It was about that time for my summer chop! My hair was too long and needed a boost of color. Thanks to Google Maps and Yelp, I found Techni. I was looking for a spot that is reasonably priced and has good reviews. I did a walk-in on a Friday ( I know, silly me), but I easily made an appointment for the following Monday. Jason and his assistant did a wonderful job with my cut and color - I LOVE IT. It feels healthy and lighter. Jason took the time to examine my hair and brought out a color palette to ensure I picked the right color. He asked all the right questions and made me feel comfortable. Overall, the staff here is great, and I highly recommend Techni to anyone looking for a good cut, color, and blow-dry. read more

My local friend recommended I get my hair cut here! She goes to the one on 13th, but this was the only one with available same-day appointments. Tim cut my hair and did a wonderful job. He recommend a good bob length for my big head and also told me to not have my hair in ponytails because it's causing the top of my head to have some thinning. The cut was so cute out of the salon and honestly is so easy to style and look good. (I never style or blow out my hair so this is important.) read more

I still go see Tim after all these years. Only guy I let cut my hair. Travis gives one heck of a head massage while washing. And they've got some pretty good playlists to enjoy while hanging out with the crew. read more

I get my haircut from Kenny. I purposely sought out Asian stylists as they are experts on working with Asian hair. This is not to say they don't know how to work with other ethnicities but just speaking from my experience! I have been going to him consistently since 2019. He always does an amazing job for me. I recently came in with long thick messy hair and he gave me the style I wanted (curtain bangs and layers). He took additional time to take some weight off at the end even as his next appointment walked in. When I walked in he was still working on someone else when my appointment time was approaching too but I appreciate his commitment to making sure his clients are truly happy with their hair as opposed to rushing them out. Just a note if you are in a pinch. I will certainly continue to come here and recommend Kenny without hesitation :) read more

Juno is here, so I followed! I met Juno about four years ago when I wanted to chop off my long hair and needed a hairstyle that would be super low maintenance. This was at a different shop. (https://www.yelp.com/biz/tease-group-new-york?osq=tease) I'm horribly lazy and unmotivated when it comes to styling my hair. Long hair was easier for me since I could toss it into a bun or ponytail, or simply let air dry, no styling needed. I had no idea how capable I was of handling short hair until I met Juno! He always gives me cuts that I can handle, which is why I keep coming back to him, even hunting him down each time he changed locations. I went to someone else for a haircut once. Once. It was at a very famous, very well-reputed salon. My hair looked great when I came out, but the look was nothing I could recreate on my own. My hair looked horrible on a day-to-day. I didn't know what else to do other than to come BACK to Juno for him to fix it. Since then, he has been the only person I let touch my hair. As for the shop...LOVE IT! It's bright. It's clean. It's staffed with other awesome stylists! Based on some of the reviews that predate mine, I can see every stylist has their own loyal and grateful customers. read more

Juno is the BEST! Actually the best haircut I've ever had in my life and such a reasonable price point ($70). My hair is super thick and long and I didn't know what kind of cut I wanted. Juno was very knowledgeable on what would make my hair more manageable and give it "movement" (had never heard that term before!). He was also great at choosing a haircut that I'd be able to maintain since I'm a little lazy in styling my hair overall couldn't recommend more and will return when I'm in NYC again. read more

TLDR: 4-5 stars for trims and blowouts (good with curly ethnic hair), 1 star for haircut. So, I've been going to Techni for about 3 years. I had just been going in for trims (once a year) and a blowout. Those times I was always happy with the end product. They did a great job with trimming (never got scissor happy or cut more than necessary) and they have always done an amazing job blowing out my hair (which is not easy since I have thick ethnic curls). (4-5 stars for this) (1 star for this) Then last Thursday I went in since my hair was really long (basically touching my bum long) and I was ready to just let a good stylist do something nice with it. I literally came in with no idea what to do (keep it long or do a whole new shorter style), I was open for any suggestions by the stylist . I even was ready to show a photo of my face (since they can't see it with my mask on) so they could have an idea what to do with my hair to complement it/frame it. I've gone to other salons where stylists are very good at helping you come up with something that works for you/your hair type and they always love having that freedom. Well, not here. When I honestly said that I didn't know what to do and was open to suggestions the stylist asked for a photo of what I wanted. I showed him a photo of my face to help him get an idea how to cut my hair for it, and he was confused. Once I realized that he wasn't going to help me, I said to just trim the dead ends, add some light layers and fix some uneven strands at the front. He ended up cutting the front sides of my hair so short that they did not at all transition nicely or evenly to the back of my hair. I expressed this concern when it was wet and he insisted once he dried it it would look better and he could make adjustments then too. At this point he had already cut off about 3-4 inches of the back of my hair. The blow drying and straightening of my hair was fine but then i could really see how uneven the angle was from the front/side to the back. At that point i was expecting him to make trims to the back because the front was so short in comparison but he kept cutting and angling the front of my hair. I literally had to stop him halfway and just tell him what to do. I couldn't believe that I needed to tell the stylist how to fix my hair. The solution ended up being asking him to just cut more of the back hair which was another 3 inches to better work with the front. I just wanted to be done at this point but the thing that upset me more is that I ended up with a shorter haircut that looks bad! Had I known i was going to lose 6-8 inches of my long mane, I would have just done that from the start and donated that hair as I have done in the past. And come prepared with a photo for a shorter haircut. The hair looked fine when it was straight (which is not how I wear my hair and the stylist knew that). And now that I washed it and can see it as curly hair I've seen how bad the cut is for my hair type. There is no nice angling or framing of my face and instead I have some strands in the front that are the same length and then the rest of my hair that is noticeably longer. No layers, no framing of my face, no consideration for layering to make the curly hair look good. On top of that, the front side strands aren't even the same length from the right to the left. You can see in the attached photos how bad (nonexistent) the angling and layering turned out and how the longer hair isn't even the same length where it should be. I'm so disappointed and now am considering getting a haircut again, elsewhere, to fix this so my hair may even end up shorter.... read more

I've been coming to Jason for about 4 years now (even through a move from the east village over to Williamsburg) and always know that I'm going to have an enjoyable experience while I'm there and be happy when I walk out the door. I also appreciate that the price is very reasonable and the quality is at the highest levels. The attention to detail is also very apparent - this place is a well oiled machine with visible partnership across team members (When Jason is about to start on my color, another team member has already mixed the color based on how we've done it before and once Jason does is magic, another team member knows to swoop in, give an incredible hair wash and head massage and get everything set up for the next phase). I already (and will continue to) tell all my friends about Jason and Techni. read more

I started going to Techni's 13th Street location at the recommendation of my sister. You'll find my review of her stylist and my backup, Vincent, on that yelp page! This new location is small, but it doesn't feel claustrophobic. It's New York, I'm more concerned with how clean an establishment is and Techni staff ensures their places are nothing if not spotless (apart from the hair being cut off of course, but that is swiftly cleaned up after.) Jason has been an awesome stylist since day one. I show him photos just to make sure he understands what I'm going for, but he's extremely attentive and explains everything he can and will do with your hair. Always makes sure you don't get more or less cut off than you want! I've always found it a little hard to tell a stylist when I want more cut off, so Jason going the extra step and asking every so often is very helpful for me. I sincerely recommend him. Strangers have come up asking me where I get my hair cut and now I carry some Techni business cards so I can properly point new people on their direction! This company was started by a group of stylists and it's fairly small, plus affordable! I usually pay about $45, I think last time was $50 because I had a blowout, but you can see all their prices on their websites or just give them a call. Every staff member is very nice and I don't know if I've ever had a more comfortable hair wash at another salon. There's really nothing bad I can say about these guys! The photos attached are two from the day I got it cut and a little over a week later. My hair can be hard to work with, but since getting this cut, it's been so much easier to dry and brush into shape. I haven't used my straightener in a couple weeks! read more

Super nice humans in here. I went in to get my first body wave perm -- but rather than simply take my money (probably $150+ due to the length of my hair), my stylist advised me not to. See, I was under the assumption that I could wake up with beautiful, full, loose curls if I did this type of perm (Google was wrong). I already have semi-wavy hair, and he explained that it'd be the same thing after the perm. I appreciated the honesty. Still got a great cut, and he explained how to best prep my waves if I don't want to apply heat anymore. Thumbs up! read more

They are unable to interpret the hairstyle on the picture I showed them. Length, layers, style, texture, they got them all wrong. The stylist kept trying to tell me that he gave me a similar haircut and I need to "style differently", and he kept failing to style it the way on the picture for me despite him using a straightening iron, a curling iron, and two different hairdryers. At the end he just got irritated and said the picture "looks horrible"!! Hey, if you hate my picture so much you should have told me up front so that I can have someone else cut my hair! Super disappointed, will never return. read more

I was pleased that I was able to get my haircut same day. Although, I didn't follow my gut and I paid the price, with a scorpion guy - which is his birth month; he was pretty cool, seemed like he knew what he was doing but not the best ever. I really like the place itself, but his performance was not as professional. In the result I look like a "mushroom" from the Mario bros. game. I avoid these kind of style and some reason, I attracted it with him.. I showed a picture and as soon he stated he can't promise to make it look like that, I should had run blocks away but I gave benefit of doubt - It is kinda of a bad hair cut- his cut styles are for younger kids. Just not for me. And plus all my curls are officially dead... they say bad hands kills curls. Now I have a choppy like style and this is what happens when you are risk taker with too many people. ‍! Well you live and learn. I am cracking up! read more

I've been going to see Jason at this salon for 3 years now and I will always be faithful. He is so personable and always knows just the right cut for me. I have long thick hair and also an undercut and he makes me feel so beautiful. I never feel rushed and the salon is always clean and has a great vibe. I never wait when I make an appointment. Also-the prices are great! They have 2 locations-one in 11th and one on 13th but they are both great. Jason is at the 11th street location. I could not recommend him enough! read more

Although this area is overflowing with nice hair salons, I chose this place because of their high yelp rating and slightly cheaper price point ($60 for wash and cut as opposed to 80+). I usually head to Chinatown for haircuts but had no qualms paying extra for a nicer experience and end result. Since getting some bad bangs elsewhere and painstakingly growing them out, it's been since my hair has felt cute. Thanks to Kenny for the bouncy, layered cut-- I will be back! read more

I haven't had a haircut in more than four years and came across this salon on a whim by googling "hair salon near me." Didn't read a single review. Feeling really spontaneous and bold today, I guess. Anyway, Juno did a fantastic job! He asked what I was looking for & understood my ramblings (shorter than it is but blunt but soft). He paused & asked me what I thought before cutting off the final inch -- to make sure I was on board with the massive change! Seriously, he probably cut off 10 inches today. My hair looks beautiful & has so much movement and feels so light and bouncy. I feel like a new woman; thank you Juno!!! Also -- these prices are sooo reasonable. read more

UPDATE 2: As always, thank you Jason for a great haircut! This salon has 100% become my go-to. It's so rare to actually find a salon that you can step into and have absolutely no worries that you're in good hands. I highly recommend booking with Jason - he always knows exactly how to cut my hair and is so friendly and conversational! He's always more than willing to make adjustments and make sure you leave looking and feeling your best. Thanks again and see you soon! read more

This place is amazing and the location is perfect. Just a few blocks from the L train. I was thrilled to learn they opened another salon! There's a reason they are apparently so successful. I've been a client of Jason's for over ten years now. He makes the experience seamless, really listens to what you're saying, and gives great suggestions based on your ideas. He's patient, friendly, and very flexible when it comes to scheduling an appointment. The entire staff is incredibly courteous. The moment you walk in, they begin catering to you. From hanging your jacket, offering you water, pulling magazines for you to read....above and beyond with the customer service. That's hard to find these days. Their prices are very reasonable and will make you feel like family after the first visit. What more could you want? I can't say enough about this place. Beautiful decor, great vibe and always organized. You have a customer for life! read more

Don't look any further. This is the best place for your hair and pocket book. I LOVE THIS place. The team is highly professional and very courteous and high level of customer service. I came here for a hair cut and Japanese Hair Straightener. The place I used to go for years closed down. Though I live few blocks away, I never noticed this little gem until I passed by Buffalo Exchange and went in and asked and a spot was available. Even weeks after my do, people are complementing my new look. This never happened before. Don't just go here, RUN to this place. read more

This review is long overdue....this place is incredible. Jason knew exactly what I wanted and nailed it ( even though it was difficult to infer from my vague overhead gestures as I was trying to describe the color I wanted). Easy to make an appointment, very relaxed ambiance and beyond reasonable prices. The stylists are also very straightforward with their clients about the prices - they discuss the cost ahead of time. Beautiful work! Strongly recommended. read more

Iwalked in and got kenny for the cut- he has has a great eye- I brought in a picture about a year ago of a cut I really liked. He worked hard to reproduce the cut and I was quite happy with the results. Thank you, kenny! read more

Been going here for 4 years now. Love it! Hair looks better and betterer, as my barber figures my big head out more. Looking forward to my next visit, hopefully next week. They are all good barbers, so do no worry about your first visit. Enjoy! read more

Jason is very attentive and patient- he really listens to my requests. I have been coming to Techni Salon ever since I moved to NYC 2 years ago and I have always been satisfied with the results. I believe Techni is one of the best salons that does highlights and balayage. The highlights are expertly placed and they are also very well trained at discerning what colors works best on the client. Whenever I had balayage or highlights done at Techni, I get a lot of compliments on my hair. The price is unbeatable and the service is outstanding. Highly recommended! read more

More than one friend recommended I come here as I've been looking for my go-to salon for a long time. Tim was AMAZING. The whole staff was so kind and they are so meticulous. I've gone to a lot of insanely expensive salons and by far this is the best haircut and color treatment I've ever gotten. I'll be going here forever. Also, rarely do I write reviews, but I am just so overjoyed with what a wonderful experience this was that I had to support. read more

I honestly don't know how this salon got five stars. Jason was nice however my bleach job came out at least 3 different colors/ tones. All I wanted was one single shade of blonde. I had go today to another salon, to get this work color corrected. My new stylist showed me that I had some serious chemical burns on my scalp from these people. I will never come back here or recommend this place. Ladies be careful. read more
