Salon O

Danielle is always excellent! She never cuts too much off and is very trusting. She does an amazing job!

If you’re expecting a salon on par with Manhattan in terms of talent, you’ll be gravely disappointed. Danielle was my colorist (told me she has over 25 years of experience), giving my virgin red hair golden sun kissed highlights. I showed her a picture of myself from years ago when I last had highlights, so I knew it was an attainable look. In the past, at top Manhattan salons, highlights were always mixed for me after a consultation. The colorist would say, «I’m going to mix up a warm golden blond for your highlights and because your hair is curly, we’ll make them thick so they show up inside your corkscrews and waves.» Danielle said nothing like this. After reviewing my photo, she returned with, what I later learned was, a violet lightener. The result was a very cool, not warm, white blonde – platinum! Cool white highlights in a very warm coppery ginger head of hair look like WHITE STRIPES of premature gray! It was horrendous. Once I expressed how the highlights were unbearably white and nothing resembling the photo, she agreed they were too white but said she could add some toner. She added toner WITH HER HAND, not a squirt bottle over a sink, then wiped it out after spraying water from a spray bottle. That’s it. When I returned to my car in the sunlight, I saw that I was ruined! My hair looked parched and white, like a bad South Shore Long Island 80’s frosted dye job, far from sun kissed. After expressing dissatisfaction with the owner over the phone, she said I should come in the next day, where they would fix it. I returned, and Angela said that Danielle did the wrong thing, never should have used lightener, should have made them thicker, mixed a color, etc. But all Angela did was try to correct Danielle’s mistake with toner. Once rinsed out, properly this time, I looked as if I never had any highlights! $ 140 plus $ 28 tip and no highlights, which is what I paid for! The owner didn’t stick around to see if I was happy with the end results. And Angela simply said, yeah ask for me next time and I will do them properly. But she still let me walk out without any highlights. As if she wasn’t expected to give me what I had asked for when I walked in, but was simply trying to repair Danielle’s damage. I was thoroughly disappointed.

I had Louis for my blowout today and as soon as I left I wanted to write a review for him. He was extremely careful about everything he did. He really took the time — I’ve never seen anyone tame my baby hairs so well. Awesome job.

I am home for the summer and I was in desperate need of a haircut. Being that my regular lady is all the way back in Oregon, I had to find somewhere local.
Most hair salons are not open on Sunday so that narrowed down my search a lot.
Salon O was open, nearby, and I called them do see if they had an appointment and they told me to come in a half hour.
Very easy to find and right on Jericho Turnpike.
Walked in was greeted by the receptionist and sat down.
The Salon itself is very classy and attractively decorated.
Waited no more than 10 minutes before Louis introduced himself.
Super friendly guy, listened to what I wanted, and executed it perfectly.
Wash, cut, blow dry $ 55.
It’s a little pricey but then again it’s Long Island (Syosset area to be more precise) and this is how much every place chargers unless you go to one of the chain hair cutting places.
I was very happy with my haircut!
And ask for Louis, he is a good conversationalist and not in the awkward way where they feel obligated to strike up a conversation that ultimately ends in random silence 2 minutes into your haircut.

I had my hair cut and styled by Jasmin. I am very busy and value my time. Jasmin did an amazing job in only 40min! My hair looks amazing. And you are offered a glass of wine!
Don’t miss out on this gem!

This salon is amazing. I got to Dawn and she does great. Everyone who works there is extremely sweet and welcoming. As soon as you walk in, they immediately greet you and ask if you’d like anything to drink and if they can take your coat.
They never make you wait to long and each person you go to (washer, etc) is very kind.
I’ve never gone to this Salon O and was dissatisfied by their service. Dawn, in particular, does an amazing job and I have told a lot of people to come to this salon.
Yes, it may be a little more pricier then other salons but it is worth it, you will never complain with the results, I promise you do that!

I’m going to start that I’m very particular wih hair. I’m scared to try new people for my hair and my eyebrows! That being said I had to find a new stylist because I moved and from the Unilocal reviews I decided to go with Brian. He is great, you won’t be disappointed if you try him. He listens and answers all your questions if you have any. I have long hair and curly. He cut it very nicely .took the right amount off and layered it well that when I do it curly it will be full not heavy like it was (because I didn’t cut it for a while) very nice blow out as well. He gets 5 stars.
The 4 stars are for the shampooing experience it was a bit rough. Although it was lunch time and I think she wanted to put in the order. Wasn’t a very awesome experience. I usually love he shampooing part because I feel my head feels super clean and also massaged. Didn’t feel that way when I got the up from the chair. Oh and the conditioner what ever she used smelled horrible. I’m used to gentle cleansers no harsh ones I made the switch about a year ago and that conditioner was just awful which brings me to the products:
Also a note to the salon. I asked for gluten free shampoo. It wasn’t available I didn’t truly understand if they were out or just not ordering it anymore. So I asked Brian if I could bring my own products and he said yes so my advice if you are sensitive to the harsh chemicals in the popular brands bring your own for shampooing and also for styling I think I’m gonna do that next time.
Overall, good experience. Try them if you are in need of hair work

I found this place on Unilocal and decided to try it because of the great reviews. I had my go-​to salon in Toronto but wasn’t sure if there would be a place on Long Island that could match. Salon O came pretty close. I got a cut, color, highlights from Danielle, who knew exactly what to do with my hair. I was worried because most places I’ve been seem to have trouble with Asian hair, especially with using the right color, but Danielle made my hair look amazing. She was friendly, knowledgable and worked quickly (I was pressed for time) but I never felt like she rushed. She gave me an amazing cut, styled my hair, and I literally got my first compliment in the parking lot as I was leaving. If there is anything negative at all, it would be that it’s a little pricey, but then again if you go to a cheaper place and they botch up your hair, you’d be paying the same to have it fixed someplace else (which has happened to me before). Highly recommend this place.

This review is long overdue as I’ve been going to Salon O for years!
Besides being a beautiful salon, the staff and stylists are so welcoming and make you feel at home the moment you walk in. There hasn’t been a time when I wasn’t offered a beverage (coffee, tea, water, soda, wine, etc) immediately after sitting down.
I always look forward to getting my highlights with Jill… she is the absolute sweetest, and always does a phenomenal job. While I’ve only used Jill for color, I’ve had multiple stylists (Brian, Louis, Justin) cut and blow dry my hair, and would trust anyone in the salon. All are detail oriented and make sure they know what you want before they start styling your hair.
After a horrible experience at another salon, I am waiting for my hair to grow back so I can get it corrected back at Salon O. Never again will I trust anyone else with my hair!
If you’re hesitant about making an appointment at Salon O, I’d say go for it. With a talented staff, gorgeous décor and reasonable prices… why not?

I made an appointment for my daughter on a Saturday. When I got there I regretted not making an appointment for myself Bc my hair was a hot mess. The girl at the counter immediately checked if anyone was available for highlights and a cut. She didn’t act annoyed or roll her eyes, with a smile she said «I’m glad you said something, Danielle has an opening now». This place was so busy and every employee was nicer than the next. Danielle highlighted my hair, cut and blowed it out beautifully. I feel like a new person and pretty :) My daughters wanted «cool» highlights and not too much cut off. Angela put highlights and lowlights that were just perfect! Louis took the time to ask her exactly what she wanted in a haircut– 14 year olds can be pretty particular– he listened to her and was very patient. We both look like rock stars now (for me until I wash it lol) I would recommend this salon to anyone. It is modern and clean. The staff were so so friendly. I will definitely be coming back

Had my hair colored by michelle alongi… Let me tell you she gave me what I wanted and more!!! I get so many compliments and my hair is so shiny. She truly is an artist.
The staff was so friendly and accommodating. The salon is so bright and airy, great lighting for color. Not to mention sparkling clean. Michelle get two thumbs up!!!

Had a great relaxing time getting my haircut and coloring with Danielle!
She did a great job, I didn’t have to wait at all!
I even called right before my appointment since it was freezing outside and my car wouldn’t start and they pushed it an hour later. Everyone in the salon was super nice!
The salon has tall ceiling with a chandelier. It is bright and beautiful! The offer you a beverage of choice so I had white wine… Nothing wrong with that !
They use Kerastase products to wash your hair and everyone seems very professional. It was pricey $ 205 but worth it! Also, make sure you bring cash since they don’t put tips in the card.

Stella Livoti is incredible for cutting and color! She has been doing my hair for over 10 years and always does an amazing job. From ombré to creative color she’s always on top of the new trends and executes them perfectly. She also works as a Guest Artist for a major hair company so she has worked with celebrities, at NY Fashion Week and more! She’s so talented and just an overall amazing woman! You will not be disappointed.

I made an appointment with Jill (Color) and Brian (Cut) for a Friday evening and it was my first time at Salon O.
They were both very friendly and were very helpful in learning about the style I wanted. On the Friday evening it is hard to get good service anywhere. These two were definitely top notch.
My cut and color were very simple so I can’t accurately rate the salon and difficult tasks. I will definitely come back again to keep up my hair but the prices were sort of high.

My mom and I have been following Allie wherever she goes for many years now. When she ended up at Salon O a couple of years ago, we were happy with the kind owners and cute little store in Plainview. When they moved to the massive space on Jericho Turnpike, we were ecstatic! It’s such a nice atmosphere in there. We love everyone that works there, from the colorists to the stylists to the owners to the upstairs nail salon!
I am super annoying (I have Nut & Fish allergies) but the staff always remembers and is extra careful about the products they use in my hair (shampoo with shellfish oils and conditioners with almonds are extremely common!). I feel like I don’t even have to remind them, because when I do, they always tell me they’ve taken care of that already! (I love that!)
Allie is fantastic– she is super friendly and treats you more like a friend than a customer (which is why we have been following her around!). My hair is always perfect and not only do I love it, but I am constantly getting compliments and questions about it and where I get it done. (It looks extremely natural!)
When Allie moved to Salon O, I lost my stylist so she recommended Brian to me and I have been in love with him ever since! Again, I feel like I’m going to see my friend instead of get my hair done when I go to Brian. He is very thoughtful and precise, and he always cuts my hair perfectly. We have such a blast and I look forward to my haircuts just to see what he is up to.
I have since moved off of Long Island but I make it my business to still get my hair done here. I can’t imagine having the same experience anywhere else, or finding other people who care as much as I do about my hair as Allie and Brian do.

I found this salon through Unilocal (so thanks). I walked in before a wedding and needed a haircut and a style/​blowout. They connected me with Brian and he was great! I got a wonderful haircut and style for the wedding! He had a lot of helpful tips for me about my hair type. I would like to return and get some highlights soon. (I just don’t live close) Btw the salon is very pretty and they give you wine… Nothing wrong with that!!!

I can’t say enough about this Beautiful, Professional and Caring Salon! It’s a pleasure to come here for any of their services. A very special shout out to my girl Michelle Alongi who is the BEST Hair Colorist! I’d follow her anywhere!

Had a great experience at this beautiful and very chic salon!
First time and got my color done by Angela & cut by Yasmin!
These ladies are very talented and I highly recommend them!
Angela did a full head of highlights. She did an amazing job. I was very happy with my new look! Yasmin did a cut and style. Love love love my hair! So happy with her.
Both these ladies made me feel beautiful!
Definitely will recommend them both to all my friends !

WOW! I just got home and had to write this review, I can’t stop looking at myself in the mirror!!!
I can’t even begin to express how amazing my experience here was. I haven’t gotten my hair cut in over a year and haven’t gotten it colored in about twice as long. The staff was amazing. I had ombré color put into my hair and it looks absolutely FANTASTIC! I can’t say enough how pleased I was with the level of care and service at this salon. Everyone was incredibly pleasant and professional.
You can really tell that the stylists and colorists here care about their craft and are passionate about the work that they do. I had an excellent consultation and got exactly what I wanted. I will definitely be coming back and would highly recommend Salon O!!!

I went here to get my makeup done/​bridal trial by Krystle who is not only amazing but gorgeous plus she has same name as me spelled differently so that’s bonus points right there lol! also got my hair done to complete the look by I think Valentina (I’m horrible with names) it came out amazing. the salon is so nice inside very glamorous. plus tons of parking in the back. I can’t park to save my life so a nice big lot is always good to me.
I’m very happy with the makeup because most salons I’ve been to in the past never had a good makeup artist I mean I’d go home and be like I could do it better. it’s great to know that if I ever want my makeup done in the future be it for my wedding or anything else can easily come here and it’s reasonably priced! and there are many times me and my girls want to get glammed up for a night out now we finally know a place.
