Kakaboka Hair Salon — Attraction in New York

Stay away from this place.

Brought my nephew here for a haircut right before his high school graduation. The young lady (I don’t know her name because she didn’t hand out her business card) who cut his hair shaved a small area. I assumed she tried to hide it, so the shaved side is shorter than the other side.

They were not going to say anything about it. So I questioned them about the spot, they first said it was already there. It was “shaved from the previous haircut.” Then they changed the story saying that he’s losing hair! How dare you traumatized a teenager saying he’s going bald? All I wanted was a simple apology.

I have been to Kakaboka Hair Queens for years now. I always go to Julie Joohee Woo for anything hair related (cut, color, straightening, etc).

Just because she was having a hard time understanding me she just said they're fully booked for the day and hung up. Another instance is when I came to ask if they are still taking customers for the day before they close. Instead of telling me that unfortunately they cannot take me since they will close in an hour. She had to laugh out loud first and look at her co worker before telling me. So unprofessional. I'd rather go to other Korean salons that can give me...
