About

Founded in 1990 with a single chair and one stylist, Level 1 Beauty Lounge is a Brooklyn salon on Church Avenue. It stands between Church Avenue and Rogers Avenue, near the 2 and 5 subway trains at Church Avenue. Terrance Dowden owns the salon and also styles hair there.

The menu covers women's, men's and kids' haircuts, blow-dry and curl styling, flat iron finishing, color work from full color to balayage and gray coverage, and braid and extension services. Nails, waxing, eyelash extensions and body massage are also offered. Hair, nails, waxing, massage and lashes can be combined in one appointment, and kids, parents and grandparents can book together. Long services such as braids, wig installations and full-body waxing need an early start to finish before closing, so it helps to mention them when booking.

Each visit starts with a consultation, where the stylist asks what the client wants before suggesting services. Haircut pricing depends on hair length, density and how much styling is involved, and the final price is confirmed at the consultation; pricing can change if services are added or changed. If the plan shifts during a service, the client is told before the change is made. Aftercare advice for keeping results at home is given at the end of each visit, and clients are usually rebooked before they leave. Tools are cleaned and sanitized between every client.

To book, call or text 718-856-7575, or request a quote through the Contact page by sending a photo or short video of your current hair along with an inspiration photo. Clients from outside Brooklyn, including other states and overseas, can request appointments. Hours run Tuesday through Saturday, 10:00 AM to 6:30 PM, with the last client seen at 6:30 PM. Sunday visits are by appointment only. The salon reports a 5 average rating from 31 verified customer reviews. It also travels for weddings, special occasions and birthdays.

Each visit begins with a consultation in which the stylist learns what the client wants, then recommends services based on the desired look, hair type and routine.
