I held off on writing this review because I really wanted to give the salon a chance to be better. But they didn't, so here we go. After getting 2 great haircuts, I went into the salon in November 2021 to get a blue color in a balayage. My hair is naturally black but it was already bleached from a previous balayage. The only thing I told the stylist I didn’t want was for my hair to look like it normally does (super dark and black). I wanted there to be a noticeable  difference so it didn’t look like I did nothing to my hair. Long story short, my hair turned out exactly how I didn’t want it: black, exactly the same as it was before. I was visibly upset and expressed my disappointment with the job, especially because it felt like they were rushing me out of the salon so they could get on to their next client. I paid close to $400 for my hair to just look black and almost exactly what it looked like on a regular basis. While I understand that, at salons you pay for a stylist's time, when a customer is clearly very unhappy with the results, in my opinion, I should have been offered some kind of discount either at that point or offered to have me come back again so they could fix it free of charge. I swallowed my disappointment and paid because the stylist, Ebony, usually does a great job cutting my hair and I didn’t want to burn that bridge. A couple weeks go by and my hair starts turning green as the “blue” fades out of my hair. Totally fine, I expected this to happen so I made an appointment to go get it done before NYE. The stylist canceled the appointment last minute. I made a second appointment to go in early January. This appointment is also canceled the same morning of the appointment. I tried calling on 1/22/2022 to try to make an appointment again  was told that I would receive a call back by the end of the day with options. I did not receive that call. I get a call back the next day and I am offered 2 times that don’t work for me and then told that the next available time is not until the middle of March. I think my biggest disappointment is in the salon's customer service. Given that the salon had canceled on me twice, I had hoped that they would make an effort to prioritize making time available since it is now on them to accommodate me. I am even more disappointed that this lack of respect and professionalism appears to stem from the fact that I look young, dress on the casual side, and thus I don't think I fall into their typical clientele. Despite the great haircuts I received at the salon, everything else I have tried to do has not been great in both hair results and customer service.  I will now move on to another salon that will better respect my time and value my money. Just an overall disappointing experience despite the first 2 haircuts.

Nov 2019: Union Beauty was great! Great vibes and Cassie was a fantastic hairstylist. She really listened to what I wanted, gave excellent consultation on what would work for my hair and what my options could include. Then, after the cut, when it didn't look quite how I imagined, she redid the whole cut so that it would! I love the haircut I walked out with. She went above and beyond and was incredibly friendly and fun on top of all that. Highly recommend! UPDATE: I returned to Union Beauty today and was overjoyed to have Cassie work her magic again. I left Union Beauty with another fantastic haircut and I was so grateful for the attention, care and talent that Cassie brought to the cut. She really understands and designs a haircut with texture, style and maintenance in mind. The COVID precautions were thoughtful and reasonable — I was glad to feel like the stylists, staff and customers are all protected throughout the session. Highly highly recommend!

I have been going here off and on for years, have always had an OK experience. I recently went in for a $75 gloss, and during the gloss the woman doing my hair mentioned I could use an inch trim to get rid of my split ends. I said sure and she cut my hair for 5 minutes or so. When it came time to pay, my total was over $200 (with a 20% tip it was $240). I spoke to the manager the next day and she fully agreed that I should have been informed that I would be charged a full $125 fee for a haircut in order for her to trim that one inch off the bottom. She then called back and said that my person "cuts hair quickly" and all they were willing to offer me more of a haircut but that was it. Well, not a very good solution considering I didn't want a haircut in the first place! Very disappointed in how this was all handled. Will not be returning to Union Beauty.

  • Melinda Allison

I have been getting my hair done by Laurie for about 3 years and she is one of the best stylists I've ever had work on my hair. She is very talented and professional--amazing with dimensional color and can either stick with the same thing or suggest something new that turns out well (I've been sticking with the most recent "something new" for a while now since I like it so much). She is also friendly and down to earth so easy to have a conversation with. The salon space is not too big, not too small, has a very chill atmosphere that is both welcoming and fun. I'm sensitive to noise, and they seem to control the noise level better than most salons despite the interior being mostly hard surfaces. It's not a quiet space but the balance between music volume, voice level, and hair dryer is very well managed.

  • Ashley Smutek

I’ve gotten my hair done before numerous times by different stylists from around NY. After all my treatments I usually leave with minimal satisfaction. I was booked with Russel At Union Beauty and could not have been happier. Russel took the time to sit down with me and discuss what I wanted to do. He showed pictures and reviewed step by step what we were going to do. Really took the time to give my hair the love and care it so desperately needed after not being touched for several months due to Covid. After my time with Russel I can say I left that salon with my head held high and feeling like a millions bucks. Words cannot express how satisfied I was with my cut and color. You will not regret coming here. Do yourself a favor and make an appointment!! Everything is also Covid safe and clean.

  • Elizabeth Butters

I've been to Union Beauty several times and have had a great experience every time. Sometimes getting a haircut feels like taking a trust fall, and I've always felt very safe with Angela. I had my hair highlighted for the first time with Angela and the results were beautiful. It looked so natural and flattering. It was truly artful. Most recently, I came in for a consultation after receiving a haircut I didn't feel great about at another salon. Angela quickly diagnosed what felt "off" about the cut while assuring me that it wasn't anything drastic or unfixable. She was able to squeeze in a quick cut where she blended everything out, and then I received a wonderful shampoo. Today my hair looks and feels so much better! Thank you!

  • Eileen Kelly

Russell is wonderful. My full head of blonde highlights came out great. It’s always a bit scary trying a new colorist. Over the years I’ve gone to some of nyc’s best-known-for-blondes stylists. So, making a switch meant doing my homework. After reading lots of bios and reviews for Brooklyn based colorists I chose Russell based on his depth of experience. At my first appointment he listened carefully to my ideas about my hair and offered his ideas making sure we understood eachother. He’s a master, intelligent and warm. He also brought my hair back to life with a great cut that was long overdue after having postponed getting my hair done during Covid. I’m so glad I found this little gem of a salon and Russell.

  • Mia Brandt

I haven't been happy with my haircuts for a whiled wanted to change salons/stylists, so I read like a million reviews and settled on Russell at Union. All the compliments and raves that had been written about him were 100% true. I felt like he really cared about me, looked at me as an individual, heard what I had to say and understood my confusion about what I actually needed, and taught me so much about how to care for my hair! I am like an ignorant 10 year old boy (I am actually a 68 year old woman lol) when it comes to making my hair look good and now I feel armed with tricks, tools, and products to use on my own plus a GREAT haircut that was just what I wanted. Thank you Russell and Union Salon.

  • Solange Osorio

Updated: September 2020 I love coming back here time after time not only because my color and cut meet my expectations but the service that Ebony provides is 5 star. ———————————- Had a great experience with Cassie today! From entering the salon, the experience was warm and welcoming -- which was awesome, since it was freezing outside! I had neglected getting a haircut for a while, so we had a lot to work with. Cassie gave me a great style, removing about 4 inches and adding back some much-needed shape. I am very pleased with the length, and know my hair well enough to know already that this is a great cut. I will be back in two weeks for color and will be booking Cassie to also cut my teens hair.

  • Shannon Gazay

First time customer - The booking process was easy and my appointment was on time. The staff (in general) were very friendly, attentive and professional. Diane is fantastic! Personable and obviously very skilled. She asked me about my hair before we started the process (which was very much appreciated). I felt confident that she understood the look I was looking to achieve and she totally delivered on it! My hair is the actual length we discussed and the layers compliment my naturally wavy hair (so I can wear it styled or natural). I received a compliment almost immediately after I left the salon. Really safe, clean, great experience. I will be back for sure!

  • elif kutlu

It needed to be Excellent rating! Because, I had unfortunate experience before and Russell’s touch made my hair similar to what I wanted to do and I’m really happy that experience it was my first time and wouldn’t be the last time. If you go there you will feel me. He is really good listener and of course stylist. He asked me my daily routine with my hair I don’t like to use much product or something to my hair he recommended to me the exactly what I want for my daily use and I’m thankful for all what he did to me. He never do what you don’t want him to do it’s all surrounding how you want to look. I’m really thankful for my experience⚡️

  • Lea Christine

I came here last minute today to have my hair cut and blown out because I was fed up with my hair needing a refresh. Ebony was my stylist and so sweet and fun the whole time she made the time fly by. She really took the time to learn about my hair and the way I do things to it. I have bangs so it is always scary to have someone new touch them but they look perfect. She followed my reference photos great :) I will for sure be back here. I also like how the salon is still very Covid safe so bring a mask and your vax card. They ask you to wash your hands upon arrival too. Not a bad thing because the flu is going around too

  • Kathleen Addison

I had such a great time getting my hair done by Laurie and chatting with her and David! Laurie listened to what I was looking for and took her time to make sure I was happy with everything. I have seen a LOT of stylists, and this is one of the best experiences I’ve had in the city. My hair is curly which means it requires extra attention and skill, and Laurie did an amazing job. AND it’s so much more affordable than most places! Don’t be fooled by the prices! The quality of the service and care for the client is top notch. I am very grateful for Laurie, and I’m excited to be back again when I can!

  • eileen reilly

Union Beauty is simply a wonderful salon. It’s a safe, well run, calming sanctuary, with top notch service and thoughtful COVID-19 protocols which the staff is vigilant about practicing. The salon has two separate rooms which can accommodate clients safely and comfortably. Stylist Laurie is a cutting and color expert with over 20 years of experience who I highly recommend. The Euphora and EVO products the salon uses are excellent, and specifically chosen to benefit your specific hair type. You are in good and kind hands here, and can feel at ease knowing your needs will be well met! Eileen

  • Justine Marrone

This review is long overdue as I have been a long time client of union beauty. I love coming here to get my hair done- everyone who works here is lovely and kind! I booked an appointment with Ebony by chance (maybe three years ago at this point?) and she has been doing my hair ever since. Beyond being a magician with scissors and a chemist who can concoct the perfect shade of blonde- Ebony is one of the most thoughtful and warm people I have ever met. She always listens intently to my hair asks and makes me feel like a priority. I love being her client and love love love my hair!

  • Paula Silverman

If you want to feel pampered, refreshed and gorgeous, this is the place for you! Jamie is a fantastic stylist; meticulous, professional, friendly! We hit it off right away, she's a breath of fresh air! Jamie gave me the most relaxing shampoo-massage! She cut and styled my hair to perfection. I couldn't be happier. I'll definitely be back! Pleasant, clean atmosphere. Friendly staff, clean, very accommodating. Rest assured you're receiving the highest quality services. State of the art washing station, you'll be amazed! I felt pampered and had an amazing experience.

  • Ivy Castro

Everything about my visit to Union Beauty today was wonderful. The space is clean and my temperature was taken as soon as I arrived. My belongings were put into plastic bags and I was immediately asked to wash my hands upon arrival. In addition, I was directed to move about the space in a way that maximized social distancing. Angela listened to my request and gave me the perfect haircut. She made my requested haircut even better than I thought it would be! I’m in live with my new look and looking forward to showing it off starting tomorrow!

  • Amanda Engler

Small, cozy salon with expert staff and a warm and welcoming environment. I have visited three different stylists (due to scheduling issues and one who left), and all are great with my very thick straight hair. I’ll be sticking with Laurie from now on! Bonus points for great music. I’m usually there for about three hours for full color and cut, but it’s always a pleasant time. I also really like the Eufora products (they don’t push them unless you’re interested) and the points system where you earn free stuff.

  • Paige Brocious

Diane does incredible work!! And she's a lovely person to hang with. I hadn't had much experience with coloring aside from a few rounds of highlights years ago. She explained the process in detail to me and offered her opinion on what she thought would look best. We decided on a blonde balyage (from light brown hair) and a bob cut. I couldn't be happier with my new look and I will absolutely be back to see Diane in the future. Also A+ to everyone in the salon for COVID-19 safety protocols. Thank you Diane!!!

  • Liz K

Russel is the absolute best. He’s great with curls and never leaves my hair feeling damaged despite doing transformative color every time. He also understands products and has given me great advice on how to use my products at home. After our first appointment I bought a few products from the salon and reassessed my home routine. When I returned a few months later he said he saw a noticeable difference in my hair texture. I always look forward to my appointments with Russel. Highly recommend!!

  • Deborah Schaeffer

Laurie is an artist - she gave me the best haircut of my life. I showed her a picture of what I wanted and she made it come out even better than what I had imagined. She gave me gorgeous color, and spent literally hours getting it just right. This salon is spotlessly clean and they were more careful and conscientious about observing proper hygiene and safety measures than any establishment I’ve been inside during the pandemic. I can’t imagine going anywhere else now to get my hair done.

  • rakhil shamailova

Amazing salon. I walked in here on a Saturday almost when they closed, and Russell gave me the best color correction service ever. The salon is chill, everyone is friendly, the atmosphere is great and I felt listened to and taken care of. I came in with fried purple hair wanting to go back to my brunette roots. Russel knocked others out of the park and I left feeling great ! I’d recommend this salon to anyone! I know he’s made a lifelong client out of me for sure.

  • Olga A

Russel is great! We are so lucky to have him here at the East Cost now. With all his experience and amazing technique he turned my hair the perfect icy blonde I’ve always dreamed of. I really enjoyed the service. Everyone at the salon was nice and friendly. The interior of the salon is beautiful and I loved the spooky dolls decorations for the Halloween. Highly recommend the Union Beauty salon for anyone doing bleaching and toning, root touch up and blow out.

  • Nell Schenck

Diane was fantastic in every possible way. I told her what I was looking for. She really listened, gave me my options and then made it happen effortlessly. She is incredibly sweet and really easy to talk to. I couldn’t recommend her more. An amazing addition to this brilliant salon that I’ve been going to for years. So happy to see they are still thriving in this crazy world. (Laurie is also an amazing colorist that I’ve seen numerous times over the years).

  • Alexandra Brown

Mark was excellent! This was my first appointment at union beauty and I instantly felt welcomed and comfortable. The space is really cute and the vibes are great! Everyone was super nice. Mark was very friendly and my hair came out exactly how I wanted. I’m blonde and a lot of the time stylists just can’t get it right! My experience was refreshing and I’m so glad to have found a new nearby salon that can give me what I’m looking for! Thanks Mark! Ali

  • Lisa Chamoff

It’s a joy going to this salon. Everyone here is so professional and friendly and I always get compliments on my cut and color. I’ve been seeing Angela since before she opened the salon and would never consider trusting my hair with anyone else. She’s excellent at providing suggestions while listening to what you want. The COVID precautions definitely put me at ease. The salon is never crowded, impeccably clean and masks are always worn.

  • Casey Amos

I loved my appointment with Cassie! She sat down to discuss how I would like my hair to be cut and colored and gave me different options before we began. She was a great conversationalist and gave the best scalp massage during my shampoo. My hair looked fabulous after she was done! The studio was so clean and neat and it was obvious all of the stylists were serious about the COVID - 19 safety requirements. I will for sure be back again!

  • Karvunis Georgann

I went to Mark on a whim because I had my hair colored by another salon and the streaks were too much for me. Mark was available, and as soon as I sat down, I felt well cared for. He fully understood why I wanted a darker look and listened. I came out of the salon feeling so beautiful and happy that I had found this gem of a shop right in my neighborhood instead of having to trek into Manhattan during Covid. Mark is amazing.

  • Christina King

Diane at Union Beauty was fantastic. I hadn't had a haircut in over a year and yikes it was so long and lanky. I almost cried tears of joy when she was finished. I LOVE the cut (10 inches!), it's now a super cute lob and the bangs are perfect. Diane was so warm and pleasant throughout. Also, I was very impressed with the covid precautions. Better than my doctor's appt I had later that day honestly! Felt very safe.

  • Kiki

I was making a big change from long, past-the-shoulders hair to chin-length bob, and Diane was awesome. Very kind and patient with my lack of knowledge, asking many questions to make sure she understood what I wanted. She also explained what she was doing throughout, repeatedly checking in with me, and then talked to me about styling before leaving. Feel really happy with my hair and will be back!

  • Eleanore Epps

I had a simple cut 2 months ago, just had no time to share my positive experience. My hairstylist was Cassie. She was really professional and friendly. She listened to my wishes for a cut and did exactly what I wanted. My hair looked fantastic, so neat. I will definitely come back in a couple of months! I was looking for a hair salon for about a month before I found these reviews. Thank you G+!

  • Christina Soriano

I had an excellent experience ar Union Beauty! My stylist and colorist was Diane. She helped me find the exact color/gloss that I needed. She is professional, stylish, and great at assessing your needs! I can’t wait to go back. Everyone who works there is friendly, they follow covid precautions, and have later appointments which is so helpful. Thank you Union Beauty! A gem in Park Slope.

  • Libby Fearnley

Love Union Beauty! Have seen both Benita and Russel and had only wonderful cuts. Russel makes me laugh and we always have a good time. Benita, too— we have a lot in common. This place has good vibes and excellent cuts & colors. Highly recommend. (Oh and they are being super careful with keeping everything sanitary and safe. This was my first cut since January.)

  • Becki Maisch

Great cut and color from Cassie. I strutted down the street a little as I left the salon. You know the hair cuts that make you want to go out after you leave the salon? Like you don’t want to waste the good hair on going straight home? It was that kind of haircut. All of the staff at Union are friendly and outgoing. I laughed a lot and I felt really comfortable.

  • Siobhan O'Malley

Absolutely wonderful! The whole team is just doing it so right! I felt completely safe, they had such great protocols and systems set. Ebony is always an absolute delight and nails the exact look I want. Also we seem to have just wonderful conversations. I’ll never go anywhere else as long as I live in New York! Thank you all so much! So happy you are all back!

  • Jennifer Gouker

The salon is beautifully ran! Very clean and excellent safety protocols! I was treated so kindly and felt welcomed from the start! Laurie was amazing and made me feel confident about chopping a lot of my hair off to create a super cute bob cut! Thank you Laurie! I love my hair! Wonderful experience overall! I have found my “home” salon finally! :-)

  • Marcia Zia-Priven

Ebony is amazing. This girl took my quarantine hair with 3 inches of dark roots and made it absolutely beautiful again. Patient, artistic, skilled and just a kind and funny lady. Thanks Ebony for making me feel human again! And thank you Union Beauty for taking so many precautions to make your clients feel safe and secure during this scary time. ❤️

  • Faith Masi

I had an amazing haircut and blowout with Ebony today. She was really in tune with how I wanted it cut. I was running late because it is torrentially raining out. I did not want to rush the uber in the pouring rain. The staff was kind and patient with me. I appreciated a safe and warm environment. I love Union Beauty!

  • Sarah P

Went to see Laurie today and she was wonderful! Always hard to find someone who can cut curly hair, but she nailed it. Not only did she carefully cut my hair, she did a beautiful wavy blowout for me to leave with. She was so pleasant, made me feel comfortable, and took her time. Highly recommend her & this salon!

  • Kirsten Cole

Union Beauty has always provided fabulous service: amazing haircuts and color. I've been so impressed by their approach to safety in covid times, and I feel 100% safe and well taken care of. In these challenging times, it feels wonderful to have a sassy new haircut, and I look great on all my Zoom meetings. ;-)

  • Donna McPherson

Love Union Beauty in Park Slope. Bettina has been my stylist for a few years and she is very talented and an all round brilliant stylist. I would highly recommend her since finding Bettina my hair has never looked so chic and stylish! Everyone there is lovely and they have excellent covid precautions in effect.

  • Martha Guenther

Angela is the best — always takes time to talk about what I want out of my haircut, shares her own insight, and is masterful when it comes to the actual art of cutting my hair. Have been going to her for over ten years and will keep doing so as long as I can. She is such a pro and runs an awesome shop!

  • maria villalta

The most easy going hair appointment I've ever been on. I felt so comfortable that I even forgot to show Jon my references! Turns out I didn't need them, he knew exactly what to do. First hairdresser that has actually preserved my length. My salon bouncing days have finally come to an end. Thanks Jon!

  • Allaire Welk

Ebony is absolutely amazing. I’m so happy I found her. She’s detail-oriented, super easy to talk to, she shared information with me about her approach and what she was doing to my hair throughout the process, and she gave me the best blonde of my life. I couldn’t be happier. I’ve found my stylist!

  • Kelli Workman

Angela took solid time to get a full picture of where my hair was at and where I was hoping to go with it. Those types of service skills are scarce these days; I really valued that. Diane also took great care of me and is very knowledgeable. Great vibe among everyone there. Thank you!

  • Annalisa Cusi

Great COVID precautions being taken by everyone at Union Beauty. The staff are super friendly even beyond the barriers of face masks! Betina is always a friendly face (or set of eyes these days) and she gave me a great haircut. They are such an important part of this community!! Thank you!

  • Sarah Bolivar

I have curly hair around 3A - 3C and Laurie has been such a phenomenal stylist for me. I usually go with Aveda and have tried Devachan but Union Beauty has provided the best experience thus far—plus I’m supporting an independent, women-owned store! I highly recommend this wonderful salon.

  • Jennifer Avril

What a lovely experience and I got a terrific haircut. Diane listened to what I wanted, gave me an excellent and contemporary curly cut and was a pleasure to talk to. Everyone at the salon was friendly. Two friends have already asked me for a recommendation here which I happily gave. A++

  • Nylah Bent

Do not make an appointment with them if you have a birthday or important event they cancelled after confirming my appointment and left me no time to book another stylist or offer another time that worked for me, horrible business practice so disrespectful inconsiderate and selfish!

  • Stephanie de Zengotita

I had a great experience at Union Beauty. Jon was so professional- he really listened to the haircut I wanted and I’m so happy with how it came out. Everyone that works there was so nice and it made the whole atmosphere really comfortable. I would absolutely recommend Union Beauty!

  • Ruthie Dreyer

Russel is an artist and an excellent human. I always leave happy with my hair and have an excellent conversation with him! Very skilled hairdresser whether you’re looking for a cut or color, Russel will not disappoint. He takes detailed notes and is really invested in his clients!!

  • Talia

Absolutely obsessed with the cut and color of my hair. Russel is such a joy to talk to throughout my appointments and the staff is so sweet. They’ve also taken it upon themselves to provide a clean work environment during this pandemic. Thank you so much for the excellent service!

  • Anne Feigus

You can’t go wrong with this salon. They are extremely well-organized and professional and their COVID precautions are impressive and reassuring. Ebony is my go-to stylist. I had my second appointment with her today for a cut and highlights. I couldn’t be happier with the result!

  • Marie Bonsergent

First time at Union Beauty, and I'm both happy with the result and my experience. Russel was very welcoming and efficient. He made sure he understood what I wanted, and even did a few suggestions to enhance my initial demand based on the shape of my face. I will go back.

  • Tracie Phillips

If you have long or curly hair, you must see John! He gave my hair new life. I have waist length curly hair and he absolutely slayed it. He left my length, only cutting what was needed, and shaped the rest. I can finally wear my hair down and it looks great! Thanks John!

  • Elisabeth Martin

Every haircut I receive at Union Beauty is extraordinary. Angela, the owner of the salon and the hair stylist who cuts my hair, is the most talented hairdresser I have ever met. Even during this pandemic, each time I come for a haircut is a wonderful and safe experience.

  • sarah edwards-schmidt

Betina is my favorite hair stylist ever, and it was great to be back in the salon to get my shaggy mane spruced up after not having a professional hair cut for over a year due to Covid. She is talented, creative, and warm, and Union Beauty is a wonderful place.

  • Karen Brown

A world class pro experience with Russell on my really hard to nail strawberry red hair. He nailed it first time. My hair color is now better than my natural but still looks like a color found in nature. If there was a super excellent option I would click it.

  • tiffany

Lovely experience, and Diane rocks. She took my hair from virgin stubborn dark brown to a neon orange, and I get so many compliments. Everyone is so friendly here, and there’s absolutely no pretentiousness or snobbery which I’m used to at most salons in NYC.

  • Hannah Deschaine

Cassie is just the best! I always leave feeling great about my hair and like I just had a great chat with a friend. I'm so sad she is leaving but trust that she is leaving me in good hands. The covid precautions were awesome- I felt so safe! Thank you all!

  • Nesta Kathryn Alexander

My hair is now lightened, refreshed, completely gorgeous! So, so pleased!! I had a great time chatting with Ebony, David, and Jon. Couldn’t be happier. Everyone was super safe (covid), everything was smooth and timely, and just so nice. Great work!!!!!!

  • Sandy Chen

Absolutely lovely experience! I got one of the best haircuts in my life. Jon was not only skillful but so friendly. I felt 100% safe while in the salon, cleaning and preventative protocols were impeccable. Thank you and I look forward to return soon!

  • Hong Nguyen

I’ve been coming to this salon for years and I have always been more than happy with my experiences. My stylist Ebony is incredibly talented and always goes above and beyond to make me happy. The entire staff is always warm and friendly as well.

  • Brooke Qualman

Union Beauty has been five stars before and after the start of covid. Everyone there is so kind! Laurie is a wonderful stylist who always makes me feel like a new person when I leave. David is always all smiles when guests arrive. All staff

  • Yelena B

Today was my first time at this salon. Place is ok, on the small side, clean. Staff were nice and friendly and my stylist was very nice and tried to give me the platinum blonde that I asked for, but the double process turned out to be a big

I always have such a blast when I come to Union Beauty! My stylist Ebony is the best, and I am so happy with my hair every time! The whole team is very friendly and the service is amazing. I am already looking forward to my next appointment!

  • Lee Lawrence

First haircut in almost a year and a half, and I could not have been in better hands. Russel listened to my incoherent description of what I thought I wanted, asked questions and then suggested a hair cut and got out his scissors. I wanted

  • Fiona Corcroran

Absolutely horrible experience. I received the worst haircut of my life, was charged 100 dollars, and when I can back to ask them to possibly touch it up, after spending that much on a haircut you want to be happy about it, I was met with

  • Jillian Low

I got my hair cut by Russell last week for the first time, and it was a wonderful salon experience. The knowledge, insight, and communication from the start put me at ease, and the finished product was perfection. He clearly knows what he

  • Elizabeth Distante

Fabulous constantly recommending to friends! I’ve had my hair cut by 2 different curry specialty stylists. Recently got highlights, I was very nervous, my first hair coloring experience- exactly what I wanted and perfect tone. …

  • Karishma Vyas

I love getting my hair cut with Bettina. She’s very particular about making sure she understands what you want and even inquires if there was anything about your last haircut that you didn’t love. I can’t recommend her highly enough!

It was wonderful going to a salon during Covid who has such amazing rules and safety procedures. Because of these things, I truly felt safe and relaxed during the appointment. Plus I got a much needed, amazing cut! Highly recommend

Went to Union Beauty Salon for the first time this week and got a great haircut from Ebony. I really like this small, charming, unpretentious, and friendly salon and intend to keep going there. I'm so glad to have discovered it!

Fantastic experience! Laurie really listened and thought through the right hair cut for me (and I have thin, fine hair - very hard to cut well). I am so grateful for the dialogue we had, and looking forward to continuing it!

Always happy and relaxed after a visit to Union Beauty. It took me a few years after moving to the city until I found someone who can work magic with my curly hair. Now I always look forward to a cut and style with Jon.

I was very happy with my experience at Union Beauty. I received a color service from Jill and am pleased with the results. As far as New York prices go, their services are affordable, and their staff very welcoming.

I just got a hair cut with Ebony! Could not have been sweeter to me. She listened to what I wanted and most importantly tailored it to my face shape and hair needs. Would highly recommend the salon. …

Laurie is the BEST; I’ve been going to her for years. She gave me a delightful curly bob, no easy feat as my hair is very thick. I absolutely adore my new haircut and will always come back for more!

Ebony gave me the best blowout of my life for my wedding!!! have incredibly flat hair that she was able to make voluminous for the entire day. On top of that she was such a joy to spend time with.

Jill did an excellent job of cutting and dying my hair! The layers are blended so nicely, and the pink is exactly what I wanted. If I was staying in New York I'd come back constantly. Thank you!

Jon did really great and I left looking good and feeling good after getting my first haircut in three years! Super talented and professional all around. Will certainly return for the next one.

Amy speaks my hair language. I come in trying to explain myself and my crazy hair and she understands and gives me the most amazing cut. She is also one of the nicest people you'll ever meet.

Excellent experience. As a walk in visitor to Brooklyn, I was a bit nervous but my stylist Jill was the best. Friendly, professional and amazing hair care-cut and blow out. Highly recommend!!

Laurie's cuts always make my hair look great. I have very curly, somewhat frizzy gray hair and she makes it look great with little effort needed on my part. I wholeheartedly recommend her.

Ebony did amazing work! Plus she’s extremely kind, lovely person . I hadn’t gotten my hair colored for 9 months because of covid and was super anxious. She made it totally worth it!!!
