Farah’s Hair Studio

Another awesome visit at the salon. Been going there for over a year now and always leaving beyond happy. Not a single negative! Always kind, professional, very patient and looking out for me, my best look and condition of my hair. Love it! Thank you one over and over! See you soon

I just had my first haircut with Farah. I couldn’t be happier. A charming, lovely Woman who asked many questions before, during and after the cut. I left the Salon and went into the Brooklyn Market next door and within 5 minutes, was complimented on my haircut. Thank You Farah!!! Reasonably priced at $ 35 for a short cut. Warm and welcoming salon and no wait!!! Awesome!!! I feel lucky!!!

You can’t always go by other people’s experience. I highly doubt and do not believe the last two recent reviews were a true event. With that being said, I would like to share my own experience at Farah’s Hair Studio with my fellow Unilocalers!!! I’ve been a client of Farah’s for well over two years and I’m not going anywhere. The reason I have been a true customer is for many reasons… I’ll break them down randomly. There’s no difficulty scheduling an appointment. Farah’s Hair Studio is open 6 days a week! Second, I know I’m going to see a Professional who has the education, knowledge and experience to have a successful business with her clients. Her salon is very clean and organized. You are always greeted and welcomed with a friendly smile. I’m so comfortable and relaxed when I go because I have the confidence in her work and I trust her. Each time I go which is regularly (every 3 – 4 weeks) I know she will always give a 100% of her time and attention when I’m there, it’s the same each time, every time. Her salon is up to date with the quality of products that she uses. Her products are extremely gentle and the colors she uses are absolutely beautiful. I feel like a supermodel every time I leave! It only took that one initial visit two years ago that changed everything for me. I receive compliments on my hair daily and I can’t help but send all my appreciation and gratitude back to Farah’s Hair Studio!!! She is consistent with her work and that’s what is so important to me and that keeps me going back. I can’t thank Farah enough. She made me love my hair again… Thank you Farah!!!

Love my hair!!! I have been getting haircuts from Farah for approx. 8 yrs and I could actually say I LOVE all my haircuts she has given me!!! She always listens and always gives me what I want! I always gets compliments from friends and co-​workers and I will continue referring everyone to Farah!!! Farah you are the BEST!!!

Wow! Another great haircut today by Farah! Have been going to her salon for over five years and have received many compliments from family, friends, colleagues and clients. Farah is a professional and serious about providing great customer service. Reasonable prices too! Need I say more? Karen B

How??? How do you not listen to your client when she tells you she understands her own hair and tells you how to apply heat. my hair is very thin, it can get really curly but it can get really straight when blow dried. You cannot work or own a hair salon and not know different hair textures. Please listen to your clients I do my own hair I just needed a cut .I style and dry hair myself and have worked with lots of hair textures. You people honestly need to LISTEN to your clients. I was so upset when I walked out after paying… because yes I payed her for the services for wasting my time and hers after all that she didn’t offer any discount or accommodation. ZERO STARS IF POSSIBLE!

Zero stars. First and LAST at this salon. I went on a Sunday morning for a 10am appointment and the salon was closed. I had to wait until 10:07am when Farah arrived and opened. I requested a wash and soft curl blowout. Farah washed then blew out my hair pin straight and was ready to charge me when I reminded her that I wanted soft curls on my ends. Farah had the nerve to respond «there is something in the texture of your hair that doesn’t take curls.» She then had another girl use a curling iron on me which was not the look I wanted. I was charged for a wash & blow PLUS an extra $ 30 to have my hair curled. Other salons seem to get soft curls on my ends without a curling iron. Don’t waist your time & money.

I found this place on Unilocal and I am so glad that I did! With a cozy atmosphere and friendly workers expertly handling your hair, Farah’s hair studio is the perfect place to go to fix up your ‘do. They gave me exactly what I asked for (a blue ombré) at a reasonable price and left me feeling not only satisfied, but ecstatic with my new look! Elina did an excellent job cutting, bleaching, dying and washing my hair, and it came out looking even better than I could have imagined!
I would definitely recommend this place to a friend.

Farah may be able to cut hair good BUT NEVER EVER EVER trust this woman’s salon to dye… specifically bleach your hair. I asked for an ombré and her worker bleached half of my head all the way to the root and the other half by my ear, I seriously think she may have been on drugs. There is no way all of her workers are licensed because my hair came out looking like a teenager’s first shot at trying to do an ombré. I’m absolutely disgusted at the salon and how Farah handled the situation. Never going back here and definitely warning everyone I know in the neighborhood.

Can’t say enough good things about Farrah. I found her after reading Unilocal reviews and now I am posting my own. She has changed my style and color several times and I have always been happy with her magical transformations. She is also super sweet. The downside is that she is getting too popular! Guess that’s what happens when you are as skilled as she is!

Farah is the best!!! She’s a total perfectionist and does not let you leave without making sure you are 100% satisfied. She, herself, is very hip and on-​trend with her own style so you can trust she knows what she’s doing.
Farah and her staff are very friendly and it’s easy to start up a conversation with them. I love the small town appeal of this place and the prices are very reasonable. In a neighborhood like Bay Ridge you find so many expensive salons that don’t give half as much attention to detail as Farrah’s.
Farah did my wedding hair and it came out absolutely gorgeous. I did a retro fingerwave but my hair is long so it was a sidepart with a nice wave in the front and waves all throughout. I got so many complements.
I am going back for a cut and I cannot wait!

Farah is a wonderful stylist who truly listens to her clients. She gives you what you ask for rather than what she thinks you will like. She is professional and talented. Her salon is warm and her employees are very welcoming. The prices are extremely reasonable… my cut was $ 35 and I have shoulder length hair. She fit me in at the last minute and was easy to talk to. If you have struggled to find a great stylist in bay ridge then give Farah a try!

Very friendly people. They saw me the same day that I called. I got my hair cut by Lauren. She was really easy to talk to. She’s very professional but also very personable.

I am really bummed to leave a negative review. I had a cut over the weekend from Giana and despite the positive feedback for Farah, I will not be coming back to this salon.
1 star for the ease of booking an appointment and 1 star for being budget-​friendly.
I brought in several photos of different views of the same cut on the same person and discussed the look I wanted with Giana. It was basically a trim of my previous cut, a chin-​length bob. I walked out with a much different cut than discussed that was not well-​executed (uneven layers, stray longer hairs, and random texturizing) and a large razor burn on my neck hairline (!!!). Giana was pleasant, but I think shorter haircuts are not her strength. I will be getting another cut elsewhere soon to fix this haircut.

i usually dont care about hair cuts or where i cut my hair. The only time i do get it cut, is when the ends are too dead to even style it. i also get my hair cut by different people all the time. not loyal to one place. until now that is. FARAH IS AMAZING! this is my new go to spot, ive been straightening my hair all week instead of wearing it up bc i love the cut so much. when i walked into work, i also got a bunchhh of compliments.
when i came in to get the cut, i told Farah i didnt know what i wanted; she suggested the style and cut. Great Job!

As a medical student, my hair is falling out at an incredible rate. Thus, I am a bit limited in the amount of cash I am willing to spend on the rest of it. Im not spending $ 80 on hair that I am not sure will even be around the next month!!!
With this in mind, I searched pretty long and hard in my neighborhood for a good hair salon with reasonable pricing. Farah’s was the best deal.
My first time, I was a bit hesitant – let’s face it, its not the same modern, sparkly design that neighboring salons have. Yet, don’t be fooled by the appearance. Jackie (I have never had a cut from Farah, just coincidentally I suppose) has the most amazing talent and skills for hair. I was blown away by my first cut and styling, and got so many compliments that night.
What is the best testiment to a good cut, is that 6−8mo later, I didn’t really need a cut at all!!! All the layers fell amazingly and I still got compliments and people asking if I got my hair styled recently. I have been back several times, not because my hair has started to look shabby but because I just love the feeling of a great cut. I think this is the one place I will miss the most if I were to move away from this area.
Oh, also I think it helps to get a sense of the age, and style of hair that was cut: so I am mid-​20s, and get a long layered cut with shorter framing around the face. Think Kim Khardasian wanna-​be.

I first went to Farah’s at a friends suggestion when I told her I was unhappy with my previous salon, and I never looked back! It’s a small two chair salon where you can feel at home (unlike other more expensive salons in Bay Ridge). Both Farah and Jackie are great. I have gotten more compliments on my hair since I started going there than ever before! Haircuts are also around $ 30, so it’s really great value for all that you get.

If only I lived closer would Farrah be my regular hair stylist. Farrah cut and styled my hair which came out WONDERFUL!
Her prices are very reasonable and you get so much than a haircut. You get an amazing experience with a beautiful stylist who knows what she is doing (she has been doing it for 19 years!). I loved my cut/​style so much I had her style my hair for the wedding I was in town for. Anytime I am back in town I will definitely be paying a visit to Farrah’s salon.

I’ve been coming to Farah for 8 years, her salon is a place where you get that «small town» feeling, where everyone who goes to her comes back and she knows almost all the neighborhood. Owned and managed by Farah, she also does most of the styling, and does it very well. I love my cuts (I am a 30-​something woman) and even had her do my wedding party and keep going back even though I live away from the area now. I’ve also seen her work wonders with men and older women. Her other stylist, Lauren, is lovely, and her daughter now helps out, so it’s a family affair. Very relaxing environment, low-​key, friendly, good for children as well. Very affordable, much less that most. Highly recommended for all ages, male or female.

Farah is not a good hair stylist…
She is overrated.
When you mix extreme prices and bad hair dressing skills, you get Farah.
