    First of all BIG thank you to Erik. I was in desperate search for a barber to cut my hair. After doing some research calling to different shops, I stumbled across this gem. From my first call the day before to my call that I was chasing trains to get to the shop, I was met with nothing but professional and respectful tones. It seems rare to find lately but clearly it still exists. Nonetheless I explained my dilemma of needing a cut to blend my hair to hide a thinning area as a result to stress. Erik assured me with confidence it could be done and he was the right barber who could cut my hair and keep the style feminine. The next day when I met Erik he greeted me with a smile and the unisex space also greeted me with a sense of community warmth and comfort. That seems to be fading as times change but this gem is definitely keeping that energy alive. I showed him a picture of a style I hoped would blend and hide the area until it grew back. Not only did he cut me to the style it fit my face perfectly. Kiki a stylist also offered her support as the cheerleader for support. What more could a woman ask for when chopping her hair back down because of stress. Community support to someone they never met. Caring for strangers is not a dying characteristic. Im definitely hanging in the short hair zone for awhile as long as Erik continues to cut hair. Thanks Erik and Kiki for the support, comfort and smiles. New customer for sure.

    Amazing! Horrible experience but amazing result

    I will start this off by saying that I am VERY happy with how my hair turned out. But of course this is about everything I was dissatisfied with. -two weeks in advance my stylist confirmed an appointment time 1 hour before the salon opens. The day before I confirmed but the day of she was 34 min late. -when she finished my hair she told me it was cash only, despite the physical door to the salon saying they take every major credit card (visa, MasterCard, etc). When I told her that yelp and the door said credit cards were accepted she said it was the owners credit card machine that she was not allowed to use??? Not sure why in 2 weeks of contact that wouldn't have been relayed to me. I don't think I would return. I normally never get my hair done, save for a trim every couple months, and I wanted to treat myself. This ended up being the biggest hassle. That being said, the end result is phenomenal but the insanity I had to go through was not. Perhaps the door signage should be amended to, "credit cards accepted at the owners discretion". Bizarre.

    Natural hair blow out and curl by Kiki
    Nicole C.

    Kiki. Kiki. Kiki. Kiki. If your hair is a mess and you need a serious blow out, press, curl, whatever, ask for Kiki. I stumbled into The Experience when I was in pinch and needed my hair done one evening. Kiki was done for the day and on her way out, but lucky for me, she stayed and helped me out. I have super long, multi textured, curly, knotty, unruly hair and she gave me the best blow out and flat iron I have had in years. She saved the day. Everything about her service was great. One con, the salon says they charge a $5 fee to pay by credit cards which is some bunk. Bring cash to avoid that.

    Walking stress, come out a diva

    Professional, quality over quantity, respectful environment that any women would die for at a beauty parlor. Getting my hair done at The Experience by KiKi, the owner was a perfect. I was treated with the upmost care, and received prompt service. THE EXPERIENCE IS A GREAT EXPERIENCE!! Make an appointment and treat yourself to the BEST ! Btw- The atmosphere is 100% relaxed if I could here everyday, I would

    Styled by Fritz!
    Fleurene M.

    I came into this unisex salon for a tapered cut. I had a fro and was fortunate to met Fritz! Prior to my visit I hadn't been in a salon in about 5 years since my big chop to go natural. Fritz is amazing. I left on a Friday with a tapered cut and three days later went back to cut it all off. Fritz has overall been very patient with me as I describe specifically what it is I want. On my first visit my hair was washed, conditioned and treated with love. Post my first visit, I've gone back several times. From July to now... What I love most is Fritz does not rush and makes sure you get your money worth.

    Sign outside. The interior isn't fancy, but I go cares?

    This is the hair salon I go to for touch ups to my fade. I'm a Black woman who rocks my relaxed hair with a shaved side. I see Hameen for touch ups to the side. I can't vouch for the other stylists (I see someone else for relaxers), but Hameen is a barber who works with skill on all ethnicities and hair types. Easy to get to in BK.

    I know Fritz markets to "gentlemen of leisure", but I'm here to tell you that he is also the ladies barber. I've been looking for a someone for about a year that had the skills to give me some fun designs. While a couple people had great technical skill, they left me looking like a 14 year old rapper. I'm not 14. I'm not a rapper. God bless you Fritz for giving me some pretty (and still edgy) hair with your free hand creative clipper wielding self

    KiKi turned my life around with my fabulous cut & color: made me into a new person. Happy I found a new stylist!

    I've been a happy client for a few years and I've always been satisfied with the level of service and my hairstyle. Kiki is extremely accommodating and has work miracles on my hair. The salon is very clean and they have implemented all of the COVID-19 measures to keep their customers safe. GO CHECK THEM OUT!

    I had the worst "experience" at the experience the beautician name Ruthie did not do what I asked for . I went with a full head of healthy hair and left looking like shit! I texted her to voice my dissatisfaction and she was very unprofessional and did not respond. You as a BEAUTICIAN are supposed to care about the client and his or hers hair which she did not. The pics are what I wanted ...what I received and what I had to pay someone else to do

    My first cut with ERIK!! Love it.
    Sharii B.

    ERIK is the BEST!!! I have been searching high and low throughout Brooklyn for a barber who could do a soft feminine ceasar. I came across Erik's Instagram page and knew right away he was who I wanted to do my cut. I spoke with Erik about 3x before my initial cut and he answered all questions and made me feel comfortable regarding what I wanted. while cutting my hair He talked me through explaining techniques and after care, which I'm sure most barbers don't do. I highly suggest making an appointment prior (as he told me to, I just didn't listen lol).. Erik has weekly regulars and was booked until the last hour. BUT he squeezed me in. Definitely found my Barber. OH and my cut has me feeling like a new ME. Thank you ERIK.

    My little girl was having her 4th grade prom and we wanted to try something new; I wanted to have her hair blown out and pressed. We booked an appt for this salon and scheduled it with Kiki. Kiki was amazing!!! She was so patient and took her time with my little one, giving me tips along the way on how to manage my daughters hair. The Prices was reasonable and we were very satisfied with end result. I will be giving her a call sometime this week for myself lol
