Editorial Review for Lilypad – by Angela Gaimari
In Short
You needn't be a maven to get gorgeous at this Williamsburg stylist's digs--it's perfect for the low-maintenance hipster. Lily runs the tiny one-woman salon, which shares an entrance with a funky indie-designer's shop, and provides cuts and color based on the individual's needs. Ranging from stark asymmetrical cuts to buttery blondes, there's nothing this versatile stylist can't do. In addition to coifs, she does all things eyebrow-related, from bleaching to shaping.

This is my 3rd visit back to the pad. for my style( besides running in every few weeks for bangs trimmed). I just love it there.I like the cool relaxed-unsalon like vibe, very low-key and just what getting your hair DID should be about! (I love the music mix there too)lol! I love my style, I love the way she works with hair, and asked me at first how much maintenance do I put in on the day to day?(I preffer none!) yeah , a little more effort for going out. and she explained to me that 9 time out of ten people want something that their hair isn't. Has been this past year and a half since I've discovered the pad. So she cut my hair in a way where I would only need to straighten out my bangs, really, and the rest of my hair dries naturally, This last cut lasted 5 months! and my highlites are so vibrant now, other stylist used just bleach on my hair and my hair would just get blonder and dryer, but she does something differnt every time, lily says its because my hair is different everytime (I guess, after all every 4-5 months?) that the growth will be different, she gives me choices, uses 2 or 3 colors at a time, and I always feel like a sar when I walk out of there. My favorite part is getting there a little early and watching what she does with other people, and they look so hot and I sit there thinking- that will be me in a couple of hours! And the price is so reasonable, I can afford to go every 2 months, but really do not need to, she is truly an artist and cuts and colors so you won't have to. In a nutshell- great funky high end style in an unpretentiuos enviroment and that you can afford to maintain.
Pros: easy to get to, unpretentious
Cons: no credit cards

After i read the reviews on city search i decided to go and try it cause i been looking for a hair cut and i just moved to NYC, the hair cut was affordable but the salon looks kind of unorganized the stylist wasn't much of a listener i told her to cut my hair a certain way and she cut way too much and i even showed her a pictures.
Pros: affordable,
Cons: NO credit cards,
