Hairppy

Yusuke is a most experienced hair dresser who excels at everything from cutting, styling, coloring, and even shampooing. He combines the latter with an aromatized heat massage treatment that is super relaxing and pampering.
Though he is always up to speed with the latest trends, this is a hairdresser that is more focused on your individual needs and taste. He has a quiet, discreet charm, which concentrates upon you as he only attends to one client at a time. This makes your appointment an individualized, special experience.
Every time I cut my hair I always receive compliments. This is why, after 12 years of enjoying his expertise, I wouldn’t dare use anybody else.

I have been going to Yusuke for many years, he is absolutely amazing! You will always have the best experience, he’s a master stylist! I feel so great after getting cut and color with him, my hair is always so shiny, he does absolutely beautiful color and cut! I highly recommend him!

Yusuke is amazing! I went from a very long hair to long bob and he did such a amazing job. I love it! The one on one treatment he gives you can get nowhere. The studio is super clean and organized and I love the design. Definitely coming back!

What an amazing experience! Yusuke is a true artist and master. I feel and look amazing!!! So grateful!

Yusuke is the best. When it was time to cut my long hair, I trusted him completely. Every time I get a hair cut, I get a compliment on the cut within a few days of the visit. People who know, really appreciate his expertise.
I look forward to my hair cut because, as another reviewer stated, he takes special and personal care with every client. He has cool music going, always offers me something to drink (he even has a chart with about a dozen or more kinds of tea), a serene white and wood setting, and his warm lavender neck roll is SO relaxing.
Cannot recommend more highly.

Hairppy is the best! Yusuke is so talented and so sweet. I have never had better color, his shampoo/​head massage is one of a kind, and his protein treatment is out of this world. In addition to my own positive feedback, my husband recently went to Hairppy to see if Yusuke could fix a terrible haircut he got in NJ. Not only did he fix it, he gave him one of the best haircuts he’s ever had. Highly recommended!

Hairppy is a unique and intimate salon experience. It is just you and Yuske and he focuses just on you. You don’t get all those distractions that you would find in a big salon (like 40 chairs lined up along a glass mirror, blow dryers constantly going off, no thanks!). It is a very relaxed atmosphere and a nice little haven in the middle of Chelsea (right across the street from Whole Foods).
To get on to hair, Yuske really listens to what you want. How many times have you gone to a new person and walk out with a crazy do? Because I am very fussy about my layers, he really listens and gives me what I want. His approach is dry cut, so literally he cuts your hair dry so he can cut every strand with perfection, you wear your hair dry so it makes sense. Then he washes (he has amazing smelling shampoo from Japan) and puts a hot towel with lavender oil under your neck to help you relax. It’s little touches like that, which make Hairppy so special.
Yuske has worked on fashion shoots, so he has the sensibility and the experience of what works and looks good. He also does amazing updos for special occasions and weddings. He is also an amazing colorist and does digital waves, I love this treatment because it helps me create loose waves without putting a curling iron to my hair everyday. I would highly recommend it, if you are seeking those loose Kate Moss waves.
I believe he is in the process of bring on his apprentice, but until then make sure you book in advance! I promise, your hair will thank you.

Their protein treatment is phenomenal! My hair was literally burnt off, and the treatments saved me!!! this is the only salon I will ever go to! yosuke is the coolest ever!
