I have been going to Marshall Kim for my haircuts for over 20 years. He's the best there is! Extremely reliable, a great haircut and wonderful conversation. My boys now get their haircuts here too. read more

I had a great experience with my hair stylist, File I highly recommend her! She did an amazing job on my haircut and blowout.

I am a happy client of MK Salon. The salon is clean, staff is friendly and the location is ideal right in Midtown East. Most importantly, I love hairstylist File. She is creative, efficient and knows what works for her clients. A wonderful combination...good salon & great stylist = wonderful cut! read more

I hadn't found a new place to get my haircut since moving to NYC, so I've been letting it grow out a lot between cuts, but as I was preparing to go out of town for a conference I thought I REALLY needed to get a haircut before I went. I had tried several nearby salons, and had some decent haircuts but none had been GREAT, and all were expensive. I decided to give MK Salon a try based on good yelp reviews, sent a message in the morning, and made an appointment for that evening! I'm very happy I made the decision - my hair turned out great, it was a good experience, and I spent a lot less money that I would have otherwise! The salon was fairly quiet, with nice music playing in the background. I was quickly welcomed and had my hair cut by Marshall. He was very nice and chatted with me a bit about what I wanted with my hair, but otherwise didn't talk a lot (which I prefer). Overall I had a great experience and I will definitely go back! read more

My experience was wonderful. This place has become my new hair salon. Claire was so detailed in her work. I left feeling beautiful and well taken care off. read more

I've been getting my hair done by File for 10 years because she does a beautiful job. She's also very kind & professional. I highly recommend her & the MK Salon. read more

Liza is one of the best colorists in NY and it is high time to make a public proclamation. It's been several years since I found Liza at another salon and, ever since, have been happily going to MK Salon, where she is part of a convivial team of several other stylists/colorists. Before Liza, I was a client at some of the most high-profile, exclusive salons in Manhattan and was never quite satisfied. Sure, I looked very well, but I always knew that I could do better. Liza is the stand-out colorist who finally heard what I wanted all along and turned me into a bright blonde! I recently saw one of my former colorists, who graciously complimented my enhanced look, saying that it is the real me. Liza's presence at MK Salon is bolstered by the warm, pristine atmosphere of MK Salon, presided over by Founder Marshall Kim. read more

I received a cut and blowout here a few months back. Both came out fine, and the woman who did my hair was such a sweetheart. The owner is incredibly nice, and prices are extremely reasonable given the area. I made a same day appointment right before the weekday lunch crowd, and it wasn't busy the entire time I was there. Very relaxing environment and unpretentious. read more

MK Salon - Hair Salons Near Me - New York, New York

After calling around a bunch of salons and gasping at their quotes for a haircut ($250 - $400), I turned to my beloved Yelp and found MK Salon. They quoted me $45 for a cut and blow dry, so I was preeeetty skeptical by the drastic price difference. However, I decided What-The-Heck and walked on over to the salon. The staff and owner are all very sweet. They are not your young hipster hairstylist, these are stylist that have decades of experience and their clients are the same. I got my hair shampooed, cut, blow dried and styled in 45 min and was surprised with the skill and efficiency of Liza (my stylist). I definitely recommend coming here if you're looking for a good quality haircut without astronomical prices. Thanks MK! read more

The haircut was nice, not the best I could get but I gave 5 stars for the service. Price was affordable, place was nice and clean. (One thing i didnt like is the head washing chair - was too high for me.) read more

Went for a blow out and was really pleasantly surprised. "File'" was the name of the woman who did my hair. She is a pro. Did a beautiful job. I will definitely go back to her. read more

Just had a hair cut at MK Salon with Alex, I love my new hair. It was easy to book an appointment and the salon is very clean and bright. I haven't had a hair cut for the last 5 months and since i moved i needed to find a new hair stylist. I work around the area and have notice MK Salon but never had the time to go until I took a day off today, and I'm so glad i did! read more

See all

I got a not-so-great haircut at another salon that made me extra nervous to get my hair cut this time around, especially because I wanted a more drastic change, going from long hair to shoulder-length. I made an appointment over the phone with Liza day of. Liza was very personable. I don't know any of the hair terms, so I just showed her some reference photos. She was able to work off that, tailoring it a bit more to work on me specifically. I love my haircut now weeks later, as much as I did when I first walked out of the salon. read more

The owner, Kim, has been cutting my hair since I went to a pediatrician. As a matter of fact, we referred his kids to my pediatrician. So I suppose I've been going to him since before he went to my pediatrician, too. Excellent styling, men and women. Full coloring, nails, etc on site for those interested. I've just experienced hair-life at the end of his scissors, so I cannot speak with authority on his other services, but his clientele always seem quite content. Everyone in there is a regular and Kim knows them by name. Like Cheers. Not only is Kim an excellent barber, he also is a travel agent for trips to Cambodia. Get your hair cut in mid-town and plan elephant treks to the beach. Talk about multi-tasking. read more

MK Salon is a great little find in nyc. I have been using the same barber for years named Danny. He does a great job every time and he has a great sense of humor. One way to find Danny there is to find the booth with the stuffed animal that says "I'm a beautician and not a magician" :) MK has an excellent mix of beauticians and barbers and from top to bottom they are all a very pleasant and happy team that will work hard to please their customers. read more

Eliza did a terrific job with highlights and a cut. Price was very reasonable by UES standards - I paid $90 for partial highlights, $45 for cut, and $30 for blowdry. Salon was clean and reasonably comfortable - I will definitely be back to see Eliza! read more

Yesterday was my first time back in any salon for over nine months. I decided to find a salon close to my apartment (no longer interested in a long salon commute post-COVID), so I did a lot of research to find a place in my neighborhood that would have a reasonable combination of good value and quality. I'm glad to share that I believe I found that at MK! Over the last several months, my hair had fallen into serious disrepair--fraying ends, breakage, and even some hair loss due to stress. Kelly, my stylist at MK, made me feel so at ease from the beginning of my appointment--she was so friendly and kind but also kept her mask on for the entire appointment and always made sure I was comfortable. She listened to my concerns about my hair and did a great job of assessing the damage and knowing what needed to be done. I walked out the salon with super fresh layers and much healthier looking hair--feeling like a million dollars after several months of feeling self-conscious about how I'd let my hair go during the pandemic...and I feel confident that I paid the lowest price for a wash/cut/blowout that I would have paid at any quality salon in this neighborhood. I highly recommend MK and especially my new stylist friend Kelly! I absolutely plan to return next time I need a cut or style. read more

I love MK Salon! It is a hidden gem on lexington avenue. I get blowouts there weekly with File. She is the best! She does such a great job and the blowout lasts about a week! read more

I visited MK Salon 4 years ago while traveling from HK to NC on the recommendation of a friend in NYC. BEST haircut ever by ALEX. Since I've repatriated to North Carolina and I still love to have my hair done by Alex. He is straightforward, will NOT use a razor on your hair, and gives the best cut. I had my "messed up" haircut RE-CUT by Alex in March. I'm returning at the end of this month to have him cut and highlight my hair. I love this salon! Marshall is so kind too. read more

So I found this Salon on Yelp looking for a good salon to cut my hair but in enough time to make it back to work within my hour break. I had Gail she was very good and was very informational about my hair and how see did it and what she used. I will definitely be coming back in the future for color and any services. Wonderful experience. I recommend Gail :) The receptionist was very helpful as well. read more

Liza did my hair for a special event recently and she did a fantastic job. I got SO many compliments on my hair. She took her time with me and carefully delivered the voluminous but still elegant look I was going for. At first, I was concerned as she was spraying a fair amount of hairspray - she assured me it was soft hairspray and needed to keep the style (I reshaped my hair just a little bit when I got home to make it a little more my look) - she was right. My hair held all night. It was full and elegant and stylish. She knows what she is doing! Sometimes I feel like I get my hair done for an event and it is only slightly better than I could do myself. Not in this case - she delivered something I could never do on my own and I absolutely loved it! read more

I called specifically to ask if they use a straight razor for me and my friend for our beards and they said yes. When I walked in they didn't, and then made us wait for a normal haircut for people that walked in afterwards, because the guy couldn't answer a question properly. Please improve clarity and customer service read more

I went in to get my highlights redone and Kelly did an amazing job. She went above and beyond to provide me the best service and I'm definitely coming back. Everything I expected and more! read more

Liza is the best colorist I have ever worked with. She also gives a great haircut & blow out. I have sent several of my good friends to her, all of them have found her professional & top notch & have remained her clients. I have followed Liza to every salon she worked at over the last 10 plus years. I was a model , on several soap operas for many years & stage productions. During that time I had many many so called " professionals"- all in the hair dressers unions etc mess with my hair & often ruin it. Liza restored my hair to health & colors it perfectly without any damage. I was shocked when she could match my real base color exactly when we first met . I also HIGHLY recommend her for highlights. Frankly I recommend her for everything. On one last note- I have read the negative comment from Hela M. and one other. In response to Hela, I have a very hard time believing that anyone left that salon in tears. I go to Liza about once every 6 weeks for over 10 years & she is always working on a few people at the same time. ( having a client sitting under the drier for color allows the colorist the time to multi task if you are able, which she is ) I have NEVER seen anyone leave her without a very happy face & beautiful hair. I usually during my time at the salon see her with 3 or 4 clients and not once in over 10 years have I seen an unhappy client. I'll say it again- I fully recommend Liza !!!! read more

Liza did an amazing job on my highlights and keratin treatment! Fast service and she was fully focused on me. Super job! Daniella gave me an awesome mani/pedi while I was getting my hair done! Great team! Liza can do it all for your hair and Daniella can do the rest! read more

I have been getting my haircut at MK salon for over 20 years, and continue to see him whenever I need a haircut. The couple times when I have been forced to get it my hair cut at other salons/barbershops, I have had to have Marshall repair the damage at a later date. Might highest recommendation for anyone needing a good haircut! read more

I'm town from LA and was desperately looking for someone to help with my hair. It's always scary to go with a new person, but I randomly walked in to MK Salon and was greeted by Gail. She offered to take care of me and even gave me an amazing deal on a Brazilian blow out. Now, I'm contemplating moving to NYC just so she can be my new hair dresser. The salon is very nice, and Gail was absolutely amazing! I highly recommend this place and will forever go back there anytime I'm in the city. read more
