New Bristle+Crème

I tried the salon because it is located near my office on Park and was pleasantly surprised when I was booked with ONUR. Not only is he an amazing hairstylist but really knows how to cut Men”s hair and listens! I have been going to ONUR for over a year now and have a standing appt every 6 weeks. Also a super nice guy that treats you like a client!
If you a guy that is looking for a great hair cut, doesnt matter if its something trendy or conservative, ONUR is your man.

Ken never ceases to amaze me. From consultation to balayage, color, and cut, i have been bloen away every time. Thanks for always keeping my hair looking incredible Ken.

I used to color my hair all the time but about 6 years ago I decided to grow it out and go with my natural color. A few weeks ago I walked by this salon and just decided to make an appointment because I was finally ready to do something different. I am so blown away by the results I absolutely love my hair! Ken is masterful and was able to give me the most natural and best looking color I’ve ever had done! Will definitely be coming back and highly recommend!

Ken is amazing! I have followed Ken from his previous salon and he is a miracle worker! My hair has never looked soo good! If you are looking for an amazing Balayage cut color whatever it is look no further and ask for Ken you will not be disappointed! He is very meticulous and really listens to what you want. Thank you Ken for always making my hair look great!

Found Bristle + Crème after reading all the great reviews — they did not disappoint. Ken did an amazing job and had an overall great experience. I definitely will be returning.

I have been following Ken all around town because he is a great stylist. Always understands what I want and makes it even better than my original idea.
This space is beautiful. The only thing I would add is either a coffee shop (which I thought they had based on previous reviews of the space) or more coffee shops in the area. Or even better, a wine bar?
Overall, a great experience, as always.

I follow Ken wherever he goes. He’s literally been my hair stylist for 14 years now, since I was 16. I have really wavy, poofy and hard to manage hair and I normally go to him for my Japanese straight perms. He’s the only hair stylist I trust. I’ve also done bayalages with him and he’s amazing at it! He will transform you with beautiful waves of color! I love his work and most importantly, he has a good keen eye for style and looks. He’s honest and will tell you if something doesn’t look good on you and will suggest something else which I’ve always appreciated. If you come to the hair salon, you must book with Ken. I promise you great results and he will probably turn into your permanent hair stylist as he has become with many other people! He’s the absolute best! I am a super picky perfectionist and if I’ve stuck with him for 14 years, I don’t think I need to say much more!

I wanted to tone down my summery balayage without extra damage. Ken did an amazing job with a darkening gloss, trim and blowout (see photos section). I couldn’t be happier and my hair is softer with more shine! Overall the salon is beautiful with friendly and attentive staff. Happy to have found a great salon so close to work

I followed Ken to this salon and he is fantastic. He’s done amazing balayage ombré for me over the past year and recently I went in to get cut off 10 inches of hair and get balayage highlights. He’s meticulous, pays attention to what you want and then gives you what you want! He’s literally the only stylist I’ve ever been loyal to!
As for Bristle & Crème, it’s a large beautiful modern salon with very very friendly staff who remembers your name throughout your time in the salon. Had amazing service here and will be back. Thanks!

Ken did such a beautiful job! I cannot stop touching/​looking at my hair. I had an ombré from a previous visit from a different salon. I came in with intentions to just tone down my hair color for the fall and to add layers to my A-​line haircut. He understood what look I was going for, and he exceeded my expectations. All I had to do was show him a picture, and voila!
Ashlei (sp?) is super sweet and friendly. She did such an amazing job washing and massaging my hair, I was so close to falling asleep. On another note, the shampoo/​conditioner that she put in my hair smells great!
I had such a lovely first-​time experience and I am so glad I found this place on Unilocal.I will definitely be seeing Ken again, and highly recommend him to anyone!

I’ve been getting my haircut from Ken for the last 5 years. In that time, I’ve referred many of my friends to him who have also become his regulars. It’s hard to find someone who can deliver consistency so when Ken told me he had moved locations, we were all sure to follow. I got a haircut here at Bristle & Crème a few weeks back and I really like this location. Super clean and spacious with friendly and professional staff.

My hairstylist Ken recently moved to this location and I couldn’t be happier! Mostly because he is SO much closer to where I work now! He saved my hair from 2 HORRIBLE dye jobs that turned my hair into this UGLY orange color. Mind you, the color that I was trying to go for was this beautiful blonde ombré. Just to give you all an idea of what I’m talking about, I literally looked like I had an orange fox sitting on the top of my head. Ken was able to work his magic and strip away that hideous orange and transform my hair into a beautiful blonde. Thankfully, that nightmare was a year ago and I can now put that behind me.
Within a year, I have gone to him for a total of 3 dye jobs. For my birthday back in January, I decided to re-​dye my hair. He miraculously turned my head of blonde hair into blonde on top and black underneath (Picture Storm from X-​men, but blonde). I absolutely LOVED it! I’d have to say that that was the hair color I loved the most.
Last month, I went back to him for another dye job and a cut. Seeing how I was finally going back to school after X amount of years and we were quickly approaching the Fall season, I wanted a new and warmer look. All I did was show him a picture of what I wanted and he was immediately able to replicate the colors. I have been on the hunt for an amazing hairstylist and I can’t even begin to say how grateful I am to have FINALLY found one who I can trust!

Onur has been my hair stylist for 2 years. Now Im giving him a first review. I would give him a 5 star. He is super nice and very patient every time I come in for hair cut. Also the new management team of this salon is getting better!

Beautiful Salon in a great location and everyone is super friendly. I originally had Nikki as my stylist but she has since left so when I arrived for my appt I met the magical, Ken. Not only does his own hair look amazing (important for trust), he is very professional and knows what he’s talking about when it comes to hair. He walked me through the color process and listened to exactly what I wanted while guiding me to make the best choices.
I also have to mention Ashli whose hair washing skills will put you on cloud nine as well as her friendly and calm personality. Also, my favorite esthetician who shapes my eyebrows into little pieces of art, every time I see her I leave feeling beautiful inside and out thanks to her skill and lovely energy.
side note: I do miss the coffee though :(

Ken is my stylist and he is amazing! I wanted a change from my brown hair with highlights, he recommended me to try out balayage. So I did and I chose to do red. I was kind of worried that the red would be dull or would have an orange tone to it. When I was done I was so in love with my hair, the red was vibrant and bright! It just came out beautifully! ! I would definitely recommend ken to everyone, he knows what he’s doing!

I have been coming to Bristle & Crème for a few years. The experience has always been great. The staff is amazing. Onur is an amazing stylist. Haircut, color, blowdry, keratin treatment — whatever he’s done has been great. Couldn’t do without Onur! Definitely recommend B+C and Onur!!!

Ken at Bristle + Crème is a hair wizard. He did a balayage on my hair and it came out beautifully. I trust him with my hair completely!

Want to get Balayage done? Ask for Ken. He walked me through everything he was doing and made me feel very comfortable. I followed him from the last place he was at, Layers in L.E.S. I always come out feeling confident about my hair and I ALWAYS get great compliments about where I go and get my hair done :). I highly recommend him! … THANKS KEN!!! — Mar

gave this place three tries– one good experience, two awful. like avoid mirrors for days awful. I liked one stylist, Nikki, who has since left the salon.
in most recent haircut several weeks ago, I was totally ignored when I spoke about my hair texture and goals (ie no short angles because I like a pony tail for working out). the stylist, tho friendly and chatty, hardly listened to me because she was eagerly raving about what she had planned for my hair. didn’t get to show my pictures I had brought for guidance.
result is an unflattering haircut that takes 3x as long to style as my hair did prior, just to get it looking decent. not cute just decent.
popping biotin while I search for a new salon.

Angela has left the salon since I first wrote this review:
Angela is incredible and clearly, all the other reviews attest to that! She listens and puts you at ease from the second you sit in her chair. She explains in depth what’s going to work, and gives advice and suggestions once she hears what look you’d like to achieve.
Chardonnay was attentive when washing my hair and applying the glaze. She asked if the water was the right temp, if she was too harsh or okay with massaging/​running hands through hair, etc.
Since the stars are based off overall experience, I knock off 1 star because I had to wait 55 minutes. However, this has nothing to do with the quality of service. They were attentive; asking if I needed anything, striking up conversation, and apologetic about the wait. However, still sucks to have to sit around regardless of patience/​tolerance.
Overall, I had a lovely experience. Even the Barista was a sweetheart! I’m coming back here for my next cut and color and perhaps for a coffee in the meantime — it’s delicious.
Worth noting: I was first referred here by my roommate who goes to Nikki and loves her.
