Red Hair & Beauty Salon

For anyone wondering, Lisa is at the salon on the corner of Ave U and Homecrest! So is Frankie!

My 4 stars is for my one and only hair dresser Frankie! I have never gone to any other stylist at this salon. I walk in, get seated for my hair to be washed right away and usually in under 10 minutes I’m sitting on the chair about to get my hair either straightened (blow dry & iron) or curled!
You should not go to this place if you’re looking to be pampered and given champagne to sip as you get your hair done. It is an assembly line styled establishment however if you have a favorite stylist you can wait for him/​her and you won’t be let down.
The place is not appealing to the eye. If you can suck everything up and have your eye on the goal which is having your hair done (dependent on the stylist) you will walk out happy and so will your wallet.
It’s true. Getting your hair washed might as well feel like you’re standing under a waterfall… the women try to thoroughly clean your hair which includes harsh scratching and scrubbing with their fingers. they shampoo twice and then condition.
For the money you pay ($ 14 for straighten or curls) it’s definitely worth the trip to Brooklyn if you choose a good stylist. I highly recommend Frankie because he is attentive, has a great eye and he puts in energy and effort into his final product. He doesn’t rush and sometimes you will find him using two blow driers at once which I think is pretty cool! Instead of Edward scissor hands it’s Frankie blow drier hands!
Don’t expect to talk much to any of the employees.
There is one small bathroom in the back.
I usually tip 1 – 2 $ to the woman who washes my hair and I can’t help but give 7 – 9 $ to Frankie because he really does a wonderful job every single time!

Always got great color, highlights, cut and blow out for $ 85! Yes! My favorite is Frankie but recently I heard he’s no longer there! So maybe I’ll update my review after I go today again.

I have been going here for years ! I love the amazing blowouts that do not cost so much. Lisa left and I am really hoping to find her=(if anyone has any leads about a new salon she might be working in please message me !

DOES ANYONE KNOW WHERE LISA WENT??? SHES NOT THERE ANYMORE AND WAS THE BEST!!! Please email me at
If you know where she is. In regards to the salon – for the price it’s great – least expensive haircut I ever got and Lisa was amazing. Was there today and Linda not nearly as good :-(

For a $ 12 blow-​out, I’m willing to deal with a face/​neck wash every time I get my hair washed. I also am willing to deal with their obnoxious staff who think they’re doing you a favor by doing their job. Now what’s NOT worth any penny is the frustration post washing your hair when you realize there is no line structure but rather a guessing game whether u will get your hair blown out today or not.

I have short asian hair here a while ago and I wanted to try a new hair salon for once. I didn’t think there was a way to mess up a hair cut if you had short hair… I was wrong. The haircut was rushed. I felt that they were trying to do more haircuts per hour while neglecting the client’s feelings of how the haircut would end up. The haircut looked horrible. It was a $ 10 haircut, you get what you pay for.

This salon is one of my best kept secrets. It’s been around for the last 8 or so years, and it could definitely use some renovations to match its competitor newer and fancier salons that offer similar pricing and services… but…the hair staff hasn’t changed. Same people throughout the years… and they have experience!
Pros: Very very cheap prices, amazing color job, creative haircuts, they do a great job straightening, curling, and special events hair. They will even cut or style my clip in extensions. Really, anything hair. I see them washing and styling customers’ wigs. So, if it looks like hair and feels like hair, chances are, they will do a great job.
I’ve been to all the high end places from Frederic Fekkai to Warren Tricomi and Elizabeth Arden Spa at Saks and all these other high end super duper luxurious places. I would pay more than $ 400 for hair services.
At Red Hair I’ve never paid more than $ 70 and that includes highlights or ombré, haircut, and beautiful victorias secret cascading curls.
I always return.
Cons: Not the most sanitary of places. Kind of on the old side. Not much interacting with the hair dresser, mainly due to the language barrier.
I’ve even sent my high end mom who only goes to high end places. She had a hair emergency and trusted them to color her hair… and she really loved it.
Don’t expect fancy décor, but your hair will thank you.

My review is for Lisa.
She always cuts my hair and I wouldnt’ go anywhere else for a haircut. I pay 12 dollars for a cut, no blow dry or wash.

I’m not sure why people hate it here, but I love it here (almost).
I’ve had my hair cut here for years. It’s a cheap price, $ 18 for a wash and cut. They also do great curling jobs and straightening. I always come here before parties to get my hair done and they never let me down. It’s cheap and my hair looks great all night. Straightening hair lasts me for days and note, my hair is not naturally straight and it won’t even stay straight if I do it on my own.
However, I did give it only four stars because this salon is usually busy. There are a lot of people working here and they did expand a little bit to the left, but I’ve never had a chance to get a hair cut right away, like ever. Unless it was that one time that I went on like a weekday when no one was here. Never come here on the weekends. It’s not even worth it. You’ll be waiting forever if you’re as impatient as I am.
Make sure you know who you’re going to. Don’t say «anyone» unless there are people who are open. I always go for the lady with short black hair, I believe her name is Wei. She’s amazing and very sweet. Never disappoints me and gives me advice on what she thinks would look good for my face.
It’s a bit annoying here sometimes when it’s busy because they have kids running around and also maybe like a three seat couch by the door.
All in all, it’s a quality cut for a good price if you want to wait.

Sounds like a lot of women are very cranky here. If you want that «special» kind of service where they offer you bitter green tea and talk your head off about nonsense, obviously don’t go here.
If you want a beautiful hair cut, in and out service, a perfect blow out for next to nothing, go here!
I’ve gotten everything done from a trim to color to Japanese hair straightening for several years and I’ve always loved what they do with my hair. Not to mention I have gigantic, unruly curly hair that I was getting straightened by Dominican women for 10+ years. I thought no one would know what to do with my hair, but this salon uses TWO hair dyers at a time, not one.
I have one guy, his name is Michael, who knows me and knows what’s good for my hair. He is personable (so is everyone else, so I don’t know what people are talking about) and does a great job. The women who do the treatments are funny as hell, and nobody bothers me… I can read, text whatever. in and out in 20 minutes!
Honestly, I wouldn’t go anywhere else. Where can you beat a $ 15 blow out or $ 200 Japanese hair straightening? I don’t know about you, but I don’t have hundreds of dollars to throw around on my hair.

Listen, this place is as cheap as it gets — when I get my base color touched up and a blow-​dry and style, it’s $ 40. That’s right — FORTY FREAKING DOLLARS. When I add highlights on to that equation, it comes to $ 60. I mean, how do you go wrong with that? Yes, it’s an assembly line — it’s an Asian hair salon, and they all do it like this. They’re not very personal or «pampering» because, um, hi, you’re paying dirt cheap for services that are TRIPLE at a Russian or Italian place in the area (I was the idiot who went to a Russian salon in the area for years thinking only they could understand my hair — wrong). Anna always does my color and wash, and I think Lily always styles it — they are the nicest women to work with, they’re fast, they do the job, and they smile often. I only get my hair cut a third of the time that I go in, but they’ve always done a stellar job with that, as well, and are very attentive.
It’s not the cleanest place in the world, which is why I took off a star. But I’ve been going every two months for a couple years now and never came home with an infectious disease or lice, so that’s pretty much a win in my book.
Also, you should note — pay with cash. They have to tax with the credit card machine.

The salon itself doesn’t seem to sanitary or clean but for a quick wash and blow it gets the job done. The shampoo girls, at least the ones I usually ended up with are pretty rough unless you tell them «don’t rip my hair out of my head» then they’re fine. I always go to Lisa. She knows me and she’s always so welcoming and she always takes her time to do my hair even though for a simple wash and set I like to be in and out but I like her so much I just let her do whatever she wants plus she puts so much effort in I don’t want to be mean and rush her. She does a really good job with styling my hair. I have a layered bob and she hooks it up. Over all I go here just for Lisa. Other than that this salon isn’t anything to special. Usually Asian salons are like that. 123 and on to the next customer. They don’t really go out of their way with decorating their place and making it look nice and welcoming. Unless you’re in the city. 3 stars from me, 5 for Lisa lol.

I agree with the previous rewiews where it’s like a factory line but they do a great job in the end. This place is busy because of all the people that like the results. There are about 4 other hair salons around but this one is always busy. I did a dramatically shorter cut than usual and Lisa did a great job. I like this place and would recommend it to others.

Had two perfectly adequate experiences here, scratching my head at the dissatisfied reviews, but then again, my hair is relatively easy to tame. Ask for Lisa, she’s done a great job and I will be returning to this salon.

Highly unprofessional. Unless you are going to a specific person and tell them you are waiting for them, you will get skipped. I came in, in a hurry for a wash and dry and got skipped by 3 people because they came in after me and told stylists they are waiting for them. Bringing it to their attention will not get you accomodated either. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME!!! There are sooo many better salons in the area.

I loved the $ 20 haircut I got here… while, yes it is «factory» like in the sense that they go quickly and rush you through, they did a great job on my long, layered haircut. I wear my hair up most of the summer so I’m not really sure if it was cut
Also they do an outstanding blowout for 10 bucks.
i’ve never had such a fast haircut in my life.

If it is an absolute emergency, then go here, but otherwise I wouldnt. The staff does not listen, its a factory line. The last haircut I got was uneven. The only good thing is that its cheap.
