Don't come here if you don't want to waste $600 to have your hair be completely different as to what you asked for & the references showed, and then to be gaslit and talked to in a condescending tone by the stylist read more

My long journey of finding a hair salon that tried to understand their clients even if the client doesn't have a clear vision of what they want lol) came to an end about 5 years ago when I found The paintbox on IG. I contacted them and Jenny accommodated me for a consultation since then I haven't looked back. Everyone in the salon is super chill and have the best conversations super relatable and make sure your visit is whatever you want it to be. If you want to talk they'll socialize, want to relax they let you relax. Along came 2020, when things in the world got weirder and everything shut down. With everything going on they send out care packages to existing clients to help us still feel our best during quarantining. When they opened up while everyone was still a little nervous they took all the precautions to ensure everyone was safe and felt safe. They got a new beautiful space with plexiglass separating each station, upon entrance they'll take you're temperature, ask you to hand sanitize and wear a mask during your visit. They've always constantly had an clean space but they do the extra precautions to make their space sanitary. Everyone in this salon is an artist and will make you feel welcomed as soon as you walk in. And their products are great for Maintaining between visits. read more

I've been getting my hair cut and colored at the Paint Box for years and will continue to go there as long as there is hair on my head (I moved and joyfully take the ~2 hr trip to Brooklyn to make this happen). Camille cuts my hair and she does an amazing job of turning my "I don't know, a trim but like, open to ideas?" into a style that feels like the best most exciting possible version of me. Jenny colors my hair and I'd love to poke around her supply closet because I am convinced there are actual magical potions in there. I am a former natural blonde and she brings me back to my former glory and more. She takes the time to get it exactly right, and paints my hair in such a way that even though I'm terrible about coming back in a timely manner my roots grow out beautifully. I'm telling you, pure magic. Other reasons to go to the Paint Box? The whole crew is a delight and it's a blast to be part of the fun for a day. Also the new salon is ridiculously gorgeous. I would love to spend an hour just admiring the bathroom. The attention to detail in the space is the same attention they give your hair. I honestly don't know why you would go anywhere else, unless a dear close friend is a stylist elsewhere, and even still, it's worth taking the hit to that relationship. read more

I just recently visited the paintbox for the first time - I followed Kyle here after going to him for almost 5 years at his previous salon. There was no question for me about changing salons when I found out he had this new opportunity. He crafts absolutely adorable pixie cuts, which I had pre-Covid, then he did an amazing job of helping me keep it cute during the awkward grow out phase post-Covid. He also does a gorgeous platinum blond, and beautiful beautiful highlights! Long hair, short, any kind of color dimension, Go see Kyle! read more

The Paint Box - Hair Salons Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I cannot say enough good things about Kyle at The Paint Box. I actually met him at his last salon (which is a 5-min walk from my apartment), and have followed him to this one (a 30-min train ride away) because he is the ONLY person I trust with cuts and color. I recently have been experiencing a 'pandemic hair crisis,' in which my hair has been getting progressively shorter and blonder (a tough feat with Asian hair), and he makes it look fabulous every time. The cuts are amazing, but his skill with color is truly incredible. I feel amazing, and the compliments are awesome. Also, The Paint Box is just a f*cking cool place. The vibe is chill, and the music is super cool. I can't wait to go back. read more

Iv been going to the Paintbox for over three years now, the girls there are absolutely amazing. I go to Clarissa for my color and Camille for my cut. My hair has never been a better blonde and the grow out is always so nice. Couldn't recommend them more. Service is always 10/10 , they do so exactly what you ask, I would never go anywhere else. Make sure to get an appointment soon as they book up very quick for the holidays! read more

The Paint Box - Hair Salons Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I have been going to The Paint Box for over 7 years. I followed Jenny from her old salon in the city and have been going to her since. She is a master at what she does. I am very "low maintenance" (when it comes to my hair) and she always gives me color that looks natural and grows out in a beautiful way. I have gotten cuts from both Mayumi and Camille and they are also experts. They have always given me cuts that are easy to style (or not style at all). These gals are hands down the best at what they do! The salon is cute, welcoming, lots of plants and ultra clean!!!! Covid friendly and compliant all the way. Love you Paint Box read more

The Paint Box - Perfect color and cut - Hair Salons Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Like another reviewer, I followed my stylist Gabriela from another salon to this one bc yes, she's that good. I'm a natural brunette and I'm constantly asking for slightly different ways to be blonde. Gabriela totally keeps up with my random requests to do things differently. She's super skilled at color and she gets exactly what I want every single time. She's also just a lot of fun to hang and talk with - something that's very important when you're sitting in a chair for 4+ hours at a time! The salon itself is also so cute and everybody is very friendly. Lots of plants, fun music, and great vibes all around. No pretension at all. Love it here! read more

I get my cut and color done but Anna Rose and Bunny. There are an absolutely dream team. I literally never want to go anywhere else ever again. Always get exactly what I want and wouldn't want to spend 4 hours getting beautified with anyone else. See these gals. You won't regret it. read more

I've been in Brooklyn for almost 8 years, and have never visited a hair stylist more than once. Not that any of them were bad...I was just looking for that ONE. And then I found The Paint Box. I love everything about this salon. Everyone that works here is delightful and super talented. The space is thoughtfully decorated - stylish and cozy! Lots of plants. It has a warm comforting feeling, rather than that stark, sterile vibe that a lot of salons seem to gravitate towards. Camille is my go-to, and she never disappoints. I let a lot of time go between cuts (busy busy!), walk in looking like Cousin Itt, and leave feeling like a million bucks. I'm bummed I wasn't able to make it in before leaving Brooklyn for the winter. I'll be EXTRA Cousin Itt-y come March, and know Camille will save the day! read more

I used to get my hair done at a very expensive well known salon. I was seeing a "master" level colorist but wasn't happy with the results so I decided to take a leap of faith and try The Paint Box. I AM SO GLAD I DID. I've had several colorists in my lifetime and Camille is the best colorist i've ever gone to. She is thoughtful, very personable, detail oriented as well as warm, sweet, hilarious and just genuinely nice to talk to. I've been going to her for 3 years now and i'm always more than happy with my results. I've never gone to someone who is so consistent. She hits the mark every time with my request from icy blond, to pink, to natural and so on... I always leave happy. The whole salon is so nice, COVID compliant and the owner put so much heart into the new space. I've always had a wonderful experience here. I've even sent people to her because I get so many compliments on the color! Go to Camille! read more

I've been coming to Clarissa ever since she was an apprentice here over 3 years ago and I've never looked back. Together we've worked to create incredible, low maintenance blonde that works perfectly for me. I come to her with a vision/expectations and she guides me to what will work best. Her hand painted balayage technique turns out seamlessly blended every single time, and the tones she chooses always look great with my skin. She's also a gem of a human, and great at making conversation. Most recently I came to see her with a mess I'd made of my hair during the lockdown. I thought for sure nothing could fix it, yet per usual, she blew me away. And oddly (and thankfully), my hair is in far better health than before. AND...to make it even better the salon is super cute and inviting, everyone that works there is so friendly and fun (not even remotely pretentious) and the Kevin Murphy/Iles Formula product lines they carry are SO good. They smell heavenly and are great for your hair. Go see Clarissa ASAP! You absolutely won't regret it. read more

I love the paint box, and Kyle is the best! He really listens to what you want and is so easy to talk to! I feel so comfortable, and great when I leave. Kyle also doesn't push anything so your hair stays healthy through out the process(which is important since I'm trying to go lighter). I used to go to salons in Manhattan and feel so much better here and love my hair every time! Go see Kyle!! read more

I love the Paint Box! I was referred to them via my old stylist in SF, specifically to book with Bunny, and I am so happy I did! I love my cut! It may be my favorite cut yet. A beautiful and airy salon that felt safe and very Covid-19 compliant. Bunny is very experienced, very sweet, and knows her way with the straight razor. I felt very safe in her hands and trusted her vision. read more

Fantastic salon, always welcoming and professional. I can book on the website or over the phone.

If you're looking for a fab salon experience with someone who's knowledgeable about hair, passionate about his job, and SO much fun to talk to, you need to make an appointment with Kyle at the Paint Box ASAP! I've been seeing him for months and always walk out of the salon feeling like a whole new person!! Kyle is a great listener and very patient, but isn't afraid to offer suggestions or put his own spin on things, which I LOVE. The salon itself is gorgeous and spacious, and they take COVID precautions super seriously. Everyone who works there is super nice and cool, and I love the atmosphere they create. The prices are also fair for what you're getting, and they carry great products! However, the reason I keep coming back is definitely Kyle-- he's amazing, and I truly don't know what I'd do without him! Whether you're looking for a whole new style or just a trim, I guarantee you won't leave Kyle's chair disappointed :-) read more

I got my hair coloured by Anna and I'm so happy with how it turned out! It was a long process and she was super engaging and answered all my questions. I went in with some colour options from reference pictures and she took them and really gave me something that looks good on me. I was nervous since I had not had my hair done in a saloon in ages, but she put me at ease. Highly recommend! read more

The Paint Box - Hair colour - Hair Salons Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Ive gone through several hair transformations (pink, blonde, dark, bangs, no bangs, etc) with Clarissa (color) and Camille (cut) over the years and continue to leave impressed every time. I can't style my hair for anything but the color and cut always grow out in a super natural way and just evolves so I can go a good while between visits.  It's also just a really lovely environment to spend a few hours. Uber clean, thoughtful and COVID safety measures are met and exceeded. Really happy to see The Paint Box thriving - a local business well worth a visit if you're in the market for some badass hair and a nice afternoon supporting a woman owned local business! read more

Over the pandemic, I made the terrible mistake of box-dying my hair pink (which was totally awful). To make it worse, I then spent the next few months coloring over it with different shades of red in an attempt to cover it up. It was a disaster! So after being told by a couple of salons that color correction to obtain the copper/ginger color I always wanted wasn't possible, I was recommended to Gabriela and I'm so glad I went to her! She explained the process to me step by step and worked tirelessly for 5+ hours to lift the different shades of red/pink out of my hair and deposit the new color. The end result was EXACTLY what I had asked for! I couldn't be happier and will be going to Gabriela for my touch-ups from now on! As an added bonus, I have crazy curly hair and Gabriela gave me an awesome cut that I have gotten tons of compliments on! Overall a great experience at The Paint Box! read more

Hair painting with Clarissa and cut from Camille, both were absolutely lovely an made me feel very comfortable and at home, chatting when I wanted to chat and leaving me to read my book/ check my phone/zone out with my eyes closed when I wanted to... Clarissa was thorough in her consultation, asking me questions about what I wanted but also advising based on my complexion and base colour (suggesting something a little more golden rather than ashy) then meticulous in the painting. She and lifted the colour all over to almost exactly the same shade as the hair I had when I was 5 years old, she gave me my baby hair! And I LOVE it. Clarissa did the cut, and managed to keep the length and give it more shape while snipping the ratty bits out, giving everything a lightness and movement that had been missing (it was 4 months since I'd had a trim...) A great experience overall - a real neighbourhood gem, and I'll be back for sure. read more

Kyle did my hair at a previous salon, and I was happy to follow him to The Paint Box. I trust his sensibility for both cuts and color. Recently, we've been working on my ashy-blonde hair goal. I always look forward to my appointments with him because my hair looks and feels amazing afterward -- and I always enjoy our conversations. The salon is cute and has a chill vibe. They take covid precautions seriously, which I appreciate. Highly recommend them and of course, Kyle! read more

I was referred to The Paint Box by a close friend of mine, and I can honestly say I've never felt more taken care of. I've been going to Jenny (three times now) for a single process, and to Bunny (twice) for a cut. The salon is gorgeous, open, light, and airy. They're incredibly safe with glass dividers between chairs, sanitizer/disinfectant between clients, face masks, and temperature checks upon arrival. The space is warm and inviting, especially during these times. Jenny is down-to-earth with the best energy and light about her. She's a true artist, will listen to what you're looking for, and give her professional opinion in a way that truly shows she knows what she's talking about. I sincerely look forward to every appointment because I have 100% full trust in Jenny and her work, and have always left the salon incredibly happy and feeling fabulous. She's worth the investment 100% and then some. Bunny is also great, she's experienced, fun, and outgoing. She gave me the simple trim and cut I was looking for, but expertly framed my face in a way that made me feel refreshed and clean. I can't recommend The Paint Box enough. You'll have a wonderful experience with talented and friendly artists, and leave feeling better than when you arrived. read more

I have been going to Jenny for my hair color and Mayumi for cuts going on 10 years now! Jenny is a true artist who has mastered the craft of hair painting! I constantly receive compliments on my color! Even after I moved to jersey 5 years ago I still make the trip out to The paint box because there is legit no one else out there that can do what Jenny does! read more

I've been going to Kyle for 3 years and I was so happy when he moved to this salon! He's always done a fantastic job keeping me blonde, and recently just gave me a gorgeous copper color. Paint Box itself is really clean, tastefully decorated & has great lighting. I've also never experienced such comfortable hair washing stations. They make the experience for all of their clients amazing and I'll definitely keep returning to Kyle at The Paint Box! read more

I've been going to the Paint Box for YEARS. I loved them. However, I recently went in for a big hair transformation. I had so much faith in my colorist and I was beyond disappointed and hurt. I never expected to be gaslit by my hair salon. I came in with very clear pictures of what I wanted. I was informed it was going to take a couple sessions to achieve the color I wanted. I understood. I knew it was going to be pricey, so I saved up to get this done for myself. The first session was great, I knew it was a transition step. However, she kept saying that I may want to keep it in this phase and I was confused because it looked nothing like what I wanted, but I wasn't shaken up yet. I just kept saying that I still wanted the color from the inspiration photos. The big day came when I got to come back in for my second session. (I had to wait a month between each sessions). I was beyond excited, but the finished product was NOTHING like the picture. I was flabbergasted. Especially because she did exactly what I told her I didn't want and hated. It literally looked like she died the bottom half of my hair BLEACH blonde and the top half was my original color. It was horrific. I didn't have the guts to say how I felt then, but when I got home I called the salon to kindly share how I felt. I want it to be known that I never yelled or was mean. I shared that it really didn't look like what I wanted and I was really sad. My job is also as a performer on the stage and TV so my hair is literally part of my job. I'm mortified because she tried to tell me that it actually does look like my inspiration photo. I asked her if she could fix it and if we could compromise on the price because at this point I had already paid over $500 for this outcome. She said she would speak to her boss and get back to me. She said that after her and her boss looked over my inspiration photo and the outcome photos that they felt it looked the same and would only give me an $30 discount. I was beyond hurt and felt completely gaslit. I shouldn't have even needed to come in again, so I was appalled that they were even having me pay. I am the kindest client in every venue I step in to. Heres the thing, people make mistakes. I'm aware and completely okay with that. This is about the way it was handled. I would have been more than happy to go back to my colorist and get this fixed. This hurts so much because I feel I was taken advantage of and that my voice was not heard and ignored all because of money and ego. Funny, because these are also the reasons that our country is suffering from this pandemic so badly. Money and ego. I'm not one to "drag" someone, so if you want the name of the colorist please private message me. read more

If you're worried about where to get your hair colored, worry no further!! If you've been damaged in the past at another salon, come get some healing! I had wanted to go blonde for years but was afraid to damage my hair and didn't know who to trust. I received a recommendation to the Paint Box and after meeting Jenny and experiencing her magic I have been preaching the Paint Box good news for the last four years! Jenny truly cares about the health of your hair as well as making sure you meet your personal hair goals. I have curly hair and I've never experienced wilting curls! I constantly get compliments about how natural the hair painting looks and equally on how well it grows out in between appts. Jenny is not only a true hair artist but a beautiful and kind spirit. She radiates and attracts light which is a testimony to her entire team who are all individually fantastic artists as well as wonderful people. No matter who you book with, you're in amazing hands at The Paint Box. Oh and one last thing! The salon itself is a gorgeous, dreamy expression of Art Deco meets Vintage Glam... or at least that's how it's speaks to me, and I love it! read more

My hairstylist and colorist Gabi has moved here! It was my first time in the salon two days ago. I really like the Art Deco/ vintage vibes and all the beautiful plants! The receptionist was super nice and welcoming. And as always Gabi never disappoints. I have thick, long, wavy hair and Gabi always makes it look amazing. This time I went for a balyage, haircut and olaplex conditioning treatment . Gabi cuts my hair so it won't be so heavy and feel as thick. And Gabi took her time painting my hair (I have a lot of hair so this took a while). This time I was going for a more deep balyage instead of blonde. I love Gabi she's always so sweet and listens to what I want. My hair always looks amazing when I leave. The other stylists are awesome as well! I spent almost a full day at the salon and saw them work their magic on different clients hair. This salon is great! I'll be back in December! read more

I usually do a simple blunt cut but after speaking with Gabriela, we talked about options that wouldn't be too far from my normal cut but would give my hair a bit more dimension.

I would not recommend this.. Don't waste your money. Clarissa destroyed my hair. Went in twice now still have to go somewhere else to get it fixed read more

Love the Paint Box and specifically Gabriela! I was seeing her at another salon and when she told Me she was switching salons it was a no brainer to follow her and go to the Paint Box. She is a very talented hair stylist and always knows exactly the best approach for what I want for my hair. I always have a plan laid out for what is next for my hair and she always accomodates amongst life's events! As well as loving Gabriela, the Paint Box itself is a pure gem, extremely chic and you feel comfortable the moment you walk in! Love this place and my girl! Highly recommend. read more

Cannot say enough great things about my experience at The Paint Box and with my stylist Kyle, specifically!!

I am so happy I found my new favorite salon and stylist! read more

I cannot say enough amazing things about Jenny and her team. I have been seeing Mayumi for single process and highlights for going on 7 years now and I can't imagine going anywhere else. They are all true artists and take the time to curate what is best for each client as an individual. During the pandemic closures, they mailed me my personalized formula for my roots. You seriously cannot go wrong coming here. Everyone who leaves looks great! read more

I've been a client of Jenny's since 2012 and every single time I leave, I genuinely think, "this is the best hair color I've ever had." Her talent is just next level. I also believe that the same can be said about everyone who works there. I've observed it myself from sitting in the chair and watching them, but if you want to see for yourself, look no further than Instagram. It's like an inspiration board of sorts in real time, every single day. If you're in that salon with Jenny or anyone else, you're in good hands. On top of that, it's a fun and friendly place to be while true artists are at work on your hair. 10/10 would recommend going here. You'll be so happy you did!!! read more
