    Coffee table book had me all the way occupied in  their waiting area
    Marie D.

    Took my daughter here for her first silk press because she was dying to see how long her hair was. Right off the bat scheduling was easy because of their online booking system. All prices are quoted on the site and if there are gonna be up charges after they see your hair they speak to you privately and make sure you approve before proceeding with the service. By appointment only and they mean it. We booked for an 11am on Saturday and the shop called us a couple days before to move us up to 9. We got there right on time. One of the hosts was already there opening up and offered us fancy tea while we waited. (I'm a sucker for some fancy tea y'all). They even had the little agave sticks and assorted sweeteners to appeal to different tastes. The hostess started taking my daughter's twists down while we waited for her stylist (Princess) *note: take downs are extra so if bringing your little one, make sure to take down and detangle a bit before you arrive. Once she was washed another stylist did her blow out. Of course my girl needed a trim because it has been ages since she got one at home and because she's 100% natural, Princess cut her hair in long layers so she wouldn't lose all of her length. Princess made sure to talk to my daughter the whole time and let her know what she was doing. It was also great because we got some good consultation about ongoing care while we were there. All in, we were done in 2 hours and my daughter was able to get all of Princess ' attention. My son and I sat in their waiting area sipping tea and reading their dope collection of unapologetically Black coffee table books. Love this place. Sad I found it just as we're moving out of Brooklyn. Will make a point to get me and my daughter's hair done here any time we are planning to visit..

    I am just too pleased with HBR!! I am a spiritual priest and it is very important to be mindful of who touches my head. My stylist was absolutely amazing and accommodating to my specific needs. The atmosphere is gorgeous, clean, and welcoming. It had been two years since I tended to my hair and she was very understanding, patient, and informative of how I can continue to take care of my hair. I didn't know much but once I left, I felt heard, seen, understood, and informed. HBR is amazing and I don't see myself going anywhere else!!

    This is my second time getting my hair done by Marie with Hair by Rae and I cannot thank them enough! I needed a last minute Sunday appointment for an upcoming trip and Rae and her team moved a couple of appointments around to get me in. Marie even worked on her day off! I truly appreciate how fast and professional this service is and it is a huge plus that they travel to your home. For my service, the hair was included and Marie came prepared and worked non-stop, but checked on me throughout to make sure I liked the length, color and style of the braid she was going. This definitely won't be my last time booking with Hair by Rae and encourage everyone else to do so. Thank you again for such a wonderful experience!

    I'm happily extoling the virtues of Hair by RAE: The last time I had box braids was October of 1994 (ask me how I remember). But the whole process of getting them and taking them out was so tedious. And I'd tried throughout the years to get to the point where I'd find myself doing it again. But between finding someone I trust who wouldn't go too tight, wouldn't charge me an arm and a leg, was available enough to work with my schedule and of course working through the aesthetics of some of these shops (you KNOW what I mean)... I was pretty convinced that I'd never be on trend again with braids of any kind. Till I found Hair By RAE (while googling to find solutions after another horrific experience trying to get my hair braided.) You can schedule and pay for it online. The price was SUPER reasonable (i would have paid more from most of the quotes I'd gotten from brick and mortar shops), THEY COME TO YOUR HOUSE (Or wherever you are - hotel, office whatever), This entire head of hair took 4.5 hours to install. The technician (Marie) was WONDERFUL, sweet, professional, organized, we got our political talk on while watching MSNBC and? IT's BEAUTIFUL and comfortable!!! There is NO QUESTION I'll be using them again. They have my unequivocal stamp of approval! THANK YOU HAIR BY RAE!!! I feel beautiful!

    I love my braids (jumbo box braids) by Marie. This is my first time using a mobile salon and it was great. Marie is so sweet & efficient, and my braids look great! Especially compared to the average braiding salon, I'll definitely be coming back to Hair by Rae

I was offered a beverage, welcomed warmly and midway through my wash decided to get a full silk press. I am in the process of growing my hair and preserving my curl pattern and communicated this ad nauseam and felt understood and heard. Acknowledging that I switched up a bit during the process, the team quickly pivoted. The owner stepped in to rewash my hair, another stepped in for a trim and Jammie pressed my hair TO THE GODS! The silk press: This was the silkiest and most bone straight silk press I've ever gotten. My hair was shiny, smelled great, and was super light and airy. I generally struggle to keep a silk press more than a week, this silk press lasted a full month. I was quite weary over time that my hair would not revert back. It was just too straight! Got my silk press on 11/7 and washed my hair on 12/8 and my curls immediately reverted back with minimal heat damage! I will definitely be returning again and of course encourage folks to be wary with any heat services but would recommend Sew!

As a business owner I think taking constructive criticism is vital and normal for the business to improve and not for the owner to bash a client who chooses to write a negative review on yelp for their service that they were not happy with. I also feel it's unprofessional to throw the race card in and say that it's truly sad what my black people do. Shawanda if I were not black and was another race you would have not made this statement. This has nothing to do with race, tearing each other down, or exploiting the business on yelp, it has something to do with the quality of service that I received that was it nothing personal or deep about it. I think my review was pretty fair, mild, and honest and I should be able to write if I received poor service without underlying tone in responses back from the owner. So should anyone else. Shawanda I hope you reconsider carefully how you respond to negative reviews about your establishment. It's only for improvement. I tried to contact the salon via email with the same pictures I have on yelp of my burnt hair way before I wrote the review but no one ever responded.

But what makes me unwilling to ever go back, was how the payment process went. After I got the haircut, I went to the register. Instead of handing me the credit card device (think it's referred to as "toast" because that's the company that makes them), the woman held it away from me, and into an alcove where I couldn't reach it. She asked if I wanted to leave a tip, which of course I wanted to, but without handing me the device, she held her hand over 25% and asked rhetorically "25%? " I have to say, I've never been in that kind of situation before. That kind of high-pressure tactic was deeply unpleasant, and enough to alert people not to go to that salon, or at the very least, before you get to the register, make it clear you intend to have the device put in your hand.

They have a curated menu of beverages to choose from to start your experience, including shots, which was so fun. I started off with a mimosa and ended with 1942 shots. I absolutely adored my Russian mani and Russian (smart) pedi!! The attention to detail was certainly unmatched and my nails and toes were perfect. My feet were the softest they have ever been after a pedicure, and the device they used to shave the dead skin was so gentle that I was not uncomfortable or ticklish at all. The bathroom was also super cute, luxurious and most importantly, clean! There were just two big things that I was not totally satisfied with. I love French on my toes, but they didn't have the greatest selection of base or natural colors to complement my skin tone for the pedicure. The saloon has their own brand of gel, so the range was not there. I ended up with a color that was too light for my complexion, but it was the best option for me at the time. They do help you choose the colors you want, and have a great eye for color matching if you have a picture. I believe it was more about accessibility to the right colors. The second issue was my manicure and pedicure did not last as long as I would have liked. The pedicure started to peel from the cuticle after the first week. I have been getting gel, French pedicures for years and I've been able to make them stretch for at least 4 weeks, so I don't think it was an issue of my personal maintenance. My nails lasted about 2 weeks before they started to experience the same issue. I was so sad, because I truly loved my experience at this saloon, but for the price, I can't justify my services not lasting at least 3 weeks. I would still recommend this place just to try. This was a one time experience for me, and I would be willing to go back again, but I wanted to shop around other saloons first.
