Tomahawk Salon in Brooklyn, NY

Love Tomahawk! No stress, great styles and fair price. I am a devoted customer and bringing in as many of my friends as possible!

I love tomahawk salon! They do such an amazing job with wavy/curly hair--consistently the best haircuts of my life. Very friendly and nice relaxed atmosphere.

Just got my first haircut here with Donna, and will absolutely be back. I have a curly pixie with shaved sides, and since my regular stylist moved out of NYC, I've been looking for someone who could bring my overgrown hair back to its normal look. I described the cut that I usually got and showed her some pictures, and Donna jumped right in with suggestions of how to maximize the growing out period and maintain the shape of my cut. She instantly made me feel at ease and like I was in good hands. As she buzzed and cut my hair, she gave me tips for taking care of my scalp and what products would work on my longer hair, but never pushed anything on me. This is why I love boutique salons -- since stylists aren't trying to make sales quotas with products, any recommendations feel genuine, and you never feel pressured to buy anything just to be polite. When I looked over my hair once the cut is done, Donna explained how she did the cut and how the growth would come back in -- this was so reassuring, since with my style of hair, a cut that looks 100% blended and clean after the appointment can often have a weird regrowth. Donna took all of these factors into account when giving me this cut -- I would highly recommend her if you're looking for an experienced stylist who knows her way around short hair of all textures. I also love how this salon does not price based on gender, rather by hair length. I've gone to many salons where a cut for my very short hair was $10-20 more expensive than one that would be given to a man, despite using the exact same tools and techniques. So seeing their pricing was very refreshing. My haircut came out to $55 before tip, which is definitely less than many cuts I've gotten in the past. The salon is *cash only.* In terms of what they are doing for protections during the pandemic, I felt very safe entering into the salon. Everyone wore masks, and there are multiple hand sanitizing stations, both in the actual salon and in the larger building. I was given a disposable cape and the stations are well spaced to give the stylists and clients plenty of room while still maintaining social distancing.

Woa. So happy I found Tomahawk. After years of botched self-cuts and salons that felt too "mainstream", I've finally found my soul salon in Tomahawk. My style has always been feminine, with a slight edge--and that is exactly what I got with Donna Rae's undercut. After showing photos of what I thought I'd wanted, Donna Rae took my hair texture, maintenance (or lack thereof), and style into consideration and led me down the rabbit hole. Presented me with a cut I felt was made for me. Thank you Tomahawk!

An amazing women owned business filled with delightful humans. My favorite salon ever and I've been dying my hair for 20+ years. I have been going to Tomahawk for a little over a year and Kristin is a straight up hair color genius. Her concepts are creative and she's taken my abused and damaged hair and brought it back to life while completely changing up the shade from blue to green to purple to orange-- whatever -- a new shade every few months. If you are looking for a place with real artistry but no pretension: this is it.
