The boutique salon gives an intimate VIP experience. The store is beautiful and elegantly decorated, super clean and chic. The stylist has an unique gift to understand my needs and bring the best of myself, her cut boosted my self confidence and I feel so special as well as so authentic. It’s truly a gem.

I've been here once for a blowout with owner Ronnie, and more recently for a haircut with Phillip. Both booked through ClassPass, both fantastic. The blow out left my hair smoother than it'd ever been, and the haircut was one of the best I've had. Booked it on a whim. Phillip is a really talented hairdresser and all around really nice guy. Took his time—the cut lasted an hour and a half—and gave me the super precise bob I was looking for. He works at the salon Monday-Friday, and I highly, highly recommend getting your hair cut with him.

I had probably one of the best hair cuts of my life here. I had my hair cut by Kim, the sweetest lady, who even though there was a language barrier, constantly checked in with me on lengths throughout the cut. I asked for a lot of layers without sheering because I like to keep the thickness of my hair. I also asked for wispy bangs and when I say she ATE and left no crumbs I mean it. I highly recommend you check this hair salon out.

Heard about Bao through a friend. Philip cut my hair and did an incredible job. They use good products (Oleplex and Moroccan Oil) and prices are very fair— around $100 plus tip for haircut and blowout. Philip did just as good a job (if not better) than the $250 place I used to go to. 10/10 recommend.

Just got a haircut here and I’m really happy with the results. The stylist listened to what I wanted and delivered exactly that — my hair feels fresh and looks great. The price is fair, especially for the quality of service. It’s so nice to have a place like this in Cobble Hill. I’ll definitely be coming back.

They listen, and gave me the haircut I asked for. Pleasant. Accommodating. Price is a tad on the high side for was, cut, blowout... would definitely go again.

Been getting my hair cut here for the last year and always have had a good outcome and a great experience. They also styled my hair for my wedding and were so generous when I came in for the trial - they let me try both a down style and two different updos to make sure I was really happy with how it looked. Honestly, I am one of this people who is never happy with how my hair is styled for an event, so I expected this to be the same, but I really loved how my hair turned out!
