Turned my brassy orange hair into this??? How??
Julie Y.

Jenny has the hands of a god! I had to cancel last minute because I became sick she didn't charge me and I wound up coming in the next day and I'm so glad I did! She gave me the exact color I wanted! Couldn't be happier.

Warm and dynamic chocolate brown cut and color, by Madeleine P. at Little Lion Salon in Park Slope, BK
Rachel A.

When I arrived, my hair was a tragic range of different brown colors from home box dye experiments. It really needed a professional hand to even out the color and give it some love. Madeleine P. came to the rescue and created such a natural, warm, chocolate brown color that I love. 10/10 would recommend.

Beautiful blonde color by Sarah!

I've seen Scott three times now for highlights and a cut, and I love how my hair looks! I'm mostly maintaining my blonde color and length, and he's managed to keep it looking natural and healthy. Aside from the great technique, he's super personable and follows up in between appointments which is a great touch. Highly recommend! The reason I started seeing Scott is less than thrilling though and hopefully something the salon can improve on. I've been a loyal client of Sarah's for over 2 years. She cancelled an appointment with me last minute the day before a color appointment due to a personal situation. Since Little Lion is part of Fox & Jane, they don't have their own receptionist and I was informed by an automated text. They offered me a make-up appointment for the next week, but I had scheduled travel plans around my hair appt since she is always busy. The only other date they could offer me was TWO MONTHS later! Aka after when my next appt was scheduled for and way too late for a fake blonde like myself... The only reason I found Scott was because I went on their website on my own and found a time; the text receptionist didn't apologize nor offer to help me. Emergencies happen and appointments will be rescheduled, but I was shocked by how indifferent and unhelpful they were, when I wasn't at fault. I've been a loyal client of the salon, buying gift certificates and tipping during the pandemic, and scheduling appts 6 months out. Because of this snafu, I was unable to get back on Sarah's books. I hope the salon recognizes that hiring a receptionist or otherwise working with clients 1:1 is valuable, since it was surprising to be treated as disposable.

I had such an amazing experience with Scott my first time visiting Little Lion! I did a ton of research when trying to find a new stylist for my highlights and after finding Scott and finding out there wasn't an available appointment for 3 months (!) I was super skeptical. In fact, I was so skeptical (also unemployed) that I actually bought box dye on Amazon and sincerely considered cancelling my appointment. I'm SO glad that I didn't. The salon is lovely! When I arrived (definitely 5 minutes late, which they didn't call me out on) everyone was so nice! I had a color overhaul in store for me so I got to witness several of the stylists work their magic on other women (including a pretty major color correction) and everyone is clearly incredibly talented. (Also the young woman next to Scott's station is HILARIOUS! I hope you have the best time in Paris!) And Scott. What a magician. I am NOT great at explaining what I want done to my hair (which is probably why I've been unhappy with it for so long) but after showing Scott ONE picture - and then telling him but not that blonde, or really that tone, but like *that* (::gestures wildly::) he got it. Scott did a great job of explaining what and why he was doing what he was, but he was SO fast that I continued to be skeptical the entire time I sat in the chair. He mentioned low lights, and fixing my roots, and also brightening the blonde especially in the front but I just saw him putting in foils. SILLY ME - Scott was low lighting, and highlighting my hair (with balayage AND foils) at the same time. He also was NICE (while still being honest!) I can't recall another experience with a stylist where they complimented my hair and didn't berate me as a way to buy products. In fact Scott didn't bully me into buying anything - or even making a super quick follow up appointment. My next appointment is for 4 months from now. He explained to me that he really tries to give his customers low maintenance styles while making them look as gorgeous as they want. This place is not cheap, but I spent less here than I have at other places in BK and Manhattan (including The Bird House) and it was definitely worth it to me. This is also the quickest I have EVER had my hair highlighted and cut. (3 hours!) There were only two detractors (one minor, one less so, but I'm guessing temporary) neither of which keep this from being a five star experience: 1. The drink choices are only still and sparkling, which is great (and the sparkling is Perrier so *fancy*) but if I'm spending $400 dollars on my hair, a glass of wine would be nice. 2. The day I was there, there was no hot water. They handled it super well, and I'm sure my hair is shinier because of the cold water washing, but not ideal when you're spending this kind of money. Can't wait to come back in November! Thank you, Scott!

New cut & color
Nina S.

Honestly I could not recommend Little Lion more. Tania at Little Lion has been my stylist going on two years now and I LOVE her and her work. She really understands my hair (which is not the most straightforward to work with, with straight and curly parts, and a cowlick in the bangs); she listens to my ideas (even when they're not that well-articulated -- English is not my first language, and I'm pretty terrible at hair-specific vocabulary) and thinks about how to make them work, and has suggested some other great approaches that I would not have thought of -- all to just fantastic effect. She has truly made me see my hair with new eyes, and has taken it to a whole new level. I went from feeling pretty ugh about my hair to being really into it, even trying new cuts and bold color. (Best compliment so far: a random stranger yelling at me on the street, "hair! It's awesome! Who did it?") Not only is Tania a fantastic professional, she's also so enjoyable to be around -- as is everyone that I've experienced at Little Lion: such a welcoming and friendly atmosphere, it always feels like a treat to come here. As an aside, as a cat person I've enjoyed the little, tasteful hints to kitties throughout the space and the conversation :) I've been recommending the salon, and Tania in particular, to several of my friends. I've always felt safe here (even when covid was pretty bad), respected, seen, and celebrated. Thank you! One thing I'd give folks a heads-up about is that they tend to book out quickly (which speaks to their popularity), so you'll want to try and book early.

YAS glow !

I was recommended this place and For Danielle to do my color. I saw her work on Instagram and was very impressed at her hair painting skills! I felt she was a great match for what I was looking for. The place is a hidden cozy gem on 4th Ave in Brooklyn. They are set up properly during Covid, and very safe. It seems they are doing anything and everything they can to make everyone safe. Danielle was wonderful, educational, and friendly. She is very talented and KNOWS WHAT SHE IS DOING. She also knows HOW TO RUN A BUSINESS- and that is something many business owners lack. Little Lion is killin it! A Brooklyn must try for artsy females to get creative color done. Full of the best products, people, and color!

I found Jenny while looking for a natural balayage specialist to switch up my super overgrown, ashy CoVid look. And I'm so glad I reached out to her and patiently waited for months before I could see her. I showed her couple of pictures of what I had in mind and she absolutely delivered. I'm super happy with the results and can't wait for my next appointment. She is such a sweet person and gave me multiple tips on how to style my hair. Highly recommend Jenny!!

Before pic (the infamous Quarantine Cap)
Kristine N.

I have not stopped showing off these before and after pix! If I have your number in my phone, I'm texting these pix to you!!! My mom/coworkers/friends/people from high school trying to sell me essential oils/Bumble date who ghosted me - you're all getting these pix sent to you because EVERYONE NEEDS TO SEE THE FINEST BALAYAGE WORK BY SUPREME QUEEN JENNY P!!!! I had the most hideous quarantine cap (a Quarantine Cap is hair that has not been colored in months due to quarantine so your roots have grown out and look like a Brunette beanie hat/cap). Jenny's paint brush was more like a magic wand! Look at all that dimension! Cannot. Stop. Raving. About. It. I felt completely comfortable and extremely safe at Little Lion. Everyone wore masks and gloves. Each station was wiped down numerous times. There was hand sanitizer everywhere. Shower curtain dividers. Supreme hygiene galore! Covid is denied at the door like a drunk girl trying to get into the club! I arrived at 10am, chatted with Jenny for a few minutes about what color I was going for and compared balayage inspo-pix, and then she got to work. [Be sure to check out her insta for a time lapse of the whole process @hair.by.jenny] By 3pm, after coloring, an olaplex treatment, and a blow out, this gorgeous blonde creation came to life! Thank you so much to Jenny and Little Lion for giving me one of the brightest days I've had in 2020! See you in November for a touch-up!!!

Kathryn S.

I found Little Lion Salon and stylist Jenny after my salon closed due to Covid, and I feel so grateful! I think going in blind to a new salon found online in NYC can be nerve wracking, but this was the first color I've had in over a year and half, and it's the best I've ever had! Every image these stylists post on instagram is gorgeous flawless color, and my in person experience was no different. Worth every penny, worth the wait, and I'm excited to have a new home neighborhood place to look forward to going to. I'd give ten stars if I could!

Dual process by Abigail
Liz Q.

This was my second time going to Little Lion Salon and having Abigail as my stylist. Abigail is a gem! She asks lots of questions to make sure she understands what you are looking for and is also upfront about the pricing before the appointment begins. I have had my hair cut twice by her before with great result but this was my first time doing color and she did not disappoint! I left with my hair feeling happy, healthy and my confidence boosted since my color looked so good. ‍ Abigail really takes the time to care about what you want and it shows every step of the way - I highly recommend visiting her for all your styling needs! From a safety perspective, Little Lion Salon is taking all the right precautions. Masks are required for the whole visits, stations separated and sanitized after every use and hand washing required the second you walk in. They also ask a serious of questions to every client to make sure they are following proper guidelines. I was a bit nervous returning to the salon but felt safe in their hands!

Loved my experience with Kayla! I got a haircut and highlights around my face. She was so sweet and patiently toned my highlights until they were exactly how I wanted them. 100% recommend!

Hair the day after cut and color by Danielle Fall 2021

Updating my review to five stars based on Little Lion partnering with me to fix the original cut and color. Little Lion sent me about half the amount as a store credit. Given the gesture I decided to try the salon out again. I returned today to the Williamsburg location. Brittney transformed my hot mess of hair into a sophisticated, multifaceted, and perfectly cut masterpiece (see newest image). Brittney took the time to consult with me and understand my preferences and habits. She even found the perfect shade for my skin tone. Danielle, who originally cut and colored my hair, seemed genuinely positive in her interactions with me. It is super mature of her (and shows her business savvy) to work with me through this and turn the latest visit into such a delightful one that I will now be a net promoter. PS the Williamsburg location is gorgeous

See all
