I tipped the stylist $10 right away because he was very kind, but when I went to pay, I was charged $59 -- for just the blow dry. I asked the owner if she felt that price was reasonable for a 10‑minute service, and she responded, 'It's about getting the job done.' I normally pay around that amount for a full wash, blowout, and styling, so this felt extremely overpriced and disappointing. It's unfortunate, because I work in the area and might have become a regular customer, but after this experience, I won't be returning.

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.

She's also been going to…read morehim for awhile and after my first haircut with him, I can genuinely say it was one of the best haircuts Ive ever had - it was exactly what I wanted and I walked away feeling so happy with the results. I went back recently to bleach my hair and I was so shocked by how good it came out - and in only 4-5 hours! He's definitely a professional and knows what he's doing especially when it comes to dying/bleach/toning and cutting short Asian hair to fit my face shape. I rarely need to tell him to fix or that I'm not satisfied with my hair; I trust his process and he's never failed me.

I used to love this place but this will be my last visit. Both the front desk and stylist were cold…read moreand unfriendly. I asked for ash brown (which I usually get) but I got a way lighter color than expected and the bleach (he went over the bleach twice) really damaged my hair. On top of that, they charged me for a haircut I never asked for. During the balayage, the stylist cut/thinned (no idea what he did because he never asked me) some of my hair (maybe 10 "snips"?) and they later charged me an additional $70 for the "haircut." This really pissed me off because in the middle of my appointment, I even heard an assistant ask in Mandarin "is she getting a haircut?" and the stylist shook his head. I was really unhappy with my hair that I went to get a hair treatment (for the dry, damaged hair) and toner at a different salon a week later. That stylist even asked "who did your hair?"

I guess she didn't style it? But anyways, if you're just looking for a basic cut make sure to communicate that so you don't accidentally double the cost of your haircut.

She explained everything she did and helped me to feel so much more comfortable--especially because she clearly knows what she's doing.

She came to the photo studio, which I appreciated because it was one of the hottest days of the year, right on time, carrying every type of hair and makeup product imaginable. She worked for about an hour and a half on my look, and was kind enough to stay around for much of the shoot to make adjustments as the shoot progressed. She was also extremely friendly and relaxed, which can't help but make for better pictures. I have seen my final pictures, and I couldn't be happier with the way the makeup photographed (she used colors I probably wouldn't use in everyday life, but they worked for the photos--she really knows what she's doing when it comes to how makeup will photograph). I also found her rates to be extremely reasonable, considering the amount of time and effort she puts in. I recommend her highly, and wouldn't hesitate to use her again for makeup.
