Tru Salon

Lauren for cut and Lauren for color– amazing and super friendly staff especially for someone like me who gets easily intimidated by these professionals. Not here– they always are so helpful and kind. I love this place and so do my daughter. And by the way, the pricing is extremely reasonable. Very professional salon!

I had the most disappointing experience at this salon and I didn’t even get a haircut.
I had sent Tru a message several days ago asking if they gave discounts for people wishing to donate their hair, which I was. After they said they did I was ecstatic and ask them to book me an appointment. I was told to come in at 7pm on Thursday (today).
I went there tonight with my mom and was greeted by an almost empty salon. The receptionist asked if I was there for a 7pm appt, which I was. She then informed me it was booked for the wrong time and I was scheduled for 4pm. I showed her the email with my scheduled appt time and reason for my appointment listed twice in the email. She said there was nothing she could do, did I want to come back another time?
I came to this salon with hopes of donating 9 inches of hair to people who had lost their own. Instead of asking if they could accommodate me, they turned me away without so much as an apology. Needless to say, I will NOT be back nor would I recommend them to anyone

I absolutely love Lauren! This place is well worth the money. Also Chris is great too.

Best haircut ever. New loyal follower. Not your typical Long Island salon.
Let me start off by saying that I have been a loyal customer of Bumble and Bumble in NYC since 1997. I have been running at lunch time for years or after work to get my haircut and then trekking home to Long Island. I have recently been disappointed with the service and started researching salons close to home.
I discovered Tru online and read the bio of the owner Brian and was convinced I should give it a try. I made an appointment for color and cut and am now a loyal client!!!
I have gotten so many compliments on my hair. The staff are friendly and not pretentious. They are professional and educated on how to cut and color hair and I promise you will be happy this is not your typical Long Island salon.

Three words: Helpful, patient, understanding.
I have a hard time with trust and not being in control especially when it comes to my style and hair which was pretty evident from the minute I walked in, I’m sure. For my consultation I must have been there for at least two hours or more because what I want and what my hair can tolerate are two completely different things so it took a while getting to a middle ground on what to do with it. They even did a test strip to see what it can handle. I booked an appointment for the following week.
On my appointment I was kind of upset because I had to cut my hair and for me who’s had hair down to my butt since I was a kid, this is a very difficult thing to even think about let alone actually do. There was some confusion here and there with style, color, etc but I am happy to say even though I’m still trying to get use to the new «length», the overall result exceeded my expectations.
They clearly have a passion for and take pride in what they do and I think that is awesome.
The only problem I had and I hate to even mention it because I really love this place is the prices. They’re around the same rates as any other high rated salon but instead of one person doing cut, color and style it’s two or three people depending what you have done. Total including tips for each person kind of killed me at the end.
That being said, I’m satisfied and will go back. Already made my next appt. :)

I was really happy with how Casey cut my hair. She was extremely thorough, there wasn’t any chatty fake bs with her, and she cut my hair exactly the way I wanted it cut. I will definitely be going back to Tru but there were a couple of negatives to my experience. My first appointment was scheduled with Chris on a Wednesday at 8:15 pm (and I was thrilled they were able to fit me in the same day!) but when I got there I was told he was 30 – 45 minutes behind and that I could stay or reschedule. I got the feeling they wanted me to reschedule. The extremely friendly receptionist was great about the whole thing — apologetic, offered me a discount, and another appointment the same week — but I still wish they would have called so I didn’t have to make the ½ hour drive. After my haircut on Saturday she told me they would knock the price down from 45 to 40. I was a bit confused about this… I thought there was a discount for your first time there as well as a discount for them rescheduling my appointment, but honestly, I didn’t question it because Casey did a great job and I had already decided I’d be coming back. They gave me a little welcome gift of a travel size shampoo and conditioner… except when I got home there was only the shampoo in the bag.
So to sum it all up, great atmosphere, the staff knows what they’re doing, friendly receptionist… but don’t expect them to be super organized or keep to their word. Give them a try though because I think they do a better job than a lot of salons in the area. My best friend goes here too and she loves her experience every time. I’m looking forward to going back and having some proof that the negatives of my experience were only a 1 time thing. :)

Professional, trendy, avant garde and super clean — Tru is a gem ! Brian is the best.

Best salon in the area. Brian rocks. Products are terrific. Trendy haircuts !

I absolutely fell in love with this salon. Chris was my stylist and he did an amazing job. Everybody was so nice and welcoming and i even got a little gift for my first time. 100% satisfied! Don’t hesitate to make your appointment

I was recently recommended to Tru Salon by my wonderful friend. She always looks terrific! After quite a while in between haircuts I booked an appointment with Brian. I could not have asked for a more professional, sweet, down to earth, expert in his field, if I tried. Brian took the time to access my hair thoroughly discuss his thoughts and mine before just jumping in and cutting.
He took his time, explained what he was doing along the way, and gave me his complete attention. The end result was nothing short of perfection and I am thrilled with my new style. His product line was quite impressive as well and the shampoo smells delicious leaving my hair well hydrated.
After the cut I figured a new color was in order as well and booked the following day with Carli. How lucky can a girl get — two home-​runs in as many days! She knew exactly what would look great and the final result is outstanding. I feel like a new person. I am thrilled with my new color. Carli is just amazingly talented with color I know I will be happy for a long time to come. Absolutely loved talking with her.
The vibe of this salon is so comfortable and much thought was put into its layout. It feels like home… Nice people with awesome talent. I can’t say Thank You enough!

I was looking for a new place to get my hair cut, closer to where I live. It is always hard to find a new stylist, especially when you have been happy with your current stylist for years and you don’t know exactly who to trust your hair to. I was having flash backs to bad Supercuts hair misshaps from childhood and almost considered just not getting my hair cut anymore! After seeing so many good reviews for Tru Salon on Unilocal and some good photos on Facebook, I decided to give it a try.
They were very nice on the phone when I called to make an appointment. They were able to fit me in the next day, which was a nice bonus as sometimes it can be hard to get an appointment when needed. I arrived for my appointment and was greeted by a nice receptionist who told me I could have a seat and my stylist would be right with me. They booked me with Chris, who is AWESOME. He greeted me and gave me a breif consultation to determine the condition of my hair, what I wanted to do with my hair and what level of maintenance I am comfortable with. I am in the process of growing out a very stylized 1920’s inverted bob with bangs, so my hair is in a bit of an awkward phase where it isn’t quite long, but it has overgrown its previous style. Chris assured me that he could trim my ends preserving as much length as possible while giving it a bit of a better shape, so I had more options and better body with my hair. My hair was washed, and then Chris worked his magic. I am never super talkative in the chair, but he was incredibly nice and is almost uncomfortably handsome, which is an added bonus, lol. The finished result of my haircut was EXACTLY what I was looking for. My hair looks great, and it has been easy to style on my own since. Chris spoke with me about maintenance and when I should come back to further work on getting my hair in shape. I HIGHLY recommend him and booked my follow up appointment before leaving.
The salon itself is great, everyone there was nice and very professional. I was made very comfortable, offered something to drink, they even had snacks. Their own brand salon products smelled nice, and they gave me a very generous sample of their conditioner to take home and try. My haircut was $ 15 cheaper than with my previous stylist and I can honestly say that I felt just as comfortable with Chris. Everyone getting their hair done left looking great, they obviously care about their customers. I will definitely be back, and recommend anyone give Tru (and Chris) a try.

From a man’s point of view, its very clean and the staff is really friendly, beyond that, what more could I ask for? Oh, a good haircut, right… well they do that too.
I paid $ 35 for a haircut, which is a little higher than average for a man’s haircut, but TRU is a little more upscale so I guess it was to be expected.
Worth a shot if you’re looking for a change and don’t mind spending a little more than you would at a Cactus, or a lot more than you do at a Barber.

The Tru salon experience can be yours too! This unpretentious, chic, inviting atmosphere showcases the talented team of stylists. Soho without the attitude. Love this place! Go get the Tru experience!

The staff at TRU do an excellent job. I actually drive from Hampton Bays to Saint James to get my hair done here. The staff are really laid back but do an excellent job.
I see Danielle for my color. She does a fantastic job getting me to the exact blonde shade that I adore. Plus she’s fun to talk to and makes the time fly by. The coloring area is fun because the clients sit at one big table and can talk to each other while getting their services done or tune out to watch TV or read a magazine. Angelica does my hair cuts and she rocks it every time. The décor is modern, clean, and trendy. Just love it!
The salon also gives you a small incentive for pre booking and keeping the same appointments. They also have their own product line, which I haven’t tried yet. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me. I know (girl-​to-​girl) it’s always hard finding a new stylist and colorist.

Everyone here seems to know modern hair styles and cuts. I always go to Gloria and get exactly what I want. Everyone seems to walk out happy and relaxed.
