Smart Hair Studio/Organic color/Botanical keratin - Brooklyn (NY)

5 /5 courtney lawrence: This is a long overdue review. I just moved to the city full time and had been looking for a place to redo my keratin treatment. Saw great reviews about this place and it did not disappoint. Angela was inspecting my hair type and gave her recommendation of doing the protein based treatment over the keratin. However, I was a little concerned as I had never done this before but then she allowed me the time to do research and think about the differences and did not pressure me to choose her recommendation. Additionally, Esther who is a part of her team also inspected my hair for a second opinion and had done both the keratin and protein treatments on her hair which gave me comfort if I decided to ever switch back to keratin treatments. All in all I decided to go with the protein treatment and I do not regret it. My hair was been so much easier to blow dry and maintain. I was also not pressured to buy any products from them but was given samples in the event I wanted to. Getting hair treatments like this in NY is definitely pricey but I will 100% be going back to get my hair done hair as the experience and quality were superb.

5 /5 Magda: I recently visited Smart Hair Studio for the first time and was thoroughly impressed. Despite initial reservations stemming from previous negative experiences with my hair, Angela and Mariana took the time to listen to my concerns and ensure my comfort. Their expert advice was provided without pressure, and the hair coloring, cut, and deep conditioning services left my hair feeling and looking significantly healthier. I highly recommend Smart Hair Studio to anyone seeking exceptional service. Magda

5 /5 Astri Kingstone: I have been coming here since they opened over 15 years ago. All the stylists are great but I have mainly seen Angela over the years. I went in originally for keratin treatments and they were amazing. Angela turned my frizzy untamed hair into a soft, relaxed, easy to manage do. In between treatments I just brushed it or pulled it through a flat iron and it was pristine and I loved it! I recently decided to return to my curly waves and Angela easily pivoted and knows how to let my natural thickness work beautifully through layering and thinning it out. I’m really happy with it. Angela spends a lot of time talking to you about what you like and coming up with creative and helpful suggestions. This salon is more affordable than many and the people are welcoming and talented.

5 /5 Jibi J: I am very selective about who I trust to handle my hair because I have had bad experiences in the the past and also experience thinned hair from having covid twice. On top of that, I only go to organic or natural hair salons because of the array of chemicals found in convential hair care products. I live on Long Island, but this salon came up right away when I searched up organic hair salons on google. After seeing so many before and after photos, I decided to call to make an appointment. I was able to get an appointment the same week and was also kindly offered 10% off services for new clients. Angela and her team were so friendly and patient with all the questions I had as well as explaining after care. They helped me decide between the keratin and protein and I decided on the latter. Angela was able to complete the treatment despite my hair being very frizzy and resistant. She cut my uneven layers that really needed to go. I was not pressured into buying any products or anything like I have experienced at other salons. I was actually given two samples for hair mask. Angela and her team are very genuine people who want the best for you and your hair. I will definitely be back!! I included pics of my before and after. photo credit to Smart Hair Studio!

5 /5 Kaitlyn Patras: Friendly and knowledgable staff in a super cute and clean salon. Esther is amazing! Is super knowledgeable and actually talks with you about what you want and your goals. She also did baby steps with cutting my hair as I wasnt sure about how much to cut- she cut a little and then cut more when asked. She is awesome! Never had a stylist I would ask for name until now. 100% would recommend.
