Fabio Scalia Salon - Brooklyn

Giulia was amazing! She really knows her stuff and immediately knew which products would work best for my hair. I came in thinking I needed a full color, but she suggested a gloss instead to cover some grays and even out my ends and I’m so happy she did. My hair looks incredibly healthy, shiny, and refreshed. Not only is she talented, but she also has such a fun, positive energy. I loved chatting with her about our travels abroad, it made the whole experience even more enjoyable. I’ll definitely be coming back to see Giulia again. Highly recommend! :) I had such a great experience with Josh! He gave me a super cute cut and blowout. Very happy with his attention to detail and I really appreciated how kind and professional he was throughout the whole appointment. His calm, collected demeanor made the experience feel even more relaxing and easy, and his energy is just so grounding. Highly recommend booking with him if you’re looking for a stylist who really listens and delivers with care and precision! Josh is very talented! I'll be back in a few months :)

I had such an amazing experience at the salon ! I went to get a haircut by Josh and he exceeded my expectations. Not only was he attentive and sweet, his hands are truly gifted. I went in for a long layered cut and left feeling light and confident. My hair was pretty long and lacked body- he listened to my concerns and made sure to keep my length but gave me so much movement with layers. I highly recommend booking, you will not be disappointed at all. Everyone at the salon was so welcoming and kind also- loved the overall ambiance

I came all the way from Connecticut to get a balayage from Giulia. She is an incredible, professional, and talented colorist. She listened very carefully to how I wanted the color to be, and my hair turned out exactly like I wanted - even better. I left with a beautiful bright natural blonde balayage. I’m very very happy with my experience with Giulia and will definitely be coming back!

Amanda delivered a blowout that was soft, romantic, and sophisticated. Her work along with professionalism is consistent across the board and she possesses a true talent. I highly recommend booking with her! Josh, one of the assistants, treated my hair with a Fusio Dose that specifically targeted frizz and shine. If you have fine wavy/curly hair I highly recommend, it left my hair so shiny and soft. Overall another satisfying visit from the talents staff at the Brooklyn Heights location.

This is the first time I visit Fabio salon, and I must say it was the most outstanding experience experienced in a long time. Fabio himself was there welcoming with sweetness and kindness. Amanda was very accommodating during consultation about all my concerns. You can see she takes pride in her work, she cut my hair with care And then finished it off with a beautiful blow dry. She did a great job cutting my hair. It came out beautiful. I had a very lovely experience and would definitely go back without a doubt.

Couldn't recommend this salon more. The staff was all attentive and made the whole experience enjoyable. Rocco got my hair the perfect shade of blonde and Antonio gave me the perfect cut.

I’ve never left a hair salon happier! Adela colored my hair, and I couldn’t be happier with the result. She completely understood what I wanted, and delivered. Fabio gave me the most amazing haircut. This hair salon knows how to give an amazing blow out!

Very impressed with Giulia Farella's work! She listened to my needs very attentively and made it happen exactly the way I wanted! We did highlights. Very professional and also cares about not damaging the hair while coloring it! I am usually very protective about my hair and Gulia made sure that there won't be any damage. Antonio trimmed my hair and did the styling - he is very professional, and was gentle with my hair. Very satisfied with the results! I had a very pleasant experience and would definitely come back!! Salon has a great friendly atmosphere!

Guilia is amazing!! I've been going to her the past two years and have been loving my highlights and gloss. She really listens to what I want in keeping the color transitions natural. Antonio cut my hair. Also did an amazing job!

After decades of blonde highlights, I decided it was time to transition back to my natural brunette color. I knew it wouldn't be a simple or easy transition so did a lot of research to find someone like Giulia. I am incredibly happy with the results. She added low lights to create dimension, along with a darkening gloss that added beautiful shine and color to my hair. I highly recommend visiting her if you have a complex color change as she is truly an expert and so friendly.

don't like giving negative reviews. Before, I was impressed with the quality of staff and my experiences at Fabio Scalia. I was a model for a haircut. It was supposed to be some version a long, layered cut. I'm extremely unhappy with the results. It was a dramatic change from what I had. The haircut looks terrible. The hairstyle is extremely difficult to maintain. There was almost no communication between the stylist and myself, in terms of what she was doing -- and the intended result. I came with healthy, waist-length hair. I left with an ugly, nightmare haircut. Most of my hair was cut to a dramatic, bob-length layer. As she was cutting, there were 6"-12" segments, flying on my lap. There is easily a 12" difference between the longest and the shortest pieces. There were thin, stringy pieces towards the back. The end result resembled some horror hybrid between a long version of "The Rachel" -- an 80's shag -- and escaped psychiatric patient from some horror movie. At minimum, it's absolute nightmare to style. It makes my natural, curly hair look like an electrified, sloppy mess. There was absolutely no prior discussion about my lifestyle, styling routine -- or what I was looking for. I understand this was a haircutting class. However, it's also unreasonable to treat a human being like a mannequin. I really wish that the trainee stylist posted pictures of what she was trying to accomplish, both to inform prospective models -- and to find an appropriate candidate. It really sucks when the haircut is a drastic change -- and cannot really be corrected. Sure, it's "just hair". But it will take 6-9 months to grow out. Meanwhile, I have to live with this ugly haircut. I'm also stuck using styling products -- and wearing my hair in a bun. My hair looks absolutely gross, even when tied back into a ponytail. I'm very upset -- and extremely disappointed. Major bummer.

I had my hair colored today in this salon and when I took the robe off I had stains on the back in my sweater from the color. I was told by the owner, Fabio himself, that they are not responsible for my cloths and that I should have taken my sweater off before putting the robe on. He was very rude to me and dismissive. I've been coming to this place for years paying very high prices for their services. $180 for a single process color, $150 for a haircut. Despite moving out of Brooklyn I continued to come to this salon, driving over an hour to get there. I was treated very poorly today by the owner himself and I won't be back. This place is overpriced and they do not value their customers.

Got my hair cut here for the first time about a week ago and I am extremely satisfied. The staff are vibrant and inviting and it was very busy but remained calm. They washed, cut, and dried my hair in about an hour. The cut was better than expected (done by Raphael) and the blowout was fabulous. Will definitely be returning.

Still going strong at Fabio Scalia. Thank you, team! And especially Rocco who is a color genius.

Amazing overall experience! A friend recommended the salon, and specifically Guilia, for some brunette work. I'm also skeptical of new salons because I've gone to multiple and walked out with the opposite of anything I've asked for. I'm a natural brunette but had wanted some dimension and previous salons have inter wore red that was blonde highlights and a light balayage. This has always left me with a majorly stark line as my hair grows out, which I'm not a fan of. But not at Fabio's! As a new client, Guilia sat down with me and went through my inspo pics and discussed how to tailor the colors to best fit my skin tone and natural hair color. She explained everything she'd need to do to achieve what I had wanted, back to my natural color with dimension and some subtle face frame highlights. I was also a few minutes late due to train delays and Guilia and the salon were super understanding and worked with me. Would totally recommend the salon and Guilia to anyone, especially brunettes!

Love love love! My senior stylist is Antonio and he's not only talented, but lovely and always with a smile. Absolutely love my angled graduated bob and I can't wait to come back :) Irina and Fabio are also super sweet, just a great team of people and they give amazing vibes!

Very impressed with Giulia Farella's work! She listened to my needs very attentively and made it happen exactly the way I wanted! We did highlights. Very professional and also cares about not damaging the hair while coloring it! Antonio trimmed my hair and did the styling - he is very professional, and was gentle with my hair. Very satisfied with the results! I had a very pleasant experience and would definitely come back!! Salon has a great friendly atmosphere!

Another fabulous salon visit with Rocco my colorist !! I cannot say enough about how great he is and I left feeling so loved by the staff ! Love Miguel he's awesome and so kind !! They set me up for my trip until my next visit !!!

This was a fantastic experience, from beginning to end. Everyone was kind, knowledgeable, experienced, encouraging and the atmosphere was great. I wish I could take you all back to Alaska with me! Thanks for being so patient with me and my daughter. We loved every minute of our time with you.

Simply the best hair salon in all of NYC and Brooklyn. Not to mention super clean and safe during these crazy times. Rocco is a master of color, and Fabio cut my hair like nobody has ever done before. After years of highlights and damaged hair, this is the healthiest hair I've ever had, with the prettiest color as well. The whole staff is super nice, and everyone is very professional. They really care about their customers and making them not only look, but also feel the best. They really all are hair artists and I doubt I will ever go to another hair salon. Thank you guys!

Love my Haircut!! Eddie really Brought my curls back and gave me amazing highlights along with the cut I was looking for I was so excited to try him out and will be back! I'm happy to find this quality of work so close to home! Grazie Eddie, veramente stupendo!

Oh my god! I love this place. Yes it's on the expensive side but they do an amazing job! They are very meticulous with each step of the process. It's nice to finally find a place that I can walk out of with exactly the look I wanted. Will definitely go back again!

I am a blonde and someone who is very particular with my hair and it took me forever to find the perfect colorist in NY! If you can relate GO TO Giulia Farella - not only is she the sweetest person but she listens to you and your needs and makes magic happen. She is exactly what I was looking for - my hair is back to looking natural blonde and healthy! I am so happy I found her!

I've been getting my highlights and hair cut with Giulia for over 3 years now... She is THE BEST, and she is an expert on curls. Definitely ask for her for color The new location of the salon in Brooklyn is beautiful and the service is great!

Giulia Farella is an excellent professional and person! she invested her time to understand my needs and fulfilled them! Highly recommended!! She is a good listener and has so much experience as a colorist. My blonde hair looks so natural! Giulia Farella mi ha seguito consigliandomi il colore più adatto e finalmente dopo tanto tempo ho trovato una professionista che è riuscita a comprendermi dall'inizio e a tradurre ciò che desideravo in realtà! Ha molta esperienza e finalmente ho un biondo naturale! Consigliatissima.

Today was my second time going to Fabio Scalia and I have to say both times I've been very impressed. The first time I walked in after another salon canceled my hair appointment without the curiosity of letting me know before I got there. Upset and in need of a hair cut, I walked a few blocks down and walked into this salon. Not only did the receptionist find me an appointment that day but the stylist did an amazing job getting the cut just right. Today I went in to get my hair color freshened for the new year and once again the stylist did not disappoint. This time I saw Giulia and she was able to blend my old golden highlights and natural brown color together in way that looks very natural. She was very good at asking me what I wanted and took her time getting the color and look just right. The services here are not inexpensive but the results and customer service make the price worth it. Went back today and had another great appointment with Giulia and Isabella.

I've been getting my hair colored/balayage with Rocco for a few years now and Rocco is simply the best colorist out there. I always get compliments on my hair. He really listens to what you want and my hair always magically turns out amazing. He is also such a nice person. I just moved to New Jersey and will continue to make the trip to see him in Brooklyn. The best!

Great color and cut and you pay for it. Recommended if you are particular about your hair and don't mind spending a bit more.

Went in for a cezanne keratine treatment with Samantha. I'm very happy with the service and results so far and plan on returning for additional treatments. Top notch salon!

WOW Valerie took every concern about my hair and transformed it into something even better than I imagined. It's so well cut and styled and her precision was incredible. Everyone treated me so well, and were incredibly accommodating. Great conversation and lovely people, talented stylists. And even the atmosphere itself is enough of a reason to come, it was like a little nook of Brooklyn heights that looked like heaven! Thanks Valerie, I'll be back soon!

First time trying this place after I heard great things about it but left a tad underwhelmed by it all. The 3 stars are really for Guilia who colored my hair and did a great job and was lovely. The rest was just not what I'd expect when you're paying $200+ for a single color and blow out. There was a no scalp massage or anything like that and my blow out was not good. Plus the girl Samantha wasn't very friendly. She didn't give me what I asked for and my hair looked like it wasn't brushed. I left in a bad mood, which You should never be after getting your hair done. I won't be back

Got a really good haircut here. Service was great both from the stylist and person who washed the hair. The stylist really took his time. A bit on the pricier side but worth it for the great experience.

WOW - I had the very best experience with Giulia for my highlights and balayage. My hair has never looked better and I used to think highlights were impossible for me. She spent so much time with me and even though I could barely articulate what exactly I wanted, Julia is an artist! I will never go elsewhere for color again.

I've been seeing Rocco at Fabio Scalia Salon for a couple of years now, he is without doubt the best colorist I've ever been to in the city. I get highlights only once in awhile, but he does my regular color about every 3-4 week, not sure what he does, but I'm always stopped and complimented. Oh, and as an extra, he is sooooooo nice as well as nice looking. Nelson does a great blowout, really everyone in this salon is super nice, including Fabio who gives a great cut. They have a salon in Soho, but this is my go to!!!

I have been going to Rocco for my color for over five years. This is the longest I have ever stayed with a salon. Everyone is so professional, talented, and yet friendly. It's the Cheers" of hair salons.

I came today for a hair cut and blow out and love it; I sent an email last night and they called me this morning saying they could fit me in Valerie did a great job recommending products to help my dry hair and making sure I left looking like a star especially seeing since I haven't gotten my hair done in months will be back again soon

Fabio Scalia Salon revived my hair to the best look, shape and health it has ever been. I've been to many top salons but this by far was the best experience. Fabio himself consulted with me and examined my hair before the cut. I realized immediately that he gave my hair a style not a cut. He gave me volume, movement, shine and a rejuvenated look. The cut also complimented my face shape abs features. Going to this salon was a true experience in the excellence of a stylist versus a hair cut. My hair still looks amazing 2 weeks later. He's an artist. Worth its weight in gold

I haven't been this happy with my color in YEARS! I've lived in the city for 4 years and haven't been this happy with any salon yet. I came to see Giulia after attempting to do my own blonde coloring a few times during quarantine. I honestly thought my hair was ruined forever, but Giulia not only fixed it but made it truly one of my best colorings to date (pic below). So happy I finally found Giulia!

I went to this salon for the first time last Saturday. Amazing salon and very kind and professional staff. Giulia is one of the best hairstylist that I've ever had! She listens your ideas and transform them into something spectacular! I've got the best Degradé ever, a perfect haircut and blow out! Definitely going back!

Amazing color and keratin with Giulia Farella! She is extremely talented and creative! My hair never looked so good. I would give 6 stars if it were possible!!! Grazie Giulia! You are the best!

I've been a client at Fabio Scalia Salon since they opened and there is a good reason for that - I've never had a bad experience. Fabio and his team are exceptional at what they do, and if you are in the market for a beautiful cut, gorgeous color, or an elegant updo, this is the place to go. I've always appreciated how knowledgeable everyone at the salon is, giving helpful tips and advice while listening to your wants and needs to ensure you leave happy. Rocco's work as a colorist is exquisite. He artfully layers my color so that it will grow out naturally, and he is incredibly thoughtful about creating movement and depth with highlights. Sam's updos are gorgeous and magically last an entire evening, including hours of dancing. Fabio's masterful cuts earn me frequent compliments. Most importantly, I know I can trust him to give me a great haircut. I can't say enough about this salon and would encourage anyone looking for a positive salon experience to try Fabio Scalia. It will be money well spent.

Giulia and Theresa are amazing: they are lovely, super professional and perfectionist - I definitely highly recommend them! I had the chance to be assisted also by other stylists at the Brooklyn location and you cannot go wrong by choosing Fabio Scalia Salon!

I have only one person in New York I go to when I want fabulous ombré ! Giulia Farella is amazing ! She has an immediate understanding of what natural and eye catching color is that will bring out the glow in your skin and your features. She sees you as a whole. Not only your hair. Hair you should have been born with ! Just have a look at all her clients hair. This woman has impeccable taste. And it is a rare quality! Plus she is adorable and has the best Italian accent which makes sitting in her chair a small trip to Italy ! I am so glad I have found her. I cannot wait to come over and get my summer kissed color :)

Rafael Nieves has been doing my hair for years and I have always been so happy with the results. I have a golden blonde tone and nobody was ever able to get my color right. He does wonders to my blonde hair and I have brought several of my closest friends to him and they are amazed at his talent. He also does amazing up dos if you are attending a special event and don't know where to go. My hair stayed for the whole night and even the next day lol. Just a miracle worker. If you are tired of your hair and need a new look, this is your man.

I moved to Brooklyn Heights recently and saw the excellent reviews for this salon - I'm so glad those caught my eye because I had a great experience! All staff members were very accommodating and friendly. I had balayage and a haircut. Both Giulia and Samantha were attentive and I'm very very happy both my hair cut and color. Highly recommend this salon!

Fabio Scalia is King! The master of hairstylists! The Fabio Scalia Salon is absolutely impeccable!.. state of the art, gorgeous & fashion forward! Rocco Crisci, Senior Colorist is an artistic genius! Fabio's amazing team is simply the best : Mary, Samantha, Teresa, Gulia just to name a few. I have been a client for over 10 years this place is like home & these people are like family! I highly recommend The Fabio Scalia Salon!

I'm obsessed with my new haircut. Isabel killed it! I have curly hair and It was super important for me to get a really good cut since I don't use any heating tools to style my hair. I had been traumatized by another salon and I stop cutting my hair for about 3 years until I met fabio and his superstar team. The best service, from the moment you walk in until you leave. They design your look instead of just chopping hair. Ask for your girl isabel she's a gem

I was originally going to book the Manhattan Salon but when I saw that Samantha (Sam) in Brooklyn specialized in curly hair I decided to go there. I was greeted warmly by the front desk person and Sam was also very welcoming. She really understood curly hair! I was upset because I had such a terrible haircut by another stylist. . She said she was going to cut my hair dry since I rarely wear it straight and she explained that she would cut with the curl pattern. She also explained that if I did blow it straight it may not be even again due to the curl pattern of my hair. I was skeptical since I've only ever had my hair cut dry once before with disastrous results. Sam knew what she was doing. I walked out with a headful of shaggy layered curls and when I washed it at home I had the same result. I am so happy that I finally found someone who understands my hair and gave me exactly what I wanted and what works with my hair!

I am extremely picky with my hair and I have always struggled finding someone that leaves my hair EXACTLY the way I want it. Everyone would always leave my hair either too blonde or a weird bronze color. Giulia is the best colorist I've ever met. She takes her time with your hair and really makes sure that you are satisfied with the result. She is so thorough. She is the absolute best! Sam and Valerie are also so great! They both cut my hair and it was perfect. They styled it so nicely and really taught me how to care for my hair. My hair is healthier than ever. I'm never going to any other salon! If you go here, ask for Giulia!

Not consistent! Few months ago Nordia gave me an excellent lob. I went back to her for a trim and walked out with a short bob which is a)Not what I requested as I wanted to keep the same lob style just with a little trim b) the new haircut is a very mature style for my age which makes my entire face looks different. Im very sad this happened as the first time at this salon was such a great experience.

I am super particular about my hair, so I always get nervous when trying a new place. My concerns were immediately gone from the moment I walked into Fabio Scalia! Such good vibes, kind people, and A+ service from the entire staff. Got highlights from Giulia and doubt I'll ever let anyone else do my color again. So many colorists will just go with what they think is best, rather than what you ask for. Not Giulia! She really listened, was so attentive, and gave me exactly the color I wanted. Got a haircut with Mary who is also fantastic. Same thing with her - she listens and she delivers. And both of them are an absolute pleasure to be around!

When it comes to hair color, Rocco Crisci at Fabio Scalia salon (Brooklyn Heights) is number one in my book! I have been going to him for years and there is nobody else I would ever trust with my color. I have curly hair and Rocco always honestly advises me on what will work best for my texture and skin tone. Sometimes I watch him as he applies the color and he does it so meticulously and methodically - you can really see and appreciate how he views hair color as an art. Let's just say hes very focused! He is so pleasant to be around too - always smiling and friendly. I get the sense Rocco really cares about his clients. The Brooklyn salon as whole is very welcoming and the new location is very modern, clean and bright.

First of all, the entire staff here is constantly going out of their way to make you feel at home, and the space is very open and beautiful. After neglecting to visit a salon in 6 months or more, I came to see Fabio and his staff here. My hair feels healthier than ever! I just wanted the most minimum trim possible to make my hair healthy again. He offered me personalized advice and gave product and vitamin recommendations based on my hair and follicle type. He used a special magnifier app to zoom in 400X to my hair follicle which shows every dead piece of hair and weak follicle, etc. I am now taking the Nutrafol product he recommended and plan to visit every other month. I will post a follow up with the progress of my hair health with every visit.

Fabio is passionate about hair and his extremely loyal clientele is proof that he is truly an artist. When you sit in his chair, he proceeds to expertly cut and style your hair, with a high degree of concentration and expertise, boosting your confidence with each snip of the scissors, while you sip on a delicious expresso and cucumber mint-flavored water. You will find yourself bursting in laughter and self-confidence before your appointment is over. I recently went from really long hair to shorter hair and I was extremely happy with the results! His salons are always covered in beautiful art with temporal exhibits that keep each visually exciting. Going to Fabio's is always a relaxing and fun experience. I specially like the music, the quality hair products used and how luxurious it all feels while someone masterfully washes and massages your hair. Fabio teaches you about your hair, how to take better care of it and make it work for your busy lifestyle. He is a perfectionist and his entire team reflects that. Sam (Samantha) is amazing! If you want beautiful silky statement hair that lasts, Sam is your girl! Michael and Julia are expert colorists. I don't color my hair often, but when I do, the single process is always on point and very gentle to my hair. Everyone that works there is 5 stars. I trust them completely!

Nobody hates haircuts more than I do. I usually get annoyed at the stylist right after the haircut because it's never how I envision it. I was brunching in downtown and really really needed a cut. I googled and found FS, called them up and surprisingly they were super accommodating with squeezing me in right then and there. (Points for that --- I know how busy Saturdays can get). What really got to me and helped make the decision that they will be my new hair salon was the amazing hairstylist Teresa. She did not lay a scissor on my head until we were absolutely sure the cut I chose is the cut I wanted. (Super impressive). I showed her pictures of different cuts and we went through the pros and cons of each. When I did decide on the cut I wanted, she did a job like no other. I received so many compliments and it worked so well with my every day look. It was also easy to maintain which I need because I'm usually rushed in the morning. Definitely asked for Teresa if you're looking for someone who cares and loves what they do. (I'm due for a cut again and will be returning and highly recommend this fabulous salon).

Walking in I was so impressed by the salon's cleanliness and sophistication. I asked for a coffee and within minutes I was brought an espresso with a glass of water. I got single process color with Rocco, who was extremely friendly and knowledgable about hair. He patiently explained to me the color process and made a recommendation which I went for. I am so so happy with the result. You can tell quality and experience when you see it and Rocco's work is exceptional. While I waited for my hair to process I asked if they could fit me in for a haircut and immediately they accommodated my request and I was squeezed in for a cut with Nordia. She listened intently to what I wanted and suggested I get a dry cut, which was a great decision because my very thick hair is now loads lighter. The team, the service, and the results blew me away. I am definitely going to be a regular here.

Fabio for the best cut in the city, and Rocco for beautiful color that has been complimented by models and photographers. Fabio is passionate about hair -- he has coached me through stress related thinning (and then worked magic as my hair grew back), and has kept my hair up-to-date, flattering, and easy care for over a decade. I always leave feeling and looking great! Rocco is a magician -- he makes my hair come alive with subtle highlights and a gorgeous, natural color.
