Honestly I don't know what I would do if Hiroki at N15 didn't cut my hair! my hair would either be a massive nest of matted dreadlocks or completely shaved off if it were all left up to me.
I'm quite preoccupied with my hair lately and I was going through some issues and bad feelings due to a not so great hair coloring experience I had at another salon that left my hair looking ill-bleached orangey and extremely frizzy and dry, so I decided to cut that shit off.
I showed Hiroki some pictures of what styles intrigued me and right away he asked me about my colour and how I was feeling about it in his polite Japanese way. I didn't even have to explain how traumatized I was about my bad color job, it's like he knew why I was there and what needed to be done and he got to work cutting artfully like the pro that he is.
Admittedly I was a little miffed that my hair was cut a little too short but can I tell you, it's been 3 weeks since the cut and my hair is perfect!!! like almost exactly the same as the pictures I showed Hiroki and even better yet it's soooo low maintenance I just wash and go (maybe add a little texturing product) and I couldn't be happier.
I have to mention I've noticed a few yelpers complaining about the price for his haircuts, I personally think it's well worth it! If you were to continue 5 minutes north of N15 towards Yorkville you can easily expect to pay $150 ish for a similar haircut experience, I paid $70 so yeah I'm pretty stoked about it.
This is my 3rd haircut at N15 and I'm happy to say I won't hesitate to come back for Hiroki's and N15's wonderful hair services.
