2.YOU MUST WEAR A MASK NO EXCEPTIONS be aware that the mask MUST go behind your ears not a bandana. If you do not have a mask or prefer to not wear for cut or color we can provide you with a disposable mask for $2.

Some clients will need to have their hair dried for color or if the stylist deems it essential to use a blowdryer. Please understand this is a necessary safety precaution.

Solidarity

We stand in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement. Tomahawk is owned and operated by a mixed indigenous woman who has spoken out and stands with marginalized black indigenous people of color (BIPoC) community. Tomahawk has always represented and been a symbol of both kinship and defiance. Owner Chantal asks you stand with us and for the Bushwick community in saying BLACK LIVES MATTER and we must end police brutality. We are standing with State Senator Julia Salazar and Assemblywoman Maritza Davila in REPEALING 50-A and passing the Safer NY Act. As New Yorkers this is something we can do now DEMAND the NYPD to take accountability of gross misconduct and the over policing of our communities targeting brown and black folks. Primary Elections are on June 23rd. If you are a New Yorker and unable to make it to the polls please make sure to send in your Absentee Ballot. For more info on the Primaries and how to vote click this link Vote.NYC. It is time we have JUSTICE for the victims and communities devastated by police brutality.

Hello March

Purple and pink hair

bob cut purple and pink hair

Ahhhh Spring is upon us and we are feeling it just like this amazing cut and color by Kristin Jackson. A perfect bob haircut and creative color that slays for days. This color was achieved through a double process. Hair was lightened and followed by custom mixed multi colors by Kristin using Pulp Riot<3

blonde balayage

A beautiful natural balayage (hand painted highlights) by Kristin Jackson using Redken color. This multi-tonal method allows for a more natural way to brighten hair and give dimension. Balayage is great for those that want less upkeep than a double process since the root is untouched. Balayage tends to have more warmth and lifts about 5 levels. If you want a very light cool blonde it may take several visits to the salon to achieve.

Shag cut

Our boss lady Chantal got shagged by Donna Rae. Shag haircuts are great for both straight and curly hair. Thinks icons like Cher, David Bowie, Joan Jett, Rod Stewart and Stevie Nicks! This is a great cut for everyone to rock!

wash hands

Hey everyone we just want to take a moment and say for all of our health make sure when you come in PLEASE WASH YOUR HANDS! We are taking our best measures to keep healthy and safe. If you don’t feel well please stay home. We do 24 hours confirmations just let us know at that time if your feeling under the weather. It’s better to be safe and take preventive measures. We love our community let’s all play a part in protecting one another.
