Classic Beauty Studio - Brooklyn (NY)

5 /5 Raynelle: I visited Classic salon to get a silk press from Azure. The experience was great! The salon is clean and beautiful! It was quiet and fast service. Azure is very friendly and my silk press came out very nice and silky. I will be returning. Nice to have a black owned salon in the neighborhood that does great hair.

1 /5 Effie Edusei: I was always happy with Classic Beauty and used to do my sew-ins there but my experience with them lately has been rather disappointing. The last two sew-ins Ive done with them started coming out after a week. The first time, the owner Kadeisha let me come in and the stylist Tashaunda fixed it back up. The second time which happened recently was with Azzy and was much worse. The whole front left started coming out after a week. I was on a work trip and called them when I returned to find out when I could come in to have Azzy sew it back up. In this instance, they wanted to charge me to fix the part coming out which is absurd. How do you charge a customer for a service you have failed to complete properly? This is not the salon for sew-ins and customer service is also clearly deteriorating. I gave them the benefit of the doubt the first time but two in a row when Ive had a sew in done else where in between which I didnt have a single problem with shows there is something broken with their method or training. Sew ins should not be coming out with all the threads hanging out after 1-2 weeks and a good sew in should be able to last 6-8 weeks. Its disheartening to pay over $300 for a service and to be treated this way. Further to this, I arrived on a time and even though Azzy was available, she decided to finish blow drying HER own hair before she attended to me while I sat there waiting for her to finish providing a service to herself on my time. Classic has lost a customer for good and also a high referrer to their business.

5 /5 Kayla Ciara Scurry: Loved my experience at Classic. Mariah did a wonderful job with my silk press. The shampoo and treatment was refreshing, and the heat styling was thorough and pretty. The salon itself is really clean and the customer service was great. It was a top tier experience.

1 /5 Myoshi Richardson: My first experience at the salon was great, and my service was done by the owner, Kadeisha. However, during my next two visits, I encountered an issue. Although I specifically booked with Kadeisha, she contacted me the day before each appointment to inform me she wouldn’t be available and instead referred me to a stylist named Azzy. If Kadeisha is unavailable on certain days, I believe she should remove her availability from the booking site to avoid confusion and frustration. While Azzy is a kind person, I don’t feel she has the same level of expertise when it comes to caring for natural hair. Her focus seemed to be more on the finished look rather than the health of the hair. Unfortunately, after receiving services from Azzy, my curl pattern was noticeably damaged due to excessive heat. My hair no longer felt the same, and I was very disappointed with the outcome. I’ve had several silk presses before without any damage, so this was especially disheartening. If you have natural hair and are looking for occasional silk presses without compromising your hair’s health, I would not recommend this salon. It feels like there’s more emphasis on creating social media content than truly prioritizing the care and health of Black women’s hair.
