Alex did such an amazing job bringing my flat brown hair back to life. So happy with the cut + color. Highly highly recommend!

I absolutely LOVE my hair. Alex is so talented! I shared inspo for the look I was going for and the results turned out even better than the photo. I've been getting my hair colored blonde for over 20 years at this point and moved around to a lot of different stylists - I can honestly say the results from my last appointment are my favorite!! Not to mention Alex is a ton of fun to chat and hangout with during the appointment. Highly recommend, truly a 10/10 experience!! read more

I can't even believe I found Alex - through yelp - thanks to all of the other amazing reviews on here. He does everything himself from start to finish - a thorough wash, hair cut and styling - all included in the price that he provides you up front before the appointment (so there are no surprises at the last minute that it will be double what you expected because your hair is a little bit thicken or longer - which is always so stressful in nyc) He is super accommodating and great with communication leading up to the apt and during the apt. He listens to what you want and then takes what you're hoping for to the next level. This was the best hair cut I have ever gotten - he did an incredible job and you could tell that he truly cared and was passionate about his work and his clients' happiness and satisfaction. I highly recommend and plan on only using him going forward!! read more

Wow!! Really amazing hair stylist can't wait to go back.. highly experienced super talented. Thank you Alex!! The studio is crazy cool, looking every bit like an exclusive artist loft. I'm shifting all my beauty needs to this neighborhood so I can keep things local based around this stylist. Highly recommend if you want to grow your hair out of if you damaged your hair seeing other stylists (looking at you over-processed, poorly ventilated Chinese and Spanish salons in flushing and Astoria!) I will write another review at the 5th visit to comment on consistency... I feel great though! First time going to salon and feeling like it could be a permanent thing. Love it read more

Sharp Studio - Me in the chair - Hair Salons Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

This is my second time going to Alex and the second time I've left getting exactly what I wanted. In the summer, he brought me to the most beautiful bright blonde with foil highlights and today he toned it down to the perfect ash brown for winter and gave me the exact shag cut I wanted. I don't want to let anyone else do my hair from now on! Alex is such an expert in color, highlights and balayage and gives honest, professional advice on style and correct hair tones for hair type and person. I've never been to a hair stylist and left feeling as satisfied as I have with Alex. The studio is fantastic, well designed and clean and the whole experience feels luxe. Highly recommend!!! read more

Alex was very accommodating and gave his honest opinions about my hair and did a beautiful highlight, cut, and blowout for a reasonable price. He was personable and chatty during the services but also let me read my book in peace. And he has a great playlist of women singers in the vein of Mitski. Online booking and location were both convenient. read more

Alex is a god-send. After 5 years of not stepping into a salon, Alex transformed my hair. I could not be happier. He changed the color base, added some highlights, and balayage as well. All including a blow out came to less than I expected. The results are far better than what I experienced in the past at 2 very high end Upper East Side salons. Alex is an artist--- not unlike Vermeer. He understands shading/lighting techniques like a master. Still pinching myself--- but then I look in the mirror and see that it wasn't a dream. He made my hair GORGEOUS! Highly recommend!!! A+++++++++++ read more

I've now been to Alex twice. I have been getting my hair balayaged/ highlighted for 10 years and it has never looked this good!!! He is so talented and it seems so effortless for him. Knew exactly what I wanted after a short convo. Thank you Alex!!! read more

Alex did a gorgeous job with my woebegone hair today. Took fried dried brassy tangles and spun them into silky multidimensional highlighted layers. Total wizardry. And the salon space is delightfully designed with charming quirky touches everywhere. Fabulous all around! read more

Prepare to be amazed! I cannot speak highly enough about Alex, who is a true wizard and works magic with my hair. From the moment you step into the salon, you're enveloped in a sense of artistry and professionalism. Every cut and color is tailored to perfection. And trust me every time it's perfect. If you want a hairstyle that is both stunning and uniquely you, Alex is the unequivocal choice. Over the years we became friends too and I am always looking forward to see Alex for a friendly conversation. read more

Very nice and clean hair salon! Alex is very professional and gave his input on what would look best for my skin tone. I ended up with a nice rich brown color for the fall and it was exactly what I was looking for. I will be back! read more

Sharp Studio - Perfect hair! - Hair Salons Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

He is a magician! I'm definitely a repeat customer now. I came in for a platinum blonde correction and he spent lot of time answering my questions, going over the different options and how they would affect my hair in the long term. I ended up just saying do what you think is best, I trust you and my hair looks AMAZING. He was also the fastest person I've ever seen do foils and them end up perfect. Very reasonably priced and done in half the time it takes others. Also a lovely human being to chat with. Highly recommend!! read more

Alex is an artist. His deep knowledge about hair care leaves everyone looking their best. He can reverse any hair disaster, highlight to the perfect degree, and gives such a good haircut that my cousins travel from Short Hills, NJ just to go to him. His space is hip and relaxing, his prices are very fair, and he is genuinely kind. read more

Literally the best haircut I've ever gotten and got an amazing price. He also gave me a bunch of tips on hair care that were super helpful

I never leave reviews but after a lengthy search I'm so happy I tried this salon. Great cut, great blow out and Alex's chill vibe was a bonus. Highly recommend. read more

Apologies for the bathroom stall selfie but I was so excited about my cut I couldn't help myself. Alex did an amazing job, I've found my forever stylist. I decided to check out Sharp after reading reviews and my expectations were exceeded. Alex is so fun and easy to talk to also which made the appointment even more enjoyable. Definitely book here for 11/10 experience. read more

Sharp Studio - Haircut by Alex - Hair Salons Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Look no further, Alex is the person your hair needs. I happened to come across this lovely hair salon after a terrible misfortune at another hairdresser in the area who completely butchered my hair: instead of having my usual brown color, my hair was suddenly dark black, think blue black, and nothing -and I mean, nothing would wash it off. I tried everything I found online, and visited a few other places in Greenpoint, and they all wanted to charge me over $250 to bring back my natural brown color. Alex was the only person to fix this hot mess in under an hour and under less than $100 (including blowout). When I saw my natural color, I almost cried, and that was the moment I realized that this person is a miracle worker. After three years in Greenpoint I had finally found a stylist who listened, empathized, and most importantly did not want to rip you off. It's been a year now and since then we've decided on highlights, trims, and different haircuts, and every single time I leave the salon feeling like my best self. I was lucky to have great hair stylists in other countries I've lived, but I have never met a person who loves hair and people more than Alex, and that's a rarity in this city. I will forever be grateful because the terrible hair color I had in the past, ruined my mood for weeks and little did he know, Alex was able to lift up not just my color but my attitude towards life. For those seeking a style change sprinkled with a boost of positivity and good energy, you will be glad to meet Alex. Many things are negotiable in this city, good hair should not be one of them! read more

Have been struggling to find a salon that wasn't over booked, but was still knowledgeable and talented. Alex is both. He goes through absolutely everything with you so make sure you know what you're asking for, and to guide you in your request to not make you look dull or washed out. I found my salon and am so excited about it. Salon is in an artsy industrial like building where you feel comfortable and not overwhelmed by a handful of different colorists or stylists moving you around and dealing with different clients. Hair feels healthy and I am happy! read more

This was the best my hair has ever looked since living in NYC. And I have gone to quite a few salons. My hair is not in the best of shape and I really appreciated Alex's honesty rather than giving me my vision and destroying my hair for profit. To me someone who cares more about your hair than money is a rarity. Secondly, I asked to keep my hair as long as possible and that actually happened. I have yet to go to a hairdresser who doesn't get scissor happy and I end up with short hair. Seriously. The studio itself is lovely and Alex made me feel comfortable off the get. My partner came with me and he loved it. He himself was like you have finally found your hairdresser 7 years later! I have. Highly recommend Alex, his attention to detail and eye are impeccable. Not to mention, he is the master of blow outs. read more

Alex is as good at what he does as he is thoughtful. I came in for balayage and a cut that left my hair long but bouncier - he accomplished both better than I even thought possible. I'm SO happy with both my cut and color. He talked me through each individual process after I shared my fears due to past hair nightmares. My hair looks incredible!!! read more

I had gone to the same stylist on the Upper East Side for about 6 years, but I recently moved to Greenpoint and was looking for a local stylist and found Alex. Alex is truly an artisan. He adjusted my balayage to complement my skin tone, suggesting that going warmer would be better than cooler (a battle I never won with my old stylist!). He also cut my hair to truly flatter my face shape with out cutting off a ton of hair. The salon is lovely and Alex is a master of his craft. The additional added bonus for me was that I was in and out in less time than my old salon with a better result. I will absolutely return! read more

if I could give 0 starts I would he just screamed at me after being an hour late for an appointment !!! do not go here !!

I'll start saying that this was an absolutely incredible haircut and color! I feel reborn. With the pandemic it had been about a year and a half since I had had my hair done. My previous stylist had returned back to the UK with visa issues. I was taking a long time to decide where to go and finally found Alex. A friend of mine had gotten her hair done with him and I thought it looked great so I tried my luck too. I came in with a bit of a vision but Alex was very helpful in guiding me in a direction that was more fitting for my natural hair color and skin tone. The result blew me away. It worked much so much better for me. I've already received a ton of compliments on my hair since I had it done yesterday. I recommend coming to Alex for both a great cut and color and a calm atmosphere to have those done in. read more

the worst person I have ever met !!! so rude was an hour late to my appointment then was extremely rude to me

I showed Alex a couple pictures of a short hairstyle I was going for, and he weighed in and actually advised me to go not as short as I wanted to because of the nature of my thick, frizzy, wavy/curly hair. He skillfully layered my hair and chopped off about 6-7inches. I was so impressed that he really knew how to handle my hair. And then he used the blow dryer and styled my hair beautifully. I will definitely be coming back! read more

Alex was really great! He understood immediately what I wanted and I was very pleased with the result. Great conversation too! I'll definitely be back :-) read more

Alex is a gem! I came in for a color correction and he listened to what I was looking for, but also offered direction as an experienced stylist. His prices are reasonable and his timing is prompt. The salon is a lovely place to spend some time in. Will definitely be back! read more

I've been looking for a new stylist for over a year because my longtime stylist moved back to Japan to be closer to her family. My search is finally over. Alex is wonderful and his studio is stylish, eclectic, and super cozy. He listens to what I want and gives me advice when I ask for it. I've been to him twice now and I've been thrilled both times. His prices are reasonable too. Go see him, you won't be sorry. read more

ABSOLUTELY amazing. I came in with a butchered head of hair (no really, I had been cutting it myself for over a year to even out a very horrible side-cut grow-out) and looking for it to somehow be made more manageable. It had been so. long. since my hair had been treated right (because I'm living that non-profit life, and let's be honest, I don't have a ton to drop on salon services) but it was *time*...and I'm so glad I went. I got so much more than I asked for (which was a cut and single process color), I left with an amazing, soft, shiny mane! I don't even know how Alex did it, as he kept the length of my hair but just cured it of it's crispy, uneven drama without making me feel bad for letting it get into such a state. I seriously wish I had taken a "before and after" picture to share. Alex is not only talented, friendly, and hospitable, but also built out this beautiful intimate studio himself from head to toe -- you can tell he is passionate and loves what he does. Could not be happier with the entire experience -- I will definitely be returning in the future, and also will definitely be recommending to friends!!! read more

This place is one of the coolest. So cozy and comfortable. Alex has outdone himself with the space and it just keeps getting better. Make an appointment today! Pet friendly! read more

This place is my new go-to. Alex is, by far, the best hair stylist I've been to in years. It's a breath of fresh air to see someone that actually understands hair and what looks good on each individual person. It isn't very often that you get to spend one-on-one time with the owner and stylist. I will be back again and again and again. Overall, best place I've been to in Brooklyn. read more

So happy I found this hair salon. Alex is amazing and I couldn't of asked for a better hair cut! I Highly recommend!! He works wonders!! I will definitely be going back :) read more

Alex did an amazing job with my hair. I went from one length ( so I could put it in a braid for ease) that took forever to style down - to a ready to go layered look! He promised me that it would look longer after he cut it - and it did ! His blowout was fantastic - the perfect wave without having to use tools. read more

Sharp Studio - Hair Salons Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Alex did a fabulous job on completely revamping my DIY, undercut, "I can do this sh*t myself" haircut - and didn't even make me feel bad about how atrocious I know it must have looked when I got there. He is extremely personable as well, a very warm and fun host. Alex is truly a professional and focused on listening to me and on giving my haircut the right length and shape given everything I expressed. Fabulous job! I highly recommend. read more

Sharp Studio - My long layers from Alex - Hair Salons Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

This is such a lovely experience. One on one in a beautiful space. The prices are also very reasonable especially for the area. Have been a few times and will definitely be back again. read more

Alex was wonderful. He really listened to me and gave me the trim I wanted. Left with my hair feeling fresh and soft. The studio was very relaxing and designed very well. read more

I had gone to Sharp Studio for a haircut and color correction in the past and each time I was so happy with the result. This time I decided to go to Alex for both a cut and color. I am so happy I did! Alex suggested I do foils instead of balayage. The result was the sun-kissed look that I have always been seeking to achieve. He also executed my haircut perfectly, without cutting too much of the length off. After just 2 hours of great conversation, my hair looked and felt better than ever before! The prices are also really reasonable. Book with Alex, you wont be sorry! read more

Alex colored my hair with hand painted balayage highlights back in early May. I'm a natural dirty blonde and usually have an out of town friend color my hair ombré using the tease forward method, but couldn't coordinate our schedules this time. I was very nervous to try someone new, as the same man has been doing my color for years! I am super low maintenance and can't have a look that requires constant touch-ups. Alex did an amazing job! It's now August and my hair still looks perfect! The highlights are holding up beautifully and blending perfectly with my natural color. Not only is he extremely talented but his studio is super cool and very easy to access, especially from my apt in Williamsburg. And his prices are some of the most reasonable in town! I highly recommend him and will absolutely be returning! :) read more

Alex's haircuts are always amazing. I always leave his studio feeling like a million bucks because the haircuts are excellent to start with and then his blowouts are out of this world. (Also, his haircuts still look great months after he's done them, which isn't something I've ever experienced with other stylists, even some very famous ones.) On top of that, he's a super fun, interesting person to talk to for 1.5 hours (I'm an introvert, so that's saying something). I always have a great time with him! I can't really say enough good things about Alex and his studio, I would recommend him to anyone. read more

Alex got my style instantly, his salon is very quite and makes you feel like home, plus he has the best stories to tell! :P
