Ugh! This is so unfortunate. I went on a Groupon to get a full highlight. I usually get a honey blonde which is what i told my stylist. I believe her name was meghan. She did my highlight and I had to pay an extra $45 for the glaze which i wouldn’t mind had it been the right color. When she glazed my hair after the highlights she glazed it in a gray color which is the complete opposite of what i like. And, for some reason my hair is not as light as it usually is. I’m extremely disappointed. the first picture is the hair i went in with! Which is what i asked for. The second is what i left with very upset.

I wish that hairdressers would admit when they don't understand the instructions. After giving both verbal instructions and a photograph (literally of me, having the haircut I wanted to get again), I somehow left with an unsymmetrical cut somewhere between a mullet and a bob. I cannot even describe how embarrassing this haircut is, I have never experienced anything like it in my life. I wish I could blame the person for being distracted, but it seems that she lacks the ability to follow instructions, or care what a person looks like when they leave her chair.The person who washed my hair was nice though.Service: Hairstyling

2 bad hair cuts and a bad color and Debbie who I've known for years tells me I;m crazy. That's the way they talk to long term clients. Ignorant.

My son wanted to spend some time with dad today at the office so I had an hour to kill. I decided to go to this salon to get a blow out since I was going on a date night with my husband later on. I have platinum blonde hair on top and dark brown hair on the bottom (like Dua Lipa's old hair style). I paid a lot of money to get my hair like that before hand from my stylist. I asked for a purple shampoo/conditioner toner just to freshen up my color along with my blowout. Well I had no idea what was being put on my hair until I got to the chair and my hair looked brown. I was so upset. The woman said no no it's because your hair is wet. I was super upset because my hair was now medium ash blonde on the top. I couldn't believe going to a salon to pamper myself with a blow out could have had these results. I was so upset I called my colorist. She let me come right away and she used a clarifying shampoo and washed my hair like ten times in between putting me under the heat to try to get this (glaze?) out of my hair. It's still not out and she said it will take a while if me washing it every day. So upsetting. I never asked for a glaze. I never asked for my hair to be a different shade or color. This woman put a level 9 glaze on my level 10 platinum blonde hair and after that did a purple toner. My hair looked gray and purple. It was horrifying. I gave two stars instead of one because everyone else at this place was wonderful. The people at the front were super kind and took me as a walk in. They were lovely. The situation was so awkward because I felt really upset but the woman who did my hair was very defensive even putting down my original color as "orange" which it wasn't. Lesson learned. If I need a blow out and purple shampoo/conditioner - don't go just anywhere where people don't know me or my hair. The woman thought she was doing me a favor but she ruined my two week old foil hi-lift highlight. So upset! **Edit** After going to my colorist a second time - we believe she actually put hair dye in my hair - NOT glaze (I only asked for purple shampoo and conditioner). My roots lightened- and my colorist said the only way that would have happened is if she actually put hair dye in my hair. I am so incredibly upset. My hair is so dry from trying to get the color out that I'm going to have to get it cut.

I had a great experience at Cactus Salon in Islip. Lenora was my colorist and stylist and she did a fantastic job. She took so much time with me to get my colors right and my hair looks beautiful. Highly recommend!

Helena is notttt who you want to see if you are expecting the results you ask for. I wanted to fix up my uneven cut and keep the length and I left with 4 inches being cut off. Absolutely the worst haircut I’ve had. My hair looked better before I sat in the chair. Unacceptable.

I had a great experience with David yesterday (5/26/21) afternoon at the East Islip, NY salon. He is very friendly and welcoming. I will be returning to him for highlights and all my hair needs going forward. I am happy to have found an amazing hair stylist.

Great customer service from Carly who scheduled me last minute and a great hair cut and blow out from Helena, who has many years of experience and it shows! She was very friendly and attentive. Got a good deal through Groupon; probably the best deal you can get especially for getting a blow out for thick curly hair. Will be back again.

Had my hair styled for a wedding I was in.. I couldn't be more disappointed in how my hair looked when I was a bridesmaid. I have curly/wavy hair so I came with most of the texture flattened out as requested.. when I looked close in the mirror after my hair was styled the stylist didn't even run the iron over my roots. She left me with frizzy loose curls and my natural texture at the root when I asked for sleek curls. It looked nothing close to the photos I had shown her. What totally sucked is that the bride still needed to be styled and we had to take photos so there was no time to re do my hair. I could've and *have* curled my hair way better using a basic flat iron. The bride's hair of course came out beautifully... Maybe the girls were rushing to get us all done but if you're given the number you're styling for don't only send 2 people if it's not enough... Especially for a wedding party!

I bought a groupon for a balayage back in march of 2018. I went in, showed her the picture of a very light blonde balayage and she said okay. She put BROWN dye on my hair, left it on for around 20 minutes, she then said I needed a toner and a glaze. I'm pretty sure the toner and glaze was never done on my hair. I've gotten my hair bleached and toned enough times to know how long the entire process should have taken. Then I asked for a hair trim as well. She cut me a weird side bang that i didn't ask for and that is still growing out over a year later. I ended up cutting all my hair to shoulder length because of how much it bothered me. After I paid around $100 for the groupon, she then said it was $110 EXTRA dollars for everything that she did. not only that, I was in and out within around an hour for a service that usually takes around two hours when done correctly. I was embarrassed to wear my hair down from the cut and the color of my hair looked exactly the same from when I stepped foot in the salon. This place is a scam.

Took my 7yr old daughter here to get a wash cut and blow dry. They were very friendly . Cute salon . They also gave me a deal from groupon which was awesome. While my daughter was getting her hair done i had my eyebrows done by the women there that only works on brows she does not cut or do hair. She did a very nice job i really liked how they came out. Also they gave my daughter a very nice hair cut as well. We walked out satisfied.
