TL;DR Went for a basic single process / grey coverage and left with brassy hot roots. After having a couple bad experiences at my previous salon, I decided to try this location given the strong reviews. I needed a single process to cover my greys - I have medium brown hair, no highlights. Should be simple enough. Upon getting in the chair, the stylist mentioned she thought my greys looked resistant, I agreed because I know that my color usually has to sit for a while, but she didn't ask me any questions beyond that. Instead, the she spent most of the time suggesting I should get highlights (which is not unusual when discussing how to add more dimension), but this was after I just explained how I stopped getting highlights a few years back because I didn't like how much it damaged my hair. When it was time to process, she put me under heat, which I have never had done before in the past 6 years of getting this service. I thought it was odd at first, but not knowing anything about hair coloring, assumed it was necessary for the type of product they use at this salon. I was under heat for about 10 minutes which felt far too long as my hairline was starting to sting badly. As soon as we started drying, it seemed like my roots were much lighter than normal, but once fully dry the color looked accurate enough. I don't know if it was the lighting in the salon or what, but it wasn't until I got home that I noticed my roots were so hot and brassy! While I blame myself for not looking more closely at the time, I imagine a Level 6 Stylist would have easily noticed this, yet she didn't say anything about it all and acted like my hair color was matched perfectly. Very disappointing that she never asked about heat being necessary previously for my greys and just assumed to use it, knowing heat during a single process is the fastest way to getting hot roots. Giving 2 stars because the rest of the staff was nice and the blow out was good. Sadly I'm now on the hunt for another new salon. read more

I didnt have a good experience the first time in this place but I went here a second time after several years because well I was temporarily gonna lose all my hair and needed to cut my hair super short. It was pouring rain and this place was close so decided it for convenience. I called them mentioning I just want a simple cut ($75). They said they have availability. What I didnt know was they assigned me to the same stylish I had several years ago. Not sure why. I didntb ask for it. I came 8 min before my appointment time and they made me wait 25 minutes, I was not well. I told them my situation and this hair cut was only temporary. They charged me $136. I felt really low. My friends and family told me that while my hair style was good it did feel like they took advantage of my situation. I wont be coming back here ever again. read more

My mom and I visited Salon 718 during our trip to New York. The staff was welcoming and attentive, and my mom was really happy with how her hair turned out.

Martha transformed my hair! My hair was almost waist length, dark (with a lot of grey), and old grown out highlights. She gave me the exact color I wanted (ashy blonde with almost grey accents & money pieces in the front), and cut it to perfection! Highly recommend this salon and Martha! so fun to chat with her the whole time too. read more

I went to this location to do my hair and makeup for my Manhattan city hall wedding on the 15th. I had such a great experience with Marwa and Sachi doing my hair and updo, and Autumn made my vision for a glowy makeup look fit my features so well! It was the perfect amount of glam for a day wedding that transitioned to evening festivities. I left the salon on time, and both hair and makeup lasted the entire day without any adjustments or edits. I was a new customer for my bridal experience but will become a regular for my hair! #salon718cityhallbride read more

Salon 718 is the local salon that has a good local following and delivers a fab haircut and color. The stylists are always super friendly, great at conversation, and are exceptionally kind. I've had two cuts here, once with Satchi and another with Joe. Both were great listeners, quick, and expert at styling with my long, straight, heavy hair. The salon is relaxed and casual, and everyone treats you like the queen you deserve to be. The online portal recently underwent some changes, but it was easy to navigate the system, book an appointment, and pay. Note that late afternoon you may have to wait a little if the morning appointments had backlog, but it wasn't unreasonable and I didn't feel that my cut was rushed due to this. Prices are fair for the neighborhood and the skill. read more

Hate this place. Over $400+ for this crap! Went to another salon and they told me I was ripped off by Christine and their apprentice Danni. Save your time and cash at this dump. read more

Keturah was phenomenal. She was so detailed and did everything with care. I would highly recommend her if you're looking for a beautiful balayage + cut + any hair styling. Had a wonderful experience overall and will for sure be returning to Salon 718 (on Dekalb). Thank you to Christina as well! read more

I will preface this by saying Cynthia cut my hair fabulously!!! And I would love to recommend this salon to others is the billing didn't go so haywire after my haircut. I saw that a curly cut online was $140. After my haircut I was charged $100 and thought that was a bit low so I said "are you sure this is me?" and when they confirmed it was I tapped my card, added a $20 tip and went about my way happy. A month later I was looking through the statement of the card I had used to book my appointment online (different than what I paid with) and had a charge for $180. When I called they said they had charged the wrong person for the wrong haircut and voided my original $120 and charged the card on file the $140 PLUS a $15 long hair fee (which I was never made aware of) and assumed $20 tip without ANY communication to me. Legally I don't know how this all works but it feels pretty backwards that I'd have an additional $60 charged to a different card with no effort to make it known to me when they made a mistake at checkout. I want Cynthia to get paid for her great work but I want to notify people that the salon has poor communication and may charge your card on file without permission or notification. read more

wonderful experience Faith took great care of me! love how she took the time to explain things and was gentle with me hair. thank you Faith! read more

All of Michella's people are fabulous! What's to complain about..., nothing! Loved the service provided today... any one of the stylist are great , yet Cynthia's a bonafide star! read more

Gave me botched highlights, completely overpriced, and my stylist passed me around her assistants. I was forgotten about during my appointment and the whole thing lasted much longer than I expected. Had this happen about a year ago and haven't gone back since and have no plans to! Thankfully I've found an amazing stylist at a different salon but salon 718 was very disappointing to say the least read more

I've been coming to this location and getting my hair done with Christine for years. I've had long hair, short hair, highlights, blonde hair, purple hair, pink hair magenta hair ... I think you get the picture. I always leave here feeling and looking great with healthier hair than when I entered. These guys are professionals and love their work! I can't recommend Christine and Salon718 enough. FYI their covid precautions are spot on so check them out if you're in need of some pampering right now ! (Who isn't ? : ) read more

Got a haircut from Sachi and I am in awe! This is the best haircut I've ever gotten. Sachi listened to what I wanted, had an honest conversation with me about what would work for my hair and what wouldn't, and stayed consistent throughout / kept checking in. Curly cuts never work for me because my curl pattern is not consistent, but she did wonders even with a regular haircut. I cannot recommend her enough - she has done wonders for not just my hair but also my confidence! Thank you Sachi!! read more

I've been going to Salon718 for about 3 years. I mostly go for a single process, which covers my gray and my black roots. My hair has been colored for over 15 yrs. Color changes from Cinammon, Paprika, Pink tint sometimes. Nothing crazy. I always get compliments on the color. (Don't know the actual color names). The 1st stylist left after Triple Crown changed management (Fulton St location). She was great. No issues. Name changed from Triple Crown to Salon718. I met Brandon, little skeptical at first b/c the color is a big thing for me and it was me starting over again w/someone new. He got it right on the first try and I knew this would work. I don't have a perm and he takes care of my hair well and alway gives good advice. I sometimes get the straight blow dry, but I basically go for the color every 7 weeks and I take care of it in between. I am very satisfied. I feel he cares about my hair and will suggest changes he feels are needed to give me the best care for my hair. So far I haven't experienced any issues that made me want to change. He's also a pleasure to chat with. I go to the DeKalb Avenue location for convenience. The vibe is also kool. read more

Fantastic cut & color from Nicole! First time here and Nicole took plenty of time and care to understand what I wanted. She guided me into choices that would work for my hair (which is very thin and straight) and then taught me how to style it (two different ways!) to achieve the looks in the inspiration photos I brought with me. She did an amazing job with the color as well, giving me all the depth and brightness I was hoping for from the highlights. Fantastic experience all around! read more

I get the best hair advice and haircuts from Christine! Her skills and awesome personality are off the charts. I look forward to seeing her each time. read more

Brandon is an excellent stylist. He styled my hair exactly the way I had asked, gave me an incredible shampoo, and was very kind and personable. I would definitely go back to him. read more

Christine was absolutely fantastic... I rarely know exactly what I want in a haircut. She sat down with me and we had a real discussion to figure out the best style and color, she offered great advice based on my needs, then she executed the cut and color perfectly. Never once did I feel rushed or like an inconvenience. I often feel awkward with hairdressers and never quite at ease but Christine was so kind and friendly, easy to talk to, listened to my concerns, gave me all of her attention, and just all around made me feel good. read more

Sachi. The name says it all... Always a pleasure, always professional, always a great hair day... read more

Great staff and didn't feel rushed. Have been here three times and will keep coming back

I'm one of those people who NEVER takes the time to go and get their hair done (sometimes I let highlights fade out for years and often go more than a year without a trim) but thanks to Salon 718 I'm going to try to be better about it! I did a consultation earlier in the week with Maggie who made the process so smooth and helped me figure out what cut, style, and color I would need for a low-maintenance hairstyle. I came back today and got my Balayage Highlights and gloss add on with with Sachi and my haircut was with Maggie! I felt great throughout the entire process and my hair feels AMAZING. Staff were very friendly and the salon was very clean. I can't wait to go back! read more

I just left Salon 718 and had to write a review right away. I was looking for a moderate price point as I'm really trying to save money but needed a trim and shape up. I saw positive reviews for this salon so decided to give it a try. I'll start by saying ALL of the employees here were so pleasant. I was greeted, given a sterile fresh robe and waited about 5 minutes for my stylist. Christine was amazing. She really listened, made recommendations with reasoning, and definitely knew what she was doing. I have fine, curly hair and no one has ever cut it curly (I've been to very high end salons), she did and it came out fantastic. Great shape and the curls look amazing. Highly recommend this salon!! Thank you! read more

I came here for a birthday curly hair with Cynthia because she was highly recommended by family members. It is in a busy area so I recommend taking public transportation to this location. The staff was very nice and accommodating. They took my coat and put it in the coat closet. Cynthia was out of this world. She has such expertise in curly hair. My hair looked like absolute crap when I got there and walked out looking like a million bucks. She asked exactly what I was looking for and cut my hair according to my crazy curls. She knows exactly what to do to make sure your hair looks incredible and healthy. Even the lady before me looked incredible when she left the chair and I knew i was in good hands. The curly cut with Cynthia is about $125 but its so worth it if you have curly hair and want to look healthy with your curls. Curly hair gets so abused and she knows how revive it back to life! Thank you Cynthia! read more

Was treated to a complimentary cut and was looking forward to returning. Pros: - Great location- a block away from Dekalb Station. - Enjoyed my soothing and relaxing hair wash and massage. - Was very happy with the haircut and blow-dry Christine gave me. The length was exactly what I wanted. Christine is also very friendly and easy to talk to. She gave me many good tips on how to achieve high volume for my thin hair type. Cons: - Only downside to my 2nd experience at Salon 718 was that Christine worked on 2 other people at the same time. I understand my service was complimentary, but no customer likes being triple booked...let alone double booked for any service. I had a 6pm appt, and my haircut finally started at 6:45. read more

Cynthia cut my hair. My hair is very dry and has a tight curl pattern often resulting in an afro if I dare wear it out. So instead, I usually pin it up on a daily basis and have a love/hate relationship with my hair. Cynthia was very knowledgeable about curly hair and used really good products on my hair during the wash and shampoo process. She was friendly and provided information about ways to improve my daily hair care regimen. It's been a year and two months since my hair was last cut but I was glad to see that I didn't have a lot of split ends and very little breakage. She was not scissor happy and only took off what was needed. She recommended products and daily regimen tips which will improve the health of my hair. I am certainly satisfied with my experience and would be willing to return for hair cuts maybe 3 - 4 times a year. Once I have applied her suggestions and see a difference in my hair then I would be willing to go back to consider adding highlights. read more

Awesome experience! Such a great attention to details and the results turned out amazing!! Can't wait to come back

I was in Brooklyn for a wedding, and I wanted a blowout. I have, shall we say, difficult, frizzy hair that does what it wants. lol. Mercedes did an amazing job on my hair! My mess of a head was transformed into a shiny, bouncy beautiful head of hair worthy of wedding photos. She is also very sweet and friendly, and asked me ahead of time what I wanted. BTW, the style stood up to the heat and humidity! Highly recommend. read more

Nicole was a DREAM! I came for a blow dry and updo and Nicole, having never been to the salon before, and Nicole was extremely warm and helpful when we were discussing my hair goals. I showed her some inspo pictures and she was honest and direct about how the style would work with my hair and we worked together to lock in on a different style that would be a much better fit for my hair type and for the event I was heading to. I am 110% satisfied with my experience and will be back! read more
