Fantastic, talented in both color and cuts. I have thick hair and have never had layers look so beautiful and blended.

Tim and Kate are ARTISTS and PROS at what they do. I have been going to them since February of 2020 and I make the drive every time just to see them. Not only does your hair come out exactly the way you wanted, but they are a blast to chat with and I always have a great time being around them. Fun, charismatic, kind, and they take their time to ensure your hair comes out perfect! Attached are photos of my experiences here and they are absolutely perfect. I cannot wait for my next time and I always look forward to seeing them again. They also have beautiful products and I am an avid user of their Amika brand that they feature in the salon. I really cannot say enough fantastic things about these two and their salon. I can't wait to be back! read more

So I went to this salon today with 3 Photos and I was extremely nervous but Tim had a way of taking all 3 photos (that were all a little different) and reading my mind and giving me the best hair cut I ever had!! Hands down! I honestly don't take that statement lightly... I can't wait to go back to him and see what he can do with color also. read more

Tim gave me the best cut and balayage of my life! I moved to the area almost a year ago and had been traveling the hour to my former salon because I was nervous to find someone new (past terrible experiences in mind). I took a leap of faith based on the yelp reviews and I'm so glad I did. Tim knew exactly what I wanted and needed based on a chat and an assessment of my hair. I realized halfway through that I forgot to show him pictures but he asked questions as he went and used his knowledge to great effect. Hair genius! It's been a couple of months now and my cut and color are still looking great. read more

Tim is hands down the best hair colorist. I wanted to lighten my hair for the spring/summer but in a low maintenance way that wouldn't require re-coloring it down the road. He used a technique called "hair painting" and it doesn't even look like my hair was dyed; it looks like a summery, natural sun-kissed blonde. If you want natural-looking, beautiful color, then you need to go to Tim. read more

Tim & Kate the most amazing stylists I've ever met, very warm and carry a positive aura around them. So talented and thorough in what they do and I assure that you will leave experiencing nothing less than magic. This was my first time in there and it definitely wouldn't be the last I showed couple of pictures to Tim and described what kinda haitcut I was looking for and he exactly did that and even better I must say. I've never been so content ever before. @bbhaircolorstudio @timbrickerhair read more

I've been coming to B&B for about a year for my platinum blonde highlights and cuts. Tim and Kate are talented, professional, knowledgeable and overall great people to be around. Most recently I had the Keratin treatment which smoothed and straightened my frizzy curls and left my blonde hair feeling smooth as silk. You won't find better colorists than B&B!! read more

Tim did an amazing job getting my hair wedding ready 6 days before my wedding. Not only did he correct a previous color job, he also made my hair color look soft and natural. The cut and styling were also fab. Thankful for the accommodating, flexible, and organized staff at B&B and for Tim's incredible skill! I can't wait to return for my next appt! read more

I came in for a color and cut appointment. My appt was w a stylist, however the owner stood behind me and totally made fun of my color, cut etc. I stressed that I only wanted a trim, but he went on and on about how I needed to get at least 3 inches taken off, making snarky remarks about how if I didn't do what he was suggesting I was going to look like I was from the 70's w a mullet (what?!?) So the color process began first. She asked what colors I liked and then went off to mix some stuff up, never confirming if those were the colors I wanted. Then came back and started bleaching out my hair. Again, not explaining what she was doing prior...but as she was doing it eek!!! When it was time to wash out my color, she didn't wash OR condition it...just rinsed out the color. AND as she was doing this, she says, "do you think you could come back another day for your cut? I'm getting really busy here". Wtf?!? The cut was the MAIN reason I came to this salon!! Then the owner comes over and says "just put some conditioner on her and she will be fine". At this point, I just wanted to get the hell out of there. I told them don't worry about it, I'll come back when you're less busy. She was stoked about that...didn't even shampoo or put conditioner in my hair. Just rinsed me and then passed me off to another stylist to blow dry me. Soooooo unprofessional. This place is very new in Princeton and one would think they would be trying to make good impressions. When I asked when I could come back for my hair cut the owner tells me it will be at least 2 weeks!!! Hello?!? My hair cut was supposed to be today and now because YOU didn't manage your time and appointments, I have to wait two weeks?!? Besides the terrible service, the salon itself is bare and has 0 style or personality. Def would not recommend and def would never go back. Oh, and my pillow cases were ruined by dye that should've been washed out. Ugh read more

I visited this salon for a consultation before getting any work done. The owner seemed disinterested and spoke poorly about the work that had been done on my hair. When I arrived for my appointment, he was cold and unprofessional. During a haircut I heard him on the telephone speaking loudly, upset about all of his cancellations (and swearing as well). He may be good at what he does, but his demeanor and lack of professionalism will keep me from going back. read more

I have been going to B&B for several years and have always had a positive experience. Tim, the co-owner, always knows exactly how to make my hair look amazing. I even trusted him to cut almost twelve inches off my hair a couple of years ago. Even though I do not color my hair, as a natural blonde, my hair always looks blonder than when I first walk in the door and much healthier. Their new space is upscale and modern and the assistants have always been welcoming and professional. I definitely recommend coming here! read more

Tim Bricker is a hair God! I've been coming here since I was in college. He is the master of short hairdos. I came to him when my hair was halfway down my back and trusted him to cut it all off and manage my hair into a pixie. He did an awesome job. Great colorist too. Sitting here now letting my new highlights cook in. Love B&B!!! read more

B+B Hair Color Studio - Hey, that's me! ;) - Hair Salons Near Me - Princeton, New Jersey

I am so satisfied with my hair! I showed a couple pictures, and after just a few seconds of explanation, Tim said "got it" and went to work. My end result was almost exactly like the pictures (and I only say "almost" because I think my hair turned out even better than the pics!) Both Tim and Kate are so knowledgeable in their craft and are genuinely great people. Highly recommend! read more

The B&B salon was simply great!!! Tim took the time to talk to me about what I wanted & actually looked at how the length would work on me. He really listened when I told him I wanted it short! Staff was friendly. Recommend highly. read more

I've been here three times and each time was for a color correction. Tim always finds a way to fix the mess that I got my hair into from going to other salons. I was telling him earlier I should definitely stop doing that and should just go to this salon everytime to get my color done right. read more

I moved to the Princeton area and was looking for a hair salon that could fix my hair color after my highlights had grown out. I went into the salon and Tim and Kate were nothing but nice from the moment I stepped through the door. I told Tim that I wanted a subtle style where you could still see my highlights but that the color would look like my natural hair. The conversations we had while Tim was cutting my hair were great and effortless as if I was talking to a childhood friend. After he colored and cut my hair, it was as if I was a brand new person. He fixed my highlights and added another color that blended the highlights and my natural hair color together. I will now only go to B and B hair color studio for my hair needs. read more

B&B is an absolute gem. Every single stylist in this place is friendly, welcoming, energetic and upbeat. I saw Jillian and she is amazing. She knew exactly what I was looking for in a drastic hairstyle and color change. My hair has never looked as good as it does now after seeing Jillian once. I had such a wonderful experience and will never go anywhere else! read more

I was looking for a new salon to try in Princeton to help color and highlight my blonde hair. I thought I would take a shot on them. The receptionist was very bubbly and polite. I really liked her energy. When I first had my stylist Jillian she was very friendly and personable. She was so energetic and convincing that I also decided that I should get my hair cut. I had a photo for reference of how I would like my hair to be cut especially my bangs. I've been showing that picture for years. I have had sideswipe bangs forever. The first red flag is when she put toner in my hair without permission. I did not mind that she did that because I have had my hair done blonde many times and understood but I would have appreciated her notifying me that it would've cost extra first. The color was fine but the real issue came to my bangs. they were chopped up and very short l...looking almost nothing like the photo that I presented despite stressing how important my bangs were to the entire cut of my hair. I have a photo for reference but my bangs actually get shorter when they're supposed to be getting longer. I am not here to bash anyone but I just am so dissatisfied with the money I invested in a trust I put into the salon to do my hair and left very unsatisfied. At the end I felt pressured to write a great Yelp review but I wasn't happy with my hair at all and it wasn't even fully blown out like it has been in the past years whenever I would get my hair done. it was left semi wet. I felt somewhat rushed after the manager and the receptionist left and I wanted to speak up and say something but what could be done at this point I just have to wait for my bangs to grow out. Sometimes I feel as though if the haircut and the service was that amazing the customer will write their own Yelp review and you never have to ask. it should be organic. read more

B+B Hair Color Studio - Per my review, here are my bags one week after and here is the photo I showed her for reference. - Hair Salons Near Me - Princeton, New Jersey

For some reason my reviews, which were three consecutive five star reviews, disappeared from Yelp! To recap, I give the salon a perfect score for color, highlights, and hair cut. Jillian is amazing! She is above and beyond stylists I've had. Her skills exceed the high end salons in the area and she has won me over for life. I've found all the staff there to be extremely friendly. I highly recommend this salon for any hair service and stand behind the perfect rating! read more

I have been coming to B&B for a couple years now since moving to Princeton. The owners and staff are wonderful, friendly and seem very knowledgable on the latest trends. I don't color my hair so I cannot comment on that but I can say I have always loved my cuts and get many compliments on them. Before I started going to B&B I tried several other salons in Princeton; they were all over priced and the staff seemed pretentious. As long as I am in the Princeton area I will continue to get my hair cut here. read more

Kate has been doing my color for 2 years. I get a base color with highlights. She does a great job making it look natural and beautiful. We are always tweeting it depending upon the time of year and my desire to be more or less blonde. I always get compliments on my hair color. I'd highly recommend her. read more

I have been going to B&B for 5 years and primarily see Tim. Tim is a master with color and cutting. I have thick hair and the technique he uses with a blade to thin out my hair is wonderful. I love my color and get compliments all the time on it. read more

A woman considers her hair one of the most important features. If our hair doesn't look good, it can really throw us off for the day. I have to say, that every single time I get my hair done at B&B, I am in love. It is exactly how a woman should feel after she gets her hair done. Kate and Tim are knowledgeable, and friendly. I can't thank them enough for making me feel great when I walk out, and until my next appointment. Thanks B&B! read more

So happy to have found B&B! Everyone is incredibly friendly and I actually get compliments on my hair from strangers. Tim immediately executes the vision I'm going for and the hair painting result is always natural and beautiful. Would recommend to anyone looking for a great cut and natural balayage look. read more

I normally get my hair colored in NYC at Bumble and Bumble. While I was visiting my parents I noticed my roots (gray on dark brown hair-bad look) could not wait till I got back home to the city. I searched online and found BB. I went there because I have been to Metropolis and La Jolie back when I was in high school and knew what I would get. They are more fluff they substance, especially Metropolis. We live in Princeton people, cut it with the attitude. Based on their website and an article I recalled a few years ago I decided on BB Color. Tim and Kate seemed friendly and talented and I liked both their hair cuts, which I think determines what you will get, especially since I believe they style each others. I was able to get an afternoon appointment. I was delighted by how genuinely nice they actually were. Tim took the time to look at my brown hair and really make a blend to create the perfect shade. My gray is gone AND my hair (though I only got a single process) looks rich and shiny. I was also pleased with the price. I am used to having to pay an additional $40 to get my hair blown out which seems silly since one would think the stylist would want to know how the color actually looks. I also bought the orlofluido they carry and so far love. I was going to buy it online because I had not seen it stocked before. This is very long winded but I was extremely pleased with my results. I now plan on waiting for when I visit my folks again to get colored here. GREAT JOB! read more

It's been more than a year from the first time I brought my daughter to B+B. True to my word, I became a customer as well. We both now use Jillian for color and cuts. I cannot say every visit has been perfect over the last year. My daughter's second visit was for a root touch up (after the previous color mistake that was made at home). Within a few days, it was obvious that the color was wrong. The roots were obviously a different shade from the rest of her hair. That was disappointing. But, a phone call to the salon and she was back in the chair the next day and they made it right. Have not had an issue other than that in the last year. Also, when my daughter was out of town for a few weeks, Jillian gave her the color recipe so that she could have another stylist take care of her elsewhere. Even that stylist commented on the beautiful natural looking color and health of my daughter's hair and kept the color recipe for herself to use for her own clients. I just don't think this sort of thing is done by many stylists and colorists. I think the typical stylist would keep their secrets to themselves. Another reason we will continue to use this salon. read more

I went to B and B for a color correction. My hair was damaged and I did not expect much. Much to my surprise I left with great color, a great cut and my new FAV product healing oil. If you are looking to be waited on and offered a glass of champagne , this salon is not for you. However, if you want healthy hair that looks beautiful and natural.Kate and Tim really are terrific. They are professional and fun. read more

These guys are the best, they always make it right. They make creative suggestions and they are very flexible with scheduling.

Just got a Balayage by Jill and it was amazing! She did such a good job and my hair looks awesome. Really natural and a beautiful color. The prices here are great too. Welcoming staff and environment too! read more

Jill is great and very talented. A very relaxing salon. Love the products. I would highly recommend coming here. Most salons make you pay extra to style after a cut or color not here its included in the service. GREAT PLACE. read more

You simply cannot go wrong with B & B Color Studio. I have been going to B & B since the salon opened. Tim specializes in perfection when it comes to his customers. Whenever I want to change my hair, which is often, Tim takes the time to review pictures and ideas that I may have. He looks at the shape of my face, the texture of my hair and my skin tone. Is it a wearable color/style for me? Will I be able to duplicate the style on my own? I have had styles from beautiful long locks to the short and sassy cut I have now. My color has ranged from dark auburn to the blond I am today. I have even had Keratin treatments to straighten my "difficult humidity hair" and the outcome was amazing. Truly the most professional salon in the area. Truly the most trained colorist/stylist you will find. I know this review is long but I cannot explain to you in one or two sentences why B & B is so awesome. Once you go, you will be a lifetime customer. Enjoy your new look! read more

Had a great experience here. The bottom tips of my hair had faded to a reddish brown that did not match at all with my dirty blonde roots growing in. Tim took the time to give me exactly what I was looking for and provided great color correction! I love the results and it looks so natural. Overall, really nice staff and relaxed salon atmosphere. Thank you! read more

Was greeted nicely, salon had 1 other client. Street parking with meters using quarters 2 hr Max. Was there to see Tim owner & master colorist as he advertises. He Listened to me speak for 5-7 min about my wishes for color correction & I was first time client. Above the shoulder hair length & straight. Needed color correction with blond not touched by anyone prior to him for 5 months. I told him stylists always turn my HAIR orange. He says that won't happen. I was there for a 2 hr visit. They were attentive& after 378.00 plus generous tips & a future appt I leave. 2 hours later in the day light my hair has an orange hue all over. I call & am greeted with a nice tone -- tell my story as to what I see. I am told to come in and a correction will be done by an assistant not Tim. I was also told I could have my money back. Shocked, I try to have a conversation with the girl on the phone about the issues after spending on my hair & products and tips over 400.00. I am told my the girl at the desk I have taken too much of their time that belongs to other clients. I said I could come in on Thursday being the Jewish holiday is today . Was told Tim is booked - no time for you Donna. I did speak with Tim and he did say correction could be done. I asked what the result would be & what was expected since what I was told initially this orange was not the case for B&B. My hair was blond/dirty blond hair turned orange. He never said anything just got off the call. He used the word "retarded" during my visit to reference the intellect of other stylists he didn't know. He was also referencing the stupidity of other stylists random to my conversation. I was not sure but I suppose he was angry with a razor cutter in his hand using it on my hair that is FINE in texture. I told him the result of using that tool on the ends of my hair causes frizz. He said he doesn't cut the ends. Well he did just that and removed the front ends of a BOB hair style to give me movement. I never asked for movement. I really don't like the hair cut/trim & orange hue. I paid on debit card they don't allow AMEX. No other clients arrived in the salon while I was there. Tim was proud to tell me of his relationships in NYC with a particular salon. He uses GOLDWELL products. He did foils on my hair for this orange hue. So, I won't be back and won't tell anyone to go to this place in Princeton. I made a mistake! There are plenty of other great salons in that town. He is not in the nicest area on Witherspoon Street. Bldg is easy to see. All in all move on & don't believe he can help & don't believe he is an expert. I was forced to give him 1 star he deserves 0. Not sure how he is in business! I am happy I went elsewhere for correction of Orange hue & was told he is known to not achieve what a client wants in many circles around Princeton. read more

Just had another great service at b&b! Tim gave me a great hair cut that really works with my texture, face structure and lifestyle! Prior to this cut, I almost always put my hair in a bun or pony tail because it was hard to style, and usually looked like crap by the end of the day. But with this new cut, it's very easy to style, keeps it shape for days and looks good! Even disguises my roots so I can go 6 weeks between touch ups instead of 4. I also got color that looks fantastic! If you're looking for a style/cut/color that's sexy and cool but classy, try this salon! Be forewarned that Tim has an acerbic wit that maybe not everyone takes a shine to (think Ricky Gervais), but has a big heart. I find everyone at the salon to be very friendly and sweet. They even run out to feed the parking meters for patrons! I usually park on one of the nearby side streets, where it's free parking for 2 hours. read more
