    Made an appt for 10:30 but they seated me as soon as I arrived. Immediately multiple people came to ask what I would like to do with my hair and consulted pricing after I showed them a picture of what I wanted. I like the transparency they have with their customers that they will try their hardest to get as close as possible the color you want but it won't be exact. I had Arven and Julie working on my hair making sure my hair was processing well with the bleach and that there was minimal banding from my previously bleached hair. I liked how attentive both of them were in making sure my hair came out flawlessly. Arven also did the wash, dry, blow, & styling and I would definitely recommend him if you want your hair styled as well! Big thank you to Jason for also making sure I was satisfied with the color and overall service. I also appreciated that they give a little hand out for people regarding after care. They definitely have a very good team and would trust any of them with my hair!

    Love this salon. Been here a few times for balayage and haircut. Was happy with the results each time. They achieved my dreams of a warm blonde balayage! The staff is so friendly and attentive. Will be coming back again.

    This is my second time going to Xcellent Hair Bar. They do an amazing job with letting you know the price up front, do exactly what you ask for, and tailor your hairstyle / color to your preference. I fully trust them to make my hair dreams come true every time :) and will recommend to all my friends!

    Love this place. I got recommended to xcellent hair bar after my friend went to the one in Queens but I didn't want to travel that far so I stuck to the one in Brooklyn. Before starting they were able to get a good gist of what I wanted to do with my hair as well as the price for it and they got started soon after. I arrived around 11am and left around 3pm. They did an amazing job with my hair and even offered me coffee or a cup of water during. I felt like they really did take care and attention to my hair compared to the past salon I've been to. It was not packed whatsoever and I love the look of the salon. My total was $310 after discounts for a balayage.

    Here to update my review once again because i don't understand how they get some low ratings... They have proven to me each and every time that they are super skilled in their work! My hair itself is damaged from doing months of box dye in the past. But i don't want to get rid of my blonde! Jason with the help of Julie suggested that i add some extensions, i believe they were called hand tied extensions, 100% human hair i must add. Not only did it make my hair appear brighter, more refreshed and thicker but my confidence went up double as well hahaha! Thank you Xcellent, you always have me feeling excellent and extraordinary.

    Hair wash was great. But the haircut, which is the most important part, did not meet expectations. My go-to guy left the company so I took a gamble and went with a random hairstylist. That was the worst decision I ever made. I need long hair for my wedding hairstyle so I only asked to cut one inch but with long layers. I expected to still have a lot of hair. The hairstylist knew I only wanted one inch and even pointed at my hair to make sure the spot was right. But he cut off at least three inches from the longest strands. I should've known he didn't have the skills when he dropped the comb twice. Then he spent forever only cutting one side of my hair. He kept cutting and cutting but I couldn't see the back so I thought he was working on the layers while preserving the length. He took forever cutting the hair too. He also took forever trying to style my hair, which I didn't ask for. And it didn't look good in the end anyway. I only realized my hair was so short when he pushed all the hair to the front. I was upset and complained and he denied it saying that my hair wasn't that long to begin with... I can't believe he tried to gaslight me and didn't own up to his mistake. Refer to the pictures to see that my hair was past my boob originally but now it doesn't even touch it. He cut at least three inches. The picture of me with long hair is from this month when holland ridge farms opened their tulip farm (proof that the picture is recent). The boss made me pay for the haircut that I did not ask for. I'm not sure why the haircut was $48 when i usually pay around $30. But even though he got his money he lost two customers (me and my husband). My husband went at least three times a year to get his haircut. The boss said sorry but sorry is not enough.

    Service here is truly impeccable! Came for a blowout and styling and it may very much be the salon id frequent moving forward! I reached out through Instagram to inquire about their services and prices first before making appointments. We arrived for our 10:30 appt and was out by 12:30. When I go to hair salons, the hair washes are very impt to me as I feel they are very telling of the service you will be receiving. The person helping me was super nice- think he may be the owner or manager- the quick min head massage felt great and I could've used a few extra minutes of it ha. On to the styling, he asked what I was looking for and so I showed him the curls I wanted to achieve and he did just that. From beginning to end, it took about 40 or so minutes. He was quick but gentle! My niece who also came dropped her towel on the way to the chair and ended up wetting her jacket and shirt while waiitng for her turn- the manager blow dried it for her! Anyway, overall everyone was satisfied with their blowouts and with such great customer service we will sure be back!

    My new favorite hair salon! I'm a Brooklyn gal so I was looking for somewhere closer to home and realized that Xcellent had changed their Brooklyn location over to this Park Slope location (I had previously came to do a balayage and was happy with my last visit as well). Jason (the owner) immediately greeted me and made me feel so welcomed! I told him I wanted to get the lightest ash brown possible without damaging my hair. He was honest in that my roots may be slightly more yellow/red since I would not be bleaching it but he never once pushed me to do a balayage/bleach my hair even though it would profit him. So I knew I could trust him, and I'm glad I did! Did a trim and came out extremely content with my hair condition and color. I'll be back!

    Getting a much needed haircut after almost 2 years!

    It's been 2 years since I've had a professional haircut, and me still being very COVID conscience for my 10 month old, has made my decision really hard to find a place I felt safe visiting, as well as getting a great service. I reached out to Xcellent Hair Bar, sharing my concerns, and Jason wrote me back telling me to come be the last appointment of the night at 7PM. First off, this place is immaculately clean, with wonderful bright lighting and even an Instagram station that pictures are taken of all past customers. The staff was cleaning up for the night when I asked for my cut, wash, and blowout. To make things even more interesting, I told my stylist that he could do whatever he wanted to my hair, as long as I didn't get any layers. I felt beyond comfortable and greeted warmly by the staff, and was finally able to enjoy and relax a long awaited haircut. I loved how methodical my stylist was, and gave me such personal care! My hair is silky soft and my straightened blow out has given me that little bit of glow that I've been missing. They played an awesome playlist on the speakers that had me vibing the whole time. $32 was my total bill, which is BEYOND amazing for the treatment I received! They even offered me a punch card, that after the 10th visit, I would get a discounted service. I love that! What I love more is supporting Asian businesses. I have been doing so long before it was cool and the right thing to do. This might be out of the way, even a little bit for me, but I will definitely be coming here again, since hubby said this was the BEST haircut I've ever gotten. Thank you so much!

    Jason and his team are always so professional and nice to my friends and I when we come in. They always do what we ask for and it comes out looking so nice

    This does not look like a fresh cut...

    I was so excited to get a hair cut after going so long without one, and it still looks like I have terrible dead ends. I'm so disappointed and going to have to get it fixed. I guess I got what I paid for - cheap haircut and cheap looking.

    I always wanted to get my hair done at an Xcellent salon but they were all in Queens, when I found out they opened one in Brooklyn I knew I had to make an appointment! My friend and I got our hair done yesterday at Xcellent Hair Bar. It was a great experience and I can't wait to come back! When walking in, the salon was well kept, clean and spacious. Our stylist Jason was professional and walked us through the entire process. My friend Michelle wanted a blonde ombre while I opted for ashy gray balayage. The entire visit took around 5.5 hours. Jason and his staff worked together efficiently and had great teamwork! One thing to note that I'm very impressed about is that they do a strand test so you're 100% sure you want that color. The prices were reasonable as well, they have a 20% off all services promotion right now! At the end of the visit, Jason gave me a detailed sheet on taking care of my new hair (something ALL salons should do!) Overall, I am in LOVE with my new hair color and I'm already planning my next visit.

    See all

    I've come in here a couple times for cuts and coloring. I love that they're upfront about costs and can almost always take walk-ins.
