After not having a haircut for 7 months (life got way too busy with a new baby), it was finally time for a long overdue haircut! I stopped by QB House on a holiday around lunch- there were 4 stylists there, all busy- I waited about 10 min or so (really not bad). Interior is very typical of the usual QB House, where each stylist has their own station and has a closet for you to put away your coat/bag. Know that QB House's service doesn't include hair wash/dry- they'll sit you down, ask what you're looking for and spritz your hair with water but that's it. I feel that it's really efficient. Akiko-san cut my hair with precision and speed. I felt like she really listened to what I was looking for and expertly clipped away at my crazy mane of hair. Note that there's a credit card fee now- if paying by cash, its $35 but with card its $36. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great experience! Thank you QB House![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Doris is fantastic. I've seen her several times now, and the quality of her work is consistently excellent--precise, attentive, and exactly what I ask for every time. The service is always top-tier; she takes her time, listens, and makes sure everything is perfect before I leave. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The vibe in her chair is great too--friendly, relaxed, and professional.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Highly recommend Doris if you're looking for a barber who truly knows what she's doing. read more

Back for my second appointment with Doris, and she nailed it again! [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's such a relief to find a stylist who is consistent and actually listens to what I want.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] She remembered exactly how we did it last time but made a few tweaks that made it even better. I've officially found my go-to person!" read more

chihiro gave me a haircut. She is good. I should have asked her to go shorter but that was on me -- she did really well. I'd go back to her. Thank you -- Chihiro. read more

Quick, affordable, and good haircut in the city. I agree with the other reviews that this is not the place to switch up your style but if you know what you want it is perfect. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Good mix of male and female clients that all seemed happy with their haircuts.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

The best $25 I've ever spent. From the Harry Potter store, a short queue waiting outside across the street intrigued me. I strolled over to discover QB House Tokyo, a Japanese barber shop chain which offers no-frills, unisex express haircuts at an affordable flat rate. Put my name on the clip board list, joined the wait and was seated within the hour. I showed Joy, my stylist, several bobbed haircut photos. We talked about specifics, then away she went. Snip, snip, snip. She also gave helpful tips on how to manage my style post-cut. I love my new bob. Thank you, Joy! Others do too apparently, as I've received many compliments. People were genuinely blown away when they found out it was from an express cut chain instead of an über expensive salon. QB House Tokyo accepts credit cards. Cash only for stylists' tips, though. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Thank you Mr. Takahiro ( Bleecker St.) for a wonderful hair cut. He was very patient with my limited Venmo skills![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] どうもありがとうございます The prices are going up to $35. $40. Reasonable in todays' world. They just cut no fancy styling, no frills, just efficient, nice, & accommodating! After several hair cuts in various locations at QB I am so happy! Thank you QB read more

First time here and pretty happy with the service. $25 for a unisex express haircut - can't complain for the price! I waited about 20 mins until it was my turn. You can put your name down and walk around the area. I also found out later on there is an online reservation option which I wasn't aware of but will try next time. The staff was very polite and helpful; the place is also clean so win win. Will definitely come back here again!! read more

QB House Tokyo Flatiron - Hair Salons Near Me - New York, New York

I have been going to QB House for years and the price has been going up while the quality has sharply declined. While there are still some very talented stylists, there are some terrible ones. Today I stopped in for a quick haircut, which I keep very simple for a man. I took a quick look when it was done and nothing looked off. When I went home to wash my hair, I noticed that the back of my head was cut in all different sizes. I had chunks of hair that were long and some that were short. I am quite disappointed, as I work in a professional setting and cannot get another haircut/adjustment until next weekend. For someone that does this for a living, it's unfathomable that they cannot keep the same size constant on the back of my head. Safe to say I will not be going back again. read more

I am sorry to say but [[HIGHLIGHT]]I had a first great experience here and the subsequent 5 times I've gone have been absolute disasters.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]My very clear instructions and photos of what I want are immediately disregarded[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] and the first move made with the clippers completely ruins the haircut from first stroke. I have yet to look even decent leaving this place since that first haircut, I always ending up looking either looking like a 20th century fascist or like a blind mouse with severe motor disabilities did the haircut. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I can't ever return to this place, it's truly embarrassing to walk out and have to deal with this mess on my head until it grows back.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

They close at 7 and I was there before 6:30. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The guy working right by the door literally turned me away saying they are close In a rude manner.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] i Was going to ask my regular barber if he is available but this guy didn't even let me step in. Never going there and deleting my tiktok video revie about this place. A lot of people liked my haircut and I made a video about how nice everyone is and the quality of haircut but today was disappointing read more

Excellent, precision hair cuts with minimum waits for ladies and men by Japanese techs. They only charge $30!! read more

Haircuts here are now $30. Tips are only in cash. This is a Japanese owned barber shop with a spartan outfit that gives haircuts to both sexes although more men come here than women. Names are entered on a clipboard and the wait could be under twenty minutes depending on how many people are there. One regular customer added his name and went off for a coffee after being told that it would take thirty minutes for his turn. Yesterday I went for a haircut and got Lei who asked me how I wanted my haircut. Hair is usually cut dry. An older man was being given the royal treatment as his hair took almost half an hour! The lady hair dressers seem adept at their art because everyone leaves satisfied including myself. read more

A quick and affordable haircut chain. They do not wash, dye, or work with chemicals. It is purely a haircut spot with buzzers, scissors, and a water spray bottle. The location gets busy on the weekend; the wait can be longer then. There is a signup sheet that "closes" before end of day to accommodate closing on them. They take card; tip in cash. There is a single unisex bathroom. read more

EDIT: Came back the next morning and Maki was terrific, she asked so many clarifying questions and fixed it as much as I think was possible. They do have a guarantee so this second visit wasn't a second charge but I was happy to tip for her help. Unfortunately she can't forcibly grow my hair back to fix the bald spots the last barber cut in on the left but everything else is much cleaner and doesn't need a pound of wax to hold in place. ---original review below--- [[HIGHLIGHT]]I came to a QB House because I wanted someone with experience with Asian hair -- the website didn't even have this barber (Mauricia, according to the venmo profile for tipping) listed.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] She seemed confused by my hair type which is just a denser straight hair -- she struggled to get hair clips where she needed them and kept running the clipper into them. She ended up revisiting the back three separate times, each time cutting a little more away and she ignored my ask for a taper and gave me a squared edge that won't grow out nicely In the end I got something like a mushroom for a haircut because she left the sides long, sticking out, and "fixed it" by smearing a gross amount of wax along the sides that left my hair completely rigid and straight. Now that I've washed it I can also see there is no blending as it goes up and there's even a little bald patch on my left side above the ear. She said it'd look great once it grew out a little bit, like yeah I imagine a month of growth would cover up the mistakes [[HIGHLIGHT]]I wish I had gotten the man to the right instead, I could hear him talk through everything with his clients and seemed much more fluent with his motions.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I don't know what their policy is on returning for a fix up but if there's no update to this post then they don't accept it. read more

Excellent place for a haircut! I've come twice now on Fridays and have been helped by both Shige and Amy. I can't speak for the other stylists on other days, but these two were very professional and attentive to my hair needs, and quite fast too. It's affordable in terms of Manhattan rates, and the walk-in wait is typically not longer than 15-20 minutes. They tend to get a flux of people around 4-5pm, so maybe try to beat the evening rush if you want to be helped right away. All in all, I'm very pleased, and I think I found my new spot :-) read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Came here on a Friday for a haircut. Drew Mei who hurried me to her chair.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Had reservations but read the reviews here and thought all of their barbers would be of decent or similar quality. I was wrong. I've never had a worse hair cut. I showed her my previous pictures (6 of them and a video) from a haircut in July and told her exactly what I wanted. She cut it way too short and now I look like I was electrocuted with my hair sticking up all over the place. Even the other barbers there when I asked them if they could try and salvage this said there's nothing they could do and she just cut it too short. Only go to Mei if you wanna get your sh*t cooked. Cherry on top: she was sick and coughing/sniffling all over the place. read more

This is not a place you want to ask for an entirely new hairstyle. At least for girls, I would say if you're looking for a simple trim, this is a good place to go for an affordable cut. I don't think this is an entirely bad thing because if you just really needed a trim, it's a great place to do so. This place is walk in only and you can gauge the wait time based on the time outside. You can put your name down and walk around the area if you need to kill some time. The staff are pretty fast and I was in and out within 30 minutes. read more

I asked for a mid fade and to leave the top. She didn't listen, didn't pin up my hair at all or even attempt to stop cutting before the top. Eventually she went in with thinning shears to the top, she said just a little but it's clearly not just a little... clearly. She wanted to continue and kept persisting to just take a little off the top. Super annoying. At the end I just had her stop entirely. She still hit me with the "in my opinion you should trim just a little on the front". Didn't even get the actual fade lol. So bad. Honestly. I'm pissed. read more

If you live in the neighborhood, I would much rather go here than Dardan's two blocks down. QB's price point, service, cleanliness, time put into the cut, and ability to understand instructions and reference photos beat Dardan's by a landslide. Will definitely continue coming here going forward. read more

Had a great haircut here with Takao at a very reasonable price $25 + tip. They do a great job with Asian hair and actually spend quite a good amount of time on your hair. You can also now book appointments online which is awesome. They take Venmo for tips as well, so if you don't have cash that's fine too! read more

QB House Tokyo Flatiron - Hair Salons Near Me - New York, New York

This salon is super clean and stylish. I love that they only specialize in cuts, so the quality of the cut is what they are focused on. The price can't be beat either. One thing you do have to know is that they do dry cuts, with just misting here and there as needed. Now for my personal experience here: I came in with a super botched haircut and although it was a challenge, Joy was able to revive the remaining hair on my head. I was so pleased with my cut and I will definitely come back in the future! read more

Hi, I love QB House, and I highly recommend it. I usually get a bob and I 'm happy with that. If I asked for a bit of layers in the front I get exactly what I needed. So, give it a try! read more

Love them! Great cuts, done quickly, with friendly service at reasonable price! Wish more locations

I went to QB House a couple of times. The staff is, as expected, pleasant... No doubt about it. Though I believe they are simply not professional hairdressers. It really looks like students having a part time job in order to pay their rent. That would explain the low price. Nothing against the staff of course. Though, how many hours of training they get from the company before starting to work for QB? read more

Wow, what a find! I was passing by and saw a sign for a $30 haircut and was intrigued since I was in need of a haircut. I didn't know anything about QB House Tokyo but it looked clean, all the chairs were occupied and there were a few people waiting so I figured I'd check Yelp for reassurance and then I went in. I'm so glad I did! Most of the other customers were men but there was another woman getting her bob cut. I waited about 10 minutes and then sat in Christine's chair. We chatted for a couple of minutes about what I was looking for and then she got to work. She trimmed 1.5 inches so now it's about shoulder length. As others have noted, QB House only does express cuts so they don't wash your hair. Christine sprayed mine as she went and then dried it so I didn't leave with wet hair but she didn't blow dry it straight, just dry. That was fine with me. I left so happy with my cut. When I went to pay Christine informed me that she was a junior stylist so the cut would be $20 instead for $30. She did a phenomenal job! Thank you, Christine! I'll be back! read more

Quick, clean, and courteous. Such a fan of these haircuts and have never left disappointed! The barber will listen to your suggestions and makes sure you like what you see before you leave. Come in and sign up on their sheet or book online ahead of schedule! read more

Booked an appointment a few days in advanced. Really clean facilities and friendly staff. I had my hair layered, thinned, and cut and it only took about 25 mins. I live very close by so it is convenient. I will definitely come back again in the future. read more

I forget her name, but the lady who cut my hair wasn't listening to me at all. I said to keep it long and don't touch my bangs. She ended up cutting off way too much in the front and gave me the ugliest haircut in my life. I'm crying from how much I hate it. She was rushing so much and I couldn't even stop her from ruining my hair. read more

Wonderful people. $30.00 I got the best haircut since I lost my old barber after lockdown. Tomoko is great!

I always get a great haircut . Everyone is awesome in this salon. Sometimes I have to wait, but no more than 30 minutes. Wort the wait ! Trust me , Edward read more

Got my first haircut in 1.5 years here today! After reading some reviews, I arrived with my hair freshly showered. Three people were getting their haircut simultaneously, but since one was nearly done, I waited a scant five minutes before settling into the chair myself. The salon also has an inconspicuous vacuum tube close to the floor that captures all the swept hair when it's turned on, something I had never seen before! Anyway I explained the kind of cut I wanted, received some suggestions, and then the stylist got to work. Very precise, swift, gentle, and polite. Done and paid within ~15 minutes. Very impressed and can't beat the $25 price! Looking forward to my next visit. read more

I'm growing out my hair, so I wanted a simple trim that wouldn't take too long and wouldn't cost too much. This place ended up being perfect: great price and no frills. I came here on President's Day morning at about 10am. There was no wait and I was seated right away. The hair cutter man was kind and polite. We briefly talked about what I wanted which was just a trim. He added some suggestions like light layers and thinning with shears. I said yes, that sounds good. I should have gotten his name, because he did a great job. He reshaped and cleaned up my outgrown hairstyle, without taking off too much length. I was in and out in about 25 minutes including paying, and taking off and on all of my heavy winter clothes. Ladies, don't hesitate to come here. It is majority men, but he told me that about 30% of customers are women. read more

This was my first visit to this location but since I've gotten great haircuts from QB House Tokyo before, I decided to give it a try. Takahiro did a fantastic job on my hair! I have short hair that was growing out and I left with an adorable pixie cut - exactly what I was looking for! You can't beat the price - the place is clean - and my wait time was minimal today. I'll definitely be back! read more

This is the 2nd time I have had my hair cut at the Flatiron salon. Tomoko is a real artist with hair. My friends all said that this was the best haircut they have seen on me and in the past I have paid five times more in other salons. Very quick wait time without an appt. Very clean salon. read more

There are some things that I am low maintenance about, and hair is one of them. This place is perfect. No frills. No shampooing so that they see exactly what my hair looks like on a daily basis and know what I need, and there's no elaborate hair drying at the end. You can't beat the price for Manhattan. $23 for a cut. read more

I asked for two inches off my long hair. In order to even out the layers the stylist took about 6 inches off even after I asked her not to. The cut is uneven. It was a dry cut- maybe that's why it's imprecise??? Anyway, I don't recommend this place if you have fine wavy hair with curl and want a really balanced cut. Really not happy with the result. I can't wait for it to grow out which will take many months to get my hair back to the style I like. You get what you pay for that's for sure. Vibe was fine. Main problem was that the stylist did what she wanted with my hair not what I asked for. read more
