Sen

Mai is the best stylist I have ever met!!! I really recommend that you guys ask her to arrange your hair! :)

This is the first hair salon I’ve been to since moving to Brooklyn – I have to say it’s one less reason to go in Manhattan!
Sen has a super zen and calm feeling. Everything was clean and the service/​skills were impeccable. I left the chair feeling beautiful with much healthier looking hair. I’ll definitely be returning for my next haircut!

Had a nice experience here. Felt like I was paid attention to which I don’t always feel at my usual place. I had a junior stylist so the price was great! Will definitely return for my next haircut, which is usually when I am well overdue.

Great haircut ! Extremely friendly and very professional .
I went in for Japanese straightening and after evaluating my hair, they actually talked me out of it and recommended I wait until my hair is healthier .
I really appreciate the honesty!

I recently went to this salon to dye my hair. My hair was really damaged because I had used box dye multiple times and my black hair had orange stripes. But they were really attentive and my hair went from a black and orange mess to a really nice pastel silver with blue and green undertones. I recommend that you come here if you want to dye your hair!

Best salon experience ever. Chinami is so nice, patient, and also very talented. I can’t wait to go back– also very reasonably priced for the level of attentiveness. And it’s an inviting and relaxing space. I felt like a new person after leaving.

Walked in feeling and looking 10 years older from work stress. Walked out looking 20 years younger from a great haircut and color. Love my new look. Love my new color. This place is the best. Thank you Chinami, Len, and other staff!!! See you again soon!

Actually I already went this place twice. Owner chinami gets your style right away and also she is aware current trend so that you not going into typical hipster style. I normally tell her minimal things I want (like shorter on side and keep long on top) then she tailor my hair style as bespoke manner with her aesthetic point of view. What I like the most is how my hair grow at a month later. Because of her precision scissor skills, your hair even blend well at the time.
Must mention chinami’s personality, so nice to chat with her or not chat with her. She respect your silence but not feeling uncomfortable. It’s like you styling at your home. I love this place!!!

i first met chinami, the owner of sen and head stylist, when she worked at the salon by my apartment in the east village. even though she’s now set up shop downtown brooklyn, i will still happily make the trek down there just to have her cut my hair.
she is simply wonderful and does great work. i do not have a lot of options with my hair because it is both fine and now thinning, but she always seems to make it work!
she is friendly and professional and a very skilled, artistic stylist. she’s everything you want in a hairdresser, and her shop is very welcoming with a great ambiance.
i give chinami and her new salon Sen my highest of recommendations.

This is first time for my to step out Manhattan for my haircut, Chinami is the only reason! I’ve been her client, friends with her for near 20 years since college. She has a great taste and know the best way to styling me, and her magic haircut made my picky son LOVES her and only want to come here (we live in New Jersey). No matter the color that she picked for me, the haircut she did, or the straighten, she is THE BEST!
The new salon is cute and warm, it representing her personality and I am sure it will make everyone to feel very comfortable to be here. She offers the cutest sweet treat at the end, love it!
If you are picky to find a good hair-​stylist, look no further, this is the place!

I have been a client of Chinami’s for several years at her previous salon in Manhattan and was so excited when she opened her own place in Brooklyn. You could not ask for a better experience at a salon. Sen and Chinami offer a different level of customer service than many New Yorkers (and Americans) are used to– you will never feel rushed, it’s a place to relax and take care of yourself while getting expert style. Not only does Chinami take time to listen to what you want, but she makes sure every detail of your color and/​or cut is perfect and just the way you want it before you leave. I am always happy and relaxed after my color and cut with Chinami. Plus, she is a delightful person!

I’ve been a loyal customer of Chinami’s for over 10 years and happily make the trek from Manhattan to BK to visit her great new salon. She has great style and works wonders with my head full of cowlicks. CHINAMI ROCKS!

After getting turned away at Fox and Jane, I walked by Sen on the way home. What a treat! Chinami helped me decide on a style, gave me a great shampoo and haircut, and offered some sweet treats on my way out the door. I couldn’t have asked for a better haircut experience… so good that I created a Unilocal account just to review her!
DEFINITELY go to Chinami at Sen for your next haircut!

I was walking by and peeped in — it looked like a super cute little salon so I decided to give it a try because I’ve been looking for a new stylist. Chinami did not disappoint! She really listened to all my concerns about my hair and took her time to give me a very nice cut. It was a very relaxed, pleasant atmosphere — you don’t feel rushed and have someone chop your hair in 15 minutes and make you feel overcharged. And lovely tea/​snacks too! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Just got an awesome haircut by Chinami.
She listened and gave suggestions on what would look good.
Took her time and was very attentive.
She is a true professional.
The salon is calming and felt very comfortable. Sipped chamomile tea while getting my hair cut. Was like a little vacation from work.
Do yourself a favor and go see her now!!!

I am so happy this salon opened up in the neighborhood! They were able to accommodate a last minute appointment and Len gave me a fantastic haircut. She listened to what I wanted, offered her advice (which I gladly took) and I walked out with a great bob. She also understood that I was under a time constraint. I would highly recommend! I was so happy with my experience, I brought my daughter a few days later for her first haircut! Len was so sweet and made my daughter feel very comfortable. My daughter loved the experience and her hair looks great. I will definitely be going back!

I don’t even know where to begin. I’ve been going to her over the past few years because Chinami is just wonderful. I have been stopped numerous times by strangers about who styles my hair. She listens and has a great aesthetic eye. I can bring in a picture to show her what I want and she is able to recreate it PERFECTLY every time.
I recently stopped in to get my hair colored/​balayaged for the first time in 13 years and I am so so happy with the results. She even checked in with me to make sure the color settled appropriately.
BONUS: she had the most refreshing beverages and snacks for me to munch on! :D

My husband and I have both been working with Chinami as our stylist for about 15 years, so we’re delighted to be going to her at her own salon now!
We live in Williamsburg, so the trip is quite easy on the G train to the Hoyt Schermerhorn stop. The shop is just a couple blocks from the train, and I think a lot of other subway lines converge in downtown Brooklyn right around there.
The salon is really comfortably laid out, and it feels very inviting. We both like the neighborhood, and even though the shop is on busy Atlantic Ave, once you step down into the space, it is very quiet and relaxing. Nice selection of music, and nicely furnished.
Then there’s Chinami herself – she’s a gifted hair stylist. She’s really good about communicating with us as clients to figure out what we’re looking for, she has a great memory for what we did the last time if we’re looking to repeat it, and she’s also good at keeping us looking up to date. Not necessarily chasing the latest men’s style trends, mind you, but fresh and put together. She’s really good with suggestions, particularly at those times when we’ve been trying for a change and aren’t really sure which way to go.
She’s also got that special «stylist sense» where she knows if you’re feeling chatty that day or if you just need to chill with a magazine or even doze off (! I know, but there’s something about having my head combed that makes me very drowsy. Maybe I’m part dog?). She’s a pleasure to work with.
We look forward to many more years with her in her new location!

Chinami is the best. She has been cutting my hair for years at her previous location. Nice to see her now with her own place. Also she has wine and beverages while you wait.
