MEY New York — Japanese hair salon in the East Village

MEY on East 3rd Street is a Japanese-style hair salon that carries the maker’s motto — warm in spirit, cool in style. It brings precise Japanese cutting, color and straightening craft to a small, personal East Village room.

Services

The menu covers cutting and color from root touch-ups and single color to highlights, balayage, ombré and bleach, plus Japanese perms including cold perm and Japanese straight perm. Conditioning treatments and a gel nail service round out the offering.

Technology & brands

Care runs on Olaplex bond treatment, Platinum deep-moisturizing therapy and Bykarte, a specialist salon treatment from the Japanese cosmetics house Hoyu, alongside Japanese thermal straightening for smooth, lasting results.

Team & masters

Owner stylist Suguru leads the room, joined by master stylists Nozomi and Kiyo, director stylist Masa and vice-president Gon — a tight, senior Japanese team.

The Space

The salon is an intimate East Village studio with a calm, craft-driven feel that matches its Japanese sensibility rather than a busy high-street floor.

Who it’s for

For clients who want authentic Japanese cutting and straightening, natural, well-judged color, and the option to add a gel manicure in one visit.
