I visited this salon after finding it on Citysearch. The first visit was impressive, but I am reluctant to submit a review based upon a single experience. My second visit confirmed what I suspected; this is by far the best mani/pedi experience over many decades and localities. It is transformative -- a compressed vacation. My only regret is that I cannot go every day! You owe it to yourself to be this indulgent and you will never want to go anywhere else but to Audrey. Enjoy!!!
Pros: Audrey turns a service into a transformative experience.
Cons: None.

This salon has a great commercial on tv with a catchy jingle that boasts a great, top-of-the-line salon. When you get there, everything is just as was advertised in the ad. They treat you like royalty. Sometimes there is a bit of a wait because they are extremeley busy, but once you're attended, you're treated like a queen. There isn't one thing I love--I love everything--the pedicures, manicures, massages, facials. The only con is the price. You gotta pay for the great, relaxing experience. It's a good idea to treat yourself here about twice a year.

I recently moved into the slope and was dreading hopping on the bus to go to my regular salon in Williamsburg so I decided to take a friends recommendation and go Slope Suds. I hadn't cut my hair in 2 years because I wanted to donate it to locks of love so I was nervous to trust someone new with such a big change.
Tanya was my stylist. She listened to my request to have a mid-length cut that I would not need to style and that would not make my wavy hair look frizzy. I ask for this every time I get a haircut and never get what I want. Instead I always get a cut that looks great for a couple of days and then is impossible to manage once I wash it. Tanya not only gave me a great cut but took the time to show me how to style my hair in 5 minutes and she didn't blow-dry it she just let it air dry so I could see how it would look on a normal day and make adjustments if need be.
The cut was so perfect no adjustments were needed. This is by far the cutest cut I have ever had and I still love it 4 washed later.
Pros: Great stylist, nice staff
Cons: sense some tension between staff

My sister in law recommended me to get my hair done by Jade. I haven't been to a salon since my last stylist really ripped me off. I'm glad I came to Color Arts Salon because Jade did an amazing job and her pricing is fair. You get real Manhattan treatment in Bensonhurst. I walked in not knowing what I wanted to get done, but Jade just sat me down and knew exactly what to do to make my hair look healthier than ever. She is very informative and helpful. She even keeps an information card for you, including a drawing of your face and hair structure. Tell all of your friends and family to come to Color Arts Salon & Spa.
Pros: Skilled and well educated aesthetician
Cons: None

I've been going to the pad for a little over a year for my cuts and color.She always comes up with the best color combos for me. And the bests cuts for my thick hair as it i grows out. If I ever have to leave this city I would miss the lilypad for sure. I know my girlfriend that went back home to Seattle does! I told her I was on my way to the pad to get my hair done and she said she was sooo jealous and that now she gets not as good a job at twice the price.Quite a few of my friends now go to her. Can I tell you how affordable she is? amazing! When I was looking for a regular place to go, everything in the city and even in Williamsburg was like twice the price and the stylists were not as nice. I love the low key attitude there, I feel taken care of in a no nonsense way.Lily is a great stylist and can always tell when you need a change and Kim her assistant cut my boyfriends hair and he loves it! I can't say enough..I love these chicks!
Pros: low prices, funky alternative style, highly skilled
Cons: no credit cards , no products sold here

I don't know where to begin. For starters, I normally do my own hair & I was skeptic to have just anyone in my hair. But I have about 4 girlfriends that goes to this salon and they all love it (each of them have different styles and hair textures)... so I said what the heck, go for it... and I did... WOW... the staff is friendly and professional. The salon is clean, they are NOT on thier cell phones/eating while doing your hair. Girl, the stylist themselves look like they are on the runway.... Very classy.
My stylist, Desiree is a complete sweetheart, she understood that with natural hair you have to take it piece by piece when you wash and set it... and let me tell you that she is on point when it comes to using a flat iron... she then follows it by the straightening comb for the edges! She was fabolous. Before going to the salon, my hair was pass my bra strap and she cut it & layered it to a little pass my shoulders. She recommended products that I can use on a daily basis and how to "dry curl" it at night....
Desiree herself wears her hair natural so that made me feel a big more comfortable, but then again she does my cousins hair who has a short cut and a perm, and Desiree does her hair lovely!!!!
Listen, I know that you don't know ME from a hole in the wall, but my experience was a great one. I'm going back in a couple weeks to get highlights!
The total bill amounted to $95.00 (wash, deep conditioning, set, flat iron and a layered cut)
The next day... everyone at work and in the street love it... I just had to call Desiree the next day and thank her again for the wonderful job...
Two of my girlfriends goes to Akilah & my 2 cousins goes to Desiree... Listen you can't go wrong with either one...

I went here two weeks ago with 11 other women,. It was the day before my wedding and I didn't want a bachelorette party -- just a bunch of us to get our nails done together. I ended up here because a more well known salon was being extremely difficult. SO GLAD THAT HAPPENED!!! These ladies were amazing! When I called on the phone to make an appointment, they were super friendly and had no problem with us deciding which type of manicure and pedicure to get when we arrived and we didn't even have to pay in advance (like the other salon required). When we arrived at the salon, they were very welcoming and started on us right away. We got to look at their menu of services while they began and they have a great variety -- and all at a more reasonable price! The ladies did an amazing job on everyone's nails and even helped us on with our shoes at the end -- making sure we didn't ruin our new pedicures by putting oil and a protective plastic wrap over our toes. They even gave everyone a travel size lotion and I got something extra special for being the bride! It was a great experience and I would highly recommend this place to anyone and everyone! I will be getting my nails done here from now on!
Pros: extremely accommodating, friendly, professional

I can not speak on other locations or stylists but I have been getting my hair done by David at the Dumbo location of Salon De Quartier for about a year now and he is fabulous! i have never had a cut or color that I haven't been 110% happy with - he is amazing! When my past hairstylist become a mother she decided not to come back to the salon - it took me two years to find David. Before finding him I had too many horrible hair-do's to recall. Everytime I show David a picture of the lastest hair crush he delivers!
David is super talented sytlist but also has an awesome personality that makes the experience a sheer pleasure. If you are considering Salon de Quartier see David and you will not be disspaointed.
Pros: David, location
Cons: None

Helen has been cutting my hair for a couple years now. I always come back! I have long curly hair with mixed texture and she does miracles with it. She has a great sense of shape/form for a person's face. I can go for months between cuts, the shape is so well balanced. I usually don't color, but wanted to for my sister's wedding. We talked about it and she got exactly the color I was thinking of on the first try! Plus it looked completely natural with my skin tone. THANKS HELEN!
Pros: Helen for cut and color
Cons: no American Express card
