I just got the best haircut I've had in a long time here. They're friendly, affordable, and the real deal. Though I'm sure the other hairdressers there are great too, I highly recommend Anna. She took the time to talk to me, and see what haircut would be best for my hair type. She was also honest, and helped me find a way to add texture to my naturally straight hair. I also got to take a sample of hair product home with me to try. I highly recommend! read more

Where to begin! This is by far my perfect hair salon ever! Anna is my hair stylist since day one and I love everything about her ... She is very professional and make sure to achieve my vision. Everybody is so friendly and I do my wax too with Stella they using the Hard wax that I love. read more

I live in the area and decided to try out the salon for a simple blow out a couple years ago- Angela did an amazing job, so I went back several times for what they call the "Las Vegas Blowout." The salon itself is small and quaint and has a really cozy vibe. I get my hair highlighted (blonde) every couple of months and trek out to another borough to do so, so I decided to make an appointment with Angela to do my highlights and I'm so glad I did. She did an absolutely amazing job! The color is stunning and didn't take long either. I will definitely be back and the beauty is they are right around the corner from where I live. So glad that I have such a gem in my neighborhood! read more

After spending years with different hairstylists, I am very happy to say that I always leave the salon happy. Anna always matches the perfect service for exactly what I am looking for. read more

Everyone who works here is super friendly and welcoming! I have been seeing Stella for eyebrow threading and bikini wax for over 5 years. Shes a sweetheart and the best!!! She takes her time and makes sure you're comfortable. I am sooo picky about my eyebrows and I don't let anyone but Stella touch them! She's amazing at shaping them and makes sure she listens to your suggestions. A bonus is that she is great to talk to, personal stuff, beauty tips, anything! She gives great advice! read more

This salon is one of Brooklyn's best-kept secrets. It's small and tucked away on a quiet block, but I've consistently had great experiences and results with their Cezanne express treatments and trims/cuts, and the prices are very reasonable. The ladies are very friendly and total pros, esp. Angela! read more

Every time you come here you leave looking fantastic. Everyone is so nice. I needed a major color correction (why do I try to do things myself?) with highlights on some pretty damaged hair. My hair now looks fantastic, super natural. Just awesome. Very complicated color as I wanted to let my grey come in with cool highlights. Also lash lift and eyebrow lamination were fantastic. read more

I saw Angela and she was amazing! My hair was very damaged so I faced the reality of cutting and making it darker which was not a big deal as I had short hair most of my life. I showed her pictures of what I wanted as far as color goes. She explained everything as she was doing it and offered an honest opinion of what she thought would work. She was very attentive and made sure I was happy with the change. I found the price to be very reasonable compared to other places in New York. When all was said and done my hair was not damaged hardly at all. Definitely will be back! read more

Smart Hair Studio - Hair Salons Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

This is a great neighborhood hair salon. Much better value and service than any of the salons I've tried in park slope. I was so glad they reopened in June and felt totally safe when I went for a cut and color. Lots of covid precautions in place. read more

Just moved here and needed a place to get my eyebrows done. This place is pretty close to me I called Mande an appointment got in that day for an eyebrow threading. I have to say this is probably the best my eyebrows have ever looked! Clowns and friendly staff too! read more

At first I was scared to even cut my hair because I always had long hair but I got a haircut today here and I loved it even though it shorter then what I have usually. I barely ever went to salons and it was my first time here and I loved it. Now I know where to go for a good hair cut yay:). read more

I went there recently and was very happy! It was the first time that I tried this salon because I was looking for a nice hair style and Angela did a great job. I couldn't be happier. By the way, I used Yelp to find this salon because I was visiting from Florida. I'm leaving a review because that's how I found them. read more

a favorite place where I make hair, and face rejuvenation, a pleasant atmosphere and high professionalism. Angela is my favorite stylist who makes me not only beautiful but also happy. Thank you. read more

I've tried a few stylists since moving to South Slope in 2012 and think that Anna is just wonderful! She always knows what I'm talking about, even if my descriptions aren't that great when I tell her what I want. She has great suggestions and each one of my cuts has left me feeling more confident and so happy with my hair. After several awful experiences with some stylists in the past, I'm so happy I've found someone that I don't have to worry about and know will do a great job. Now that they've expanded their studio, it's even better! read more

Best salon I've ever been to, hands down. The staff is super friendly and talented, all the products are organic/green/thoughtfully chosen, and appointments are always an easy experience. Lots of covid precautions in place; I felt very safe in my summer 2020 appointment, and have always been able to trust the studio to be clean and safe. And eyebrow threading will never be better than with Stella. read more

Mediocre, at best; I had been aCan't recommend this place for men's haircuts--it's not their thing and most of the stylists suck at it. Poorly managed dye joint with shitty attitudes (perhaps to compensate for general incompetence?). You have much better options. read more

To say that I am IN LOVE is an understatement. For starters it was super easy to book an appointment online. Once I arrived the salon granted my appointment immediately. There was no wait time at all. I explained to woman exactly what color I wanted and how I wanted my highlights to look. She completed my look effortlessly and quickly. I was in and out in under three hours with a brand new color and shiny highlights. I want to stress how it was done CORRECTLY! I've been to numerous places where they damage your hair and/or completely ruin be highlights by just bleaching large chicks of hair. What a gem in the neighborhood! Will definitely be returning! read more

Tanya's a genius with color and an excellent listener. Stella will tame your eyebrows and really takes her time to shape them so they flatter your whole face. Ashley is excellent with tweens and teens--big sister vibe. Great team. read more

I moved here almost two years ago and discovered this place on Google because t is walking distance from my apartment. This is a gem of a place. Tanya always gives me amazing haircuts and she is a great listener. I think she is also part mindreader because she always reads me well and gives me the style I am looking for but can never quite put into words. Out of desperation when Tanya was completely booked up, I've tried other salons a few times in the Park Slope area only to be very disappointed. Smart Hair Studio definitely has a personal touch that other salons don't have. read more

I found this place through a local parenting message board. Tanya got some major raves, and I needed a haircut in the neighborhood, having finally accepted that I just can't manage to get into Manhattan to get a haircut anymore. The store--"studio" is the right name for it; there are two stations, one for Tanya and one for her partner Angela. The atmosphere is somewhat casual, but calm, warm, and overall just fun and energetic. Tanya took my haircut so seriously--each step of the process was discussed at length so that she could make sure I was on board with her plans. My hair is long, thick and curly, and she approached it with the calm confidence of a total professional. The cut she gave me is superb. Even at the end of the haircut after it was all dry, she showed me some different ways of pulling it up, and we decided to cut a few more pieces around my face because after saying I wanted to be able to have a ponytail, I was convinced that I could handle it, because she explained exactly how to deal with it at home. Also--Previously, I never understood why women like to chat with their hairdressers. I've never had a conversation longer than a few minutes with one--until Tanya. She is a really special person with a smart, sunny personality. I wish her and Angela every success with their new business! I'll be back! read more

I just got my hair cut here for the first time and I was so happy! The salon itself was cute, comfortable, and pleasant. Professional, but very welcoming. Ashley, who washed my hair, was super friendly and fun, and Angela, who cut it, was great. I came in without any real idea of what I wanted, because I'm clueless about this stuff, and she very helpfully (and non-judgmentally, which is hard to find in Manhattan!) walked me through the different opinions. We picked a pixie cut, which she did beautifully. Halfway through, she stopped and consulted me about how exactly I wanted my bangs. Awesome! Usually I feel like I'm in the way of the stylist; she made me feel comfortable and happy with the process. Love the cut, love the people, love the place. And the price was good, too! Definitely coming back. read more

It has taken me months to get to a place where I feel like I can write a fair review. I went in at the beginning of summer to lighten my very dark hair. Most of my hair was over saturated from a not great dye job I had received elsewhere during the winter and my roots were the mousey brown I was born with. I knew I needed help and carefully chose Smart Hair Studio. I immediately wrote them an email explaining my situation in detail and stating that I wanted to lighten and even my hair for the summer. I immediately got an appointment and was thrilled. When I arrived I was ushered over by my "color specialist" who actually was a junior stylist who hadn't even seen my email. When I mentioned my email the other girl on duty said "yeah, I saw it. You wrote a novel about your hair". So why didn't she show my 'novel" (actually a paragraph, this review is a novel) to the woman who would be attending me? Clearly the women attending me, the junior stylist, had no idea what she was doing. She asked the other stylist on duty for her opinion who walked over to me, looked at my hair for exactly 3 seconds and said "strip it" with so much disdain I should of walked out then and there. After that the other stylist stayed away while the junior stylist fried every inch of my head and turned my hair bright, ugly, brassy, orange. She kept trying to fix it and only made it worse and worse. She knew it was going wrong and the other person on staff only stood in the background making faces at the condition of my hair. When it was finally over 4+ hours later my hair was ruined, my scalp was burned and my confidence in hair professionals was gone. Worst of all, I was charged over $300. She knew my hair was ruined because she said to call her in a few days, like I would ever let her near me again! What I found most surprising was that she didn't call me. That is not the way to build a customer base. Like I said before, it has taken me months to be able to even write a review this nice. As I am typing I am getting upset just reliving it. At least 4 months later I can finally wear my hair down again. read more

Back in April, for reasons I shall keep between myself and those "in the know", I desperately needed a haircut and had to "cheat" on the hairdresser I've gone to for years (who also happened to be a great friend), so a friend suggested I make an appointment with Tanya @ Smart Hair Studio. Having gone to the same person for years, to say I was hesitant sliding into that chair was a very light way to describe what I was feeling but the moment I saw that smile, all my anxiety subsided. She managed to combine what I had in mind with what she had in mind for me in such a way that we were both very happy with the result. Normally, you "cheat" on your hairdresses once but for me, it became a clear point that I was looking for a new "relationship." So I came back in June, for a haircut and some highlights... And yesterday, I came back again... Oh and did I mention that I live in Philadelphia? Driving 1.5 hrs for a haircut can mean one of two things: 1. Smart Hair Studio rocks, or 2. I am a little nuts I say it's a bit of both :) read more

I took a chance on a new place close by my house due the good reviews. I got a cut from Angela. She was sweet, seemed sharp and bright and felt confident going into the cut. I told her what I wanted, which was a trim and to keep the length. I am still not sure what happened but I don't like the cut at all. So much so I had to go back for her to fix it. She focused the cut on the back and sides below my ears, so much so that where I had a full head of hair, I now have a very thinned out back and bottom. She used the sheering and razoring a lot, which on my thin hair, makes it look worse. The "length" is still there but it's so thin, that when I put it up in a pony tail today, instead of having a nice thick pony tail, it looks like a deer tail. Due to the thinned out bottom, the top looked like a mushroom. I have straighter hair on top and wavy hair on the bottom, which I warned her about, but it did not seem to change the way she cut my hair. When I went back for her to fix it, she was sweet and gracious, not charging me for it of course, but she sheered it more, so now I get these little wispy single strands of hair that get caught in my eye and mouth, because they are not surrounded by other pieces of hair. I felt that there wasn't really any attention paid to how each cut will affect how that piece of hair falls. Another red flag was when she styled it, she styled it the way she wanted it, (Pin straight) instead to doing it the way I normally do my hair (Big and wavy) so I was not able to see what it really looked like until I went home. She said she had to do it this way. They are sweet, kind there and I believe she wanted to give me what I wanted, but I felt like it was cut only how she learned how to cut it, with the skills not being strong and flexible enough to cut "out of the box" to meet the needs to a difficult head of hair. read more

Just had a cut, dye, eye-brow threading and color (and first for me) and manicure and I couldn't be happier with results. The owner and her staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating and they seemed to really care about making me happy and creating great results. I just moved into their neighborhood and I'm so happy I found a great salon in walking distance! read more

Got my eyebrows threaded and a facial yesterday by Stella, who was both professional and informative throughout the service. She took my appointment at very short notice, which I was grateful for. My eyebrows turned out exactly how I wanted, and she listened to my request to leave as much as hair as possible because I'm currently growing them out. As for the facial, I wish there had been more focus on extraction, because I had to do some myself once I got home after the service. The products used on me were good quality, but at the end of the day, I think it's a bit too expensive for what you get. read more

I made an appointment for Sunday to touch up my roots, basically to bleach them. The procedure itself is not the most pleasant one, with a burning sensation on your head for at least an hour and a half, of course I was aware that, but at least I was expecting to leave the salon satisfied with the results. When a walk-in customer came in for a haircut, I was abandoned at the far corner of the salon, with my scalp burning, and as a result my hair overbleached and fried. Why would you make appointments with only two hairstylists working, if you can not give your full attention to a customer. It is very unprofessional. In the end I was so upset that instead of complaining to the manager, I wanted to leave as soon as possible and never come back there. That experience completely ruined my day. If you are thinking of going there, think twice. I do not recommend this place to anyone. They are unprofessional and inattentive. read more

I walked-in yesterday hoping to get a quick trim. I never like my haircuts and tend to avoid pretentious salons but I was really happy with the outcome here. Junior stylist Ashley took me right away, listened to all my concerns and gave me the trim and shape that I needed. It's also a very relaxed atmosphere. Also, Ashley was just great and it was a major bonus that her "junior stylist" skills were impeccable yet the price was 20% cheaper for her services. I'd definitely return. read more

LOVED this salon. After several years of only being satisfied with my hairstylist, I decided to jump ship and give Smart Hair Studio a try. Tanya was fantastic. She listened to what I wanted, offered her expertise and together we came up with a brilliant color and style combination. I could not be more pleased and will definitely be returning! read more

Best salon for hair and nails in the neighborhood, hands down. Best of all, the owners will order more of what their customers want for nail color or hair color to ensure you keep coming back and getting the experience you want! I've been coming here for almost 4 years now. The staff make you feel very comfortable and give great tips too. read more

Really enjoyed my experience here! Tanya was very knowledgeable and my hair looks awesome.

Stella is amazing. She is really skilled at what she does and is extremely nice. I will definitely go back.

Went for color and cut. Usually I don't like going to new places but the reviews on yelp and the fact that they are so close to home convinced me to try them. My stylist was really nice but I felt like my color and cut was being rushed. Liked my color when I left but when I got home and washed and blow dried it myself I noticed the left side of my hair. (The part she started rushing on) looked like cheetah print. My haircut wasn't anything special. It looked pretty much the same as when I walked in. Went to Sally's a couple days later and bought a dark glaze to hide the cheetah print and tone down the brightness of my hair. Don't know why they didn't tone my hair. Paid 230+ for nothing special. Guess I will start trooping it back to manhattan to get my money's worth. My cousin went a couple weeks later and said she was also rushed went home with frizzy hair and didn't like the brightness in her hair either. I will be toning it for her this weekend. read more

I *love* Smart Hair Salon! I have long, wavy, frizzy, crazy hair and am very picky about who touches it. I was excited that a new salon opened up in my neighborhood (could this mean no more trekking to the city to get a haircut?), so I decided to check it out. I made an appointment for a trim. And that's exactly what I got - a trim. "Wow!", I thought. "She really listened!". A few months later, I made another appointment, this time for a cut - 1.5" off. For me, that's a lot because of the waves in my hair. And that's what Angela took off! AND she gave me styling advice for my upcoming wedding. I took her advice to a salon in the city that I'd already made an appt for and it was perfect. I have just made my third hair-cutting appointment here. Both Angela and Tanya are fantastic and so sweet!! Their prices are very good, too! read more

LOVE all the stylists at this hair salon. My husband, my four-year-old daughter with long hair, and me (very curly hair) all get our hair cuts here. Always pleasant, professional, and affordable! Highly recommended read more

I love Smart Hair Studio. Tanya and Ashley are amazing. I have been going regularly for 6 years. They do an amazing job with cut, color and highlights. I go at least every two months for color because I have a lot of grey that I want to cover up. I really like that they use safer, organic dyes. Everyone working at the salon is very nice and friendly and the atmosphere is pleasant. Their prices are very reasonable. I highly recommend them! read more

Mariana did a wonderful job with my haircut today! I am new to the area and happy to have found a great salon. Looking forward to going back soon! read more

I'm not big on getting my hair done and I was looking for a cut that wasn't going to break the bank. I had a great experience with Ashley and I will definitely return! read more

My second trip - this time the husband's reaction was "Very nice!" and "I like what they've done with your fringe!". If you do the maths it's seven months since I was last here which sounds bad until I point out that I wanted long easily tie up-able hair over the summer and the cut itself looked good enough as it was growing not to need titivating. So, they've extended the actual salon area which gives it a more airy, and frankly a more professional fee and Ashely gave my hair the same attention as last time with just the right amount of chat - she's got herself a regular, albeit infrequent, client in me. read more

Just had another GORGEOUS blow-out with Ashley!! LOVE IT! Perfect for New Year's Eve tonight. My husband and I have been going to Smart Hair Studio since they opened. Always great service (polite, knowledgeable, helpful and extremely competent)! I get my mani/pedi from Stella - awesome job, she knows her stuff. Ashley and Anna do my hair - both ladies are fantastic and never fail to make me look like a "rock star", lol. My husband gets his haircuts from Angela (the owner with Tanya) - she is the ONLY person (besides, me) who he will allow to touch his hair. Angela never disappoints, thank you! Tanya, the other owner, ALWAYS recommends the BEST products and adds an air of calm professionalism to this gem of a salon. Happy New Year ladies - you all are super awesome! read more
