Went back in to touch up and lighten my balayage and a treatment about a month ago. My hair is wavy/ curly and rather fine, making it a little difficult to work with. The result of touch up came out very beautiful! I did do the 3 to 4 step Milbon treatment as the first time I came here and my hair was soft for weeks. I honestly think that Joe does a wonderful job deciding and helping clients with the choice of color and he is honest in how much lighter a person's color can get. My hair was lightened to a level that I wanted, and Joe gave me advice on how to maintain the salon's treatment before the next treatment. The salon's environment was very very busy when I came in, and I was happy to see all the customers that the salon could handle efficiently all at the same time. The hair stylists and colorist keep an eye out to prevent the bleach from over processing and I didn't feel like I was left stranded for a long time by the staff while my color was processing. Can't wait for my next visit back! read more

I've gone to this salon twice and would keep coming back to get my hair done here. Everyone is super friendly and attentive. There's usually 2 people working on your hair at a time so it's actually faster than other salons for a balayage. They use Milbon to treat your hair and give you a pack to take home as well. I appreciate the hair care tips too! I loved the results and it was exactly what I wanted :) read more

Joe and his team are excellent! This is my second time returning to this salon and am very happy with the results. It was definitely a little overwhelming at first with so many people working on your hair (I got a balayage), but the atmosphere remained very professional. Very reasonable price point for balayage/cut/style. And as always, love how the color turned out. Tip- Bring a book! read more

Omg I want to cry. This salon is AWFUL. I went because it got so many good reviews and the photos online and on Joe's Instagram are gorgeous but omg. First of all the salon is dirty. I sat down and there were still hair clippings from someone else on the floor. Joe didn't actually do my hair. He looked and it and handed it off to some other guy. He put the dye on and left me sitting for OVER AN HOUR. I could tell the color was off but OMG. It was BRIGHT auburn red. Look at the photos below. The fu face photo is be the morning I went in. I just wanted my natural root color touched up and they thought THIS would look best? It's AWFUL. What absolute trash. Never go here. read more

New Light Hair Salon - My hair was dark, it looks healthy and love the color - Hair Salons Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Great salon, I've been coming here regularly and usually get a haircut with the Milbon treatment, which I love. The stylists are talented and I'm always happy with my haircut. However, during my most recent visit, the hair wash felt rushed and conditioner wasn't used. I didn't speak up at the time, but I did leave with quite frizzy hair, which was disappointing compared to my usual experience. read more

I have been going to New Light Hair Salon for 3 years now and their service and quality has been top tier. I always color my hair blue which is hard to do and it always turn out great. Joe takes great care of you and listen to your concerns. One year I decided to go purple and it didn't come out right and he personally redid it himself. The price is affordable, better than any place I went to in the city and the color is unmatched. read more

I originally came here because they seemed to have good reviews for balayage, but if you're only looking for a haircut, I would not recommend this place. I requested Joe and asked for a simple trim. The entire haircut was extremely rushed. He only used thinning shears on the back of my hair, didn't properly section or measure anything, and didn't even touch my bangs even though they were clearly too long. My husband stepped outside for a cigarette right when the haircut started, and I was basically done before he even finished smoking. Even my husband said it was insane how fast and careless the haircut was and told me I should go back inside to complain. I didn't because it was only $20, but I definitely will not return and would not recommend going to Joe for just a haircut. Honestly, it felt like they're only interested in customers coming in for expensive color services and not in keeping clients who just want a quality haircut. read more

OMG! This was my first time going to New Lights. I was seated right away! Sarah took me to the bowl to wash my hair, she took her time washed my hair twice she did amazing! She even massaged my neck and she was so sweet and made sure to ask me what i wanted. Then i was sat down and Raymond blow dried and cut my hair. He cut my hair FLAWLESS. Im Dominican/Hispanic i didnt know what to expect but he blow dried my hair to perfection. I asked for layers to be as long as possible while still being healthy and a trim. I'm in love with my cut. He kept the length as long as possible as well. I will be coming back! Can't beat this cut for the price. Even told my sister to go! Thank you Sarah & Raymond! read more

I got a balayage and a Milbon hair treatment here, and I'm so happy with the results. Joe created a beautiful cool ash brown balayage with soft smoky gray highlights that blend so naturally and add amazing dimension. The color turned out beautifully blended, and the Milbon treatment added amazing smoothness and shine. My hair feels healthy and soft even after coloring. The stylist and the entire team were welcoming and attentive throughout the appointment. Highly recommend them if you want gorgeous, healthy hair and a great salon experience. read more

I've been coming to Light Hair for 7-8 years now. I get all of my haircuts and color done here. I've really missed coloring my hair since I've been growing it out for about three years, so I decided to try balayage again with Joe. I didn't have a clear idea of what I wanted until the last moment while I was waiting for my turn, and I started browsing for inspiration photos. As always, Joe did his consultation by asking me about my color preferences. I showed him a picture of one of his recent work, and he absolutely delivered. During the consultation, he did mention that the outcome might not be an exact match since everyone's hair is unique, but I have to say it turned out quite similar to what I envisioned. In addition, I came in with a full head of black hair, I thought it might be tricky for the dye to take well. I opted for an ash blonde look. Thanks again, Joe! I'll definitely be back for more! Price: $260 as of January 2025 read more

I was recommended by a friend to come here since I had previously went to other places which denied helping or fixing my hair due to already having color in it. I came here and they went through every possibilities and things I could do with my hair or what I wanted. Everyone was very nice and they offered water, no judging and over all very nice. The pricing was amazing. Everything was magnificent. I'll be coming here from now on! read more

I rarely give out reviews but ever since I have been going to this salon, they never disappoint. They take their time making sure what you want done and give their recommendations on what they believe is best to do for your hair without damaging it. I also love the scalp massage I received while they washed my hair and also the neck/shoulder/back massage afterwards. It makes up for the long hours that it took to get my hair done. I don't trust any other salon to dye my hair. This will always be my go-to place :) read more

This was my first time ever dyeing my dark natural hair, so I was a little nervous, but the team absolutely nailed it. I wanted a balayage inspired by Jessica Alba in the early 2000s, and they brought my vision to life perfectly. The color is stunning and exactly what I hoped for. Haircut was included and I'm so in love with the result. The entire experience from start to finish, couldn't have been better. I couldn't recommend them more! read more

Decided to come here after following their IG for a long time. I made an appointment via text as stated and was able to get in on a Sunday morning. Joe was kind and attentive, he asked what color I wanted. After showing him a reference photo, he said he will try his best to get as close to the dark blue I wanted. It was amazing how his team worked, each person had a task and they worked seamlessly together in an assembly line manner. They kept watch of my time and made sure I was taken care of. Also a special compliment to Raymond who worked on my hair before and after the coloring. No one could ever cut my bangs the right way, but Raymond got it done! Thank you very much. Overall, the color came out amazing and just as I wanted it! Very satisfied with what Joe and his team brought to me! A great first time experience for coloring hair here. read more

Came here for a wash and cut and was pleased with the service and overall experience. I called to make an appointment but they said if you're coming for a cut you can just walk in. I would highly recommend coming in around the time the salon opens if you're going on the weekend because it got crowded rather quickly. I came in 10 mins after opening and I didn't have to wait much at all. The hair wash experience was great - super relaxing! I requested a haircut with Sam and really enjoyed his attentiveness. I recommend having some pictures to show what type of haircut you would like! Throughout the cut he took the time to ask and make sure the length was ok which I really appreciate. The wash and cut was also super affordable at $25 before tip. Would recommend this spot for anyone looking for a quick spot to get a wash and cut. read more

I absolutely love this salon. I live about 30 mins away but always make the trek over to get the best service. I usually just do a simple cut but the service is so friendly, they always give me the best haircuts all for $20. They take cash only so just keep that in mind if you visit! read more

Please save your money and time, go elsewhere. And please don't be deceived with reviews and their Before and after photos. The after photos are done under bright ring lights. After very careful consideration I will not recommend this place or come back ever again. There are a few things that arise through and post my visit that are red flags. 1. It was not the vibe, if you looking to relax. My appointment was at 10am- the place was packed and sounded like a flea market. 2. They gave me a dry cut before balayage. I requested 4 inches total. I was completely unaware that they will cut it again after balayage, no one mentioned it and I was left with a shorter length than expected. 3. They try to upsell me a treatment off the batch. They said that after balayage I'll need it for healthier hair. 4. Joe did the consultation and then left two individuals bleaching my hair. They were talking extremely loud, I felt that they were not paying attention to my hair. 5. I was left unattended BLEACHING for over 2hrs. Joe then came and gave the go for hair wash time. 6. The guy that washed my hair was wearing latex gloves and was pulling my hair. It was extremely uncomfortable and painful. I decided to not say anything, considering maybe he is protecting his hands. 7.Same guy brushed my hair! And I saw my hair breaking apart. Residuals of hairs in the comb as I watch him. Then I comb my hair through with my fingers and MORE hair just falls. At this moment, I panicked and was looking for the lady that also bleached my hair. NO ONE was paying attention to me. 8. I finally grasp her and asked why is my hair is falling and I needed to speak to Joe. Then she GASLIGHTS me and says that this is "NORMAL" with balayage. This just hit me in the spot because I've done tons of balayage and this is not normal! 9. I finally spoke to Joe and he claims it was the hair from the dry cut. And not to worry because I have healthy hair. 10. Not gonna lie, I was being very verbal that I think the two ladies next to me ALSO doing their balayage stared at me either thinking I was crazy or being scared. 10. My reaction was very normal after seeing hair falling out, and if you fucked up you say you'll fix it, not that is normal. I decided to calm down and give Joe a chance to "fix it". He then comb my hair, cut again and finished prettying me up. 11. I then felt bad because it wasn't that bad and he took a nice After photo. And gave me free shampoo:conditioner to try. I felt so bad that I also tipped 35% HOWEVER, I'm so disappointed and dissatisfied. The following days, my scalp was itchy and had dandruff. My hair is just shorter than I wanted and I have lots of split ends. My hair looks and feels like straw. They just damaged and over bleached and made me feel bad that I had a natural reaction. I did my hair on Sept 30, is now beginning of November and I can see the color has faded and I see my white hairs. I don't feel comfortable even giving them a second chance. They ruined my hair. read more

There's a reason why this place is highly recommended for Asian balayage and always packed. For $230 (before tip), this is the best bang for your buck in NYC for a balayage and haircut. The location is a bit of a trek (first time this far down in Brooklyn) but I think it's well worth it compared to other places in the city. Appointments are easy to make via text. I'm surprised they had appointments available a week out - I'm used to having to book months in advance for a popular place, but they were able to fit me in quickly before the holidays. Service is based on efficiency - there were people constantly coming in and out while I was getting my hair done. First, Joe will consult you on what you want. It's helpful to have some pictures from his IG page on what color you are looking for so he can formulate something based on your current hair color. I actually wanted to go more ashy grey, but since I previously dyed my hair back to black earlier this year, he said it wouldn't be realistic in one season (which I expected) and said we'll gradually work our way up. After the consultation, a staff member cut my hair. Afterwards, two other staff members foiled my hair. The foils were HEAVY but there's this hanging contraception from the ceiling that they clip the foils on to lighten the load on your head. Afterwards, another staff member washed and conditioned my hair before the first staff member finished styling my hair. I have to admit I wasn't expecting so many different people working on my hair at once, but the process worked like a well-oiled machine and I was out of the salon within 3 hours. Bring a book or a portable charger for your phone bc there's nothing really else to do while you are waiting for your hair to process. I'll definitely be back in the future and will recommend this place to friends! read more

Love this place. Reasonable price , the only place I went back to and id recommend , I love their system and seeing their team work. This is very unique I hope they never change anything about it. I took off one star bc I don't think he really understood my request according to the pics I showed him and I wanted a hair cut I didn't get. Maybe because it was not from their IG my pics were not good references. I still liked the results and Ill be coming back read more

Joe and his team are quick, efficient and no frills. They're all super nice and will communicate to you what you need, listen to your wants and are actively provisioning every stage. I haven't bleached my hair in over 2 years and decided to go for a more natural looking balayage. The entire process took around 3.5 hours which is amazing. I recommend looking on the salon's yelp or instagram to pull in reference pictures as Joe has a repository of Color recipes he's done and is more familiar with his own work for inspiration. It's not a fancy space but they get the job done and the price is unbeatable. Would definitely recommend others to try it out. They also offer hair treatment and perm services too! read more

DO NOT RECOMMEND! Their reviews and pictures are deceiving. I had a picture of exactly what I wanted, which seems quite common as it is balayage in different tones of brown. After a consultation with Joe, he said this is all filter and lighting, and it will not come out like this as everyone's natural hair color and bleach is different. I said I totally understand as long as you can do something similar. I specify that I do not want blonde, gold, orange or yellow. I decided to proceed with the dye, which was a huge mistake. First, it was not balayage because they bleach to my root so it looks like highlights. Then the color was totally off where it looks like they just bleached my hair and did not apply toner/color. The picture that they took under lighting looks nothing like that in person. It was terrible, so I ended up going to a different Nonstop Style in Manhattan to get it corrected. Picture 1 is what I asked for. Picture 2 was a selfie taken at the salon with natural light. Picture 3 was taken at the salon under professional light. Picture 4 was taken the next day after one wash. If color can wash off in one wash, it is bad quality. But, that is really the color I walked out with. Picture 5 was my hair done at Nonstop Salon. When I walked into the salon, the stylist said it is not balayage and it looks like he only bleached and did not apply toner. Their prices are great, but you get what you paid for. This is quantity over quality. They charged $250 for balayage and cut for my waist length hair. If you wish to do the hair treatment, it is an additional $75, which is $25 cheaper than most salons in the city. In the end, I ended up paying what a high end salon would charge me because I had to get it corrected. Joe is the stylish who does the consultant but he is not hands on with the dye. He has a bunch of staff that does the physical work like mixing the color and applying. read more

Decided to bring my partner here to do balayage hair. Before anything, I want to say that the hospitality here is great. Everybody here is professional and Joe did a great job explaining the entire process. He set realistic expectations and informed us on how to maintain the hair afterwards. The hair came out exactly as she wanted. The whole process took about 5 hours. Haircut, bleaching, hair dye, milbon deep repair treatment, and styling. We will be back in the near future, I'd highly recommend to anybody looking to get balayage hair done. read more
