Once I walked in everyone was super friendly. The front desk asked to hang up my jacket and offers me tea or coffee (automatic points). I went in wanting bangs but was such a chicken I didn't commit. I luckily got paired with Shaun who made this whole experience great. She suggested a good transitioning point that framed my face oh so well but when I'm ready can easily be turned into bangs. She also threw in some layers which I never do. She did a great job checking in with me throughout the wash and cut, I have no complaints whatsoever. I'm so happy with how healthy and how great my hair looks. Highly recommend. 10/10

It's perfect for people like me who are claustrophobic and anxious, there is a lot of open space, it's perfectly decorated, and the stylists are incredibly kind. I came here after seeing Kat's fantasy colors on Instagram and had to give her a shot at my hair. Well, she took my hair from L'Oréal's darkest box dye to a masterpiece I get complimented on daily... twice! I'll never switch salons. On top of that, my bands are incredibly difficult to cut. They always end up raising on the left side because I have a cowlick. Stylist usually keep cutting until my bangs are around lord Farquad length, which I personally don't enjoy on myself. I'm horrible and can't currently remember her name, but the wonderful babe who cut my bangs L i s t e n e d to me and I walked out of there with straight cut bangs that weren't shorter than I asked. I always expect them to get messed up as no one has cut them perfectly in over 10 years. I was so shocked. On top of that the salon is SO CLEAN. I'm a germaphobic creature with OCD, and seeing such a clean, great smelling bathroom is always refreshing. Their decorations are beautiful. You can also get tea and water to keep you hydrated. Thanks for being so dope guys!

I booked with Andrea Samuels because she was described as having "expertise in curl techniques."…read moreWhen I arrived at my appointment she was chatty but did not seem to understand when I showed her my reference photos and explained what I wanted... this proved to be devastatingly accurate. I was looking to lighten up my long, shoulder length 2B/2C curls and to trim side swept curtain bangs. I'm no stranger to edgy looks -- I walked in with my hair dyed neon green and my sides undershaved. I wanted a squared-off shape overlaying the shave that retained my hair's volume and length but took out some weight. I mentioned *several times* that I wanted my hair kept long enough to be able to tie up into a top bun. I showed her a photo of me with longer bangs from a previous wolf cut that I'd loved and indicated that those were the bangs I wanted. I also showed her photos to demonstrate the overall shape I was looking for (mullet adjacent) but only because I wanted the front layered shorter than the back. Based on responses, I was becoming anxious about being heard at this point so I repeated that I wanted to retain the length, again. Her first cut took off the entire left side of my head. I was not consulted about the placement or length of the cut which was dramatically more than what I'd requested. I felt over half a decade of curls cascade down my neck. When I expressed concern I was encouraged to wait until it was done. After washing and styling, nearly the entire top and back of my head had been chopped from roughly 8 inches to under 2 inches, often at alarming angles. The only curls left were a bedraggled clump hanging from the base of my neck. I looked like Weird Barbie with a rat-tail. Like someone had taken hidden rage out with kitchen scissors on a doll, only I was the doll. I was in shock and visibly upset. Ms. Samuels was apologetic and offered a $20 discount. I deferred until I realized that not only was I no longer remotely recognizable to myself I also could not put my hair up or back, not even with bobby pins. I was issued a full refund with politeness which I am grateful for. The heavy product used, later left a white powdery residue on my face and clothing. I have also since salvage-cut everything to above ear length. I trust this was not deliberate. I was also looking for a summer-refresh and instead, lost my curls, my color, and cried myself to sleep that night. Take that as you will.

Really great value for the service received!…read more I was able to have Jeremy as my hairstylist and I got a haircut/blow-dry that transformed my long unkempt hair to a chiq and stylish medium length. Overall, it was a very efficient and pleasurable experience that started at the shampoo bowl with a relaxing hair shampoo service. I was then escorted to the styling chair and promptly received my haircut. Jeremy was very attentive listening to my wants and desires for my haircut and was able to deliver with expertise and style. Highly recommend Jeremy for a haircut/styling! Will definitely return.

Since it was a Saturday, it was decently busy when I arrived, but I did not have to wait more than a couple minutes to get seen. The space is small and it was a bit smoky inside due to the use of the blow dryers, but it didn't bother me. My coat was hung up when I walked in and I was offered a beverage which was nice. My blowout looked great, and my stylist took care to ask me what look I wanted and checked if I was ok with product in my hair. My blowout lasted all weekend somehow and I will definitely be back the next time I'm in town!

So I've been coming here for yearrrrs. It was the first salon I went to in Brooklyn where I…read moreactually left happy with my hair. I tend to be pretty picky but the bigger issue is that I'm a redhead and apparently getting the right shade of red for a lot of stylists is challenging. Well, not here. I'm schooled in color theory so I was able to explain the exact shade of red I wanted and Justin delivered. Besides being a sweetheart, we immediately connected. He's a total smart ass and I loved that!! So if you lack personality or sense of humor, this may not be the stylist for you. He's creative, experienced and gives great recommendations, especially when I want something done to my hair that I really shouldn't be doing. I have also gone to Rebecca, the salon owner, in Justin's absence, and she's a badass as well. I have gotten microblading done with Kristina when she had only done like 10 people and she did a great job! Being a professional make-up artist and helping many people who don't know how to articulate what they want, it can be challenging to please the customer. If you don't really know what you want or how to articulate it, find pictures to show. Be realistic though. If you don't look anything like Beyonce or whatever flavor she's wearing for the week, that may not be the best screenshot to show. Look at face shapes, skin tone, hair texture, etc. and accept wether or not you have the kind of hair and face that you can really do ANYTHING with. That's my public service announcement for the day.

I walked in for a simple wash, cut, and blow dry, and the place looked like a nice hole in the wall 'mom and pop' spot. Because I didn't want a lot done to my hair and I liked that it seemed like a local family run business, I was happy to go in and wait for a simple cut and dry. After waiting quietly for half an hour, they called me back for a wash. Upon washing my hair, the woman had me wait for an additional 20 minutes for the cut. The lady then cut my hair and I noticed afterwards she forgot to cut some pieces, which when I asked her back to fix, she did, with absolute disdain. I brushed it off, let her do her thing, then was passed on to another woman to blow dry. I noticed my head felt hot as the woman blow dried my hair but just assumed it was a hot machine and let it be. I'll tell you, my hair never looked more perfect after that heat was applied; it was too perfect. Despite perfection, she proceeded to straighten my hair. It smelled like an incinerator. Its been less than 24 hours since the experience and I now realize that it wasn't just the heat, it was sulfur. The "post-wash" wait wasn't because they were busy, it was because they were letting the product sink into my hair and scalp. I am currently with a professional stylist who is explaining what these women did to me and understands the protocol for chemically induced hair, what the reaction does and can do, and knows how dangerous what they did is to me. She explains this to me as she is trying furiously to wash the rotten egg stench out of my hair. ***These women, without my consent, put extremely powerful chemicals on my scalp that A. had I previously colored my hair, would have caused permanent damage not just to my hair, but to my scalp. B. "Perm/Straightening" chemicals are extremely hazardous and can cause cancer if not used properly. C. Applying chemicals without customer consent is not just unprofessional, it is illegal and dangerous.*** Shut this place down. I say this with so much vigor, as I sit and wait for the chemical burn pain to cease from my head, hoping these burns don't seep too deep near the most important organ on my body.

Also, the salon bathroom smelled awful and the salon gets incredibly smoky and hazy. While this place wasn't for me, it seems a lot of people like it, so maybe it's all dependent on the stylist

He does everything himself from start to finish - a thorough wash, hair cut and styling - all included in the price that he provides you up front before the appointment (so there are no surprises at the last minute that it will be double what you expected because your hair is a little bit thicken or longer - which is always so stressful in nyc) He is super accommodating and great with communication leading up to the apt and during the apt. He listens to what you want and then takes what you're hoping for to the next level.

I booked online and sent the $45 deposit via CashApp, which was the cost of the entire service. I don't actually own a blow dryer, so I washed my hair and brushed it out until it was straight-ish, and that was fine. My partner had a separate appointment and detangled his hair, but they charged him an additional blow drying fee (I don't think he brushed his hair out like I did, maybe that's why?). I showed up about 15 minutes early in the middle of a heat wave, Cece offered me a cold water, and Stephenie started working on me right away. She blow dried my hair a little bit more, with minimal heat. Stephenie was super communicative and showed me what she wanted to cut off. The trim wasn't really noticeable from a distance, which is exactly what I wanted. The salon itself is small and neat, and Stephenie and Cece are super friendly. I'll be back for my next trim in 3 months!
