Medusa Salon

Mari is the best, hands down!!! she did the best blue highlights on my hair after I had to go back due to me being no so happy with the first stylist that did my hair unfortunately, but it worked out and she took her time and re did the entire look for me!!! I will go back soon =) Very happy with end results

Mari is the best, like THE BEST! I live in Staten Island and had a very hard time finding a salon that could do mermaid hair. I was told to try Medusa Salon and when I called them I knew I was on the right track. They told me to come in for a strand test and Mari worked her majic. I’ve been coloring my hair black with box dye, somehow she lifted all of the color. She asked when I wanted to come in and offered me an appointment later that day. She took her time with my hair and made sure to lift as much color as she could but without risking my hair. She was honest and helpful, telling me which colors would work best and which I should hold off on. The color is so vibrant and this is the first time in forever that I love my hair. The staff is lovely and makes you feel so comfortable, I can’t wait to go back!

I was cautiously about booking an appointment at Medusa. I’ve tried other salons in the neighborhood and walked away pretty bummed. Tara, however, was wonderful and gave me exactly the cut I wanted. She was on board with what I wanted from the get-​go, offered suggestions that turned out great and was just a really nice person. The salon is cute, their shop dog is even cuter. I will be headed back, no question.

I haven’t had my hair cut in NY since I moved here last year as it’s so freaking expensive, but I finally bit the bullet. Mari was so nice to talk to and did an incredible job giving me a cut that will grow out well and has beautiful movement/​layering for my wavy hair. I seriously felt like a movie star. It came out to $ 84 which is still high, but it’s seriously the best cut I’ve had in years. Also, I love the décor, the music, and the adorable shop dog Charlie. I will definitely pinch my pennies and come back to see Mari in the future.

Got my hair cut by Starr and he’s AMAZING! This guy gave me a cut that was so perfect for my hair that every day was a great hair day, I didn’t need the arsenal of products I purchased in the past because of a bad haircut. After so many years of asking stylists for a «shag» and walking out of the salon with layers that were way too long, Starr really took the time to consider the shape of my face, the texture and natural curve of my hair and I walked out of there with a shag that framed my face perfectly! And the first two bang trims are free… can’t beat that!!!

These people have no sense of aesthetics. They cut bangs for me which were so narrow they barely cleared my eyes. I haven’t cried about a haircut since I was one and a half years old.
So I conferred with my mother and sister, and they marched me back to have the cut improved. It was not much of an improvement.
They are, however, aptly named. Medusa’s coiffure made people run in the other direction. So should you.

MJ is the best stylist ever to have cut my hair in all 31 years I have been alive I can safely say that she is a true artist. I cut my hair short yesterday, after having long, long beautiful locks for nearly 8 years. I actually never thought it would look good short and it has never looked good short until she cut it. I recommend MJ and this salon to anyone who is looking for a trim, a new color or just a new ‘do all together. Ten thousand thumbs up.

Tess is amazing, got my hair color changed into dark red and I love it! Super friendly and nice service, will definitely recommend to my friends!

I’ve wanted pink hair since being a teenager. While younger and living under moms roof, pink hair wasn’t an option. As I got older, working in the real world became a barrier to my pink locks, as well. Now at 26, working as a personal trainer, I am afforded the luxury of doing what I damn please with my hair. So, I spoke to a client of mine and she suggested that I go see Mari at Medusa Salon.
Mari was fabulous. Even though my hair required bleaching before it’s bright pink pigment, my hair feels healthier than before I dyed it. She payed careful attention to the bleaching process, making sure not to cause damage. The color is bright and wonderful and extremely bold. I love it. The cut has a lot of natural texture, which is awesome because I’m not one to spend loads of time styling my hair. Also, it’s worth mentioning that Mari has an awesome personality. I was at the salon for quite some time throughout the entire process and she def engages you with banter and good conversation. Whether or not I stay pink or decide to go purple or back to blonde, I found my hair stylist. I will not be going to anyone else.

I haaaaaaate this place. My hair is honestly one of my favorite things about myself it’s super straight, thick, I’ve got a ton of it and I’ve been growing it out for some time now, so it hits my lower back. I usually do a lot of research before picking a place and I just randomly decided to go here because 1. I was feeling too lazy to go into the city 2. I didn’t want to spend 350+ on my hair 3. Really /​how/​bad could they mess up my hair, they seemed decent enough… Pretty bad, they could mess it up pretty bad. Jamie Starr did the deed. I’ve had a green ombré for about 2 years now and through the trims it was pretty much completely grown out by this point so I wanted to get it touched up (which would mean bleaching a new portion amd then dying it over), a trim, and a diamond shaped undercut from the nape up.
He started with the undercut, I should’ve ran out when he started because he did not brush nor part my hair properly, didn’t pin it down, but rather asked my to hold it down, which I’m so not against helping my hair stylists I’ve totally folded over foil and those little paper thingies for then gladly, but I’m really upset by it because it was way off. It was off center, the peak is off to the right and the angles don’t start at the same level, and he didn’t shave it down, I’m assuming cus he messed up and didn’t want it to seem so obvious. Later I got my roommate to shave the part he cut down and we saw how really truly bad it was and instantly regretted it.
He then started to bleach my hair, and was super sloppy and careless. I have random patches in my bangs that got bleached so it looks like I have spots, that’s not at all a big deal compared to what upset me the most. Which was the fact that he completely fried my hair. I was sitting in my chair waiting for him to come back, which he let me sit in forever, when he finally came back he opened up the foils and was like «Oooh, its steaming that is like so cool!!» For real??? My ends were super crunchy and along the area that got bleached my hair is now super brittle and and that weird elastic texture you get when it’s over processed. This is what got me the most, before this I wouldn’t get any knots in my hair, I hardly ever needed to brush it, now I can’t get a brush, let alone my fingers through it when I’m rinsing conditioner out. It also dries with this inconsistent waviness now on the portions that were bleached. This is 13+ inches of that beautiful, beautiful length I’d been growing out for years, it’s kind of a big deal to me.
I will be honest and say he did a pretty good job dying it, they rely a lot on manic panic here which isn’t my favorite, I really like pravana. Despite that, the color came out sick, that really isn’t enough to make up for completely wrecking the health of my hair though… also I’ve never had a blow out where they didn’t put product in my hair, at the very least heat protectant until I came here. Which you’d think you’d really want to do after bleaching it to death, but who knows.
After that he trimmed it, and missed a bunch of strands so it was super irregular.
I will say everyone was super duper nice but I would much rather go somewhere with rude stylists/​receptionists who actually do a good job. If you’re still gonna take the gamble and come here do it with something that has a low risk factor and maybe with a different stylist.

Came here for standard post breakup «need change» hair color. I made an appt around 11am. I showed up promptly at 2pm where I was greeted by the lovely Camille. I showed her what I wanted and she tweaked my hair just a bit so that I got amazing color and didn’t end up looking like a department store mannequin. Overall it took 7 ½ hours to turn my dark brown hair to as my hair stylist called it «mermaid hair» and let me tell you it was worth every penny. She took the time to make sure it really came out the way I wanted it, even giving me snacks along the way. I look forward to coming back for re-​color and an even more welcoming stylist.

Go to Patrick! I found Patrick here on Unilocal and am so glad I did! I have now been to him 3 – 4 times for color and cut and he did exactly what I asked for every time. The color is not too dark and not too light — and he didn’t try to sell me on a hairstyle. I’m so happy with him and the salon. Besides, he’s funny and a really nice guy to talk with too. Go!

I was a hair nightmare before I wandered in, after several at home ‘experiments’. I was given a same day appointment on a Saturday in warm, non hat, weather! I am picky about who I allow near me with scissors but I could tell by the trendy staff they knew what to do. I saw Patrick, and I hope to see him again. He was someone I felt I could relate to, someone in my age range with fun insights and things to talk about. The décor is all pinup and cool too. The time flew by quickly and I was astonished at my perfect new haircut! I did not have to pay $ 500, to have some über conservative and disappointing flatiron experience like most NYC salons, afterall. Super inexpensive, super cool, super quick, and most importantly, I LOVE MY HAIR!

I’ve been getting my hair cut by Tess for a few years and she’s fantastic. It’s officially the longest relationship I’ve ever had (with a hairdresser). I’ve had a lot of bad experiences with other hairdressers not giving me what I asked for but Tess is always right on the money. She moved away for a while but now she’s back in NYC and I’m thrilled that I don’t have to find somebody new to cut my hair anymore. Plus she’s fun and easy to talk to, like hanging out with a friend for 45 minutes… a friend you trust with scissors near your eyes.

Where do I begin? I’ve been looking like crazy for a hair salon that won’t charge be close to $ 500 just to be a blonde. I started out with highlights that was done by my friend and then stopped because we weren’t in touch anymore. So I went out and looked for a salon that would make me blonder and I liked my hair but it wasn’t as light as I wanted. I wanted that barbie blonde. Finally I came across Medusa salon and I read the great reviews and I was sold! I gave them a try and they did not disappoint!
Anyway, my stylist was Patrick and I really love how my hair came out. I wanted an Ashy/​white blonde but it just came out the perfect blonde which is better than what I wanted because I’m probably not confident enough to rock the khaleese hair yet.
Unfortunately, the second time I went for a touch up Patrick wasn’t there. I got the chance to meet another great stylist, Brittany. She’s the one who does my hair now and I hope she never leaves the salon because she’s amazing and has great customer service.
I am %100 sure that I will be going back to Patrick for a root touch up.

Starr and I bitch about life, terrible roommate situations, and a longing for beachfront property. Then he makes me look like a champ.
For reals… I look damn good. $ 59 for a men’s haircut and really worth it, kids.

Local brooklyn hairdresser. Terrible hair dye job. At first I was going to be charged for screw up by hairdresser. I called the owner and she set me up for a comp. they might do cuts well but do not go here for color. You will regret.

I’ve been in twice now to Medusa to see Brittany. I am horrible about finding stylists I’m comfortable with and am super happy to have found Brittany.
My first time in was to trim and shape to my wavy curls –the cut is growing out great and free bang trims are such a bonus!
Second time in was for balayage highlights which she suggested to help blend my grow out. I love it! Great suggestion and affordable.
I will definitely be back :)

I just moved to 7^th Ave in Park Slope and wanted to get a quick trim somewhere close and convenient. I scheduled online which was easy and painless (no credit card needed) and arrived for my early 9am Saturday cut which worked well for my schedule.
The salon is cute, kinda funky. The receptionist/​shampoo assistant (I forget her name, sorry dear!) was super sweet and my stylist Patrick was laid back and delivered a good cut. I also really appreciated the competitive pricing. Patrick priced my trim (no blowout) at $ 50 before tax and tip. I will happily return in two months!

My appointment was with Britney! She was very nice, on time, and gave me great advise. I was looking for a change of look since my hair was starting to look bla and boring. She asked a lot of questions and suggested some options. I am very happy with the result and the service provided. Everyone in the salon was nice, it’s a very funky and unique place and I enjoyed my appointment. Definitely coming back.
