Simplicity Beauty Studio 1480 Dekalb Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11237

"The manager from this shop sucks, she doesn’t know how to run a business. She lock the restroom for costumers"

"This salon says that it opens at 10:30 am and it does not. They had my girlfriend waiting for an hour and couldn’t get her hair done before her trip. What type of business doesn’t open on time or tell it’s clients to come at a specific time and don’t show up."

"What this salon did to me was illegal. If I were more litigious, I would be taking them to court; fortunately for them, I am just here to ruin their reputation. I walked in for a simple wash, cut, and blow dry, and the place looked like a nice hole in the wall ‘mom and pop’ spot. Because I didn’t want a lot done to my hair and I liked that it seemed like a local family run business, I was happy to go in and wait for a simple cut and dry. After waiting quietly for half an hour, they called me back for a wash. Upon washing my hair, the woman had me wait for an additional 20 minutes for the cut. The lady then cut my hair and I noticed afterwards she forgot to cut some pieces, which when I asked her back to fix, she did, with absolute disdain. I brushed it off, let her do her thing, then was passed on to another woman to blow dry. I noticed my head felt hot as the woman blow dried my hair but just assumed it was a hot machine and let it be. I’ll tell you, my hair never looked more perfect after that heat was applied; it was too perfect. Despite perfection, she proceeded to straighten my hair. It smelled like an incinerator. Its been less than 24 hours since the experience and I now realize that it wasn’t just the heat, it was sulfur. The “post-wash” wait wasn’t because they were busy, it was because they were letting the product sink into my hair and scalp. I am currently with a professional stylist who is explaining what these women did to me and understands the protocol for chemically induced hair, what the reaction does and can do, and knows how dangerous what they did is to me. She explains this to me as she is trying furiously to wash the rotten egg stench out of my hair. ***These women, without my consent, put extremely powerful chemicals on my scalp that A. had I previously colored my hair, would have caused permanent damage not just to my hair, but to my scalp. B. “Perm/Straightening” chemicals are extremely hazardous and can cause cancer if not used properly. C. Applying chemicals without customer consent is not just unprofessional, it is illegal and dangerous.*** Shut this place down. I say this with so much vigor, as I sit and wait for the chemical burn pain to cease from my head, hoping these burns don’t seep too deep near the most important organ on my body."

"They know nothing about styling, they killed me completely, completely messed up my hair. In the picture you can see their layer hair cut. She destroyed me, i will never return for god sake I just wanted the tips removed. I am extremely sad."

"Friendly, professional staff. Happy that a good old-fashion haircut still exists in NYC at an affordable price. I was in and out in less than 10 minutes. The stylist made sure she asked all questions before cutting. She made sure the length and style I wanted were her priority. Loved the attention and care given! I would definitely come back to this salon!"
