It's been a while since I checked in with stylist Brooke Hunt and her private hair studio The Bird House at 490 Court Street at the corner of Luquer Street here in Carroll Gardens. The salon is now just a bit over a year old and things have been going very well for Brooke. As a matter of fact, she just got some great news. She was just contacted by YELP because, as it turns out, The Bird House is one of the highest-rated salons on YELP in all of New York City.   How cool is that?   Especially for a one-person business in Brooklyn?
According to YELP,  The Bird House also offers one of the best selling deals the review site has ever had.
Take advantage of that deal here.
Congratulations, Brooke.

Brooke Hunt has always been passionate about hair and for as long as she remembers, she has dreamt of opening her own salon, where she could pamper clients and make them look their best.
Her dream became a reality when she recently opened Bird House, her private hair studio at 490 Court Street at the corner of Luquer Street.

Brooke, a Minnesota native, who moved Carroll Gardens three years ago, is super friendly and clearly loves what she does. Running her own salon allows Brooke one-on-one time with her customers and gives her flexibility to give them extra attention. She welcomes clients with a cup of coffee in the morning and with a glass of wine in the afternoon, or "or vice versa if you are in the mood." When I stopped by on Friday afternoon, she was putting the finishing touches on a new haircut for client Blair, who was thrilled with the result.

So far, Brooke accepts appointments for women, men, and children on Thursday, Friday and Saturday and on some Sundays. Besides haircuts, the salon offers coloring and combination packages as well as deep conditioning treatments.

For those who wonder about the name of the salon, Brooke explains that it is an homage to her young daughter, whose nickname is Birdie.
