• Andrea Palumbos - great haircuts! She cuts my hair every month and is the best. I promise you won't be disappointed. Email her at andrea.palumbos@gmail.com or her yelp http://www.yelp.com/biz/hair-by-andrea-palumbos-brooklyn

• I second The Parlour in Greenpoint-- plus, there's usually not a lot of people there. Heyo free gloss treatments!

• Jeffery is now at Self Salon in Williamsburg.

• I absolutely love Marlene at Fringe on the LES. It's easy to get to from the Williamsburg/Greenpoint area and she is an absolutely wonderful stylist. She is very thoughtful and thorough, and she will absolutely speak her mind if she thinks your hair is going in the wrong direction. I appreciate advice and her willingness to listen to me. Plus, she's a curly girl herself, and that makes a difference. I'm a huge fan, and so are some of my closest curly-headed friends.

  Yay! Marlene and Fringe Salon!

• I got my hair cut by Aryn (arynmary@yahoo.com) in October and she did a wonderful job.

  I have incredibly thick and very curly hair and I've been going to Devachan for 8 years After my last few cuts being terrible (and really expensive), I decided to find someone new. I contacted Aryn based on the recommendation above and after meeting with her and a few other people mentioned above, I decided to go with Aryn - she really seemed to know what she was talking about and she used to work at Devachan, which is a huge plus because they really do know how to cut curly hair, but at a very high price.

  Not only did she give me a great cut (she spent a lot of time on each curl - and I have lots of them), she's really sweet and fun to talk to - my most enjoyable haircut probably ever.

  My only complaint is that she's a little slow to respond to emails so just be patient -

• Just another one to vote for the Aryn camp here. She's great! I have really, really curly hair (3c/4a spirals for those of you up on all that curly-hair lingo) and she did an amazing job taking it from a sadly misshapen 'fro to a sopshisticated pixie-ish do that I've recieved nothing but compliments on. She's sweet, friendly and works in ALL ty[es of hair so you won't find her shying away from your bird's nest any time soon. Highly, highly recommended!

• I have been to very expensive hair salons specializing in curly hair, and have never liked the way anyone has cut my hair. There is usually no style to it, but Andrea Palumbos manages to make my curls look great and styled. She asks a lot of questions, and almost immediately understands what I want. I have taken friends to her and seen her work the same way with them, and they have all been more than happy with her service. I will not being getting my hair cut or dyed by anyone but Andrea while I live in NYC.

• I third the Andrea Palumbos recommendation. I have super curly hair to the point strangers on the subway want to touch it. I usually say no to them, but I let Andrea approach it with scissors in hand.

• At which salon does Andrea work?

• Aryn cut my hair and touched up my roots today. She did a great job on both cut and color and she was very pleasant and easy to talk to she was also very caring and patient with my very small children crawling at our feet during the cut!

  For any curly girls that are looking for a Devachan trained stylist who respects curls she is a great option.

• Thanks Rachel -- I have an appointment with her today and can't wait to try a Brokelyn favorite...

• Okay, the women of Brokelyn are not wrong. Aryn did a wonderful job at half of Devachan's prices. She's absolutely lovely, and a hugely talented stylist.

• I cancelled my appointment with Devachan and emailed Aryn about an appointment but i haven't heard from her yet. Its been a week!

  Hope she get's back to me before the end of December cause i'm moving back to Canada! haha
