I barely leave reviews but I feel this time is necessary. I visited 718-Myrtle salon yesterday to get a bob haircut for my birthday. Juan, a hairstylist level II, told me confidently that he knew how to do bob haircuts. Before he did my hair, I showed him some pictures of the bob cut I wanted. A bob is a rather complex haircut that uses various tools to create a 45-degree angle from the nape of the neck. Unfortunately, Juan did a terrible job. The haircut he performed looks extremely sloppy and uneven; very poorly done. I had to ask him to stop cutting my hair because it was obvious to me that he did not know the technique to do this type of haircut at all! Juan even had the nerve to recommend that I visit Hair & Co BKLYN to fix the haircut he did! I was not charged for the "haircut" for obvious reasons. I doubt this haircut can be fixed. I am very upset and disappointed with 718-Myrtle salon. Based on the "bob" haircut Juan attempted to do for me, I really doubt he ever graduated as a hairstylist. Do not trust on the five start reviews given to this hair salon. read more

I had such a great experience here. I received a free haircut here as part of a promotion but at no point did they make me feel any less than a paying customer. The staff pleasantly booked (then re-booked!) me with one of their more experienced stylists, Drew. Drew was friendly, professional, and gave me a great cut. I definitely recommend this place! read more

Salon 718 - Myrtle Ave - Hair Salons Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

This was my first time going to the salon. I live in the neighborhood and have never been. After a terrible experience at a salon in Williamsburg, I was nervous about trying a new salon altogether. I saw Juan at the Clinton Hill location and loved every minute of the service. My favorite part was the hair wash. He massaged my scalp in all the right places lol. The service was quick too. As long as Juan is there, I will be a repeat client of Salon 718. read more

Salon 718 has exemplary service. I've been there 3 times (cut/color, up-do and blowout) to see Michela and I love the result every time. She really listens to what I want and executes flawlessly every time. She's the first person I fully trust with my hair and she is able to cut for curly and straight hair, which is exactly what I've always searched for. She's also honest and will tell me if I don't really need a service done. She really cares about her clientele. Additionally, the entire staff is polite, professional and considerate so the entire experience is enjoyable. read more

Aida was a terrific stylist. Friendly, efficient, and gave me a great cut. I appreciated the salon working me in quickly at the last minute too. read more

I've been going to 718 for nearly a year and Irving has always done a great job with my difficult hair. The service from everyone there has been friendly and professional. After trying out a lot of places and stylists since I moved to NYC several years ago, 718 feels the most like home, and I'll continue going to Irving for his skill and warm hospitality. Highly recommend. read more

The absolute best! Use Kerastase products. Always leave feeling refreshed and beautiful. Thank you Drew. read more

Salon 718 - Myrtle Ave - Hair Salons Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I had a great experience at Salon 718. From the salon decor to my hairstylist, everything was impeccable and welcoming. Irving was really personable and had a lot of passion for hair. I tend to get bored with the long layers haircut my longish thinner hair needs, and he was able to bring a new style to my hair while still adding volume. I was impressed with the inventive ideas he had with my little input, while still making sure I was comfortable with the changes. My cut was really a great experience and I would definitely suggest visiting this location. read more

Worst blow dry ever. Looks in professional and as if was made by a child. Not sure about the name of the stylist. She was short and petit. Very young. Will not go back. Pricy too read more

Go ask for Johnathan! He is amazing and so patient. I am a very picky person and can be annoying to get the look that I want. Johnathan, the stylist was so wonderfully patient with me and worked with me over 2(!) different appointments to get my hair exactly how I wanted. The first appointment I left happy and satisfied after an AMAZING new color and cut. (Johnathan REALLY knows his way around colors let me tell you!) However, after a day or two, I realized that I actually wanted it shorter, and Salon 718 booked a complimentary appointment for me to have Johnathan adjust it to be absolutely perfect. The salon is not the cheapest around, but it's absolutely worth it. Professional, on time, friendly, and extremely talented. You will not be disappointed if you leave your hair and look in their very capable hands. read more

Silky Smooth with a side of Heat damage on very healthy natural hair. I was happy to return to Salon 718 because I know stylists are trained by the owner to keep integrity in their work. However, I came across and stylist who gave me a blow out that was so hot and smokey that I already knew damage was done. Although heat protectant was used, I just knew this stylist was in a rush to get me out of her chair. Next she proceeded to flat iron my hair. Running over one section about 4 to 5 times. Another no-no with natural hair, there was no need for that especially with 75% of the job done by the HOT as HELL Blow Dryer. Not to mention, i let the stylist know I have an itchy dry scalp and her reply was "next time try out scalp treatment" instead of trying to fit it in my current wash. Will not return. I always felt as if this place didnt really like catering to my kind/my texture of hair and now I have even more clarity about that along w some pretty permanently straight strands. Thanks read more

Came here to cut my hair for locks of love. I went from super long hair to short- Kai was amazing and walked me through the entire process. I love my new hair! read more

Finally a first class salon in Fort Greene Brooklyn! It's just what I needed to find a colorist near to my daughters college her name is Karina. She is excellent. ! I've traveled from West coast CA to East coast NY NJ and this salon is one of the best I have experienced...its clean the staff is friendly a beautiful salon that welcomes you and offers great customer service. They accommodated and worked with my sensitivity...I color my hair -tints every three weeks-I like that they offer incentives if you book your appointment for your next color tint, before you leave. I love Karina and Irving both of them are truly the best hair professionals. I am recommending this salon to all my daughters friends who attend Pratt... They don't have to go into NYC when 718 Salon is right here on Myrtle its " Outstanding" You won't be disappointed. read more

What more can I say , Liv can slay some hair! I wasn't sure about about getting itip microlinks but she reassured me using the braidless method would make my hair look thicker and the length would blend perfectly, it sure did ! I loved the results I received so many compliments. My boyfriend ( whom does not like extensions) even liked it and keeps asking when will I have it installed again. If your thinking about getting itips Liv is your girl. read more

I love going to Salon 718. I tend to go once every 3 months for a trim and root touch up or whenever I have a special event to attend. I am always treated with outstanding customer service. Upon my arrival I am greeted by a friendly receptionist/host, offered a hot or chilled beverage and usually seen right away. My stylist Kai is AMAZING. At times I can be a bit indecisive or simply unaware of what hairstyles bring out my features, but she has been a great help with this. She's extremely patient and kind. She is also very informative on how to take care of your hair. (I was transitioning from a relaxer to natural- now I am fully natural :) ) This is truly the best results I have EVER seen with my hair. Thank you so much Salon 718! read more

Got a great haircut from Faith. She was sweet, gave the BEST scalp massage, and took just the right amount off. My hair looks great and feels much healthier. And the price was very reasonable too! read more

I had the most pleasurable experience with Irving. I came in feeling pretty hopeless about spending anything under $200 to fix a dye job gone horribly wrong. Irving heard me out and after we had a good laugh at my faux pas with home hair coloring he came up with a solution that didn't totally drain my funds. The end result in love with my cut and color after years of searching for a stylist I have definitely found the one, will definitely be coming back. read more

Irving is amazing! I'm a hair color virgin but was feeling very blah as a new mom. I gave him "free reign" and he literally transformed me with balayage, a cut and a deep conditioning treatment. My hair has NEVER looked this beautiful and the result was very natural. In addition, the entire staff there was friendly and fun. Everyone chatting, great music playing and no snotty attitudes like you dj s at some salons. I will most definitely be back. read more

Salon 718 - Myrtle Ave - Irving was amazing!! He totally transformed me from blah to beautiful with a cut and balayage. Will Def be back! - Hair Salons Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I went to the same salon in NYC for a long time and realized I wasn't happy there anymore, I remembered my friend started at Salon 718 so I went and got the best haircut from Drew now I just got tape in extensions and LOVE them so natural easy to care for Drew did them as well and I couldn't be happier. read more

I have never been more pleased with a salon experience. Every single employee is so friendly, and Irving is positively charming. My hair has a lot of damage, and we made a plan to address the issue moving forward and he gave me a phenomenal cut that saved much more length than I though possible. Not to mention one of the best scalp massage/hair washes EVER. He even took time at the end to give me a beautiful style. I left feeling so spoiled, it was such a treat. He made me look like a celebrity! Went to a wedding after and have never received so many compliments. Can't wait to go back! read more

there is not much to say really. they did such an amazing job, I can't stop looking in the mirror. I've found the best hair stylist in town :) thank you guys, you have a customer for life! read more

I've been looking for a salon in my neighborhood for quite some time now. I've been wanting to try 718Salon and finally made my appointment with Kai. This was my first time. I have natural curly hair. She was so sweet and great to work with! I showed her the cut I wanted , she listened and delivered. She explained everything she was doing. She also didn't try to sell me on anything extra, which I hate. I really dislike going to a salon and paying 3 times as much when I'm only interested in one service. I felt welcomed and will definitely be going back to do my hair with her again. The adhered to all of the Covid regulations to keep folks safe. read more

I came in very apprehensive because I was planning on doing something drastically different. I had pictures on hand of what I wanted, with realistic expectations. Kai understood everything I wanted and was feeling throughout the entire process. She gave helpful feedback and tips. She was personable, professional and exceeded my expectations. I also love how everyone in the salon works together to benefit the client. read more

Do not go here. Came here to get my blonde hair darkened to my natural brown, and I got a disgusting burgundy red. It looked like I had a wig on. Came back again to get it fixed, a new stylist didn't do anything, and finally I came back a third time and a third stylist kind of fixed my hair. I am still really not happy with it, and they charged me for adding highlights to my hair when in reality she was just fixing what the salon originally messed up. Aside from seeing the three stylists who worked on my color, I also got my hair cut. I wear a short bob. I got a mini mullet. It was shorter in the front than in the back and essentially looked like I had a Darth Vader helmet. All of the stylists except two I saw were extremely rude and not polite in anyway. Go to Hair & Co BKLYN. They're right down the street, a million times better at hair, and so kind and sweet! Don't waste your time here 2 Stars only for Sunshine - the third stylist I saw. She was kind. read more

Such a friendly inviting atmosphere, they couldn't be nicer. Drew has been my hair stylist for over 20 years. I have followed him from Long Island to soho to Florida and now Brooklyn. He is that amazing!!!! The most talented stylist you will have the pleasure of cutting your hair. read more

Irving has been my stylist for four years. Even though I don't live anywhere near any of the Salon 718 locations anymore, I still travel to have my hair cut by him. Thanks to him, my hair always feels lush and full, but he has outdone himself with the new calligraphy technique. I'm honestly astounded by how soft and fresh my hair feels even a month after my last cut, through traveling and without adding extra product. Thank you, Irving, as always!! read more

Salon 718 has gained client for life!!! Service is absolutely amazing and they really go out of their way to make sure you are comfortable and relaxed. Irving is the one who made me being bold enough to cut my hair way shorter than I planned before but let me tell you... LIFE CHANGER decision read more

This is was my first time here, and my daughter and I went to get a haircut. We chose Drew, while we read very promising reviews! They were right! Drew is a fantastic styler! He was very accommodating and gave us the style we were looking for. We also had a pleasant time with him. We definitely recommend him! read more

Irving did a fantastic job with my hair and I am very happy! Will be returning for some color too :)

It's difficult to find a new hairdresser but if this review helps you then I cannot recommend this salon and the wonderful Irving Rocha highly enough. Like you I was reading reviews on Yelp and this salon was near me, was in my price range and had an appointment when I was looking for one and I wont be going anywhere else again. Irving is a color genius, he was very upfront about what needed to be done and what was best for my hair - all in all I was in the salon for hours but it never felt like it and i LOVE the result, I've already booked my next appointment there and will not be trusting my hair to anyone else for the foreseeable future read more

I wanted to look great for my birthday and I couldn't think of going anywhere else but to salon 718 to get the perfect style, Irving made my day and I was so satisfied by his work, he also makes you feel very confortable, he is so fun and if you really want to look great come to see Irving read more

Irving is a magician. He is the only one who is able to cut my hair the way it should look. I have one of the worst cowlicks and stylist after style, cannot contain or deal, except for Irving. I see him both at the Vanderbilt and mrytle ave location. Highly recommended not only for his professionalism, but his passion for making you look good. On top of it all he's a great person who cares about you. read more

Irving cuts my hair and he's absolutely fantastic! I have a great time talking to him every time I'm there. Like many a dude, I keep my hair very short so until I started coming to see him, I never really care too much about how it was cut. But Irving actually does such a fantastic job -- I'll never go anyplace else. Everyone who works there always remembers your name. They're nice, they're funny, they're real people and totally direct about what you're looking for. Oh, and they give a scalp massage. read more

Last week I went to Salon 718 on Myrtle for the very first time. I had previously made an appointment with Kai to come in on Thursday afternoon. I came in very unsure about what direction I wanted to go in. My stylist Kai was so very patient and helpful. She did a full consultation with me. We not only discussed what I wanted to have done that day but we also discussed a healthy hair journey moving forward. Prior, during and after styling she explained every step of the process and how each step would help me achieve the look I wanted. I was also made very comfortable during my visit, the salon played relaxing music, I was offered wine upon my arrival as well as my jacket taken to be hung up. It was truly an upscale professional experience. I would highly recommend this Salon and more specifically Kai. She is a wonderful and talented stylist who will give you the professional, courteous and well executed service you are looking for. I am in love with my hair cut and color. Specifically the color looks so natural and rich. The very best products were used and I could not be more happy. I also love my new hair cut which perfectly frames my face. I would highly recommend this salon. read more

After moving to Brooklyn from California, I was in in dyer need of a good haircut. After many failed attempts at trying to find a decent stylist, I stumbled upon salon 718 where I met my hair styling knight in shining armor Jonathan. Jonathan was able to understand exactly what I wanted and offered the best advice to see that I got the style I was seeking. I have been loyal to Jonathan for over a year now and as long as I live in NYC I will never see another stylist! Salon 718 not only offers great stylist, but the customer service is beyond exceptional. They provide a full on experience, from beverages to a relaxing wash, condition and scalp massage. Salon 718 also provided a huge variety of amazing products! You will defiantly leave feeling brand new. read more

Karina is the best!!! Amazing color, perfect cut and the salon is clean and beautiful. Never going anywhere else

Love it love it!!! If u want pamper yourself this is the place to come :) Irving is amazing and sweetheart, I came here for a balayage and I had a Japanese straight treatment previously so Irving made sure that my hair didn't brake and the color came out perfect , he also cut my hair and I'm definitely coming back again. Everybody is really friendly, thank you guys. read more

Wow, I don't know where to begin, so let's start with Irving!! I wandered into this location last October. I was in desperate need of a hairstyle change- my hair was long and drab after the summer months. After chatting with the receptionist (so lovely but I can't remember her name) I was introduced to Irving, he made me feel so comfortable in the chair and I felt instantly reassured that I was in good hands. He suggested a shorter cut with layers and wanted to do some highlights. I was nervous at first as I have had not so great experiences in the past but he did the BEST JOB EVER!! I can't tell you how fabulous I felt when he was done. I have jumped from salon to salon in the past but I am now a loyal Salon 718 patron. It is clean, efficient, and has a great atmosphere. I have gone back to see Irving several times since, including for an updo for a wedding! Again, he nailed it. I cannot recommend this place enough!!! read more

If you want a wonderful, personal experience with a stylist that pays attention to what you want -- see Irving. He is an amazing, friendly artist and probably the best stylist I've ever had (and I used to live in the LA and SF areas). Our conversations are always both deep and hilarious. The entire staff is warm and friendly, and I'm sure the other stylists are super skilled. It's just a great time -- go there! read more

LOVE THIS PLACE! My hairdresser is Irving. I used to go with Michaela (the owner) but this location was more convenient for me so I decided to try with Irving. The best decision ever! He is not just good at styling hair and giving the best haircut, he is also very friendly. Also, I'm korean, not everyone that is not Asian knows how to cut this type of hair. Irving has zero problem with that. I recommend him to every one of my friends. The price may seem a little bit high, but it is just so worth it. I promise! read more
