About

MEY New York is a hair and nail salon on East 3rd Street in New York City. The stylists have lived in the city since 2015. The name comes from a Japanese phrase about giving something one's full effort, and the salon says its aim is to leave clients looking better than they expected.

The salon is split across two floors with different moods. The first floor is white and clean. The basement is vintage and lounge-like, with music from the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s. A vintage clothing shop called meynewyork_base operates inside the salon, according to the salon's site.

Services cover color, cuts, hair care, perms and nails. Color work includes root touch-ups, single color, partial and full highlights, ombre and balayage, and bleaching at several hair lengths. Cuts are priced by stylist level, with bangs cuts also available. Hair care treatments include an Olaplex treatment, moisturizing treatments in three- and five-step versions, and the Bykarte treatment. Perms include cold perms and Japanese straight perms on roots or full hair. Nail options run from a single color manicure to full sets with art on every nail.

Prices depend on the time and work required and on who the client books with. Exact menu prices are listed on the booking platform, and color or process totals are confirmed after clients email photos of their current hair and the result they want. Appointments cancelled or moved within 24 hours are charged in full. Clients who arrive more than 20 minutes late may have their appointment rescheduled or cancelled. Clients can contact the salon within 7 days of a hair visit to book an adjustment appointment.

The salon works from a commitment to full effort on every appointment, with the stated goal of leaving each client happier with their look than they expected.

A bright, clean first floor sits above a vintage, lounge-style basement that plays 1950s to 1970s music.
