Walked in here in a whim on Saturday afternoon. They were busy but they were still able to take me in asap. The lady took her time to wash my hair giving me a head massage. May, cut my hair. She was very nice and pleasant and recommended more to be cut off for a healthier look. I was overall very pleased with my haircut. It looks refreshing and healthy. read more

I've been going to Jun for 2 years now. Very happy with the color and trim. The hair washer takes her time with the wash and scalp/neck massage. Highly recommend. read more

I did my hair again at V One Salon. This time I bleached it 3x and dyed it grey with blue undertone. Manny and Wah Jeh were my hairstylists. They spent 4hrs on my hair and worked as fast as they can because I was in a rush to leave for my sister's wedding. My hair came out a little lighter than the picture I showed them but it turned out very nice. It looked good in pictures and in real life. EVERYONE was complimenting it. Crazy! The color looked a little golden brown even though there was no brown in it at all and I liked the brown. Manny and Wah Jeh worked diligently to make sure that my hair will come out looking good. They cared and I truly appreciate their hard work. Love my new hair color now! read more

I've visited this salon multiple times for haircuts and perms, and it's one of the few places in Chinatown that I trust. The waiting area is small, so it can feel a bit cramped if you're waiting, but they do have a separate seating area for clients currently getting their hair done. The hairwashers are attentive, always checking the water temperature before massaging your hair, and they use quality products that leave a pleasant scent lingering in your hair for a while. I tend to request hairstyles that are a bit challenging, but the hairdresser always understands what I'm looking for. I've noticed some reviews mention that they cut the hair too short, and I can see where they're coming from. Initially, the cut might not seem to match the style I requested, but after a few days to a week, the hair grows out into the style I wanted or even something better that suits my face shape while maintaining a similar style. My experience with perms here has been similar--they always ensure the perm is done correctly without overprocessing. The prices are reasonable, comparable to other salons, though on the higher side for businesses in the area. read more

I've been a loyal customer of Jun for 3 years and I can't recommend her enough. She consistently provides excellent service and has become my go-to hair dresser in the city for a wash, cut, and blow dry. What initially drew me was the affordability of the haircuts compared to other NYC salons but the quality of the service has kept me coming back. The highlight of every visit is the hair wash at the beginning. Usually lasting about 10 min, the wash always cleanses my hair thoroughly while also feeling like a heavenly head message. Apart from her professional expertise, Jun is a sweetheart. Her friendly demeanor creates a warm and welcoming atmosphere, making each visit a delightful experience. For affordable, high-quality hair care with a personal touch, I wholeheartedly recommend booking with Jun! read more

Gary is the best! I trust no one else to thin my hair. My Aunt Debb has been going to him for years and recommended him to me. He is affordable, and regardless of your hair length, he knows what to do! Whether I had long hair or a pixie cut, both times he managed to perfect it. It's challenging to find someone who knows how to thin Asian hair, and mine is particularly thick. Most hairstylists don't know what to do, but Gary is a true expert. read more

Came here for a haircut for the first time and highly would recommend!! Loved the way my hair turned out, haircut was $45 before tip.

I have been coming to see Jun here for a long time and am or sure why it took till today to post what an amazing hair stylist she is. I've done all sorts of crazy things with Jun, Kerstin, bangs, conditioning treatments, Wide stripes, purple highlights, all over purple hair, caramel highlights on brown, you name it I've done it. She is a wonderful stylist and excellent at cutting my hair in a shape that flatters my face. She is also kind and generous and always orders coffee for us when we are there (my friends go here too). You should Def consider going to June's for a quality and affordable hair service and then go for lunch! read more

What a dream! I found this place from Tiktok and I couldn't be more happier! I came for a cut and perm, and the process was so smooth and everyone was so helpful and patient. Look for Gary! He was amazing and so easy to talk to. I don't know about other places prices, but I saved so much more money here compared to where I usually get permed. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! read more

I've been going to Gary at V One Salon for years and he is the only person I trust with cutting my hair. I'm very cautious and picky ( as anyone should ) with haircuts because my hair is super thick and unruly. He is so amazing with getting exactly what I envisioned, I just go and tell him to do the usual. If you have thick hair or want a stunning cut with long layers, he is the one for you. This is long overdue review and I hope he never retire from cutting hair! read more

First and last time coming here. Sam is such a rough person. I've never had a hair stylist wash by hair by rubbing the shower head back and forth ON my forehead. That hurts, by the way. Water kept falling into my eyes. I gave him the benefit of the doubt since he was a stylist, probably doesn't wash a lot of hair. However, there was more pain to come during the cutting process. The scissors kept snagging on my hair every cut he made. Sam also proceeded to trim the first couple of hair on my forehead with a buzzer, now every time I brush my hair there's an annoying fuzz there. Waiting for it to grow out is gonna be a drag. Not to mention I got poked in the eye a couple of times by his fingers. The buzzer kept banging onto my skull as he's buzzing around my head. He dropped the comb and pretended it didn't happen and kept buzzing along, eyeing each cut instead. I feared for my eyebrows every time he came close to them. No, they wouldn't know this review was coming because nobody even bothered to ask how my experience was at the end of it. I have gotten plenty of haircuts in this area and this is by far the worst. Terrible experience... read more

After a couple visits at Jun's salon almost 10 years ago, I decided to get a perm by her. I haven't had a perm for years after a bad experience a long time ago and she did a wonderful job! She also taught me how to care for my perm and I would still get compliments on how nice my curls are months later. I've een going to Jun for all my hair needs ever since and she always takes great care of me. She takes the time to listen to what I want before each visit and provide her rofessional recommendations. I always leave the salon happy with the result. Bonus: I got to play with cute while getting a perm during my last visit. Edit: I asked her if I should try bang and here it is, I love it! read more

I was recommended to go here by a friend's friend for cuts by Jun, a freelance hair stylist. She's very quick, friendly and talented! She gave me my first side shave the first year I moved to New York. I've been back over and over again for moisture treatments and cuts and have been happy with her service! In addition to her, the staff who shampoos are very thorough and scrub and scratch your head until it's actually clean, unlike many very expensive American salons. The quality of the shampoo and cut makes up for the ambiance and tight quarters of the space. Come here for a quick maintenance or new style with Jun! read more

I am rating this based on my one and only experience. Pro : It's easy to make an appointment, they do covid precautions well, good price. Con: Dissapointing result! And that reason alone is enough for a bad review. I showed the stylist (sam) a picture, told him many times that i want face-framing highlight and how i want the color. But the result is not what i wanted. Sam didnt do the highlighting process, he chose the color, explained a bit to a woman who later did it. Barely checked on me. He then told me the price is actually not included blow dry, but he'd include it this time. Really, so you're telling me some consumers left salon in a wet hair? Once the whole process is done. Nope. I knew right away i don't really like it. Barely can see the face-framing highlight! He seemed to not understand what face-framing is. Quite ironic how i know a salon terms and he, as the salon stylist, has no clue. Told him many times, "I don't really like it." But he kept replying, "it's good, it's good." Annoying. Him and the woman waited by the front door, obviously for tips, regardless how dissapointed i am with the result. Okay sam, if money all you care about, money is all you got. No reputation for you. So here is the tips folks, try not to choose Sam. Go for other stylists that had been praised in other reviews. My mistake was saying, "any stylist is ok". To make it worse, my friend told me I look like doing the highlight myself. read more

**GREAT HAIR CUT AND BLOW DRY IN NYC** CASH ONLY, so go to your ATM before hitting this salon. Easy-to-navigate location in Chinatown. Made my appointment before my trip to NYC. Requested Kenny. Excellent hair cut. Beautiful blow dry that lasted 3 days. Total was $35 with a $10 tip. Gave them $60. The receptionist gave me back $5, not my $15. Didn't realize this until I returned to the hotel. So COUNT YOUR MONEY before you leave. I don't care about the money, I care about the principal. And getting ripped off sucks donkey balls. read more

Omg awful! The hair stylist Manny cut my hair so short. I kept telling him the length I want and how I part my hair (because he didn't part it correctly) and he insisted that I trust him; literally saying "trust me".... I really wished I didn't come here because I left with disappointment. The receptionist was also super rude and forced me to tip at the end even though I hated my hair. The atmosphere was very chaotic and they were very rough on the hair. Please find a good place to get your haircuts done!!!! read more

After reading all these great reviews about Kenny, I decided to make an appointment last minute. They were able to put me in for sat at 4pm which was great! Kenny was very nice and although he didn't really talk much (to me or in general), he did a great job! He gave me exactly what I wanted all within 2.5 hours. I asked for ash brown balayage and a trim for my dark black hair. He made suggestions and even gave me some layers. I got so many compliments after I left the salon. On a side note: I do wish they offer WiFi in the salon as I had no service in there. I literally stared at the mirror for 2.5 hours bc I couldn't even send texts out. Haha FYI: He's off Sunday and Monday. Ask for Kenny if you go any other day! read more

More of a 4.5 stars. Came in on a Friday afternoon for a walk-in appointment. Didn't care who worked on my hair, so I am excited to introduce to everyone Ray and Maggie. Maggie was the one who dyed and washed my hair. The color turned out fantastic, but the service was a bit rough. The place was packed when I arrived and I could tell she was under a lot of pressure. We barely spoke at first. I told her my Chinese wasn't good. I could feel my hair get tugged as she tried to rush. My head felt like it was on an assembly line, and her patience was thinning by the minute. I hear her comment in Cantonese that I had too much hair. It was a battle she couldn't win. I finally asked her about the salon and herself in English. She cheerfully opened up and we chatted away as her grip on my hair finally eased. Overall, I would say Maggie did a wonderful job. The color was even all around and after a couple of washes, the red is slightly less vibrant, but that's expected. Plus, I am just rocking the red hair. (For those looking for an awesome and affordable shampoo and conditioner for colored hair, I recommend the SheaMoisture Jamaican Black Castor Oil line.) After Maggie washed my hair, Ray immediately began working on my hair. I requested to have my bangs trimmed and my hair cut 3 inches with layers and he did just that. He was also very rough on my hair, not giving special attention to a couple of tangles in my hair from the wash. He kind of just plowed through the knots, probably pulling out a couple of strands of hair each time (sigh). Overall, I was satisfied with my cut. To be fair, I'm not very picky about my hairstyle. As long as I have bangs that look cute, I'm happy. Cut + color was $110 before tax and tip. Would I recommend V One? Definitely. Has V One won me their undying loyalty? Not really. I would definitely go back to V One if I'm in the area, but it's not enough for me to make a trip out just for them (which is what I was hoping V One would be; I'm really tired of searching for a go-to hair salon). read more

I've been here several times and each experience was phenomenal. I followed Kenny from MTS (wish he hadn't gotten so popular bc I have to make an appt now...) and he seems much happier here! He knows what's best for your hair and will probably make it the best you've ever seen. He also takes your requests into consideration. Everyone who works here is super nice. Another plus is a nice, clean bathroom for all those who have squirrel-sized bladders like me! I noticed no one has posted the price list yet so I snapped one :) 1.10.18: went back to Kenny for balayage highlights. Miki (sp?) helped with the lower half. Awesome job in 2.5 hours start to finish! Price was $155 ($35 wash/cut/dry, 85 balayage no base color; 35 toner). Tipped 20%. It's a little more gray in non-salon lighting so I may go back for the free touch up if it doesn't change in a week but overall very pleased! read more

Got my hair cut/ombre/balayaged by Kenny. Due to a miscommunication issue between us that was my fault, my hair did not turn out the way I wanted it the first time. However Kenny was generous and kind enough and spent the time to make my hair exactly how I wanted it. And the results were amazing! I wanted an ombre look with ash brown/greyish tones. I didn't want any sort of red/yellow tones in my hair. I absolutely loved the results and my hair still looks amazing after 4 months! My hair is slightly bronzey, but it isn't so bad after 4 months. Also the cut that he gave me was exactly what I wanted!!! Would definitely recommend Kenny for balayage/ombre!!! Also not only is he an amazing hair stylist but his attitude and customer service was superb!! read more

Got my hair cut by Sam at V One Salon after being referred by a friend, and he blessed me with the cleanest fade, it was so perfectly blended! He also cleaned up all my lines along the temple area, and my forehead as well which was new for me but it actually makes such a big difference! He did a good job cutting the hair on top too, and layers really well. This is my third time getting my hair cut by him and he has been very consistent and really takes his time to get it right. Highly recommend! (The hair washing ladies here also give the best head massages when they're washing your hair!) read more

V One Salon - Haircut by Sam - Hair Salons Near Me - New York, New York

i requested no bleach and i understood that the hair color i wanted (strawberry blonde) would not be around the same color maybe darker and i was okay with that however, still they decided to go ahead and bleach my hair. full on IGNORING my demand. the color i ended up with was not at all remotely similar to the color i requested. i spent a lot of money (around $400) for my hair to end up fried, dark and full on COPPER. i understand a stylist may know what is best but if i am willing to take the risk and not get the perfect result i am okay with that. i was NOT okay with them ignoring my requests and doing whatever they pleased. i'm upset with how ignorant and blind they were. they say that customer satisfaction is VERY important but i walked out disappointed and feeling disregarded. if you decide to come here i hope you are strong enough to enforce what YOU want and NOT what THEY want. read more

They (Manny) did an amazing job! I had gotten red highlights. I just showed a picture how I wanted it and they knew immediately what to do and sat me down.

I got a lot of happy feedback from the surrounding employees saying i was beautiful and it really is good. Highly recommend! read more

My boyfriend comes here more than twice and every time it seems like there were different stylists doing his haircut. But the quality of the haircut is not the style he wants most of the time. He wanted to trim a bit on the top and cut a little bit more on the side. The problem: 1. One time they cut the hair way too short on the side and the top even though my boyfriend showed them the picture of what kind of haircut he wants. 2. Yesterday he went here and showed the exact same photo, and he ended up having both side shaved almost like bald, and did nothing on the top! I would say 80% of the time when he came here for a haircut the results were pretty unsatisfying. He only comes here because the price is low and there's no time finding a new salon. If you are a person who are particular about your hair, avoid this place because very likely you won't be getting the results you want. read more

I got an EXCELLENT haircut from Gary! He is an artist and I'm so lucky I got him when I walked in. I highly recommend this gem of a salon!

BEWARE. Do yourselves a favor and find a hair salon that doesn't rip you off and genuinely care about their customers. I decided to give this hair salon a try and came here a few days ago to get my haircut and color done. Since I was on vacation in New York and my hair was getting long, I was desperate to get a haircut. I chose this place due to what seemed to be good reviews on Yelp. From beginning to end, my experience was terrible. Everything from dying to cutting my hair was rushed, hence the horrible results. The results looked absolutely nothing like the color I chose. They also failed to properly layer my hair. A price was agreed upon before they started to cut and dye my hair. At checkout I was shown a different price. I asked about this and the lady at the counter had no clue why. At this time I was already pissed off at their customer service and them ruining my hair. She asks her colleagues that helped me, comes back to tell me the $30 difference was for the hair wash. If you compare that to my $32 haircut, that makes completely no sense. They pulled that out of their rear ends. read more

ONE STAR FOR SAM!!! BEWARE FOR A COLORING JOB!!! SAVE YOURSELF AND YOUR BEAUTIFUL HAIR GURLFREND!!!! I used to come here for Kenny (who is amazing), but they told me to try someone else while he's on an "extended vacation" They gave me SAM. I showed him my Pinterest inspiration photo of an Ash brown balayage with grayish tones. As he was drying my hair, I was horrified and saw how bad it really was. It was a brassy orange on top, green and gray in the middle, and blonde at the tips. It was splotchy, uneven and not blended well. I wanted to cry. I asked if I can come back another day to fix it since it's uneven and not the desired look. (Not even close) He proceeded to tell me "that's how your hair took color, that's just how it is". I told him it's not just about the color, it's uneven and I should not see bleach streaks at the top of my head. He was dismissive, and brushed off my complaints and said things like "I've been doing this for years", "we gave you a very good price", "it's your hair that takes color this way"... THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE and I've had plenty of beautiful balayage colorings done. I was so upset I didn't know what to do so I left because he was not willing to do anything to correct this. On my way out, one of the hair washing ladies said to me "maybe you can try purple shampoo..." So I have to fix your mistake??? It was so rude and unprofessional... I don't wish this grief on anyone. Salons make mistakes, and what they're supposed to do is fix it. What horrible customer service!!!! This will be my last time coming here as a frequent customer. I went to another salon the next day to fix it and all they had to do was toner. This was not offered by Sam, a seemingly simple fix. I was only given a huffy, defensive attitude. This place has gone DOWNHILL. I think they're lying about Kenny being away on vacation after reading other older reviews. Do not make the mistake of coming here for a color job. I look like I have a sad rainbow on my head with a flame at the top. Thank god for the wizard at New Light in Brooklyn who was able to fix this at only $65 for toner. My hair now looks exactly like the Pinterest photo. And Sam, who "has been doing this for many years" didn't know how to fix it... lesson learned.. NEVER AGAIN WILL HE LAY HANDS ON MY HAIR. See my beautiful hair on the Yelp of New Light Hair Salon in Brooklyn, New York. read more

I've gone here twice. First time to touch up my colored hair... their touch up was horrible.... when the process was done I can still see my previously old colored out, faded bleach hair. I'm no hair prof but I know a 30 min dye isnt Shit. When the process was done they dare to charge me $130 + 20 tip = $150... for a trim and a touched up to my hair. Second time I was thinking... you know what things will get better... I'm just coming in for a trim this time. I went with my friend. She got placed with this guy called Kenny first. A few mins I've also got seated. My hair stylist was a bit young... too young. He ask what I wanted. I said a trim... and a trim he gave me... it took 2 min (I am not exaggerating) and he was done.... DONE THATS IT. I was so piss... he seems like he belongs to one of the people who washes you hair. I was walking towards the counter realizing my friend was still "trimming her hair" they charged me $35... I DIDNT EVEN WASH OR SHAMPOO MY HAIR OVER THERE... I sat for another 10 min waiting for my friend to be done. Her shit was also $35... in never coming back here ever. Prices are a rip off. And my hair looks like shit after the trim still... ****here is a picture of my hair... pay no attention to the dryness that is totally my fault... but look at my "trim" fk is this! My mom can do this for me and still have a better trim.... read more

V One Salon - I'm mean what kind of screw up dye job is this and the cut is horrible too - Hair Salons Near Me - New York, New York

I can honestly say all of their tenured stylists are great at what they do. Their style and way of doing things might be different but you will always walk out feeling like a queen (or king). It's a no frills kind of place. If you're there for just a cut, you're sent to a wash then off to a cut. There's no champagne and caviar, but mark my words you will come out looking more beautiful than a celebrity after photoshop. I actually love Kenny. He's my go to guy. Unfortunately he is on an extended vacation and I was in desperate need of a cut. My hair was breaking often because it was so long and I was ready to shed the rest of my damaged by color hair. So.. I got Sam. The day after edit: I am horrified after I washed my hair at home that my hair looks like one of a cheap whore. I have flyaways all over my head. My hair looks thin and weak. He didn't ask me for my opinion and just started cutting. He did long layers which is something I didn't ask for. I just expected it all to be the same length as a basic, but I normally get short layers if any at all and only in the front. The only thing he said to me was "how long do you want it?" Now my hair looks disgusting. I don't fucking have time to flat iron my hair every day or to style it. Pissed does not describe how I feel about my hair. There's no point in going back because how is he going to give me back my hair that he already fucking cut off? He should stick to cutting men's hair or the hair of the women in the 90s. Can I cry now? I feel like I have no hair which took a year and a half to grow out. He also kept pulling my wet hair which is obviously going to snap some hairs. I have fine hair and it was so painful. Oh the kicker is that I can't even fully tie my hair. Bits of it fall out because GUESS WHAT? they're too short to be tied. My hair was originally down to my lower back just to put it into perspective. I told him I wanted 2.5-3 inches off. read more

CASH ONLY establishment... Remember that they expect you the tip your stylistic AND staff who washes your hair. These are 2 different individuals. I came here on a Saturday to get my hair cut done. Given that there were tons of hair cut places in the Manhattan area, I decided to give this place a try. They have staff there who can speak Mandarin and English. For those who cannot speak mandarin, you can still come here. As for pricing, a normal haircut for males starts at $25. This includes cut and wash. I had Suzie cut my hair. She was very nice and enthusiastic. Funny at times. She made the experience very good. Her workstation is near towards the front of the building. Also, if you come here with a stylistic in mind, be sure to know that they charge $10 MORE if you have a stylist preference. I think this is a bit strange, but then again they want all their stylists to have work rather than having favorites in some. As noted earlier, this is a CASH only establishment. You are expected to tip your stylist and the staff who washes your hair. Definitely give this place a try. I'm sure you can find another barbershop nearby that is a bit cheaper. However, this place is great for those who need a quick cut for a reasonable price. read more

I made an appointment yesterday and immediately was sat down upon arrival, super friendly staff. Waited 5 hours for this bad boy but results are amazing. Kenny and his assistant (Maggie? Mickey?) were very thorough and kept making sure my hair was in good condition and that I was comfortable (if I needed water, etc) constantly, even though they were taking care of different clients. Hair color looks diff in various lightings! Price is super affordable (compared to other salons) and the results are super!! definitely will come back read more
