Won Woo Yun Hair Shop Center

I came here for a haircut and she is absolutely just beautiful and so kind. Prices are fair and she is very understanding and so sweet! I’m satisfied with my hair and I had long hair! I was always concerned about having short hair cuz I always thought I would look ugly in it but she made it beautiful! Go to her now if you want to get to change your hair style!!! And call her before you go cuz she is busy busy!

This hair salon is definitely my go-​to spot for cutting my hair. Mrs. Woo is very accommodating and is a great stylist/​salonist. Her prices are fair and she is always detail/​quality oriented. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a new/​replacement salon for their needs.
WIFI is available to customers free of charge and you will not be disappointed with her ability to cut and style hair.

The salonist is very friendly, comfortable, and honest. This shop has fair prices as well. I got a perm for my bang and I liked it a lot. Very great experience.

I went to this place after reading great review online and I give this place bad review because it is not even close to what I expected. I think she is a good hair cutter but her attitude is weird. She is extremely good with her regular clients (who has several businesses and seems has some money to spend) but she was not very nice to me because I just wanted a haircut. She said not so nice thing about people who don’t take care of their appearances. She told me free service for front bang straight perm and she charged me after the perm. It seems like all the good reviews are too good to be true and mostly wrote by outside of NYC people. Most local people who went to this place don’t give good review.

I’ve had two bad haircuts in the past 12 years and one of them I got here. I first came here after reading the reviews to fix the first bad haircut and she fixed it fine. I was content with it so I went back. Before I went back my sister told me people were telling her that the second time you go back, if she recognizes you, she won’t do such a great job. Take that for what you will.
Anyway, when I sat down she asked me what kind of cut I wanted. I said shoulder length with layers. She said ok and said she will actually do it a bit longer because if it is at shoulder length, the layers will flip outside. So I said that was fine. She put the cape on and the cape already had hair all over it from somebody else. I thought that was gross and looking back that was the moment I should’ve gotten up and walked out.
She proceeded to cut and I thought she was cutting off more than she should but didn’t bother to say anything because going shorter wasn’t a big problem for me. As she started to cut the layers towards the front of my face, she would lift the hair above my head and let the cut hair drop all over my face — I’ve never had this happen to me before in any salon.
The end result was the length being right where my neck starts, nowhere near the «little bit below the shoulder» like she said and blunt layers. These layers are so blunt that they actually do flip outwards which she said she was avoiding. It looks like I’m wearing a helmet because the blunt layers cause my hair to be so poofy. It looks like a really bad version of the famous Jennifer Aniston Friend’s haircut. The style looks VERY outdated. I want to also mention that she never brushed the hair that she dropped all over my face with the sponge when she was done cutting my hair. She told me to leave the money anywhere I wanted if I didn’t need change and went to eat lunch with her friend. When I left the salon I had hair all over face.
I gave her three stars instead of 2 because she did fix the bad first bad haircut I had. This is what I get for being too lazy to go to my regular stylist, Kenny at Kpop Star Hair — formerly Fox Hair Studio on Roosevelt Ave. He has never done me wrong in the 10 years that I have been seeing him.
She also has a lot of her friends visiting the salon and she talks to them non-​stop. It is very exhausting listening to her talk to them for the entire time you are there. This could also be why she cut my hair so badly, she wasn’t paying attention while she was talking to her friends.

Came back here second time and service is ask good as always~~ this time came back with hubby, he had hair cut too and he loved it. He has very curly hair and always difficult to manage and cut. My mom has become regular and so have we~. Just recommend to come earlier during morning or early afternoon hours. Gets very busy in the evening.

My girlfriend loves to go here. She made this place as her official hair salon. She’s comfortable with Ms. Won Woo Yun and trust her with her hair. I don’t mind driving her to this salon. Just as long she’s happy.
But please do make sure to call her first before you go there.
Wi-​fi is free everyone.

I went back today to get a haircut. It’s my third time here and she recognized me! Well, this time, I wanted a haircut that would make my face look slimmer. She said it looked so round and fat because my hair was flat. If it had more volume, then my face would look much longer and slimmer.
I thought maybe I could get layers to achieve that look, but she looked at the texture of my hair and said that it doesn’t suit my hair’s texture, which often looks messy and unruly when it isn’t blow dried. Instead, she opted to do a perm to lift the roots of my crown and cut layers on the side of my head.
I was afraid the perm would damage my hair. It turns out she makes the perm solution herself so she knows exactly what’s in it! She even puts vitamins in it to make the hair come out shiny and smooth.
I loved the result! I feel like a new person and like those women you find in magazines.
Everyone’s hair is different and she definitely knows how to work with what you have. Her service is excellent too. I came inside feeling really cold and she offered me a heating pad. She also offered me coffee and food while I waited, which I refused. And the haircut is $ 30, with $ 10 extra for the perm.
She charged much less for the perm because it was just a sample to see if I would like it first. If you do the whole head, the cost depends on your length. Slightly below the shoulder is $ 100, haircut included. A few inches longer would be $ 120 — you’ll have to ask her for a quote.
I’m a generous tipper (always over 20%) and for what she did, I wish I brought more money today to give her more. Bring extra money and book an appointment on a weekday when she’s less busy, so she can focus more on you than on other clients. And if you’re going to be a no show, at least have the courtesy to call and tell her because she loses business when she has to reject walk-​ins because of you!

I went to this hair salon because I read many great reviews from Unilocal just like most people on here. and its the same thing, she made me wait for a long long long time to the point I wanted to walk out but I really needed a haircut. She said it was her day off and she didn’t have any assistant work for her that day, thats why it took a long time. She was ‘helping’ an old korean lady getting a hair cut and a perm and ofcourse talked and talked…
She did give a desent hair cut with long layers, and kept telling me that I need a roots perm? I read someone on here who got design perm from her, maybe thats the same thing, she told me it would be only $ 30, but I didn’t do it because of the time.
I am not sure if I would go back for another cut because I am not a big fan of waiting and also I just need a hair cut instead of making friends there.
Overall, I would say if you don’t mind waiting and be talkitive then you should try her.

It was a very bad experience. She told me
To come at 940am and I got there on time and she didn’t acknowledge me and while I decided to leave she just simply ask if I had appointment! Very bad customer service. Will not go back again.

Thanks to the many reviews on here I decided to get my hair cut by MRS Won. I wanted a pretty drastic cut and showed him a couple of pictures and he knew exactly what I wanted. I love my new cut. It’s a little shorter than I had originally wanted but it looks great. Will definitely go back here in the future.

I disliked the service and woman at the establishment to write this review.
She seems to be well liked by middle aged and elderly women. But if you are not part of that demographic, she’ll screw you over and make you wait for longer periods for walkins who come in without an appointment. Seriously, I stupidly waited 2+ hours.
A friend who walked in with me asked about the use of sensitive chemicals in the ‘special’ straightening service (which of course cost extra $) because she was prone to allergic reactions. She paid extra and still got the same reaction if she paid less for an ‘unspecial’ treatment.
A lot of the middle aged Korean women who run hair salons in Flushing use their appearance & short skirts to draw in clients. Hair salons are part of the beauty industry and we all know that’s all about selling an image. That’s fine, I don’t knock anyone’s game for trying to survive and make a living. What I do have a problem with is her propensity to make insulting remarks about other people’s physical appearance. When confronted, she eventually apologized but not without a groan inducing «.you are too sensitive»
If you have five more dollars and/​or speak English, take that to Infore or Cinderella to get your hair cut. If you need pricer hair treatment, go to the smaller salons like Seven on the corner of 149^th & Northern and negotiate.
With hair salons dotting every block from Roosevelt to Long Island servicing Asian hair, there is no need to wait hours to be insulted by the woman who runs this establishment here.

I went to Mrs. Won after the lady at Professional Hair Designs (located in Roosevelt Field Mall) butchered the living crap out of my hair. Thank goodness for Unilocal,I found her through this site.
After 3 sessions, Mrs. Won completely fixed the asymmetrical layers that were done previously by the other salon. She didn’t cut too much on the first session because she thought I might go into a hair shock. Given how distraught I was when I first went to her, I don’t blame her. She has a great sense of how my hair flowed and cuts responsibly. Overall, I trust her with my hair.
As far as the salon itself, it’s very clean and comfortable. Mrs. Won is very nice, chatty, and has a genuine intention of making your hair look good. I tend to go to her around noon time on a Saturday and she’d have a few clients waiting for her already. Being that she’s the only hairdresser, be prepared for the wait. The wait itself is not bad, I’ve waited an hour the most, but being patient is worth it.

I scheduled an appointment for 10am, but came about 20 minutes late due to the traffic I wasn’t used to, since I’m not from NYC.
My mom and I asked for a Japanese magic perm. A Guatemalan assistant washed my hair and I waited for about 30 minutes to start getting the process rolling.
Long story short, she was really busy so the whole process (me doing the magic perm and color hair manicure, and my mom just getting the magic, and both of us with trims) took a total of 9 hours.
Those 9 hours are the only reason why I’m giving this review 4 stars. I’ve gotten the same treatment done before and it took about 2.5 hours so 9 is a bit ridiculous for me. I understand she ha a lot of clients coming in, and she is most meticulous, but still, 9?!
Otherwise, I am IN LOVE with my hair. I walked in looking damaged, frizzy, overdyed hair and walked out with a glossy, straight, a red-​ish brown look!
She cut my bangs in a choppy straight-​across way. I literally just told her to so whatever she wants with my hair, and that’s the best decision I’ve ever made in a hair salon. She knows exactly what to do, perfectly suited just for you. She’s so nice, beautiful, and is capable of having great conversations.
Side note: if you’re not Korean, expect a little bit of a language barrier. I didn’t have this problem because my mom and I are fluent, but I heard her talking to a client on the phone in English and could tell she has a bit of a hard time getting her point across.
Her assistant, who she called Florida (but I’m not sure if that’s her real name) is really shy but sweet. She had to wash my hair 4 times during the procedure and she was very thorough, just how I like it.
For my mom’s hair cut and perm, and my perm, hair manicure, and trim, it cost $ 350.
Overall, a FANTASTIC result at a pretty good price and not-​so-​good duration.
I would definitely go again.

Wow. Hands down one of the best haircuts I’ve ever received!
Called in last minute yesterday to see if Mrs. Woo Yun had any time to give me a quick trim, she said 5:30 (it was 5:05) so I darted out the door in my gym clothes. It was my first time there and in all honesty, I was nervous as heck. I had her squeeze me in last minute… so all I kept thinking was. would she take her time, would she rush me. Etc.
Well her 6:00 appt. ended up coming in before me so she went ahead and did the girl’s hair first. I was okay with this because I got to sit down and really see how she worked. LOVE! She trimmed the girl’s hair without sacrificing length and cut off all the dead ends/​shaped it beautifully!
Next: my turn! Sat down. and decided that I would take a leap of faith and let her chop all my hair off! (I had hair down to my butt! Let her cut off a good 12 inches! Haven’t had short hair in over 12 years)
What I told her I wanted: Short. Stylish… Young
Her response: Okay. with a huge warm smile! :)
She spent an hour and a half working on my hair with a gajillion different techniques I’ve never seen. so passionate and confident with what she was doing! I was pretty concerned about how the cut would work with my face. especially because of the texture of my hair (I have an odd not so pretty natural wavy/​nappy hair texture. even though I’m Korean (kkop-​seul-​moree). But she kept smiling and reassuring me that it would be beautiful!
End result: MAGIC!!! She used the texture of my hair to create a naturally sassy short hair cut that’s slightly A symmetrical! Not like a traditional A-​line cut but similar. more flattering and fit to my face! The best part!!! She didn’t use any product/​straightener or even a brush to style my hair! It was a simple blow dry and done! I’m so used to being disappointed at salons. because stylists tend to make your cut look 300x better with product/​hair styling that’s nearly impossible to replicate! But not here!!!
Walked in feeling drab… Walked out feeling like the sexiest girl on earth! I have found my forever home! Will be back! Mrs. Woo Yun is no hair stylist. She’s a master hair designer!!! Highly recommend!

I will be back! I found this place while searching Unilocal for a hairstylist that’s good and affordable, and Mrs. Won is much more than that!
Super friendly and sweet, she shows genuine interest in making her clients look their best, and upon my first visit, even offered me a free perm on my bangs (I was there for a haircut) because she knows I’ll be back for more once I give her a try. Sure enough… it looked very nice and I will definitely be back!
Do plan to spend some time here though, I arrived super duper early in the morning from NYC and the whole process still took about 3 hours. But you’ll enjoy your time here — the conversations and laughter really makes for a welcoming stay.

It’s so much fun here! Won encouraged me to have a chat with the other patrons in the shop, and turns out that the other two were Unilocalers as well.
Won is great for socializing but keep in mind that she’s a 1-​woman business and if you haven’t made your appointment in advance, you’re going to have a long wait. It’s very typical to be in the salon for at least 3 hours on a weekend for a cut and blow-​out. Call a couple of days in advance at least, and don’t forget to make sure you bring a snack for Won because she often works right through breakfast and lunch so you can get an awesome styling.
Cash only!

For the first time I was getting my hair permed. I have asian hair… it does not curl… But I went to Mrs. Woo because of all the high ratings. After 2 hours my hair was curly, but the curls went away really quickly. Mrs. Woo was super nice and suggested to go back to get it done again.
I have not met someone who’s more passionate about her/​his work than Mrs. Woo. She loves what she does, and that makes a huge difference in both customer service and her work. I will definitely be coming back!

I came here to get a haircut after reading the other reviews on Unilocal.Thanks, girls! Mrs. Won is fabulous! She gave me a layered haircut that looked amazing and didn’t look too choppy. She also gave my mom a hip and nice haircut. Best of all, mrs. Won is super nice and has your best interest at heart. She totally concentrated on cutting your hair properly and gave me undivided attention despite who and how many people came in. She catered to my mom and even gave her some plants she was growing because my mom wanted them. I absolutely love her! Also she’s sooo sexy! Can you believe she’s 50!!! I will definitely be going back to her!

I love this place!
I was introduced here by my aunt, who’s very meticulous and hard to please when it comes to her hair.
I was looking to drastically change my old layered look, so I came all the way out to flushing (I live in Long Island) to have my hair done by Mrs. Won. In addition, I went to the same woman who cut my hair for 7 years, and after she retired, I never found anyone who kept me satisfied.
I got my hair cut, and permed here. I have frizzy, semi curly hair, so she suggested that I magic perm the top and design perm the rest. I took the leap of faith and allowed her to do whatever she wanted and it came out amazingly, I have a mid-​length cut that falls down into loose waves.
She charged me 160 for the magic + design perm + cut (I also had to wash out my hair 3 times in the process), and I think it was totally worth it. She’s also very entertaining, a bit flamboyant, but very very nice.
Make sure to call ahead though to schedule; there was a lot of wait time for the other customers who came in while I was doing my hair; she runs the place by herself.
I also showed her this business on Unilocal,and she was really happy that she had positive reviews from other customers. Make sure to leave more ratings after you visit her!
