Only after getting a truly atrocious cut at a well-reviewed place, do I realize what I've found here. So what if the cut took sort of longer than I expected, or that the stylist didn't completely explain what he was going to do before starting. The product was amazing. I went to Ueno in September, after a brutal hair butcher cut off nearly half of my hair, utterly miserable and convinced there was no way to fix that mess up. Well, somehow, it was fixed. I think the process showed true talent and imagination. The reason the cut took a bit longer was because the stylist would stop after every few snips, in the beginning, to look at where he was going. The style I left with was the most flattering my hair has ever been. I was an idiot not to go back (hey, I have to transfer trains to get to Ueno).
Pros: Patient, talented staff; cozy atmosphere; tip envelopes! I can't stand places where the staff hang over your shoulder, waiting for a tip--I love the discretion of Ueno.
Cons: None, it's cheap, it's cute, it's fabulous
