Flying into NY for my best friend's wedding as a groomsmen and got recommended to visit Alex for a haircut. I was planning to get a cut with down perm only but Alex explained in very detail about his suggestion to get a full perm while he wasn't pushy at all, left the decision completely to me. Decided to give it a try and it's actually quite different from the perm I usually get. I won't pretend I remember all the technical terms and explanations from Alex but it was a two step perm using two types of irons, and the result is very satisfying. He also gave me tips how to style it with easy steps. Throughout the session Alex was friendly and we had nice conversations, I would definitely book an appointment with Alex when I'm in town again in the future. Highly recommended! read more

I've had long hair for over a decade, so getting a huge knot out of nowhere was stressful. My regular stylist was fully booked, so I came back to this salon after more than 15 years. I didn't catch the stylist's name, but she truly saved the day. She and another stylist tried everything to detangle, and when it became too painful, I told them to just go ahead for a shorter cut. I walked out with a fresh, beautiful haircut that completely lifted my mood. Everyone at work complimented it, and my husband loves it too. Thank you for the kindness, patience, and amazing result. read more

This place is a scam. Online says long haircut starts at $90. No one spoke to me about cost and when I went to check out I was charged $150 (way more than what color starts for!) I told the person at the check out that it said $90 online and he told me that "we don't use the website anymore" I then asked to see where prices are posted and he told me "instagram" Instagram has the link to their website that's says $90. Beware. read more

Love it owner was amazing and very professional and passionate about hair styling. Will definitely be coming back!

I finally found my NYC salon. I travel to NYC with some frequency and always stay in Nomad. I don't travel with haircare products or tools. Because I'm not a basic b*tch. That's what salons are for. Andrew Oh, the salon director, and his assistant styled my hair. It was extremely efficient having two people style my hair at the same time. And for only $50? In Manhattan? Get outta town! Two days ago, I paid $80 for a very basic wash/style at a salon down the street. They were very friendly. The salon is very well kept and modern. I got the hair I wanted at a great price. I love this place. Fair warning: Starting in March, they ONLY accept AmEx or cash so plan accordingly. Hit up at ATM first. Because who carries AmEx?? read more

I paid almost $400 to get a haircut and dye my hair. I asked for jet black with blue tints. Normally when I go to a salon they dye my entire hair but she told me that it would be better to just touch up my roots since the rest of my hair was pretty dark. I agreed and let her color only the top part. I left the salon feeling satisfied by the color because it seemed to be dark. Fast forward to several days after when I finally washed I saw that my hair was in-fact not dyed jet black, but dyed a dark brown. Now I have to find a different salon to correct this huge mistake... Not sure if the product used was cheap, or if it was simply the wrong color. I pretty much paid for nothing. read more

My husband and I have been Nona's loyal customers for 3 years as of today! We always try other (cheaper) places in between when we can't make the trek to Midtown but we always regret it. We compare our hair to Nona's hair artistry all the time. She is so sweet and she is good at what she does. She is going to fix my hair in a few weeks because I cheated on her and got it done elsewhere (biggest regret ever). Lesson learned: never stray from Nona! She is currently perming my husband's hair as I type this. He is getting a control perm for vertical volume because his hair falls flat on top. It doesn't require rollers, she just uses the chemical and a flat iron. She's so good!! read more

Went to get my hair dyed from black to brown. Still looks black (no one could tell). Overpriced for the service

I've been in need of a haircut since COVID started and have been putting it off till now. Thankfully, Hair OSH was there to help squeeze me into an appointment day of. I had an appointment at 10:15 on a Saturday morning and when I arrived the salon was fairly empty therefore I was taken to get my hair washed and cut right away. My stylist was Ace and he was great. He was very meticulous with his work. The only complaint I have about my experience as that the wash felt slightly rushed but apart from that I had a solid experience and result. The salon itself was very clean and complaint with COVID protocols. I will definitely consider Hair OSH the next time I need a haircut. read more

First off this place is so CLEAN. If you are worried about catching covid, they do so much here to keep everyone safe. You walk in and get your temperature taken and then they comfortably tape your mask to your face and put a face shield on. Everything is cleaned before and after you visit. I've been here 3 times since they opened in June. Very impressive. Go see Alex! I am a male with straight Asian hair which can be quite complex but Alex figured it out from our first meeting. I like how he explains what he is going to do and why. And then he offers his recommendations but isn't pushy at all. I get compliments on my hair and feel really good. Its worth it! read more

I loved the perm I got last year at Hair OSH, so I returned last week to refresh my hair. I paid $500 (plus tips) for a haircut and a straightening/digital perm combo, but I was not pleased with the results this time around. My hair looked fine leaving the salon since it was styled, but a few days later, I was shocked when I washed and air-dried my hair. The hair was extremely dry, frizzy, and some pieces of my hair were over-processed (hair texture totally changed). The digital perm no longer looked good because the hair was so damaged. The rods also left permanent imprints in my hair. I understand that I asked for a perm and that's what I got, but I think it's also the hairdresser's responsibility to assess the client's hair health and advise against any chemical treatments if the hair isn't strong enough. I would not have proceeded had I known what the perm would do to my hair. I get perms to minimize the time I spend on my hair, but after this one, I have to spend more time in the mornings to make my hair look presentable. read more

I've been to Hair OSH several times now and honestly made the biggest mistake of going somewhere else last month for a trim. Andrew and JK have both worked on my hair previously and are amazing! I made a last minute appointment and had the pleasure of having Yongjae (YJ) work on my hair today. Initially came in just for a keratin treatment but realized I was in need of a trim to fix the disaster that occurred last month. I am extremely pleased with how my hair turned out. Truly a lesson learned for myself to not go anywhere else but OSH especially since I consider my hair complex. Those curious about pricing, let me just say that it varies depending on who your stylist is. The more experienced your stylist, expect a higher charge. You definitely get what you pay for in my experience. read more

Do not go here. I went in for a trim and asked for long layers. Nona cut 6 inches off and did chunky layers. Not at all what I asked for - she also curled it which I hate but she never even asked me how I wear it. Also, my hair naturally parts on the side but she cut it with a middle. I feel like hair dressers often curl hair after a sht cut to hide the uneven-ness. Hate this haircut so much. read more

This is my first yelp review that I've given. My barber, Ace, is not only skilled but also very attentive to my preferences. It was clear that he was not just there to cut hair but to craft a personalized look that suited me well. The attention to detail during the haircut was exceptional. Ace took his time and the precision in his work is awesome. The end result was a haircut that not only met but exceeded my expectations after searching far and wide in Manhattan for a good barber. The overall experience was great, the service was prompt, and the staff was courteous throughout. read more

Wow!!! Lucky enough to be able to get a haircut without an appointment. I love the vibe of this beauty salon, chill and industrial look topped with awesome staffs. Master stylist JK worked hard and gave me tips on how to style my hair. He worked on the details and explained why he did it as such. I'm so happy. Thank you read more

Don't go here for a perm. The price is premium but the result is less than subpar, often requiring you to go for a fix visit. Either your hair is burnt or you wash your hair the next day and it's straight. Not to mention, even when you make an appointment, you wait from minimum 10 to 30 min, often closer to the 30 minute ball park. So if they messed up the perm and you go for a fix, be ready for another good 20-30 minutes of waiting. Also, after the perm, they will not dry your hair and therefore you as a customer can't tell what the perm looks like when its completely dried until you go back home and wash the next day. They also require you to pay Amex or venmo(cash), but the funny thing is that I know they don't pay tax when they receive venmo payment but they still add tax to YOUR bill, which is actually illegal. I did not report to the NY consumer department, but contemplating. read more

This place is really clean and takes covid protocols seriously. Don't forget to make a reservation before you come try them out. I always book JK to cut my hair because he is not only patient and kind but he is also very skilled. He is excellent at what he does and I would recommend him if you want to cut your hair. He cuts your hair and your preference of style to suit you. My hair always came out looking and feeling renewed. Although it is a bit on the pricier side, I think you're paying for good quality and service. Remember, sometimes you just have to treat yourself! read more

I made an appointment with Alex and I am glad I did. I was a few minutes early but he was ready for me. Alex asked me how I wanted my hair styled and I showed him a picture. He knew right away what I wanted and advised me how my hair would look best with some minor changes. He was right away hard at work cutting my hair using sparingly the blade but with scissors. He painstakingly cut my hair with precision. I can tell he already had in mind the finished picture of my hair. This was a very good sign. I had the usual nervousness of having a brand new hairstylist but seeing how he handles his scissors I could tell I was in good hands. When he finished I could not believe it. We were both laughing so hard even behind the masks we were wearing when I told him "It looks so good even I cannot recognize my hair!!" It was that good! Alex knows how to cut Asian hair. It can be coarse and wiry and it grows outward! If you have hair like mine, go see Alex. I highly recommend him. read more

Andrew and his Team are the definition of Perfection. Talent, Professionalism, Attention to Detail, Cleanliness,Kindness and Creativity! I fly across the Country to have my hair Cut and Colored here This Salon is the real deal. Thank you Hair Osh! read more

I have been a loyal client of Hair Osh for years. When I started, my hair was long, layered and very basic. Over the years, he's transformed me from an ordinary brunette, to a fiery red-head, and then on to my current short, silvery gray look, a la "Betty Who". I am not exaggerating when I say, I receive a compliment on my hair Every. Single. Day. Andrew has always listened to my styling concerns, no matter how extreme (like the time I wanted to try out a digital perm that didn't quite take, because of my hair's fine texture). He has always given me a cut and style that turns heads everywhere I go. Beyond his talent and skill, Andrew and his staff have forever been warm, welcoming and incredibly attentive to all of their clients. I am now, and always will be, a loyal follower. Hair Osh is my forever home for all of my hair needs. read more

This salon is amazing! I stopped by one morning on an impulse decision to get a Japanese hair straightening treatment. I was originally heading to Aate Beauty next door but they were closed, leading me to Hair OSH, a few doors down. I had no appointment yet they were still able to accommodate me without an issue. That was definitely a huge plus. I've gotten a straightening treatment only once before in 8th grade. It took 5 hours since I have really thick hair. When I went to HairOSH, Lily took care of me and my treatment took, I kid you not, TWO hours!! I don't know what kinda voodoo magic Lily and the team at HairOSH do, but at the end my hair was so soft, silky, and straight! Now, a few weeks after my treatment, my hair is still amazingly soft and unruly hair is no longer in my vocabulary. I came back to get a trim today and Lily gave me a cute gift to thank me for coming back (thank you for the tea!) I will definitely be back soon~ Thank you again Lily! read more

First time experience at OSH was excellent. The place was very clean, the people all there are so courteous, and Andrew is as recommended here on yelp excellent. My new hubby gave me endless compliments are the new bangs that Andrew gave me so thank you! I would definitely come back again. Just note: The price point may be higher than you might expect so I would highly recommend asking so that you won't be disappointed. Even though I felt I had payed slightly more than I wanted, my hair looks so darn cute that I was won over in the end. read more

I rarely write comments here, but this was the WORST hair of my life EVER. The women did not even blow my hair to dry. My bang was DAMP. There is no style. My hair just stick to my skin. Haha. I am so fking angry. AVIOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

I went there spontaneously on a Wednesday afternoon and got a hair perm. Pro: - staff is friendly and helpful - good location - chic and nice interior Con: - it's pricey - i feel like they didn't wash my hair thoroughly enough. - the hair perm didn't turn out at all how i wanted. I paid about 250 for a normal perm and a day after my hair was basicall straight again just way more damaged from the chemicals and shorter...the hair stylist kept insisting that that was the best he could do because my hair was so damaged etc. but it sounded like excuses after he realized that it didn't turn out well. I would have appreciated if he had told me that the curls would not stay. Only thing he mentioned was that the curls would be frizzy. Welp could have saved me from wasting USD 250. read more

Amazing!!! Loved getting my hair done here. I have never died or permed my hair but I got it done here by Nona. She is a cute korean lady who has been doing hair at least for as long as I've lived (22 yrs old). The ambience is nice. It's have an industrial decor inside. Lots of assistants to help the stylists. Loved the service and the hairstyle I left with was exactly what I wanted. I will forever be a customer here. Definitely recommend!!!!! read more

Clean, chic, and expert hair salon - look no further if you want a digital perm or haircut especially for Asian hair! Service: My digital perm and hair cut experience from beginning to end here was fantastic. My senior stylist (and one of the directors!) was Andrew and his junior stylist was Evan. Andrew was patient and looked through all photos I had collected for what look I wanted and how tight my curls are. He made expert suggestions based on the photos (recommended a hair cut for layers which he included inside the digital perm price), and really listened to what I liked. Both Andrew and Evan were extremely attentive and meticulous during each stage of the process. I was particularly impressed by the small details (sanitary one-time use ear covers and one-time use eye/face shields to protect you from the chemicals used to digitally perm your hair) which my friend actually did not get during her own perm elsewhere. The digital perm process itself took about 3 hours during which they never rushed, nor did I feel forgotten as they continually checked in with me and refilled my tea throughout the time. It's about four stages: 1) haircut, 2) soaking your hair in a solution (this stage's solution smelled extremely strong but you're only in this stage for about 30 min) and washing it off then blow drying, 3) placing hair in electric curlers and plugging you in so that you look like a human robot, letting it sit for about 30 min, then unplugging and letting the curlers cool for another 15ish min. Your hair will come out in Extremely curly and tight ringlets - don't be alarmed these shirley temple/ llama curls are not your ultimate look. 4) brushing another solution onto your hair, let it sit for 20-30min, then wash it off, and blow dry and you'll see your curls! Aftercare, they advised to not wash your hair or get it wet for at least a few days so that the curls set. They also teach you how exactly to blow dry these curls and other hair care tips before you leave. The perm should last anywhere from a couple months to more than half year based on how tight your curls are and how your hair texture is :) Price: $423 including tax and tip (base price $350 for my longggg hair) - very reasonable considering my hair length, the included haircut, the expertise and the meticulous execution which resulted in a hairstyle that I have always wanted and looked exactly like what I envisioned- wow! (Make sure to get a quote at the beginning of the visit when he looks your hair and your pictures over, so you don't get sticker shock!) Place: beautifully renovated with cool rustic, woodsy but industrial vibe inside. Bathrooms very clean. Whole place very clean. Overall, will definitely be coming back to them next time for a haircut/trim and my next digital perm. Still can't believe that I woke up this morning with still perfect curls when my hair has never been able to hold a curl for more than 3 hours. Thank you Hair OSH, Andrew, and Evan! read more

I've been meaning to get a haircut... For two years. I don't have a hairdresser I trust in the city (I'm picky), so I just kept putting it off. A friend raved about this place, so I called to ask about their services. Jenny was very nice and helpful on the phone. She told me the prices upfront (FYI - they don't charge extra for long hair). I booked an appointment with Andrew, the director. The place itself is chic and cozy - loved the warm, open brick interior. The staff was all super professional and friendly. Andrew, especially, was extremely attentive to every single customer in there. He sat with me and made sure we were on the same page about what I wanted. His attention to detail is worthy of praise, I tell you! Since I was going from belly button length to collarbone, I was nervous. But he made me feel at ease, something told me I could trust him. And man, did he deliver! I'm in love with my new hair. I lost my earring, and the whole staff was looking for it. Like, they started going through the hair in the trash. I kept telling em to forget it, it was cheap! We didn't find it, but they insisted that I leave my info incase they do. They are too nice T - T FYI, I am Korean. But from what I saw, they had no language issues whatsoever. So don't let that deter you. Just an overall awesome experience. I left with the biggest smile on my face. I'll definitely be back. Couldn't recommend more! read more

After seeing so many good reviews here I decided to give a try. The staff was so nice and was able to accommodate me even being 20 minutes late for my appointment. The salon is very clean with a nice chic look. I've got my haircut done by Nona. She did exactly what I wanted. I'm satisfied with the final result. Shampooing was so relaxing and nice, I felt so happy. The prices are not cheap but it's reasonable for the high quality service they provide. read more

Guy was in such a hurry to cut my hair. Probably a decent place otherwise and guy seemed to know what he was doing, just in a massive rush.

Rude staff, just not worth it, especially w better places right next door. Not sure where the attitude is coming from.

I did the coloring at the beginning, the price was $180, as I immediately clarified, then they did the coloring and so on that my bill was $650, the staff should warn about the price increase logically, I thought first they remove the length, then they switch to coloring so that there would be no overspending read more

My husband has been going to Hair OSH for 10+ years so I decided to give them a shot. I called for the next day and just asked for someone who is good with long hair and they recommended Lilly. I don't really ever ask for anything complicated - BUT - I've had a lot of bad haircuts before from other salons. Lilly made my hair look better than I even imagined. After first going to her a few years ago, I haven't stopped and Lilly's now my go-to! Salon is clean and chic. Great with appointment scheduling, very friendly, and they take credit cards.
