Yelp.com Review - by Evan K.

5.0 of 5 stars. Since I have really curly hair I have to go to a salon. I can't go to barbers who just wet your hair with a spray thing and commence to tear your hair out with a comb. I happened upon this St. Marks...

Mao is a genius

A friend of mine got her haircut by Mao and the results were so amazing that I had to go to her too. She spent two hours meticulously cutting my hair (both wet and dry) and did a phenominal job. The haircut...

Asian Hair Salon by Alexandra L. at InsiderPages

While the English of the staff is not too great, the hair cutting is. The store is stuck between a pizza place and another restaurant and doesn't seem like anything special. But if you have fine hair, this is...

great salon!

I always get my hair cut with Jin. He is very nice and always spends a lot of time on my cut and style. I've gone to several pricey salons since moving here, but hair mates is my favorite.
