Mary cut my hair and she was just the absolute sweetest person - not to mention that this was also the best haircut of my life so far! I walked in on a whim because I had a wedding to go to the next day and she was able to take me within less than 5 minutes. She was so easy to communicate with and placed no judgements on how I wanted my hair cut. She was nothing but positive, friendly, and honest. Cannot recommend this place enough! read more

I have never written a negative review before, but this experience was so bad that I feel obligated to warn others. This was, without a doubt, the worst highlights I have ever had. Mary mentioned that she used to own a salon, and after this experience, I understand why she no longer does. The color is completely off, the highlights are uneven, and the overall result is just terrible. I have thin hair, and the haircut with multiple layers made everything worse-- and throughout the process I was literally being hit in the face with my own wet hair as she cut. It felt chaotic and unprofessional. The result was such a disaster that I had to go to another salon and pay a significant amount to fix it. The hairstylist there was shocked and kept repeating that some people simply should not be doing hair. I spent an entire week tying my hair up just to hide how bad it looked. To make matters worse, the payment experience was incredibly uncomfortable. I paid her immediately via Zelle and even tipped her in cash. Because the transfer wasn't instant (we have different banks), she became upset and made me stay while I called my bank to prove that I had paid. It was humiliating and unnecessary. Afterward, I sent her photos to show how disastrous the result was, and her only response was to tell me to book another appointment. There is no way I would trust her to fix this. I asked for a refund, which I now realize I likely won't receive after seeing other similar reviews. This was an extremely disappointing and stressful experience. I strongly recommend going elsewhere. read more

From Head to Toe - Hair Salons Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Don't waste your time or money. They decide to cancel appointments with zero notification to clients. Then they refuse to accommodate for their lack of effort in finding a different time. How unprofessional is it to not tell someone that their appointment is cancelled- as they arrive? Because you decided to call.... Not because they actually tried to tell you. lol read more

I found this salon on Groupon and made an appointment for the $84 deal for a cut, highlight, and blow out. When I got to my appointment it was clear they were overbooked and busy. Turns out there is an additional cost of $50 for toner and $20 for full highlights. The stylist was in a rush and my highlights came out extremely yellow, streaky, and asymmetrical. It was not close to what I asked for (I showed a picture of what I wanted) and it didn't look natural or blended like other highlights I've gotten. The front is very blonde with random highlights distributed unevenly that look almost unfinished. I paid for toner to help with the color and paid extra for full highlights all over and that is not what I got. I called to schedule a time for her to fix it and when I came in at the time of my appointment, she wasn't there. I called the stylist and she said she was on vacation and proceeded to tell me that she said a different day. This salon lacks customer service, professionalism, attention to detail and quality. read more

Good luck with this salon!! Mary scheduled an appt with me and then when I got there 1. I could t find the place. The address they provided was a gutted out under construction store front. I called Mary and she told me it was next door to the construction which was a small barber shop with 2 Arab men cutting hair. She told me it was in there. Then she asked if I had an appt cause she was on vacation. So she tried to get another person to cut my hair but they weren't available until several hours later, like she was doing me a favor. Needless to say, I left and never went back! This place is Very disorganized, in a mens barbershop and very unprofessional! read more

Mary fit me in at the last minute and did a great job with my hard to cut hair. Been going to her for decades. My mom used to say, "her hands are blessed!" read more

I had a horrible experience. Mary cut my hair so short even after I explained how I wanted it cut. I cried and so did she! I have been a customer for 10 years. I chalked it up to a bad day and went back for a coloring and cut for my son's wedding!!!!! She knew it was for this special event. When she covered my whole head with color rather than just the roots, I said isn't this going to leave my ends darker. She always did just the roots and even covered the ends with conditioner. I don't know why she chose to do it this way. And sure enough, I was left with two tones! Dark ends and it looked horrible. The day of my son's wedding I had no choice but to wear a wig to cover the mess she made. She wanted me to come in so she could 'fix' it. Bleaching my hair is the only way it could be fixed, and I wasn't about to do that. After this experience, I never went back. When someone works on your hair, they should be totally there, mind and body. read more

Thank you I will be back soon Valentina H read more

Heard about this salon through Groupon. I had a lovely experience! Lauren applied the Coppola Keratin to my curly/kinky hair. At first, I was hesitant because she mentioned that she didn't have as much experience with kinky hair. Moreover, she did a great job! The keratin treatment made my hair easier to straighten and thankfully I didn't lose my curl pattern. We laughed, talked, played music and had a jolly time. Highly recommend! Advice to anyone: please read the fine print -- I ended up paying $75 extra because of the length of my hair. read more

Lauren is wonderful with my hair, it always looks great after she cuts it. She's also very personable and easy to talk to.

Mary is the best! She knows style and that's what I want. She's also very friendly and chatty.

"Please Feel Free to Contact us and Book your next appointment Today." Used the form on their website to book an appointment, and it's been over a week and I haven't gotten a response. For all I know, they're a great hair salon, but they need to get their online booking in order. read more

I've been coming here every 3 to 6 months for the past few years for brow waxing. I've spent the past 6 years and hundreds of dollars growing out my thin brows to the now popular "boy brow" (thanks to Cara Delevingne for the trend) and I occasionally get touch ups to clean up loose hairs and straighten the edges. I came in for a touch up from the owner, who has always been like a sweet aunt to me, and expected just my regular touch up. She waxed off almost a quarter inch of my inner brow. Let me repeat that: a quarter @#$%ing inch. I look like a fricken Larry from the Three Stooges. 6 years of growth, $300 of brow serums, and $700 of microblading down the drain in 2 minutes flat. Two of my microbladed hairs are now stranded randomly next to my brow and my brows look like they belong on a cheap 90s hooker who idolizes the Spice Girls. My facial expression now has a constant "puzzled" look due the new brow placement. I have been crying at the mirror for the past 12 hours trying to figure out what step to take to fix this and if it will cost me even more to recover the hairs now than it did before. I just ordered $200 of brow serum and scheduled an appointment with my microblading specialist 2 weeks from now. That's $550 down the drain to recover from this. My advice to the owner: keep up with the times and listen to your clientele. I haven't had this shape brow on my face since 2004 when I was 16 years old and wearing lime green eyeshadow. If you're in a rush to get somewhere and unable to listen to directions from the client, cancel the appointment. Needless to say, I will not be returning. read more

This place is amazing. Supper friendly. Skilled. And inexpensive. Karen did my wife's hair today. She was thrilled. Marie did mine. Just a trim and a beard shave. But exactly what I needed. The location is great. Right near the subway and a bunch of other shopping/restaurants. The salon is clean and open late too. Will be back. This is now our regular spot. read more

From Head to Toe - Nice cut ;) - Hair Salons Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I have been getting my haircuts and color from Mary for over 20 years. I am very particular about how I wear my hair, and Mary has always delivered a great cut. As a colorist, she is outstanding. The true test of a colorist is how your hair looks as it fades, and my color always looks terrific! Perhaps the best thing about Mary is how she knows just the right cut and color that will flatter you. This comes from all her years of experience and professionalism. People periodically stop and ask me where I get my hair done. I am constantly sending people over. If you are looking for a hair stylist and colorist who will keep you looking at your best, book an appointment with Mary! The staff is friendly and helpful as well! read more

From Head to Toe - Performing at Seventh Heaven Street Fair, June 2014 after getting a cut and color from Mary at From Head to Toe. - Hair Salons Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I rarely leave reviews, but I have to give big props to Lauren. I have thick, coarse hair and a head full of cowlicks that requires true professional skill to cut properly. Lauren takes her time, only using scissors when trimmers would save a lot of time, because it results in a much better haircut. To top it off, the shampooing doesn't play second fiddle to the haircut. It's downright therapeutic and relaxing. Can't recommend her enough! read more

I have been getting my hair cut by Lauren for years and she always does an amazing job. She recommended a shoulder length layered cut, which is perfect for my hair. The blowout with body always comes out looking great. She remembers me no matter how long it's been since the last time I was there and picks up a conversation right where it left off. I can't recommend this place enough, everyone is nice and professional! read more

I purchased a groupon for a Keratin treatment for my mom and I will never spend money on this place again. They were claiming that their system was down and they couldnt scan the voucher, meanwhile my mom had the print out on hand. They were extremely rude and sarcastic to my mother and were talking about her because they thought she didn't understand english. She was uncomfortable the entire time. Horrible experience here!!! read more

Great local salon! Lauren is a fab colorist and her cuts are great. So glad I found this place! Definitely give it a shot if you need a good hair cut / color. read more

Save your money and try another salon. Both Mary and Lauren are unprofessional and unethical people. They ruined my hair while doing a treatment (first Lauren and then Mary) and when I talked to them they blamed it to my hair type. And Mary got hysterical. Park Slope is full of hair salons with more genuine and caring hair stylists. On a side note, if you look at previous reviews you will notice a trend: that after every 1 star review this place gets several 5 stars(obviously fake) to cover up. What a fun way to do business! read more

Do not get the Yelp deal. Do not get the Yelp deal. It's not worth it. I came in and requested a dark red. DARK RED. Auburn, if you will. This is easy, and any colorist worth their salt should know what that looks like. Instead, I got a brassy, orange-hued red that I'm embarrassed to leave my apartment in. I expressed what I wanted. The colorist (Mary, who I believe is the salon owner) said "Oh, I have the perfect color!" - and then proceeded to tell me throughout the color, and then when she was rinsing, that I was just going to love it. Basically, it wasn't a safe environment for me to say "Actually, I don't" because she and literally EVERYONE in the salon kept telling me how nice it looked. Also? Mary didn't ask me about my color history, or how I treat my hair. She mansplained to me about how I should take care of my curls, never asking me once how I actually took care of my hair. I kind of feel bad for leaving a 1-star review, because Mary was really nice in that oppressive nice-auntie way. But 1) my color was absolutely not what I wanted 2) she did not listen to me at all 3) she didn't *attempt* to listen to me, or ask questions about my hair history, at any point in the session Maybe I'm spoiled because my colorist in Boston was the absolute best, but... this was bad. I'm not going back for a color correction because honestly? I just don't trust her to listen to what I want. read more

As a guy that isn't really interested in paying more than $20 for a haircut, From Head to Toe was quite a find. It's quite spacious inside and very comfortable. You can have your hair cut by Mary or Julie. Both ladies are lovely and are a lot of fun to talk to. Mary has amazing stories and can talk for hours. And a men's haircut will run you $15! You can't beat that. I only wish I needed a haircut more often. UPDATE: A year and a half later, a lot has changed. Julie is no longer there. The entire interior has been re-done (for the worse, in my opinion) and there are a lot more than two haircutters (I refuse to write "hairdresser"). And, unfortunately, the biggest change is that the $15 men's haircut is now $24. That's still way cheap for most salons but definitely way more than most barbershops. It's definitely made me change my opinion of the place a little bit. I'm now open to finding new places. The bottom line is that it takes 10 minutes or less to cut my hair. I'm so too picky. I just say cut it. To charge me $24 for less than 10 minutes in the chair seems silly. I miss the old days. It was much more intimate. The interior was kind of meh. And the dynamic between Mary and Julie is what kept me going back. Now it just feels like every other salon. read more

For those in the know, Nicole is back for men's haircuts at Head to Toe. However if you came to Yelp and searched for "men's haircut", your search is over. I found Nicole that very same way and have been a customer of hers ever since (going on 2 years now). She is friendly, efficient and always makes me feel comfortable, plus her haircuts are a safe bet to earn me compliments the next day. Haircuts cost $26 before tip, which is more expensive than your regular barber shop, but a good deal for the quality of haircut and attention to detail you get from her. Consider her highly recommended. read more

Worst Haircut ever. I asked for her to keep the length and do what it took to make my hair look good. Obviously it was backwards day because not only did they not keep the length (probably took off 3-4"), but they made me look like the bastard child of Alan Thicke circa Growing Pains and Julius Caesar. Looks like I should've spent that $30 on a buzzer.... read more

Nicole is the best! Been going to different barbers for years and been satisfied. But I'd forgotten what it felt like to have a real hair stylist cut you hair. And it's clear Nicole is an experienced champ, explaining every detail as she goes. Ask for her...for few more bucks you get a proper current cut. read more

As has been noted, the price of a men's haircut has steadily gone up since the reviews started; I paid $25 for a basic trim + credit card surcharges. I was pleased to read about an affordable haircut in my hood, with personable stylists, although both were barely true. I narrowly avoided a haircut disaster while Mom (my stylist) was yelling at her kids mid-snip in my hair. I have to say the results of my haircut were great, even for a boy with long-ish curly hair only looking for a trim; in that regard I recommend this as a barber shop. read more

From Head to Toe - Haircut by Lauren B - Hair Salons Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Please NEVER NEVER go to this hair salon. I would give 00000s if it was possible. My baby and I were ATTACKED by the owner, Mary Brescia at her "From Head to Toe" shop in Brooklyn on 7the avenue and 16 street. I have curly hair and for 7 years have done straightening treatments on my hair at different places and have always been happy with the treatments. In June 2017, when I decided to do it again, I saw a deal on Groupon for $99.When I went to confirm the price and ask how long the treatment will last I was told by Lauren (hairdresser at the shop), that for my hair type they will charge $175, and it will last up to 5 months. She told me not to buy the groupon deal, but pay them directly. I agreed to do the treatment as it is the average price for the treatment. I bought a keratin treatment from Lauren. During the treatment they told me I could only pay cash, and wouldn't give a receipt (after I already got the "treatment") The treatment didn't work and lasted only 7 days (instead of 4-5 months as they claimed). Later when I went to ask for my money back, they refused to give it back. Lauren refused to work on my hair again. Mary instead offered a Brazilian treatment, confirming that it will work 100% for 4 to 5 months. I agreed to take the offer. She was rude during the treatment and pulled my hair, burnt my forehead. When I asked her to be quick because I had my anniversary dinner, she threw the comb on the floor and started to shout. She told me that I have bad hair and it needs a cut. This was June 22nd. That treatment wasn't much better and failed the first time I washed it with the shampoo they sold me. I called her and told her that it didn't work. She threatened to call the police if I came to her shop and then she hung up the phone. I went with my baby (10 months). William, her co-worker was there. Seemed like a nice guy. Mary left after my call, refusing to see how my hair looks and have a polite conversation. After I showed William my curly hair, he also told me that, yes, the treatment did not work. He went outside to call Mary who later called me twice telling that she had a "family emergency." So I said that I would wait. She called again saying she would not give my money back. Then she came 5 minutes later shouting and threatening to hit me and my 10 months old daughter with a pink comb and then with the hairdryer and the fan. Then she lit a cigarette and wanted to burn my arm and harm the baby. William had to hold her. She shouted "hit me bitch" several times. She wanted to pull my baby out of the stroller --while she was crying! When I went outside to calm the baby , she threw away the stroller to the street. and then brought it back when I told her police will see what she did. She then went outside started to shout that I hit her. And told William to leave as soon as I called the police. After I called the police, she called them too and made an untrue statement that I hit her twice. Mary mocked my English, showed me the middle finger, called me crazy bitch, the f word, claimed that I am high, that my baby and I are ugly. Terrible person, who would throw a stroller in the street and shout, while telling people that I hit her? When the police came and questioned her, she made an untrue statement that I hit her. When the police asked her where, she couldn't answer. Just said that I didn't leave. When the police asked her if she threw the stroller out in the street, she denied it at first and then said that it was the only way to get me out. Pulling the stroller with the baby on it? The baby would have been injured if I didn't take her out. This hair salon is terrible. read more

Mary really took care of me. I went in there looking like a real mess, after having decided over the past year to color my hair myself in order to save money. She gave me the best cut I've had in ages and did a great job of color with highlights. Though I usually like quiet when I have my hair done, I found conversation with Mary to be fun and interesting. I've been there twice now, and plan on making From Head to Toe "my" hair salon. read more

I came to this salon from the reviews I read about Nicole. I've been getting my hair cut from her for just over a year now, and she is awesome - especially if you happen to be a gentleman with curly hair. I'm writing this to help those with the same needs find her - she is now cutting hair at Aida's Spa in Bay Ridge. So of course Head to Toe is great - but if you're looking for Nicole, that's where you'll find her. read more

This place does a great job! I came in about 6 weeks ago for highlights with Mary, the owner, and could not have been happier. Mary felt like I was talking to my Aunt. I showed her what I wanted and we discussed the options before agreeing on some light highlights. I loved the way they came out and have gotten so many compliments!! Went back for keratin and also am so happy with the turnout. She walked me through exactly what I need to do to make it last a while and even made time to fit in a root touch up while I was there. If you want good service for a very reasonable price in a place that feels like you're hanging out with friends, try Head to Toe. read more

So I found this place here on yelp and it said they gave great cuts to guys with curly hair... Well they were right on point. Nicole cut my hair and did a superb job on it. I know nothing about hair but with her cutting it, I felt like I was on a what not to wear tv show. Along with a great cut, she gave me tips on styling conditioner.... And a bunch of stuff to help. Now I most likely will follow this half heartedly it was still awesome. She was super personable and really easy to talk to durin the cut (which was like 15 minutes). I would definitely reccomend this place and her to any guy that needs a trim. A but pricey at 25$ but again excellent job on it so I will be back. read more

Probably the best haircut I've ever had for a better-than-fair price. Plus, Nicole is fun and she's got a cool little dog running around too. $2 surcharge for the credit card machine is a little bizarre but whatever. I got my wedding cut here and am very happy with the results. read more

I came for a blowout, and I was blown away how amazing this place is. Everyone there was so thoughtful and kind. I recommend this place for anyone who wants to get their hair done.

STAY AWAY FROM THIS SALON FOR KERATIN TREATMENT! I went for a Keratin treatment- and was left to bake it off under a hairdryer for three 20 minute cycles while the hairdresser attended to a handful of other clients that were booked at the same time- as a result while she was straigtening my hair the Keratin was flaking off- still i left the "treatment " in for three days as advised then washed out using Keratin shampoo- and there was absolutely no change in my hair- My hair was still curly and frizzy, exactly as it was when i went in - I went back to complain, and they said the treatment was supposed to be like that. Like how? Non-existant? They don't know how to do a keratin treatment- i lost 240 dollars on this- Went to another salon, and had it done properly. Do not waste your money. read more

I love this place. $20 haircut special for men on Mondays. Also, my hairstylist is really great with curly hair. SWEET.
