I came here for my first ever Rochester haircut! I generally get my hair cut when I visit NYC, since the folks in Flushing really know Asian hair and do a great job without breaking the bank.
Thanh (or Leena, as she is also called) saves me that trip all the way down to the city! She has been cutting hair for 25 years, 10 of which were here in the US. She's got confidence in her technique, and plenty of sass to match. I saw that a lot of people brought in photos of haircuts to show her. She knows what looks good, and how to make it happen. She keeps a nice conversation going during your appointment.
I called the morning of (on a Friday) and got an afternoon appointment. I'd imagine it gets way easier during after work hours, so plan ahead.
