Got my hair curled here a few years ago to see if they could do it for prom. The stylist touched my ear with the curling iron--ouch--and I was disappointed with the results immediately after (see attached photo). It looked better after a couple of days, but not a fan of needing a waiting period. It also cost $88 just for wash/dry and curls. The environment is pretty though! And they had a few different complimentary drink options. read more

One time my colorist at Salon Gio was not in and I went to another senior member of the staff. I had light brown hair and walked out with almost black hair. Before hand, I asked her if a card was on file with my color instructions, she said yes. Obviously not. Very unprofessional and unacceptable. An apology was not enough. read more

This place is great, my wife goes here often for deep pore cleaning facials and she loves it. She recently had a graduation party and many people who attended gave her Salon Gio gift certificates because they know how much she loves it there. The prices are average for the services they offer and the place is beautiful, i went there to buy a gift certificate and i had a quick look around and it's top quality. It does not look big from the outside but it's grand inside. I plan on getting a deep tissue massage from here soon. read more

A few months ago I went to a place on 86th street, I went there for years and the last time he botched my hair so bad. I left crying. My friend said let me take you to my place ( salon gio) . So I booked a consultation and I met Susan ( hair colorist). She was so busy that day but saw how upset I was that she wouldn't let me leave with out starting the process or fixing it. Just that first step she took made such a difference, I stopped wearing a hat. She was so wonderful and nice and legit made me stop crying. Then a few months later I needed a hair cut and used salon gio as well. I will never let any one other than Susan and Rebecca touch my hair ever again. If I could give this place a million stars I would. Every one is so nice and wonderful there !!! read more

Salon Gio & Day Spa - Left was the bad place on 86th street. The right was after only one session with Susan - Hair Salons Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I had Christina do some bayalage and at first I thought she knew what she was doing. She didn't check on me during my stay. She was on her phone when I first got there, while I was there and as I was walking out. Instead of the blonde it came out caramel and she said it will change as time goes on when I know for sure that it won't. I'm super unhappy. She literally was pulling my hair out as she was giving me a blow out. She was NOT friendly at all! I do not recommend her at this salon at all. Her husband is completely opposite. Very friendly and super social. It's unfortunate that I can't continue to go to him. She never asked me if I was happy or what I thought. It seemed like she couldn't wait to get me over and done with and had other things going on in her mind. Again, do not try this lady! read more

Please do not spend your money here, it really is not worth it. My boyfriend got a me a $150 gift card to get my hair and nails done here...The place is absolutely gorgeous and I appreciated being the only person there for my appointment which made me feel safe. However, despite of being the only person there the lady that did my hair seemed to be in a rush because she pulled at my hair, was done in 20 minutes (I have a lot of hair) and did not even bother to perfect the blow out. After this I was sent upstairs to get my nails done where the lady took one glance at my nails and said "we don't do acrylic" I was fine with this and asked if she could remove the 4 acrylic nails I had left, she denied and in a very nasty attitude said she had the next appointment in 20 minutes. I went to a salon that charged half the price and removed my acrylics is 5 minutes. I called the owner and he denied a refund since it was a gift card. I have $120 left and will not use it. Overall a very bad experience. read more

Love love love salon gio! I decided to dye my hair a little lighter blonde than it already is. Christina was my colorist and she did an awesome job! My hair was a brand new shade of blonde. Even though it was bleaching of the hair, my hair still looked healthy and didn't feel dried out. About a month after that I came to see Alex, who did a blow out on me. Today I went to get a hair cut done by Alex for the first time and for once a hair stylist took their time to help me make my side bangs perfect! I must say the salon is great. Very clean,helpful and nice. Highly recommend this salon read more

Christina listens and does fantastic color job subtle and natural just like I like time to go in and get color and hair cut two hours plus on Saturday morning your whole morning into afternoon at the salon Rebecca cuts hair nice enough The place is pretty and open clean pricey but worth it compared to others in the area who charge the same and they are small packed etc smell like perm and burnt hair read more

Been going here for over 15 years (to Tom actually - when he used to work for AF Bennett) He broke off and did his own thing and is quite good at it. The staff is always pleasant, they give appointment reminder calls the day before (which have helped me many times) and the decor is great. And about what the other person said about owners being incognito... umm, they are right out in the open, always greeting you! Tom is the one who cuts my hair! He has such a large client base that everyone who has been a regular knows he is the owner. Oh yeah, he throws awesome Christmas parties too. What salon do you know does that?! lol read more

Great service and atmosphere. The first time I went there, I was very impressed with how friendly everyone is. Anna was my colorist and she did a great job. I really appreciated her honesty and I will be seeing her in the next few weeks for highlights. Ally gave may an awesome haircut! I returned last week for my nieces wedding and had an updo and make up done by Rebeccanwho did any awesome job! They all will be seeing me again!!! I am very happy with the service and I highly recommend it. Anna Brooklyn, NY read more

Beautiful place. Staff is super friendly. The place is immaculate. I had an appointment and they took me a few minutes earlier I had the complete spa package. All services were more than what I expected. I will be returning for my hair next week. read more

I walked into the spa to get a gift certificate. The atmosphere seemed very nice upon entering, but when I waited for 10 minutes for the "girls" to finish their conversation I did an about face and walked out. They didn't even pay any attention my departure. They lost a neighborhood customer. They were unprofessional and looked at me like I had s--t on my face. Very very sad!!! Not business minded at all!! 2-2-2012 read more

Terrible place!! Never go pls if you care about your hair!!! I guess they were on a hurry because they only did color on the top of my head. You think I wouldn't realize it at some pint????? pls check out the pictures, you couldn't see at that moment this cheap thing they did on my hair. So I had to go next day to pay AGAIN in another salon to fix this mess! read more

I love Salon Gio! The staff is very friendly and provide a great environment. Alex is such a great stylist and Christina does wonderful color! Salon Gio is an elegant salon nearby in Brooklyn. You can really tell the staff takes pride in their work and business. I recommend coming here for any service: cut, color, massage, blowout, etc. read more

Salon gio is a good place to get your hair done. The only thing is that the prices are kind of high. It is clean with friendly staff members. I will be back! read more

The first time I went to Gio was to get highlights. She started the highlights about 1/4 inch off my scalp and didn't put nearly enough on my head, making it look very unnatural. I go in the next day to get it fixed and the stylist was telling me that she did a good job and it looked fine, but she'd put a few more highlights "for free". Then the desk girls ask me to tip the stylists, making my bill $230!!! Keep in mind, I have the same amount of hair as a 4 year old. As forgiving as I am, I decided to give this place another chance and I called in for a hair coloring and the desk girls quoted me on 65$. So I go in to get my hair done and the same hair stylist jacks up the price to $180 without doing anything I asked for! Then my hair came out looking like a raccoon's tail (reddish blonde and very light blonde patches) because she was working on 2 other customers and left the bleach on after the timer would go off without ever checking the color. Besides my hair looking very trashy, the stylist always seems to have a really bad attitude and a frown on. I seriously hate this place. The best part of this salon is the Russian lady that waxed my eyebrows once, she did a very good job and that's what that one star is for. If you want to get royally ripped off and look like a joke, this is the place to go. read more

I was a loyal Pilo Arts customer but met the owners and thought they were so nice I wanted to give their business a try. I get my hair cut by Ali and she does exactly what I ask, which is rare when you have long hair, stylists just want to chop the heck out of it. They will squeeze you in last minute. The salon is gorgeous and clean. I would've given 5 stars but I have only gotten my hair cut here and they offer so many other services that I cannot guarantee are as good as the cuts and blowouts...and sometimes the customer service slacks...hold time on phone, little slow with greeting, inconsistent level of friendliness. But overall, I love this place, the owners, the prices, the service...great hair, minus the attitude. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND giving this place a try. read more

Its great here! I've had my hair cut by Crystal and Antonella they're both AWESOME! Crystal did my hair trial for my wedding and Antonella did my mom's- can't wait to be there with my whole bridal party for my wedding in June! They're attentive and get you anything--wine, coffee, water, espresso. great place! read more

Best color, best cut and their prices are unbelievable for what you get! From start to finish the experience is exactly the way it should be. Appointments booked properly so no long wait, acknowledged from the moment you walk in even being offered a beverage. The stylists discuss and go over ideas with you. A great experience all around and when I go to pay I am always surprised at how good the prices are. My daughter loves it here too! read more

Yesterday was my first time at that place, and i loved it. They did an awesome haircut and service was very good, also i liked a design of that place, looked cozy and stylish. I would strongly recommend it to everybody. read more

I can honestly strongly recommend this salon for pedicures/manicures/brows; have been going here for years - consistent quality service with a smile ! great atmosphere and Alla is the BEST ! Also - Id say best blow outs Ive ever gotten in the 'hood .... hands down. 2 thumbs up read more

Alla is the best! Great service, friendly, and dependable. Does amazing work with Mani/pedi and waxing. Highly recommend!

The salon is clean, the staff is friendly and responsive. I highly recommend it. read more

Ask for Alla! She is the best manicurist in the world! I have been going to Alla for years and always a pleasant surprise! Nelya

I've also had massage's done by Mary Lou..she's awesome as well! Overall great place..you should definitely try it out! read more

Today is one of the worst experience as a bride to be. Three weeks ago I called a well known salon in Brooklyn and asked for price information on bridal hair and makeup trial. The salon rep said make up is $65 & hair is $65. I was excited but I needed to wait three weeks for the head stylist to return from her trip. I said fine. Today, I was ok with the make n hair. As I was about to book my whole party of ten ppl for the wedding day, they gave me my bill for $220. I was shocked. I told them I was quoted a different price. They asked the manager to come out. The manager asked me what's the problem with an annoyed expression. I told him the situation. He laugh n said that would never be the case, as they are not allow to quote price on the phone. Then he show me the list of price n said the rep most half given a starting price and you must have misunderstood, as if I didn't speak English. I replied, we are speaking the same language. Then, he was saying bridal up do starts at $70 according to his list and I asked him to look at my hair because it's a simple curl style, not a up do. Then he went all over the place and said this and that. He continue to say there is no way we will quote you that price for the head stylist. I explained again, what I was quoted and said I will have fired the girl that gave you the quote. He basically, implied it's my fault if the girl gets fire. It was unbelievable. He refused to even listen n just wanted to make me feel guilty for their error. They didn't care for Asian business. He basically force me to pay for something I didn't agree. You would think people in this industry will care for their customer, especially a bridal to be. I am disgusted with them. They should be ashamed of themselves. If you are Asian be aware of this place, they don't want your business!!! read more
