History

Established in 2004.

Passion, community, and determination are just a few words that can be used to describe Maria Barca. A native New Yorker, Maria was already putting herself through beauty school by the age of seventeen. She found inspiration in the city’s style and culture that surrounded her but she was by far captivated by Brooklyn. Maria quickly set her sights on owning her own salon in Brooklyn and in February of 2004, she opened Self Salon in its original location on Grand Street, in Williamsburg; she was only twenty-​three.

Nearly ten years later and Self Salon has become one of the most sought-​after hair salons in Williamsburg and Bushwick. The versatility that Maria and her team at Self Salon offer is unparalleled. Maria finds importance in creating a diverse culture, which also includes diverse talent. She has, therefore, assembled a very talented and accomplished group of individuals all with a wide-​range of knowledge on the beauty industry. Maria’s specialty lies in dry-​cutting, curly hair

Meet the Manager

Alana M.

Manager

Alana came to Self after previously managing a boutique salon in Westchester. Her degree in Fashion Merchandising Management from FIT, and Social Work studies at Hunter College accurately reflect her hybrid character. She celebrates diversity, human relationships, community, and beauty from the inside out.

Salon management has given Alana the ability to combine her gift for communication & colorful personality, with her love of fashion and beauty. A prominent sense of community & neighborhood ties between the salon, clients, and small businesses are a part of her management role she values most. At Self, both in Williamsburg and Bushwick, she creates an environment where all clients feel at home, stylists are inspired, music is jamming, and services provided are nothing short of fabulous.
