Michelle Lou So happy that an Asian hair salon has opened up in this area of Brooklyn! I’ve gone to Keiji twice now for hair coloring (which I’ve been wanting to do for a long time, but was hesitant bc of hair health and maintenance), and have been delighted with results both times. Actually about to head in for my 3rd session w him for touch up.
For context, I was a first-timer starting out with virgin black hair and wanted to go to a very light ashy purple. Keiji was really great throughout the whole process. When I made the initial appointment, he reached out via email to talk about my desired hairstyle. He also answered all my questions about bleaching and talked me through the steps for double process hair coloring. I felt like he was really attentive in his preparation.
Once we got to the actual appointment, Keiji took his time to explain toner colors and considerations for going lighter. I wanted to go for a very light color, which he told me would require a double bleach and my hair might not be able to handle it. He was very transparent and upfront about what was possible, which I appreciated. And then when picking toner colors, I specified I wanted a light ashy purple, not saturated, not dark, and Keiji explained the different possibilities and pros/cons of going darker at first and how toner color would lighten over time. The whole time I felt like Keiji was really patient and careful about making sure I got the hairstyle I wanted, while being honest about longevity and potential hair damage.
Overall, I’ve been really happy w U&K and highly recommend it to anybody considering it. The salon itself is very clean and airy with lots of light, and Keiji really takes his time to style your hair. Never felt rushed at all. Plus, when I went in for my 2nd appointment, Keiji remembered me and had notes for everything we’d done previously! So great to have your hairstylist remember your preferences and not having to explain everything all over again.
(PS this salon is cash only so remember to visit the ATM before coming here)

Pauline P Samer is a super talented cut specialist! We communicated about my visions and he expertly cut my hair to be low-maintenance, which works best for me! The salon is calm and serene and Im looking forward to going back for my next cut!

Ariana Sisti I went to Keiji based on a recommendation from my cousin whose haircut was super cute. I was nervous because I quite literally had been gotten my haircut by the same person since middle school (22 years), and I am very particular about my hair. I showed him inspiration photos and described what I wanted and what I wanted to avoid. Keiji did a fantastic job, my haircut looks fantastic. He was able to achieve a great balance of what I asked for and what he thought was appropriate for my hair and face. My hair is in a short bob, so style and symmetry are super important. I couldnt be happier! Also he is just a very pleasant man, and is super friendly. I 100% recommend Keiji! Before and after photos are below

Nicole Martucci I recently had the pleasure of visiting U&K Salon and I must say, it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The salon was impeccably clean and well-maintained.
The staff were incredibly professional and knowledgeable. I felt completely at ease in their capable hands, knowing that they were dedicated to providing top-notch service.
Thank you to the wonderful team at U&K salon I will definitely be returning in.
