I’ve been getting yearly haircuts from Kevin since 2019, and he always does an excellent job. I don’t color my hair, so a good haircut makes a big difference, and he never fails to deliver. Plus, he often shares great haircare tips.

I asked for a perm and the two people that attended me were extremely kind and clear through the whole haircut. They told me about everything we should do, and how to do it, and everything. The guy that was with me even stayed 1:40 hours after they closed just to make my hair perfect. I highly reccomend, as they really care about your hair and it is worth it for the price.

I highly recommend this place for if you’re getting a perm. Ask for Poh Yee. She did an amazing job and the perm looks AMAZING! She was very patient and made sure I got what I was looking for. Sweet lady and very easy to have conversation with. Will definitely be coming back for another visit.

It’s been a few days since my digital perm and I’m so in love with the transformation of my hair. Everything took a little less than 4 hours and the whole time, I felt I was being taken care of. The staff were all so warm, courteous, and professional. Steve was exceptional in making sure my hair was just how I wanted it. He gave great insight into the perm process and how to take care of my hair afterwards. It’s costly but it’s very much worth it for me as my previous digital perm lasted around 9 months. I highly recommend this salon and I’m for sure coming back! Update after 4 months: I love how low maintenance my hair has been outside of washing my hair twice a week and using JVN air dry cream. The curls aren’t as pronounced on one side but it still looks beautiful to me. The most recent photo is my hair mostly dried after showering. I’m interested in experimenting with braiding my hair at night after using the hair cream because it seemed like it accentuated the waves last time I tried it! Thanks again, Steve!

I can really recommend Kevin! He did such a great job! Never felt more comfortable with my hair!

Steve King has been taking care of my hair for about 15 years, cuts, color, etc. He's skilled, artistic, and nice. Everyone who works in this shop is really great. My boyfriend, also a client, says Steve is a hair sculptor.

My experience at Salonhqz Inc with Steve Kong was really great. Earlier this year, I decided to get a perm for the first time and, safe to say, I had a bad experience. Because of this, I wasn't very hopeful when trying to find the right place and person for my second perm. At Salonhqz Inc, Steve and his staff were welcoming and accommodating from the get-go. Throughout the entire process, Steve kept me engaged by explaining to me what he was doing and why he was doing it during each step of the perm process. He also made sure to ask me for my opinion and if I had any questions/concerns during each step as well. In the end, my perm turned out to be much better than I could have hoped for; I left the salon incredibly satisfied with Steve and his work. I would 11/10 recommend this place to everyone, especially guys who are looking to get a perm for the first time and are on the fence, have difficulty finding a good hairstylist, and/or simply looking to change up their hairstyle. Rest assured that you will be in good hands with Steve and his staff! *update (4/8/24): I've had a total of three perms with Steve since my initial review, and, safe to say, that I'm still one very satisfied customer.

Steve Kong is the best hair stylist in Chinatown/Soho. He's been doing my hair for over 30 years, when I was just a little kid. He's been the stylist for my family for 4 separate generations. I don't go to anyone else for my haircut.

Been coming here for 3 years for Kevin. Great service and great work done by him every time. Kevin’s Instagram: @xskevin_hair

Get an appointment with Poh Yee PLEASE, her attention to detail when cutting your hair is actually amazing. She even asked me for headshots first so she can think about what to do for my hair. The staff is really friendly and professional. You can tell they are really honest about their work.
Feb 05, 2024
Got a wave perm, seamless process that I'm very satisfied with. Highly recommend 👌
Feb 05, 2024
Got my hair permed by Kevin. Glad I made the decision! Haircut and perm look great. He was very informative about how to style my hair moving forward and throughly explained aftercare treatment. Would highly recommend.

Hair stylist Pho Yee did a great job getting the hair style I wanted. I showed her a photo and she would find other photos that are similar to it. She was kind and friendly. She was wonderful hair stylist I ever had.

I absolutely loved my experience working with Professor Steve Kong and Ken. My color came out better than I imagined, they knew exactly what to do with my hair. They worked quick and efficiently and created a custom toner for my hair. I would reccomend to anyone for perfect cuts and colors
Feb 05, 2024
I had an amazing experience w Kevin!! I had blonde peekaboo that has grown out quite a lot, and I wanted my whole head to be burgundy without bleach. I've never had a good hair salon experience so I was pretty anxious coming in. Kevin was really patient in explaining the process from start to finish. He took his time and reassured me throughout the whole process. I'm super happy with the results!

I have to change my hair color and hairstyle, hoping that the new look will be fresher and more beautiful in summer. My good friends especially recommend Kevin Huang, a top hairstylist with 16 years of professional and passion for hairstyling management, rich experience and high hairstyling skills. From the moment I arrived, they all cared about how you like the new hair design, breaking down the current trendy hair collection styles, hair color matching skin tone, hair length matching face shape, hair dyeing effect and his depth and professional hair design knowledge, This time, my new hairstyle and hair tone range from deep to medium Ash, which complements my skin tone and temperament well and makes me feel confident. I am so lucky to have met a top hair stylist with professional experience and patience. Do you want a new hair design? Try a different professional hair styling! Katy 中文: 我都要轉變髮色調與髮型,希望在夏季新形像更清新美麗。 我好朋友特別推薦Kevin Huang 一位16年專業與熱愛髮型設計管理、豐富經驗有很高髮型設計技術頂級髮型設計師。 從我到達那刻起,他們都是關心您的如何喜歡新款髮型設計、分解現在潮流髮集專款式髮色配合膚色、髮絲長短配面型、髮型染色出來效果與他具有深度與專業髮型設計知識, 今次我的新髮型與髮色調由深度至中度medium Ash,視覺好襯托我的膚色與氣質,令我充滿自信。 我好幸運能夠遇到一位專業經驗耐心頂級髮型設計師. 您想換個新髮型設計嗎?嘗試不一樣的專業髮型設計吧!

I was so blessed to be able to work with Steve today! He was so kind and got my hair from auburn red to blonde and a sick mullet!! I am so happy with the results I 100% recommend!!
Feb 05, 2024
Kevin made my hair goal dreams come true!! I had multiple different colors going on but with Kevin being a master colorist, he was able to blend it all together. I absolutely love the final result and my hair is still hanging on!
Feb 05, 2024
MAKE SURE TO ASK FOR KEVIN!! This was my first time ever bleaching my hair and Kevin made the experience so easy. We had a a small consultation of basically what I was looking to get and he recommended me some steps to take (like root shadowing so i don't damage my scalp). I absolutely love the final look and I'm recommending him to everyone cause WOW.

Poh Yee is the best stylist I’ve ever been to. Super friendly and kind and did my hair beautifully.
Feb 05, 2024
This is not a fake review in case anyone is weary of high google ratings like I am. I have known Steve for years and I won't go anywhere else for color work in NYC. He is a professional and a deeply caring and authentic person. It is not cheap to get your hair done here, but he does not charge unfair prices for the work he does. I also like the ladies he works with. They are very friendly and warm. I quite like the low key environment of the salon yet exceptional professionalism it offers. I highly recommend Steve Kong.

Great and amazing experience w Kevin. Had a haircut and light perm of my hair.

Here is a fantastic, extremely underrated hair salon in Soho! I had a wonderful coloring experience here with Steve Kong. His and the whole staff’s professionalism really shone through. I asked for blue hair and Steve brought so much to the table, showing me various approaches we could take and how the colors would change over time. The result is stunning and I’ve never been so obsessed with my hair. Also had such a warm experience with the other staff who were helping to dye my hair and felt a lot of connection to them. I would highly recommend this salon to anyone looking to get their hair done 😊

I had a phenomenal experience getting a perm at Salonhqz. Kevin was incredibly knowledgeable, attentive, and walked me through every step. I loved how detail oriented he was, and he showed me exactly how to style and take care of my hair long term. The experience was incredible, everyone was super friendly and welcoming and I definitely will come back after 6 months to get another!
Feb 05, 2024
I had my hair done by Kevin! Kevin dyed my hair before and he the only person I would trust to do my hair. His professionalism is amazing and he knows what he’s doing. I would always go to Kevin, if I ever wanted to dye my hair. He understand the color theory so well and the way he transformed my hair amazed me. He the absolute best!!
Feb 05, 2024
I highly recommend Kevin at Salon HQZ. I've been going to Kevin for over a year now and I always recommend him to any of my friends. He's really great at working with you to help you achieve the hairstyle you want, whether it be in one session or two or three (if the hairstyle you want is drastically different or longer). He also genuinely cares about hair health and doesn't provide services he thinks will damage your hair or scalp. Kevin always takes his time and I always leave feeling great; I've been searching for a great barber/salon for a long time and this is my go-to, especially at such a fair price.

Steve always does a perfect job.

Steve has been doing my hair since I moved to NYC three years ago and my hair has turned out fantastic every time. This is the most recent balayage and cut that Steve did for me. He is clearly a coloring expert and knows what he’s talking about. Last year when I went blonde, my hair never turned brassy (as it did before when I went to other stylists). This year, I wanted to do something a little more subtle and a month later, my hair still looks great (I get oily so I need to wash my hair every other day). He’s very detailed and really takes his time! Steve is also very educational and has taught me a lot about how to tone (even down to what shades to purchase) and how to style my hair. I highly recommend Steve if you’re looking for a stylist!

This has to be one of the best hair salon in SOHO. Kevin who was my hairdresser was not only nice and polite, he is also very passionate in the work he do. My hair feels fresh and silky smooth. I highly recommend kevin and this hair salon if you're looking for a place to get your hair done.
Feb 05, 2024
This salon is amazing. Kind, truly talented people. My son has gotten his hair permed twice and the results have been nothing but perfection. Steve is an artist. If you bring him what you want, he will copy it exactly. And explain all the details!

I had a digital perm by Poh and it was great. She also diligently trimmed my hair and I really loved how it shaped my face. Poh has 20+ years’ worth of experience, and I am never disappointed with my haircuts from her.
Feb 05, 2023
I have been coming to Steve for 5 plus years. He is the only one I know without fail will cut and style my hair exactly how I envision it. The first time I showed up he had so much knowledge about hair care and how to help maintain my hair I was blown away at the improvements it made to my hair. No matter where I move in the city I always travel to Steve for my haircut. Highly recommend a 10/10 experience

I've been a client of Steve Kong for many years. He is professional, kind, warm, and thoughtful, and it shows in the entire salon and experience. Steve gets to know your hair better than you. He knows exactly what to do with my hair and I've never been disappointed. I appreciate the way he cuts and colors my hair perfectly. I always get compliments about how healthy and beautiful my hair looks. I've had other stylists and apprentices at the salon helping to color, wash, and dry my hair and always had a good experience. You can tell the other stylists are trained well based on the leadership of Steve. The entire team at Salonhqz is friendly and warm. I won't ever go anywhere else for my hair!

If you’re looking for someone who is thorough, knowledgeable and personable, steve is your guy for that! I was never one to get my hair done, but a friend recommended and I’ve been coming here ever since. Steve will make sure he delivers what’s a fit for you and what you asked for, if not better. Pricing is reasonable and the quality lives up to it as well!
