Hair Definition has operated for over a decade from its Merrick Boulevard location. The salon was founded in 2005 by Bubbles Appearance Enhancer (B.A.E.), who also works there as a stylist. The salon describes itself as a community staple known for creative hairstyles, skilled stylists and its environment, and a Booksy listing shows a 4.8 average rating from 242 reviews.
The salon's view is that a salon should be more than a place where hair simply gets done. Beyond styling, it runs self-empowerment events and hair education classes, and offers a relaxing setting and space for clients who need to conduct business. A weekly blog covers salon news and hair care advice.
Booking is done through the website's booking link. New clients need a consultation first, and anyone unsure which service they need can add a note in the message box or book a close option that is corrected at the appointment. Services are priced a la carte. Full-service appointments start at 11 AM and partial services are booked after 12 PM. Guests are not allowed, there is no waiting area, and clients should not pre-shampoo before an appointment. Scalp, allergy or hair concerns can be noted in the booking app.
Hours are Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday from 10:30 AM to 6:30 PM, Thursday from 10 AM to 7 PM, and closed Sunday and Monday. Virtual consultations are paid by Zelle before the appointment is confirmed. The salon accepts credit cards, offers Wi-Fi and runs a loyalty program. Handwashing is available, and surfaces and workstations are disinfected between clients.
Services cover knotless, box, lemonade, stitch, feed-in, crochet, Fulani and viral butterfly braids, natural and traditional cornrows, loc and twist work including retwists, interlocs and starter locs, color from balayage to skunk stripes and two-step lightening, cuts from clipper and razor work to short shapes, relaxers, and sew-ins with lace frontal options. Mortuary hair services are offered, best booked two weeks ahead with payment due before the service. Lace frontals are dropped off three days before the appointment, and custom closure units seven days before the desired pickup date, with the install booked separately.
Puts weight on hair health, with a steam hydration treatment and advice on keeping color and moisture going between salon visits.
