I got a pedicure that cost me $26.00 - your basic nothing fancy pedi. What first got my attention was that I did not notice the woman (Lara, Laurie) take her "tools" from the sterilizer - I thought maybe I was just not paying attention. While she was doing my pedicure, she cut too close on two toes - one even bled a bit! Incidentally, that one is still sore after a week. But the worst was that the manicurist asked if she could borrow a "tool" which she did and proceeded to USE it on HER client! No washing, cleaning, sterilizing! Direct from my foot to this other woman's hands! Comments to the manager about this might never have been made - she could not have been less interested. Maybe the Board of Health will be! NEVER EVER GO THERE! Pros: There are no pros Cons: Unhealthy hygiene practices

I grew up in the neighborhood and have been to the salon a handful of times both as a teen (and didn't know any better), in my early 20s, and then with my bridal party (for convenience's sake). I gave it a few tries and it is always the same = eh. The truth is that overall this is not a bad salon, but it ain't so hot either. As far as haircuts (I can't speak for color, etc.), is nothing more than an average salon with a "fancy" exterior. I have never loved any haircut or styling they have given me. In fact, they were not even memorable. It's important to note that I am not a hair salon snob in any way, so this salon had plenty of chances to impress me and just never delivered. So, for the uninitiated, understand what you are getting into. They do (collectively) have an attitude problem. So, if that doesn't appeal to you, then this is not the place for you, especially since it is not well-deserved. But you will find plenty of people in the neighborhood go to this salon to buy into feeling fancy and swear by the place. You can read their numerous reviews on this site. But, I signed up just to write this review after seeing only a few truthful posts and felt compelled to keep these reviews accurate. And it seems like the salons read these reviews sometimes, so Pilo impress us with your work, not with your noses in the air. Acting cool in Bay Ridge does not give you credit anywhere else. If you work on these problems, then you'll really be a better salon for it. Pros: Looks nice on the exterior. Cons: The Tude, not so hot cuts, not so hot prices.

I think it doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize almost all of these reviews are written by the same person or should I say the salon itself. The place is full of stuck-up stylists who are mediocre at best. I had my hair turned orange, I guess that's a new shade of highlights and my hair blown out by a stylist who complained the whole time how my hair was soo thick. That's good customer service. They should offer some of the sylists there a class in customer service 101 since after my close to 60 dollar hair cut that you couldn't even tell was cut, I never went back. Pros: None I can think of

people dont listen too what people write on this. if you went there then you would know how you feel, pilo arts treats you like your a princess. i always go here, for my color and haircut. Don is the best colorist ever, and my hairdresser (i don't want to use her name) but she always get my hair perfect and smooth. I go to Pilo because i love their serivce, and i am happy. Pros: Example: best croissants in town Cons: What are the drawbacks?

I have recently had my hair colored by Don and styled by Mohammed. These two gentlemen made my day when they put their professional touch on my red-head trusses! Also a few weeks prior...I have received an indulging facial from Bella whom I have been going to for years. I felt so pampered and relaxed that I did not want to wake up when the treatment was over. She also does the best waxing services this side of down state New York! Give them a try...you'll be pleased trust me! The front desk staff is also very friendly and courteous! Pros: Best Hair Stylists, Colorists and Aestheticians in NY! Cons: parking

I drove my wife to try another hair place. This time it was in Brooklyn. We are from Manhattan. I was not sure why she picked this palce. But i soon found out. I droped her off a looked for a parking spot on 3rd ave, which was not easy. Finally i walked into the salon and my wife had checked in with the front desk after waiting on a small line. Imediatly were were wisked away to this most fabulous waiting area. Available was almost any refreshment or snack available. A gentle men walked in and asked where i parked and if i would need anybody to watch my meter. NICE! I dont know how they do it. The place was jammed and it was a thursday. But everything was moving smoothly. They came for my wife and she began what she told me later was a dream salon come true. A while later a person came by and told me not to worry about my meter -it was taken of. The colorist came over soon later and told me her color was processing and she would be getting her haircut soon. About 45 min later another person told me my wife was almost finnished and i could meet her in the front of the place. And sure enough she appeared and looked great. After she paid someone wisked her over to a makeup applier and got a complimentry makeup. Really nice people. I still cant figure out how they do it. 2 very attrative women, i think they were managers thanked us for coming. And said hope to see you again. They will. Pros: Great value, service Cons: Very busy, had to wait in line to check in
