Communicate with your stylist! I've gone to Nass twice for small long knotless box braids and she did an amazing job. The second time her daughter did my hair and again, amazing. I simply told her what I wanted and she did it. I expressed I didn't want anything too heavy so she used less hair braiding. I brushed the baby hairs I wanted and it's been over a week with little to no frizz. Great prices too. This is not a new aged salon with ridiculous booking fees and 1000 rules. I woke up called and came in. Come thru and get your hair braided by a real stylist with actual experience.

her Old salon in bensonhurst: http://www.yelp.com/biz/punk-style-brooklyn…read more The first time I went with Lora was when she had the "Punk Style" salon in bensonhurst. I didnt ask for anything specific then but she was arrogant and obnoxious know it all. OK, Being that I didnt say specificaly waht I wanted I was happy and so was my friend that went with her. I didnt go back to her because her atidtude was always "I know what you want" before you even half way your sentence and then shes all like "of course you like it" because shes hair god. I found out she opened her new shop by my house which I was already going to an amazing hair salon in bensonhurst called "Delaqua" pricey but their craft is totally worth it. I just hated the commute so decided to give Lora a shot again. Background info I have my cosmetology license and do hair also, its just nice to be pampered from time to time. I colored my hair as a base color mahogany, and went to her for highlights and just a root touchup. I show her a pictyure because her accent is so strong its just impossible to understand her. And she tells me I know what you want" well ok then. Her shop is small and super cluttered, no where to comfortably sit. Her assistant speaks no english and i'm sure it hurt her to smile. I waited about 20 mins to get seated at her chair because she was on thephone, talking to a vendor and doing someone else's hair... I finally get seated I tell her again how I want it she obviously says she did my base color because its amazing... i correct her and say I did it myself actually. So she tells me to pick a color from her Magma color swatches so I show her the picture and again say 'I want these highlights those arent the color I want dont you have more tones?' and she said ' I don't use bleach'.. (clearly been using the same colors all these years maybe she should consider bleach or atleast expanding her hair products...) So we pick a color and I say I guess were going to have to go for a natural blended look, And she says I know what to do. She takes me to the shampoo bowl and gives me a shampoo cap... which is just washing your hair with shampoo and bleach she tried to say its a special lightneing way that wont damage the hair, again I remind her I know what it is.. I do hair. but this isnt my first choice ever for anyone. So again I just wanted my hair to be done and not think about it just let me relax so as I was waiting for this to be washed off which i thought was gonna be like 2 mins because again this is bleach on your whole head and scalp, a Russian woman obnoxiously comes in speaking loud and laughing over my head the place is a closet why would she be yelling ?! so im annoyed because I'm sick of being in the bowl and she yelling and i'm not getting exactly what I wanted. 30 mins went by i get washed by her troll face assistant, my hair has just been bleached for 30 mins you have to be gentle so it wont break,,, what does she do? she treats my hair as if its a brillo pad. I have thick straight silky hair. so i tell her be gentle please your 1. hurting me and 2. my hair has just been bleach what are you doing?? I go back on the chair and she decides its not light enough so again I go to the shampoo cap and I say your going to damage my hair. and now she says no no its gentler now and a russian man in his thick accent tells my bf that was patientlty waiting "very indecisive girl" and my bf says no she came in with a picture" and im in the bowl for 10 mins more now i feel my hair so dry and i ask for a conditioning treatment and says yes we will. (never did) finally 1.5 hours later, we get to the highlights in like a red color and lets me wait. so now my hair is patchy: the roots are yellow with my natural dark brown spots, the ends are orange and she says "after this i blowdry you. And I look at her like shes joking and I say what about my roots and the yellow? and she says no its blended only now its because its wet.... annoyed she puts a Violet color... how did she get violet from the mahagony color I came in with that I wanted to stay that color just add highlights and retouch the roots? finally its washed off so I get it blow dried and now my hair is engine red and no highlights to be found and im about to burst into tears because 4 hours later I look like a BAD Rihanna job- Im Olive skin tone I didn't go there to get a Hood rat makeover. she hands me over a 250. bill, I say I didnt ask for all this I just wanted my highlights why am I getting charged over 200?!?! no haircut just damage! I went home looked at my hair and scoped it. The back was patchy and brassy orange, hot roots, the highlights blended with the base color, my hair felt like hay. A month later I ahd to cut my waist long hair to shoulder length because how damaged it is, my scalp gets dry and itchy thanks to her "gentle special process of lightening" she doesnt listen to you and needs to update her products and knowledge. DO NOT GO TO HER

I went here a few years ago and I still have trouble with my hair. I have very fine hair, so when…read moreshe used hot scissors on me the first time I didn't know any better. It looked fine at first but when my hair started growing it would just stick out in all directions, so I lost the ability to have super long hair. The second time I went to her I asked her not to use them, but she did it anyway. Her arrogance doesn't permit her to give her clients the haircut/style they want. My hair was further damaged by the hot scissors. It took me 3 years to grow out my hair to a semi decent length. I would always have to cut it because my hair was flat at the top and horizontal on the bottom. Definitely avoid this place!!

I absolutely love Carolin! She specializes in hair care and has led my entire transition from…read morerelaxed to natural. I am an African American woman who wore relaxed hair for about 17 years. I was nervous about a big chop so she cut a couple inches at a time and took amazing care of my hair until all of the relaxer was removed. I like that her shop is a bit smaller because even if she can't get to me on a particular day, she always oversees and directs the other very skilled ladies in her shop w my treatments. Of course, I prefer her touch but I always feel comfortable in the continuity of treatment because Carolin knows my hair and my hair goals. She's affordable and doesn't suggest treatments to make money, rather, to ensure my hair is slayed every time I leave. My forever hair salon! I highly recommend!

I am thrilled that Christie and Pooja have launched Common Good NYC - they are smart, savvy,…read morehard-working experts in their field who live and breathe their craft. They are genuinely nice and care about their customers - it's much more than lip service. It feels like a welcoming family grounded in fantastic hair! Zero attitude or snootiness here. I have been going to Christie for 6+ years now, and have never felt better about my hair. I am an icy platinum blonde and she nails this color every single time - it's remarkable that she has never once produced an off result. If she can do this with platinum, I have the utmost confidence in her ability to pull off any other color as platinum is the most difficult. Christie is not only an expert colorist, but also a fantastic conversationalist. Every visit is relaxing and enjoyable. If you are looking to try a new salon, I give Common Good the biggest thumbs up possible.

The vibe here is a little less welcoming but there is no harm intended. I come to this location when I want to be in and out.
