The reviewer who said this place was filthy and who hated the gossip was someone who should have been spending twice as much to be at a more image-conscious hipster salon elsewhere in Park Slope. I love a chic salon too, who doesn't, but here's my problem with those places - the stylists are mostly under 30 and don't have a clue. I prefer highlights that are very fine, giving the overall look of a natural pale blonde. In other words, more Park Ave blonde than Jersey stripes. But I've literally never, after living in 3 different large cities now, found a young hip stylist who could do highlight and foil placement that way. They always do it chunky because it's easier and they lack the skill. And on top of it they take way too long. Like as in hours. Instead, I will happily take Rose with her lifetime of experience, getting the job done right and getting it done fast for a little over a hundred bucks. My colorist in Beverly Hills was like this too - an older woman with a ton of experience who gossiped. BEST hair ever with her too. As for all that, the gossip and the clutter (it's clutter not filth, it's a clean place) come on, it's true Brooklyn! It's like something out of a movie. Enjoy one of the old-school Brookyn experiences before it all dies out. It's total entertainment and a lot of fun for you if you just relax and roll with it.
Pros: Very experienced
Cons: If you need a chic decor go elsewhere
