I have been going to Karina for over five years. Before Karina I never consistently went to the same salon. Karina made me feel comfortable immediately and did such an amazing job I went back and have gone back every few months since then. She gives me a natural blonde look by doing both highlights and lowlights. She also has helped me choose different style options to make my fine, limp hair look full and stylish without much effort. She is able to accomplish this much faster than I have experienced at other salons. While I never feel rushed, I'm happy that I don't have to spend half my day at the salon. Most amazing are that her prices are extremely reasonable, especially for Park Slope. I guess this explains why I have been a happy client for over five years!

HAPPIEST I HAVE EVER BEEN WITH MY HAIR. For those of you who are looking for simplicity when entering a hair salon and not a whole lot of needless fussing I recommend Pomona.

After having been to several salons in the Slope where there are four different people working on your hair it was finally nice to find a salon where one person takes care of you from start to finish.

After having my hair highlighted many times by different stylists I finally found Pomonas where Laurielistened and understood just how I wanted my hair to look. Laurie did a great cut . I just wanted a simple trim . My hair is long and she took off just the right amount with a little layering . Then came the highlights which honestly no one has been able to get just right until now.

At the end of the day I am one very happy customer and I will be sure to be back to see Laurie again. And just to add, Lori Is one lovely person .

With sooo many salons in Park Slope to choose from I finally found my way home.

Karina is the best!. Karina is so nice and professional.

She did my hair real nice. She was so understanding to your needs, she was like a friend but a really great hair dresser at the same time.

I would highly recommend her!!

Hairdresser is a sculptor. I've never been to Pomona, given that I live thousands of miles from Brooklyn. But, in looking up my old friend, I've found this link to her salon. And here's what I can say: Laurie was a fine-art major in college who did remarkable work sculpting a block of marble. So it's no surprise that, as her customers report, she also shapes beautiful heads of hair. She's a lovely human being, too, and has been ever since the seventh grade.

Extraordinary service. Laurie, at Pomona Beauty Sanctuary, single-handedly assuaged my biggest wedding crisis. I cold-called her after my hair/make-up options fell through at the last minute, and she managed my panic quite well. She called me precisely when she said she would, found time for me to come in for a trial within days, and adjusted her schedule to get me ready in time on my big day.

I went in for my trial knowing only that I wanted a very simple up-do and natural-looking makeup. After some discussion, she suggested a low bun that turned out to be precisely the look I wanted. On my wedding day, Laurie came in early to accomodate my schedule and even touched up my mother's hair at the last minute. We were both thrilled with the results and appreciative that the cost was so reasonable.

I cannot recommend Laurie highly enough.

Laurie is amazing!. I went to Pomona Beauty Sanctuary today to get a color and cut, and I couldn't be happier! I wanted a short, funky style, but I have a round face and wasn't sure what would flatter me. I showed Laurie some of my ideas and told her to do what she thought would look good. She gave me an amazing cut that flattered my face well, and was exactly what I wanted! She also colored it with a dark red and highlighted it with some blonde and another shade of red. I have never had such a wonderful experience at a salon! She is the best hairdresser I've ever been to in my life. I highly recommend her! You won't regret it!

mixed feelings. I went for the first time to see Karina. Indeed, she is friendly and the atmosphere is relaxed. i got low lights which were well done (alhtough not exactly what i had in mind). However, i asked Karina to cut off a little off (split ends) but insisted on keeping my long length (this hair growing has been a long a patience- demanding process). My hair was below my breast and is now a LITTLE over shoulder length! (no exaggeration).

I know hair dressers always cut more than you ask but in this case it way too much (dont care how much "it needed it"!). Would go back for coloring but not for cut.

Very Disappointed. I have frequented this salon and my first experience was positive. My hair looked great and the highlightswas perfect. The second time I went, they did a terrible job on my hair, uneven bangs, too much lowlights, too little highlights. I have decided to go elsewhere even though its convenient and the atmosphere is relaxed.

Karina is amazing!. I'm thrilled to have discovered Karina 5 years ago. I have fine, limp hair that's naturally a mousy brown color and it's never looked better! Karina is talented and flexible with hair and has a warm, supportive personality. She's always creative about varying my look when I need a change and has great ideas about what will look best for the season. And her haircuts always grow out beautifully.

Karina also did my hair and make-up for my wedding and I see her several times a year for different cuts and highlights. I love Pomona!
