About

Gem House Salon was founded by a married couple who live locally, and the business is still led by its founder, Elle Westby, who also works as a stylist. The team is made up of hair stylists, a colorist and apprentices, and the salon describes its people as talented artists who can carry out a client's creative ideas.

The menu is grouped into Haircuts & Styling, Color & Highlights, and Treatments & More, with a separate set of Wedding Services. Color work includes balayage and lived-in color, blonde highlights, grey blending and double process color, and every color service includes a professional blowdry or diffuse and a gloss. Keratin smoothing is offered with two options, and a range of add-on treatments is named after gemstones. A visit is meant to be relaxed, and a beverage is available during your appointment. The salon recommends sulfate-free products and sells the Davines line it uses. Bridal clients can book hair or hair and makeup packages that include a trial, the wedding day and guest services, with travel within Manhattan and Brooklyn included.

Street parking is available when open. A garage is three blocks away on India Street, and the salon suggests reserving a spot ahead of time through SpotHero because it can fill up. The G train at Greenpoint Avenue is about a three-minute walk.

Built around skilled cutting and color, with a team that is encouraged to keep learning and treatments customized to each client's hair.

A relaxed space where guests can have a drink during their service.
