After putting off haircuts for months because we were just too busy, we had Lucas come to out house to cut my and my husband's hair. What a luxury and what fun! We have both had trouble with hairdressers in the past - none of them have gone past the safe, known cuts that are typical. As a result we've gotten cuts that are ok or good for a while, but that don't address our underlying desire for style or more importantly, address the underlying issues of our hair texture in achieving those styles. Lucas listened to our vague desires, really listened, and translated them into haircuts that were fitting in a way we never would have imagined. My husband has a thick wavy long mane that turns into a big and unruly triangle of hair with a standard cut. Lucas managed to keep the thick waves and some of the length that I love, while cleverly thinning out areas to control the volume. In the months that followed, the cut held up beautifully - a good sign of a high quality cut. With my sometimes straight, sometimes wavy hair, Lucas took some time to check out my bone structure to figure out exactly which cut would shine. I encouraged him to push the envelope with my cut and go for a bold shape. When I've asked other hairdressers to go or bold, they never go bold enough. Lucas really pushed the drama and I stepped away from the chair feeling stylish and sexy. The cut has also worn very well for me. I have not had the desire to put it up in a ponytail once, since he cut it a couple of months ago. Aside from his skill with scissors, it was just plain fun! Lucas has great, bouncy energy that's infectious. I can't wait to have him do my hair again. read more

Okay so there are posts every other week about how great Lucas is on my local parenting list serve...and having a kid that hates getting his haircut I can see why parents would rave about Lucas. But have to admit I was too skeptical to imagine he could do a good job on my hair - I'm too fussy. So we got the witty, funny juggling hairdresser over to do my son's hair (and that's worth paying for anyway) and it was obvious how good he was even with the three year old...so this last time I decided to get him to do mine too. I love my haircut. And have to confess to being one of those people who never likes a new haircut for a week or two. He was flexible, open and prepared to make a decision when I couldn't decide (bangs or no bangs). Best haircut I've had in this city (and I've tried a lot of places)...AND your kid gets a cut for free...and he can watch star wars at the same time. Perfect. read more

Lucas gave me a great cut--the cut looks snazzy a month later, the true sign of a quality do. I normally go to a salon in Soho, and I have for many many years, but I decided to try something new. Anyway, Lucas did not disappoint--not only was it much more reasonably priced (so much so that I might think of getting more than 3 or so cuts per year), but the cut looks great. I also want to add that Lucas came through in a special circumstance--when I was getting my haircut, I seemed to be coming down with something. I felt faint, the type of thing that happens at the outset of a flu, etc. Anyway, he actually gave me a lift and dropped me off at home so that I wouldn't have to take a subway in that state or pay for a car service. So yeah, he made me feel more like a person rather than just a customer. All in all, great cut, great person. Five beautiful estrellas. read more

Lucas is awesome. We used to take our 4 year old son to Lu Lu's in Park Slope, but since Laura left we have been underwhelmed by the cuts he's been getting there. And the place is a bit of a zoo. We just wanted to find someone who could do a cool cut without chaos. We found Lucas on Yelp, and he seemed to fit the bill. Bottom line: He gave our son the coolest, most professional-looking cut he's ever had, and he was a great guy to boot. Great with kids, and apparently will do adults and house calls. How can you beat that? As some other reviewer put it when talking about some other kid's haircut/toy store, we should demand the same level of skill and attentiveness for our kid's cuts as for our own, not just a place full of toys and car chairs to sit in. Lucas listens to what you want and does it right. read more

A great find. He is no longer at this salon but does house calls or you can go to him. He is the only person I have ever found who knew what to do with my 3 year old's hair. I have been everywhere, the fancy children's haircut places (will not name them here) which totally sucked, and barber shops, where my child cried like he was being skinned alive. Lucas understands the shape of a child's head, the texture of a child's hair, and has a very easy way about him which makes children feel comfortable. Other hairstylists have always used the excuse that my child moved too much during the haircut for it to come out well. Guess what, it is a child, and sometimes they will move. Lucas knows this and is able to cut around it and engage them. Would not go back to anybody else at this point. Great guy! read more

Lucas cut my hair and that of my two-month-old this afternoon, and he was great! It was very easy to set up an appointment and he came to our apartment. He gave me a great cut for going back to work after maternity leave. He also trimmed my son's hair in a few key places, helping his hair look much more even, instead of the mix of long strands and bald spots that he had naturally. Lucas was quick with my son so that he didn't even realize anything was happening, and didn't cry. I thought the price was great, too - $55, which includes the kid cut. I had been anxious about going to a salon to get my hair cut, especially because I'd need to bring my child to feed him, and husband to watch the child--this was so much better. read more

It's just SO AWESOME that Lucas does housecalls! His name kept popping up on the local mom's yahoo group so I saw it as a sign to try him out and see what he can do with my ever evolving post-birth hair (fine-lots of hair then lost hair-then hair growing back). I thought all I needed was a trim, but I got this great cut/style afterwards. Plus it's was really fun conversing with Lucas as he was cutting my hair. It's a HUGE bonus that he cuts my toddler's hair for free even though she was asleep throughout the process! I'm definitely calling Lucas again for my followup cut in 3-4 months. Absolutely recommend him if you're a parent who doesn't have time for a salon appointment. read more

Just got a great cut from Lucas! I love that he came to my house, the price is right, and he really understood what I wanted/needed. Unlike a lot of cuts, it wasn't much shorter than what I asked for....just right. He was also great about explaining how to care for the cut (products to use, the right way to blow dry my hair) and was very cool about me coloring my hair myself. Even had some recommendations there, despite the fact that he does do color as well as cuts. He will definitely be my new go-to guy! Next time I'll make sure to schedule when my daughter's home so she can get a cut too. And, as others have said, what a super-nice guy. read more

It doesn't get easier or better. Lucas showed up at my house at 9am on a Saturday morning (I'm in Carroll Gardens, so don't be scared off if you don't live in Williamsburg - he travels) and gave great hair cuts to my husband, our 3 yo daughter and me. By 11am we all had new looks and we hadn't even left our home. I was a little skeptical about my own cut, as he left the front longer than I'm used to and told me he thought it would be better that way. He was absolutely right and I'm completely happy with the cut. My daughter and husband look great too. The price is better than most of my local salons. You can't go wrong! read more

Lucas came to our house after school and gave haircuts to myself and my daughter and my friend and her son. He is great at listening to what you want and everyone looked great when he finished, the straight hairs and the curly hairs! It was the best haircut my daughter has every had, she had lots of compliments at school the next day. He gives great tips about how to care for your hair if it is a new haircut and really listens to what you want. He was fine with the chaos of teens, toddlers and 7-9 yr old boys with balls running around while he cut. What better way to celebrate spring than a courtyard haircut party? read more

Lucas rocks. Best hair cut I've had in ages. He cut my son's hair (age 18 months) and did such a great job (both in terms of the actual cut but also in managing to make it a FUN experience for my impatient tyke) that I thought I'd give it a whirl too. Best haircut I think I've had in years; not only that, he came to my apartment and cut my hair in my living room. Lucas takes his time to do it right, isn't shy about making recommendations, but most importantly listens closely to what you want in terms of styling. Goodbye overpriced W/Burg and Manhattan salons; hello Lucas! Can't recommend him enough. read more

After I developed very strong skin allergies to fragrances, I turned to Lucas for haircuts in my house to avoid a random blast of hairspray that I might get at the salon. Not only do I feel so much safer getting my haircut at home, but the cut is better! And less expensive. What you lose in the whole hairwashing/salon experience, you gain in being able to get your haircut in crappy sweats. For me at least, that's a total bonus. And the conversations I have with Lucas seem so much more real and down to earth than the faux conversations I feel obligated to have at the salon. Happy to have found him! read more

Yeah, I know, everyone gave him 5 stars. How can that be? GREAT HAIRCUT. I just had my first haircut with Lucas, and it won't be my last. I jokingly asked him to make me look 5 years younger...and wow. Since I've gotten more gray hair, I've been getting it dyed, which has made the texture more coarse and hard to style...well Lucas made it look great. And I really do look 5 years younger, if I do say so myself. GO LUCAS! Whoohoo! Really nice guy. Really great cut. And I got to hang out at my friend's house in Cobble Hill and drink wine while Lucas snipped away and made us all look fabulous. Thanks Lucas! read more

Reviews don't lie, and there is a reason Lucas has gotten nothing but 5 stars. My experience was amazing. Lucas will either come to you or you can go to him. I chose to go to him and got to meet his wonderful family. Just awesome people, sharing great conversation throughout my haircut. Lucas is a legit hair dresser as well. He used to work at some fancy Soho salon charging hundreds of dollars for a cut, but now he does this because he just enjoys it way more. He usually charges $40 for a men's cut if you to him, and $55 if he comes to you. It was like the ideal, perfect Williamsburg experience. read more

Lucas Rocks!!!! Not only is Lucas a true professional who gives high-end salon quality haircuts, but he's tapped into a well-needed market of providing haircut housecalls! He's also extremely reasonably priced, and cut my 3yr old's hair for free. We're both extremely happy with our new summer 'do's, and our new discovery of Lucas' services! Making an appointment was easy, he easily accommodated my schedule and was on time. You will definitely not be disappointed if you make an appointment with Lucas Radcliffe!! read more

Lucas is great. He's a talented stylist & colorist. He makes house calls. He cuts adults & kids. He's cut my hair twice, and done my color once & I've loved it; (& my toddler son twice) He asked me what I wanted & gave me exactly that. Now that I've met Lucas, I will never go back to the salon unless I'm looking for an "event" or some "me-time" or something. The great cut, convenience, incredible price & fast experience is, for me, a dream come true. Plus, he's a genuinely nice person. read more

lucas saved my 2 y.o., max.....max's grandma gave him an unfortunate bang trim, and he looked like a member of the heaven's gate cult waiting for the mothership. i don't know if lucas is a trained de-programmer or what, by my son did not drink the kool-aid and went from bowl cut w/ too-short bangs to a hip little two-year-old channeling noel gallagher, very cute. lucas was a lot of fun, and managed to spritz max with water, cut, blow dry, and apply product in 20 minutes. well-done!! read more

I love my haircut! Lucas knew just what to do with my thick, straight (and sadly neglected) hair. He was also totally patient with my two-year-old and did not bat an eye when I had to take a few breaks to fix my toddler a snack or get him some toys. As a busy mom trying juggle parenting and freelance work, it can feel next to impossible to for me to schedule a salon appointment. Lucas's house call service makes it possible to get a (great) haircut without having to hire a babysitter. read more

This is the first haircut I've been happy with in years! All I told Lucas was he could do whatever he wanted as long as he kept it long enough for me to put in a ponytail and he didn't make me look like a mom, and he gave me a very stylish non-mom haircut that I love! I've never been happy with any haircut I've had in Brooklyn, even the ones that claim to be as good as Manhattan, but Lucas definitely brings Manhattan style and quality at a Brooklyn price right to your home. read more
