SALON LOLA,

1092 Nostrand Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11225

"I love this salon! I just relocated to Brooklyn and Lola matched my hair color perfectly. The space is adorable and the staff is friendly."

"I had a pretty poor experience here. I went in asking for a simple trim (showed reference picture), and spent nearly 4 hours doing extra styling that I did not agree to, including a 2 hour thermal press. I asked her to please stop and she said she “had to continue.” When I confronted her about doing unnecessary services, she made me feel like it was my fault for having too much hair. Not to mention the end result looked nothing like my reference photo. Would not trust again."

"Great service, always leave satisfied! I went to the salon several times for an evening hair and makeup. I leave pleased everytime, making my vision come to reality always. The workers are all kind, have great expertise and the atmosphere is always peaceful and clean. Will definitly continue to go to the salon in the future!!"

"I went in yesterday for a cut and they were so kind! I asked if they would have time to do balayage color and they did. She did a fantastic job. My only complaint was I was not given a quoted price when I asked to add on the color. There was definitely some sticker shock when I saw the final total, but I take partial responsibility for not asking as well. My advice would be to make sure you get a quote before you begin your service so you are not stuck skipping meals like me, but I learned from my own mistake. If you have the money and can swing it you should definitely give these ladies your business as the end result was spectacular!!"

"I got my hair cut for the first time since the pandemic on June 18th. I also treated myself to pink/purple peekaboo highlights! My stylist was Rain Decastro and she was amazing. She was able to reschedule a few things to fit me in. She's fairly new at Salon Lola but you'd never know! She really put me at ease. Everyone was wearing masks so it felt very safe. I noticed there was cleaning between each client and use of the sink stations. I was also given bottled water. Rain took her time to understand exactly what hair cut and color process I wanted before beginning. I showed her some inspiration photos online to help illustrate what I wanted. She made sure to ask if I felt comfortable before each step of the process. I got about 2 feet of hair cut off! I told Rain in advance that I wanted to donate my hair. She kindly tied and braided my hair into 2 ponytails to prepare it for donation. She advised me to avoid donating to Locks of Love since they only donate a SMALL percentage of their hair donations. (I've heard they sell their hair donations too. I ended up donating to Hair We Share out of Long Island, NY!) Rain also made sure to take before and after photos. She was a real pleasure to work with! Overall it took 4.5 hours. Since it was my first time getting my hair colored, I didn't realize it would take that much time. Bring your cell phone charger! They have outlets by each chair. I met the owner Lola and she's a sweetheart too. I also bought a spray on leave in conditioner from the salon to care for my newly colored hair. They have beautiful plants in the front window and a clean restroom in the back as well. They also provided restaurant recommendations in the area for dinner afterward. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Rain's stylist services and Salon Lola! I felt very comfortable, pampered, and taken care of. Much needed after the pandemic! Call them to book your appointment! Tell them Dinh sent you! :)"
