I had a wonderful experience there. I needed to get a blow and was actually going somewhere else. Fortunately for me the other place was closed. Lasting Impressions is on the same street as the other place. As fate would have it, they were able to accommodate me. Marie was excellent. She washed my hair and gave me an amazing scalp massage, it totally relaxed me. I also got a moisturizing treatment. My blow out was fabulous. And it lasted for the rest of my visit( 3 days) in NY. Go visit, you won't be disappointed! read more

I'm newer to the neighborhood and was looking for an affordable hair salon that could cut curly hair well. I had called ahead to see if there was availability and decided to walk in--best decision ever! Sue welcomed me in and made me feel right at home. She gave a quick assessment of my 3B curls, asked me what I wanted, and guided me through the process as she cut, shampooed, conditioned and dried my hair. She was very familiar and experienced in cutting curly hair, and she managed to cut out all my split ends and restore bounce and shine to my hair! She was very professional but approachable so I always felt comfortable. The products she used on my hair were plant-based and smelled good, and I love how my cut turned out! I was so grateful to find a place where I could get a curly trim for under $100-and it was well worth the experience! Will definitely be coming back. read more

Lasting Impressions has been a godsend during COVID-19. Please support local businesses like Lasting Impressions during this time! Before the pandemic, I got my hair blown out twice a month in Manhattan, where I worked. It was standard procedure in order to maintain the moisture my hair needs given my thin but African American hair texture. I walked past this salon one day and peered in when everything was shutting down in March and Sue welcomed me in and found a spot for me in her appointment books. I got the blowout with the Olaplex and it was exactly what I was looking for. Healthy, shiny hair maintained. When they opened back up, I immediately went back to Lasting Impressions and haven't stopped going since. Sue is careful with you - asks you questions on what your hair goals are and what you are looking for in your service and then delivers every time. It's so nice to have found a spot in the neighborhood that can maintain my hair. Ask for Sue if you stop in - she's awesome. And yes splurge on the Olaplex treatment, it's completely worth it. read more

I'm a new client, and I just had a wonderful first time salon visit with my stylist Sue. She's very talented, professional and a wonderful person. I've already booked my next appointment. read more

Get your OLAPLEX and ORIBE Products here too. Amazing!!! Chic neighborhood. Get your Blowouts &Brunch

I made an appointment with Sade after wanting to Havana Twists for months. I didn't want to travel to BK ( I live uptown ) I had the hair and thought why not. I was pleased with the salon. The atmosphere was welcoming, calm, friendly, and clean. I booked my appointment with Sade. She asked me questions about my hair routine, what products I use, etc. I purchased hair recommended by another stylist and Sade recommended another one for the future (she was right the hair I bought was heavy) She was gentle and super fast. The whole process : wash and the twisting took about 3 hours Will definitely return read more

Really loved the atmosphere! I usually hate going to salons but I found I honestly enjoyed myself there. Reasonably priced and worth every penny. The place to go for hair color (definitely if you're natural) b/c the colorist is amazing. read more

This is more so a review of the Brazilian Keratin Treatment rather than a review of the salon. I won't take up much of your time here- it makes my hair hella shiny, but it sucks. My hair acts the same as it would if I just flat ironed it straight and gets poofy just as quickly as humidity. Therefore, I probably won't be getting the treatment again, especially since it was so expensive for its lack of effectiveness. read more

Finally glad that I found a stylist that I can trust. I've been here twice and have been extremely satisfied with the outcome both times thanks to Sade. The first time I went, I got an ombre done (shown in my picture). I expressed to Sade my worry with having an ombre and curly hair as I have seen it in other girls with the same type of hair and just looks bizarre. However, Sade did a wonderful job and my hair looks great straight and natural. The dye she used didn't dry out my hair nor did it cause breakage. The second time around, all I asked Sade to do was to cut off around 4 inches of hair. Although she cut off around 4 inches of hair, my hair doesn't look short or choppy; it still has a lot of length to it. I highly recommend coming to this salon. It's in a great area, affordable prices, and the staff is extremely welcoming. read more

I searched for a hairstylist I could trust for a long time and was very happy to find Shade. She takes her time to listen to me and understand what I want. My hair color is great and we are always adventuring in new haircuts. I would totally recommend her services. read more

Lasting Impressions Salon - Hair Salons Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

It has been some time since I have visited. this horror of a salon and I am STILL PISSED about my experience here. That's all........ read more

Great customer service & a professional comfortable clean safe environment. The owner and stylist is very knowledgeable on hair care and products best for your particular texture. Quality products used for care. Confirmation and remainders of appointment times are sent which is convenient. Did a color to my hair which came out exactly how I wanted. Would definitely recommend to a friend. read more

This review is in regards to their scheduling and time management. I made a Friday 5:15pm appointment at Lasting Impressions. I arrived on time. Sometime around 5:45pm I got my hair washed. I waited and waited. And then I waited some more. By 7:10pm I was still seated on a couch watching my overscheduled stylist work on other clients. She was apologetic, but it was really not an acceptable situation. I'd have preferred she told me she was overbooked before washing my hair. I would have made other plans or just done my hair myself at home rather than waste hours of my time. On the plus side, they have a nice selection of Aveda products available for purchase. read more

I came in last month for a silk press and Sue did such a great job. She used great products and was super sweet! Will definitely be coming back (: read more

I had to drop my rating down. This salon was good for my first time but trying to get an appointment and the professionalism is lacking. The last time I made an appointment, I rushed to make it to the salon from work to find the place shut down at 6pm. I never received a call or anything. Also it's a local hangout for people which is also a turn off, i didnt feel comfortable leaving my things around. For the prices and the neighborhood, they really need to step their game up. read more

So, I'm only going to write a review about Patrick, whom I LOVE! Like legit love. Hence why this is the longest review EVER. I followed Patrick to this salon actually. I was going to Monica's on Washington when he was there, but when he quit, I was with him. Anyway, I have been with Patrick since 2008 -- I had recently cut all my hair off, but still had a perm. The man does a phenomenal wash and wrap. Always compliments. Then as I started to grow out, he and I noticed a little breakage -- my hair is very fine and fragile and perms just weren't working for me... This had been a trend for YEARS. So I went natural. Patrick also works with women transitioning from relaxed to natural and, of course, with those who have completed the transition. He tried all different styles on me -- Rod sets, twist outs, flat ironing. Before I went natural, we had also done wash and wraps (as mentioned) and wash and sets. The only two times that I was ever unhappy with my hair in the last 3 years were once, when I got a wash and set and he did exactly as I requested, but it just didn't come out as expected, and a second time when i got a twist out and it just looked a hot mess. This second time, I told him I didn't like it and he let me come back later that week and did a press for free. I have gotten several of my friends to come to Patrick for weaves (the man can SEW) and one friend actually flew him to MN just to do her and the rest of the bridal party's wedding hair. He has such an extensive skill set (he also does locks, twists, interlocking, keratin, etc.), it's hard to believe that only one person on here has actually gone to see Patrick as opposed to the others that work in the salon. At any rate, I started going less frequently when I started practicing doing my own hair, but I still go to him for my trims, coloring, and I stop in whenever I'm in the area to say hi. Patrick is very pleasant and courteous. He is also not pushy which is how we bonded as I cannot stand when someone ignores me to do whatever they want with my hair for my money. He is a highly skilled stylist. The downsides to Patrick are that 1) Since he's not pushy, sometimes he won't tell you if something won't look good. I think it just requires that you ask him what he thinks, then he'll tell you the truth. 2) He actually works in Florida and Atlanta as well, so he flies out every other week which means that you may not get him when you want him. 3) He get's hella busy and you can be there for hours, though that has not happened to me in about a year. 4) It can be expensive. Based on our longstanding relationship, he still charges me the lower prices that he was when I first started going to him, but his prices have increased since then. I would tell you what they are, but I honestly have no idea. Finally, I cannot speak on the rest of the staff really. It's generally pretty quiet in there when I go -- me patrick and the tv. But sometimes the other women are in there. They've never been anything but nice to me, BUT as a Caribbean woman myself, I realize that sometimes West Indians can come off a bit harsh. At the same time, if you felt offended that's obviously unacceptable customer service. But I don't think Patrick would have been the offender. Long story short, go to Patrick for almost ANYTHING hair related. The man is ill. OH and in terms of making an appt, I have never called the salon. I just text him. But I'm sure you can ask for him specifically when you call. read more

been meaning to write this review for some time! will never ever ever go back here again! Since this place is right around the corner frm my apt, I really wanted to like this place but no way! the customer service is a joke. When I came in the owner? head stylist? was sitting out on a lawn chair in front of the salon gossiping w/ some random and me approaching them for my appt seemed more like an intrusion. once inside, someone else washed, shampood and flat iron'd me. this stylist burned me more than a few times w/ the iron b/c a few days after leaving the salon, my scalp had scabs on them! as if I got a relaxer and was chemically burned! Bananas!!! Had to go to another salon, for a scalp treatment to undo the mess this place made! So in summary, save yourself the drama, go elsewhere. even in a pinch, dont even try it! read more

The first time going to this Salon by reading everyone's posts they really seem to impress, however after repeating a couple more times I started to notice price fluctuating, standards dropping and absolutely no customer loyalty. I won't come back, especially if Sue still works there (very rude woman, she needs customer relation lessons), unfortunately shes the manager! There are many more hair salons in the area who will offer consistency and a much more relaxed/stress free atmosphere. read more

I adored Sade - love love love her vibe and warm personality. I needed some love put into my natural hair after my mom took me to her place for my birthday and my hair subsequently fell out... Even after I went to Sade my hair was reduced to a patch but the protein treatments definitely helped the breakage come to a stop and more than all I appreciate her honesty. Nothing can compare to a stylist that is as invested in your hair as you are. I plan to go back to have her put in some faux locs or crotchet braids when I have more confidence that my hair can handle the tension. The fact that TWO people I know from college come here already?? - YES. Sade got the juice!! read more

My experience at "Lasting Impressions" salon was amazing!!! I truly recommend you take a visit and experience the magic yourself. I had a 12 noon appointment and walking in was breath taken. The salon is absolutely beautiful!! The decor, atmosphere and artwork blow me away. My appointment schedule was right on time, I was offered tea, coffee and water for comfort. The music was at the perfect level and well rounded to enjoy. I had no idea what I wanted done to my natural hair and didn't even know my hair type. My stylist gave me a free consultation and educated me about my own natural hair. She spoke to me and even went online to give me an idea of her vision for my hair and I loved it. Ms. Regal even showed me how to curl my own hair and told me about products that works for naturals such as myself. I am definitely going back to add color to my hair next. Not only do they specialize in natural hair but all hair types. read more

I was walking around the neighborhood and found this place. I checked online and saw that they were on yelp. I decided to give it a try since it had such good reviews. I went in as a walk in and Sade immediately greeted me. She asked what style I was looking to do, asked me questions about my hair. She really took the time to do an assessment. I was getting a simple press, but she did a fabulous job. My hair was looking like it was on its way to being damaged so recommended laying off the heat, and some styles I might consider. I just went back for my 2nd time. Sade gave me a rod set and it was AMAZING!! She is a wonderful stylist and very warm and professional. Don't be afraid to ask her questions. She's great! read more

I absolutely adore this place! I had the luxury of working with Sade and she did an amazing job on my Havana Twists! She was very welcoming and knowledgable of my hair needs. I have definitely made this my go-to salon! read more

My visit to Lasting Impressions was amazing.It was my first time there. I went in for a root touch-up and a trip. Martha matched the color perfectly and gave me a great cut. Very professional and listened to my needs. Will be read more

I have seen the same stylist for the last 6 years before moving to the neighborhood a few months ago, so I was really nervous about getting my hair cut by someone new. I was not disappointed by Tia. I was able to get an appointment within the week, and she called me a day after I booked to see if I wanted to come in for a consultation first. I elected to just come in for the appointment since my style is pretty straightforward. She greeted me right as I walked in. The shampoo, cut and blow out were great. It was so relaxing, I was ready to fall asleep in my chair. I only wish I had somewhere to go besides home afterwards because my hair looked so good for once. Def coming back. read more

Great space and service. They go by appointments which is a great plus. Spoke to sue on the phone and found out they also take walk-ins.They text you to confirm your appointment. The products are amazing. My hair was done by the stylist by the name of Sue. She was amazing great personality. I walked out of the salon with my hair bouncing and smelling fresh. read more

So I went in with damage from a previous blow out from the Dominican spot and was really worried about the condition of my hair. Even though I'm left with some straight strands that refuse to revert, Sade was able to give me the best wash and go I've ever had! The sista worked magic! My hair was super hydrated, elongated, bouncy, soft and it smelled awesome. All while providing a comfortable, professional, down to earth environment. I'm a fan. read more

I've been a customer of the owner of Lasting Impressions, Sue, since1994 and she never failed me. She a fabulous stylist. I'm never sure of how I want my hair styled. I'll have some ideas and she'll have some ideas, we put our ideas together and the finish product is always great. All my friends and family love what she does and few of them have become clients of the shop. Love Love Love Sue! read more

I got a keratin treatment here and I LOVE IT! My hair is so much softer. When I flat iron my hair it actually gets straight and does not immediately frizz up with a little rain or humidity which it used to. For such a simple process, I am really impressed with the results. read more

I have personally never in my 23 yrs. of life been to an actual hands on salon besides the Dominicans, (not taking anything away from them) but at 2 am in the morning I was up searching the web and fell upon Lasting Impressions. I can truly say you have a new customer for life! My appointment was with Sade and I absolutely adore her, she was down to earth and open with what I wanted, how the process would go and even asked me about my hairs history and where I want to see it down the line as far as health. Super personable and passionate about what she does!!!!! read more

Went to Lasting Impressions a couple months ago to get a relaxer. The owner did my hair, and she asked many questions about my hair texture and scalp sensitivity before she started. She chose a relaxer that worked well for people with sensitive scalps and I did not burn one bit! After the relaxer I got a blow out -- my hair looked amazing! I will booking them again. read more

I love this salon because Sade saved my curls! I have been going to Sade for a little over a year. When I first went to this salon I had color damaged natural hair and needed a serious cut because of all the damage. My hair was dry, splitting and honestly falling out. The thing I automatically liked about Sade was her professionalism. She didn't speak badly about my hair even though it was a mess and took her time working with my hair. She didn't try to up sell me during my consultation and gave me simple advice for my hair that has worked wonders! I've gone back to her to do protein treatments, twist outs and Marley twists which come out beautiful. When she does my trims they are precise and I can honestly say my hair is thriving. My curls have come a long way with Sade's care. read more

I was booked for a bob cut appointment with color and my stylist, Sade was funny, professional and courteous. She took her time to analyze my hair before coloring it to give a complete consultation. After the wash and color she gave me a long bob cut which I adored! I would go back again to Sade as she did a through job with care and concern of my overall hair health and not just a hot style. Which I did receive in the end! My first impression of Lasing Impressions is wonderful and at a fair price. read more

There is a disconnect between the receptionist and the stylists. The stylist was obviously over booked and I decided not to count that against her. I wanted a relaxer touch up and she told me she thought my hair wasn't ready yet. I though - ok maybe she just wants to protect my hair. I waited 30 minuted before I was shampooed. The girl who did it got water all over my face and soap in my eye. Then she put too many products in my hair. The blow dry was awful - she continually burned me. Then the stylist finally got to me and did an awful job straightening my hair. It was dry and I could have done a better job. I was really surprised because the first time I came to the salon , the stylist did a wonderful job on my relaxer. She was a little unprofessional - going out into the street to chat with friends - but my hair looked so good I didn't mind. read more

My name is Bianca Polo and I have been going to Sade to get my crotchet braids done since September. Sade is the QUEEN OF CROTCHET BRAIDS. She is amazing at what she does. I am so blessed to have her as my hair stylist. I will continue to support and show love because my hair looks fabulous. The treatments she use for dry natural hair is great. read more

In ALL fairness, I TRIED to wait and see if things would improve because the Salon carries AVEDA product, which is amazing for my hair. The first time I tried this salon was in April. My hair came out amazing. The Owner, Sue (who by the way is so obnoxious, she practically works by herself).... The second time my hair came out very nice as well, so I decided to go back. The next two times my hair came out average and only lasted for 2-3 days. The last straw was when I paid 120 for a weave and it LEGIT started coming out DAYS later. Sue is RUDE, has POOR customer service, ARGUES with her clientel, and is just inconsiderate. I will admit she has a few customers (older) who faithfully come to her. For the salon to be so beautiful, its always EMPTY. Sue hired a new man, who is AMAZING. I watched him do someone elses hair, and I was PISSED I didnt choose him to do my hair. I do NOT reccomend this Salon to ANYONE. While Sue has been in business for 10 years, she is too lazy and arrogant to fully concentrate on her clients needs. She comes off as very knowledgable, which she IS... but her words do NOT match her skills and presentations... to top things off, this the salons prices are ABSURD for the results... If you MUST try the guy and ONLY the guy... read more

It feels so wonderful to have finally found a salon that I feel completely comfortable in. There is a such a peaceful, warm vibe to this salon. Sade has been my stylist for a few months now, and she is by far the best and most attentive that I've had, and great to chat and joke with. I highly recommend her if you want to look and feel your best. read more

I had an excellent experience. I walked in without an appointment and Sade took me right away. She helped me find a style to fit my face and gave me a treatment to bring my hair back to good health. I will definitely go again. read more

I Loooved my experience at this salon. Sade was AMAZING!!!. She took the time out to learn about my hair (I'm natural...and struggling at it) and to recommend tips for how to protect my own hair and keep it healthy. She did an amazing job on my crochet weave, no words for how happy I was. Sade was a perfectionist and cut and shaped my hair to both our liking. I will definitely be coming back again! Yes its expensive but for the excellent job Sade did it was well worth it! read more
