Dress Hair Salon By Miwa

I was recommended from a friend to try Ritsu and I was very happy with results. Im a guy and my hair is more fine and blonde so I wasnt sure if she would be able to work will this «european» hair, basically, but she did an amazing job… actually, as the haircut has been growing out the last 4 weeks, it still looks and feels amazing. I have an odd cowlick, which hair stylists never can deal with and always makes my hair flop awkwardly to 1 side on my front right side… and she is the first person to somehow ‘fix’ this… and as its growing out, its still fine… I have no idea how she managed to fix this, seeing no one else ever has and its always flopping in some weird angle no matter how I had tried to style it in the past. Anyways, I wasnt exactly sure what type of hair style I wanted, or even how to talk about hair styles, Im a guy, and idk, I dont really know the vocab, and she just sat me down and we figured out the style that would look good… it was a bit shorter then usual, but, I loved it… made me look awesome, and Ive gotten several compliments over the last few weeks… so, I guess Ill be back after this one grows out. oh yeah… and the shampoo/​scalp massage was amazing… very thoughtful and talented person, and fun/​funny to chat with.

So happy ! Went back to Ken for a haircut and toner, he always knows exactly what I want and what works for my features and complexion.

Came here yesterday because I saw the great reviews and really like the pics of their work. I am glad I did because I was not disappointed. Ritsu was amazing. She was so sweet and accomodating. I am glad I gave this place a shot. The atmosphere is also very light, I have come to some salons who unfortunately have such an air of gossip and wouls talk about their clients when they leave. Not this one! I also love the results. I told Ritsu I wanted a lighter color and that’s exactly what she did. I will be back!

We loved this place. Made a last minute appointment with Ken, who transformed my friends grey/​green hair into a fuchsia berry colour that will fade into a lilac.
Great service, reasonable price. Left satisfied

Ritsu is meticulous! Great attitude, and very talented. Asked for a choppy long bob, and got exactly that.
Update from June 2015: my haircut continues to grow out fabulously, first time in my life that I don’t style my hair everyday because letting it air dry looks good. And just got a balayage/​ombré from Ritsu last week, which is, again, EXACTLY what I wanted. Subtle yet stylish. I’m a fan forever, Ritsu xoxo

I saw Miwa after a color disaster at another salon. He is amazing! I had to wait a bit before he fixed my hair, and was able to watch him work on a client. He is a perfectionist and the woman walked away looking quiet beautiful.
My hair was exactly what I’d hoped it would be and walked away feeling quiet happy — oh and the blow out was awesome!
Thank you, Miwa!

The most satisfying haircut I have gotten since yet. Listened to and executed exactly what I had in mind. Would recommend

Got my color done at Oscar Blandi and didn’t like that it turned into a copper, red hue 3 weeks later… so I found Ken at Dress Hair Salon and he is an amazing colorist! Got balayage done with a caramel blonde hue and he beyond exceeded my expectations. Ken is super friendly, personable and gives the most incredible head massage during the hair wash! He even massages your neck afterwards. HIGHLY recommend Ken and will definitely be going back to him.
The salon is small & narrow, but you never feel like its crowded or that you’re in anyone’s space. They offer you tea/​water, magazines and really go out of their way to make you feel comfortable and you leave smiling.

Ritsu did an amazing job of coloring my hair! I was looking for someone to help me fix the current color of my hair that another salon gave me. It was too redish at the roots and I wanted it dark to match the rest of my hair. I came in and left with beautiful dark brown hair! The exact color that I wanted the first time. Thank you Ritsu!
The salon is in a very cute and trendy area. All of the staff members that worked there were very sweet. They seem to have numerous returning regulars and are professionals.
I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for an affordable hair color and great service! I would definitely return.

One word Ritsu, pronounced Reet Su.
I came in for highlights and a root touch up, with existing washed out, somewhat brassy highlights already in place. Truthfully I felt my hair was dehydrated and the arctic winter temperatures in New York City right now are not helping.
Generally I’m very open to the stylist when cutting or coloring my hair and I was prepared with a photo of what I wanted to look like. Ritsu was interested and also introduced to my Selfie collection, of which I have many, to get the general idea of my daily hairstyle preferences. What can I say, Ritsu got me. Her blow out was perfection and I felt glam and natural.
She was very patient and gentle with my hair, at times I closed my eyes and found the experience of applying foils relaxing! Even the hair wash was exceptional. The aromas from the shampoo and conditioner were intoxicating and Ritsu recommended some take home hair care for me. It was pricey but well worth the money. Lets face it, why spend $ 400 on a hand bag and $ 8 on shampoo. It’s all about the hair honey! Shouldn’t you feel and look your best???
The salon is narrow, but everyone is respectful of space and with the clients. There is a nail salon in the lower level that specializes in nail art which is quite the trend and beautiful. Marie Nails has an impressive IG account and I definitely will return to see Ritsu again with a nail appointment too! Right now I’m shaking out my stunning locks and thankful for a fabulous experience at Dress Hair Salon!

MIwa is awesome!
If your looking for a great hairdresser, who does exactly what you are asking for then go to Miwa. Miwa is super friendly and kind. He has been cutting my hair for over two years now, I’m thrilled to have found this place. The price isn’t bad for an incredible precise cut. Dress hair has top choices of magazines to read while your getting your hair cut. The blow out is always fantastic. Book Miwa!

I have been looking for a hair stylist since moving from Texas to New York and found Ritsu at Dress Hair Salon. My hair is thick, curly, and unruly and she miraculously got it under control and gave me an excellent haircut and blow out! I have never had so many good hair days before in my life and I thank her entirely! The customer service at Dress is great and I look forward to every visit! Thanks Ritsu!!! You are Awesome!

I went to see Ken for a haircut at the recommendation of a friend. He is really friendly and easy to talk to. He gave me an amazing haircut and then showed me how to style it myself at home which I find to be pretty rare these days. It was a great hair cut and it is growing out really well and it was reasonably priced, I felt. I highly recommend him.

I had an appointment this week with Ritsu — a new stylist at the salon. Although she is a new stylist at the salon — she has been a hair stylist for 15 years. She was wonderful. I have long highlighted blonde hair and she did exactly what I wanted. The color turned out beautiful — just as I wanted it to!
She was kind and courteous — gave me water and magazines and did an amazing job shampooing and conditioning and gave me a nice blowout.
All and all a great experience — I definitely recommend Dress Salon — and booking with Ritsu!!!

I was searching for a good hair stylist since i moved to NY, I am so happy I found Ken.
I randomly walked in to Dress 2 years ago and Ken was my hair stylist, I have been a loyal customer since. I always get compliments about my hair cuts how it is layered even after 6 months! I can ways trust Ken with my hair, I leave the salon very happy every time.
My last visit i asked for a moderate ombré hair coloring, he did it EXACTLY like i asked for, or even better!
Ken san Arigatogozaimasu !

I’ve been going to Ken at dress salon for almost a year now. My friend and I walked in randomly one day for a trim, and I’ve returned ever since. He’s super friendly and sweet and let’s me sit in silence when I feel like it or chat away when I feel like that. He’s detailed and takes his time. I never feel rushed. The best shampooing ever too!
I’ve always liked my cut and highlight every time. No complaints!
The salon itself is bare bones, but it’s fine because Ken is great and it’s close to home for me. I can’t speak for any other hairdressers, but I would recommend him! That is solely what my rating is based off of.

I’m not quite a fan … Of the results nor the pricing. Maybe I’m spoiled and too accustomed to a certain level of service. When I ask my regular hairstylist, Jun from Jun Hair Salon, for a specific hairstyle, she ALWAYS delivers. I want my cut to look like Kimmy K’s? Done, I walk out with Kimmy K hair. At Dress, they failed to do that for me. I brought in a photo of exactly what I wanted and asked if the hairstylist could replicate that hairstyle. «Of course, very easy» was the response I received.
I sat in the chair for three hours while the hairstylist worked on my tresses via a digital perm procedure, tucking the curls in this way and that, prompting me to get up for a rinse and then back into the chair.
Once the curls are first out of the curlers, I looked like the Asian version of Orphan Annie. My hair runs more than halfway down my back so I was startled to see it curl above my neckline. The hairstylist was quick to reassure me that it just needed some time to settle in. I nodded my head, but there was some unsettling in my stomach. I waited another hour before I saw the first set of results. It looked nothing like the photo I brought in and it didn’t look wavy or curly, but at least the length was back. Where is proof of the $ 160 digital perm I just spent? I was very honest and said to her, «this looks nothing like what I asked for.» A bit startled, she hurriedly began twirling my hair and blow-​drying to add some style to it. I walked out of there with some bounce to my hair and some waves, but I’ll be perfectly honest that it just did not sit well with me because it still did not mirror what I wanted. So that means $ 160 ($ 190 total after including tip) and 3 hours of time down the drain.
For a digital perm, I paid $ 160 (definitely more than I have paid for a haircut + dyeing in the past). I saw that their haircuts are $ 60+, double what I pay at Jun’s. I won’t be coming back to pay that amount of money for a cut when there is no reassurance that they can actually deliver on the results.
I think this is punishment/​a sign that we shouldn’t deviate from a good hairstylist once we have found them. Jun’s stuck with me forevermore.

I came here because my stylist, Atsuko, found a new home at Dress. She’s worked with my hair through many different stages and styles. She’s always done a phenomenal job! I’ve had a pixie cut and chin length. When I told her I was growing it out, she advised me not to come back to her until it was a lot longer because a trim here and there, makes a difference in length. I loved her honesty and she was right! I didn’t get it cut again until she arrived at Dress and by then, my hair was almost to the middle of my back. When she finally cut it, she made me look fantastic!
Then I made the decision to get a digital spiral perm on the lower half of my hair. Thank goodness Dress does digital perms and they’re having a sale until May. I took it as a sign. I was so excited when my appointment came around. The procedure took 3 hours and at the end, my hair was gorgeous! She was even teaching me how to care for it — what shampoo and conditioner and hair oil to use, how to dry it, what not to do to it.
I was a little nervous because I’m a completely low maintenance kind of girl but it was really easy to maintain. I’ve only ever had straight hair. I barely have to do anything to make it look good now. When I went to work on Monday, everyone was impressed and kept asking to touch it. They couldn’t believe it was a perm because it was so soft and natural looking.

I went to this salon because a stylist I used to go to, Atsuko, has returned. While I usually have simple haircut (a fade with some spikiness on top), I wanted to start growing my hair back out. When I do this, I don’t trust many people to cut my hair, but I trust Atsuko fully (as do my brother, my fiancé, and about 5 other family and friends).
I haven’t tried any of the other services at this place.

I went to get nails done by Marie nails when I was in NY.
They are located a basement floor the hair salon.
The guy «mr.Miwa» was there.
I didn’t know the hair salon is there.
He was very friendly and nice guy!
I usually get my hair done in la. But it was goot time to hair done, so decider to get hair and nails done same time.
He we fashionable and I liked his hair style. So I was expected his does good job.
He cut my hair exactly how I like and gave me a great blowout and set more than I thought!
I still love my hair condition even now.
When he cut my hair, also trimed my damaged hair using his original cut skill.
It really works.
Made me happy and my hair healthy!
