. We'll see how it goes and if there will be a second." Well there have been many dates after that. Younghee is exceptional at what she does. She is very thorough and her ensures that her staff and salon is as well. I get my haircut from Younghee, my color done by Mia, and I recently got a perm from Yumi. I received so many compliments on my perm. My hair is super straight. I never blow dry or even brush my hair and it never has a tangle or frizz in it. After the perm, I had volume, movement, and it looked like I got a blow out everyday! Perfect beach hair any day without having to style it one bit. Everyone who has asked about my hair was shocked when I told them it was a perm. I booked another appointment for a cut and color. I want to get another perm since my hair has grown out but I think it would be best to see what Younghee recommends. Younghee salon is amazing. They are professional and educational. They are the best at what they do and will not produce anything less than quality. read more

I've been dealing with breakage and thin ends on my bleached platinum hair for the past several years, and finally decided to turn to a professional. I could not have found a better one! As others have said here, Younghee really takes time to understand not just your hair but your life - and it's fascinating to see her at work. It's clear that she really cares deeply about her clients and that she was made for this profession. She respected my wishes (my goal is length) but was also honest and direct about what's possible now, and the action we need to take to get my hair exactly where I want it. Younghee gave me a great cut, and as promised, I barely noticed any of the lost length. She gave me the rundown on our plan to get to my goal, and I left feeling excited and hopeful about my hair - both present and future - which I hadn't felt in a long time. I can't wait to see Younghee again! read more

Jacob is the best hair stylist I've had in NYC. He's very keen on trends, and every appointment with him gives me great satisfaction. I always feel like I'm getting a personal touch from him. read more

I've been going to this salon for almost 10 years, so this review is long overdue, but I definitely write this with thorough knowledge of the salon. The quality has gone down significantly. I have gone for both cut and color. I will start with a positive - the salon is focused on health of hair. While Younghee is talented and doesn't rush through appointments, she totally overcharges (I have seen someone else who does celebrities' haircuts who charges way less than Younghee). Aside from Younghee's exceptionally high prices for cuts and their coloring prices as well, Younghee is not a good listener, is very defensive, and personality wise, is incredibly difficult. I used to get nervous before appointments with her because she is so tough. She makes the salon have a very tense environment. Prices for cut and color are increased a good bit almost annually. I also have gone to the salon for color, and Mia is very talented. However, the color the salon uses if VERY cheap in quality (because they don't want to spend more to buy good color and have it cut into their profit margin). It's one of my biggest complaints of the salon. The colors aren't good and they have limited good blonde options, and colors wash out before 7-8 weeks. While when coloring hair, it's difficult to keep the colors as bright the whole time, the quality of the coloring products they use at the salon are so poor that the color really washes out. I've tried many salons for color, and the quality is noticeably bad. They use Wella color, which is one of the cheapest brands out there I hear. Last, they underpay the people at the front desk, and Younghee is such a tough person to work for, that I hardly ever see the same person working there for more than 2 visits in a row. The front desk frequently gets bookings wrong. Quality matters. With some small changes - like spending more on color products, paying the front desk more so they can retain some quality employees (and treating them properly), and maintaining a professional/friendly environment, would improve the salon a great deal. read more

Amazed.. When I saw how perfect my bob was I seriously nearly cried tears of JOY! Michelle cut me a bob, as her model, under the guidance of Cheryl.. and it was just such a fabulous experience. My hair shimmered and felt like silk... the bangs, perfect. The back, incredible! I cannot wait to return.. read more

I had high expectations of this place since I read some great reviews but I wasn't happy with the way that Cheryl cut my hair. I can see how someone with curly hair would love getting their hair cut here b/c they do a great job with straightening your hair but my experience was disappointing. The shampoo was great, but the technique that Cheryl used was bizarre. She first blows your hair dry and then uses a flatiron to make it straight. Then she does the haircut. While she is precise, I was really unhappy with the way my hair came out. It looked really flat. I asked her to blow out my hair like normal but she said that wasn't part of her technique. At $135 a hair cut, you'd think she could accommodate her clients. Needless to say, I came home and washed it out right away. read more

I am a rather infrequent regular at Younghee Salon with Younghee herself. I have to say that there the hair cut you get is not just about styling, it's your attitude towards life. The first time I met Younghee, she took time to study what my occupation was, what my fashion style was like and what I was comfortable with. Then she came up with something very settle and stylish, and I think I have found myself a to-go hair salon in NYC finally. read more

Younghee is one of the best in NYC. She has cut my hair for nearly 10 years. Her cuts are stylish and low maintenance. She cuts my hair with longevity in mind which means that I only go in twice a year because the cut is designed to grow out well. The salon is conveniently located and generally low key and quiet (compared to other salons). Younghee always takes her time and I thoroughly enjoy our bi-annual chats. The salon is not cheap but neither is the service. If price is your main concern, this isn't the salon for you. If you are looking for a professional and flattering cut, look no further. As long as Younghee cuts hair, I'll be happy to sit in her chair. read more

I wanted to love this place, I wanted it to be my new salon but I actually got one of the most ill-suited cuts of my adult life here. I didn't expect life-changing cut but just solid, "good" cut for the $145 plus 20% tip, double what I typically spend on a cut in NYC. I have fine, med-long length layered, easy wash & go straight hair. I told the stylist, Huich, that she could do whatever she wanted and explained that I almost never ever blowdry my hair. She opted to just bring up the length a bit with a good trim, give some extra layering for shape & body etc., nothing crazy. Okay, fine with me, I would have done a pixie cut if this salon said it was the way to go. She spent a very long time on it, dry cutting, and I received a nice blowout as well. Day of, it looks like a short version of the Farah Fawcett cut, pretty. Next day, ever day after, all the ends of my hair flip out terribly and appear to have been razored or thinned out somehow, I now have fly-away, jagged, strange wispy ends and layers all around my head, even toward the back. I thought maybe I just didn't "get it" or needed to dry or style it (exactly what I explained I don't do) but believe me, it is the cut. I called a few days later to find out if I was doing something wrong with it and the salon offered to fix the cut for free but I declined because a) I have never had bad cut fixed and felt funny about doing that when this place is supposed to be phenomenal b) the layers are short and wispy and strange that I think I need to wait until it grows out and then go somewhere else and ask they make the layers blunter (not a blunt cut, but blunter layers so there is some weight back in my hair). To be fair: 1 star awarded for the lovely decor, 1 start for personable manner of all staff, adorable dog and the long time spent on cut, 1 star awarded for the offer to look at it again but my oh my, without these things I would say overall this was a 1 star cut at a 5 star price, no thanks, never again! Again, I truly wanted to love it and be a devoted customer but I now hate my otherwise easy hair. read more

Jun gave me beautiful layers. The cut is literally NO maintenince (no blow drying necessary), and is one of the best cuts I've had. This is my new spot! read more

I wish I could give more than 5 stars! Younghee saved my hair! I can't say enough about this Salon - Younghee is a true artist. She's a hair sculptor and so precise and always keeps my cut looking fresh and modern. But even more important, my hair and scalp were so unhealthy - gross! (this thanks to stress, and an ill advised trial of rogaine), and through treatments and different products over time it's totally changed. It's really miraculous and I'm so grateful to her! Thanks Younghee - You're always right! read more
