Best Hair Salons in Brooklyn, NY

What Services Show Up Here

We don't have a borough-wide breakdown of which specific services — cuts, color, texture work, extensions, blowouts — are most common among Brooklyn's 16 listed salons. What we do have is each salon's own service tags, shown on the cards below. A tag means that salon offers the service, not that it's their specialty, so use it to build a shortlist rather than a final answer.

If you're after something specific — a curly cut, a color correction, a keratin treatment — scan the tags first, then call or check the salon's booking page to confirm they handle exactly what you need and have room on the calendar. Tags tell you the work happens there; they don't tell you how it turns out, so pair them with the ratings and booking details covered next.

Booking and Ratings at a Glance

Booking is the strong point of this list: 88% of Brooklyn's 16 salons have an online booking option attached to their listing, so for most of them you can skip the back-and-forth and grab a slot directly. That matters in a borough where good appointment times fill up.

Ratings tell a different story. Only about 19% of listings here currently carry a public rating, so don't read a missing star rating as a red flag — it usually just means no rating has been logged yet, not that anything's wrong. Among the salons that do have one, the average sits at 3.93 stars. Treat any individual rating as an early read rather than a verdict, and weigh it alongside how many reviews back it up.

How to Use This Directory

Start with the zip code or part of Brooklyn you're actually willing to travel to — the salons in this list span the borough, and one a few zip codes over may not be worth the trip for a routine trim. From there, use the booking link where one exists; with 88% of listings offering it, that's usually the fastest way in.

For salons without a booking link, call ahead — that's also your chance to confirm they do the specific service you're after, since tags mark that a service happens there, not that it's a specialty. Check both the star rating and the number of reviews behind it before you decide: a high rating built on just a few reviews and a listing with no rating yet are two different kinds of unknown, and this directory is built so you can weigh both instead of guessing.
