Minnie is by far the best choice for an hair stylist and colorist in NY (I have seen she is also a great make up artist btw). Let me tell you briefly why: 1. Reservations can be made via text, and she is super accommodating regarding times/days. 2. She doesn't push you to do extra things, or different treatments from what you want. She goes straight to the point of what you need. She understands, gets down to work and gives the results you want. Actually not. She exceeds my expectations every time I go. 3. Keeping a beautiful blonde mane of hair is not easy. Colour fades, gets brassy, highlights fluorescent yellow etc. I have never been happier with the blonde she created for my complexion and hair. It looks natural, healthy, a champagne blonde colour everyone wants to know where I got! 4. in addition to top notch quality and kindness, she is also affordable! Prices are very good, especially in a très chic location in the Upper East Side. 5. As if all this were not enough, at the end of the session she also took the time to take some pictures of my hair and sent them to me. And let me tell you she has a great talent as a photographer as well! I found her with a Groupon time ago and I have no intention of letting her go! read more

Really do not recommend. First, I had an appointment with Dona but after I made the trip to Staten Island I was told she had an emergency (I understand emergencies happen but if I had been told about this hours earlier I could have planned accordingly), but since I made the trip I decided to go ahead with letting Mini do my hair. Second, even though it was just me and a couple other clients, I spent 4 hours at the salon that day because it was just Mini and one assistant and a majority of the time was me waiting around and I ended up not having time for a hair cut or blow out (left the salon with wet hair because I really had to leave for another appointment). I came to the salon with inspiration pictures and very clear instructions on not wanting my hair to be lighter and wanting a "big transformation" and unfortunately did not receive what I wanted in any way. Mini temporarily colored my hair to be 2 shades darker and bleached highlights and now a week later the bleached highlights are fully showing through and it looks like I'm back to being blonde. I am very disappointed in the service and reached out for a partial refund (given I did not receive what I asked for but couldn't tell at the time considering my hair was still wet when I left) and was told no and offered an opportunity to come back but first it is not easy for me to commute to Staten island and second I am not going to give them a chance to mess up more. I am going to have to spend the money to go to another salon to fix. Definitely do not recommend and think there are much more experienced salons in the NJ area. read more

I've gone to many well known salons in Staten Island and Dona is the best! I get the best blow out that lasts me a few days and she always listens to the clients needs. Thank you!! read more

If I could give zero stars I would but unfortunately I have to put one star reason why how the hell do you run a business when you send your employees on vacation and don't have staff to take appointments and then cancel them last minute because you don't have staff does not make sense but when you say are you got a leave a bad review then they try to come and see you as soon as possible now I got your attention but GuessWhat too late goodbye will take my business somewhere else guys for your benefit stay out of there!!! Don't waste your Time!!! I just wanted to add this, let me clear I had made an appointment online I had an appointment scheduled the text message that you see on the pictures is her texting me telling me that she needs to change my SCHEDULE appointment so how am I in the wrong is this? So what is the point of making appointments if it's going to be cancelled again how do you run your business like that? read more

The best salon to go to on Staten Island. The salon has a great environment and Donna and Minnie go above and beyond for clients and their hair. I have been coming here for 2 years and look forward to every appointment! read more

I came in from out of town and needed a spot to get my hair done. I seen this place on yelp and called to make an appointment. I showed up a little earlier than scheduled but Minnie was able to start styling my hair right away. Throughout the time she was styling my hair she kept good conversation going. She also checked in with me often about how I liked my hair and adjusted to my pickiness. I was completely satisfied with her time management, conversation, professionalism and hospitality. She made me feel like I've known her forever! I highly recommend this place! read more

From my first conversation with Minnie on the phone, she was super sweet and very professional. I found a Groupon deal and spoke to her about what I would like to be done (it was for highlights, haircut plus blowout). Im very picky about selecting someone to do my hair and she was very patient and understanding. In addition, she let me know that there would be an additional fee because my hair is black (wanted highlights) which I expected. Appointments were easy to schedule too. Once at my appointment, I showed her a picture of what I would like and she didn't disappoint. She provided recommendations which I liked. I absolutely love the color and the hair style!! She did an amazing job and I will definitely come back!! I would highly recommend her!! read more

First time at this hair salon on 8/1/21 and I have nothing but good things to say. I believe it was Donna who was working. She was very nice and interactive with the hair cut process and making sure I got what I wanted. She took into account my hair type and what would look best. Will come back again! read more

Donna is the absolute best! I was in a scramble since my hairstylist was sick and I needed to get my hair done before the holiday and before a trip. She fit me in and really took her time with the service and with my hair. She had such great attention to detail and you can tell she really enjoyed what she does. Since it was her first time doing my hair she asked me questions to make sure she knew exactly what I wanted. When I was there we decided to tone my extensions to give me a better color match and she did such a great job. Studio was nice and clean. Would recommend this salon and Donna to anyone! Will be coming back read more

I hope Minnie will forgive how late this review is! I went to her now over a month ago intending just to get highlights/haircut. Because my hair had been dyed red a year ago, the highlights were coming out funky, so she recommended a gloss and had to lighten up the whole thing a lot more. Having seen the photos of other blonde success stories she had done, I was less afraid than I would have been otherwise...and it turned out that I shouldn't have been nervous at all! It came out a perfect cool blonde. This is a color I never thought I would be able to pull off, but now I can't imagine going back to my natural dark reddish brown. Minnie made time for my appointment at the VERY LAST MINUTE, stayed until almost 11pm to finish my job, and did absolutely everything to make sure I would be happy with the result. She's talented, funny, and a genuinely good person as well as a great stylist. I can't recommend her highly enough. Despite having to spend $$ keeping up this color, I'm actually looking forward to going back to the salon and having her work her magic on my hair when I need a touch-up...that says it all! read more

unsatisfied with this hair salon!!! didn't feel welcomed at all. On top of it all i was very unhappy with my hair. stylist promised me a nice Carmel blonde...my hair was ORANGE. I was charged 260 dollars for orange hair! NEVER going back this salon is a rip off that needs new stylist. read more

Minnie is the best. I had a vision of exactly what I wanted for my hair and she made it come to life. She was able to do things to my hair that nobody else has ever been able to such as giving my hair the incredible volume that I wanted. I did a trial with her before my wedding and then she did my bridal hair as well as her and her team did my mother in law and bridesmaids and they did a fantastic job. They started very early and worked hard and I would 10/10 times book her again. read more

Can I give a negative star? I never got a chance to visit this establishment thanks to the inept receptionist. I called to make an appt a week prior and the girl couldn't seem to comprehend "next Saturday". I found a person named Minnie from Yelp and was going to try her for the first time. Then on the day of the appt I called to confirm the time and was told by the same girl that Minnie wasn't in. I had a four o'clock wedding and then had to scramble to find another salon at the last minute I told receptionist that if this is how they run the business, I want no part of it read more

Had such an amazing experience with Minnie! I told her exactly what I wanted and she went above and beyond my expectations !! She took her time doing my hair and even stayed past salon hours making sure my hair was absolutely perfect. Minnie is very sweet and makes you feel very comfortable as soon as you walk in. It took me a very long time to find a salon on Staten Island that suited my needs. I'm so happy I found Minnie! I will absolutely be back! read more

Not worth the money they are charging... I spent 300 on a 1/2 head of highlights, base color, toner, cut and blow out. The job isn't bad but it isn't mind blowing either! I would spend 250 in other salons where they offer you complimentary food and beverages and are more high-end which this place isn't... They colorist dropped the brush while doing my highlights 3 times! Then when we went to the sink she dropped something down my back... I have color on my hands, arms and feet! Then I go home and my husband informs me I have color all over the back of my new shirt! Will not go back here again! Way to much money for unpro read more

Minnie did an excellent job cutting my hair. It was refreshing to encounter a stylist who was fun and willing to talk out what I wanted. She gave me a great pixie cut that was fresh and not old lady ! read more

Minnie was amazing! I came in with an idea of what I wanted (typical one-color process, haircut and blow out). The color looks great (dark brown) and I couldn't be happier with the cut (long layers and long bangs) and luscious blowout. She made the entire process smooth and relaxing and I will definitely keep coming back to her moving forward. It's hard to find a regular hair dresser that you can trust and since I have only been in the city for a year I can finally say I found my regular! read more

My sister's engagement party and the weddings we've booked Minnie for have been in hot, humid weather, yet somehow our hair dos have lasted! Thanks Minnie for everything!!! read more

Minnie is a very skilled colorist and offers her services at a very reasonable rate. I have dark hair and I have been highlighting my hair (without a base bump or color wash!) for years.
