Infore

I came here about a week ago (before Memorial Day) to get my hair cut and colored. My friend had just had her hair colored here and had such a great experience. She recommended this salon to me and came along with me as well. She helped act as my translator for some things that were more difficult, which I think really helped to improve my experience, but my stylist (Danny) also spoke English to me at times and it probably wouldn’t have been a problem.
I came in wanting to get my hair colored red again but since my previous color was still in my hair, Danny said that it wasn’t a good idea. When I asked him what I should do instead, he recommended a copper brown color and I just decided to go for it! This was my first time doing a full color and I was pretty nervous but Danny and his assistant were super nice. Definitely seemed to know what they were doing and even though I knew it was close to closing time, they were extremely meticulous making sure that the color was distributed throughout my hair. He even put a lighter color in the parts of my hair where the previous color was still there so that it would show up better. I’m pretty happy with the color! It actually was more red than I expected but I didn’t mind. In fact, I think I like it more than what I had originally wanted. I waited a week to write this review so that I could wash my hair and see if the color stayed in (the last time I got a partial color, it washed out in the first wash) and it doesn’t look different! The cut was okay but honestly I just needed my hair shorter and hadn’t even thought about what I wanted before going in. Will definitely come back to get my hair done again!

Danny is the best! I always go to him. I have used other stylists in the past when Danny wasn’t available but I really think Danny knows what he’s doing especially when it comes to hair color too. He’s reliable and also very friendly. Have been coming here for a while now and I’m a happy camper. The service is always good which is incredibly important to me.

First time customer: The hair stylist (Siha) knew exactly what I needed as I have thin, and much less volume than normal people. She was very meticulous about what my hair needed to be and recommend that having perm would fit much better. Definitely come again next time and highly recommend for all men.

I had a hair cut+touch up here. The hairstylist, Vicky was very nice and provided me good advices! I also enjoyed the environment, which was bright and comfy. The price was acceptable$ 120 in total, excluding tips!

This is my go to salon. The staff isn’t always super fluent in English, but they try really hard to make your experience a pleasant one. The front desk staff are polite. I would highly recommend you call for an appointment (even on the day of). Most haircuts take an hour (they are really attentive) and you don’t want to be waiting that long if they are all booked. The salon is extremely spacious and contemporary looking. You’re always greeted warmly upon entering. You are asked to lock up your purse or clothes in their locker before getting your hair washed. I have to say that’s my favorite part! I love the head massages. I always have Danny cut my hair. He never disappoints. He asks me what I want but often recommends what he thinks would be better, to match my face, etc. I have never had a bad experience here. Highly recommend.

I went to get my hair dyed blonde 2 weeks ago. Danny was my stylist and he said my hair would be almost impossible to be blonde cus I had a lot of red/​orange in my hair. But he said after we bleach it we can decide how light we can go from there. So after bleaching my hair we decided to go with a light brown. After he washed the dye out of my hair he said it’s very ashy cus he used too much blue to cancel out of redness in my hair. But when they dried my hair it looked like light brown with a hint of green? He said if I took care of my hair really well with treatment it’ll stay this color.
After the first wash all the dye came out. My hair was bright yellowish-​green-​gold. !!! And super brassy. But I was going away for a trip so I couldn’t go back and fix it right away.
Today I went back to fix my hair and they said its suppose to wash out. I told them it washed out after the first wash and they said well you came after 2 weeks, the color usually stays for only 2 weeks. But why didn’t you tell me that 2 weeks ago instead of telling me that the color would stay with good care? After trying to negotiate something to fix the color he said he can tone it for free. But he had to go ask the owner but he said no he has to charge cus I can keep coming back to ‘fix’ my hair.
So no thanks I’ll rather go somewhere else to fix my hair or even dye it at home myself
When I did my hair last week he said he’ll charge me $ 120 for bleach and $ 120 for dye but when he checked the details of the bill it was actually
Bleach — $ 100
Dye — $ 140

I went to get a perm with my friend and noticed the chic décor when I stepped in. Their customer service is great. Everyone is smiling and they’re very friendly and attentive. I love the little drink menu they have by the mirrors. Most places I’ve been to only offer hot coffee or tea if that, but this place has a set of menu from iced coffee to all sorts of different tea options. Their waiting area is extremely clean with good magazines. My perm came out great and I have no complaints!

My appointment was at 10am on a Friday. The salon wasn’t busy so even without an appointment I’m sure I wouldn’t have waited long anyway. I was greeted with a warm welcome and met with Sarah and her assistant.
My requests were pretty simple: jet black color and a hair cut, about 2 – 3 inches off. My hair is thin and was a mix of black and brown so achieving the jet black shade was an easy task. The whole process took approximately 2 hours. I’m not Korean but there was no language barrier because the staff spoke English. Sarah is a sweetheart! She offered me a beverage although I politely declined. She was very thorough with her work, she listened to my requests and gave me exactly what I wanted! Her assistant was also nice however we exchanged very few words. My color and cut came to a total of $ 155 (before tips) and it was well worth it. The salon is also nicely decorated! Thank you Sarah and Infore for a good experience! I’ll be back =)

I wouldn’t get a perm from this place. I’ve had many perms in the past but my hair now looks like it has gone through a crimping iron instead of having curls. Going to go back today to see if they can smooth things out and will update.
UPDATE
Staff were very nice and even called me right after I posted this to offer to fix my hair. The manager and everyone was very sweet. They repermed my hair to more of a c curl. Since my hair is now permed twice its more damaged and a bit harder to manage but now I’m no longer ashamed to walk outside lol I really appreciate that they let me walk in and spent hours more on me until I was satisfied. Their customer service is top notch. I would def come back to try their other services such as permanent straightening later on when my hair recovers :)

Seriously overdue update, but I really have to point out how impressed I am with Infore’s improvements in service. After my previous visit, I really feel that they took my criticisms to better customer experience. Danny was my stylist and I am so honored to have met him. He gave me such great hair advice, in terms of how to take care of it and making it look more voluminous (since it tends to fall pretty flat). I am so glad that I trusted him with my hair because it’s been about 3 months since my visit and my hair is still super soft and the color is blending in well. I want to keep this short, since it is just an update, but I have to state the obvious that Infore is a bit out of the way from everything in NYC. Once you take the train to flushing, you additionally have to take a bus or walk to the salon, however it is completely worth it. I am so glad that I can count on Infore to help me with any hair trouble. Thank you so much for taking my review to mind!

I actually got my hair done couple days ago and wanted to wait to write a review because I’ve noticed that hair right after being in the salon is very different from hair after few days… But not here.
I went in for a consultation. I had curly hair recently permed that I just couldn’t seem to manage because it was constantly curling out in the back. I met Vicky who suggested that I get Japanese straightening to get the perm out. Even though my hair is super damaged, Vicky and her assistant (didn’t catch her name) took their time to really minimize any more damage. My hair is now straight and much more tameable. I also got a straight bang cut and Vicky really did a great job in that she did not shy away from what she thought would look good. For some reason all previous hair stylists were really hesitant to cut my bangs if I asked for straight bangs and left me with something that looked half done. Vicky just went ahead and chopped away because she believed that straight bangs look better on my face shape if it’s heavy and thick… Which she was completely right. She gave me the look I want and I am so thankful.
This place was definitely MUCH cheaper than my previous salon. I paid 200 dollars for everything. I will be back in few weeks to dye my hair. I loved my previous salon… But I think I’m going to have to let it go for something newer and better.

Highly recommend.
I’m satisfied my hair, after I washed my hair. I did Keratin Treatment, which is my hair stylist recommended. Oh… I didn’t ask her name. Cause my hair is too much damaged and dry. I have the natural curly hair. However, after I did Keratin Treatment, it is really straight, soft and good quality. I’m happy that I don’t need to worry about my curly hair. I always did Japenese straightening at Taiwan. And it’s my first time to try another treatment, it’s really great! Timing is shorter than Japenese straightening. It took about 4 – 4.5 hours. The hair stylist communicated with me and discussed!!! Thank you:):)

Found this place on Unilocal (thanks Unilocalers), and made a weekday afternoon appointment for 3. I found out I’d be late and moved it to 3:30 with no problem, but still had to wait 15 minutes once I got there — not a big deal though. I’m Korean, but the receptionists were both good at English, so don’t worry about language barriers. Also, they noted that Tuesdays and Wednesdays are usually their more lax days, and other days they’re usually packed.
I didn’t have a preference for my stylist, but she was a young, nice lady that I don’t remember the name of unfortunately. Her assistant was this young guy who was also really friendly. They gave me tea and pound cake and chatted with me the entire time — my hair took a bit longer than 2 hours.
I showed her a picture and she told me what kind of perm she would do and then how much it would cost. I opted for treatment which was +20 and the perm was $ 180 (I have short hair so that’s the starting price, and it’s more expensive with longer hair). It was called a («Yeol») perm.
It seems a little pricey but their service was fantastic and she also told me if the perm came undone within a week or so, I could return and get it fixed for free. So that’s a real big plus. Also, because of the holiday season, I got 15% off so it was cheaper than the price she had originally told me.
I like the way it came out, although it’s a little different from the picture I showed. But all in all, I’d trust their judgement.
If I remember, I’ll add another post in the future about how the perm held up after time.
Long story short: Great hair cut with REALLY good service. Ditching all my previous hair places for this one.

I’ve been coming here for about 2years now and I am always happy with my result and experience I had here.
Prior to my visit, I always browse the the internet to find the best matching hair pics to show my stylist because it really helps explaining what hairstyle I want to get done. I have few reasons why I love my hairstylist BJ. he is very talented professional with patience. He takes enough time to discuss about the style I want to do, that really makes me feel reliable and as a result it end up being 100% satisfied.
All the staff members are very friendly here. I enjoy the beverages and cookies they serve here!!!
Personally I think the price is reasonable.
also it is so convenient that they have their own parking space right in front because its usually hard to street park in flushing.
Ask for BJ for a hair cut or perm if you are planing on going in the future.

Came here on a whim. I have been bouncing around some salons for about 2 years after my hair stylist went back to his home country. Boy am I happy I found this place. Let me first start of by saying when they book appt’s they are on point. They allot the right amount of time for each customer so there is basically no wait. This place also makes you feel like your going to a spa and that each customer is spectacular. I came her the first time and had Sylvia, as great as she was there was a language barrier as she did not speak english much. Telling her exactly what i wanted was very complex, but overall haircut came out fine. Came here a 2^nd time last week and got a cut from Danny. He did an amazing job, will definitely make him my go to guy. Very pleasant and understood what i wanted.
Thank you for making this place my go to hair salon.
Oh by the way did i mention a cut is only $ 35, I have long hair and had about 3 to 3.5 inches cut off. Price is amazing and also parking is not that hard to find.

I try to steer clear away from Korean hair salons because they tend to upsell everything, and cut/​style my hair a totally different way than I’ve originally asked them to. But I was seriously in need of getting my bushy bangs cut cause it was driving me up the wazoo.
I’ve been to salons where they used machines to perm my hair and whenever they’ve used machines, my perm would last about two weeks max. It would also cost an arm and a leg for such a shit job. So, when I found out that my stylist (BJ) used rollers instead… I let out a big sigh of relief. He was perfect, gentle and very accommodating. I barely felt his hands on my head. And he always made sure I wasn’t uncomfortable.
He told me why he was cutting my bangs in such a way, and suggested on what I could do to achieve my ultimate look.
I’m so happy that I found someone that I can trust with my haircuts/​perms/​bangs! BJ is the man!

I’ve been going to BJ for a few years now and he never ceases to amaze me! As long as you’re descriptive of what you want, he can pretty much cater to your wants! I’ve never been upset with a haircut or color treatment and I’ll continue to trust him with my hair. During the consultation, he will give you suggestions and describe the whole process that will be going on for your desired look. His assistant, Sarah, was also very helpful throughout the procedure and for those having language barrier issues– she’s fluent in English! BJ knows how to make a haircut suit you and your lifestyle!

I had a really good first experience at «Infore» 2-​weeks ago with stylist, Danny. He took the time to give me a really thorough consult and together, we were able to figure out what would be work best for me. I went with a copper tone for my hair and a layered cut to shape my face. The result came out super nice and I’ve been receiving daily compliments on my cut and color.
After the consult, if you were to color your hair, you are led into the coloring room where stylist and his assistant work on your color. While waiting for the color to sink in, I was offered something to drink (hot/​cold coffee or tea of your choice) and a pillow to place my magazine on. The coloring process was a bit longer than I expected but I appreciated the effort in making me as comfortable as possible.
The only thing that I didn’t love about the service was the lack of communication during the process. Again, the consultation in the beginning was great and the stylist did take time to explain how to achieve the look I wanted afterwards. However, during the process, there was very little explanation or reassurance that everything is ok. For example, multiple people came to check on my color, which took over 45 minutes, but no one said anything to me after they checked the color. The staff tends to speak to each other in Korean a lot and since I’m not Korean, it left me questioning a lot about what’s going on.
Either way, I’m excited to try it again. Hopefully, communication will improve next time.

This is about a month late, but let me try to remember everything.
Came here for an asymmetrical bob and perm. My perm came out really nicely and the stylists were very helpful when it came to teach me about styling my hair at home.
Only thing is, I was charged about 100 more than last time ($ 250 in total, including haircut, conditioning treatment and perm), even though last time my hair was twice as long. Part of me chalked it up to the Back-​To-​School sale they were having last time I came, but it’s still pretty steep. However, I’m not taking a star off for that because other places charge 250 to begin with, and they aren’t nearly as clean, professional, and courteous.
Will still be coming here for my chemical hair needs, but if they raise the price any higher, I don’t know if I’ll have to find someplace new.

I usually cut my hair once (sometimes twice if it gets too long) a year. When I went for the first time last year, I didn’t make reservations and went in on a Saturday afternoon, waited for 5 – 10 mins, before a stylist was available. Ironically, the stylist name was Alice as well; she was professional and courteous.
This year, I decided to make reservation, just in case, cause I did see this place get crowded. This time my hairstylist was Sylvia. A lot more talkative in Korean (I didn’t mind!), but still professional. I did ask for bangs and layers, but my Korean words are limited to that of a kindergartener. However, I loved how Sylvia layered my hair. So, no complaint on not giving me bangs.
I took a star out cause of the secretary at the front and that this salon raised their price to $ 35 ($ 36, if you pay with credit)!! The secretary had an attitude and I felt like I was being judge when I said I only had cash to tip my hairstylist. Also, I came to flushing to cut my hair because it’s too expensive in the city. So, not a fan that they’re raising the price.
Verdict: depending on whether they raise their price again in a few months or next year, I’ll probably go back once more
