SHAIR UNION SQUARE Hair Salon

SHAIR is the best! I had been going to a different salon for years but I am so happy I made the swap to SHAIR. I trust all of them with my hair but Hiromi and Haruka are the best. They always get the vision and never miss!! I especially love them for bang trims (I go often), but of course the full haircut is great as well.

Little salon on the 2nd floor, recommend a reservation. Stylists don't work every day, so if you have a favorite, then check on their schedule. Some will take credit cards, too.

I visited the stylist (Kazunori) at their West Village location for a simple bang cut. I showed him a reference picture (as seen in the first picture) and even mentioned that my hair is curved, so it might need to be straightened before cutting. He dismissed my concern, assured me it was fine, and finished the cut in just 5 minutes. At first, I felt the shape looked odd, but he insisted it was correct. The next morning, I woke up and realized that the middle section was noticeably longer than the sides, no matter how I styled it. Frustrated, I called the salon to ask if they could fix it—it would have taken less than 5 minutes. However, they told me the stylist wasn’t working that day. Since I hated how my bangs looked, I asked if any other stylist could fix them. They said I’d have to w

So disappointed, booked Hiromi for a pixie but it had no feminine touches to it and was just badly done. I hated it. I wouldn't have minded so much but she barely washed my hair, no head massage while washing, one rinse and it was done. Having my hair washed is my favorite part of going to a salon. Couldn't even get that. (Saki was terrific, but she has left to open her own business, so I won't be going back).

Naoe at Shair is The Best for kid’s cuts. I first came to Naoe when my daughter was almost 5 and today my daughter is 6.5. My daughter has always had so much hair so it’s important that someone skilled cuts her hair. Naoe gives fantastic cuts and is also gentle and fun. We love her!
