So first of all I work night shift and had ONE DAY off to get my hair done. All the places near me were by appointment only SPECIFICALLY for curly hair so I ended up calling Cut N Curls and they called me back and said to come in! I live an hour away so they were very accommodating and when I finally arrived they were empty so I was seated immediately and she began working on my hair. The problems with my hair were: roots were flat, I had previous bleach from a botched job years ago, my curls were falling FLAT. So I needed a revamp for my hair and omg did they deliver. Below are pics of my hair directly before arriving, I only wet and combed my hair since she does a dry cut and that was recommended to come with my hair brushed. Then after the dry cut, I asked for layers and she warned me about shrinkage which for some people I understand why having shorter hair would be a big thing for them but for me I just wanted my hair to be healthy and finally get rid of the bleached ends. I told her I've never had a haircut before and boy did my hair show it lol. The process: It was a dry cut, I was washed and then they styled the curls with water by sectioning and curling them individually, then was mousse and they scrunched it up. I was dried in the normal way I would dry my curls at home and the end result was amazing! My curls are back to being bouncy and the hair is healthy so I'm very happy! 3 people worked on me simultaneously and they were all nice. Also I came in around 4:45pm and I was finished at 5:52pm. Total was $250 but u get what u pay for and I'm very much happy. read more

Second worst haircut in my life; the worst was when I cut it myself in 7th grade. I asked Samina, because of her stellar online reviews, to even out a previous haircut so I could either blow dry my curly hair or let it go natural. She noted that my hair was noticeably uneven and longer on one side. True. But what I ended up with was even MORE uneven, and MUCH shorter than I wanted, with odd pieces sticking out here and there. What I got was what another stylist, also Deva-trained, called "The Curly Hair Show." Samina chopped away at my dry hair with a scissor, like Edward Scissorhands trimming a hedge, strictly by eye. That took 20 minutes. Then her assistant spent an HOUR wetting and rewetting and moussing and gelling and scrunching, cutting off random pieces, forcing my much-shorter hair into a mop of glossy curls that were already starting to frizz just hours later. That was in July. I had to let it grow for over seven months before I felt I had enough hair for another stylist to work with. I don't think Samina even ever asked me for my name. She didn't enter my name in the book when I called, told me to "just come in." I paid cash for a lower price (her request) but it was still very expensive. I'm stunned by her near-perfect, glowing reviews, which were what attracted me to her in the first place. But that is exactly why I feel I owe others an honest, unsolicited opinion. read more

Got a good curly cut at this salon with Samina. The whole experience took 1.5 hours, and everything was done by Samina personally (cutting, washing, drying etc). Excellent service and great end result. Slightly hefty price tag but as expected for a cut and style in manhasset. read more

I've been going to Samina for my haircuts for close to a year! It's always scary as a curly-haired person to try someone new (I have a 3b curl pattern), but as soon as I met Samina I knew I was in good hands. She only serves 1 customer at a time, so you have her undivided attention. She is a great listener and helps understand the vision you have for your hair. My first 3 cuts from her were not curly cuts, they were routine cuts to start to get my hair growing and healthy again. After my 3rd cut Samina said, next time, it's curly cut time, and I knew she was right. It was time! Samina is certified in the Cadō cut and I am EXTREMELY pleased with the results of the cut. She gave me the lift I needed but didn't take away from my length. (Two pics below: the blue shirt is my first wash after the cut, second pic is just a different angle from the next wash.) I highly recommend Samina for any curly girl! She is priced fairly and is fun to spend an hour with for your haircut! read more

I have been going to Samina for 2 years now. she colors and cuts my hair and cuts both of my daughters hair. She is amazing and very skilled. Her personal touch is catered to your hair. She will be honest with you and you will never leave her salon unhappy. She's the best! Juhi read more

Samina knew exactly how to correct my last haircut which was a horrible mess. She is professional in nature, knowledgeable in hair cutting and a delightful person. I am so pleased with how she cut my hair! I will definitely be back. read more

Took my daughter with very curly hair to Mina. First time I ever heard of a dry cut and just watching the process was amazing. No one has ever known how to cut my daughters hair properly. She even gave my 14 year old step by step instruction on how to care for her hair and what types of products to stay away from. Overall experience was phenomenal! Very clean establishment, friendly and knowledgeable service. read more

I was looking for a local stylist after going to the city for years, and I'm so glad I found Samina! As a first-time client (and a very particular curly girl), I was a little nervous, but her stellar reviews convinced me to book an appointment. From the start, she was patient, asked thoughtful questions to make sure we were aligned on my color correction, and explained exactly what to expect from the results. She also suggested a haircut, which wasn't originally part of my plan, but I trusted her expertise and decided to go for it--and I'm so happy I did! She took her time, was incredibly detailed, and gave me both a beautiful color and a shape that complements my curls perfectly. I will definitely be back! read more

This was a very disappointing curly cut, made much worse by a stylist (she mentioned she is the owner of the salon) who was proselytizing the entire time and scolding me about how I was not religious enough! it was so uncomfortable to be criticized and told I should be following the stylist's religious beliefs, while I'm trapped listening because she's cutting my hair! On top of that she gave me a shaggy cut, which is the opposite of what I asked for. I felt so awful when I got home. It's a clean and nice looking salon and I can def forgive an imperfect cut, but the long and critical religious lecture was so weird and unprofessional that I just can not recommend this place. read more

Great haircut, very pleasant owner. I liked the way my eyebrows were done. There was no skin damage to my skin. It was a very good experience. read more

You get what you pay for. I came in for a dry curly cut, which starts at $135+ as listed on the website but my cut wound up being $175 because I have very thick and very long hair. Mina took time and care to make sure I was comfortable, understood the scope of the pricing for my personal cut, and took the time to understand the look I was trying to achieve. She definitely understands curly hair and I would highly recommend for anyone looking for a quality stylist on Long Island! read more

Went back for color this time and loved the results. Got rid of stringy brown and had red glaze applied. She can work with a variety of techniques so just ask! read more

Always get good service and haircuts here. The only problem I have is that there's no Nassau County location, and I have to drive 40 minutes out. Worth it though! read more

Samina is an artist!!! I have been going to her for last 2 years from getting my hair cut to highlight, to touch up and also keratin done..She took time advising me what would look good on my face and what I should not do because that would damage my hair.. Hands down this is the best hair salon I have found and I have raved about it to my family and friends.. I live in Suffolk and it is a long drive for me, but I do not mind at all. read more

I highly recommend this lovely salon, and am pleased to share my experience, I set up an appointment for an elderly friend. Both Samina and her assistant, Neilys, were very accommodating to my friend's physical limitations, making us both feel comfortable and well cared for. The salon is sparkling clean, and they are sensitive to Covid-related safety protocols. While observing the care and attention to detail with which they worked, I decided to inquire if they had the time to attend to my long, pandemic - neglected locks. Lucky for me, they were able to do so. Samina listens to her clients, makes recommendations, and explains the reasons behind her suggestions. We both left the salon feeling pampered, very happy with our respective hairstyles, and hair that looks and feels healthy and rejuvenated. Cut N Curls Salon is most definitely a great choice for one's beauty needs! read more

After my curly hair specialist moved out of state a couple years ago I've been searching for another stylist who could understand my hair and give me a curly dry cut. I was so discouraged after each cut had me thinking I will never find a stylist who could make me like my hair again, that is until I met Mina! She is knowledgeable, down to earth and patient and gave me a fantastic dry curly cut, style and even fixed my hair color that I've been struggling with for years! She really took her time to understand what works for me, and I didn't feel rushed or judged. She also was not the type to push products or extra services on me which I really appreciated and is very rare to find in a salon owner. My hair hasn't felt this healthy in such a long time and it really has made me feel so much better about myself! Thank you Mina! read more

After hearing rave reviews from friends who have been to Cut N Curls, I had to make an appointment with Samina to see for myself, and I am SO glad I did!! I wanted to shape my hair a bit more and clean up the ends. Samina said, "trust me, I got this!" At Cut N Curls Samina uses beautiful, high quality products which left my hair feeling thick and conditioned while looking shiny and full. Samina took her time to make sure that each layer was exactly even and would frame my face well. Her products are high quality as is her process. Over the past 5 years I have been to many salons in Manhasset, Garden City, and Roslyn in search of a "go-to" place I can trust. Yesterday, I found it! This was hands down the best experience and best haircut I have ever had. Not only will Samina leave you feeling and looking beautiful, but she is the most lovely person to talk to which made my time in her salon all the more enjoyable. Can't recommend this beautiful salon enough! read more

I found this stylist on google after searching for curly hair stylists near me. I originally made an appointment for a curly dry cut but when I went in she convinced me that I may not want to waste a lot of money getting a curly cut if it meant I couldn't dedicate time to care for my curls--which is legitimate and good advice. I opted instead for a regular haircut with a blowdry which cost me about $108 with tax. My appointment was for 4pm and I wasnt seen until an hour later. Initially I thought she seemed like a friendly enough person until she proceeded to complain to me in various different ways about me smelling like curry for the next hour. She asked if I cooked curry before I came to her and I said that I ate south asian food before I came. I constantly apologized to her but felt unwelcome the entire time. She went on to explain that her clientele were white and she always made sure she did not smell like desi food around them. She is knowledgeable about hair and I liked my haircut but I did not enjoy the constant prying into my personal life and racist comments about my culture. She also assumed that all of my previous stylists were south asian and believed that I did not spend a lot of money on my hair (I dont understand why). I felt unwelcome because of my ethnic background and I will not be returning. I felt bullied by a typical desi auntie. I normally tip my stylists 20% even if they are the owner but I tipped her much, much less because of the poor service. read more

Samina exceeds all expectations! Her impeccable professionalism and extensive knowledge are unparalleled. The serene atmosphere she provides, along with her exceptional service, truly sets her apart. Amazing cut and blow out! It's safe to say this will be my new go to destination! read more

One is peaceful, expertly done hair. I recommend without any hesitation. Mina is a rockstar and Carolina was lovely.

Samina was amazing! Her salon was very clean and she sanitizers after every customer. My husband and I got our colors done and got haircuts. Our hair looked so good. Planning to schedule my next appointment soon. Planning to do Keratin soon. read more

Mina and Carolina are incredible! I found Cut and Curls after being in Philly for 10 years with the same hairdresser. Right away I could tell Mina had incredible hair knowledge and technical skills and my cut and color came out great! Carolina was an incredible surprise (new hire) last time I went in. She accommodated doing my nails within the time frame of my hair appt (so appreciated with a young kid at home). I can't say enough good things about this salon and the incredible work they are doin and all of the friendly vibes they put out into the universe. read more

Samina was WONDERFUL- not only did she give me an amazing haircut, but she did a really fabulous brow shaping as well. She talked me through a lot of hair care and what I was using and how/why it was working, and things that weren't serving me anymore. She was so personable and had such great advice, I'll be a loyal customer from now on. read more

Samina is wonderful, she has great incite and she is a pro! She knows color and she is a true artist. She made me feel immediateIy comfortable. The vibe is relaxed and real. Not a bunch of phony beauticians strutting around the place like in some hair salons! She took the time to hear my concerns and desires. Neilyes was also fantastic, she washed my color out, and gave me excellent tips specific to the texture of my hair which I have tried and will swear by! Thank you Samina and Neilyes!! See you in 6 weeks!! ;) read more

I spent $117 on a curly trim and keratin treatment--that's $117 after the discount (it should've been $160). The prices they show online don't reflect in store prices (since when I made the appointment, it said the cut would be $60 and the treatment $15). While very nice, the woman who cut my hair gave me a not so flattering cut and overall this isn't somewhere I'd come back for a haircut. read more

I usually hate getting a haircut only bc i dont like having people doing a half ass job on me. So im very picky on where and who i go to for anything. My friend recommended i go here and she has curly hair. I have very straight hair. So I figured if they can do curly they can definitely do straight. Such a nice place super clean and nice atmosphere. I love the way my hair turned out!! I feel so pretty and will definitely be going back for anything hair related haha:) read more

Samina has created a wonderful environment where you feel at home. Her knowledge about hair health is extensive, which she readily shares. After one visit, my hair looked more vibrant and healthy. I have returned several times, plan to continue, and highly recommend her services! read more

Samina is excellent at all aspects of hair. She really knows how to do a gorgeous blonde. My daughter and I have been going to her for 16 months now. After having had my hair fried by a local salon my hair is now long and healthy and blonde. She is always on time and she only sees one client at a time, so not too much exposure. She also does my keratin! Love love love Samina!!!! read more
