Touch of Brazil — Local services in New York

it’s a rare delight to encounter a stylist who not only delivers exceptional technical results, but also elevates the entire experience into something memorable. That’s exactly what happened during my recent visit to Touch of Brazil Hair Salon, where Ilma worked her magic in a way that genuinely exceeded all expectations.

From the moment I sat in her chair, it was clear that Ilma brings more than just skill, she brings intention. Her attention to detail was unwavering throughout each phase of the service: a base color correction, carefully placed highlights, a precision cut, and a voluminous blow dry that felt runway ready.

What sets Ilma apart is her intuitive ability to read both hair and client.  She consulted, explained, adjusted, and executed with a level of care and professionalism that’s all too rare. Every foil, every snip, every brush stroke was done with finesse and purpose. The base color correction alone could have been a complicated affair, but Ilma approached it with confidence and artistry, restoring depth and richness without a trace of brassiness.

Her highlight placement was equally masterful, dimensional, soft, and utterly seamless. No stripey patterns or harsh contrasts. The cut: clean, face-flattering lines with movement and bounce, followed by a blow dry: perfection.

Throughout the entire process, Ilma's attentiveness never faltered. Ilma is both expert and artist.

In short, Touch of Brazil wasn't just a hair appointment. It was a transformation.

KERATIN treatment

no shine, no smoothness, no change after keratin, only 2 days i had really nice hair but after shower it came out same as before Ilma charge me way more then other salons she is pricey and useless. never going back i was really looking forward to this but disappointed as hell

she has really good reviews about keratin and only because of that i went to her, i guess those reviews are from her friends or something

i don't know about other services but i guess don't go for keratin if you don't want to waste your money and time well i'm never going back 👎

i'm really...

My hair was so dry, frizzy, and always getting tangled like a bird’s nest. I had multiple 20 minute detangling sessions on a daily basis. The Brazilian keratin treatment made my hair silky, smooth, soft, and hydrated. It looks so healthy after the treatment. My hair doesn’t get tangled like before. I don’t have to add products (like heat protectant) and blow dry after taking a shower anymore. My hair stays straight after air drying; I am loving this low-maintenance life!! Highly recommend this. It’s worth...
