If you need a gorgeous, thoughtful cut and/or color--and want to feast your eyes on a wonderfully eclectic space and your ears on the sweet sounds of KEXP radio--Kim's your gal. She's a dope person, to boot. What are you waiting for?! read more

I got exactly what I asked for. I always have a hard time describing what I want and need when it comes to my hair style. But Kim listened and put into practice what I had in mind. And, the morning after, I was able to style my hair exactly as she predicted. Also, Kim works with great care and does not rush to get the job done. The price is right and the place is in beautiful Greenpoint. Indeed, as good as it gets. read more

Kim gave me one of the best haircuts I've had in recent memory! She listened to everything I asked and took great care to give me a fantastic cut. Her studio is super cute and she is very knowledgeable about hair. Her prices are so so so reasonable for an NYC wash, dry, and cut! Would absolutely go back. read more

This is a review for the salon Hair as well as stylist Melissa Zola. For those with short attention spans I'll give the reader's digest version up front - Melissa is amazing and the shop is oozing with charm. Melissa has always been awesome and I love going to her to get my haircut. She's professional in every sense. She's not afraid to share her opinion or give you guidance. Her goal is to give you exactly what you want even if you need some help describing exactly what that is. At the same time she's extremely friendly which makes the experience that much better. As for details on the actual cuts - I'm a guy with short thick wavvy hair. Melissa gives me a short scissor cut (no chop shop all trimmers cut a-thank you) and uses some thinning sheers so my hair isn't as heavy. She takes the time to do things right and my cuts last a long time because of it. I've been going to Melissa for about 2 years now (she used to work at another salon close by) and have referred a few girl friends to her as well. They all got the cutest most flattering cuts I've seen on them. I do not hesitate to reccomend her whenever a friend is looking for suggestions on where to get their hair cut. The shop is cozy with room for two stylists. Last time I went in they were doing some renovations, but it looked promising. The best way I can describe it is that it feels like you're hanging out in someone's apartment who also happens to cut hair. Can't wait to see it when it's all done. 5 stars for Melissa Zola and Hair. I can't say enough good things. I pity the foo' who don't make an appointment! read more

Lucky review number 50! There isn't much to say other than how exceptional this salon is, specifically Melissa Zola, who was my stylist. I have been searching for a good place to get my hair cut in the city, and have extremely curly hair. Because of that, I have had my fair share of bad haircuts. Fortunately, I found Melissa. I went in with a few ideas of what I wanted, and brought them to Melissa. She was honest and told me what she thought would work, and what wouldn't, and we settled on what cut she would give me - and I couldn't be happier with it! She did an amazing job fixing the mess I had left over from the last haircut, and totally re-did my bangs. She cut my hair so that it looks awesome straight or curly, and it feels so much lighter and fuller. She also gave me great recommendations for hair products and styles. I am extrememly pleased! I don't normally recommend salons or stylists, but Hair is exceptional. Call now, and ask specifically for Meliss! read more

Melissa has been the most professional hair dresser who has ever touched my hair. Absolutely amazing. I have to recognize that it's a little bit pricey, I've never spent so much but it was absolutely worth it ($160 for full highlights + tip). She studied what I wanted to do with my hair and told me everything she would do before setting the appointment. She was fast, professional, talked with me a little while, extremely polite... a dream!! And the result was more than awesome. Now that I'm back in Spain... god I'm gonna miss her!! read more

It seems unfair for me to give this place one star considering I NEVER ACTUALLY got my haircut there! Believe me it is not because I didn't try. I called repeatedly! At first, I did not leave any messages thinking-I'll just try back later someone is BOUND to pick up the phone at SOME POINT right? Wrong. I still don't get it-am I supposed to leave a message with three dates and times and then she picks one and leaves me a message back confirming? I don't know about you but I rarely check my own voice mail? If you want an alternative to hiring a person to book appointments to keeps the cost of a haircut more affordable-I'm IN! However, I would suggest an email or texting system maybe...or at least let the costumer understand how it is suppose to work. read more

This is a review for Melissa, quite overdue, but speaks to her range. In the past four years, my hair has gone from almost chin-length with bangs to beyond shoulder length without bangs, and Melissa has seen me through a subtle but tasteful transition. She never makes me feel bad for not coming on a regular basis even though I'm sure my hair is an unspeakable mess by the 2-3 month marker. When I start realizing that I have more bad hair days than good, I call, make an appt, and always can get in within a week despite the fact that my work schedule sucks. My hair is straight and thick, she always listens to what I want, and since I am not smart about knowing what looks good, is very helpful in giving advice. I also did color with her a few times (red for my brown hair) and I got compliments from strangers on it (I will get back to this habit when I get that raise). Conversation is always pleasant and interesting without being overbearing, and the shop is homey and intimate without being crowded. read more

I decided to trust all the amazing reviews and get my first haircut in two years from Kim. I am so glad I did! She is amazing. Everything about my experience was truly wonderful. The salon itself is gorgeous; you can tell that thought and soul went into the design of the place (and into how she runs her business)! Kim prioritizes listening to her clients and took the time to understand what I really wanted and to suggest ideas based solely on what I thought would work for me. She then put the ideas to work and gave me a haircut I love! Nothing felt rushed or forced - I was away feeling genuinely relaxed...and inspired! read more

Third salon I've been to since moving to NY. OK FOR REAL I hope I've finally found it this time. Kim rocks. She's super meticulous and really pays attention to the hair she's working on. She talked me through what she was thinking about doing with my hair as she could see I was sort of at a loss with what to do about it anymore. She had the right ideas and the cut took a while as she cut what felt like strand by strand. I can say, now that it's been a week, she totally got it. She got my hair, she got my look. I have no doubts it's going to grow out amazing as I'm finding it a little short now. But I know her cutting into it was just part of her PLAN to make it awesome. And so far, it is awesome and falls like I like it to. I'm going back and hope for the same, if not better, from Kim. And the price! Guys, really. Seriously. Get an appointment and see what she does with your hair! read more

Today was my third cut by Melissa, and every time I have left, I have felt like this is my best haircut yet. I have thick curly hair which has always been a challenge for many stylists. But Melissa just knows what to do. And since I have been visiting her, all my friends have commented how my hair has never looked better. She also puts in really nice highlights that give my hair a natural sun-kissed look. And they are artfully applied so that when my hair grows out, I don't have garish roots showing. I cannot recommend enough! Melissa is courteous and thoughtful. And not overly chatty. She seems to really be focused on my hair. And good lord, it needs it! Oh, and I also enjoy the music they play. Bonus points! read more

As all of the other 5-star reviews attest, Kim is awesome! I came in and asked for a haircut the way I do everywhere, and offered a few complaints about it's stubborn behavior. She made some suggestions that seemed counterintuitive to me (keeping things a little longer on top, thinning out some bulk), but my hair was a mess so I figured I had nothing to lose. I gave her carte blanche. 30 minutes later, I put on my glasses to take a look at the result. The cut was perfect--just the way I'd always hoped it would look after a cut, except every other time this hope had been followed by mild disappointment. The cut held up well, and I've since been back for more. Great price for a great haircut. What more to say? Bravo. read more

I have been going to Kim for over a year and she is the best hairdresser I have ever had. Top 5 reasons: 1. Amazing cuts on my curly/wavy hair 2. Highlights that look super natural and grow out beautifully. No horrible stripes here. 3. Her personality is so lovely and down to earth. No annoying hair dresser banter, if you don't feel like chatting that's cool too. 4. Great music & funky shop 5. Last but not least: amazingly affordable prices for the best fricken cut and color in NYC! *Book ahead, send a text with your preferred date and times and she'll get back to you when she's not giving 100% with a client. read more

Haircut was ok - atmosphere and service not so much. I got a trim from Kim, nothing special, but she did an ok job cleaning up a bob I'm growing out. I feel that overall it was lacking a bit of TLC - both the cut, the hair washing, and just the overall experience. A haircut is more than just a practical necessity. Its a feel good thing to do for oneself. Kim's Hair felt like an in and out and she couldn't have cared less about it. She also kept telling me I've got the wrong ideas about what I want for my hair or the wrong hair for those ideas or whatever. Price was borderline at $50. Wish the attitude would have been warmer and nicer, friendlier and more service oriented. Especially having read so many raving reviews here about her. I don't recommend this place and I certainly won't go back. read more

Usually before I move to a new city I get my hair cut by the person I've come to depend on for making me look like a reasonably respectable and contributing member of society. This is because the last few times that I took the leap of faith immediately upon arrival I was given whatever style was trendy with the dudes at the time, which I tend to completely abhor. From this I cannot hide, because my skull is absolutely enormous and I look funny in hats. In the name of science, and a complete and total lack of time, I decided to take a chance on Kim. I had shopped around a bit before I settled on Hair, and the other two places which were in walking distance and didn't involve a closet outfitted with a spinning chair and a patronly grandfather figure aching to give me the top mop of the 1950's just so happened to want way more money than I was willing to pay for a cut. Kim, on the other hand, is incredibly affordable -- in fact, the least I have paid for a proper styling in quite a few years and just as many cities. The setting of the place is cozy and intimate, tastefully decorated with a splash of eccentricity, and well-insulated against the throng of Manhattan Avenue. Kim's style is very abstract. Rather than going through the traditional stylistic motions of drawing lines about the scalp and rigidly hacking definitive layers, she shoots for the general length you're looking for whilst leaving herself some extra room for texturising, or as she refers to it: "The Coolness". As a fan of coolness at large, I informed her that she was officially my new haircut-giving-person, and will be booking an appointment at her shop well in advance the next time my hair is in need. And did I mention she has excellent taste in music? read more

Everything about Hair was a great experience. I've waited a couple days after my cut to see if I am still happy with it and I sure am. I have wavy hair that I am trying to grow out as well as bangs that I am growing out so this was a maintenance cut but she really made it so much easier to manage. My hair falls much more naturally - I am super happy. Hair is also a really great non-salon experience - I was actually relaxed. read more

First time checking out Hair after living in the neighborhood for a while. Kim knew exactly how to cut my hair to fit my style and exceeded my expectations. I love my haircut + refreshed look for the fall! read more

Unfortunately, I am not able to leave an actual REVIEW since I've been calling this place for TWO days and have left TWO messages in the attempt to MAKE AN APPOINTMENT. I guess the folks at Hair have a boatload of money and aren't interested in taking on new clients. It's a shame because after reading the great reviews, I was really looking forward taking my business here. As it stands, I made an appt today with Karcher (who also has great reviews AND answered their phone!). Within 10 seconds of hanging up the phone, I received an email confirmation of my appt. Yeah, I can get down with that. Happy for all you chosen ones that make the "cut" of actually getting an appt here. Sorry, but NO place is all THAT. read more

Kim is great, and she gives genius hair! I had a former hair goddess, Katya, at Tomcats also in Greenpoint but she moved away and I haven't been able to get a decent haircut since. After reading the Yelps about Kim I made an appointment and now I'll be going back as long as she's still wielding scissors. I don't have a lot of hair left on top, which makes it difficult to cut. Kim listened to my concerns and gave a great cut which had legs- not too short, but it grew in well and didn't bozo out at the crown after two weeks. She's an absolute master and a very nice person. Thanks, Kim! read more

I am your average dude that hates finding a good place to get a haircut but alas I have found my perfect spot. Kim is easy-going, plays awesome music and is great to talk to. The first time I walked in she played with my hair a bit before washing it to determine how it grows and falls which I had never heard before but thought was pretty cool and after an hour my hair looked sweet. She cuts in a way that it grows back very nicely and I've been back three times since. My recommendation: Go for a great, inexpensive ($30), haircut Thanks Kim, you kickass. read more

I love my haircut! Kim really looked at the way my hair sits. She did a dry cut first, then made some adjustments after the wash. I've never had someone actually look at my hair before, and ask as many questions. Highly recommend! read more

Kim is FANTASTIC! I have complicated hair and she asked me really great questions not just about the style but the shape I want my hair to take. Seriously the best haircut I've had in at least three years. 12/10 will get my haircut here again. read more

This review is long overdue. I have had my hair cut by Kim quite a few times now and have never in my life received such a perfect cut. She listens, but also has great insight and input. I would and have recommended her to everyone I know read more

I wish I found Kim earlier in my life. She was the one who saved me from the vicios cycle of bleaching my roots because i couldnt stand the dark roots look. But i also wanted to go natural without looking boring. She did exactly what i needed and now Kim is the only stylist i will ever trust my hair to. She is just the best and a real professional. THANK YOU! No more bleaching! :D read more

Great haircut! Great price! Just had my first haircut from Kim. I will be back. I have very thick curly hair which I cut infrequently. I wear it kind of long and fro-like. I asked Kim just to have at it and she did an excellent job. read more

After much research for a new hair salon came across Hair Greenpoint and Iam so glad I did. Had my appointment with Melissa and I couldn't be happier, she is super pleasant, nice and professional. Went for a balayage and hair cut, she first had a consultation with me to discuss a plan of exactly what I wanted...when I went it for my appointment I got exactly what I wanted. Beyond obsessed with Melissa's amazing work, love love this place so glad I found them. read more

Hair Greenpoint - Hair Salons Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

The best blowout i've ever gotten! I walked by this cute window (that Kim does herself) on my way to the bus one morning and popped in to make an appointment. I was not disappointed. Kim is so nice and meticulous and she was playing great old school hip hop. She even trimmed my bangs for free. Sounds kinda gross but i couldn't bring myself to wash it for 5 days. It consistently looked so good, day after day and i got tons of compliments. read more

This was my first experience at Hair. I had a nice haircut with Kim. I just wanted simple layers as I usually get. She instructed me that I could not get the type of layers that I wanted due to my hair texture. The only worry I have is that she charged me $90. I did not get color and her website said $60-$80 for haircuts. I originally went to her because of the price listed so this was a huge disappointment. read more

Kim Does great Scissor work In KEXP Soundtracked tiny shop. 35 for cut. read more

Not impressed. I got a $45 hair cut there.. and it sucked. She offered no tips and it looked bad. In her defense, my hair is wavy and thick.. Maybe shes good at simple hair/haircuts. Im only writing this b-c all of the positive reviews on here made me give her a shot.. Then the actual haircut made me never want to try another in NY. read more

Kim is amazing and has given me the best cuts! I've been going here for almost a year and am happy I finally found a place to get a quality cut without having to pay a ridiculous amount of money. When I first came in, I was nervous about going from a chin-length hairstyle to a short pixie-like cut, but the style she gave me fits my face/hair type perfectly. Not a month goes by that I don't get compliments by complete strangers on my hair. I've referred quite a few friends to her who have also experience similar results. Kim's also extremely friendly and great to talk to (if you like chatting while getting a cut). For the people who gave low stars due to the fact that it was hard to schedule a cut, she now has a part-time receptionist, who will return your call and also calls to confirm your appointment. To schedule an appointment w/o a lot of flexibility, it's best to call 1 1/2- 2 weeks in advance (this is what I do). read more

Kim is a hairmancer. Really, her work is magic. She helped me keep my curls lookin' good as I grew em' out and then reigned em' in when spring came along. My advice is to have a particular style in mind or a photo to image search before you get started. A visual reference just about guarantees you'll get what you want and you can trust Kim to give it to you! read more

Kim is the hair whisperer. I have super unmanageable hair with a mind of its own! Kim somehow gives me the perfect cut every time and i never walk out wishing for something else or waiting for it to grow out a little (like i have at most other salons). i live right above the salon and was SO EXCITED to find that it was great and so is Kim! She always takes the time to ask what I want, encourages me to bring pics and most importantly - she really listens! Next up is my color, because I trust that it will turn out marvelous! read more

Kim's wonderful! She gave me just what I wanted! I really enjoyed her. She is precise and meticulous. She is an artist and it shows in her work. read more

Today was my first ever appointment with Kim, and it was a wonderful experience. She was incredibly meticulous, knowledgeable and genuinely cared about selecting a color treatment that would keep my hair healthy. From start to finish, everything she did felt very specific to my hair and I'm really happy with the finished product! I'll definitely be returning for sure. Thanks, Kim! read more

Kim is amazing!!! A miracle worker and a boss lady. She is always able to tame my and my girlfriend's unmanageable manes. I got her info from word of mouth and it's no wonder why my friends recommended her. Support small business and check her shop out! read more

There are lots of haircutting places in greenpoint, but to me they all seem like either barber shops or salons for ladies. My regular stylist is in Manhattan and I've been going to him for years -- and paying $100 for a men's haircut. I meant to get a "haircut for the holidays" but of course that never happened. I've been passing by Hair for a couple of months -- it has a cute little storefront. When I saw pricing for men's haircuts starting at $25, how could I resist? So I decided to take a chance. My haircut was excellent -- a real salon cut with wash and dry. The space inside is charming and clean. The owner kim is friendly, down-to-earth and obviously loves what she does. And it really was just $25 for the whole thing, tax included -- worth every penny. read more

I've always been really picky on who I let cut my hair, but Kim is the best! Not only is she a joy to talk to, the cut is super affordable and she always does it right! read more

Melissa is a lifesaver! I have thick, curly, unruly hair, so it has always been difficult to find a hair stylist that knew how to cut it properly. Not only does Melissa have awesome skills, she has style and great suggestions too. Melissa gave me a super cute cut that not only frames my face perfectly, but also gives me so much more edge than before.This cut has seriously changed my life, it has helped me feel much more confident in my overall look..and I owe it to Melissa! read more

Having passed by this place in my neighborhood and determining that it looked cute and the prices were reasonable, I checked out reviews here. Great! All five stars! I found a secret in Greenpoint and I was excited. So I decided, since I just got my hair cut elsewhere about three weeks before, that I would start off by getting a bang trim to try out Kim and her salon. My intent was, if I was pleased with my experience, to see her regularly for cuts. I walked in two Fridays ago to see if she had anything open for that day, and she said she didn't but she 'might' have some time the next day if I wanted to stop in, but that she was 'really booked up and not sure she would have time'. I was not able to stop by the next day, so I called to schedule an appointment. She has no receptionist and does not answer the phone (which I can accept, seeing as how she's probably doing someone's hair and her hands are occupied), so I left a voice mail, expecting a call at the end of the day or at least at the beginning of the next day. No. No call. So I call again two days later and again I leave a voicemail. Two days later Kim returns my call, leaving me a voicemail saying that she might have an opening the next day for 5:45 or 6:45, but that again she is very busy. I call back, leave HER a voicemail stating my prefered time, and to please call me back to confirm. She never calls back to confirm so I don't show up because it's very inconvenient to show up somewhere and be told you don't have appointment. So, a few days after that I call again, leaving yet another voicemail, stating I still would like a bang trim and to please call and let me know about available appointments many days in advance so that we have time to get back to each other and confirm an appointment. She never returned my call after that. This has been a two week process, with no real effort on her part to be even remotely accommodating. A bang trim takes 10 minutes maximum, and could easily be done while another customer is waiting for their color to set. I can only think of two reasons this may have occured: 1) She doesn't think that a bang trim is worth the time for not much money in return, so does not try to fit one in over the course of two weeks. I would assume she would want to try to accommodate a possible new customer OR 2) She is in fact, so busy, with so many customers, that she really doesn't need any new business at all. Either way, it's a shame, because I was honestly excited to find what looked like a cute, local, cheap place to get my hair done. I'll try again in a few weeks when I need yet another bang cut, and if she still can't get the hang of returning calls, I'll just have to write the place off forever. read more
