About Sew Brooklyn

Sew Brooklyn is a hair extension lounge located at 567 Nostrand Avenue in Brooklyn, founded and led by owner, creator, and master stylist Shawanda C. The salon specializes in sew-in installs, weaves, and hair extensions, offering services grouped under playful in-house categories like Sew Do's, Sew Fresh, Sew Clean, Sew Extensions, Sew Colorful, and Sew Hair Care. Clients can purchase hair extensions directly at the salon, in a wide variety of textures and lengths, and up to three bundles can be installed at no additional cost, with extra bundles available for a small added fee. The salon also makes and ships custom wigs, offers express and standard extension coloring, and provides hair care services alongside styling. Beyond installs, Sew Brooklyn positions itself as a full salon experience rather than just a place to "get your sew in done," with a chic, modern space, a relaxed vibe, and amenities like complimentary beverages (including mimosas) while clients wait. The team trains its stylists in the latest techniques and runs free in-house classes, and stylists are encouraged to build individual brands within the Sew Brooklyn umbrella. The salon accepts most forms of payment except American Express, and also offers Sezzle for book-now-pay-later financing. Appointments can be booked online, and deposits are required to confirm a booking. Sew Brooklyn describes its goal as redefining what a Brooklyn salon looks and feels like, aiming to combine luxury, high-quality workmanship, and affordability so that Brooklyn residents do not have to travel into Manhattan for quality hair services.

When Sew Brooklyn's owner, Shawanda C, decided to open her own salon, she found the local market lacking in high-quality, affordable service that still put customer care first. She set out to build something different: a hair extension lounge that felt less like a typical neighborhood "shop" and more like a place clients could relax and enjoy an experience, not just get a sew-in done. Sew Brooklyn describes itself as one of the pioneers in redefining the Brooklyn salon, and notes that many other salons have since followed suit in offering quality service without requiring a trip into Manhattan. The salon's philosophy centers on valuing clients' time, training stylists in the latest techniques through free in-house classes, and fostering a home base where individual stylists can grow their own brands under the Sew Brooklyn name. The business describes its identity as distinctly Brooklyn: the excitement of walking in, the authenticity, and the feeling of a friendly, loyal neighbor. Today Sew Brooklyn continues to operate from its Nostrand Avenue location, serving the neighborhood with sew-in installs, extensions, wigs, and hair care.
