The whole experience was amazing! Even though I was late for my appointment it wasn't a long wait and Gege was so nice and so cool and professional! I was worried because i broke my nose as a toddler and my nose is crooked but Gege knew is exactlyhow to hamdle it. It didn't take long at all only 15 mins and then I had the peirceing of my dreams! Highly recomend using this shop for all your tattoo and piercing needs!

Every time I go here I come out feeling amazing! Hailey has been an absolute pleasure to work with and so kind. She listened to what I needed and I came out feeling stunning! I’ll miss my blue green hair but feel fresh in a natural dark brown color! Thanks again Hailey!

Ericka was the best!!! Best experience ever especially since it was my first time getting my ears pierced and it literally went by in less than 5 seconds. Highly recommend!

It’s a bit expensive for a blow out, but the staff always does a great job and is super nice!


Jan 09, 2025

Great service, clean I was able to get serviced and leave no long wait.I would definitely recommend this place also very great reasonable prices.

Super friendly and welcoming staff. I came in SOAKING wet from the rain and they let me come in dripping everywhere gave me a towel and dried my coat under the hair dryer 🥹💙


Jan 06, 2025

Every time I leave Hailey’s chair I feel as amazing as my hair! From our first consultation, we immediately clicked and now I wouldn’t dream of finding anyone else to do my hair! New to bleaching, Hailey walked me through every bit of the process and laid out a plan best for my hair. Now back to my natural roots (with a bit of a ginger tint), my hair has kept its health and strength! I couldn’t be happier with our time together and can’t wait to visit her again in the new year for a fresh spring look <3

Gus does an amazing job every time he cuts my hair and knows exactly how I like it! Will be back for another cut soon!

Gus es el mejor con el cabello de mi sobrina. Siempre la tiene luciendo como una modela. Y ella siempre sale con una sonrisa. Me imagino que el puede ser de todo los colores! Trabaja rapido y profesionalmente 10/10


Jan 06, 2025

Gus is an amazing hair stylist! He’s charismatic, knowledgeable, stylish, and has a gentle touch. He transformed my hair from blonde to crisp autumn red. All of my friends complemented me and loved my new look☺️ He’s the only person I trust with my hair ♥️


Jan 06, 2025

Gus is by far my favorite stylist! He walks you through the entire process and educates you on proper hair care and maintenance. I always feel confident when I leave the salon. I would recommend anyone seeing Gus for all their hair needs!


Jan 06, 2025

Gus is by far the best hair colorist I’ve been to! Been going to him for about 2 years now and he never disappoints he eats everytime! If you are looking to do balayage or major hair transformations I highly recommend :)


Jan 06, 2025

Gus is the absolute best, i’m super picky with my hair cuts and overly attached to my hair and he always makes me feel so comfortable and does a phenomenal job. he does an amazing job on my bangs and layers. i have a lotttt of hair and he finished my cut wash and style in an hour and a half, the quickest anyones ever done my hair love love love

Gus is the best. Five years of fantastic haircuts - thank you! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️


Jan 06, 2025

Hailey T gave me the best haircut I've EVER had!! She took her time, asked me questions about what I wanted, and really made my hair look the best it possibly could. I HIGHLY recommend Hailey and Live By The Sword Salon!


Jan 06, 2025

Hailey is the BEST! she has moved heaven and earth to get my hair where it needs to be and slays every single time


Jan 06, 2025

Hailey is the best there is…simply a joy every time i get my hair done. Their work is incredible and makes you feel so welcome. So nice to finally have a hair stylist you completely trust and always gives me the exact result i want. Can’t ask for better!


Jan 06, 2025

I always love going to Live by the Sword Salon. They have great vibes and stylists! Hailey works magic every time, giving me the perfect blonde refresh I need. She is so kind and makes me feel comfortable while I’m there. I truly can’t recommend her enough!! Thanks Hailey 😊


Jan 06, 2025

I can’t give enough of a good review, Hailey is the best and helped give me my dream hair! After years of dyeing and and bleaching my hair I decided to go back to a more more natural color and she completely understood my vision. I would definitely recommend booking with her!


Jan 06, 2025

I go to Alexandria for brow lamination and she is incredible. So thorough and detail oriented (and so sweet!) I wouldn't trust anybody else with my brows!


Jan 06, 2025

I had the best haircut of my life here, and it's not even close. Hailey was really great! I don't often cut my hair, but when I do I'm often worried I may not communicate well about the style I want, however, Hailey was a very good listener, and put my mind at ease. They're very experienced at what they do, and they're also just a really good people person. This is definitely where I'll be going to get my cuts from now on! Oh, also, the atmosphere was really clean and relaxing, and it felt very safe knowing that they're very queer-friendly. :)


Jan 06, 2025

I have been a customer here for almost 2 years now and they've never let me down! Hailey is the BEST at getting me to platinum/silver from naturally black hair!! She's amazing at her job and the sweetest human ever. I always look forward to seeing her every 6 weeks for my root touchups!


Jan 06, 2025

I'm a 30 year old balding male. I was recommended to Gus who happened to work magic. I can't recommend him enough. Thank you again fortl the confidence boost.


Jan 06, 2025

Love the vibe of this place—it’s cozy, clean, and everyone is friendly. Hailey did my hair and was the perfect amount of chatty and professional—I felt comfortable the entire time and my hair turned out amazing! The point system rules—I always spend a lot when I do my hair because I am blonde blonde, but it’s a nice perk to get some cash off once you accumulate points. Hailey is very knowledgeable about hair and answered all my questions and had recommendations of different products and is very welcoming. Love that I finally found a stylist who is chill and welcoming in the city.


Jan 06, 2025

Love this salon! Gus always slays my hair.


Jan 06, 2025

My favorite salon! I go to Hailey for blonde highlights and a short bob haircut. If you need someone who specializes in blondes, she is the one to go to! She executes what I want perfectly each time. They are an amazing stylist with tons of experience and knowledge. She even gives me hair care tips, and I learn something new after every appointment. I leave the salon feeling so confident each time. On top of that she is a joy to be around and makes going to the salon such a fun time.


Jan 06, 2025

The only place I trust with my hair !! Specifically Gus not only did he fix my hair when I needed it the most ( for my wedding)which he went above and beyond with ! But I haven’t let anyone else since touch my hair . Every time I bring a reference photo of what I want next for my hair he knows how to make it even better . He is amazing !


Jan 06, 2025

Tucked in the mini shopping mall off of Bedford, Live by the Sword salon has a cozy vibe. Every stylist is super friendly and amazing at what they do, especially Hailey. I highly recommend if you have grey, course hair. She knows exactly how to cover all the greys and make my hair softer than ever! Hailey always listens to me during the consultation and gives amazing results. Definitely check her out if you’re in the Williamsburg area!


Jan 06, 2025

gus is such a great stylist ! he was able to achieve the exact color i was wanting and he did it without bleach !! thank u soo much, my hair looks so good 🥹


Jan 06, 2025

i enjoyed my experience getting two tooth gems! a little pricey, but worth it for good jewelry


Jan 06, 2025

if you're a blonde in nyc you need to go to gus, he works magic! my hair was damaged from years of bleaching, I've been seeing gus religiously for over 2 years and my hair has never been healthier & i'm always blown away with the color. Couldn't imagine trusting anyone else with my hair now!


Jan 06, 2025

Amanda was amazing, super genuine and patient. This was a big change for me, and she was more than understanding. She explained her techniques and educated me on my hair. I will be back every time I’m in Brooklyn.


Jan 06, 2025

If you’re getting waxed you MUST go to Cortina! She’s quick but also really attentive to your skin. I also received a vagacial during this service and I love how Cortina tells you everything that’s going on your skin and it’s purpose so that you’ll know how to do proper after care at home.


Jan 06, 2025

My Sugarista CORTINA is truly the GOAT!!!! ZERO questions, she does everything from upper lip, Brazilian, under arms, eyebrows, etc with attention to detail and love. She makes her clients always feel welcome and comfortable, and there's nobody I trust more than her to make me the naked mole rat aka Rufus, I wish I could stay forever💜🙏🏿🫶🏽
