Tomoko Shima Hair Salon Downtown w14st, New York NY

Life changing service and experience from Masakisan. Beautiful transformation done with the best care. Recommended to all

I just had the 50 minute head spa experience with Masaki yesterday. It was heavenly! I left with my head literally feeling 10 pounds lighter. Great massage and my hair and scalp felt so clean afterwards. This is something I would definitely do again. Highly recommend!

Very, very odd experience with this salon. I booked the appointment and it was confirmed, but six days before the appointment Toki messaged me saying he was feeling sick and would not be keeping the appointment - yes, six days out. No offer to reschedule and no response when I inquired about it. I’ve never experienced this before. YMMV.

My cousin and I were visiting from out of town and thought we would check them out. The head spa done by Grace and Yukari was definitely a highlight of our trip! A great/relaxing experience overall which left our scalps feeling super light. We hope to be back soon - thank you!

Grace gave my long over due COVID long hair a trim last year, and my hair looked fresh and newly cut for the 9 months following, when I had my next hair appointment. A month and a half ago I decided to try the Step Bone Cut with Tomoko, and it was so worth it. My hair feels light and full, which is what I had asked for, and people are still asking me if I get it touched up all the time. I'm so happy with my hair and that it looks new and fresh every day. I can't wait to do another head spa and when my hair grows out again, to have this salon do their magic.

Always very kind, and attentive staffs.i've gone to this salon for 5 years now.service is consistent and the salon is kept clean and neat all the time.

Tomoko was excellent! I brought in a picture of the haircut I wanted, and she executed it perfectly. Will definitely book again and also look into their other services as well.

One of the most relaxing scalp massage I've ever had! Masaki had a great rhythm, and his combination of dry massage and shampooing was perfect. So excited to return!

Best hair salon ever I got an hour long head spa by grace and it was amazing my scalp has been great. I also got a haircut from Tomoko and it was amazing it’s my first layered cut and I love it. She took her time and really personalized it. It’s almost a 3 hour journey for me but I will be going back completely worth the trip!

Thank you Grace for another lovely haircut! Your haircuts always grow out nicely and you listened so well to what I wanted. Appreciate your concentration and skill!

Grace is so meticulous and sweet. She gives a wonderful haircut! Excellent covid protocols!

I got a men's haircut with the owner, Tomoko. Absolutely amazing cut and experience, definitely recommend!

I had a great first experience here for my hour long hair spa.every minute was super relaxing and time definitely flew by! I'll definitely be back again.

Place is clean. They follow Covid-19 precautions with minimal hairstylists and customers. Love, love my hairstylist!

I had a haircut with Toki. He did a very nice cut. Exactly the way I like my hair. I will be back to him for coloring and more cuts. Great attention to detail.

Booked Mimi for an outdoor haircut, and loved my time there. Mimi is sweet, funny, and super professional. The space is clean and comfortable. Will be back. What a little gem in the neighborhood.

I wish this would catch on all over the States and not just major cities. A Japanese “head spa” should be a part of the beauty regimen. Grace was great and made my experience super relaxing. My hair and have never felt so pampered, clean and fresh. I will definitely be coming back if/when the opportunity presents itself.

Did a 30 minute head spa and cut this time around, but honestly I would come back for the head spa in between cuts. My hair feels so much cleaner and lighter and I’m more relaxed. Do not skip out on it! York did my hair and was so attentive to all the details.

Also, during the pandemic, they’re being extra safe. There was only one other appointment that only slightly overlapped with mine. And different areas of the salon are curtained off

I got a haircut from Grace and she did a fabulous job. It was a style change from long hair to short bob and she was very meticulous and did exactly what I asked for. Regarding Covid concerns, there was no one else in the salon and they take temperature upon entering. Felt very safe. Prices are also very reasonable - $60 for my haircut.
