Stay away – Peter Gwon was my stylist, and while he was supposedly cutting my hair, he was also dieing 2 other clients' hair. Because of this, he made me wait 30 minutes after getting my hair washed. He didn't listen at all - gave me numerous layers when I asked for a blunt bob.

DO NOT GO THERE! YOU WILL REGRET IT! – I had been going to this salon for years - since 2002, but after my last experience, I will never ever go again! I normally do not write reviews, but given how terrible my last experience had been, I felt compelled to warn others out there. I got a magic straightening done in early June by Jiyeon Kim, and she totally fried my hair. See below the turn of events: - Early June 2010: Got magic hair straightening with Jiyeon Kim. She totally fried the whole front part of my hair. I told her ... read more

Enjoyed The Cut – My friend got her hair cut here recently and it looked great so I gave it a shot. I made an online rsvp but when I showed up, it wasn't in the system. No worries--the girl at reception was very nice (spoke English) and I was take cared of right away anyway. Probably because I went during the weekday at 1130, when not many people were there. The stylist that my friend had, Peter, was great. He sat me down, asked me what I was looking for, and gave me a few suggestions. I went with one of them (keeping my hai... read more

not worth the money – I've been to this salon 4 times -- each time with a different stylist and a different experience. On my first 2 visits, I was made to wait between 1 to 2 hours before I got to see a stylist. This was when I made appointments asking the receptionist to recommend a stylist and not asking for the name or writing it down. On one of these two occasions, the receptionist didn't even write me in as they couldn't find me when I showed up for the appointment so I waited until closing time before someone got to m... read more

most knowledgeable hair stylists, understand ur hair needs – I usually dont visit salons and the well known impoliteness and cold treatment by the stylists and staff being one of them.. KSY is none of that and all the professionalism, adjusting schedules and only about ur hair and ur needs. I live in Delaware and still travel to the city to get my japanese relaxing done by them. There are many good salons in delaware region too but they dont specialize in japanese relaxing and KSY is the best in that. Soomi Gim is one of the... read more

terrible cut, terrible service – you know, i'm thinking that all the positive reviews of this salon are plants because i received the worst cut and worst service ever imaginable. i was ignored, pushed around. my hair looked 10 times worse after my perm. i seriously look like buckwheat from little rascals. i complained to manager/owner (old ajima) who basically told me to get lost.

Suprisingly good~ – I was abit skeptical about going to this salon at first 'till my friends kept recommanding me to go. I'm writing this review right after my 5th visit to the salon .... and so here's my un-baised opinion PRO: Very affordable for the quality of cuts.(I could've easily paid $90~120 for that same haircut elsewhere) No pressure for buying products!!(Personally I really dislike getting pressured to buy products after a cut or a perm) CON: You might not get enough attention as you might want, especially on the w... read more

Waste of my $ – I made an appointment with the stylist Soomi Gim @ 10 am for a digital perm. I have such a fear of having damaged hair that, I only do this service once a year. So for me this is a big deal. I can't deal with mistakes. She showed up more than 30 minutes late. Even to this day, I think..why didn't I just leave, seeing it as a bad sign. She hurriedly did my hair. She was doing another client's hair at the same time. What is up with hair salons these days? WHY CAN'T I GET AN INDIVIDUAL ATTENTION FROM THE STYLIST... read more
