    Before & After (quarter life crisis)
    Jennifer W.

    As I am experiencing my quarter life crisis, I decided to make a drastic change in my appearance by chopping off all my hair. Seeing as I have had long hair all my life, this was a big move for me. My first instinct was to choose Hair Collage. My boyfriend randomly found this salon on yelp and decided to give it a go awhile back. Upon entering, I remember spotting one of the stylists and being intrigued by her simple but edgy look. Luckily, my boyfriend was assigned the same stylist I spotted who is none other than Mrs. Un Cha Kang. I loved the way his hair looked and how effortless it was to style. It was easy to see she has a lot of experience and a great sense of current style and trends. He quickly became a regular at the salon. So today I gathered all my courage and went to Hair Collage and requested only Mrs. Un Cha Kang. I showed her an image of the hair I wanted and gave her the option to switch it up as she liked. She showed me different images of styles she wanted to incorporate into my hair and got right to work. No words can express how in love I am with my new hair cut. Even my friends, who were skeptical with this change, loved it. She took the time to teach me how to style it and hearing that I work in a hospital, showed me how to switch from a professional look to a going out look easily. Those who are concerned with a possible language barrier need not worry, they try their best to convey their thoughts to you to give you exactly the cut you need and want. UPDATE: A month and a half later I went back to Mrs. Un Cha Kang. We decided to go shorter! My original cut was great and kept its shape for approximately a full month. When I passed that mark, my hair started to go limp from the weight of the excess hair. My hair is naturally straight with little to no volume so when it started to grow, gravity dragged everything down. This time, to counteract gravity, Mrs. Un Cha Kang spent well over 2 hours working on my hair. The sides were cut super short while the top was being permed with big rods so it would have volume on its own. The front was thinned out and framed my face. Her patience with each section of my hair was mind blowing. Watching her shape and shift my hair every few minutes, stepping away and examining how it looks, then coming back and snipping some more. It took some time, but completely worth it. The end result... an amazingly happy customer.

    Hair cut with Kan and crew!

    I have always come to Hair Collage since I first came 2 years ago. The crew is absolutely outstanding and extremely professional. They know what I want and need even before I say anything. I have never has anything less than perfection from these ladies! Kan is my favorite over there! The massage was also outstanding! Thank you girls!!

    Keratin is the real deal. They opened the door to 10 degree temps to keep air flowin!

    Called the night before to set up a Saturday AM appointment. I came in early and they started right away (no waiting). Had full color, keratin and it totaled 475!!! However, I have very long hair. The stylist was excellent, skilled, charming and polite. He gave me a blanket when I complained of feeling cold and even brought in a space heater for my feet. It was a great experience and my hair is totally awesome now! Thank you Collage!

    I went back to Hair collage for hair coloring 3 weeks after initial visit. My original hair color was pretty dark and I was worried that coloring my hair soon after straightening process will damage my hair, but mrs. Kang made sure hat she uses best product for my hair. Mrs. Kang not only gave me full hair color, but also gave me very subtle ombre look to it. She took time & care to make sure that my hair color turns out perfect! Just what I wanted. I've been to so many high end hair salons, but no other places cared so much to satisfy its customer like hair collage. Love this place!

    I have been getting my hair perm from Ms. Kang for the past 8 years. My hair was the typical Asian hair that is straight and flat. And I wanted it to be as curly as possibe. It's usually a 3-hour process - wash, cut, curl, wait, rinse, wait some more, wash, and blow dry. But I am always happy with the result. My hair looks naturally curly/wavy. The product used doesn't feel like harsh chemical. It doesn't smell and it doesn't damage my hair. I don't have to do much at all to maintain - after wash, I just apply curling lotion/spray, and let it air dry. The curl lasts about 8 months, so I only come once or twice a year. A lot of people ask where I get my hair done, and I highly recommend this place. Best to come with a picture of what kind of style you'd like to get done.

    Ms. Kang can work miracles with your hair. I recently went to hair collage to get my hair fixed after a terrible experience i had at another salon. After the first hair salon, i was left with racoon stripes of varying shades of ash, gray, green and gold that left me looking older than my mom. I had asked for my hair dyed brown. I decided i couldnt take chances with getting it fixed by the same people again and came to hair collage which i had been to once before many years ago and remembered they had done a good job. Ms. Kang was able to fix the uneven highlights and tone them down from the various colors to a subtle dark brown. She also gave me some more highlights at the ends in a lighter shade so that my hair would be more on trend w the balayage style that is current. She knows her dyes and was careful to guide me to a decision that she knew would work for my situation and that id also be happy with. My hair is no longer damaged either. Ps. AMAZING hair wash. The scalp massage is fabulous. Photos of before and after attached. Thank you so much ms. Kang. I'll be back for my trim and more highlights in the summer!

    Loved my hair cut! Quick, efficient, just what I needed :)

    Went to Hair Collage on a rainy saturday afternoon after lunch and after a couple of minutes looking for the entrance on 5th ave, my friend and I found the entrance on 32nd street, not 5th ave. You walk in and there is an elevator and also staircase, but I recommend taking the elevator instead because the staircase is super narrow. The elevator brings you up to the front desk of the salon. Upon arrival, my friend and I were kindly greeted by a nice, young looking korean lady who then offered us complimentary a tea, coffee, or water. We both came in as walk in and were in desperate need of a hair cut. Despite being walk ins, the service was very quick and we both soon got called to get our hair done. The hair stylist we both got was Ms Choi. Woah, does she cut hair fast!!! I described what I wanted for my hair: long layers, 3 inches off, and just a trim of my bangs. She probably cut my hair in like 15 minutes, then styled for 10 minutes. Quickest hair cut I've ever had! Exactly what I asked for and what I needed. After the cut, my hair felt fresh, lighter, and most important healthier! No more dead hair, haha. I ended up paying $52.25. Thought it would be like $60 coz my hair was very long. For hair cut, blow dry, and style it was a good deal. I'll totally be back. :]

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.

And what a fortunate thing I was, because I have now found my new go to person for all hair related needs. I highly recommend Ai for your stylist. Her attention to detail is superb and it is apparent she is a perfectionist as she even requested to trim my eyebrows to balance the cut against face shape. Reference this review and request her honest consultation for your intended style before getting a cut; I can almost guarantee you will be amazed by the end result. However, what ultimately made me leave a review was what Ai did NOT do. It was the fact that she advised me NOT to get a perm that day. She recommended it would be better to grow out my hair longer for the intended style. What refreshing honesty that prioritizes the best for your client instead of upselling any unnecessary service.
