5 star reviews over two years old with old management. Confirming the reviews below. The high reviews are over two years old with the old management. The hairstylist that are good, never stay at this salon. Just read the reviews for yourself and see all the names just within the last few months, then go to the website and you'll see none of the names match. Everyone has left!!!!

I personally knew the old owners and can confirm that this salon was once a great place to go. I don't know the new owner/owners, but I have heard a lot of bad reviews about them.

If you do go to this salon for your hair, make sure you get the name and personal phone number of your stylist because if you like them, and they are good, they won't stay long.

If you are a first time client, find a different salon.

Went in enthusiastic, left utterly disappointed!. I typically go to the city to get my haircut to ensure that I don't receive a bad haircut. Since I am currently staying at home with my two kids, I needed to find a salon in Greenpoint and/or Williamsburg to get my hair cut and dyed. I went to google, typed in the area and salon and Beehive showed up with great reviews on city search. I decided to make an appointment.

TO ENSURE THAT I RECEIVED A GREAT HAIRCUT, I MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH MELANIA, THE OWNER. I FIGURED AT LEAST THE OWNER WOULD GET THE JOB DONE. INSTEAD, I LEFT WITH THE WORST HAIRCUT I EVER RECEIVED AND A DYE JOB THAT I AM DYING WHILE WAITING FOR IT TO WASH OUT. LET ME EXPLAIN...

I am not a crazy hair girl, meaning, I don't have some bizarre haircut that I need maintained. I have layers only in the front and straight in the back (or so I did). I went into the salon, asked for a trim and specifically said no layers in the back. My hair is not that thick, so if you cut layers, it only makes my hair look paper thin. A trained hair stylist would know this and I wouldn't even have to mention it. I told Melania NOT, I repeat, NOT to cut any layers in the back. I said I wanted some nice thick layers in the front to shape my face. I also said I want the color to be a shade darker than my natural color.

When she finished, I had layers all around my head and they were started at the 4 inch mark. I had hair to the middle of my back... so the layers started short. Not only that, but the layers were not symmetrical. One side of my head was 2 inches longer than the other. It was so obvious, that my husband, who cares less about hair, noticed the minute I walked in. The dye color was okay, but the dye was left on the ends too long and now my ends are darker than my roots.

How's that for a look???

Don't go to this salon if you care at all about your hair. The reviews that are positive probably came from clients with the old owners... or they are probably written by the current owner herself.

I have since spoken to mothers at the playground about this haircut and they all told me they heard the same things about Beehive.

I hope I just saved you some trouble and disappointment. It's going to take me about 2 years to grow out these layers and I won't be able to wear my hair straight for two years.

The worst cut I've ever received. I have never written a review online before but I have been so upset by my haircut that I felt like I must. I used to go to Andrea at the Beehive Salon until she moved out of town. She gave me the absolute best cuts I have ever received in my life. I have extremely straight and fine hair and she made my hair look fabulous.

I asked the receptionist for a recommendation and told her my hairtype and that I used to go to Andrea. She scheduled me with Louie. I showed him a picture of exactly what I wanted which was a simple shoulder grazing all one length bob. He acted like he could do this for me. I left the salon with the worst haircut I have ever received in my life, including the time I went to supercuts when I was thirteen. I have pieces hacked into my hair that barely graze my chin. He left me with pieces uneven in several places on both sides. He cut my bangs in layers with one piece in the center extremely short and forgot to cut the pieces on the sides. This cut is a joke. I've already had it cut again to try and fix it some. Do not go to Louie because he will not care about you or your hair. Everytime I look in the mirror I think about how much I hate my hair.

Brandi is Amazing!. Last night Brandi cut my hair and it looks great! She seemed genuinely concerned with making my hair looks great and listened to what I wanted. She also explained how to style it and suggested products without seeming pushy at all.

Amazing experience. I go to Sean and he is amazing. I just got the best haircut i've ever had. Great Shampoo and haircut for a great price. Convenient and awesome. If you just moved to BK or are looking to try a new place definitely go here!
