I have been a customer for over 11 years. Bella is the best stylist, a genius with scissors and excellent Colorist. I strongly recommend Studio Diva Salon and Spa. The staff is friendly and warm as well as Competent! I wouldn't go anywhere else. read more

I decided to call this place after noticing a sign advertising a special for a 60 min massage for only $48-in Brooklyn Heights?! I am a member of Massage Envy, and missed half of my appointment due to Uber Pool, and wanted a continuation. They took me immediately, and as their last appointment of the day! Irena from South Russia was wonderful, and has apparently been with the salon for 16 years, which, to me, says something! If they hold this price, I may cancel ME, which has a $40 addl surcharge in NYC! So, ME, is now $80 before tip! read more

Studio Diva Salon & Spa - Hair Salons Near Me - Brooklyn Heights, New York

See all

This place has good reviews, but we'll never know why. I bought my wife a Swedish massage and one European facial (2hrs) to help her recover after she ran the marathon. But booking has been a nightmare. They wouldn't take reservations over the phone or on the web, nor would they allow her to use the gift card on weekends, even though the fine print mentions nothing of the sort. The Fine Print Limit 1 per person for 3-pack option. Must activate by expiration date on voucher, 3-pack of services expire 90 days from activation date. Appointment required. Limit 1 per person, may buy 1 additional as gift(s). Limit 1 per visit. 24-hour cancellation notice required. Unless it's a walk in, i'd avoid this place like the plague. read more

I bought the Groupon for this salon because I live in the neighborhood, and decided to check it out on a day when my usual salon (Van Sickel, which is down the street) was booked up and I wanted a trim and a blowout before a friend's wedding. The staff was nice but seemed surprised that I was there at first, which was odd considering that I had an appointment. I wasn't looking for anything fancy with the cut itself, and the stylist (I don't know his name, but he and his identical twin both work there, so there's a 50/50 chance you got the one I'm talking about) did a fine job with the cut. But the blowout? Nope. Afterwards my hair looked like I had blow dried it myself, which is really not saying much! He put almost no product in it and just sort of fiddled with it for a while. By the time I got to the wedding it had completely fallen flat, and I ended up just putting my hair up halfway through the evening. So it's three stars for decent cut, not-so-decent blowout! I've never used their other services so can't comment on those. I probably won't go back. read more

Really very uneven haircut, with a weird short bit underneath, the guy just seemed to be making it up as he went along, and he didnt even look at my hair before it was washed to see what it was like. More the sort of place you go to when you are ten years old. The the price was a complete con, they advertise a price of $27 for a cut (maybe this price should have set alarm bells ringing in the first place) but they charge you $30 on top of that for blowdrying!! When I asked "Do you actually let people leave with wet hair?" the guy replied yes! Needless to say I wont be back! read more

Yesterday, I had easily the most horrifying experience at this salon. I just purchased a condo in Brooklyn Heights and while walking the neighborhood, stopped in Studio Diva to replenish my supply of Aveda conditioner. When I was ready to check out, the hair stylist asked me repeatedly if I was sure that I was purchasing only one item, and I repeatedly, and confusedly, responded in the affirmative. Apparently not satisfied, the hair stylist went to do an INVENTORY CHECK in front of everyone before ringing up my purchase. It was not till I paid that it clicked- the hair stylist thought that my sister and I stole from the salon. I should also mention I am Black. This was my first brush with overt and blatant racism. Color me lucky that it took this long for this to happen. But I am still disgusted enough that I know I am never patronizing this establishment and shall make sure that my network, as far as it can reach, shall not be patronizing this store EVER. read more

I had a Living Social deal for an hour massage & facial & both were Amazing. Nice venue, clean & intimate. Nila really knows her craft. She took her time & explained everything she did. She removed blackheads that had been embedded for years in my face with intricate care. My face was bright & glowing when she finished. The massage was the Best Everrr!! If I could have given a 10 I would have seriously.. I definitely will be treating myself every few months.. Lori read more

Got a Groupon for a $30 Brazilian. Not impressed. Irina was very nice & quick, & I wasn't really in pain, but I got home to find that more than a few spots were missed. Not too happy. The place was clean & the staff was nice, but I wouldn't go back. read more

Sadly the head guy at the desk is not a clear communicator.. Be wear when scheduling anything with him. (English is not obviously his first language). I walked in and told him a wanted a hair style done for a wedding. He was on the phone at the time and said sure, I asked how much and he said $35 dollars. Thinking, he understood what a hairstyle meant. I scheduled an appt. When I walked in the next day he was not there but another lady Helga I believe, helped me, she then said it was around $50 for a hairstyle and a blow dry was $35. I explained nicely that's not what I was told the day before, I never mentioned anything about a blow dry ever! I showed her a clear picture of what I wanted- I explained 2 or 3 time please make my bangs and curls look like the picture. she added 3 bang Curley things and didn't swoop my bangs like I specifically asked or what was was shown. I was on a time frame which I also clearly explained to her but, she did what she wanted. At the end of it all the original guy was there, but again on the phone when I was trying to speak with him and clear up the confusion when paying. He was rude, unaccommodating and lacked being a professional. Plus I'm just really unhappy with how my hair looked. I am quite unimpressed with this place and so not worth $50 bucks! read more

Love this salon. Absolutely love it. Seriously, get your hairr done there. It's awesome. It's only two blocks (max) from the Clark Street stop on the 2/3 train (first stop out of Manhattan), and they offer a full range of spa services for men and women. They did my hair (single process color, highlights, cut and blowdry for medium length hair) and the price stayed under $200. And they did an amazing job. I'm going back in two weeks for another session. They also have a manicurist, an aestethcian, plus a masseuse. And they have spa packages--buy several things and get a pretty hefty discount. Best of all though, it's small. The employees (I think there are only 6-8 at most) will know your name for your second appointment, treat you like a friend, and wave/smile the next time they see you on the street. Where in this city could you find anything better? Oh right, nowhere. read more

I am giving this Salon a 2 stars for their poor customer service. I bought a gift voucher for their Body Message at 2 separate occasions. Every times when the person who received the gift voucher went for the massage and ask for sport massage they insist that he has to pay $15 more. In their web site the price they advertised for the Swedish Massage is the same as the Sport massage; in addition that when I ask for the gift certificate I am not ask what kinds of massage you want, but always when the person present the gift certificate he is told oh this gift certificate was bought at a discount for the Swedish Massage. ( They should probably be reported for false advertising?) That is not limited to gift voucher, it applies to all their services including their hair cuts with Michael (the owner) as well.I recently find out he has been charging my neighbor that I referred to his salon 45 while charging me 52-56 and that is without blow drying and hers include blow dry. So go figure out. As I said, it is not the service, it's the uncertainty that has been a common practice at the salon read more

This salon is very warm and welcoming. David was my stylist today. He was so kind and attentive. He listened to my concerns and how I wanted my hair. The finished product is amazing and I am so very happy! Thank you David. The rest of the staff was very friendly as well. read more

I had my first appointment with Michael yesterday. Moving from a demi-perm to permanent color I wanted professional help, and Michael was great. After a consultation and reviewing a few photos, we decided on a base color and a style of highlights. The results are wonderful and I would recommend this salon. They use great products (Alfaparf for color) and did a really good job. read more

Booked a wax through Groupon. Making an appointment over the phone was easy. Once I got there, Irina was very nice, and did a decent job. I did have quite a few stray hairs the following day. I would recommend the experience if you can get it for a discount. Its not a service worth $60 or $70. read more

When my former salon in Manhattan closed, I decided to try someplace closer to home. At Diva, I found the supremely talented Esther. I have difficult hair, but Esther knows precisely how to cut and style it. She has also seen me through several color changes over the last few years and always does my color exactly the way I like, with subtle, natural-looking highlights and lowlights. Esther is without a doubt the best stylist and colorist I've ever been to. read more

I got a gift certificate to try Diva Salon and I was very pleased with the highlights and haircut I got. I've also gotten a massage from Nila which was great. The people are very nice, professional, the place is very clean and the prices are reasonable. read more

I moved to the neighborhood and I was recommended to Diva Hair Salon. What a find!! Very professional, great haircut and coloring. The staff is so polite and accommodating. I really recommend this neighborhood gem. read more

With my long, foiled-blonde hair and my precious attitude about it, I promise you I'm no dream client. That said, Michael, who has years of experience, does a wonderful job of the highlights & lowlights in my hair, and having now been there for multiple repeat visits, I've been consistently pleased to see how well the color grows out. Most people can't tell that my color has had a little help. I've also consistently seen other women leave the place with great 'dos, including some killer blowouts. Re haircuts, I'm torn. The cut always grows out REALLY well, but I find it's always shorter than I'd like and the style is always a little 'safer' than I'd like to play it. It's not the fanciest salon and amenities (of the tea, coffee, alcohol variety - compared to most Manhattan salons) are a little low, but the people are friendly and well worth a visit. read more

Found them on lifebooker - convenient location so i decided to give it a try. Had appointment for highlights. I was very very picky about the color that i wanted as i have a strong reddish pigment in my hair and wanted ashy blond highlights on light brown base and Michael got it right! The girl who washed my hair - loved it! i thought i am going to fall asleep in the chair how relaxing it was. I ended up coming back few days later for haircut. I get compliments about the color every day! Overall its a nice neighborhood hair salon with no attitude and very friendly staff. oh and they have special kids chair - so cute!!! never seen those before! read more

My hair looks nice and it's curly so it can be tricky. Though I admittedly don't ask too much of my hair dresser - make sure it's kind of even or whatever. I booked through lifebooker so I got a good deal on a $40 hair cut. Minus a star for me having to reiterate so many times that no means no when it comes to putting color in my hair even at "a really good price." Once should suffice. read more

Ester, the stylist, is fantastic. She listens to what you want and then executes it beautifully. She is very well liked by her customers and is extremely reliable. And in addition to cutting, coloring and styling hair, she also does excellent beard trimming! read more

Michael did a great job with my highlights and haircut! The highlights look so natural and he did a great job with the cut. Would definitely recommend for all Salon and spa services! read more

I had been coming to this salon a few times for just a trim but over the weekend went in for a drastic hair cut (my hair was quite long) and full head highlights. The process took a while, as expected, but they did all they could to keep me comfortable. I was nervous about coloring my hair but Michael did an amazing job. He got t exactly as I wanted it. I'm naturally blonde and just wanted to brighten things up for the winter. He was even patient with me as we cut my hair almost inch by inch to ensure I was ok with the shorter length. It was an incredible experience and definitely consider this salon as my regular place. Michael was amazing and the rest of the staff was so accommodating. Thank you!! read more

After reading the reviews on Yelp I decided to risk it and attempt my 6th visit to a salon within 2 months. I have fine, thin hair and have always wanted a pixie cut. I had been to 5 salons in Bay Ridge, nearly called out sick from work each time. From butchered cuts to orange/yellow coloring I was helpless and hopeless. I came across Studio Diva Salon on Yelp, a salon close to my office. When I walked in my first words were "help me" and right away Michael and his staff got to work. I had no appointment and looked like a train wreck and they all welcomed me with open arms. Michael toned down the awful highlighting job that instead gave me a brassy yellow/orange look as well as shaped up the my hair style to the actual photo I showed 5 hair stylists prior. No more Salon searching. Michael @ Studio Diva Salon will now and forever be my go-to. Thank you thank you thank you! read more

I've been going to Diva for many years and have never been disappointed. Michael always does a wonderful job. My friend also had her hair done by Bella and she was very happy with the results. The ladies who wash your hair are also great, they make me want to fall asleep as they wash my hair. Go here, you'll be happy you did. read more

Ester is an amazing hair magician beautician that gave me a gorgeous haircut and blowout. They do try to up sell you on everything, but for looking like this, I don't really care. Clean, affordable, and professional. read more

It was my first time going to this salon and I had a really great experience. Amazing cut and highlights. Friendly staff. Will definitely be coming back! read more

TERRIBLE! TERRIBLE! I wish i could give them 0 stars. I went to this shitty salon with my group-on with very high expectations. It looks clean and spacious from outside. The staff greets u well initially but later u realize that they were making a a fool out of you because they are money minded and all they do is a shitty job if you have a group on and visiting them for the first time. My group on included a cut, partial highlights and a blow dry for $79. I was really excited about the color as i was getting it done for the first time in my life. They kinda harassed me with their services as they hardly put any color on my hair. When i asked him why only 4-5 streaks, he told me that is what they do in partial highlighting.They charged me $10 dollars extra for the volume of my hair, $20 for the toner and $10 for the extra taxes which excludes $20 tip. I regret for even tipping this guy! Overall, they took $60 extra for my group on services which i was not informed about. They did not even have courtesy to entertain their costumer coming to the salon for the first time. David is the most terrible person i have ever met. He told me that he does not have any time to entertain me when i asked him about the extra taxes and prices for the extra services which were not required. I regret that i paid them in cash as I do not have any proof to give to Group on people or to post on social media. I have taken couple of group ons for my haircut before and never been asked for this much extra money. It was a very disappointing experience overall as i can hardly see any highlights and my haircut sucks! it is nowhere near to what i wanted and so uneven! I cried the whole day as i was expecting a lot from this salon. They just did 4-5 streaks on my hair. I would not recommend their services to anybody. The worst experience ever! read more

Michael did a beautiful color and hair cut, it was super fast also which I appreciate. Very professional, and everyone very nice and friendly... will defined go back. read more

Had a great haircut with Esther. If you have long hair and are looking for layers ask for her. She kept the length and gave me some much needed volume. read more

I have been going to Diva Salon for haircut/color for about a year now and really like the service and the salon. My stylist Ester has flawless technique and she is always striving to make me happy when I walk out the door - and always suceeds. She is a very good colorist and her cuts grow out well. The salon itself is a large and clean space with some bling in terms of the style. All the staff are helpful and very kind. Highly recommend for good service at a good price. read more

I purchased a groupon package for three massages or facials. Scheduled the first massage well in advance and took time away from work to make it to my appointment. When I arrived I was told the appointment had been cancelled because the therapist was no longer available. The man said he called to tell me but something occurred where he couldn't reach me. I asked what number he called and they somehow had it wrong. This is a human error, not a computer error. Because of their poor management of my reservation: I was out of work for no reason, wasted my time and resources to arrive across town for no reason, and now my time has been further wasted trying to get the refund I am owed. Avoid this business if you want a relaxing massage. The outcome was an unnecessary headache and several hours of my time wasted. read more

I purchased a Groupon for a haircut and color and went to this place not knowing what to expect. I'm absolutely thrilled with the end result! David was awesome- so fun to talk to and did exactly what I asked him to do with my hair. The color looks really great and the length is perfect. He added in some really nice layers. I'm so happy to have found a salon and stylist in BK! I'll be returning in a few weeks for a Keratin treatment. The prices are very reasonable and the salon is clean and comfortable. Overall, wonderful experience. read more

Called a few weeks ago to get a pricing estimate for a base bump. Was quoted $60-65 depending on the color/ hair. No problem - made an appointment for a few days later. Worked with Michael who was amazing. He got the color right, was quick, shampoo was great. He asked if I wanted a trim, I said no, not today. He said "ok just a dry then". Sounds good. Why three stars? When I was leaving, I was charged $105. I questioned it as I had specifically called and gotten a quote for a service. I was told that a blow out was $40. I never requested a blow out - a dry should be standard part of a color service. I will not be returning here, due to the fact that I was charged for unrequested services. read more

Amazing! My hair has never looked better!! Michael is amazing!!! Great prices and service!

Not a good place for ombre or balayage! Where to even begin... 1. In an effort to eventually find a new hairdresser after mine has moved away, I bough a Groupon and checked out this salon. Michael told me right off the bat that "he's only doing the upper part of my hair because the Groupon is for partial ombre, unless I wanna pay for full ombre." I asked him to do what the Groupon was for. His attitude was so unfriendly. 2. He asked me to Google what I want it to look like. Later, he asked me again to look up how light or dark do I want to ombre to be. It felt like he had never done it before. 3. When he was applying the color, two other people were hovering over my hear and all of them speaking Russian, like their client was invisible. Quite unprofessional. I felt like I was in their kitchen being experimented on. 4. He opened the door as it started raining and getting cold. When I told him I'm ok with partial blowout, he said:"It's too cold for wet hair." What about closing the door I'm sitting next to in my t-shirt? Long story short, it was such an unpleasant experience from the get-go I couldn't wait to get out of there. When Michael took out a round brush I told him I was fine with no blowout. I could already see that there was barely any ombre applied to my hair. I guess I got what I paid for. I certainly didn't find my new hairdresser today. read more

This place is absolutely fantastic. Sandy is an exceptionally skilled hairstylist and true professional. She has been my longtime stylist and I go to her frequently for cuts, color, blowdries, and extensions and she always gives me precisely the look I am seeking. Her blowdries give my flat hair tons of volume and shape. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE SANDY and highly recommend her. Nila is a fantastic massage therapist. Juliya at the front desk is also extremely helpful and accommodating. The entire team is talented and kind including Michael, Bella, Gula, Esther, Mario, Tanya, Chaba, and Kamilah. There is a sense of community and warmth here--hospitality without pretentiousness. I am delighted to support this awesome independently owned small business in the heart of Brooklyn Heights. read more

I only go to Ester as she knows how to cut my hair and color it properly (I don't want it too light). Been going here for 4+ years - can't beat the convenience of being around the corner. read more

My new go to spot for anything! The service I receive on any treatment is always outstanding. I have had the same stylist for over 10 years....I came in & told the owner EXACTLY what I wanted. In return, he gave me EXACTLY what I asked for! Experienced stylists. Super friendly & attentive staff. David gives amazing massages & Ludmila gives the greatest shampoo I have EVER HAD in my life. The prices are Also the most reasonable in all of Brooklyn Heights. Will be returning again soon for a facial! read more
