Salon 84

It looks like I just had the exact same experience as others on this thread. I came back because I loved my highlights the first time with Jairo. I called to make my second appt and stated I wanted the same thing as last time but the receptionist said they changed the system and she didnt have that on file anymore – so, I tell her okay, I would like highlights (like I had before). Last time I paid around $ 200. I go to the counter and it was a whopping $ 458 + tip! I was so upset I couldnt talk so I went home and emailed the owner… he basically said I should have read the price list & it was my responsibility to know that a baylage (whatever that is) costs more and that they’re an «upscale» salon (ok this isnt the upper east side and you have bars on the windows) blah blah. I am basically a blonde now – did not receive highlights –and Jairo mentioned before I left if I want to come back for more highlights (bc he noticed I in fact was all over blonde rather than highlights) that he would do it. After that price and screw up I will not be back and wanted a partial refund in exchange of more highlights, but the owner, Joe, was not havin’ it. So, I paid an extra $ 200 for blonde hair. Jairo was nice but I wish I kept my tip. DO NOT GET SCAMMED! Do not go!

Bait and Switch
2 previous visits within the past year, ½ head highlights and cut, charged $ 132 & $ 154. Yesterday they charged me over $ 230 for the same exact service! Their response, «those are the prices». They said I should have saw the prices that were posted. I guess I shouldn’t have relied on my past experience. They could not explain why I was charged so little in the past. It’s a shame because they seem nice there. Hiram, who took care of me was a sweetheart.
I guess I’ll leave it in the hands of American Express.

I scheduled an appointment here, and only upon arriving at the door in the pouring rain did the woman — I assume manager or owner — said they couldn’t take me. Both stylists weren’t in. Insincere apology and no incentive to come back.

Love this place! My highlights and blow out are fabulous

I finally found a place when I can go for the rest of my life. My hair stylist Tina is the most professional and creative coiffeur. I don’t even explain to her what I need to be done to my hair. She is always up to date. On the other side the place is very schick, contemporary modern classic style. The staff I extremely friendly. They meet you at the front whit smile and you leave smiling. Defiantly recommend the place !!!

After living 3 years in the neighborhood, I finally found my pearl! BEST haircut since I moved here. Joseph is my new go to miracle worker! Amazing haircut, tons of compliments and a great price compared to everyone else I’ve tried. Very relaxed, comfortable, unpretentious atmosphere.

Just got my hair highlighted + cut by my go-​to, Joe and I’m never disappointed! The atmosphere here is so welcoming and both Joe n Joseph leave me laughing btw their bantering. Everyone @ K’s is attentive and has a smile. I’m now set for the summer w beautiful coloring and the cut I got has left me with a light bounce.

This salon makes you feel at home! My hairstylist Mariko is great! She gives me perfect blowdry! Her makeup talent is amazing. I love coming here! Joe and Joseph are amazing 2! The assistant (I can’t remember his name) is very friendly and is very in tuned with what your hair needs! He gave me a beautiful blowdry. Overall this is a beautiful place with a friendly vibe. It has a neighborhood feel but if you stop by for a visit you will not be disappointed!

the rudest people ever!!! worst haircut for the price!!!
do not go!

I will never go back to this salon. I had high expectations because of Unilocal review, but was completely betrayed. The person who washed my long hair left it so wet, which completely made my shirt wet. Joe who cut my hair dropped his scissors a few times while trimming my hair. His trimming was so rough and incomplete and his hair blow was too much that my healthy hair turned all damaged. The tip of my hair had become split and broke off for the following week. I tried many different places but never had such a bad experience.

!0 stars !!!
Loved everything about K’s. It was my first time and I had a fantastic experience.
The atmosphere is the perfect mix; great friendly staff, beautiful comfy space… just felt like I was at my good friends beautiful house (who happen to be professional hair stylist).
Joe really «got» what I wanted and needed with my cut/​color, I felt relaxed and enjoyed the whole experience.

I’ve been getting my hair cut at K’s for more than 3 years now, and I just wanted to put in a word for how wonderful they are. It’s the friendliest, most pleasant salon I’ve ever been to — relaxed and elegant at the same time — and they do a phenomenal job with hair! I went to Kaye until she moved back to Australia, and today Joseph did a great job with my hair. I no longer live nearby, but based on not-​so-​great experiences I had before I found K’s, and some horrid Unilocal reviews of other salons that are more convenient, it’s worth coming back to the UWS and paying a little bit extra. I always look and feel great when I walk out!

Cute, friendly place with talented stylists. Friendly owner, tea/​coffee and laughs abound! You feel good being here because the staff get along and are like a family.
In particular, for those of you with very thick and straight Asian hair, I would highly recommend Mariko Miyagi. When i moved back to NYC after college, i had many disastrous results with hairstylists across the city, which ended when i found Mariko!
I have been seeing her for 8 years or so now, have followed her loyally, and she truly understands my hair. She is super talented, super sweet, and can offer helpful suggestions on your hair cut depending on your morning routine, preferences, etc. And i have no doubt she’s talented with other kinds of hair, whether it’s coloring, perms, curly hair, etc.
So good atmosphere, friendly folks, and talented stylists. Did i mention very high end styling for reasonable prices? Not sure what else you need!

I love this salon! It’s my new «hair home/​stalon family». Friendly, funny and professional — Joe gave me one of my top ten best haircuts ever. Joseph and Joey are fun and GREAT stylists who love what they do and their clinets. The whole salon has a wonderful vibe. So glad I found this place. Already have an appointment in a few weeks for different service. It’s everything you want in a salon. Quality and style and warmth.

Wonderful place, good people, great haircuts!

Mariko is awesome. Best hairdresser I’ve ever been to (and my sister-​in-​law is a hairdresser so I don’t risk my life throwing around that title without good reason).

The hairstylist Mariko was amazing.
When I met Mariko she really looked at my hair, and asked me what I was after. and also gave me some ideas of what would work for me. She mixed up a fantastic color, which really compliments my skin tone. The cut is excellent!
She made my hair look incredible. On top of that, she used no product and even taught me how to blow dry my hair properly.
She blowouts are amazing, and the cut is fabulous, low-​maintenance.
The staff is very nice and very skilled.
I will definitely be back to see Mariko… Highly recommended!

Really cute and girlie salon… I just looove it so much!
MARIKO is excellent!!! She has been cutting my hair ever since I moved to NYC in 2005 and she’s amazing at what she does and there’s no one better than her!
I have long thick dark hair and she cuts it like no other, and I looove the way she layers my hair all around, to give it a beautiful (and sexy!) bounce and vitality.
Worth checking it out… you won’t leave less than super happy with your hair!

I visited K’s salon based on its high Unilocal rating after not having a haircut for over a year. My head was starting to feel like a bird’s nest. This was also my first time having a haircut this expensive, I’m much more used to frequenting Chinatown establishments.
Joe, who cut my hair, was so lovely. This is a place, I observe, where you form a relationship wtih your stylist and chat to them about your life and treat them like family. Unfortunately I’m the sit quietly while you cut my hair type of gal… so it was a little awkward, but not anyone’s fault.
The cut was great, and the atmosphere as a whole was relaxing and calm. Since I was getting a cut for a special occasion Joe took the time to curl my hair after the blowout, and it looked amazing. I think that’s what makes this place special, that extra effort they put in to make you feel gorgeous and confident.

What a wonderful salon! Everyone there is so friendly. I just had my first cut there with Kaye, who’s pretty fantastic. She knew exactly what I wanted, did it fast, and gave me a quick (and beautiful, might I add) blow dry without any extra charges. I was in and out in half an hour, and I have A LOT of hair.
The staff in general was also great. Everyone was teasing each other and working together, just a generally fun atmosphere. The salon was beautiful too, apparently Kaye designed it herself!
All in all, not too pricey, fabulous cut, great staff… Will absolutely be going there again!
