For years, I went to Manhattan salons ($150 a pop for a cut and single-process color) until several neighbors on the local Kensington-Windsor Terrace Yahoo Group recommended Hair Care by Yolanda. After nearly two decades of Manhattan salon visits—including that one time in the ’90s when I went for a cheap Upper West Side haircut and ended up with a “Rachel” that was longer on one side—I decided to give it a try. While the outside of the place doesn’t broadcast chic, owner Yolanda did—and continues to do—a fantastic job with my hair, leaving the bob a little longer in the front and artfully stacking it in back. The whole thing cost $70, less than half of what I used to pay. Hair Care by Yolanda, 142 E. 4th Street, Windsor Terrace, 718-437-4270.

was this $70 for cut AND color????
It was…though I think it might be partly because I have short hair. If you have longer hair it’s possible it might be a little more. You’d have to check with them, though. But I was happy!
I’ve been taking the whole family to Yolanda for a few months now — everyone’s happy.
FYI, Hair Care by Yolanda is in Windsor Terrace, not in Kensington.
Joyrich, That side of the Prospect Expressway is Kensington. It’s just over the footbridge from Windsor Terrace. I’ve heard great things about Yolanda and her daughter (who I think is the primary colorist). I’m gonna take a leap.
FYI Windsor Terrace is bordered by Prospect Park, Greenwood Cemetery, Caton Avenue and Prospect Park West (9th Avenue).
