Profile

Ming Chiu’s salon might not have the design panache of more expensive places, but his work more than makes up for the lack of frills. Chiu has been cutting hair for fifteen years, and before even picking up his scissors he listens carefully as you describe what you have in mind, whether it’s a cautious trim or a radical change. His cuts are consistently impeccable, the La-Z-Boy–style recliners at the washing stations take the strain out of your neck, and the green-tea shampoos always come with a nice long scalp massage. A wash and cut is $30 to $35; with blow-dry, it starts at $45 and can go up to $60 for very long hair.

Today, I got a haircut for the first time in seven months, so you can imagine the awful condition it was in (it was bent at ANGLES). Ming took the time to work out a good style, that both fit what I was TRYING to explain (he understood it before I did), made it work with both my hair type and face shape, and was very polite the whole time. I'm extremely happy with this cut, which is something to say because the last few cuts (another one in NYC, and one from my hometown stylist) haven't been all that super. For the price I paid for my haircut, I'm ecstatic! I definitely recommend Tease!

I am the owner of Post Industrial Hair. Please do not confuse Tease and Post Industrial Hair, we are not affiliated and never have been. I had an exclusive hair salon for 18 years on the second floor at the same location as Tease, but they arrived in the storefront shortly before I left. Please see postindustrialhair.com for more information. Thank you. Diane Jeep Ries
