SALON LOLA

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! 🙂

I was so happy with the results of visiting Lola today at her salon. First of all, the decor is lovely and really gives off a fresh, welcoming vibe. Lola is warm. professional, and friendly, and you'll be offered a drink when you sit down. I emailed beforehand to get a sense of how Lola treated curly hair, and her response was exactly what I was looking for. We also chatted for a few minutes before she got to work about exactly what I was looking for. I LOVE this level of personal attention and care! Lola got to work, exactly in the manner she'd explained via her original email, and we chatted most of the time she was at work. Even before she'd finished the style I could tell she'd done an incredible job. I hadn't had my hair cut at a salon in years (I do it myself at home), and she just took my style to the next level. My cut for my long, thick, curly hair was $80 and Lola has her prices posted on her website, and was also able to quote me the approximate cost via email, and stayed in line with that estimate. This was an awesome experience that left me feeling gorgeous and happy! I will be back 🙂

I had an amazing experience with Lola. I have long loosely curly hair, and was really hesitant because I’ve had some bad experiences with stylists who don’t know what they’re doing with curly hair. Before scheduling an appointment, I emailed the salon to make sure they knew what kind of hair I had and what I was looking for, with many photos. Lola listened to my concerns with so much understanding and patience, and made sure to address each one and made me feel really heard and taken care of and so I felt confident booking an appointment. On the day of, she took her time dry cutting and then styling my hair - it looked absolutely perfect. Each curl was cut with care and placed with precision. I’ve never had a better experience. She’s so skilled and experienced, I will never go to anyone else! I trust her with my hair completely. Thank you so much! My hair is so happy.

I went to see Lola after two other colorists hadn’t quite figured out how to match my natural hair color to dye my roots. She did a spectacular job, and the blow dry after was on point. My hair never looked better. I was extremely happy with the results and I’ve already booked my next appointment. Everyone on the staff was extremely sweet and friendly. It really felt like a cute, neighborhood salon but with extremely professional, superior service.

Lola has being doing my hair for YEARS, she’s the only stylist allowed to touch my hair. She’s an expert with color. I like to keep my hair red, which is a very difficult color to maintain because it tends to fade quickly. I find myself getting compliments on my color up to 3 months after a visit, even with my grey roots visibly growing in. I recently moved upstate and I still commute to Brooklyn to get my hair done because it is such a pleasure to see Lola. The products she uses and sells are divine and I won’t use anything else on my hair. Definitely recommend!!

I love Salon Lola! Lola has cut and colored my hair for years. I'm so happy to have found her. The salon itself is super cute and has a chill vibe. The staff is both professional and welcoming. I'm always greeted with a smile and offered a beverage or other refreshment. A thorough consultation is given. I can be sure that I will end up with the hair I want. I could go on and on. I can't say enough good things about this place. I recommend it to everyone!

I don’t have enough good things to say about Salon Lola and the people there. A few months ago I walked past and their cute sign and interior caught my eye. I called to make an appointment when I got home and they fit me in THAT day with Bianca. It was the first professional haircut I had in years and I LOVED IT. Fast forward a month or two and I went back for another bang trim and cut. This time I was paired with Rain. I cannot hype this woman up ENOUGH! She was absolutely fantastic and SO knowledgeable. She gave me exactly what I envisioned and then some. She is kind, sweet, talented, and I just felt extremely cared for. I could tell that she was determined to make me look and feel as fabulous as possible and MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! I’ve never had a haircut in my life that I have loved the way I love this cut. It’s absolute perfection. You can tell that the professionalism, FUN, and style is oozing from this place. I look forward to being in their capable hands for my future cuts.
