Yeni will leave you mid session for up to 30 minutes without an apology or an explanation and rush to grab another walk-in client just so the other stylists don't grab them first. She's constantly late and never apologizes for keeping you waiting. She completely missed an appointment I had once because she claimed she forgot I was scheduled but was upset when I didn't say good morning first. I finally brought it to the owner's attention but he dismissed her unprofessionalism as miscommunication. Skip this spot, it's not worth the drama.

I personally go to see Lilian who is a gem! I'm a loose natural and see her for trims, blowouts and silk presses. Since it's a full salon and not a private space, I love watching the other staff members service their clients. They have staff members that braid, install wigs and extensions, do waxes and even makeup artists. It's truly a one stop shop!

I booked for a mid-day blowout, confirmed by phone and text days before, then arrived a few minutes early, got a robe, and was told to wait. About 35 minutes after my actual appointment time, a stylist finally strolled over with half an eye-roll, seeming extremely inconvenienced -- no greeting, no apology for the half-hour delay, and proceeded to sigh and eye-roll through the sloppiest (wet ears and face, she had to literally wipe my EYES) shampoo and frizziest blowout (yanking, pulling, whacking me in the head and face with the brush) I think I've managed to get just about anywhere in the city. I think all told we exchanged about 18 words throughout? Just bafflingly surly and amateur. Wild!

I've only ever seen Janelle (from the time she worked at Time Studio, Inc and even when she moved…read moreto Neal's salon) and she's always been great. She's well-versed in hair care and takes her time on her cutting, coloring and styling. Her portion of this review is FIVE STARS! However, I'm leaving a 2 star review for the nail services. I called the salon - which I only love 5 minutes from, back in May for an appointment with Phelisia. I was told that her calendar was full for June but would open on June 25th for July. I advised that I was a new client and would call back on the 25th to schedule. On June 25th, the salon was closed for business but the calls are still answered so I was told to call back on June 26th to schedule. On the 26th I was advised that as of the Saturday before (6/22), Phelisia told the front desk staff that she's not accepting new clients for July. I advised that I had been planning to make this appointment for 6 weeks and that fell on deaf ears. When I questioned when she'd be opening her books for new clients, I was told there wasn't a date (that it would likely not be 'forever'). I say all this to say, as a black-owned hair/nail studio that not only I patronized but have had others close to me patronize/become repeat customers (in the heart of Fort Greene where gentrification has taken over), it's important to communicate accurately so that people aren't taken by surprise like this. In my gut, I felt like this appointment would never happen anyway because the artist only provides a phone number on her IG page and doesn't answer direct messages regarding her services. Always a red flag, in hindsight. My recommendation: if you're looking for convenience, don't bother trying to book for Phelisia's book. The attached photo is from her Instagram story on 6/26 that still doesn't advise that she's not taking new clients but when you call and ask - they explain that bookings are for existing clients only. I sincerely feel for those who waited like I did only to be denied an appointment. A friend of mine actually decided not to pursue these services as well because of this. Just BAD BUSINESS! I'm not sure about the work of the other artist (Veronica) but one might have better luck getting in with her. Anything else is a waste of precious time to be frank.

I hadn't been to a salon in over a year and I was craving a professional's touch. Jai is amazing. She took me as a walk-in even though she was slated to leave soon. She could've turned me away but she didn't. One hour and a cool conversation later, I walked out with my natural hair perfectly straightened and feather-light, AND with a sick trim! Moral: Jai is my new stylist. It has to happen. She has a gentle touch and she's great at what she does. Other stylists were installing weaves and experimenting with new weave color combinations, so it seems like an atmosphere for innovation and hair creativity. Very happy to have found Colleen's! I'll be back in September!

The correct address: 56 Willoughby St. Brooklyn, NY 11201 (2nd Floor), correct number: 718-625-3714. My overall experience at Colleens House of Beauty was pleasurable from beginning to end. I hadn't properly cared for my hair in months and my hair was in desperate need of revival. Her assistant started by thoroughly detangling my hair and was gentle throughout the entire process. I must say I truly appreciate her patience. Once my hair was detangled she put my hair under the water and began the shampooing/ conditioning process. Shortly after Colleen stepped in to blow dry, trim, and style my hair. I am truly satisfied with the finished look and would highly recommend anyone to this shop. PROS: *excellent customer service *clean and stylish ambiance *convenient location CONS: *none :)

Her process of flat ironing seemed to be longer then what I'm use to, and I wasn't even bone straight when I walked out. I was charged $75. I would definitely go back, but she would be my back up.

My issue was a month ago a lady gave me a horrible sew in and caused an irritation on my scalp which in turn led to a scalp burn. Nonetheless I was determined to look good with my missing patch. I checked the cut life vehemently looking for stylists in the NY area because the salons that you see the most are in ATL. I was desperate but I wasn't that desperate to book a flight to get my hair done. All I know is that the lord also wanted me to look and feel good because he directed me to @hairhype_ insta page. I booked an appointment and the rest is history. The atmosphere of the salon is extremely welcoming, they play a plethora of music genres so that no one is left out. The only thing is that you must book an appointment. I do not believe they accept walk-ins as they are super booked up. I personally go to Gisele, she is my life saver and I am forever in her debt, however every professional that works there is talented. They don't settle for mediocrity, they go above and beyond every time. If you're thirsty or hungry, there are snacks and beverages that are there for you. Check them out!
