I went in two weeks ago looking to get highlights for a fresh summer glow, and Ava was amazing from start to finish. She was incredibly kind, took the time to understand exactly what I wanted, and guided me toward the best option for my hair. Even though highlighting is a detailed and time-intensive process, Ava's attention to detail was exceptional! When it came time to choose the right shade, she brought out a color swatch book and walked me through the different tones, helping me find the one that would complement me best. I really appreciated how personalized the experience felt, and I loved being able to look through all the color options myself. Ava is a talented stylist who genuinely cares about her clients and their results. I left feeling refreshed, confident, and like a whole new person. I couldn't be happier with my highlights and would highly recommend her! read more

Love the haircut i got from Ava here! I was reluctant to cut my hair too short but she walked me through her recommended approach without pressuring me to agree to something I didn't want. My baby layers turned out great and I know i'll be back. read more

I did not enjoy my service here. While everyone was very nice, my original appointment was pushed back half an hour with less than an hour notice (I was already on my way when I got a text about this). I then ended up waiting longer, so my appointment didn't start until 45 minutes after my original time. Due to this, it seemed like my service was very rushed and I was unhappy with how the cut came out. I had to go back in the following week to have it touched up. 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 read more

I originally had a less than perfect experience here but the location manager Ashley went out of her way to make it right for me. She recut and redyed my hair and it was very clear she's very talented at what she does, she is also very personable and just a joy to be around. I will definitely be back! read more

I came in to get a hair cut with Ava having an idea of what I wanted but not knowing exactly what and she did an amazing job helping me!! She explained everything so thoroughly and made sure I knew what was going to be done before starting which made me feel super comfortable and I trusted her immediately. I'm super happy with how it turned out and I will definitely be coming back to her for my future cuts. She was also so sweet and friendly and made the whole experience enjoyable!! read more

Had such a great experience here last weekend! Ava was my stylist and totally nailed it. I came in with a mix of inspo pics, and she helped me pull out the best parts, then talked everything through so we were on the same page. I went for full bangs (ah!), and she made it feel totally manageable by showing me how to style them with easy tips to make sure I could do it on my own. Ava is fantastic and made the whole appointment feel fun and relaxed. I left loving my hair and will definitely be booking with Ava again! read more

Really disappointing first experience here. I booked a color appointment a month in advance with a senior stylist to get a time after 5pm, only to have it randomly canceled via text by the stylist two days before. There was no apology or effort to find a time that worked for me to reschedule. I also emailed the salon to make them aware of the situation and to get help rescheduling, but never received a response. At this point, I won't be trying to make another appointment here. read more

Thank you Gail for fixing my hair. I had a really bad experience getting my hair bleached that turned very orange and Brassy and Gail fixed it to make it look more blended. Can't me happier. I would totally trust her with my hair and you should too! read more

I have dark brunette hair and I haven't dyed my hair in ages, so I was super nervous about making an appointment to add some color to my hair. In the past, my dye experiences at other salons were always disappointing. It never turned out how I wanted. First off, everyone here is super friendly and instantly put me at ease. Gail was amazing from the start, making me feel very comfortable. I loved chatting with her! She listened to my ideas and then worked her magic. She gave me the most gorgeous and subtle brown highlights that totally revived my hair--it's everything I wanted and more! I can't wait to go back for my touch-up! I highly recommend Gail and Little Lion if you're a brunette or blonde thinking about getting highlights or a haircut. The salon is adorable, and the vibe is just perfect! read more

Ashmaly was great and gave me a haircut I loved! The salon was huge + clean and it was easy to get an appointment. Would recommend!

I started going to Bri for curly hair cuts last year and expressed my concern with how thin my hair was. She suggested curly hair extensions (which I didn't know were possible) and she truly changed my life. She matched them perfect to my curl type and color and I am obsessed! Bri's work has given me confidence and she is so good at what she does! read more

I just came from here and OMG my hair is perfect. Bri did my hair and it looks great. She was so helpful in figuring out the shape I wanted, the length I wanted, the products I need to use. It's really refreshing to have someone do my curly hair that knows what they're doing. She made me feel really confident leaving and that's exactly what I said I needed when I sat in the chair. Oh! And the place is cute too. Spacious, comfy and trendy. read more

I've been coming here for a few years now and am obsessed! Bri is amazing - so fun, attentive, and talented!! I will never go to anyone else for my cut and blonde color - she understands my hair so well and does an incredible job every time. The whole staff is so nice, the salon is gorgeous, and it's overall just a great place to go. Highly recommend!! read more

I came in for what was supposed to be a trim to keep my hair healthy and walked out with broken and damaged hair. I have very fine and thin hair which I made sure to point out to the stylist - after my cut she put rollers into my hair which got stuck and she literally had to rip them out of my head - she was sooooo rough with my delicate hair I have NEVER experienced styling like this. When I walked out of the appointment I had a new fuzzy halo of broken hair all around my head and am discovering more places where it is broken off every day. When I emailed the salon to address this with them directly they offered me a $50 credit for next time I came back and said that they know that "noticing changes after a haircut can be frustrating"... as if I would ever go back. read more

Got a glow with Scott and it was perfect!! I was a bit unsure of exactly what I wanted going in but we talked through the options and he really listened and gave great advice - didn't try to upsell me or anything just really listened to what I wanted and made it happen. I have had so many treatments on my hair but have never left a salon feeling more confident/satisfied with my look. Def will be coming back for him as well as the whole studio seemed really nice, everyone's hair looked great, they offered coffee/tea/water and were really well priced for the area. read more

Kyra did an amazing job with my hair, and I've been getting compliments ever since my service! I was looking for a new stylist in NYC to help refresh my hair before heading out on vacation later in the month. I requested a cool toned lived in balayage with a shadow root and she nailed it. Kyra was very thorough in our consultation before she started the process and checked in with me throughout to make sure I was comfortable. Highly recommend coming to Kyra + Little Lion if you're looking for someone to do your hair! read more

I'm so glad I found Simone when I moved here to Brooklyn. She really listened to exactly what I wanted and executed it flawlessly! She's great at lived-in blonde color as well as cuts. I think the price point is really fair and service is above and beyond :) Already have my next appointment scheduled!! read more

Little Lion Salon - Lived-in blonde by Simone - Hair Salons Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Shout out to Ally! I had went full platinum blonde/teal/pink 5 years ago and am understandably hesitant to dye my hair blonde again due to fear of breakage and uneven lifting. After a few years of playing with the idea of a full-head balayage with money pieces framing the face, I finally pulled the trigger and Ally Mammana made my inspiration a reality. Ally is transparent and mindfully walks me through her thought process on each step. She is in tune with her clients and makes sure to ask you what you want, manages your expectations and gets you as close to what you are aiming for or better. It felt like just chatting with a friend. She made the 4-hour process an absolute breeze (granted I mostly sat there). She was able to get me balayage-blonde while maintaining my hair's integrity, and even suggested adding a brown at my roots to help blend it better. I appreciate her patience and attention to detail throughout. Ally asked me how I wanted to style my hair and curling my new blonde locks made me look and feel even more fabulous. I have gotten lots of compliments so far on the new look and I haven't been able to keep from checking myself out in the mirror. Thank you again Ally and cannot wait to check in for another session! read more

Simone is the absolute best!! She gave me the flippy, layered, cool girl hair of my dreams and a perfect glaze. She immediately understood what I was going for and was super knowledgeable and helpful. It was so fun getting my hair done by her and I'll definitely be back! read more

I came into Little Lion with a pretty vague idea of what I wanted- I knew I wanted to do a summer red and that's about it. Gail helped talk me through different options and examples so knew what we were going for and I could not be happier with the results! This redhead is ready for summer!! She also did a great job with my haircut. The space is beautiful and I'm so lucky they opened on my block. And bonus- the WiFi is strong so I was able to get some work in while getting my hair done. I will definitely be coming back in the future. read more

I got my haircut and colored by Scott; all I can say is he is fantastic! Hands down, it is one of the best haircuts I have ever had, and I will continue to get my hair done by him. The salon is so spacious and lovely too. read more

I absolutely loved my experience here with Ally! I needed a refresh on my cut/color and she absolutely killed it. I naturally have very dark hair but have spent the last couple of years fronting as a balayage blonde. My color had gotten VERY brassy and had lost some of the great dimension that a previous stylist had built up. Ally brought all of that back and then some! She also did a great fix on a shag that had gotten a little TOO shaggy and we're on our way to building back some of the volume I've been missing with all of the choppy layers. Great vibe in the salon too--on a weekday afternoon it was chill but not too quiet and super easy to get to from the L/G at Metropolitan. Will definitely be coming back! read more

Dark brown haired clan! Or anybody, really. If you need the perfect shades of brown for a subtle balayage, Danielle is your person! First off, she is the friendliest, most helpful and communicative person. Truly passionate about what she does, and it shows. I came across her work on Instagram and knew I did not need to show her all the reference photos I saved onto my phone. (I showed her 2, and one was her work.) But mainly, I said this is what I'm going for, and she knew what to do. I've been doing boxed dyes since the pandemic hit, and my hair was a mix of red and black undertones unevenly throughout. She got rid of both (and I had never been able to get rid of my red undertones! Couldn't be happier with the results. read more

I had been going to another salon for quite some time until they ruined my hair and left it yellow and super streaky. I didn't feel confident to go back to my old salon after how bad my hair was, so I decided to try out little lion instead. I found Ashley on instagram and showed her my hair and she provided me with so much reassurance. When I showed up to the salon, she was the most inviting and caring stylist I had met and she walked me through exactly how she would fix my hair. She's a rockstar and left me feeling so much better than I thought I would feel. I'm 1000% going back and I love to know that I found my people at Little Lion (Can't add a pic for some reason, but I'll try to add it! ) read more

Simone did a wonderful job in my lived in blonde color treatment! She is so warm, kind, and funny which made it an extra enjoyable experience. I have seen a couple others from the salon and none of them disappoint. Highly recommend Little Lion! read more

Can't say enough great things about this salon and Ashley! I booked a cut with Ashley not knowing what else to do with my old color and style. She made some suggestions for me and it turned out beautifully. Really happy with my experience! I didn't have a salon home in Brooklyn, but now I do! :) read more

Emily has been remarkable in fixing my hair after it was over bleached at another salon. I'm from South Florida and I make time to fly to New York just so she can do my hair. I truly will never trust anyone else! She was the first person to cut layers in my hair and I will never go back! See the one year comparison from the last time she did my hair, and the pics from this past weekend when she helped tone the blonde and blend a little more with my natural color. Whatever you want done Emily will exceed your expectations! Love her! read more

Received a full balayage from Ally last week at the open and airy Williamsburg location, and I couldn't be happier. The check-in: After checking in on the tablet, Ally greeted me and did a consult about what I was looking for. I generally said, "lighter" and then looked for a reference photo, which ended up being much more helpful. Ally reconfirmed how she interpreted what I was looking for and we aligned on what to expect. The service: Ally was so kind and helpful- offered water/coffee and was with me every step of the way from consult to wash and styling. The space: So bright, clean and airy enough that there's a beautiful live tree in the middle of the space! Magical. The end result: I couldn't be happier about the multidimensional, lower maintenance and overall lighter color! There was even another client in the salon who immediately gave me a compliment while Ally was blow drying my hair. Great experience, I'd go again and stick with Ally who was the utmost professional and kind stylist from the moment I met her. read more

This review is long overdue! I had had a string of not super great haircuts Simone turned that all around! Simone was so patient & truly listened to my hair journey and where I wanted it to go. She gave an amazing haircut! I'm so excited for my next appointment! read more

My hair is naturally dark brown and I've had it balayaged in the past. Let's just say it was way past it's due time for a cut and color. The bottom was basically blonde and looked like a mess. I feel like it's much easier to find stylists who do blonde highlights, so I was stoked to find Danielle!! She does brunettes really well, I feel like my hair has more dimension. I have A LOT of cow licks on my head, particularly at the front and she worked them so well. I got a layered cut which I haven't had in years and I loooove it!!! read more

This was my first and definitely without a doubt my last visit to this salon. It was a hot day and they do provide you with refreshment la croix upon checking in which was great. I had to wait an extra 30 plus minutes while the hair stylist finished her prior client (even when this client finished the client went onto jibber jabber eating into my time). I had booked a Natural and Olaplex which was supposed to create an all over natural color I was quickly dismissed by the stylist who stated that my expectation and what I ordered could not be done today. She then proceeded to look at her phone. I didn't care for her attitude especially since another client's appointment went into my time and the stylist didn't care to give me a good first impression. Plus, I had a date the next date. All she would do is tone, olaplex and blowout. Honestly, I knew she was lying about it taking a few sessions to achieve my expectation bc if you go to the Greenpoint salons (which I should have stuck with) I would have walked out with what I requested the same day. read more

I have been a loyal customer of Fox and Jane for years. Unfortunately the stylist I usually go to moved and I was left searching! Jump to Little Lion opening a five minute walk from me. Score! Being able to walk in to a new stylist and give just little direction as to what you want I'm sure is annoying, but Gail executed exactly what I wanted! She was calm, welcoming, professional and knowledgeable. I am extremely happy with how my hair turned out. I have gotten so many compliments already and it's only been 2 days. Thanks Gail! You've got yourself a new regular. read more

I would definitely recommend this hair salon to anyone interested in reaching their hair goals or getting the hair of their dreams I booked a "dual technique" with Danielle and she exceeded my expectations! Danielle took the time to address any hair concerns I had, what I expected from the appointment and discussed the overall health of my hair. I told her my "goal hair" and understood that I would need multiple sessions to achieve my desired result since my hair is naturally dark. I also have a lot of hair, so my appointment lasted much longer than we expected and she still took her time and showed that she cared about my hair and what I wanted. Danielle was easy to talk to and made the overall experience an enjoyable one. Her assistant as well as other stylists were extremely friendly and the overall ambiance made you feel comfortable while getting your hair done. The salon is clean, spacious with great taste in music and is aesthetically pleasing. I already have my next appointment booked! Thanks Danielle! read more

Stylist -Ally! This was my first session with Ally and I am super satisfied with how my hair came out. Honestly this picture does not do it justice. My roots grew out since it has been a while since I had gotten it touched up and Ally was super thoughtful and had great recommendations. She was down to earth and knew exactly what I was thinking even if I was unable to articulate it. I was ready for a Fall color and this hair GAVE All OF THAT. Everyone at work has been complementing how this work of art looks and I cannot disagree. The ambiance of the salon is also relaxing. It's chic, modern and makes me feel good to be there. read more

Little Lion Salon - Partial Balayage - - Hair Salons Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I was looking to go from my natural brown hair to a hot pink. Found this cute spot with a stylist who specializes in pink! I hit the jackpot! Danielle started with a video chat when I requested a consultation to go over the process and any questions I had and to review my reference pic. When I got to the salon, everything was beautiful and looks very clean! Danielle did my hair much quicker than expected, about 3 hours, while also teaching a new up and coming stylist (Emily, I believe). Both women were very nice and made me feel comfortable throughout the entire process. She was consistently ensuring I was comfortable with everything and keeping me updated on the processes and what she was doing. Overall this was the best hair color job that I've ever received and I will definitely be coming back here for my touch ups. read more
