Great hair salon for highlights and haircuts. I had a bad haircut elsewhere, and I traveled here to fix it. They did an excellent job working with what they had. They also didn't take forever, it was quick and efficient. I also got some highlights as well, and they turned out great. Wish I had gotten more highlights, but that was just a miscommunication between me and the people here, so I'd still give this place 5 stars. Would definitely come back. I've had so many horrific experiences at other hair salons when it comes to highlights and color. But this place definitely knows what they are doing. They get a lot of customers coming in for specifically blonde highlights, so I'm guessing it's one of the things they are very good at. The inside of the shop is typical of most hair salons in this area, and they have comfortable seating. They also have a small waiting area if you brought someone along. read more

Asked for purple curlers for my perm and they did white and left it uneven in the front left side of hair goes down below the eyes and the right is above the eyes, forced me to get a haircut and made my side hair completely bald which i didn't ask for and showed multiple times a reference picture. And forced me to give a tip. 0/10 don't go read more

DO NOT COLOR YOUR HAIR HERE !!!!!!! Owner killed and ruined my hair with bleach, my hair started breaking off and ended up in my hand when I touched it as if I was going through chemotherapy and had the audacity to say that I ruined my own hair when this was the first time I bleached my hair. I flipped on her and the bitch inside me came out. She treated my hair very poorly and did not honor whatever she discussed with me when I walked in. They use cheap products on your hair and has no clue how to mix or match colors, she does whatever she wants. My hair did not come out to the color I chose. Never coming back read more

Do not go here. My niece came to dye her hair blue. She went in with her hair down her back. She left like the pictures. They left the bleach too long and it killed her hair. She had never dyed her hair before and they treated her hair poorly. Do not go here if you want to keep your hair. read more

Strolled in on a Saturday late afternoon, honestly wasn't expecting any open availabilities. Guess it was my lucky day I needed a color as my greys were dominating definitely need a hair change. It took about 2 hours for color (mind you single process so nothing fancy) between cut and style +/- 1 hr. The color was like mhew. The cut and the way he styled it glam glam glam. Sorry I can't recall his name but I'll def want him to chop off my locks next time. He took his time to get the layers right then styled it nicely. I was thinking this must be $$$$$. Come time to check out the lady told me $64. Um... I had a haircut too ya know. Yes yes I'm aware. $50 for the color and you get a discount on the cut $14. I was like what awesome sauce read more

New Hair 86 - Loving the new layers and the color is so subtle - thank you!! - Hair Salons Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I've gone here for years! Ken's my go to. They've been diligent with the cleanliness during Covid. Highly recommend calling to make an appointment (esp for ken), but they accept walk ins too! read more

No frills hair salon. Very affordable, it was only $18 for my haircut and wash! I got layers and trimmed about 2 inches off of my long hair.

I will literally go as far out of my way to go here as I need to even during the pandemic I was thinking about how to get to this salon. Not only is it reasonably priced but you also get an amazing hair cut and dry and a scalp massage to boot. I've been going here for about nine years. Michael is amazing! read more

One of my guiltiest pleasures used to be "Tabatha's Salon Takeover" on Bravo. For those who don't know, Tabatha Coffey is an Aussie born hair dominatrix sent to salons across the country to "whip" their standards back up to par. After a period I called the "Gray Experiment" I bit the bullet and went back to my natural black for the new year. A friend recommended this place based on the quality of work and the price. If I passed it on the street without knowing this, I would never go in. It looks like Tabatha needs to come take over. However, that perception of quality is not reality. The level of skill in there can stand next to any high end salon....if not surpass it. Don't look around at the hair bunnies and balled up tissues on the floor or the rickety supply trollies and bleach stained towels or even the Jackson Pollock like stains from splattered hair dye on the walls. These stylists are amazing! As the colorist, whose English was non-existent, looked at my grays, she immediately whipped out the hair dryer to open my follicles up for the dye to take better. She massaged and went over every strand, from root to tip, and applied color guard around my face and ears to protect against staining. She even placed fine pieces of paper along my most stubborn gray regions to seal in the dye better, so it would take. I suddenly had a flashback to a color appointment at a $200 value in Soho years back, where the colorist did maybe a quarter of the work this woman did and two weeks later, the grays were exposed to my dismay. Fancy hair dye my ass. Moving on to the hair washing experience - minus a couple of comments in Chinese that were clearly about how much hair I have to which I smiled and said, "I know it's thick" and she replied "soooooooooooo thick," she made me feel like a cat. The scalp and forehead massages were vigorous but relaxing at the same time. On to the cut, which had me thinking about Tabatha's advice on how to check to see if hair is cut evenly. This girl checked and re-checked. Then asked me if I wanted to blow it out straight. I said just dry it curly/wavy; my natural hair state. The stylist took "curly" literally and proceeded to turn my head into a 1970's retro Charlie's Angels do. I did NOT complain...two hours after walking into this place, I left feeling feminine and photo-shoot ready without a lock out of place. How much? $64 bucks. I almost fell over...Tabatha would say to raise those prices. Good thing she hasn't discovered this place!!! read more

This place is reasonably priced when you want to get your hair washed and blow. You get a massage and the washers are very polite and provides great accommodation. If you want to request a hairstylist to blow your hair request for Coco. I highly recommend this place. read more

One day I went thr without an appointment n got the guy Jim for hair cutt...it was hard to communicate..they speak in mandarin prolly..lolz..the shampoo was good n relaxing..though it is a very busy place...then I was seated n showed a picture of what I want..then after few minutes Jim suggested something else n after discussing I said okay..n after blow dry it looked good..n I was happy..though it wasn't what I wanted.. before I started my haircut I asked him about the price ..was told $14..but when I went to pay they said $18..I gave them $22 with the tips... though I felt little deceived... Then I went there for a hair do...I wanted something really simple ...Jim said yeah he would do that...after washing hair he hust put some (4/5) bobby pins thats it..I was lokking like a child going to school or church..he did nothing charged me $18 buks... but he did nothing.......... Very unpredictable...unpolished... n I found them kinda Dumb!!.. cause if u dont know how to do something...the right thing to is not doing it!!!!... don't scam or fool other people... read more

I went in before to get haircut. I didn't have to wait at all when I first walk in. They told me to go to the back for the hair wash first. She asked me which stylist but since it's my first time cutting there, I said it don't matter. After getting wash, I got seated and the stylist came to where I was. She ask me what cut I wanted and I told her and show her a picture. After she finish cutting my hair I pay and left. Only after I got home that's when I notice how choppy my layers are. I didn't like the hair cut and I feel like I told her already beforehand not to give me choppy layers. I won't be coming back here. read more

I've been coming to this place for regular blowouts for almost ten years, and the service tends to vary. When they're not busy, it's a great place. I'd recommend Michael or Simon, both are really great for blowouts (even with my super thick and curly hair). Do NOT go to the lady hairdressers, they tend to be rough and don't produce anything nice. When the salon is busy, sometimes it can be an hour or more of waiting. I'm sure some of the ladies who wash hair talk trash in Chinese, but I can't understand it and the washes are very thorough so I don't particularly care. Wash and blow for me comes out to $14 (with tip I usually spend ~25-30) even with fairly long hair -- well worth it! read more

Wow; what a great experience I had here. A lot of my friends were going to Hair 86 to get their hair blown out; they looked great, and they only spent between 10 and 12 bucks!!! I, however, have super thick, curly hair, (think Beyonce when it is big and curly) and I didn't think an Asian salon was going to either be happy to work on me, or do a good job. Well, was I wrong. They didn't flinch at my super thick hair. They were gracious, patient and calm. James did an amazing job!!! Despite going to the gym, I have been able to maintain my straight, but full, hair for six days, with just a little flatiron touch up!!!! This is not a fancy salon; but it is clean and comfortable and they do great work for incredibly reasonable prices. Yeah Hair 86! read more

I live just a few blocks away and have been desperate for a haircut for months. I walked in around 5 in the afternoon and was seen immediately without an appointment. The hair wash was literally the best I ever had. The lounger was actually comfortable and the wash included a long scalp, neck and shoulder massage that melted away weeks worth of tension and stress. Michael took his time with my haircut, and everything: wash, cut and blowdry came out to $16!!! I will be back. I can't believe that I've been spending well over $50 for so much less in Manhattan. read more

Terrible experience. When I arrived and said that I did not know Chinese, they proceeded to scoff at me in Chinese (I knew enough to know insults). Then the haircut itself was subpar. When I asked for adjustments, the barber was visibly bothered like I was taking up too much of his time. The worst part was when I went to pay, I handed the cashier $12 for the haircut and $2 tip. She proceeded to ask for more and I gave another $1 which isn't that big of a deal. It was when she said that was insufficient and demanded another dollar that I felt like they were outright stealing from their customers. If you're expecting $16 per haircut then you should just put $15 as your price instead of lying and saying $12 and expecting $4 tips. 33% tip for an appallingly rude service and subpar cut. Never returning. read more

When I asked for something short and neat, I wasn't expecting to be able to see where use of the trimmer ended and where long hair began. There is very little transition from short to long hair and it isn't remotely even. Since we didn't speak that much, I thought what I described was mutually understood, but it's definitely not what I imagined. Maybe some hair product will help conceal this fact, but at this rate, I'll have to visit another barber just to fix it, something I'm not looking forward to even if their rate is $10/cut. The worst part (and why I rated it just 2 stars) is because at the end when he said, "OK, all done," in addition to being uneven, he asked "what's wrong with it?" Even after a touch up, it's still noticeable to me. I question how many male hairstyles he's mastered or if he's just as more attune to female hairstyles, as most customers appear to be women. Either way, this is my experience with James. read more

I've been coming to this salon for the past year and they are great. They all know how to cut hair and dye it good. I never walked out of their unhappy. I had red hair and it turned orange in some areas so I went there to do something with it and I wanted to highlight it to grow out the red. The color I wanted to do the lady told me not to and she picked a color and I must say it looked amazing. I recon man my friend there who had so many colors in her hair and they fixed her hair to all one brown. I would highly recommend them. read more

Its horrible place couldn't ask for more Got totally different highlights then i wanted read more

I hear about all these B.S. salons that cost ridiculous money to pay for when I can get a great meal for the prices they charge. This place on the other hand is outstanding and wayyyy cheaper than these quote unquote wannabe trendy places.This guy knew what he was doing. My hair felt much lighter from the layer he took off. I was stunned at how thick my hair really is. They took me immediately and it was just about the best hair style I ever had. They definitely did a Rockin job. I plan to go back read more

My friend recommended me this salon because of Ken (she made a hair-cut with him). Well, I tried and..... was happy as child. He did even much better than I expected. And took only $ 12 for a layers in a long hair. Delaqua Salon took for the same hair-cut $40. So I definitely will recommend this to anyone who want to have a cheap and cool hair-cut. read more

I drive from Staten Island to go to this place bc it's cheap & cheerful. My hair is so long & a wash & blowout easily should cost me $40 by my house but at this place it's $14. Insane! My fav part is the wash. They double shampoo your hair & give the best head massage for like 15mins & then like a 2mim back massage all for my $14.00! You have to be careful who you go to though bc sometimes they over blow your hair & it breaks. I usually go to Michael. read more
