Maison de MI Salon | Korean Hair Salon — Local services in New York

Danny is the best, and I'm so happy that I started seeing him a year and a half ago. I've always struggled with how I wanted to cut and style my stubborn hair, since it pokes out like a porcupine and doesn't really take well to heat.

I had a very specific kind of hair style that I liked, but never really thought it would be possible for my hair to look that way. I showed Danny a reference photo, and he told me that the style I wanted was not possible during today's appointment (back in Sept 2023) but he will cut my hair in a way so it sets me up for success during my next.

He is so thorough and detail oriented, he made sure my current haircut looked good, while at the same time ensuring it would grow in a way that would help me eventually reach the style that I wanted. He even gave me an estimated month to come back so my hair would be long enough, and he was spot on!

I came back for a follow up, he suggested a down perm on the sides and a natural wavy perm on top so I didn't have to take time to style my hair daily / give it heat damage. I honestly was a little scared because of a bad perm in the past, but decided to put some faith in Danny and went with his suggestions. I'm glad I did, because this has been the haircut that I've stuck with since. It looks so natural and saves me time since my hair is basically styled right out of the shower.

Also, their perming solution was so gentle on my hair, it kept the natural waviness that I wanted, but it didn't suck out the moisture out of my hair like other perms. Another perk is that their perm only requires you to wait one day before shampoo! I suspect they probably do the Olaplex Perm method, which explains why my hair feels less damaged and the one day shampoo guidance (although I still wait two days out of superstition, thank you Legally Blonde).

I know that the price is on the higher end, but you really are paying for the attention-to-detail that Danny brings to the table. He really makes sure that everything is cut perfectly, sometimes I see him snip a single strand of hair, and wonder if anyone would even notice, but that just goes to show how thorough Danny is.

I usually come in for a hair cut every month and a half or so, and get my wavy perm like twice a year (also, no need to worry about a language barrier, I speak to them in English, other stylists can speak Korean and...

TLDR: I would recommend this place to absolutely nobody.

Service: This was an incredibly frustrating and disappointing experience. This establishment clearly tries to give the impression it’s a nice hair salon the kind you’ll encounter in Seoul, but instead it just charges the lofty prices without the lofty service or high quality. For example, it was only after applying hair toner without notifying that the charge for the haircut would be increased by $200. For having spent ++$500 (tax, tip included) on 2 haircuts, the absence of attention to detail was disheartening. We shouldn’t have to request the person holding the sponge to wipe away loose hairs from my girlfriend’s face to actually wipe away the loose hairs. That should be obvious. I shouldn’t have to awkwardly hold my own head while getting shampooed before and after the cut rather uncomfortably. If you ask me if the water temperature is okay the first time and I respond yes, then I’d expect the water temperature to be same or similar the 2nd time. Even if it’s not the same, it shouldn’t be completely different- or at least the person can ask?

Haircut: I had my haircut with Danny who did not even try to cut my hair the way that I requested. I showed a picture of close shaved sides and a comb over. He cut my hair giving me a middle part with bangs in 2 different places. He said he didn’t think it would look good to have short sides then proceeded to cut my hair in a manner that’s currently trendy among men my age in Seoul. At the end, he didn’t ask

how I like to style my hair, What kind of product I use, Whether I’d like product in my hair

Instead, he sprayed his hands with some oil or substance then styled my hair. Again, at no point did he ask me anything or tell me what it was he was doing. He never asked whether I liked how it was going. The only thing he asked was if I would like to dye my hair or had ever before which was clearly an attempt to get me to spend even more money.

From top to bottom this place left so much to be desired that it would be underselling to say the experience and the workers inside acted unprofessionally. If you want to pay top tier prices for bottom tier product and services, then Maison de Mi is the place for you. Do not go here unless you’re looking for...

If you want to ruin your hair permanently, by all mean get a haircut from Grace. Otherwise stay away from this scammer. She not only cut my hair unevenly but also thinned out my hair SO MUCH that It made me look like chemo patient. She cut my hair so unskillfully to the point where it is irritating my skin and SUPER FRIZZY and I lost 50%of my hair volume. ive never bad baby hair in my life but she thinned out my hair to the point I look like I have baby hair. it's actually insane. It will take years and years to grow it back to my natural state. She switched back and forth between me and the other custumer while cutting my hair so she can ruin my hair and cut unevenly. She's also narcissistic extremely verbally abusive towards her clients when I asked what technique she used to thinned out my hair so much . She became extremely toxic and verbally aggressive when I expressed my concern about the way she cut my hair. she claimed she knows what she's doing but she clearly doesn't know how to cut good haircut when she thInned out my hair so much out of JEALOUSY and the ends are not even clean. I had to argue with her at the salon for half an hour because she thinned out my hair so much WITHOUT MY PERMISSION and she didnt even offer to fix or change my haircut when she gave me sucu a bad haircut. This salon stressed the hell out of me. I'm never going back there again and I cant believe I paid over 100 for this type of treatment. Instead of trying to give me advice on what I can do to fix it, she kept denying everything she did and verbally harassed me, which is ridiculous. This was absolutely horrifying experience! I wish everyone to be aware of how incompetent Grace is and never have to go through the same experience I've gone through...
