My own hair was coming out of the braids, it looked like my hair was a few weeks old and I just finished getting my hair done. They have children running all over the place, and pregnant women braiding hair looking like they don't want to be there. AWKWARD! My stylist name was Lily, who was pregnant. She had to constantly take breaks and on top of that she kept on huffing and puffing while she was braiding my hair--making me feel really uncomfortable. Take my word for it, do not go here!

I decided to walk a block up and try them and I was not disappointed. Gladys washed my hair really good and was really lovely and sweet. From what I can tell base on what my mom has told me, it's very nice, and the owner is just as nice and does hair good too. They use good products and always is suggesting things for you to try for your hair. If you're getting a wash and set, go to Gladys.

I used to be a regular customer of Bougies. Dawn was my go to person. Last time I visited Bougies…read moreand I do mean the last time, Dawn f...ed up my hair. Not only did I leave with the color I asked for but after 3 hours I left with 3 different shades of blond hair! I feel that Bougies is now very expensive. $50.00 for a haircut is ridiculous. Also Dawn now only works on the weekends and her hair cutting expertise is not like I remember. She is rushed and haircuts are quick with no prescision. I believe in taking care of your good customers 100%

I've been coming to bougie for over 10 years. Dawn the owner…read morehas always done my hair or my daughters. I'm giving three stars because over the years there's been times I have been very happy with their work. But I just think when you feel taken advantage of it's time to leave. She does amazing updos! In November my daughter and I got updos. my daughter had clip on extensions put in and they curled them and put her tiara in for her sweet 16 party. I had a beautiful updo and Swirsky Crystal pins I brought in put in my hair. I was charged $140 for both in November and today I came back and had the exact thing done to my hair and my daughters hair again because we needed to do portrait shots but this time I was charged $184.00 When I told her I didn't pay that much last time she told me that basically I was wrong it was impossible that I didn't pay this much so I pulled up the invoice from my phone and showed her and she said well then you got your hair done for free because that's not what we charge. I definitely felt played and taken advantage of. Then another hairdresser was doing a Brazilian and she left the door of the salon wide open and it was 20° out. when I went to close it she came up and rudely told me "keep that door open" I'm doing a Brazilian and it smells. She then proceeded to continue to complain to the owner that it was too much of a hassle to do Brazilians and blah blah blah. Being charged $45 more I felt really taken advantage of and considering I've known the owner for 12 years I felt really bad. Her sign says updos were $65 and up I was charge $70 for an updo in November and this time she charged me close to 100 and charged my daughter 90 and told her she was giving us a better deal that it would cost 100 to do my daughters hair normally. I won't be coming back anymore and it's really unfortunate. But I'm sure they don't care who doesn't come back.

I explained to the beautician that I wanted a wash and set (which includes rollers and sitting under the drier). The beautician (didn't get her name but she's short with shoulder length blond brownish hair -you can't miss her) speeds through the wash with adding a bucket of water to each of my ears than actually washing my hair. Someone needs to train her how to wash hair and not ears. Anyway, after the ear wash I sit in her chair and she tells me that she has to wet blow my hair because it's getting late. I said no I don't want a wet blow because too much heat and blowing thins out your hair. I asked for rollers and to sit under the dryer. She then catches an attitude and says "ok I'm going to put big rollers because we're about to close". I then said to her if you knew when I walked in at 6pm that you would not be able to provide the service I requested you should have said so and I would have taken my business else where. Don't agree to it just to get the money then switch it up last minute just because you're about to close. It doesn't work that way! I waked in at 6pm, you said your last customer is at 6:30pm. That gives you ample time to properly wash my hair and put in appropriate size rollers and sit me under the dryer! The worst service ever! I'm a full price paying customer. I should get exactly what I'm paying for. There are too many Dominican salons in Brooklyn to put up with BS like this!!!!!! Learn how to do business!
