Services
Hair Straightening
Our thermal straightening services permanently transform curly or frizzy hair into sleek, shiny styles using advanced techniques developed over 60 years of innovation. Expert stylists customize treatments for different hair types while maintaining hair health. Clients receive post-treatment care guidance to maximize longevity and maintain optimal results.
Keratin Treatment
This semi-permanent treatment infuses keratin into hair shafts to reduce frizz and enhance shine while maintaining hair's natural movement. Safe for chemically treated hair, it provides 2-3 months of smoother styling with proper aftercare. Our specialists ensure even application for consistent results.
Permanent Waves
From classic curls to modern wave patterns, our perm services use proprietary formulas developed through decades of Korean beauty innovation. Options include digital perms and setting perms that create long-lasting volume and texture tailored to face shape and hair type.
Hair Coloring
We offer full-spectrum color services including permanent, semi-permanent, and highlighting techniques like balayage and ombre. Our colorists use premium formulas that minimize damage while achieving vibrant, multidimensional results. Services include toner treatments for optimal color longevity.
Bridal Services
Complete bridal packages feature custom hairstyle design and makeup application by senior stylists with extensive event experience. Services include trial sessions and on-site coordination to ensure perfect execution on your special day. Packages available for bridal parties.
Questions
What hair straightening options do you offer?
We provide both permanent Japanese/Magic straightening and semi-permanent Keratin treatments tailored to your hair type and desired results.
Can I color my hair the same day as straightening?
Keratin treatments allow same-day coloring, but Magic/Japanese straightening requires waiting two weeks before coloring for optimal results.
Do you service highlighted/bleached hair?
Yes, both straightening methods work safely on bleached, colored, and chemically treated hair types with proper formulation.
How long should I wait before washing my hair post-treatment?
We recommend waiting 48-72 hours before shampooing to maximize treatment longevity and effectiveness.
What post-treatment care is required?
Avoid swimming for 48 hours, use keratin-safe products, and maintain straight hair positioning for the first 3 days post-treatment.
Do you offer bridal hair services?
Yes, we provide complete bridal packages including hairstyle design, makeup, and party coordination with senior stylists.

Absolutely horrible. Didn't listen to the color I wanted multiple times. Hair washer soaked my whole back. Turned out a horrible bright orange when I requested a caramel brown. Would never recommend again. Truly, save yourself a visit. People are unprofessional, rude and you most likely will not leave happy. So sad since I was very excited about this place!

Their customer service seems to vary depending on the designer but I'm calling out the head designer Kay specifically. She was just flat out rude. I hope she reads this and would respond to tell me what I have done to deserve such poor service. I received such poor customer service that I regret tipping her since I dont think she deserved any. Was charged $60 for an unsatisfactory hair cut. I wonder how she's head designer. should have gone somewhere else.

ASIAN MEN, Do NOT come here even if it's super available. Im not very picky but jeez, this is the WORST haircut i've ever gotten for $40 ($30 plus the $10 tip she assumed was hers). Even my mother joked about my barber preparing me for the military draft. details: Barber COMPLETELY shaved off my bangs (after I told her medium length), and ignored my styling requests. she was also VERY fast, bordering on negligent/Indifferent. There is no way that my barber thought this was good.

I came here after my hairdresser in Flushing closed down due to the COVID pandemic. Mi Sun did an amazing job! She was meticulous and was very attentive to my needs. Would highly recommend this spot for a color and cut.

Came in for an on-the-spot appointment and they were so accommodating! I told them that I was in a bit of a rush and everything was finished in about 30-40 minutes. The haircut includes washing and blowdrying :) they recommended a cut suited to my face shape, and they took my previous c-curl perm into account while cutting as well! They also showed me how to properly style and blowdry my hair afterwards :) Overall, I had a really great experience! Definitely recommend!

Critical: Quality, Value Overcharged me for then Worst Service I have ever received. They did smoothening on my hair really fast and left the product on my hair for overtime that resulted in damaging my hair. They force you to Tip as well. There are way better options available. Avoid this place. They just want to make money out of you. Service: Straightening
