My hair turned out so good here! I saw senada and she was very helpful. She understood what I wanted even more than I did lol. Very happy with everything and will return again! read more

Senada B did an absolutely amazing job on my hair! I am so picky with my long highlighted hair, but I needed to find somewhere closer to home to get it done. I was recommended this salon by someone in one of my Park Slope Facebook groups, and I could not be more pleased! The color, the cut, the salon itself - everything was perfect. Senada was also super sweet, knowledgeable about her craft, and knew exactly what I wanted. I trust her completely and am so thankful to have found a neighborhood salon and hair stylist / colorist. read more

My mom & I had an appointment with Stephen on Saturday & we both could not be happier with our hair. I have extremely curly, black hair and Stephen was somehow able to work his magic and give me exsctly what I wanted. I'm so happy with the results and will be returning to Stephen for all future appointments. The entire salon was great, the woman who washed my hair was the sweetest. So happy I found this place, would highly recommend if you are in NYC! FYI tips are in cash only so make sure to have some on hand, everything else you can pay with your card read more

My kids and I have been coming to Creative Hair for years and have always been happy with the cuts, color & styling we receive. Sanela knows how to bring out the best in my child's curly hair, and took nearly a foot of length off recently and giving them a new cut they absolutely loved. Stephen does an amazing job bringing the wavy bounce out when he trims my hair, and always does wonderful work with my daughter's straight layered hair. Love the woman who washes hair too - she makes me feel so pampered and relaxed. Last week, Stephen outdid himself on an extra special trim & color for my daughter, which she proudly rocked for end-of-year parties and events. She looked absolutely amazing! Everyone at Creative Hair is welcoming and friendly, and we feel very comfortable going there. read more

I have been going to this hair salon for 28 years, and if that doesn't explain my satisfaction, here it goes. John Bermudez has been my hair stylist for years. I can't say enough about his careful attention to the styles, cuts, highlights, and product advice he has given me through the years. He is able to keep my hair looking healthy and fresh. He truly has transformed my hair numerous times. I never feel rushed, and he welcomes me everytime as if I were a new client. He asks me questions about what I'm using on my hair and how often I wash, blow, and curl my hair. He offers excellent advice all while taking care of me as if I were a new client. I also recommend Jimena for mani's, pedi's, and waxing. She is meticulous! ​ read more

The client is the Priority, Stellar Service from an Amazing Stylist. "John" never disappoints, the mood is right, the time is right and my hair is always" tight"! Great experience, highly recommended! Spa. read more

I've gone here a couple of times to blow dry and dye my hair. I always leaves satisfied but this is the first time I went to have my hair bleached. I went on a Friday and it's currently Tuesday. I showed the stylist the color that I wanted and she immediately stayed that it had to be bleached. I hesitated because every time I've gone to a salon to bleach my hair, my hair always comes out damaged. The color that I wanted and the color that I got were no where close to each other. You would run your hands through my hair and you could the amount of damage that it took. My hair felt brittle I was in a rush to leave and ended up paying $320. I called to say that I wasn't happy with the color and if they could fix it. I came the next day at 8:30 where we proceeded to color my hair darker because the stylist did not seem to understand that the color I was looking for was ginger with a brownish hue. I didn't want to take another chance so I just had them dye it darker. They didn't charge me for the new dye job but they did for the blow out after. I was content with the new color but felt as though bleaching my hair from the beginning was not necessary and how $320 went down the drain. Fast forward to today, Tuesday, 11/23/21. I washed my hair and the severity of the damage hit me. Every time I ran a brush or comb through my hair, strings of hair would come out. I'm afraid to comb my hair. Parts of my hair look brittle, feel stringy and have that burnt hair look. I have spent the whole night crying because I do not know how I am going to reviver from this. I will never bleach my hair again and I will no longer be going to this hair salon. I've added pictures of the color that I wanted and the color that I got on my first visit and how my hair looks after I washed it read more

I had my first visit today and was so very lucky to have Stephen as my stylist. I have been to 4 other salons since moving to Brooklyn and not one of them has been able to give me the blonde highlights that my stylist back in New Hampshire ( stylist of 20 years) has always given me. He nailed it and I'm so happy! Stephen is an artist and great with the science of color. My hair looks and feel absolutely amazing, and the blonde is exactly what I was looking for, but could never get. He was so sweet, and his assistant gave me the best scalp massage with a nice cup of tea. I had the best experience and felt like a queen when I left. Thank you Stephen and to your amazing assistant for a great visit. I can't wait to come back! Amy H read more

Love the location !! Amazing color used !! Wella is my favorite brand , trendy and affordable place with a cool neighborhood vibe.

My sister and I were in town for a wedding and visited this salon for hair and makeup services. Sanada V. and Stephen did an amazing job. We couldn't have been more pleased with the end result. We received several compliments. Highly recommend them - very friendly, professional and skilled. read more

Creative Hair Spa went far above my expectations! I tend to be a bit more conservative when it comes to cutting my hair - I'll generally go to a salon once a year and don't get anything so drastic. Although, I've been wanting to get my hair cut quite short for a number of years and have finally taken the leap. What a great decision this was! Below is the before and after of my hair. My hairstylist, Irma (I hope I'm spelling her name right), did a wonderful job with my hair. I asked for a longer pixie/shag and she created a look that perfectly suits my face. I feel that this haircut is truly what I had hoped for. I'm beyond satisfied :) Not to mention, the woman who washed and conditioned my hair was very nice and helped me relax beforehand :) If you're considering Creative Hair Spa, I would definitely recommend them. I'll be coming back for a trim once this cut gets a tad long! read more

Senada B has been dyeing and cutting my hair exclusively for almost five years now. Her prices are reasonable, and she does a fantastic job giving me what I ask for each time. I also feel like I've gotten to know her as a friend, because she's genuinely curious about her clients and she's a great hang / great person to talk to. I'd recommend Senada to anyone, especially the girlies who wanna go blonde! read more

I had a fantastic afternoon with Steven, Dina and the team. I was made to feel relaxed and one of the family whilst they went to work on my uneven grey hair. White around the face and dark everywhere else. Steven did an amazing job evening out the grey. He explained what he was doing all the time then gave me advice on how to keep it grey and when to come back! An awesome experience and I look gorgeous! read more

Nida is excellent, my hair color is gorgeous!! The service at this salon is outstanding; everyone is great!

Most disappointing blow out of my life. I will let the photos speak for themselves. It took 2 hours (they normally take one hour, max) and my hair ended up smelling like burnt woodchips. Will have to rewash and straighten myself as soon as I get home. read more

Hubby has been working so hard and we were long overdue for a date. So I booked a much-needed and well-deserved massage. He had the deep tissue while I went Swedish. We arrived a few minutes early to check in and complete an intake form lol. The two-story spa was nice. Services included hairstyling, manicures/pedicures, and facials. Although I booked our appointments by phone with Groupon vouchers, I was never instructed to bring cash for tax and tip. Who carries paper anymore when we've got plastic smh? I saw the sign on the reception desk where the receptionist reiterated what I already read. I opted not to use the atms in neighboring businesses for security reasons and trekked four blocks to my local bank branch. So much for being in a relaxed state. The impromptu cash run cost us some of our session time. How ridiculous! My masseuse, Alana, was friendly and personable. We shared stories and laughs while she worked on my knots. There was such great rapport between us, it was as though I was a longtime customer. Now I know why she has lots of clientele. Thanks for taking such good care of me! read more

I received a completely uneven and choppy haircut from this place. I have very short hair and it's apparent how uneven my bob is. The layers are messy and not growing in well. I now have to wait for it to grow out longer so I can get an even cut. It's pretty terrible. This is the worst hair cut I have ever received in my whole life! Instead of trying to fix the mess, management tried to pin the blame on me and say that it's my fault because I trimmed my own bangs prior to getting the haircut. My bangs and the length of my hair have nothing to do with one another. The bangs are fine. The bottom is completely uneven (left side is about a whole inch longer than the right) and the layers are just horrible. Who licensed these people!!!! I do not understand if their reviews are fake or if their staff give them 4 and 5 star reviews but I would not recommend this place at all. read more

My hair was in bad shape after a horrible color job from a place in the city. I looked around on Yelp and found Creative Hair. Bibe was able to get me an appointment the next day. The day of, I had unexpected company and had to call twice to change my appointment time, and they were still able to accommodate me, and they were pleasant about it the whole time. My hair stylist was Nida, who is an absolute angel. My hair was blotchy and uneven, and it was BLACK, which is obviously a hard color to lighten or correct. Nida did color and a full head of headlights that didn't damage my hair; it looks absolutely amazing. She also fixed up the horribly uneven haircut I had. Five stars for the salon and five stars for Nida! read more

Sweet and accommodating staff. Booked an appointment for color and cut. Curly haired brunette with some brassy left over color on my hair. I asked for some balayage with cool tones- hoping it would be the first of a few visits to transition to more blonder hair without too much damage. The color I was given was NOTHING compared to what I asked for, walked away with so much damage. My color ended up looking more grey/white than blonde. The color mixes felt white and light brown with my dark brown roots. The color placement was so stringy, thin and not flattering especially how I wear my hair most of the time;curly. I asked the stylist to trim my ends from the color damage. She cute about 4 inches from my hair, gave me a choppy bad hair cute too top, I always have to keep my hair pinned back because the cut is so uneven. I wouldn't go back, I've spend the last couple months trying to grow my hair back from the bad haircut. read more

I come here all the time! Senada B always does my hair! I will continue to come here because I can't find anyone else that can do my hair the way she does it. NOW the reason why I'm giving 3 stars. I was here 2 weeks ago and Senada B was not there. I went in for a quick wash and dry. The lady that took care of me was amazing ( I wish I remembered her name). The receptionist was amazing as well, always so sweet. There was a lady who was wearing heels, all black outfit, very short blonde curly hair who stared at me like she wanted to intimidate me. I see her all the time and she is always staring people down. She might be the owner? If she feels privileged enough to stare people down (I really hope she is not). Also, the lady who always washes my hair. Long brown hair with an accent. She picks and chooses who she wants to be nice to. When it was time to wash my hair, she did not ask if the water temperature was okay. I heard her ask the two people before me, but not me. The thing that always gets me mad is instead of telling me to put my head back she pulls my hair so my head can go back. She ALWAYS does this. Let me repeat, She PULLS your hair to bring your head back. She is so rough and rude. What's so hard about saying "please bring your head back" I tried to tell her but she walked away because someone was calling her. I also noticed SOME ladies had their mask off and I saw one hair dresser lick her fingers to open up a glove and slide her hand in. During covid times , you can't do that. They didn't wipe down my chair before I sat on it. I don't know, but maybe this was just an off day because the manager was not there, but I guess I hope I have a better experience next time. Senada B - 10000 stars Lady with short blonde curly hair and lady who washes everyone's hair... ZERO! read more

I love Creative going there 16 years The salon services are awesome see u all u tomorrow for my birthday look read more

100% go to Stephen for your hair. I went in with dirty blonde/black/red hair and I walked out with brown/blonde hair. He explained what he was gonna do, how he's gonna do it and made everything so comfortable that I felt ok to ask him questions whenever needed. He took out the old color so amazingly well that I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw actual blonde hair after using black box dye for so long. The process took a while and a little pricey but it's so worth. He's the only person that I met that can take the color out like that. You will walk out of there feeling and looking like a different person but in the best way possible! read more

This one star review is solely because of the salon's tolerance of unmasked personnel and disregard of customer safety. When I arrived, one of the people cutting hair was unmasked (his chair right next to mine) as was a customer sitting right across from me in the shampoo area. I asked Stephen about what looked like a new policy. He asked his fellow employee and the customer to mask up but the customer remained unmasked the whole time I was there - allegedly he was having his beard dyed but that did not occur the whole time I was there. The unmasked customer then moved from the shampoo area and sat in the chair right next to me. Stephen did a great job. Sanela always does a great job - but I got the clear message that the convenience of the customer who refused to mask up was more important than my safety and comfort. read more

It's about time I give a review to my hairstylist in New York (it's only been almost 5 years now...), Senada Vela. If you have curly hair, she understands you. Trust. She will also steer you, very nicely, in the right direction if you want to be cray cray (like me). Because she knows I will have buyers remorse. Lol. With Senada V, I have gotten bolder with my hair choices (which is saying a lot for me, since I um am a creature of habit and hate change) and I love them! If I need something done at the last minute, they are usually able to squeeze me in and are very understanding when I have had to cancel too at the last minute. Also, I'm that person that never carries cash, so I am always either running across the street to get cash and/or bringing it at the next appointment for tips (they only take cash). But again they are very understanding. I would be remiss not to mention Sibi, the greatest hair assistant. She gives the best hair massages when washing your hair! I literally zone out and just let her go at it. She makes sure not to get water on your face nor in your ears. All the staff is really pleasant and they usually have a good assortment of cookies/bagels etc for you to nibble on and some wine flowing as well. So if you need a good stylist, definitely check out Senada Vela! :-) read more

This has been my Salon for at least the past 14 years or so.....yesterday will mark my last visit. First let me say this is a beautiful clean place and everyone really seems to know what they're doing.....you are usually happy with the "after" result. What sent me into a tail spin is what I was charged for services....I got a wash, cut and blow dry for 63.50!!! I've never paid that much for a haircut in my life. (That is in Brooklyn) I had my credit card out....it was the owner who charged me she grabbed the card out of my hand so fast it was crazy!! I've patronized this salon because the prices were reasonable.... I've always paid 50 bucks for a wash, cut and blow dry....150 if I got highlights. If you're on a budget stay away from here!! read more

They took my as a walk in, I was in a jam looking for a hair cut last minute. They put me with John, he gave me a great hair cut! Couldn't be happier w the results. He gave me the exact cut I was looking for and also gave me a very nice blow out! So happy I found him, will definitely be going back to him ! read more

Senada did my hair and makeup today in an hour and a half which to me was like record time. She did a beautiful job. I'm so pleased and the price was very reasonable. I will be returning and have recommended the spa to my friends. read more

OMG. This place is great. Came here based on recommendations I found on Yelp and was a bit nervous. But, no need. This place totally exceeded my expectations. From Ariel, the sylist, to environment, receptionist, and vibe this place has a great energy. Which is amazing, because I'm surprised they didn't turn me away when I walked through the door. I mean for g-d's sake I looked like "Cousin Itt" when I walked in. I swear I had waited so long to get my hair cut the Adams Family would be proud to have me as a member. But any normal sane place, person or establishment would not. Ariel was great, I really recommend her. She took my mop looking head and made an awesome transformation with her cut and coloring skills. My fear is that I have been spoiled by this experience. read more

I'm not sure how to rate this place, really. It's pretty, yes. But the service was... okay. I came here for a mani/pedi and lip wax. For starters, I could have gone somewhere cheaper. I thought I'd try this place to see the difference. The lip wax was alright. I've experienced less pain in other places. Not too bad. The pedicure process was nice. There are massage chairs which aren't that great but better than normal chairs. The lady didn't give much of a foot/leg massage which is a disappointment, since many places I've been to did a very good job with them, and some of the nail care hurt. Afterward, we did my manicure. The lady was very nice but she was rather distracted while doing my nails. I also got hit in the face with one of my nails while she was cutting them. And the dipping water was pretty much boiling. Finally, after spending OVER half an hour drying both hands and feet, and spraying quick dry on them at least 3x each, I left. Within five minutes, I managed to smudge my toes and my hands. How? Who knows. I normally don't smudge them that well and that quickly. But apparently you have to sit over an hour at the salon drying your nails. I'm not a happy camper. I overpaid for my mani/pedi only to have the work ruined. I have to repaint them at home. What was the point of that? I MIGHT come back for the lip wax, and only with a friend, but won't be getting my nails done here again. read more

I was new to New York and in need to find a good hair salon. I knew Manhattan prices would be way out of my price range so I decided to see what Brooklyn had to offer. I am super paranoid about getting my hair done by stylists I don't know (after past coloring jobs gone wrong) so I searched reviews for a while before deciding to go to Creative Hair & Spa. When I called, I spoke to Stephen and he set me up with an appointment the very same day. Stephen is a gem! I recommend anyone looking for a new stylist to go to him! He is professional, very friendly and gives you exactly what you are asking for. Before he even touched my hair he spent time talking to me to find out what I wanted then showed me color samples to be sure I liked the shades before he began. I have long blond hair and received a partial with highlights, lowlights, cut and a blow dry for around $150 which is a steal for the quality and for New York! I have been to Stephen twice now and both experiences have been top notch. Both appointments he even spent extra time on me to show me different ways to style my hair. If you go to Stephen you are going to get exactly what you are looking for and leave feeling beautiful! I couldn't be happier with my experiences here. read more

Bibe (the owner) is the only one who has ever cut my hair, and she is fantastic. I thought living in Park Slope and working in Manhattan that my days of getting a great $25 hair cut were over -- especially in a salon -- but I was (happily) wrong. Here's a little blurb about Bibe from the site: About the Owner... Bibe has been a stylist and colorist since 1985. Bibe started her career at a Manhattan salon. She moved to Park Slope Brooklyn and opened a small neighborhood salon dedicated to making people feel and look great. She now has a newly renovated Hair Salon & Spa offering massages, facials, spa pedicures, and full body waxing. read more

I've been going to Creative for a couple years now and always used John. Although I don't do it anymore, he does a spectacular job on highlights. Went last Saturday and got a wash, partial dye job, cut and style in under 2 hours. I had many compliments on my hair that evening, Thanks!! -1/2 star for the horrible street parking nearby but what can you expect from park slope. -1/2 for the cattiness of some of the other stylists. read more

I live in New York City, where hair salons are abundant. However, I have been jumping around for years, never completely satisfied with the color, the person doing the color, or the cost. I decided to check yelp. I looked up colorists Park Slope, Brooklyn. I liked most of the reviews and decided to give it a try. My colorist was Nida. She was kind and patient while listening to my needs. I left with a beautiful caramel ombré shade. I can not count how many compliments I got! Thank you Nida, beautiful job!!! read more

I love everyone here at Creative Hair Spa. They are so nice to their clientele and also so chipper with each other (which I think is very important!) I first went here in the late winter/early spring of 2011 when I was thinking of what to do about my nails before I went to Aruba for my destination wedding. I had heard about Shellac and wanted to try it out. I found out Creative Hair Spa did from the CND website and I am so glad I came. Since my first manicure with Ximena I've been back many times and have taken both my sister and mother here for manicures and pedicures with the wonderful staff. I have also seen Lena for eyebrow threading/waxing. I definitely prefer the threading over waxing through because I think it is a lot more comfortable and is a lot more precise. In the future I think I'll be trying a facial and/or a massage here. Definitely a recommend for people in the Park Slope area for excellent service and great price! read more
