What hair salon has 5 star reviews that are real? Power Hair. Walking into this place is like a breath of fresh air. It's perfect for people like me who are claustrophobic and anxious, there is a lot of open space, it's perfectly decorated, and the stylists are incredibly kind. I came here after seeing Kat's fantasy colors on Instagram and had to give her a shot at my hair. Well, she took my hair from L'Oréal's darkest box dye to a masterpiece I get complimented on daily... twice! I'll never switch salons. On top of that, my bands are incredibly difficult to cut. They always end up raising on the left side because I have a cowlick. Stylist usually keep cutting until my bangs are around lord Farquad length, which I personally don't enjoy on myself. I'm horrible and can't currently remember her name, but the wonderful babe who cut my bangs L i s t e n e d to me and I walked out of there with straight cut bangs that weren't shorter than I asked. I always expect them to get messed up as no one has cut them perfectly in over 10 years. I was so shocked. On top of that the salon is SO CLEAN. I'm a germaphobic creature with OCD, and seeing such a clean, great smelling bathroom is always refreshing. Their decorations are beautiful. You can also get tea and water to keep you hydrated. Thanks for being so dope guys! read more

I never leave reviews, but my curly cut at Power Hair was the best haircut i've ever gotten! I haven't had a haircut in almost two years and Gina not only gave me a fantastic haircut, but she brought my curls back to life. Booking was also quick and easy, as I was able to get an appointment on a Sunday on short notice. I will be back for a refresh and am so glad to have found a salon and hair dresser who matched my vision. read more

I had awful haircut experience with Gina at Power Hair starting with annoying process of making appointment which took 2 days of texting and deposit of 50%. The place is beautiful, but atmosphere and level of service were poor. Messy working stations, hairbrushes with someone's hair on them - I was the first customer of that day, powerless hairdryer, inappropriate conversations between coworkers while doing my hair didn't make my experience any better. Gina started talking about ineperfections of my previous haircut -ok, you are cutting my hair, make it better - at home, I noticed some hair strands were missed and not cut - it is slopy haircut for $105. read more

Madison has given me amazing haircuts for years. She's awesome. I'm only sharing my recent experience in case it helps others who do not prefer dogs in their hair salons. The last time I went to Power Hair, there was a barking, growling dog. I am scared of dogs and asked for it to be leashed twice. It was never leashed. Grateful it didn't go crazy during my haircut, but it did immediately after the blowout when another dog walked by the window. I appreciate that there are a lot of dog lovers in Brooklyn, but I am not one of them and felt bad paying so much money for a very uncomfortable 45 minutes. read more

Emily Landino is a magician! I came in with all black hair looking for an ash blonde balayage and she delivered in just one session. The results are absolutely beautiful, so expertly blended and multidimensional. The pricing is extremely reasonable at ~$250 and it only took 3 hours, including washing and styling. The salon itself is also beautiful and cozy. Highly recommend! read more

I have been a client of Kat Russo for 2 years since I moved to NYC from Los Angeles. Finding Kat on my first salon visit ever in the city was pure luck. Whether it's single process color to get back to my natural roots or hair painting to take a walk on the lighter side, Kat always delivers killer color. She has the best vibe, so the several hours in the salon breeze by and end up being a relaxing experience. If you're looking for Bushwick's best kept color secret, you've found your gal! As for cuts, Barbara is simply the best. Precision cutting, sectioning hair properly. Really taking the time and doing the work, even on long hair like mine. Long layers that perfectly air dry require a diligent cut and Barbara delivers! Barb and Kat combo is where it's at! You won't regret it. xx read more

Poor service lately. You request appointment and you get no response, very disrespectful. Every time I had trouble booking an appointment ( very busy). As far as I know, if you want to keep customers you accommodate them. I got the feeling I'm not wanted as a customer anymore so I found another place. read more

My daughter went in for a cut and color with Anna. The salon was accommodating and they were extremely nice! The prices are reasonable and the communication was excellent. They kept me informed and Anna even extended her personal information for future bookings. We will definitely be back! My daughter was so happy with her hair. read more

I've never had a better hair stylist than Amanda. No one even comes close. She understands what my hair wants and needs without me having to even say much! Plus she's always so easy and fun to talk to! It's obvious she cares a lot about her clients. read more

It was my first time at Power Hair and the whole process was great. I was at the salon for 4 hours but Anna colored my hair, blow dryed it and cut it. She was very attentive to what I wanted and constantly checked in. All the staff is very polite and kind. I love love my color and she made sure to give me shape! My hair was bouncy and vibrate. Will definitely come back for my color needs! read more

OK, listen. I am torn about leaving this review because y'all are going to book up all the appointments and that is inconvenient and terrible for me. However, I also need to do right by the amazing artists at Power Hair, because they have kept me looking right for years. First, Barbara's my #1 stylist for my natural 3b curls; she is the curl whisperer, seriously. She's away right now, which is the saddest thing, but Carli and Amanda will hold it down for the curly girls until she's back. Next, Kat is OUTRAGEOUS with color. This woman got my hair back to my natural color after I'd been committing box abuse against it for years. It is shiny, it is bouncy, it looks the same color as it did when I was a child. I was greatly afeared of coloring it permanently because I don't want to eff with my texture, but Kat knew exactly what to do and how to do it, and no curls have been harmed in the making of this color. *EVERYONE* at this salon is super, super cool and friendly and open. The vibe is very laid back and down-to-earth, even though they have the skills to be douchey. (They are NOT in ANY WAY.) When I wasn't happy with a cut I got, Amanda (the owner), brought me in on her day off (Labor Day) to get it to where I needed it (I teach 8th graders -- I need to bring my A game in all ways on the first day of school), and the person who'd done my hair initially came in to watch to learn some tips, and despite the awkward, was still nice and cool, and not awkward at all. (I was the awkward. The awkward was me.) That says a LOT about everyone involved, and it's all pretty good. So yes, come to Power Hair, get your hair did with fierce style and color, and live your best life. Just don't be booking up all my appointment times. read more

The owner is a gem, but everything else here is a disaster. Stylists who give uneven cuts and schedulers who will lose your appt. Go to another salon. read more

I got my hair cut for the first time by Samantha and she was wonderful. My hair is very long and I am Specific on the style. However, Sam did a great job. This was my first time visiting Power Hair Salon and I will be back. Great price point and extremely clean. Thank you!!! read more

I just had a haircut and hair color/balayage with Anna and I couldn't be happier with my hair! Actually, I've never in my life had a cut and color I love this much. Anna is so talented at what she does, and she's also very patient and understanding during the process. My hair is very thick and frizzy and I was nervous due to bad experiences in the past, but Anna really listened to what I wanted and knew what was best for my hair texture. She said she would not let me walk out with hair I didn't like and she delivered. I'm so happy!! I highly recommend Anna and power hair. Awesome salon, so happy I found them! read more

Carli did an amazing job on my hair! She listened to all my concerns and gave me a really beautiful, ashy blonde tone. My hair feels so much healthier and smoother since I came in. We also had a great conversation during the appointment. Would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great colorist. read more

I texted the day before in pm asking for quick cut. They quickly replied for 11:00am appointment for the following day. I simply choose this place lace because it was closed to my house and 5 starts. Sam took care of my cut today. She was so gentle, kind with perfection. My hair turned out to be super classy yet sexy and sophisticated. The space was very comfortable that my 2 year old daughter just sat and observed. Thank you for making me feel better!! read more

Hire Carli for your wedding styling needs! She did a great job on my wedding hair, and the hair for two of my bridesmaids and my mother-in-law. I got an updo with some baby's breath weaved in the back, and it was even better than I had imagined. My bridesmaids had their hair mostly down and my mother-in-law had an updo - they all got a lot of comments on how beautiful their hair looked. Carli spent a lot of time with me during my trial and over email to help me plan out our hairstyles, and the logistics for the morning. I felt completely at ease knowing that she took good notes from my trial, and she was very well prepared to tackle four hairstyles in one go. When it was time to do my hair the morning of my wedding, she made me feel both relaxed and excited for the day ahead. I also just love the space and location of the salon. It was very easy for me to quickly dip into a nail salon and then grab a healthy meal while others in my bridal party were getting their hair done. It was also the most affordable wedding hair package I could find in the area. Would highly recommend Carli to any bride getting married in the Bushwick area! read more

Unfortunately, I can't recommend this salon. I found it because I followed Barbara from her previous salon. Sadly, the past few times I have seen Barbara for a cut or bang trim I have been really disappointed and needed to seek help elsewhere to fix the job she did. Shocking because she was soo soo good in the past. This past time I went in for a bang trim and it was AWFUL...like a joke, I couldn't even believe she'd let me walk out with bangs like that. I contacted the owner, Amanda, to see if she might offer to help me. Welp, no she didn't. She said they were too short now and nothing could be done. So, I went to another salon and got a second opinion. They were able to make big improvements on my short bangs, so I'm glad I didn't take Amanda's advise and just give up. What really is poor in this circumstance is that Amanda should have had me come in to look at and fix my bangs. I have many stylist friends and it's pretty much salon etiquette to get an unhappy customer to come back in for a fix. In addition, my last visit I paid $70 for a gloss; which made very little difference to the health and shine of my hair. The stylist who colored me, Carli, even said the mixture was runnier/more watery than usual, so maybe that had something to do with it...idk. All I know is that I don't intend to return. read more

I got a beautiful rosegold pink partial balayage from Sam! She's super kind and open! Everyone has loved the result :) I did have to go back in to adjust from the first color job (normal fading and I wanted to darken the color at the roots)-- I was surprised though that I was charged in full for the roots in the second visit given we were adjusting the original work, but will clarify better next time! Love this salon! Thanks again read more

If you want beautiful hair (especially blonde) do your self a favor and book Blake Vulgamott. You won't be disappointed. The location is beautiful and everyone who works there is super lovely! 10 out of 10. read more

Amanda is a wizard. I've been coming to her to do creative color for a year and she always captures what I want. She listens carefully and has a beautiful artistic vision. She's also an absolute delight to spend time with and her space is gorgeous, which is important when you're spending two hours in the chair! read more

I have only been to power hair once in December of 2019 but wish I could go back all the time! Blake has also done my hair in home 2 additional times. Blake does flawless hair! I have never loved my hair more. He listens and makes you feel totally comfortable. He also makes great product recommendations! read more

I've passed by this place a few times and finally looked up the reviews. Booked an appointment to get my ratty, overgrown pixie into shape. Found some photos online of cute bobs and headed over. Carli was welcoming and eager to fix my messy wig. She looked at my hair and then the pics and did exactly what I asked. My boyfriend says it's the best cut I've ever gotten. Just a cut, no wash, was 85.00, plus tax 92.00. I will definitely be returning. read more

I've been going to Carli for a few years and was so excited that she moved to a salon only a few blocks from me!! The salon is very clean and cozy. I got a chance to meet Amanda and her awesome pup. My first time visiting I got my hair cut after over a year of growing it out and also colored. Carli is amazing and I fully trust her and we always seem to have the same vision for what my hair should look like! Everyone on bushwick should check them out and although I've only worked with Carli, I know everyone here does amazing hair. read more

I can't say enough positive things about Power Hair, specifically Amanda! After several women who I work with sang her praises, I decided to book an appointment. Amanda is professional, sweet, and most of all, insanely talented. She has such a great eye and puts a lot of care and attention into everything she does. You can tell that she genuinely loves her craft and and cares that her clients leave looking awesome and feeling good. I've gone to her for balayage, chopping all my hair off, then bangs. The salon is super cute and all the other staff I've met there are really nice as well. Definitely recommend visiting Power Hair! read more

A little late with this review but couldn't forget to thank Blake for doing such an amazing job on my hair!! For starters my hair was already a damaged mess after so many hair dyes and curl perm done wrong. I thought I had no hope on my hair anymore as it was breaking, weak and damaged from the perm. I decided I wanted to my original hair color and Blake BLESSED my hair with the toning and glazing! It no longer feels heavy and thick and feels like it came back to life! I could not be happier with the results. I was even able to get waves and they actually didn't drop like they usually did. Definitely recommend Blake and this place, he did and amazing job so thank you for that. I feel pretty again :)) read more

I was pretty happy with my cut and color. The space is pretty. Probably spent a little more than I would have liked. My main reason for writing a yelp review is to fellow fat people: they gave me a comically small robe. I'm about a size 22. Folks sizes 26+ would probably struggle to fit comfortably in seats. Power hair seems to care about being an inclusive space. I'm professional who works with fat people for a living, so if you're interested in considering your clients of size, I'm happy to speak with you! read more

Amanda has been my hair stylist for many years. I have followed her from Manhattan to BK. Now that may seem like no big deal, but I moved to CT about 5 years ago and I still travel to BK to get my hair done by her. She has transformed my hair many times over and I have loved the results every time. More recently she did a long bob for me and i am obsessed. Thank you Amanda for everything! read more

I've been going to Kat for color and Barb for cuts for over 5 years now. I followed them from their previous salon to Power Hair even though it was further away from where I live. (From Greenpoint to Bushwick for hair appointments - I wouldn't even go that far for a promising Tinder date.) Kat is such a talented colorist and Power Hair really suits her skills and personality. Such a wonderful experience every time I visit. People actually stop me in public to ask who colors my hair. I've probably referred 10 people to her by now! And Barb somehow always understands my weird language of hair cut requests; I'm constantly impressed with her ability to make me look way cooler than I actually am. Extra cherry on top: if you're super lucky you'll get to enjoy a warm puppy in your lap when the owner's doggy is there! This salon is a dream. read more

I've lived in NYC a decade but would always get my haircut back in my hometown because I never found a stylist in NY that I felt actually cared about my haircut. It always felt like I was just another person in their chair. After countless recommendations from friends after a horrible dye job, I went to Amanda for a correction. They'd all been going to her for years and I'm mad I didn't listen to them earlier. Not only is she a master at her craft but she's a pretty amazing person to hang out with for a few hours too. Consider yourself lucky to go to Power Hair! read more

First time coming here and had a lovely experience getting a cut from Carli. I came in because I wasn't happy with a haircut I got elsewhere and wanted something that felt lighter and framed my face better. Carli was amazing and listened to what I didn't like about it and what my hair routine is like and did a meticulous job to make sure I loved my new cut. Even curled my hair after, which saved me having to do my hair before going out on a Friday. Would definitely recommend this place! read more

Power Hair is definitely worth ALL the stars. I had a botched dye job back in March so I met with Kat to see what could be done. She took my hair from a terrible blonde to a perfect soft brown. A couple months later my hair needed an extreme refreshing so I went for a last minute appointment with Anna. She took my hair from passed shoulder length to a cute just above shoulder length cut. My hair feels so healthy and looks amazing as well. I can't imagine going anywhere else now for cuts and colors. Keep up the amazing work! read more

I love this salon! It's intimate and welcoming! I have been getting my color done by Kat for a few years and I just love her. She does such an amazing job. I receive compliments on my hair all the time! read more

Amanda is the only person I trust to cut my hair! She's a very talented stylist, the space is gorgeous, and it's a pleasure to visit her in Bushwick. 5 stars! read more

First time visiting Power Hair for a balayage appointment, but I've gotten color from Kat at her previous salon. She alway does an excellent job interpreting my ideas (even when I'm not 100% sure what I want) and has a great eye for color. Every visit she's always very friendly and professional. I know when I book her I'm in good hands. read more

I got my hair done yesterday by Blake, he achieved exactly what I ask for and I left so happy with my hair! Blake pays so much attention to detail and is a perfectionist, I would never trust anyone else to do my color. The salon has a very relaxed vibe and I felt super comfortable there! Would highly recommend! read more
