Salon Neo

Not even a week ago I went to my mom’s hair stylist for a cut and some highlights. However, the highlights were too blonde and I hated them. So a friend recommended I go to this place and go to Linda. I went to see if they can fix my hair and Linda suggested I do a caramel glaze (which is $ 45, not bad) to help tone down my highlights and on a whim, I decided to do the glaze that same day. I am IN LOVE with my hair now and I no longer want to cry every time I look in the mirror! Also the place is so cute and they really try to make you feel comfortable. Once I need another trip to the salon I won’t hesitate to come back!

An adorable little neighborhood salon! Everyone in the salon is so sweet and down to earth. My daughters and I have been going to Linda for years and absolutely love her and her work. She knows the latest trends and is AMAZING with color. She is sweet, funny, and never disappoints! I would not trust anyone else or go anywhere else! Christina is also great with makeup! (She did my youngest daughters makeup for two senior proms she attended and she loved it!) The salon is modern and extremely clean. I highly recommend Linda!

I do not get my hair cut often as i really love my long hair. I came to Salon Neo a few months ago for a trim with Linda and she did exactly what i wanted. Today i went in for a serious hair cut. My hair was down to my lower back and i wanted to cut it short (down to my chin)… I was nervous but Linda did an amazing job. I could not be happier! I won’t be trusting anyone but Linda with my hair ever again.

HI have been coming her for over 6 months to see christina G. Christina is a double threat, she does great coloring and amazing makeup. I get nothing but compliments for my natural looking color. She is friendly, sweet, punctual and just a great find. I recommend her to anyone. Even though I am moving I will make to trip to continue to see her!

I am not a loyal client of a particular hairstylist. I’ve been to Neo about 2 times. The first experience I had was okay but CRAZY expensive. The second was underwhelming. The first time I went in for a glaze, the second visit was an attempt to correct the glaze.
Pros: very clean, cute décor and personable stylists.
Cons: holy pocket book! $$$ average decent jobs nothing extraordinary.
My first visit consisted of a trim and a glaze. The glaze is priced at $ 45, which is pretty normal, no red flags for me… yet. I had my hair glazed and the color came out solid, the glaze was followed by a trim (1 inch) and a blow dry. No biggie. Having done this at other salons I knew I’d be in the $ ⁸⁰⁄₈₅ ball park.
Holy moley! I wish it was $ 85. Sadly, i had to scoop my jaw off of the floor when I was told my total was $ 130. Wtf? How much was the trim and blow dry?!
Second visit (silly me): I wanted to correct the glaze and lighten my color. I’m not talking about blonde or anything, I’m talking goin from a dark brown to a medium brown. Not a problem it will just be a base price of $ 230 because I need my color stripped… whaaaaat?! I swallowed the bile rising and simply whimpered a simple «never mind, just a trim.» The appointment proceeded to my being harassed to book my next appointment for a 10% discount (lucky me!). The poor stylist proceeded to say «any little but helps.» Wtf?! After declining, I was bombarded with reminders about this magical 10% discount for the next hour to which I politely responded a combo of «no thanks, not now, need to think about it, etc»… My trim this second time hurt my soul and cost me $ 55. Again, whaaaaat?! My hair looked, smelled and felt EXACTLY the same as my Dominican hair stylist in Washington heights who charges me $ 30 for a trim an blow dry.
PEOPLE of Unilocal,did I mention this is in STATEN ISLAND?! Not 5^th ave in the city, not Newbury street in Boston (both of which I’ve experienced for $ 100-​$ 125)… Staten freakin’ Island.
In summary, nice décor and nice people but NOT WORTH the price tag.

I love this salon! This is the only hair salon I go to for a dye job & haircut. Andrea is the best colorist & she’s super nice — I highly recommend her. All the girls are very nice & it’s a very nice, clean salon.

I came to this salon when it first opened following the hair stylist Andrea. I really like that the owner is young and hip– décor, stylists and atmosphere match that. Andrea is an amazing colorist and Christina does great make up. They always have promotions via email and blow out specials during the week. They do fundraising and toy drives which is nice to see.
