I have to say when it comes to trying a new salon for my men's hair cut, I get very nervous since I have tricky hair to cut..since it is fine in texture, one wrong move and you can leave me with holes, and it looking uneven. I needed to find a new Salon, so I had to take a chance. I am so Happy I gave Mousy Brown a shot! Rita did an amazing job!! She listened to what I had to say, and within seconds I was relaxed and could see she understood, and was capable of giving me what I wanted. The End result was Awesome, better than I Imagined!! fashionable, cutting edge style, but not freaky looking. Rita was also a pleasure to chat with, professional, but also friendly and fun. The Salon is clean and laid back, and it is located in a nice area right by the park. Also the price is right!! Give it a shot.

Meredith has been doing my hair for many years and I wouldn't dream of going anywhere else. I've got a whole lot of trust in her when it comes to advising me truthfully and honestly on hair issues. Last week I decided to go blond (from medium reddish brown) and she did an amazing job for me. I am 100% pleased with the results! I've also had Lacy cut my hair a couple of times and was totally happy with the results. Lacy knows curly hair! The staff are real people, friendly and down-to-earth, not an ounce of snootiness here. And the salon is very pretty and super cozy.

I got my hair done by two stylists at the salon. Both gave me great options with my hard to manage extremely curly, wild hair. Rita gave me the glam blowout of the century. It lasted for 3 days. The products they used left my hair silky and smooth. I had a cut by Chrissy and she let my locks loose! She gave me just the right layers to let the curls go wild. She took time to give me styling tips and options. I am a dedicated patron! The salon is really laid back and friendly. I felt very comfortable and loved listening to music and chatting with the stylists. You can't beat the price!

i went to mousey brown to simply get my hair trimmed and shaped. i was greeted by jen, who proceeded to be the most unprofessional hair stylist i have ever been to. as a stylist, you need to meet the customer half-way, however, i spent the entire time instructing HER on how to cut my hair. she charged me half price after cutting my hair dry bc i think she could read my disapproval and her own complete INABILITY/DESIRE to make a customer happy. bottom line, it was the most UNPROFESSIONAL experience i've had. she cut my hair haphazardly, almost recklessly, at times, and now it is a complete mess. one side of my head is thinned, the other is a giant poof. while the salon is darling, and i assume their other stylists are far more capable, DO NOT SEE JEN, she will ruin your hair.

I did an e-consult from the website first , and I got matched with an angel.
Okay, a hair angel. Works for me. It is fairly cheap as well.
Love my new color.
Pretty me.

Not recommended.
I walked in with thick wavy hair looking for a simple trim and some cleaning up and walked out with a short short cut, the sort that a friend could have done with clippers for free but instead cost me $55.
Can anyone recommend a salon where they listen and do what you ask?

I ruin my hair. They fix it.
For the price especially , this hair salon is indispensable.
Great stylists. Great products. A real classic beauty salon with expert work.
The owner is a nut for making my dry hair healthy, and I absolutely love it.
But, I'll see whomever I can get at short notice, and I always leave happy.
It's reason enough to head to Brooklyn; then I stay in the nabe for a cocktail.
Well worth the trip.

I am SOOO finished with my hundred dollar haircuts in the city. Even though it is out of my way, I'll definetly go back to see Chris at Mousy Brown for haircuts and blowouts. He spent twice the time with my hair for half the money I normally pay for a trim and blowdry on my hair. He put some nice soft layers in my otherwise flat, boring hair (mousy brown), and it really brought it to life. I'll be back.
PROS: clean,pretty, cool music, very professional
CONS: off the beaten path,no ATM nearby

Meredith is an alchemist of corrective color
By cerene13
Meredith took my medium reddish-brown hair, with its layers and layers of dye in various shades of brown, red, and lame attempts at blonde, from several years of do-it-myself home coloring, and fixed it all up so that it is now a gorgeous shade of creamy, sandy, shiny blonde - the exact shade it was when I was a little girl. There are these super-shiny highlights just from the color she used! I didn't think it was possible. I had these persistent red highlights cropping up again and again, no matter what I did, and the thought of bleaching it out had always terrified me. But I finally got up the guts to do it, and Meredith was the only one I trusted with it. She's been cutting my hair for quite some time and she's always been very honest with me when it comes to what my hair will and won't do, and any maintenance involved in something. So I knew she'd advise me against this if it wasn't a good idea for me. Well, she did it. And I was surprised at how really well it all went... she got the color to come up beautifully in only 2 steps, and in just under 3 hours. I am THRILLED!!
Pros: Real nice people, no snooty attitudes. Great atmosphere Cons: Nary a one that I can think of.

knows how to tame my wild hair
By miss1983
went to see jen last week... she has been cutting my hair for awhile now and always does a great job. i have super thick, unruly hair and i can always count on jen to tame the beast. she does a fabulous job thinning my hair out so it is manageable and always gives great blowouts! have had her do color a few times as well and am always pleased with the results. A+
Pros: left salon feeling like a super model with perfect hair

Jen is amazing!
By dandreagray
I just got home from an appointment with Jen. I LOVE my hair. I gave her a tall order - I have a massive amount of hair, and I came in with a nasty color that I wanted her to correct. She spent the better part of 3 hours coloring and cutting my hair - giving me exactly what I asked for color wise, and a really cool cut. She is also really nice to talk to, so the time flew by. I've never had such a good time getting my hair cut, and really appreciate the time and attention she was able to give my crazy hair. I would highly recommend this salon and Jen. I've been "salon hopping" for years now, but have found a home at mousey brown (and just in time for my wedding, thank god. i was afraid i would look terrible, but now I know I won't - thanks jen!).
Pros: nice people, cool atmosphere, great cut and color. Cons: none to report. happy camper.

Love the color, love the cut!
By elcelc
This was my first time going to Mousey Brown, and I had a great experience, Andrew took his time, and listened to everything I had to say. I wanted a brighter lighter blonde and he did a great job on my highlights. The last time I had them done, it was much too subtle, and I made sure to make it clear that I wanted to be a blonde, not just a lighter shade of light brown. I'm really pleased. I can't speak firsthand to the skill of the other stylists, but Andrew was great and I've heard that Rita is good too.
Pros: Comfortable ambience, excellent results Cons: Not cheap, but I guess you get what you pay for
