Foilz Salon

Marcy did a wonderful job fixing a disastrous haircut and color I had done elsewhere — she also did a wonderful haircut for my husband — first time hes been happy with his cut in a long time.

I got my hair blown out a few days ago by the academy stylist I absolutely loved how it turned out. Service was great and the salon is sparkling clean. I only live a few blocks away from the salon. I’ll definitely be coming back soon for a hair dye.

I wouldn’t recommend this place for men.
I was tired of my regular barber and cheap haircuts were doing nothing for me so I thought I’d try out a salon. It was a mistake coming here. The place gets two stars because all of the employees were nice, offered me coffee, took my coat. I could not justify giving it more than that, though, because I paid $ 45 for four haircuts and was only satisfied with one.
The first time I went in there I should have known not to come back. First of all, they kept me waiting for 45 minutes just while they figured out which one of them was going to cut my hair. They eventually settled on a woman named Sam, who was among the many women doing nothing for 45 minutes while I waited.
Sam’s haircut would have been good, but I had a major problem with the way he cut my part (she completely ignored where I told her I parted my hair even though I told her twice and also was fairly demonstrative with my hands where exactly I part it). As a result, I paid $ 45 for what looked like an above-​average supercuts haircut.
Still I went back in a second time which actually turned out pretty decent after I told Sam, this time with much urgency in my voice, where exactly I part my hair so that she could get it right this time. She did a good job which is why I went back a third and fourth time hoping that she could replicate this. One time Sam wasn’t there and Marcy cut my hair. She did a better job than Sam. I probably should have gone back to her. But I went back a fourth time and Sam butchered my hair again. So I’m done. For $ 45 for a hit-​or-​miss haircut? I don’t think so.
All of that said. The women were very nice and it looks like they really know how to cut women’s hair here. This review is only from a man’s perspective — stay away.

Hands down the best cut and style I’ve ever had. And continue to have. People stop me on the street and want to know where I get my hair done. Marcie is incredible. She listens and is so skilled and professional. I can’t belive I found this jewel on 3^rd Ave. I can’t recommend this salon enough. Phone staff is super helpful and accommodating and the shampooh devine!

Foilz is definitely my new go to salon! Danielle was great and everyone is so friendly! A beautiful relaxing atmosphere and stylists that really listen to what you want and the prices are very reasonable.
I came in last minute on Friday before Valentine’s Day to get a blow out, I have long really curly hair and usually end up with the stylist tearing through my hair into a puff of frizz before making it smooth and manageable, or just ironing it completely flat. I spoke with Danielle about how I wanted curls and some bounce and she said she could do that as she blew it out and if I still wanted more curls she could add more with a curling iron (although that would have been an additional $ 20 or so), however once she got going I knew it would be perfect as is. My hair was never a puff ball of frizz, she used the round brushes to hold the curls in place before pulling it all out at the end and did it all in 45 minutes! A blow out was $ 27, a steal since the cheap Asian places charge me $ 25 and don’t get as good a curl that stays in! I’m now on day four and my hair still looks fabulous! Thank you Danielle!

I had this phobia of cutting my hair. Jen was absolutely amazing. She does pretty much all of my friends hair and I love everything from her color to her cuts and her styling. My hair was a few inches above my butt but it was DEAD! My hair feels so silky and I can actually run my fingers through it now. Thanks so much Jen!

Never disappointed. I’ve been going to Veronica for 5 years already and she always does my hair perfectly. She has cut and dyed my hair and it always looks great. Highly recommend her as well as the other dressers. Professional place!

Danielle and Jen are two of the best hair colorists I’ve ever had. They take their time and really try to give you what you want, so you leave a satisfied customer. I had my wedding party get styled there, and everyone look so great.

Foilz is a great salon! I go in often for blow outs, cuts and color with Jen A. She is a miracle worker… she has taken my hair to so many different levels– Blonde, Red, Dark Brown, back to highlights, and it always looks healthy and gorgeous. Whenever I leave I feel like the best version of myself. Everyone is friendly and gracious. The prices are reasonable– especially for a salon in Bay Ridge. I highly recommend this salon!

I went to Foilz for the first time and got my base touched up and cut. I saw Samantha, a sweet, professional and personable young lady. She took about 5 – 10 min to assess my hair color, damage, cut and talk about what I was looking to achieve. You could see how intent she was on doing her job to the best of her ability and how interested she was to understanding what I wanted. The process began immediately (I went on a Thursday morning — 30 min after I called I was in the chair). During the application process, Samantha was checking the color, carefully applying it and running it through. 45 min later I was getting washed and ready for the cut. I had severe «chemical bang» — her cute nickname for the damage done by a local high end salon where I paid a small fortune for the damage). I could see she was a real natural. The finish result was incredible. Bouncy, shiny and healthy hair — despite the chemical bang. She blended it to perfection that it was no longer even noticeable. I must add that I am a real snob when it comes to salons and I have high standards. I went there on a whim
to kind of hold me over for a future appointment that I had made for Danka Planka (a high end salon recommended by In Style). Needless to say, I canceled that appointment last week and made an appoiintment to see Samantha again next week. She is awesome and an added perk is she is probably half the price. It is now a month later, and just got another compliment on the CUT AND COLOR today. For the first time in a long time, found someone who listerened, didn’t take advantage and actually see a RIdiculous improvement in the health of my hair. she just gets it.
Also, must add was given a business card and get 20% off if I refer someone AND The salon mailed me a ‘welcome coupon“
for 20% off next cut and blow dry as a «thank You». Must say — love that for a change too!

I always go to Danielle, but Jen and the rest of the girls (and Bob!) have always been really friendly and make me feel amazing. My color comes out great every time, and they are always good at recommending new products and letting me know when i do and do not need a cut (not out for the $$, just for the quality!)
I would totally recommend them if you are looking for great color and a mood boost!

This review is for my aunt, who went to Foilz for highlights and walked out with one color, after spending $ 250. Veronica was the one worked on her hair, and she couldn’t even blow her hair straight. I would not recommend this place at all.

i have never been so loyal to a salon as i’ve been to foilz. big shout out to danielle who is the best hair dresser and colorist i’ve ever had. i CONSTANTLY get pull aside and asked who does my hair.

I went to foilz salon on Saturday afternoon.
I wanted a cut and a color.
I asked for a color similar to my natural color with blond reflects, I got a color with red reflects, which ended up being nice.
I thought the price was a bit expensive (it ended up costing close to $ 200) and the cut had nothing special to it.
The whole process took 3 to 4 hours.
At the end I gave a generous tip to the colorist and the hairdresser, I did not know I had to give a tip to the person who washed my hair as well and she made an angry comment.
I am not from the US (which they noticed by my accent) and I was very embarrassed, I don’t think I will ever go again.

Happy with the cut and color, not the wait though. 4 hours for a cut and single process color. Good but not good enough to spend a whole day waiting, they are hairstylists not doctors. Plus I was ignored for 40 MINUTES after I arrived. Veronica is unprofessional and acts like she is cutting hair in her house. I would only recommend if you have a lot of patience.

Veronica took my brown hair to a gorgeous blonde with golden highlights for less than two hundred dollars.
I was hesitant at first because with all the salons in the neighborhood i feel they don’t get talked about much but I had a fantastic experience!

I was concerned that there were only two reviews of this salon, but since it was in the neighborhood and I was desperate for a cut and color, I figured I would check it out.
Veronica was my stylist and she was fabulous. She did a dramatic red on me, and after the first wash it was too bring and crazy, so she and her assistant put some toner on my for 15 minutes and BAM! A super sexy and luxurious red. She gave me a long bob cut that framed my face very well. Great blowout and styling as well, my hair looked like it had had a gloss treatment done.
But why the five stars you ask? Aside from the fact that my hair can be tricky to color for any stylist the first time, the price tag was unreal:
$ 105 FOR A CUT, COLOR, AND BLOWOUT!!!
Come on people where else are you going to find that in NYC?! Also, the assistant who washed my hair gave me the best scalp massage I’ve ever had. Make sure to bring cash to tip, you’ll want to tip very well!!!

I’ve been coming to Foilz for almost 5 years. Marci is my girl! She’s amazing. She does exactly what you ask and does a great cut each and every time. You can safely ask her to get creative and you can be certain to come out looking spectacular. Want a dose of wild or straight «glam»? Schedule with Marci… and in the event Marci is booked, I’ve had a few of the other stylists fill in and never had a problem.

I’ve been going here on and off since I was 19. They’ve made me a redhead, a blonde, a brunette with highlights, you name it. I’ve been to top Manhattan salons and were disappointed in some, happy with others, but I always go back to Foilz. Why? Becuase a full head of natural-​looking, flattering highlights is only $ 110, that’s why. It’s hard to find a Brooklyn salon that gives good color — and by good, I mean non-​streaky, non-​yellow or white, natural looking highlights.
It sucks that blowouts are not included in the price, but for color that cheap (and good), I’m willing to pay the extra $ 30. I used to see Anna (she successfully and beautifully made my medium brunette locks a golden blonde that flattered my skintone) but I dont think she’s there anymore. I now go to Helen for my highlights, and I’m a happy camper.

Foilz is right around the corner and I was feeling adventurous, so I made an appointment for a cut.
The receptionist was nice enough when I arrived, offering me a cold Aquafina and chatting with me a bit. As I waited… and waited. There was only one hairstylist around, cutting one woman’s hair. I was baffled… surely Foilz doesn’t employ only one hairdresser. Even though the place was practically empty, I waited for nearly an hour!
When it was finally my turn, I told my hairdresser that I wanted a razor cut. She responded curtly, «Oh, I don’t do that.» Um, what? To her credit, though, she did a very nice job on my hair regardless. But $ 55 was steep for this hair experience. I’m hoping I caught Foilz on an off day. But I probably won’t go back to find out.
