Editorial Review for The Beehive Salon – by Karen Hudes
The Scene
Ukeleles, pin-ups and other glamorous bric-a-brac adorn this colorful East Williamsburg salon, which took over the space of a defunct beauty parlor in 2002. A purely decorative, old-fashioned cone dryer enhances the retro vibe, though the only true remnant of the salon's past is the sink, where the hair washer gives a killer shampoo massage. Tea, snacks and a house Date Book, for browsing neighborhood singles, turn a short wait into a treat.

I'm a customer of Luisa's, she really is the best. With my type of hair it's hard to get a good cut, and she does wonders with my crazy hair. Now she works at FRINGE, 248 Broome St at Delancey..it's a nice salon, and I will definitely see her there, and I'm sure plenty others will too. A damn good reason to cross the bridge in my opinion.

I went to Beehive, specifically to have my hair cut by Marlene, who had given a friend a terrific cut. I wanted a similar style -- no, I wanted the *exact same thing* (allowing for the differences in our hair type) -- and even came armed with a photograph of said friend, should my own powers of description fail me. Marlene did a beautiful job, was very personable and good humored, and gave me EXACTLY what I wanted. I'm very picky and somewhat of a control freak but I didn't even have to go into my usual spiel. It was like she read my mind. It was a truly relaxing afternoon. My only regret is not taking before and after photographs because the difference is amazing. Regarding appointments: I had one within 24 hours. Maybe I lucked out because it was summer, a weekday, before 5 pm. I was given a complimentary make-up session by Sean, who was also very nice. The music playing was groovy, the temperature comfortable. I liked the bathroom -- blue sky/clouds wallpaper. The cut cost $50. The L train $4. Very worth it. I knew about giving tips in cash from reading all the whiners here but had I not known this in advance what would the big deal have been? If I'd been short on cash I'd have gone to an ATM on Bedford Avenue, not blown a gasket. Had I more time I would have checked out the spa downstairs. My Beehive experience was perfect and I plan to repeat it. Thank you, Marlene!
Pros: Efficient and capable stylist, relaxing ambience.
Cons: None.
