Creative Hair Spa

John is the best hairdresser ever. He knows the latest hair trends and works your hair to perfection. He listens to what you want and you walk out feeling and looking fabulous. I walked out with pep in my step. SUPER HAPPY!

I have been going to creative hair for the past 4 years. It’s by far my favorite spa in not just Brooklyn but NYC as well. Their facials, massages, mani, pedis, all spa treatments basically are amazing and the women who do them are seriously so sweet and talented. I also get my hair cut there and I LOVE it everytime. I go to Stephen but I feel like everyone there is super talented. It’s nice to know when you walk in, no matter what you are getting done, you are guaranteed a great experience. Thanks creative! :)

Creative hair spa is the best salon in Brooklyn. Prices are reasonable excellent results every time, never fail. The staff are great. Free coffee, bagels and they serve wine which is awesome! Senada B is the best colorist she has the best solution always open for your suggestions and meet your expectations. I personally recommend this salon if you want best result and not spend so much this is the place to be.

I have been going to Creative since the 80’s. It was so amazing and somehow, it has gotten worst. I called on Friday just to confirm what I would pay for a trim and mentioned that I have been paying $ 35 for my haircuts, no blows. They said that I would be paying that. I go in on Tuesday and got a trim. I informed the stylist that I didn’t want to dry my hair nor any other treatment. He rushed me over to the dryers for five minutes because he was in a rush and very hungry. I went back to the chair where he proceeded to put a braid and that was that… a braid and sent me on my «merry» way. As he left to lunch, he gave the girl a red ticket. I paid $ 50 bucks… for what? I looked terrible. I didn’t have time to question them as I was running late for an event and there were others waiting to pay. I called back the next day, and the receptionist tells me she is sorry but the prices have gone up and perhaps I can come back next week and speak to the stylist about the services. Friends and relatives agreed that their services are not up to par. I have been coming here for over 30 years. WOW.

I had a bad experience at Creative Hair Spa. Worse than last time, unfortunately (yes I gave them a second chance). The woman who washed my hair was overly aggressive, got soap in my ears, eyes and pulled my hair. The person who cut my hair was only supposed to cut NO MORE than four inches. He/​She cut it 2 – 3 inches more than I said and my hair is also now uneven. I’m left with hair that is too short and doesn’t look good. He/​She also kept whipping my hair in my eyes and face while blow drying it.
Waste of time and money. It will take at least a year to grow out this horrible haircut.

I have never been 100% happy after leaving a haircut or coloring and unfortunately I’m one of those people who lives by their hair. A few months ago I had my hair bleached to achieve a lighter brown (I have dark brown hair) at another Park Slope salon, but I ended up blonde and was horrified. I tried dying it darker with boxed dye, but the color wouldn’t hold and my hair became very damaged and dull. When I came to Creative Spa I didn’t even have a hair appointment, just a free color consultation. The owner and master stylist Bibe asked me what I wanted because I could get my hair colored immediately. She was kind, honest, and showed me some of the swatches, explaining which would be best to get a shiny, darker color with natural looking highlights. Though I was also a little skeptical about this place because they had an opening for me without an appointment, so how great could this place be? Most Park Slope salons I’ve been to are completely booked if you just walked in with no appointment. The whole process to color here was fast and efficient. I didn’t wait between coloring and rinsing for a second. My hair came out exactly what I wanted-​shinier, darker with a hint of red, and very close to my original color. Have never been more happy leaving a hair salon! I think I can finally trust someone in the hair industry. Definitely coming back for future coloring and possibly cuts.

I had just gotten my hair done HORRIBLY at another location – my hair was literally half brunette at the top, then pure one-​tone blonde at the bottom. The top had random splotches of blonde here and there. It was so bad.
I went in and saw Nita. She knew just what to do and understood what I wanted. She turned my hair from a disaster into looking beautiful and feeling soft and amazing. She KNOWS what she is doing! I will absolutely go to her from now on. The salon also has a nice and relaxed vibe. It is clean, open, and all around a great experience.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Creative has been my go-​to spot for awesome hair styles, and this is coming from a guy. I’ve been a loyal client to Steven for 3 years and every single time I show up, he looks at my hair, sends me to get washed, then works his magic. He has never, ever disappointed me. Creative was also the salon that helped my wife and our bridesmaids prepare for our big day. On our wedding day, creative helped style her and her team of bridesmaid’s hair and make-​up, with all three coming out beautifully. My wife, however, came out looking better than what I dreamed of. Looking back, my wife thanks this place for helping her on what would’ve been a very stressful day. Can’t say enough good things about this place.
A tip from my wife: if you have a certian style your looking at to become your own, whether it be from a magazine or whatever, bring it in and show it to your hair specialist. 99.9% of the time, they’ll produce that exact same style.

I’ve seen Annabelle for waxing and she’s fantastic. Also had my long locks trimmed by Nida and she was wonderful.

So this was my first time at Creative Hair&Spa inside is very pretty and clean… I got a Brazilian wax from the funny and friendly Anabel! Or though this is my first time at this spa its not my first time getting a wax from Anabel. She’s always pleasant, she works fast so its very Lil pain, and precise on the work she does!!! #NoHairsLeft

I’ve been going to Creative for about 13 or so years — even when they were on the other side of 9^th street! Overall, its a great place for a simple cut, blow out, mani or even massage. Its no frills but super clean everyone is pretty nice. It almost feels like it should belong in another neighborhood in Brooklyn but I would hate if it left Park Slope. Sonata is great — I am very picky about my hair and have no concerns about her cutting or blowing it out. She wants to make sure everyone is happy when they walk out and that’s such a relief and nice change from other stylists I have had in Park Slope. Prices are wonderful!

The salon overall is clean and very upscale looking. They sell high end hair products that are amazing and do various services. The person that I had a bit of a problem with was with, I’m assuming, the manager or owner about a trim that apparently costs 35 dollars. I was then told that a trim is equivalent to a hair cut even if it’s half an inch that is being cut. I had never been charged that much for a trim before. I would remember being a loyal customer since my daughter was about 4 or 5. Now she is 14, so I was a bit confused. I may or may not return, but you’re welcome to your own experience. You may like it because as I said they do excellent work. I usually love going there but I’m afraid the prices may change again. I’m not a penny puncher so I can afford to get my hair done, but the problem is that something isn’t right. I used to pay 15 for a trim, so for a trims price to change so drastically to 35 dollars without a wash or blow out was surprising to me. I was always charged 35 dollars to wash blow and flat iron my hair. That was without a trim. I just don’t like being called a liar about what I was previously getting charged. I’ve been going there for years. I have no need to lie. I may still pop in once in a blue. Maybe for a special occasion because they do amazing work and I only trust 2 stylists with cutting my hair, but then again it all depends on what it will cost me the next time I go in. I previously wrote another review and was asked to remove it. I’m assuming because they don’t want bad reviews, but my husband insisted that I write about my last experience so no one else would go through what I went through. (And because he had to pay for it.) Just ask prices up front and be specific on what it is that you want done.
There is a hair stylist there with long curly gorgeous hair and she does amazing work along with another amazing gentlemen hair stylist named Steven. Those are the only ones I have experience with doing my hair most recently and they are fantastic. The rest of the hair stylists that are currently employed there also do great work from what I have seen.
When I first came to creative years ago I was not too fond of the hair stylists that I was placed with, but they no longer are employed there. I left looking like Ringo Star one time and another stylist had given my daughter a bad bang cut for picture day that I eventually got fixed. This was many years ago and I’m not sure if that guy still works there because I haven’t seen him in a few months. My sister in law went to him once because he was referred by a family member of hers. So she went along with him working on her hair, until he cut it. She wasn’t pleased so she moved on to the two stylists I mentioned and she has continued to go to them and loves their work, as I do.
I rated 3 stars because the hair stylists are very talented, the place is very clean, looks amazing, and they carry great hair products, but I took 2 stars away for my bad experience with pricing issues.
Look, If you want a great cut and style with no care of the cost, this is the place to go. But if you are not able to afford them you may want to shop around. But Like I said before, just make sure you ask questions about exactly what you want done and how much it’s going to cost you in advance so you’re not surprised in the end like I was. This review will NOT be removed. Good luck to you all and I hope you enjoy YOUR experience with the staff at Creative Hair and Spa.

Annabel is the best! I was a super loyal customer of hers at her previous salon and followed her to Creative Hair. She is always bubbly and puts you at ease immediately, and she had a magic touch. I recommend both waxing and facials — she’s a true pro!

I received a completely uneven and choppy haircut from this place. I have very short hair and it’s apparent how uneven my bob is. The layers are messy and not growing in well. I now have to wait for it to grow out longer so I can get an even cut. It’s pretty terrible.
This is the worst hair cut I have ever received in my whole life! Instead of trying to fix the mess, management tried to pin the blame on me and say that it’s my fault because I trimmed my own bangs prior to getting the haircut. My bangs and the length of my hair have nothing to do with one another. The bangs are fine. The bottom is completely uneven (left side is about a whole inch longer than the right) and the layers are just horrible.
Who licensed these people!!!
I do not understand if their reviews are fake or if their staff give them 4 and 5 star reviews but I would not recommend this place at all.

Creative Hair Salon is a great place to get Hair, Nails, Facial. Etc done at. You will be very happy when you walk out and will definitely want to make this place a second home for you. I have known these people on a personal level and been getting my hair done for about 10 yrs at this place it has become a place i run away to and just sit back and relax. Everyone at CHS is polite and extremely talented in what they do. Front desk is always at a top grade professional level and the staff is at it’s best. all the time. Everyone I have sent there has been very happy with their results.

I came here this past Thursday to get my hair highlighted and had an amazing experience with Senada B. First off, my hair was in pretty sad shape when I came in — I have long, blonde hair that hadn’t been highlighted in over a year, meaning I had pretty bad grown-​out roots towards the top and yellowed highlights the rest of the way down. Senada talked me through the process of bringing some life back to my hair, which included thin blonde highlights and an overall toner to even out the roots. Over the next three hours, she meticulously worked my hair, and in the end, it was worth every minute! My hair is a beautiful, multi-​faceted blonde color now with no visible roots — she worked a miracle! On top of the great service, the pricing at this salon is very fair considering the Park Slope location. I’ll definitely be back for touch-​ups!

I love coming to get my hair done by Steven. He is incredibly talented and can do anything from an exciting ombré to updos to flattering cuts.

I’m not sure how to rate this place, really.
It’s pretty, yes. But the service was… okay. I came here for a mani/​pedi and lip wax. For starters, I could have gone somewhere cheaper. I thought I’d try this place to see the difference.
The lip wax was alright. I’ve experienced less pain in other places. Not too bad.
The pedicure process was nice. There are massage chairs which aren’t that great but better than normal chairs. The lady didn’t give much of a foot/​leg massage which is a disappointment, since many places I’ve been to did a very good job with them, and some of the nail care hurt. Afterward, we did my manicure. The lady was very nice but she was rather distracted while doing my nails. I also got hit in the face with one of my nails while she was cutting them. And the dipping water was pretty much boiling.
Finally, after spending OVER half an hour drying both hands and feet, and spraying quick dry on them at least 3x each, I left. Within five minutes, I managed to smudge my toes and my hands. How? Who knows. I normally don’t smudge them that well and that quickly. But apparently you have to sit over an hour at the salon drying your nails.
I’m not a happy camper. I overpaid for my mani/​pedi only to have the work ruined. I have to repaint them at home. What was the point of that? I MIGHT come back for the lip wax, and only with a friend, but won’t be getting my nails done here again.

Great things tend to happen when you least expect them and all the stars were in line when I went to Creative last weekend. After my fancy, «edgy» hipster salon in Williamsburg tried to shove me off on a colorist I never met before because I called 30 minutes ahead to say I was going to be 10 minutes late (traffic) — I canceled my appt and decided to go somewhere else. I turned back on the BQE and went back to my side of BK with low expectations. I read a couple quick reviews, remembered that I used to go to Creative for spa nail services way back when and always had a great job done and finished convincing myself with the knowledge that this place has been open in the same location since I was in high school growing up in the area.
So I made a nervous call to Creative (nervous b/​c in my mind, any place that has open slots for color in the middle of a Saturday afternoon can’t possibly be good). And boy was I wrong, thankfully. Not only were they super accommodating to me (I called at 1 and asked if I could come at 2:30 for highlights) — but everyone was friendly and helpful. I saw Nina, who is an expert in curly hair and did a fantastic job with my highlights. Her own hair and makeup looked great so I was instantly comfortable when I saw her. I wasn’t ready to go full throttle and let them cut my hair yet since it was my first visit but I won’t hesitate to do so next time. Friendly, helpful and good quality. I’ve gotten tons of compliments on my color this week. Thanks Creative!

Love… love…love my Keratin Treatment that Steven did on my hair. My hair is silky smooth, shining, straight & frizz free! Amazing job!
