Back in 2016 I had my taxes done near the old Hairstories Brooklyn location and watched everyone…read morewalk out of the salon with amazing looking hair while I was waiting. I booked an color appointment with Daniella shortly after, and have been coming to her ever since for balayage highlights. I've followed her to Babylon and would probably follow her anywhere within NY State (and maybe even New Jersey) if she ever were to move locations again, she's that good. I realize that sounds kind of stalkerish, but seriously. Not only does my color look amazing when it's first done, but it grows out so well that I only have to have it done once per year. I get compliments on the color all the time, even when I feel like I'm well overdue for more. I used to get my full head done which honestly I miss, but since my hair has thinned out over the years I've gone with the partial to save a few bucks and to better protect my hair. If you've never had this type of color done on your hair before, pro tip is to believe the time estimate even if it seems insane. If your appointment says it's going to take three and a half hours, believe it. Good hair takes time, but it's absolutely worth it. If you're not sure what type of service is best for your hair consider booking a consultation.

I just wanted to update this review as I haven't been a customer in over a year and wanted to share…read morewhy. Overall I was very happy with the work that was done on my hair and the care that was taken to make sure my hair was healthy. With that said there is nothing that justifies the cost of getting your hair done here especially since they triple book you and often leave your hair in the hands of their "assistants"- who are also stretched thin and mostly inexperienced. I get wanting to maximize profit. I have a business myself! So I get it. But imagine my surprise when i book a highlight at 11 and someone else books a highlight at 12 and now my colorist is leaving me to do both. On top of that i think it's generally wrong to not blow out your client who has just gotten color treatment because color looks different wet versus dry. I wasn't informed to book a blow out on top of my color services I was just rushed out of the chair with wet hair day of, which was odd. Additionally, someone who formerly worked on my hair here came into MY workplace for a service and then complained to my boss instead of letting me know directly that there was an issue. I would never do anything like that to anyone, but apparently this is the culture at this salon or what this individual decided was appropriate. Again, I was happy with how my hair came out here. They brought my hair back to normal after it was ruined by another salon, but I don't think I'll be back. Onward!

After they did my hair it was bright orange/yellow, my hair got insanely thin, and i asked them to do a TRIM and they chopped off half my hair. I was genuinely so insecure after them. They still charged me $250 and i can't even believe they let me walk out looking that way. I called them and told them how horrible of a job they did and they said to come in and they would fix it. They made it EVEN WORSE. They're a horrible place do not go here save your money and go somewhere else.

Everyone in this salon is friendly and nice…read more Unfortunately, nice doesn't mean your hairdresser will listen to your specific requests for color/cut. The last two appointments I let Layla know that I do not want my hair short, I am growing it out. She cut it too short anyway and left my hair looking like a poofy messy bob. Also, the last glaze she put into my hair came out too dark. Each appointment Layla was busy and hurrying to fit in other clients during my appointment time and also during my last appointment had other distractions as well. I don't feel she paid attention or took into consideration what I had said. I was really disappointed in the lack of focus, clients should be treated better. When I got home I immediately cancelled any future appointments. Time to find another salon. Pros - Friendly, fair price Additional Cons - lack of flexibility/availability of appointments, Poor job of shampoo at the sink, most times I would go home to wash my hair again to get the color out, also the chairs and sinks at the shampoo area don't seem to match up and are really uncomfortable and there is only one shampoo girl for the salon
