Hairstylist

[TrueSelf]

Peace ya'll...

I'm looking for a new hairstylist in the NYC area who specializes in spiral curls. My hair is weird... It changes when it feels like it... Normally it's wavy, some parts will be straight & other parts curl up. I like to keep my whole head of hair in tight spiral curls I can afro out. I've tried different size rods when permed, but it never comes out right. On television I saw this curling process used by a Japanese hairstylist, but I didn't get a name or any other info.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

PEACE!!

I go to Hairmates in NYC...there are 2 locations in NYC and 1 in Japan, and most, if not all of their hair stylists are Japanese--they do a great job! Just google hairmates + nyc, and check out the site.

I forgot the name of the place I went to, but its a nice tendy salon in chinatown. ~100 or so yards from the Fung wah bus stop. They do an AWESOME job. The name starts with a J. Jun I think it is.

Your hair sounds way too much like mine. Throw some before and after pictures up. I've been looking for something to do to my hair too and I have all the same problems.

the Fung wah! I took that once...supposedly it used to be very shady, operating from the back of an abandoned chinese bakery? there were also a couple of occasions where the bus flipped, and another time the engine caught on fire....not to mention that NONE of the drivers had bus permits???? It's a great deal though for 15 bucks to boston....

I've been hearing a bunch of bad stories about fungwah, but when I went back in april it seemed fine to me.

I took it from boston to new york and back in march and it was great, albeit way too cold on the way back.

On the same note, don't suppose any one has any links to east asian haircuts/styles I could look through? I need a haircut desperately and need some inspiration...

The blog has videos on styling Japanese hair styles. Search the archives.

are there any galleries for american cuts?

[TrueSelf]

Peace ya'll,

Dang it's been a minute since I've been on here. I checked out Hairmates and they told me what I wanted was too complicated (i'm guessing they just didn't want to do it). So... I went to this spot called Hair Osh (11 E 32nd St. bet 5th & Madison, NYC 212.213.5338). They were pretty good. Still not how I want it, but it came out nice. Here's the before & after.

Okay... My images won't upload.

[billy dee williams]

check out salon vijin in roc. center

[TrueSelf]

Thanks, I'll check it out

In addition to what the other two put up...here are a couple of other websites that I've been looking through since I'm also looking for haircut ideas...

Thanks, I'll check it out

theres also a japanese bookstore, kinokuniya, near it, on the street level. they have all the hair and style catalogs there, so you can check some out before choosing a style.

Someone asked about LA-- rudy's in the standard on sunset had some great stylists for awhile, plus great hours. i havent been ther ein awhile, i would if i lived near there though. theres a cool place in burbank called Frenchy's where a lot of hip young ladies are the stylists, plus rudy's on sunset and hillhurst in los feliz.

[herpsky]

i went to rudy's once. the best haircut i got from an american stylist.

the cut was like 20 bucks or so. crazy cheap

the rudy's on melrose sucks. ive had three different barbers and they butchered my hair. i almost was goign to shave it until i found someone else to save my hair. I usually show them pictures before too but some how they never ever come even close to reproducing the hair pictured.

Hair by Rare in Tribeca is pretty bitchin.

It can be a little pricey, but I bet some of the stylists could hook you up with just about anything.
