Within the first 5 mins of sitting down for a "consultation", I was told I have frizzy puffy hair in the back, and I needed a perm asap. 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. read more

I used to come often but my hair stylist is no longer here, I got a haircut recently and tried a new stylist Ara. 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. read more

Didn't listen to what I wanted. So many assistants running around who don't know what they're doing. One was so busy yapping with another assistant, she didn't realize she was blinding me. They also didn't fully blow dry. I walked out with the bottom half of my hair wet. What a waste of time and money. Would not recommend this place. read more

Had my cut done by Kay! She was sweet and gave me advice based on the cut I wanted. The pictures I presented vs what I was asking for didn't quite align, so we came to a middle ground that I love! Interior is clean, staff are very friendly, and they'll grab your jacket and bag for you. Bring cash for a slight discount! read more

The loose curl perm is the pic I provided and this is what I got. I asked Brian to fix it and all he could do was down perm the sides some more to make it look less like an Afro shape...he let me know this is exactly how the cut is with the picture provided. It was too late to fix anything since he already cut my hair like the one "pictured". He also didn't use heat for my perm (which I've never experienced before) and didn't style my hair similar to the picture after I asked him. This was a $200 cut and perm btw read more

Kelly is amazing!!! This was my first time getting a digital perm, and she was so knowledgeable and walked me through the whole thing. Her work is precise and detail oriented. You can truly tell that she is passionate about her work and her clients. She knew exactly what I needed for my face shape. The cut and perm turned out exactly as I wanted. I don't trust many people with my hair, and harueh has become my go to salon! read more

Harueh - Jelly perm by Kelly - Hair Salons Near Me - New York, New York

Lousy and inflexible customer service. The shop cancelled my appointment at the last minute while I was already on my way and was stuck in traffic. Zero flexibility to even arrange another hair stylist for my time slot or arrange a slightly later time slot. Screwed up my holiday plans. DEFINITELY DO NOT GO TO THIS SALON! read more

Came here for a cut and perm with Jenny, and was very impressed with the professionalism here! They were quick to get me comfortable, wash my hair, and quickly begin the cut. The perm was also quick and well-priced, which is a huge plus! Jenny is very knowledgable and answered my questions, including giving tips on how I should be styling the new cut. Overall, a great Korean salon with polite staff and a pleasant experience. read more

I had a great time getting a male hair perm by the stylist Ellie. The whole process took 1.5 hours and she was extremely professional. The cost is a bit high but honestly really reasonable for the level for service they provided. Great perm and great experience. read more

Everyone at this salon is kind and respectful. I love going to Jackie for my haircuts--she always knows exactly how to style my hair perfectly. I've also gotten a perm and a root perm, and both were executed flawlessly. Personally, the upkeep was a bit high for me, so I didn't continue with touch-ups, but Jackie did a phenomenal job. read more

I went to this salon for a haircut with Nicole. While I can acknowledge that she has technical skills, the overall experience left me feeling disappointed and overlooked. Unlike how I've seen her interact with other Korean clients--taking time to consult and understand their hair needs--Nicole skipped any consultation with me entirely. She sent me straight to the washing station without even looking at my dry hair or asking what kind of haircut I wanted. That initial lack of communication set the tone for the rest of the appointment. I also noticed that she didn't treat the Spanish assistants with much respect, which was uncomfortable to witness and gave the place a negative atmosphere. To top it off, I was initially told the haircut would be $100 plus tip, but at checkout, I was charged $120 before tip--with no explanation. I paid the full amount plus gratuity, but walked away feeling taken advantage of. In short, while the cut itself was fine, the experience felt impersonal, uncomfortable and left me with a bad taste. I likely won't return. read more

I had a woman's haircut with Jenny and she was so friendly and so great :))). End results were exactly what I showed her. It cost me 100$ + tip. read more

I've been getting my hair cut by Jackie for the last couple years and she does an incredible job each time. It's clear she's extremely knowledgeable and experienced. She does a great job of listening to what I'm looking for as well as offering her own suggestions as needed. Lastly, she is super friendly and makes me feel comfortable every time I come in. Highly recommend Jackie! read more

I called to book a women's haircut appointment for a week later. I was the closing appointment, so I was asked to pay upfront for the haircut ($100 by credit card). At the end, I paid tip by Venmo. I was taken to a hair washing station, which was relaxing and took about 5 minutes. Then, I sat in a chair while my stylist finished with the previous client. Meanwhile, my hair was blow-dried. This took around 15 minutes. I asked my stylist what cut would look best, and it was essentially a shorter version of what I currently had (some layers + thinning + face-framing layers). The cut took around 25 minutes. To be honest, I had a good experience and like the cut, but I was a little offput by asking to pay at the beginning and wish that there was a difference in cost for length of hair / type of ask for haircut. read more

There aren't that many recent reviews for this place although there were so many customers during my time there and it seemed like they were regulars. All the stylists were very attentive and welcoming to their customers and covid precautions were taken as there was a seat in between each customer. I dyed my hair at home with the hello bubble dye and after a month it became an orange-y shade with dark overgrown roots-- which was not a flattering sight at all. Nicole did an amazing job from the initial consultation to the end of appointment. I had a perm 3 months ago so I didn't want to bleach my hair so she did subtle balayage to add dimension and make my hair a darker shade to blend with my natural roots. Then my hair was cut into a layered style. While walking to the subway, my hair felt so bouncy, lighter and looked so much healthier than when I first came into the salon. (~$370 in total) Thank you Nicole! read more

Will never come back here! I asked for a TRIM and specifically said 1-1.5inches off. Reina started cutting and cutting and ended up cutting off 3+ inches! Every time I look in the mirror I want to cry. I asked for some layers and she gave me SUPER choppy, uneven and chunky layers. I have very thick hair and it looks HORRIBLE. It's like a wolf cut. Half of my hair is at my chin length and half is 3-4 inches longer. No finesse. She kept saying at the end that she "kept the length" and technically my hair is still longer in the back but I have these very very short layers for about 50% of my hair. I want them to make it right obviously, but it's impossible since most of my hair was chopped off. It's going to take months to grow up. Very upset. Would not recommend. Maybe they are different for perms and color, but she clearly did not do what I asked for a TRIM. I've honestly never been angrier at a haircut. In the before and after you can see how much length she took off - does that look like 1 inch?! I've also been to other high end Asian hair salons in the city and I've always been asked how I normally style my hair, do I want a style that needs to be blow dried every day, etc. Reina only asked me how I part my hair? As a new customer, I thought they would do more of an intake on my hair preferences? There was none of that tailored customer service, she just started hacking away at my hair. I wanted to try harueh because it's closer to me than my previous salon which was in SoHo, but I am traumatized by this experience. Worst hair experience of my life. They clearly only know how to cut thin, silky asian hair and not asian hair of other textures (wavy, thick, etc). They don't listen to what the client wants, the stylist only cut whatever she felt like she thought "looked good". At the end of the appointment she kept trying to convince me that my hair "looked good" which was REALLY annoying because it did NOT look good to me. My shortest layers are now only inches long. My chest length hair is now at my chin. I wouldn't have this haircut even if they gave me $1,000. RUN AWAY from this salon. Reina also didn't realize I could understand Korean and the whole appointment she was talking with her co-worker about how hungry she was and how she couldn't wait for dinner. Overall, a super unprofessional stylist (in terms of skill level and client relationship). Do NOT even consider coming here. I am not even sure how they are so highly rated on Yelp / so recommended by asians in the city. They don't know what they're doing if they can't do something simple like a trim. read more

I have been going to this salon for over a year and they did a great job until recently. I went a couple of days ago requesting face framing layers and dead ends off. Instead of cutting the dead ends off, my stylist, Brian, thinned out my hair from the top to bottom. This is going to take about a year to grow back. read more

Been going here for almost a year now and it's been great! Kelly has been awesome at helping me pick what style best fits, inspo, and helping me fix my hair (past barber pulled my side hairline too high) Been getting my sides permed (lasts much longer and looks better than a fade for my hair which grows outward) read more

Had a great experience getting my hair cut by Jackie at Harueh!! She was so sweet and very meticulous with my cut. Once I showed her some inspiration pics, she explained her plan to me given that I have pretty thick hair with some bleaching. It turned out great, and I got so many compliments on my hair after! They use Venmo for tips and offer a discount if you pay in cash. read more

Always a pleasant experience. Very professional and friendly during the whole experience. My hair stylist Nicole is great! Super friendly and welcoming! Definitely recommend for a professional cut! read more

I have been getting my hair cut from Nicole for almost 10 years - her haircuts and perms are always top notch. My hair looks great even as it grows out for 2 months. She also gives great advice on what she recommends customized to your preferences and style. There is no one else I would trust with my hair. read more

My son has been wanting to perm his hair for a while now but he wanted to go someplace that has experience with Asian hair. During our recent trip to NYC we thought this was the perfect time and place for him to finally get it done. We decided to go to Harueh in Koreatown and called to make an appointment. Fortunately Kelly was able to fit him in her schedule while we were in town. My son was very nervous before his appointment, but when we got there he saw another guy also getting a perm and a lot of other Asian guys getting haircuts which put him at ease. His wash, cut and digital perm came to $150 (before tip) which I think is very reasonable and Kelly did such a fantastic job! The whole process took about 2.5 hours, but it was all well worth it. My son is very happy with how it turned out. read more

Went for Men's Hair Cut & Perm, they were super nice and very quick! Ara was super sweet and did great on my hair, I really love it. The place was also really cute and overall everyone there was super sweet. Great Vibes, Great Hair, will be coming back! read more

I was referred to Jean at Harueh after seeing my friend (Asian Male) with an eye popping haircut. I am of South Asian descent and figured I'd give Jean a try. I can't be happier with my haircuts, I've been going now for about 6 months and I get compliments everywhere I go. Jean takes her time and uses techniques to ensure the hair is cut evenly and not excessively. It grows out really nice as well. With a busy work/travel schedule it is nice to know I'm looking fresh even if I'm a few days late before my desired haircut time! Highly recommend! read more

i pay about $100-120 for mens cut here and had to stop going because they literally put 0 effort into the haircut.

My hair was getting unruly and way too long, so I made an appointment at Harueh because I had heard good things from friends. My appointment was with Jean and she understood the mission! I asked for shoulder length with layers and curtain bangs. She checked in that we were on the same page in terms of length and type of layers multiple times during the cut. She also asked me about my normal routine and then got to work. I was extremely happy with my haircut and will definitely come back next time when I need another cut! Or I may also consider a perm next time. Since i was one of the last appointments of the day, they did ask me to pay before I got started but I was thankful I could get this in after work. They have a different price for cash and credit. I paid $95 cash for my haircut and tipped using Venmo. read more

After trying out several hairstylists in K-town for Korean men's hairstyles, I'm glad I stumbled upon Kelly at Harueh. She consistently delivers a great haircut without any issues. Kelly pays attention to what you're looking for and executes it with precision. The atmosphere at Harueh is comfortable, and Kelly's approach is friendly and professional. I appreciate the reliability and consistency in her work. If you're in search of a reliable hairstylist for Korean men's hairstyles, I recommend giving Kelly a try at Harueh. read more

I've been going to Harueh for years now for haircuts and coloring and it's the best! I have thick, wavy, Asian hair which is generally hard to keep styled. So when I first visited Nicole, I needed her help figuring out a mid-length style that suited me. She hit the nail on the head (figuratively) and since then each time I visit we are able to try something new and keep it fresh. Nicole is so fun to talk to and has given me some great tips over the years. The staff is super friendly and the ambiance is cool, casual, and open. I highly recommend Harueh and Nicole if you are looking for a new stylist!! read more

I'm so happy I tried this salon after seeing it on YouTube multiple times! I reached out to Nicole via Instagram Bc I really liked how she cut layers and my current hairstyle was getting too heavy, making it difficult to style. Nicole was very responsive and knew what I wanted in order to let my shorter layers and bangs grow in. She helped me even out my layers and made my hair feel lighter, giving it more movement. She knew it would be best to keep the same length and just give my hair some ~shape~ she also styled my hair very nicely, making my bangs flowy and fluffy and accentuating my layers. Thank you Nicole for a great haircut! Also the salon is very clean and calming, and they use very high quality, nice smelling products. read more

Had a great experience with Kit getting a haircut at Harueh. I head about Harueh from a friend, and they are a large enough salon that there seemed to be quite a few open appointments available even in the evenings. Interior has a pretty cool vibe and it's very lively with the customers coming through. The clientele appears to mostly be Korean and male, although without a barbershop vibe. They did a great job with my women's cut. There's a lot of support staff running around, including people to take your clothes and bags from you right away and multiple receptionists answering the phone. Definitely far more prompt service than the small size would suggest. During my first blow dry, pre-blow out when Kit was drying my hair for further cutting, someone came by to dry the other half of my head to speed up the time. Kit was very understanding and good at listening to what I wanted and giving non-pressure feedback. Overall I'm very happy with my haircut. Women's wash cut and blow dry was $60 + tip, and they take card. read more

Got a haircut with Ellie yesterday and loved it! She cut my hair exactly how I requested and looks exactly like the reference photo I provided - long layers while keeping length and shorter curtain bangs. I don't know why but in my experience stylists will try to convince me to cut my hair super short and thin it out but Ellie just listened to my concerns and layered my hair without making it look thin! I have thinner hair at the front of my face so most stylists don't usually know how to cut it without making it look sparse, but Ellie paid really close attention and made sure she layered my bangs and also considered how my hair would look put up with the bangs as well. Really happy with my cut and will come back again and request her! read more

Kelly did an amazing job with my hair. Her suggestions were spot-on, and I absolutely love the cut and perm she gave me!

I had a wonderful haircut with JK Lee and the whole experience here. I've been to salons where I felt like they were rushing, but JK was very focused and thorough. I told him I wanted a cut where I wouldn't have to spend a lot of time styling it myself and he took the time to look at the hair from different angles, moving it around or putting it in a pony tail, so that it would look its best. I appreciated this attention to detail. It's rare that I find myself liking the hair cut before they even finish styling it, but I could tell by the way it was falling when it was still wet that I would like it -- and I love it! I haven't had a haircut in a long time so it was in need of some TLC. I'm really glad I decided to come here, worth the money. read more

I had a root straight perm with Kelly a few days ago and I am so happy with the result. It was a very thoughtful process and Kelly was very focused. I got wave perm a few months ago from other place, but she made that transition seamless. It looks so natural and my hair looks so much healthier without my efforts. My morning got so much easier. I would strongly recommend Kelly and I will definitely go back to her. Bravo! read more
