Here’s just one of their many five-star reviews:

“I’ve been getting my hair done with Jamie since 2014. Back in November, I had magenta added to my hair, and the color has maintained amazingly. I went back for a touch-up in March and then another touch up in July. I also got a Brazilian blowout done back in November for the first time, and then I decided to do it again in July. I have to say that I’m never disappointed with my hair. …I [even] allowed my seven-year-old to add purple and blue highlights to her hair. I trust Jamie with my hair and my daughter’s hair to the fullest extent. She is an amazing stylist, and I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking someone who will make their hair look incredible.” – Felicia B.

Not Your Average Beauty Salon

We wanted to learn more about this two-time award winner and how they managed to build such an impressive online reputation, so we took a few minutes to talk with Jamie Knoer, the owner of Brilliance Salon & Spa.

The first thing we wanted to know was what makes Brilliance Salon & Spa a one-of-a-kind beauty salon in New York. Jamie pointed to her experience and the fact that she does a lot of blonde styles, which is really trendy right now and helps them to be competitive. They pride themselves on staying ahead of the trends, and they are one of the few salons in the area that offers custom color and Brazilian blowouts.

Jamie went on to add:

“I am the owner and hairstylist. Shannon is our manager, microblade and nail tech. Taylor is another hairstylist and also specializes in lashes and waxing. And Roselyn is our service coordinator. We all work hard as a team to satisfy our customers.”

We also asked Jamie what their mission is at Brilliance Salon & Spa and how they work to make the world a better place. Here’s her response:

“Our goal is to keep clients happy with our services and to help everyone achieve the color that they want.”

Building Success Through Great Service and Experience

Jamie attributes Brilliance Salon & Spa’s strong online reputation to their commitment to providing great service to their clients. Jamie told us that they don’t ask for reviews but that the fact that they’ve been in business for 15 years is helpful.

Outside of building a powerful online reputation, Brilliance Salon & Spa has gotten their name out there by consistently posting on social media, appearing on other businesses’ websites and through lots of word of mouth.

Every business owner wants to build the kind of online reputation Brilliance Salon & Spa has. When we asked Jamie what advice she has for those business owners, she said:

“You have to have a high-quality team. I have owned this business for five years. You need to build yourself up before building others up.”


Congratulations to the team at Brilliance Salon & Spa for being a 2019 Top Rated Local award winner, and thank you so much, Jamie, for taking the time to speak with us!
