Horrible. I told him I needed to leave by a certain time and he kept me there for FIVE hours. The guy took forever to do the color, and left me to cool my heals for an hour while he worked on other customers, who also had to wait around. He and his assistant pulled my hair unmercifully the entire time, despite repeated requests to be more gentle -- my scalp needs a icepack. And when, long after I'd missed the event I was supposed to attend, he finally got around to cutting my hair, he did barely anything and didn't even style it. I was left, after five hours, walking out of there with boring color and wet hair. A total waste of money.

I've never been so happy
I have struggled with the color and life of my frizzy hair my whole life. Since I 've been going to kuku, I've learned what color to maintain and how to care for my hair. The owner, takes his time so that highlights and color looks natural and usually recommends a very hrlpful treatment. Like I said, I've never been so happy. The atmosphre is also nice... good music and good company

Always a satisfied customer...best blond highlights I have ever had!
I have been THRILLED with my blond hair since going to Sean Schindler, aka "Dr Blond," after being referred to him by a friend. In fact, I not only have the best color and style I could ever even imagine (and I have baby fine hair which is definitely not easy to manage or maintian) but I also have the healthiest hair and best blond highlights ever! Sean has showed me everything I was missing when it came to highlights and conditioning treatments and I will never go anywhere else! I even sent my Mom to Kuku and now she travels from DC to NYC just to have her hair done!

Friendly environment, best highlights and cut I've ever had...best service and latest and greatest hair technologies Manhattan has to offer!
I consider myself to be an expert in beauty and haircare and I have found the BEST salon for color, cuts and makeup in NYC. KUKU made my my hair look and feel AMAZING, and for a fraction of what I pay to be a "Bergdorf Blond."

WORTH EVERY PENNY! Worth the trip from Maryland to NYC!
My hair is incredibly thick and course, and hardly "takes" color in when highlighted in the past. Luckily, my daughter introduced me to Sean at KuKu Salon on the Upper East Side. Now, my hair has soft and beautiful blond highlights and the cut is ideal for my lifestyle, (ps he covers grays exceptionally well)

NEVER BEEN HAPPIER WITH MY COLOR! THUMBS UP, BEST SERVICES WITH PERSONAL ATTENTION AND CARE
I have fabulous things to say about Sean Schindler, his wife Elle and their Salon KUKU. I have been a loyal client for 4 1/2 years and refuse to go anywhere else. Imagine finding that place where the people actually take the time and effort to consider what you need for your individual hairtype-this is what KuKu does best.

VaVaVaVoom!!!!!
I've lived on the Upper East side for 7 years, always passing KuKu for one reason or another. I'm a working Mom with very little time for myself, so if I need highlights, I needed them yesterday. I called KuKu based on the user reveiws and because my regular guy wasn't available, and then I wasn't available to see him for another three weeks and there was no way I was going to not have highlights for another three weeks. I did a search for the best blond highlights and KuKu came up. I took a chance and the fact that Sean was ready to take me, the next day at 10:45am when I called the night before at 8pm sealed the deal! The place is unassuming, plain, but cute. The brick wall adds a bit of character, but who needs character over amazing highlights. I was in his hands. I had faith, never wavering from his expertise. Honestly, I have to say, he did the best blond full head of highlights I've ever had. I feel divine, they look amazing, my hair is soft. He did exactly what I wanted and more. He uses Kerastase, which is an excellent hair care line. I ended up buying the shampoo and conditioner and love it. It's been a week now and I love looking at my hair in the mirror. I feel great, my hair looks great and I'm definitely going back. I'm hooked on Sean's color. He is amazing! I highly recommend him.

This guy is Delusional
Kuku is closed and Sean is working at a salon on Madison. I went to Kuku because I moved to the neighborhood and needed a colorist. He has always been just barely good enough not to go through the hassle of finding somewhere else to go. I'll go for highlights (full head $200 before tip) and have to go back almost every time for him to fix them because he rushed and the color is 1/4 inch away from the roots, or he let the color get blotchy, or, my favorite, he's made it way a color so many shades lighter than we ever discussed. He constantly walks away and takes personal phone calls, always cursing, and constantly bragging about the pornstar hair he does - like anyone is impressed by that. Recently asked - and don't ask me why, I must have woken up crazy that day - what his prices would be for my upcoming wedding to do my hair. Rediculous. $600 for a simple chignon and $200 for each trial and $150 just for a blowout for bridesmaid, and $200 for an updo for bridesmaids. This guy thinks he's Vidal Sasoon or something. He clearly has a VERY incorrect perception of his own skills. I almost laughed aloud when I heard that pricing. Needless to say, he will not being doing my hair for my wedding, and I have stopped going to him for any services, period. What a joke this guy is.About this listing: Information on this page may be sourced from business owners, public records, and trusted data partners. 2findlocal provides these details to help users discover local businesses and services.
