Best place you can find in New York. Great skill with great price and services The owner Tomoko has been cutting my hair for the past 7 to 8 years. She did my wedding hair and make up. Now she is cutting my son's hair. My husband also goes there by the stylist Takeshi.

Their english is terrible. I made appointment for 6PM and the salon called me 10 minutes before my appointment that my appiontment would be 20 minutes delay---- I was already in front of their store. And acturally, that lady stylist kept me waiting for ONE hour!! Poor english. She is at most a barber, not a stylist. She kept asking me to design style myself. Then I asked her to cut my bun shorter, she said I had already asked her to pull my bun to one side. I never heard that these 2 conflict each other. I got the worst hair style of 2009!!!!

I walked out of there with blunt cut, straight across, awkward style side bangs. Shorter than my eyebrow. Not at ALL...

Ando gave me a great cut for my medium to long length hair the first time I went to Sei Tomoko -- though the layers at the top were short, and the bottom layers were rather thin, the cut fell very nicely. The second time I went in with slightly longer hair, she listened for a few moments to what I wanted and jumped in to begin chopping (perhaps there was a communication gap). I asked her for bangs that weren't too heavy, and slightly layered so that they fell to the side, as well as blended layers in the back. She proceeded to chop my hair with a razor into a mushroom of layers around my...
