PILO ARTS 2011 YEAR END LETTER
 


I hope my year end letter finds you in good spirits and in good fortune.  Though this correspondence is being extended to all 18,000 active clients of Pilo Arts, I hope my thanks is truly received on an individual basis.

Watching our nation struggle through the worst recession in history, it is important that you know how much your patronage and loyalty is appreciated by me, my partners and my staff.

It is your continued support that has allowed Pilo Arts to grow in these difficult times, and for that, I wanted to extend to you my sincere best wishes for the coming year.

For those of you who I have not had the opportunity to meet, please allow me to introduce myself.  My name is Jude LaBarca.  I joined Pilo Arts in 1997 with the purpose of bringing the company into the modern age.  By the end of 1999, my business systems grew Pilo's annual revenue by 60% resulting in a $1 million dollar renovation completely paid for by our growth.  It was a magical time!  To have experienced such enormous growth, considering that the company had already been in existence for 21 years, it was a testament to what hard work a perseverance could accomplish.

In 2000, I was promoted to Chief Executive Officer and given equal ownership by my partners Elena Solitario and Paul Pastore.  My focus of having the New York community recognize Pilo Arts as the leader in the beauty industry has been unyielding.  Little did I know the greatest challenges were still to come.  The dot com recession of 2001, the tragedy of 911, unfair competition by businesses engaged in fraudulent and unethical business practices, and The Great Recession of 2007, which for many of us has not ended.

With each year's passing, Pilo Arts has risen to the top, maintaining its integrity and relentless work ethic to become a leader in New York's Beauty Industry.  In many of the emails that I sent to you, the header reads as follows:
Ranked as one of the Top 5 Color Salons in the State of New York for four years in a row (2007, 2008, 2009 & 2010).

The State of New York's leading philanthropic salon, donating over $1.5 million in services annually.

Brooklyn's and Staten Island's largest salon, 7000 square feet, complimented with a staff of over 50 professionals.

Brooklyn's and Staten Island's leading salon for Hair Design, performing over $2.5 million in annual services.

Brooklyn's and Staten Island's most awarded and written about salon, 87 Press Articles, 65 Awards & Counting!

Outstanding member of the elite and exclusive hair salon organization Intercoiffure Mondial.
Your loyalty and commitment to the Pilo Arts brand is the primary reason that we are able to achieve these accomplishments.  I can assure you that Pilo Arts will never take that for granted.  We will not rest on our laurels.  Each year we strive to improve upon the last, so that Pilo Arts can demonstrate to you, our clients, our true appreciation of your continued commitment.

Below you will find a list of Pilo's 2011 achievements that I am most proud of, and I hope will confirm the trust that you have placed in our brand.  As to the coming year, 2012, Pilo Arts will be entering its 35th year of operations.  I  promise you that Pilo Arts will continue to strive for excellence in the services that we provide.  We intend to expand the styling department from 26 hair designers to 32.  So please excuse the inconvenience of the renovations that are scheduled for July.  Our spa will also undergo a transformation, which you will find out about in the coming months.  I apologize for the secrecy, but I believe you will be elated with the changes.  I will continue to keep you current about achievements throughout the year.

And finally, Thank You!  Thank you for growing our company in the worst financial period of our nations history.  Thank you for believing in us.  Thank you for your loyalty and thank you for spreading the word to your friends and family, that Pilo Arts is New York's Beauty Industry Leader.

From myself, my partners and my Staff, we wish you a safe and happy New Year.

PILO ARTS' 2011 SIGNIFICANT ACHIEVEMENTS
 
 



The State of New York's leading philanthropic salon!

Thank you Senator Marty Golden. Your constant acknowledgement of Pilo Arts' philanthropic efforts has allowed our company to be a beacon of assistance to the many New York charities and civic organizations needing help in their fund raising efforts.

Pilo Arts does not have dedicated personnel who can reach out to the community and offer assistance.  Rather, our ability to donate over $1.5 million in services per year is solely accomplished by word of mouth, whereby the charities contact Pilo Arts.  Senator Golden's recognition through the years has significantly enhanced our philanthropic visibility for those of need.  Pilo Arts NEVER refuses a charity's or a civic organization's request for assistance, no matter how many events they have per year.  So as long as you keep sending them our way, Pilo Arts is committed to giving back to the community with unending support.

As many of you know, Marty is a well respected New York State Senator, with his roots strongly planted in Bay Ridge.  His constant dedication toward assisting local charities and civic organizations can only be described as relentless.  I can tell you from my own experience how active Senator Golden is in the Brooklyn community. Each time Pilo Arts attends a local charity or civic group event, Marty is there, doing his best to help.  Attending two or three charitable events per day is not uncommon for this great public servant.  It is not in his nature to do any less.  I can still remember vividly, during the 911 tragedy, how Marty was lining up trucks on Third Avenue, to bring aide and supplies to our Fire Fighters at ground zero. His leadership was so powerful and moving. His actions reminded me of the movie Patton, when the General was directing his tanks on the road to victory. He is an incredible leader of our community who has transcended party lines.   Thank you Marty.
 
 

             
          

You can be proud that you support a legitimate business!

We strive to make you proud of your patronage.  Each year we donate over $1.5 million dollars in services to local charities and organizations, with no tax benefit.

You will also be proud to know that Pilo Arts supports its community by conducting its business legitimately. You can be proud that you support a company that is doing its share to pay the costs of our nation by properly paying all of its taxes.

I would also like to thank our staff for their commitment and LOYALTY to work with Pilo in a legitimate business manner, which means, they report all of their income to the government.  When so many of Pilo's competitors are offering off the books income incentives, their loyalty in choosing to remain with Pilo, speaks volumes about their character and the integrity of Pilo Arts.

Forgive me if I go off on a tangent, but I am so passionate about my team, their achievements and their ability to compete in the community, while adhering to such high moral and ethical standards.
 
 


Recognized as one of the
Top 5 Color Salons in the State of New York.
That's 4 years in a row!
Since 2007, this award has been handed out nationally to Schwarzkopf's best accounts.  Pilo Arts has received this award each year.   Thank you Schwarzkopf and Paramount for the recognition.  I hope you realize that our trip to Germany with you 14 years ago paid off.

This achievement has an even greater significance when you take into account that the State of New York has over 12,000 salons and New Jersey has over 8,000 salons.  According to Paramount Beauty, Pilo Arts ranks among each state's Top 5 Color Salons.  Wow!   Our growth in 2011 only leads me to believe that we will again reach this achievement.

Thank you Paramount for your commitment to the extensive monthly training that you have provided Pilo with for the past 14 years.  As a client of Pilo, you may not be aware that Pilo Arts provides advanced avant garde color education on premises for all of its stylists, every month. This program of studies has been ongoing for over a decade, and Paramount has been the primary contributor of Regional, National and International Color Educators. Thank you Evan for the 14 year commitment of making Pilo's goal of becoming one of New York's top color salons come true.

Thanks also to the staff of Pilo Arts.  Their commitment to continuing education is what makes Pilo's color team an industry leader.

And finally, thank you!  I speak for all 26 of our colorists when I say, we couldn't do it without your support and that of the community.

Fourteen years ago I made a commitment toward making Pilo Arts the Nation's premier colour salon.  Pilo retrained its styling staff to become expert colorists.  We brought in renowned color educators from all over the country, and who to this day continue to educate our staff.  When choosing a color line, I committed Pilo to use the highest quality color products, and unlike other salons who compromise quality to lower expenses, the high cost for these products did not deter us from their use.

Seeking to become a trend setter and leader in our industry, I committed Pilo Arts to join the elite stylist organization, Intercoiffure Mondial.  This exclusive membership allows Pilo Arts to interact with the leading colorists and stylists from all over the world.  Our Founders, Elena Solitario & Paul Pastore, have been outstanding members of Intercoiffure since 1999.  Our Color Director, Don Orlando, is a member of the exclusive American Board of Certified Hair Colorists, and our former Education Director, Tony Sanchez, is an accomplished color educator who continues to mentor and develop our young colorists.

Finally, I would once again like to thank you for your support, loyalty and making Pilo Arts one of New York's best color salons. 
 
 

 
 
 

The Community Newspaper Group (CNG) recently published the

"Brooklyn 200"

which was inserted in the
THE NEW YORK POST

The article honoring Pilo Arts as being one of Brooklyn's
"best and brightest" businesses is enclosed for your review.

THE BROOKLYN 200
Pilo Arts Day Spa & Salon
Keeping Brooklyn looking and feeling great
BY SHAVANA ABRUZZO

 A recent storm put a crimp in Long Island resident Joan McCourt's beauty regimen - a bi-monthly ritual she keeps by schlepping nearly 60 miles from her home to Pilo Arts Day Spa and Salon in Bay Ridge to "get the whole nine yards done."

The former Dyker Heights woman was eager to return to Pilo where she has been a faithful client of co-founder and former stylist Elena Solitario for 51 years - well before Pilo's inception.

"I get lots of compliments when I leave there," says Mc- Court, who is primped, pampered and treated like family at the elegant salon, a beloved fixture on Third Ave. between 84th and 85th streets since 1978 - and a "Brooklyn 200" business that has helped to shape the borough.

McCourt's trek to one of the top three hair color salons in New York and New Jersey - an honor Pilo was conferred this year by Paramount Beauty Distributors - is proof enough that when you look good, you feel good.

That philosophy has propelled the award-winning salon on the cutting edge of artistry and style while it revolutionizes the industry: Pilo was the first salon in Bay Ridge to offer a day spa, and the first in the business to open a bridal boutique.

An undercover 2002 New York Post article about overpriced beauty parlors even reported that Pilo was "a salon that does hair right."

Solitario, and co-founders Paul Pastore and Jude LaBarca, Esq., have placed their environmentally-friendly salon on the glamor map by offering clients Madison Avenue-worthy services, and gussying-up the likes of Fox 5 journalist Rosanna Scotto, radio personality Goumba Johnny and actor Tony Lo Bianco, among other celebrities.

Pilo's success - it performed more than $2.5 million in annual services last year - depends on the expertise of her staff, explains Solitario, who opened her first salon in Bay Ridge at the age of 18.

Nowadays, she and Pastore ensure their stylists exceed standards by routinely sending them to industry seminars and inviting experts along for in-house tutorials, while leading regular sessions on trends, techniques and more.

Pilo's reputation has delivered it major bragging rights: it is one of a handful of salons in the country to be a member of Intercoiffure Mondial, the most prestigious and influential organization in the business.

"Pilo Arts represents the very best of the best salons," states Lois Christie, Intercoiffure's district president.

The salon confirms as much by providing free and discounted services to recession- weary clients so that they can attend job interviews with confidence.

"We want to let them know that we are supporting them now, just like they've supported us all these years," says Director of Operations Vicky Galiatsatos.

Pilo's karma is well-turned- out, too.
Each year, it donates more than a million dollars in services to nearly 500 charities and civic groups, without a tax benefit.


That type of bold enterprise has made Pilo Arts Day Spa and Salon a cut above the rest - and a proud "Brooklyn 200" business.

CONGRATULATIONS
by Nconsumer at Citysearch on 12/9/09
Mr Labarca,
Firstly, I just wanted to take this opportunity, After recognizing you the other night at "Uncle Vinny's comedy club" to CONGRATULATE you and your absolutely STUNNING fiance on the upcoming arrival of your son. If he looks anything like the 2 of you he's going to be one handsome little boy.
Secondly, it's been years, since I moved to Staten Island, that I was last in Pilo. Seeing you, and dare I say, better half ;-) reminded me of what great people work there which has inspired me not to be lazy and take the drive into brooklyn to experience you outstanding services. I say OUTSTANDING because when I went there, I received nothing but that and am confident nothing has changed in that domain.
I am looking forward to returning to your salon. I wish you and fiance all the best with the baby, and a very happy and healthy 2010 :-)		 the greatest!
by niveasony at Citysearch on 3/30/09
people dont listen too what people write on this.

i always go here, for my color and haircut.
Don is the best colorist ever,

I go to Pilo because i love their serivce, and i am happy.
Pros: Example: best croissants in town
Cons: What are the drawbacks?
Great Salon!!
By Sarah M. at Brooklyn Daily Eagle on 2/4/10
This is a wonderful Salon. Are they pricey?? Yeah...but all the good Salons in Bay Ridge are! I started out with Victoria....one day she was busy, so I used Mo....and have gone to him ever since. He's a creative stylist, so his cut costs a little under $50. But here's why I love this salon....I hadn't had a haircut in a while...so they sent me an email asking what they could do to get me back in. I told them that I wanted a discount....well, they did one better---A complimenarty haircut!! Plus, when I went to get my free haircute, I got a voucher for a free manicure! Now, that's a good salon...plus they always have some promo going on if you sign up on their email list.
 		 by far the best salon experience
by satisfied customer at Yahoo.com on 10/13/2008
Pilo Arts is by far the best salon experience I have had in all of the metro area. I have lived in Manhattan for 13 years and have visited many top notch salons. Pilo blew me away. Their service was exceptional, the price, compared to what I pay in manhattan, was relatively inexpensive and I walked out feeling like a million dollars. I now commute to Brooklyn every time I need my hair done, a facial or massage. I have and would highly recommend Pilo Arts. GREAT JOB keep it up.
THANK YOU
Great place for a retreat!
by organist4ever at Citysearch 3/29/09
I have recently had my hair colored by Don and styled by Mohammed. These two gentlemen made my day when they put their professional touch on my red-head trusses! Also a few weeks prior...I have received an indulging facial from Bella whom I have been going to for years. I felt so pampered and relaxed that I did not want to wake up when the treatment was over. She also does the best waxing services this side of down state New York! Give them a try...you'll be pleased trust me! The front desk staff is also very friendly and courteous!
Pros: Best Hair Stylists, Colorists and Aestheticians in NY!
Cons: parking		 THIS SALON IS GREAT! MARIA IS #1 IN MY BOOK!!!!!
by v8girl at Citysearch on 3/23/09
I CAME TO PILO ARTS TO CORRECT MY COLOR FROM SOME OTHER SALON I WILL NOT NAME. THEY OFFERED ME MARIA. I HAD MY DOUBTS BUT SHE WAS VERY PROFESSIONAL AND LISTENED TO EVERYTHING I WANTED . SHE DID EVERYTHING I ASKED OF HER EVEN THOUGH IT WAS ALOT OF WORK. SHE MADE MY HAIR LOOK BEAUTIFUL . THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A SALON THAT HAS MADE ME FEEL MORE COMFORTABLE THEN THE STAFF AT PILO ARTS EXPECIALLY MARIA. THE PRICES ARE VERY REASONABLE AND THE WORK IS EXCEPTIONAL. MARIA GETS MY VOTE AS #1 HAIRSTYLIST AT PILO ARTS!!!
Pros: AWESOME COLOR, CUT , AND BLOWOUT FROM MARIA
Cons: NONE
Best Facial!!!!!  5 stars
by amira at Insiderpages on 2/3/10
I visited Pilo Arts because I needed a facial so bad. I had so many blackheads and whiteheads that made my skin break out every day and needed to remove them. Everytime I went for a facial in Staten Island they ended up making my face worse, and made my skin break out even more. After having the 55 min facial and massage with Tasneem, I felt wonderful. She cleaned my face til I had no more blackheads and she also removed some whitehead that were near my eyes that were very hard to get rid of. I was going to a dermatologist for this problem I had with my skin, but she took care of it and saved me a lot of money. Pilo Arts should hire more people like her, she makes you feel very comfortable, Thanks again Tasneem!!!!!!!! You made me feel fantastic after......I GUESS YOU WILL BE SEEING ME EVERY MONTH!!!!!!!!!
 		 I LOVE PILO!
by a Yahoo! Local User 02/01/2006
 The people here were so friendly an my nails look so good. I can't wait to go back again. I am going to tell all my friends to go to Pilo!
AWSOME BLOWOUTS!
by gigibotz at Citysearch on 3/22/09
I USUALLY SEE MOE FOR A BLOWDRY ONCE A WEEK! BUT TODAY I HAD TO SEE SOMEBODY ELSE BECAUSE HE WAS NOT IN. I MUST SAY I WAS NERVOUS, I ALWAYS SEE THE SAME HAIRDRESSER. BUT WHEN I TELL YOU THE YOUNG LADY, MARIA, THAT DID MY BLOWOUT WAS JUST AS FABULOUS! THIS SALON IS HONESTLY HAS GREAT REPUTATION! AND IN MY BOOK IT IS THE BEST IN BAY RIDGE OR IN BROOKLYN FOR THAT MATTER! I WOULDN'T GO ANYWHERE ELSE!
Pros: EVERYTHING!
Cons: VERY BUSY/NO VALET		 ABSOLUTLY WONDERFUL!
by nicolet at Citysearch on 3/22/09
I was reffered to a hairdresser named Maria by my granddaughter. She was so accomodating she actually came in from Staten Island on HER DAY OFF to give me a haircut! She listened and did exactly what I wanted! They gave me a complimentary conditioning treatment along with a mini makeup application, done by Susan, also a very pleasant woman! Besides the hairdresser and make up artist I was taken by the front desk customer service! The owner made me a delicious capuccino as well! OVERALL.. GREAT SERVICE! FRIENDLY PEOPLE! WONDERFUL ATMOSPHRE TO BE IN! I WILL DEFFINATLY BE GOING BACK!
Pros: GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE/ GREAT APPERANCE
Cons: PARKING
Don= Best Colorist
Tony & Mohammed= Best Cut
by Marie M. at Yelp.com on 1/31/2010
I love the Pilo experience: wine, cappacinos, oh my!
I must admit their massages left me with something to be desired, but maybe it was the person I had. Anyway, I had facials, makeup, blow outs, hilights, cuts, and eyelashes done at Pilo and I'm happy everytime!		 Paul Beautifes me everytime!!!
by a Yahoo! Local User 01/30/2006
 Everytime I leave the salon after seeing Paul, I feel fabulous! Noone has ever cut my hair the way he does. He asks first and then proceeds to do exactly what you want, but better than you could've imagined! His staff is friendly, courteous and helpful. It's always blast going to Pilo!
WOW!
 by meandonlyme at Citysearch on 3/20/09
I drove my wife to try another hair place. This time it was in Brooklyn. We are from Manhattan. I was not sure why she picked this palce. But i soon found out.
I droped her off a looked for a parking spot on 3rd ave, which was not easy. Finally i walked into the salon and my wife had checked in with the front desk after waiting on a small line. Imediatly were were wisked away to this most fabulous waiting area. Available was almost any refreshment or snack available. A gentle men walked in and asked where i parked and if i would need anybody to watch my meter. NICE! I dont know how they do it. The place was jammed and it was a thursday. But everything was moving smoothly. They came for my wife and she began what she told me later was a dream salon come true. A while later a person came by and told me not to worry about my meter -it was taken of. The colorist came over soon later and told me her color was processing and she would be getting her haircut soon. About 45 min later another person told me my wife was almost finnished and i could meet her in the front of the place. And sure enough she appeared and looked great. After she paid someone wisked her over to a makeup applier and got a complimentry makeup. Really nice people. I still cant figure out how they do it. 2 very attrative women, i think they were managers thanked us for coming. And said hope to see you again. They will.
Pros: Great value, service
Cons: Very busy, had to wait in line to check in		 Worth Every Penny!!! Felt Like a Vacation!!
by Sxybbychris at Citysearch on 2/6/09
I was at pilo arts just yesterday getting services done. I decided that I work too hard and it was time for a "Christina Day." Upon entering, I was greeted with smiles of radiance and such great courtesy. The assistant came to get me, and I was ready to be washed and soon to look and feel fabulous in a matter of minutes. When I sat in Mo's chair, he smiled and introduced himself and got straight to the point of asking ME what it was that I wanted. I had brought a cut out of the color and stlye I was looking for and he got to work. Throughout my time in his chair, he interacted with me, making sure that I was happy with the services. The color came out amazing, far better then what I had expected it to be, as was the cut, which he cut perfectly down to the last strand of hair. It was an overall wonderfull experience and I will surley be returning again.
Pros: Good service, cheery and polite staff		 Book with Jayne!‎
By JimmyShrugs at maps.google.com - Jul 21, 2009
I had heard all the horror stories about PA, but had a gift certificate, so I had no choice but to use it. I was "assigned" jayne, and have been going to her ever since--about 3 years now. She does my cuts, color and recently gave me highlights that I got a million compliments on. She is always honest with me, telling me when I need to take off more than my usual 1/2 inch and last spring she gave me bangs to die for. I used the spa once for a Brazillian, and it was just ok, hence the 4 star review. i have thought about changing to a salon closer to my home, but I just can't take the chance! Jayne is brilliant and so, so sweet!‎ 		Beautiful updo's:
by collasi45 at yahoo.com on 01/29/2006
The salon was great .I got married last month just want to say they do such great updo's. If you need any type of updo or down do, this is the place to go.
massage
by byrdge at Citysearch on 9/5/08
best massage here...can't remember my masseuses name but ask for the little one. she does great deep tissue massage		 fabulous- my new favorite spot!
by jingi26 at Citysearch on 10/23/06
I had been meaning to get a facial for some time & I am so glad I finally did it! I have instantly become a regular customer. I don't know what these other reviews are talking about- the entire front desk staff was nothing but polite and helpful. I stopped in to make an appointment during the 3rd Ave Festival and didn't know who to go to. I couldn't have been happier with Yolanda- she is amazing and couldn't be sweeter. I am a former hairstylist and worked in a spa for years- I know how these places often work & was expected an attempt at an upsell but I never got one- not even for products (but I bought lots of Dermalogica anyway!). I have absolutely nothing bad to say about Pilo Arts. Go and relax and you will be happy.
Pros: Yolanda, Dermalogica
Cons: ???		 My husband and I enjoy Pilo Arts...
by Michelle P. at Yelp.com on 8/9/2009
so much that we recently moved all the way out to LIC and are still making the trip for this place.
Is it the warm reception: attentive reception desk, actual coat check, then asked what you would like to drink... (i've had everything from mimosas to cappuccinos while my husband has enjoyed a scotch)
Or is it the A+ stylings of their hair dressers? (I love the way I look and feel by the time I leave this joint)
...I'm not going to decide. Will you?		 Don Orlando Hair Colorist:
by dbo1959 at Yahoo.com on 01/23/2006
I had been to another salon and they ruined my hair. It was Sunday and i freaked. I was driving down 3rd av and saw someone walk out of a Pilo Arts with great hair color. When i entered i knew i was in good hands. i was greated by a handsome gent named Don. He eased my pain by explaining exactly what needed to be done to correct my hair catastrophe. When my hair was blown afterward i knew this is my new salon 4 ever.
Tania is fantastic!
by jgrazina at Citysearch on 8/2/06
Tania did a fabulous job on my hair and its not an easy cut either! I've been going to the same hairstylist for years and was leery about switching but Tania took her time with me-evaluated my face recommended the best length, layers, style, etc.........And the result was exceptional! Thanks for a stress free mood elevating experience!!
Pros: service, speed, skill		 Don is King of Color and Tania is Queen of Hair!
by lilmissapprentice at Citysearch on 3/7/06
I have been going to Don for my color and Tania for my hair for months now! Don's color knowledge, and expertise has turned my hair color from loud to sophisticated! Tania's hair knowledge and expertise has turned my hair from botch jobs...to total modern classiness! Marie Antoinette is a side kick for Don that treats you like royalty, and she should be a perfect example to all up and coming apprentices in the salon. Her hair treaments and shampoo techniques are top knotch and the main reason why I specifically make my color and hair appointments on Thursdays. The finishing touches that are done courtesy of the make-up staff...help enhance my straight out the magazine look! I love you all! Don't Change...Keep up the Great Work! Just hire a valet to park my SUV, and my parking troubles will be over!
Pros: Well Trained Staff, Calming Atmosphere, Near my house
Cons: Parking, Parking, Parking		 I had my hair done by Dana.

I had my hair done by Dana. My curls were set by Mayor. Both were very friendly & conversed with me throughout. I was taken in right away & finished in decent time of 2 hours. They offer you a nice selection of beverages & have a coat check. All the stylists have photo books of all of their own work which really helped know their strengths & therefore made choosing a style simpler. I had clip in extensions put in & they were really secured fantastically. Dana was so helpful in trying & playing around with different styles since I didn't have a trial. My 2 dislikes: the curls were not set tight enough in the extensions and fell out before the ceremony while my actual hair stayed curly (didn't look bad but not what I wanted) & the price with tax was very high-$182 (not including tip). 		i love this place:
by a Yahoo! Local User on 01/18/2006

I've been going to Pilo for over five years and I won't go anywhere else.
I go to Olympia for cut and color ... and I always get what I want.
She's the best, very honest, very helpful, amazing eye for color and always always give the best cuts ... Olympia did my up do for my wedding years ago ... I knew then I'd be a lifelong client. Everyone at Pilo is so friendly, great attitudes, excellent skill (and a great cup of cappuccino!!!) I always feel taken care of at Pilo.
From a true New Yorker ... Bravo Pilo !!!!

Every experience at Pilo is always wonderful. The front desk is always inviting. The managers are always extremely accommodating. The styling is exceptional. The spa relaxing. Pilo's make-up artists always provide services which enhance my natural beauty....The list goes on.... I usually go weekly for a blow out.. When my usual stylist isn't available, the receptionists refer me to someone else, and am always satisfied. Never one bad experience. Highly recommended.

Was very sceptical about changing my salon of 20 plus years, I felt unconfortable but once I entered the salon and was greated and felt at home. My recomendation was high but I had even higher expectations. For the least they were fulfilled and then some, I changed my style of 20 years and my normal colour of 10 years to a new younger me and I LOVE IT. Thank you Stefanie your new client Marie.

I have 2 crazy little boys and they can be a handful sometime, so when i take them to get a haircut I prepare for the worst. But at Pilo Arts, The staff was very accomodating to them and myself. Not to mention Patient. Ivan Gave them both great haircuts and made them feel comfortable. I also got a haircut and his assistant kept my boys entertained while i relaxed for a bit. So if you got kids and need a day of haircuts, go to Pilo!

As a recent transplant to Brooklyn I was in need of somewhere to get my hair permanently straightened - it was time to touch up the Japanese hair straightening done to my unruly mess and I could not find hardly anywhere in Brooklyn to do it. The few salons I talked to were rude or snooty but the staff at Pilo was very friendly on the phone. I spent about four hours with Tony today and left with completely perfect straight hair. I can honestly say it was the best job ANYONE has ever done using the Japanese straightening technique on my hair. Tony was lovely, funny, and friendly and the staff at Pilo was extremely nice. In six months when it's time for more touchups you can bet I will go nowhere else but here. Highly recommend!		 The Sweetest Perfection:

You have my word for it- no regrets! I travel from OH to NY to get my hair cut and its well worth it! It may be pricey- "you get what you pay for!" You don't even need anything in mind to suggest to her she will make you walk out the salon with your head up high with superior style!‎ 		an amazing place in brooklyn:

Definitely not a typical Brooklyn Spa. It is more of an upscale European Spa in its great tradition & of the Greenwich Village style where genuine friendliness, all welcome, artistically inclined with a touch of imagination and freedom is felt.
The uniques atmosphere of the holistic massage room is awesome and well suited for those who need more than a typical accommodations: the water fountain, crystals with prismatic light, and the surround sound with ambient and light trance sounds of Europe put you literally in a trance. Drinks are offered for free, private lockers, and a shower combined with a steam infused with essential oils given complimentary after the Spa treatments add the effect of forgetting the problems of everyday life and entering a retreat for the calming of the mind and body. A unique place slightly ahead of its time.

There is not just one thing that I can write about Pilos Arts because when I came here for the first time on Saturday everything intrigued and amazed me. From the greetings from the staff from the moment you walk in to all of the fellow clients until you leave, you feel that everything was well worth it. I was totally pampered at the spa with a facial w/ Sara and a massage by Stuart and then I got fabulous new cut and color by Kim. Pilo Arts keeps me feeling happy and young and I look forward to experiencing more things with them.

I just want to say that I was very impressed with the staff and overall services offered at Pilo Arts Day Spa & Salon. The customer service rivals the best day spas in the country, a rarity for New York City. I had the four layer facial with Bella and la stone therapy with stewart, and for the two hours that I spent in the spa, I was in total bliss. I then received a hair cut with Paul, who happens to be a member of Intercoiffure. The cut was incredible. I definitely going to return.

As soon as i entered the spa i was greeted with smiles and proceeded to have the best massage and facial i have ever had. The staff is very knowledgeable and pleasant.

I had received a gift card from my best friend for my birthday and it was the best experience of my life. I had a great hair cut with Olympia, a soothing facial with Bella and a relaxing massage with Jessica. From that point on, I have never even considered going to another salon again.

I recently received a gift certificate for a massage at Pilo Arts in Bay Ridge. I was told to see Stuart. I wasn't comfortable with a man therapist at first, but he was very professional while he worked. If you are overworked or simply like to pamper yourself, Stuart's your man. The spa is clean, the atmosphere comfortable, the steam shower awesome. My advice would be to get there early to sip on a complimentary mimosa or cappacino.

When I woke up on my wedding day to see it cold and rainy, it didn't start out the way I planned. When I got to Pilo Arts, I was greeted with a warm and hospitable staff. I sat in the chair of their make-up artist, Suzanne, who came highly recommended. My make-up looked natural, yet elegant. I received my proofs, and I must say, I looked like a princess! Thank you Pilo Arts!
And I must say she ended my beauty time perfectly. Her calm nature kept me even toned and she worked very swiftly and professionally. I was so glad that my day had turned around and I have to thank Pilo Arts for that!

I visited your salon to have my color corrected from a mistake made by one of your competators. I was directed to see Riccardo by a wonderful young lady from the front desk. Her name was Melissa.I wanted to be brought back, as close as I could, to my natural color. Riccardo talked with me for quite some time before he formulated my color. I was served champagne and made to feel comfortable. The atmosphere in the color department was friendly and professional. After lightening my hair and putting some final low-lites, Riccardo made me feel and look like my old self. It was my daughters wedding the next weekend. My daughter and my husband both couldn't get over the rejuvination of my hair. He is definatly a five star colorist. Thanks to Riccardo, I felt as pretty as the bride. The only complaint I might have is the parking conditions are not so great due to all the business in the area. Great restaurants. Thanking you again, Claudia Piazza
Best Birthday Ever
Posted by brooklyngirl4life at Citysearch on 11/30/2005
It was my birthday recently, and my family had surprised me with a gift certificate for a one hour facial and massage from Pilo Arts. I knew immediately that I needed to call up as soon as possible since it is one of the most popular salons in Brooklyn and the appointments fill up really quickly there. When I called up later on that day, one of the lovely receptionists had answered the phone and helped me schedule an appointment for that weekend, which was exactly what I needed. And, from that point on, I became even more amazed. The massage with Jessica and the facial with Bella were wonderful including the relaxing steam shower that I took after all of my services. I felt like the most important birthday girl ever!

I took my little sister to Pilo Arts to get her hair and make-up done. It was my present to her. Ivan did her hair and Ilene did her make-up. She had never looked so beautiful before. She loved it and so did all her friends...not to mention her date! I can't wait until I have a special event to go to so I can do my hair and make-up done there also! I highly recommend Pilo Arts, especially if you have a special night planned!

I recently visited Pilo Arts for the first time and it was well worth the trip, being a Manhattanite. I was pampered from the time I walked in until the time I left. Let me not forget the most important thing I finally found someone who listened and knew how to handle my hair. I will be back in a few weeks for my highlights and some more cappuccino.

I had the most enjoyable Sunday afternoon in Pilo Arts. I love it in there. From the massage I got with Leo, the facial with Mariola and the incredible haircut I got from Donna I didnt want to go home. On your next day off walk into Pilo Arts and ask one of the lovely receptionist to book you a Day of Beauty and let your stress melt away. Leave the rest up to them...Trust me you will not regret it.
At last!!

Pilo Arts is, by far, the best salon I have attended in all of New York. I have been to an immense amount of salons and none compare to Pilo Arts. The service is impeccable and the staff is friendly and courteous. Whether I am getting a simple manicure from LORI or a wax from BELLA, I am never disappointed. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this salon to absolutley anyone!!
Pilo is Magnificant
Posted by crazycat99 at Citysearch on 11/22/2005
Pilo Arts Day Spa and Salon is magnificent and promotes beauty and excellence. As I arrived, the doors of Pilo open and the pampering begins as the receptionist welcomed me into their home with coffee, tea, or wine. The atmosphere is awesome because it is a calm and stress free environment which caters to the needs of their clients. I have received many services at Pilo such as haircuts with the artistic team, color with the color department, and facials and massages after a hard and long day at work. Pilo keeps me coming back for more because I want to see and experience everything the salon has to offer. I look forward for that weekly reminder to confirm my appointment because I will soon have the pleasure of returning to Pilo. I highly recommend Pilo Arts Day Spa and Salon because the staff is talented, knowledgeable, and professional.

On my first visit to Pilo Arts I was wondering whether I would regret coming to the salon or whether it would be a great experience. My curiousity was confirmed - I had one of the most soothing and relaxing days that I hadnt had for years. I had an amazing day of pampering, including a wonderful massage that I never failed to remember when I had a stressful and tiring day.The outstanding services that I received at Pilo Arts has made me a faithful client for years.

Having a bad day, I was walking home from a long train ride.....never having went into Pilo Arts because I finally went in. Just walking into the salon my day turned around. The friendly and accommodating Front desk receptionist offered me everything to make me feel at home. I was given a cappuccino, had my coat check and seated in a special waiting area. Boy did I feel like Queen!! Even though the salon seemed to be very busy, the manager personally came to greeted me. One haircut turned to color, highlights, make up, eyebrow threading, & my nails done. Each department not only did a wonderful job but educated me with tips of how to keep up my new look. I was so impressed with all the talent that I found in one place. I think you too should give this salon a chance to make you beautiful.

Pilo Arts is by far the best day spa and salon I have ever been to. From the excellent massages to the perfect haircut I receieve every time I visit, this salon is one that everyone should give a try. I used to hate my hair before I got a life changing haircut from my stylist Nicholas. I have to say, he is brilliant!! I looked like a superstar. This is the #1 salon in Brooklyn.
Molto Bene!

I have to say that my day at Pilo Arts was absolutely fantastic. My girlfriend and I had a full Day of Beauty and I have never felt more refreshed and brand new in my life! After all my stressful hours at work, my massage and facial felt so relaxing and invigorating. My very handsome hair stylist Nicholas was amazing, and left me feeling like a movie star. My hair looked beautiful and healthy and the color was marvelous. He did a fantastic job. The staff did its best to make me feel at home and everyone who hasn't visited this salon should definitely give it a try. You won't be disappointed.

There was nothing I disliked about the time I spent in Pilo. It was well worth the money to get completely pampered for a day, especially since it relieves the stress that comes with being a single mom. I recommend this salon above all others in the Brooklyn area. Absolutely Outstanding.
You'' be satisfied

Pilo Arts is one of the best, if not the best, hair salons in the Tri-State area. Paul Pastore, the owner of Polio, has been cutting my hair for several years now and I've never left unhappy with my new cut. The staff is friendly and polite. I've recommended Pilo to several people and there has never been any negative feedback from their visit. Some people may say parking is tough, but where isn't parking tough in Brooklyn. The next time you need a hair cut for a special occasion or its just time for a haircut, I'd call Pilo and make an appointment because you wont be disappointed. And while you there, get your nails or make-up done and maybe enjoy a relaxing massage.
Pros: Best Hairdressers, Service

First Date
Posted by tries2hard at Citysearch on 11/18/2005
I was getting ready for a date on Friday night. I couldn't figure out how I should apply makeup to my face or what to do with my hair. I called Pilo hoping they would have an appointment available and they did. I had my hair blown out by Olympia and my makeup applied by Ilene. I must tell you I looked like a million dollars. Well, my first date has turned out to be a serious relationship. We're talking marriage here, and Ilene and Olympia did an outstanding job. I would definitely recommend them if you're trying to make a good, long lasting impression.

I came to New York from my hometown in Pennsylvania. I never knew how horrible my hair actually was until I noticed all the stares I received from people that walked by me. I asked a coworker, who always had fabulous hair, where she went to get her hair done. She recommended Pilo to me, and I decided to check it out online as well. It received great reviews and I figured what more was there to lose. So I went in for a consultation and met with Don for color and Ivan for a cut. I decided to book the appointment then and there. Lets just say my orange coif is no more. I now have healthy, radiant hair. Watch out New York because here I come. Right off of a Pantine ad! A+

I went to Pilo after trying different salons in Brooklyn. After many botched attempts, I found my salvation in Nicholas. He gave me a new look and made me feel ten years younger.

This was my first time at Pilo Arts after hearing many wonderful things about it. I had a massage and a facial. Apon arrival I was offered a drink and waited in a lovely waiting room with beautiful furniture and listened to soft music. I then was led to a room to change. During the massage and facial I was throurghly cared for, felt constantly relaxed. The massage left me completely relaxed and floating on cloads. Jessica was amazing and worked out every ache in my muscles. I then took a steam shower that I never wanted to leave. I would highly recommend Pilo Arts to anyone, and can't wait to go back for more.

I have to say that I am addicted to Pilo Arts. From its incredibly talented staff, to its exceptional customer service, a visit to the salon is like a mini vacation. Even if I'm just coming in for a blow out I get treated like a princess. I have recommended Pilo Arts to all of my family and friends and highly recommend it to anyone who hasn't tried it yet. I work in Manhattan and had the opportunity to visit other well known salons, but nothing ever compared to the overall experience that I always have at Pilo Arts, and the prices make it even that much better!!!! Try it, you'll see what I mean.

Came to your salon for a couple of services. Had a back wax by Yolanda which was totally painless. Went upstairs to see Riccardo for some Low Lites which brought me back twenty years. I had a haircut by Tonia. While I was in her chair she made me feel like I was the only one in the salon. The services I received were above and beyond any Manhattan salon. The prices are somewhat reasonable and parking is fair but worth the wait. I finally found a full service salon to take care of all my needs. I was made to feel like a King. My appointment was on a weekend and the salon was packed but everything ran on time . They gave me the best customer service I have ever received, especially with the crowd they service.

Last week I had the pleasure to spend some time at your salon. This was my first time there and it was one of the most delightful experiences of my life. For a salon to employee so many talented people and still be able to give you that one on one experience. You have a colorist there named Riccardo. He greeted me when I arrived and we had a consultation . He made me feel as if he knew me my whole life. He was very knowledgeable about his work. His over all appearance and personality made me feel as though I was in a Manhattan . My hi-lites were fantastic. The over all treatment at your salon was A+. From your front desk, to the assistants and right through to your color department. Riccardo catered to my every need. I would highly recommend Riccardo and Pilo Arts to anyone.

I cant begin to tell you the great experience my girlfriends and i had at Pilo Arts. We traveled from Manhattan and from the moment we entered the pampering started. We were whisked away to to our stylists with champagne in hand. I started in the Spa with a facial from Bella. It was very quiet and soothing in the spa. Then i went upstairs to the color dept. Don gave me the most beautiful and natural hilites i ever received. After a massaging shampoo that lasted about 15 minutes i moved along to Tony for a fantastic haircut. We actually all walked out happy as can be.

I LOVE PILO ..Been going here for years, THEY ARE FABULOUS. Excellent Team all the way. It is pricey, but if you can't afford it, go settle elsewhere. You hear the Manolo's of perfectly pedicured feet slapping on the Italian grounds of Diamond decked Ladies. The skill and quality of the cuts and color are immaculate. As soon as you arrive they check your coat and offer Wine, Cappuccino, Pelegrino. Enjoy!

Ivan gave me the best haircut of my life and everyone at Pilo Arts waited on me hand and foot. So, if you want to feel like a total princess, RUN to Pilo Arts.
