Read More On Citysearch ttayor 9/14/2009 - friendly staff, good cuts :)superb service, uses good products, has a nice system that keeps track of regular customers and their needs! My haircut last week was quite good, and I had a very pleasant time chatting with the staff. It may not be the place to go if you want an extremely stylized hair cut, but they defintely know how to do hair well.

Read More On Citysearch grifter08 12/14/2008 - Amazing cut!I just went to Ueno for the first time this weekend and I selected it after doing a little internet research. Junko did my cut and it was AMAZING! She made sure to sit me down and ask exactly what i wanted a few different times just to make sure the length was what i had in mind. The cut was absolutely perfect, she angled it and layered it perfectly. (My hair is past my shoulders and the cut w...
Read More On Citysearch nyctransplant008 9/1/2008 - Relaxing and a great cutI had a wonderful time! It was 90 something degrees out and i was hot and exhausted. I was given a wonderful shampoo and head massage. It cooled me right down and was so relaxing. Machiko cut my hair, and spend a good hour meticulously cutting and styling. I loved the result.
Read More On Citysearch slsfitz 7/16/2008 - First timer and definitely pleased with Machiko!The usual routine for me after a haircut is to: bawl about how terrible it looks, wait a few months for it to completely grow out, then wait as long as possible before i have to get back into the sick cycle of haircuts. I've been hopping around trying to find a stylist that won't make me miserable for the next three months, and i think I've found her. Machiko was super attentive to how i descri...

I was looking for a new hair salon, I haven't been too happy with anyone one salon recently to stick with them. I spent a few days reading reviews of hair salons downtown. I did my research, and decided on which salon and which stylist i was going to choose. I finally decided on Ueno Salon, and wanted to try Yoko who was highly recommended. When I called them up and told the receptionist that I...
Read More On Citysearch fresher 2/26/2008 - WonderfulOnly after getting a truly atrocious cut at a well-reviewed place, do I realize what I've found here. So what if the cut took sort of longer than I expected, or that the stylist didn't completely explain what he was going to do before starting. The product was amazing. I went to Ueno in September, after a brutal hair butcher cut off nearly half of my hair, utterly miserable and convinced there...
Read More On Citysearch aspy 2/16/2008 - Love the Haircut!I went to Ueno for the first time and had a great experience. Naomi really knows what she is doing and is very attentive. I had color, highlights and haircut and it was not so expensive. Will come back again!
Arigatou gozaimashita! :)

I got great treatment, the haircut lasted at least 30 min's, which is great because a lot of time was spent on me. My eyebrows were trimmed for me, and just the way I like it. The cut was great, and the lady was nice to talk to (although couldn't speak English perfectly, but we managed). They also offer tea, and other extras while you're getting cut...
Read More On Citysearch dwillington 11/12/2007 - What a gem!I just came back from Ueno on 9th street, and I absolutely love my hair. Eiko was my stylist, and she was attentive and knowledgeable, without any pressure to buy anything--greatly appreciated!
I love my hair and my new (dark) color--very stylish.
The aromatherapy and hot towels after the shampoo was very relaxing.
It was quiet and friendly, I felt very relaxed--I will go back, no doubt (and...
Read More On Citysearch enfantterrible 7/15/2007 - Worst haircut of my life!!!!At first the stylist seemed nice, but when she started cutting, I could tell that she wasn't making it the way that I wanted it to look. I brought a picture to make it easier to show her what I wanted, then was telling her what I wanted, then she was very quick with her mouth and cut me off in saying, "Will you let me cut?" I DID tell her I didn't like it, then she got very defensive with me. I...

Read More On Citysearch iknowsoho 4/29/2007 - Diamond in the rough-amazing staff and treatment for an amazing price!So, I went in today per recommendation of a friend because there are just TOO many choices anymore, and my last hairdresser always moves and losses me.
Anyway, I was looking forward to jazzing up my long grown out style, and this was the place to go. The neighborhood is awesome to walk around in, the place is small with that lazy Sunday afternoon calm to it. The decor is homey, simple and a li...
Read More On Citysearch jobot 4/19/2007 - An Experience to RememberWalking by the salon for the first time I thought I might have been in Paris for a moment. The understated decor was accentuated by the larger than life mirrors, leaning against the walls in front of every chair. My stylist was Miki and it's seems he previously had Shiatsu training because just getting a shampoo and rinse was an experience in it's self. I've had scalp massages before from Japa...

I'm very glad I did. They are super hip and elegant at the same time. I was offered a menu of hot teas to choose from while I waited for my appointment ( I was early) and was put at ease from the relaxing environment. Yoko was my s...
Read More On Citysearch the_nearest_oak 4/19/2007 - Check it out, you won't be disappointedMiki was fantastic cutting my hair. It was so relaxing I fell asleep. He was very attentive and asked for feedback throughout the cut which was really nice. Plus my bangs look awesome. I love the cozy ambience of the place and I think it's a hidden treasure in the neighborhood.

Read More On Citysearch lillyofthevalley 4/13/2007 - More than worth the 250 mile trekI live in DC, but I travel all the way up to NYC just to get my hair cut at Ueno Salon. I absolutely LOVE it there. From the ambiance (classy and chic) to the people (friendly and knowledgeable), I finally found the only place I'll get my hair done. People think I'm crazy for driving all the way up every time I want a hair cut, but once they see my hair, THEY want to go up too! I've been to ...
Read More On Citysearch ghostsis 4/11/2007 - UPDATE: Never going back to UenoJust wanted to include an update on my review posted on 3/24/2007. In short, I'm never going back to Ueno. I gave my hair a couple of weeks to look better after the new cut, and it never materialized. Sad to say, but the stylist I saw (Junko) does not have good hair cutting technique. My hair looks unhealthy, and doesn't fall straight. Her bad cutting technique has caused my hair to take on...
Read More On Citysearch minouche 3/24/2007 - Best Haircut!I'm usually very wary about trying new salons, but based on the reviews here, I decided to give Ueno a shot. I didn't really have an idea of what I wanted, but Yoko sat with me and really listened to what I thought. I came out of Ueno with the best haircut I've had in years!! Yoko's technique was great and I would definitely go back!
Read More On Citysearch michellemarcelo 1/10/2007 - very satisfiedGenerally, I'm not very fond of asian salons because I would always leave with a butchered haircut and money down the drain. But after my friend had suggested it and after reading the reviews on citysearch, I decided to give Ueno a shot. My stylist was Machiko, and not only was she sweet and very polite, she listened to what I had wanted, and offered her suggestions as well. She spent well over a...
Read More On Citysearch jullethan 1/4/2007 - Wouldn't go backSeveral weeks ago, based on the reviews on citysearch, I booked an appointment at Ueno Salon for a haircut. The haircut I got was so amateurish, not to mention rushed. At the end of the cut, I was surprised to see that my hair was not styled -just shellaqued with product and seeing my obvious disappointment, I was told by the stylist that I didn't have enough hair to make a style. My hair is long...

Read More On Citysearch bobo22 11/25/2006 - friendly staff, great tea and the place smells like heaven!Let's see... which part do I like best? The complimentary gourmet tea selection? The great smelling candles? The PILES of international fashion magazine mixed in with vintage Vogue? The airiness of the open space? The great hair cut or maybe it's the $65 price tag that made it the cherry on top? I am not sure but I know for a fact that I'll be back!!!!
Read More On Citysearch crazyglue007 10/22/2006 - Best haircut EVER!At my age (33) I've had a lot of different hairstyles and stylists - some good, some not so good. I went to Ueno for the first time recently after reading all of the rave reviews on Citysearch. I'm always a bit skeptical of super positive reviews, but these reviews are absolutely genuine. I have never in my life gotten such an amazing haircut! The cut I wanted was kind of complicated, but my ...
Read More On Citysearch abfabgirl 10/7/2006 - I love uenoIt's a wonderful little Japanese salon, with great stylists and an air of quirky coolness. I've been going for quite some time now, each time getting beautiful haircuts. Add to that the comfort and charm of the little place, and certain reassuring serenity - I wouldn't trade it for anything.
Read More On Citysearch arthenis 9/11/2006 - Sub-par experience
I'm a twenty year old student, but Yoko gave me a haircut of a 40 year old businesswoman -not the look I was hoping for. Although it's a nice haircut, it's not fitting for my lifestyle or hair texture, which in my opinion are two crucial parts to a quality salon experience. Unfortunately she did not focus on what was discussed during the consultation- I stressed that I never blowdry my hair and I...

I told them I wanted something completely different but that low-maintenance is essential. I walked out with the best cut ever! It is very chic and professional and yet incredibly cute. And the best thing is I spend all of 2 seconds on it every morning! I just shower and go! And I get compliments all the time. They gave me more...

I have been visited first time, I usually have my hair cut not in NY because, I have had awful cut before. Since I gotten, I don't trust anyone touch my hair, but I tried now I find the one of great stylist at ueno. I tell about Ueno to all of my friends!!
Read More On Citysearch kimiyou 4/13/2006 - the most satisfying haircutthis is my 1st time to ueno. i brought a pic of some cosplay wig to Yoko (u can imagine...) since my hair was much shorter than the picture shown, i explained to her the main thing i want from the hair, and left her decide on the rest. the hair came out a bit bulkier than i expected due to my massive amount of hair, but Yoko had it carried out the way no other stylists i'd been to could do, no...
Read More On Citysearch nephalim13 1/31/2006 - Elegant and StylishUeno's space in Nolita creates a relaxed and elegant environment to have your treatment of choice. More importantly however, is the quality of the cut you will get and the service they provide. Yoko has cut my hair several times and I think she is both respectful of my hair and also has ideas for me when I sit down in the chair without a clear vision of what I want. The Malin & Goetz products ...

I don't do anything to crazy with my hair, so neither does she -- but I don't look exactly ordinary either. Sometimes I go in with only a rough idea of what I want. Yoko listens and reliably comes up with something fitting my description -- and surpassing my expectations. She's capable, patient, and pleasant. You won't feel rushed, and you'll appreciate the care ...
Read More On Citysearch smithlee 3/24/2005 - The best hair salon in Nolita !!Hey! How can you find better hair salon than UENO in Nolita.
I just got new hair style from Yoko (who is the owner) Everyone gave me complements.
If you are bored with your old hair style go to UENO.
You can be the most stylish person in your office (or your building.)
The store is mellow and cozy atmosphere. plus excellent people and coffee.
How can you not go there?
Read More On Citysearch nakayoshi 3/15/2005 - More than meets the eye.Working in the neighborhood I would walk by every so often past the salon, intrigued with the decor. It reminded me of an old film possibly taking place in some far off european town... but yet it had a modern mood to it as well. At first one might think it to be a cafe of some sort since there's a bar counter with an old vintage refrigerator. But that's before you notice the cutting chairs....

Extremely unhappy w/ my most recent salon cut from home, I walked in to check out the salon on a whim. After talking to Gi and Yoko I figured I'd give it a shot with the competative price especially for the city. I left with the the best haircut I had in years. No doubt I will be going back-the service was great and I was very pleased and I am not at all surprised t...

I chose Ueno for the neighborhood, but was curious from all the great reviews in Citysearch and well, Ueno doesn't dissapoint, rather lifts you to the next level of expectations; happiness, so I felt compelled to write my own extolation.

Read More On Citysearch grheeduke 2/7/2005 - I'm hookedWhen I lived in Boston, I would wait until I visited LA to get a haircut at this place in Torrance. But now I have a place in NY for exactly the same thing. I can trust that my hair won't be from the 90's but not experimental, either. I think someone else said it, too, but one of few place where I can get Malin & Goetz products.

These large places definitely turn out a good product and the atmosphere is bustling, but I am a convert to a more spa like approach and desire more personal attention. Ueno has only three chairs and is styled like a sophisticated,little apartment. Come in, have some tea at the bar, go into the private ...
