Hair Philosophy

I've been following Jamey, the hairstylist, for over a decade – from the days at Hair Lounge to Hair Philosophy.

Throughout these years, I've entrusted only her with the task of styling my hair. Jamey is the only one who truly understands and delivers the layers I desire. Her expertise not only brings the desired color to life but also maintains the overall health of my hair. I trust Jamey completely, knowing that each session results in a perfect fusion of vibrant color and optimal hair well-being.

Her expertise has been unmatched, making her my go-to hairstylist for all things hair-related.

It was my first visit here, but I’ve been coming to Jamey for my hair for quite awhile and her work is always 10/10! I hadn’t even seen her in a couple years, but she remembered exactly how I liked my cut! I have fairly thick, coarse Asian hair, but she always manages to clean up the mess on my head every time. She’s thorough and meticulous yet works at a good pace so you’re never there for too long. The whole vibe is always chill, whether that be chatting and catching up, or sitting in comfortable silence and watching her do her thing. I highly recommend booking an appointment with her if you’re looking for a haircut!

As for the facility itself, the the salon is very spacious and clean. A good amount of staff on the floor to keep things moving, lots of hair wash stations, a place to stow away your coat and other belongings, and they even serve beverages upon request! Zelle and Venmo are accepted here, and each employee has their own QR code so tipping is a breeze. Overall, would definitely recommend checking this place out!

I've been getting my hair done with Wilson for the past few years and he always makes my hair look beautiful. I often get stopped on the street by strangers asking me where I get my hair done. The answer is with Wilson!

Wilson truly is an expert of color and his attention to detail is impeccable. Not only does my hair NEVER turn brassy (even if I go months between toning or dying), Wilson is incredibly attentive throughout the process. He takes the time to understand exactly what I want, discuss the options based on my hair's current state, and makes suggestions on what he think would look best based on my face shape and skin tone.

The end result? Absolutely stunning! I left the salon feeling like a million bucks, all thanks to Wilson's talent and thoughtful approach. Not only did my balayage turn out stunning, my hair felt healthy, silky, and vibrant.

If you're looking for a stylist who is a master of their craft, Wilson is the one to see. I can't recommend him enough!

Those photos speak for themselves! Kazuki transformed my overdue faded hair into an icy cool blonde! It took him like 4 hours for the color and another hour for the cut but it was totally worth the money and time I spent with him!

This was my first time getting my hair colored here in NY and it was everything I had hoped for! Thank you, Carson, for an amazing experience and for giving me my dream hair — would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a stylist, am absolutely coming back!

I recently booked an impulsive haircut appointment with Gaven, who gave me the best haircut of my life. He cut my hair in a way that complemented my facial features so well that my mom accused me of getting Botox.

I was thinking of gatekeeping, but Gaven deserves the recognition:)

Carson is the best! He was very patient and the result was better than I expected! If you need to get your hair done, trust me he is your guy!

Jojo gives me the best haircuts I have ever received in my life. She has a keen eye and perfectly understands what looks good on my face. Beyond thankful to have found this in NYC!

Second time coming to Wilson who worked my two inches of root growth into a gorgeous blended color for the fall season. Wilson is attentive and checks in during the session and is great at what he does. Front desk was also friendly and offered coffee/tea. It was also convenient that the location accepts card for services, but I would still bring cash for tips.

Have my hair cut and balayage by Kazuki. The result was absolutely stunning! My hair is overdue by at least one year and I could wait to get my hair back to blonde again, Kazuki spent time to check my hair and go through some options with me. The whole process took around 4.5 hours and the outcome is prefect! Will definitely come back in the future!

I'm super happy with my hair! Damon fixed the roots that another hairdresser messed up. I'll definitely be back. I totally recommend it.

The place isn’t cheap but the service is totally worth the price. For reference, for an Asian male, a haircut is about $63 and an ironing service (without haircut) is $240 before tax and tips.

I was referred to Carson and flew from out of state for this appointment! It was my first time going to Hair Philosophy and I had a wonderful experience. Staff was friendly and I felt very comfortable throughout the entire coloring process. Carson worked hard to ensure the color was what I wanted and I could tell he paid close attention to detail and I appreciate his dedication for his clients! I am obsessed with my hair and I look forward to future appointments!

My friend and I came for a head spa and scalp treatment. Absolutely loved it and my whole head felt refreshed and rejuvenated after the treatment. Vanness started off with an examination where I could see my scalp in nearly microscopic detail. He described my scalp type and then proceeded with a heated exfoliation and we ended with a serum applied. Will definitely be back again.

Love my haircut! Haven’t cut my hair is so long because I’m picky, but Carson knew exactly what I wanted. I’m so happy with the experience.

The place was also super clean and Alin was so gentle with my hair care and wash. 100% recommend

Very unfriendly! A staff member let me in to ask if I could get a hair gloss, and the owner (or at least he acted as if he was) came storming out and asked me to leave. I understand they were only open “for friends” as the irritated man said (it’s 4th of July), but the way he said it was rude. The salon was open, lighted up, but only 2 people getting worked on.

My first time visiting Hair Philosophy the moment I entered the receptionist was very friendly and welcoming. I booked a color correction with Gaven after viewing his gallery on Instagram; searching for years for a stylist to achieve the Balayage I dreamed of. The best decision I ever made. Gaven Chen exceeded my explanations! Before any hair process began he made sure to ask questions, any photo references, and most importantly understand the state of my hair. The entire hair process was very detailed oriented. Also, appreciative of Jenny, his assistant, who was kind and gentle with my hair. I am very fortunate to have had such a professional and talented stylist transform my hair. Gaven and Jenny brought my vision to life while I received high-quality service the entire time. My hair felt healthy and voluminous at the end. The Balayage was flawlessly executed, it blends so naturally. Gaven was the first stylist and colorist to achieve the Balayage I always wanted! Very glad to have found a marvelous team at Hair Philosophy.

I was absolutely delighted with the haircut done by Owen! He guided me
through the process and advised me on my hair, so now I know what suits my hair best. Thank you so much, Owen!

My life changed when I first got my hair done by Carson 5 years ago. After years of having box-dyed hair with a brassy/red undertone that I could never get rid of, Carson worked his magic and gave me my dream hair. He treats hair like art, and that's exactly what his work is - art! The way he can blend hair to give It a more natural look, especially when It starts to grow out is an 11/10.

What has always stood out to me about Carson is the guidance he provides on what I should get done. For example, what color blonde will match my skin tone best (one time I went in set on grey/ash and left with the most stunning sandy blonde) - and I'm so glad he led me in the right direction. He always educates me on what he's doing each step of the way and the why behind It, which I appreciate. As long as Carson is in the hair business, I will be a client!

Hair Philosophy had a nice environment, friendly staff, and was clean. Everyone works well together and gets along. Very positive atmosphere.

My hair looks amazing! Thanks to Kazuki my hair was finally revived from a brassy yellowish tone with at least 5-inches of root, to a completely refreshed balayage that’s more ashy blonde. I have lot of hair and I know it takes ton of time and patience to touch up my root little by little, Kazuki did it perfectly! And finally this location accept credit cards! Wait more easy!

Kazuki has been doing my hair for years and he never disappoint! I got a complete refresh balayage with ashy brown/blonde, nothing too crazy but the color match my style, I couldn’t be more happier!

Carson has been my trusted hairstylist for the last 8 years from balayage and hair dyeing to all types of haircuts! Even after moving to LA, I still prefer to pay him visits on trips back to NY for low-fuss, trusted, masterful haircuts. This time was no exception! I requested a choppy haircut and showed him some reference pictures, and he quickly got to work. An hour later, I got exactly what I was looking for plus the requested one inch of trimming and not any more! Carson is a seasoned expert, truly cares about giving what his clients ask for, and is passionate about what he does. Book an appointment with Carson and see him work his magic on your hair

I have been a client of Carson for over 5 years now. Unlinke most hair stylists he’s committed to customer satisfaction. He constantly invests in his business by furter educating himself through schooling and certifications. There isn’t a more committed hair stylist out there. Every time I go in, there’s a new piece of equipment. He’s always about providing his customers not only with the best service, but the best quality tools there are. Carson not only is great at what he does, but he truly is a good person and cares about his clients. He has always gone above and beyond. I’ve lived in New York for years and no one has compared to Carson. Simply put no one does a better job! Whatever your hair needs are - whether it be cutting, coloring, etc.there’s no better than Carson.

I had a haircut by Carson and I really like it. He is really good! He gave me what I wanted. Definitely recommend Carson!

Carson is the absolute best! He is such an extremely talented, brilliant hair stylist who makes you feel comfortable and confident. His hair highlighting is artistry!
