Donna is amazing! Always get the cut that I want and always super hospitable!

Had the best experience with Donna Rae. She listened to what I wanted, I showed her a photo, and she was off to the races!! Washed my hair and finished the cut (including styling and drying) in 30 minutes. I have thick curly hair, and this was by far the best and easiest haircut experience i've had in my entire life. It was EXACTLY what I wanted, and that has never been the case during past haircuts. It's exactly what I asked for! Will absolutely be going back, and recommending Donna to everyone!! Her experience and professionalism are unmatched!

I came to Kristin with a very challenging situation in which a previous stylist had left me with roots that were a variety of different lengths and degrees of blending (and banding, oof). Not only did she meticulously lift and even out my roots, but she helped blend the rest of my color so my hair came out as a cohesive whole with minimal damage. Looks like I've found my new colorist!

Been going to Kristin for a year + for my vibrant color needs. She is a true professional that has kept my color beautifully vibrant while also keeping my hair in great condition! The salon atmosphere is comfortable with excellent customer service and the staff has excellent training. This is the place to go if you want platinum, vivids, complex coloring jobs done well while maintaining the integrity of your hair.

Just got my haircut by Donna and I couldn’t be happier! We chatted about what I was looking for, what I was comfortable with, and I showed her some photos of me with prior short cuts. I LOVE the cut and feel so much more like myself, YAY! She also gave me great consultation about coloring options, which I’ve been debating (I stuck with au natural this visit). Thank you!

My daughter just got her cut w/ Donna Rae today & she did an incredible job!! She’s been chasing this curly mullet style for a while now & the last attempt didn’t end well but Donna NAILED IT!! Her fav cut so far & she’s had plenty! Highly recommend! They quickly responded, fit us right in, charged less than originally quoted & we arrived a few minutes late. We’ll definitely be back!

Great first time color experience with Maria! Excited to try sometime else in the future

I’ve been getting haircuts here for 6 years, and these days I bring my husband around for his haircuts too. Donna Rae is wonderful. She’s got tons of knowledge and experience and often knows what I want more than I do. She’s also reasonably priced and works very quickly. I also really appreciate that Tomahawk is super inclusive and just a comfortable, welcoming place to be. I’ll keep getting my hair cut with Donna Rae until I leave NYC or she retires.

Lovely place, Donna was a fantastic hairdresser. She helped me with picking out what style would fit me. Will 100% come back if I need a touch-up.

Didn't get an appointment because fully booked 4 a while... But got a tex back super nice guy's... Will b making appointment soon though! 😘

Kristin does BEAUTIFUL work. I screwed up my own hair more than once and Kristin was able to bring my color back to life. Pictured here is my hair right after I had it done and a few months later when it had faded and grown out a little. Even through the grow out phase it looked lovely. I attended a wedding right after she did my hair the first time and I recieved sooo many compliments, even from total strangers because she did my balayage JUST right. From now on this salon and Kristin are the only people touching my hair.

Donna always does a perfect job

Was looking for a fresh look after recovering from cancer treatment. Donna Rae was amazing. She listened to what I was going for, looked at pics I brought, then showed me her vision & explained it. The location itself is very welcoming & comfortable. I am pleased with the end result & and I am looking forward to evolving my look with Donna Rae in the future.

Donna is a master!

Donna is the best and does a mean cut and shaping. Love this place

Nothing but great experiences at this salon. Kristin does my hair and she's great with color and curly hair. I visited since they reopened in Phase 3 (post Covid) and they have great safety precautions in place. Cool, casual, comfortable vibe. Happy to support this small woman-owned business.

Best salon I have ever been to. I found it like 2.5 years ago and haven’t gone anywhere since. It’s a welcoming environment with good vibes & the service is incredible. My hair has never looked better!


Feb 06, 2020

I have been getting my hair cut and coloured at Tomahawk for more than five years. Kristin always listens, always recommends what’s best for my hair and always does an amazing job. I always get asked about my colourist and stylist and have recommended many friends to the salon. Really nice vibe, and an amazing team - thank you Tomahawk, you’re the best ❤️


Feb 06, 2020

I love this salon so much!!! Kristin is my fabulous hair artist ❤️ she’s so great with seeing my vision and make come true. Also the owner is such a nice person, she always helps me to find products for my type of color and hair. Totally recommend it !!! They are so knowledgeable all about hair, Kristin loves to take care of her clients health hair which I appreciate so much. Love Tomahawk salon!! No chance Im losing them ever :)

I've never felt more like myself than when I left Tomahawk Salon. I've been a client for over five years. The creative vision and expert knowledge of the artists who work at Tomahawk is unmatched. Undoubtedly the best hair cut and color of my life, from conservative balayage on long virgin hair to a rose gold semi permanent glaze to more blonde. My hair always came out silky and beautiful and grew in nicely. Even on my worst days, I had amazing hair and always got compliments. The aesthetic is also great. I have seen everyone there and they are all amazing, but Kristin is my go-to girl!


Feb 06, 2020

I’ve been going to Tomahawk Salon since I moved to Brooklyn almost 3 years ago. Best decision of my life. I’ve always been incredibly picky about who does my hair, however, these ladies are amazing and I trust Kristin with my hair which is the most important thing to me. I also love going to a woman-owned salon. I’m always comfortable and well taken care of. Kristin is incredibly amazing at what she does and is so helpful and transparent. She’s informative and honest and will always deliver beyond your wildest hair expectations.


Feb 06, 2020

Kristen is an incredibly professional and talented stylist who I am so happy to have found. She has guided me through some of the largest hair transformations I’ve decided on in the past couple of years. I trust her completely with my ever changing cut and color, every time. She is always honest and direct about giving me realistic options to protect the quality of my hair and styles it in a way that fits my lifestyle. What a gem! Go see her ASAP 💫🔮


Feb 06, 2020

Kristin is a fierce chick! Been doing my hair years. She is terrific and the salon is such a cool place. The community is GREAT!!!!!!!!!!


Feb 06, 2020

Kristin is amazing at cuts. I have long thick, curly hair, and have been a client of Kristin’s for 6 years. I moved out of state and tried new, local stylists, but I still prefer to have my hair cut by Kristin and traveled for the cut :) I have been a loyal client at Tomahawk since 2011 when the salon owner Chantal gave me a cut after many years of cutting my own hair. Kristin is amazing at color but you can also trust her for an amazing cut. Kristin is also an amazing person and the salon is super cool.


Feb 06, 2020

The best.
