I trusted the stylus because she gave me a great haircut before, I went in to be colored copper brown from brown/black hair. The manager knew that double the dye wouldn't work to lift the color, but still allowed the Silas to do it so the top of my head was red the bottom was brown. I went into fix it. They bleached my entire head. and I looked like Ronald McDonald. It was nowhere near the color I wanted. Then they gave me an attitude and tried to turn it around on me not once but twice. I would avoid this like the plague and just pay extra upfront at the other salons versus trying to save money because what cost me was more than $200 in the end plus a bunch of stress and hair that I never even wanted this color. I would never send anyone there again. read more

Everything about this place was amazing, the atmosphere, the workers, the service, and of course the hair styling. If you need a style or a cut or anything go to this place! Diana did my mom's hair and I got my hair done by another lovely lady! Thank you Lemon Tree, we will be back! read more

Alba is a salon stylist and is very good. The receptionist at the front desk has to do a better job. I was scheduled to arrive for my salon appointment at 9:30 am on a Saturday. I arrived at 9:23 - a little early. The receptionist told me Alba was not here yet, and did not know where she was, and she was scheduled to arrive at 9 am. I asked the receptionist if they knew that, why didn't they contact her customers? I drove all the way to the salon for an appointment that was made in advance. Now, I have no guarantee Alba was going to show up. The receptionist became very defensive and stated that I should be more sympathetic because Alba could be hurt somewhere. A 3rd person decided to chime in delivering messages of emotion. I wish Alba well. But, if there is an ounce of business acumen in this Salon, they should have apologized to me. This is about handling your business and customers appropriately so they feel welcome and WANT to come back. My statements had NOTHING to do with Alba, inasmuch as it had to do with the extremely poor customer service I received. They admitted that Alba DID text them earlier, but it was in Spanish, and none of them could read it. The demographics in Riverhead have a very heavy Spanish population ...this Salon couldn't find ANYBODY to interpret her email? Their business relies on customer service which was extremely poor that morning. When they asked if anyone spoke Spanish, a gentleman was sitting and read Alba's email. This salon owes me a gifted apology. Shame on you all. read more

Every time we go in there. It's usually very good. My daughter has long hair and they're able to do almost exactly what she shows them. A hairdresser named Karen does an amazing job at highlights. read more

I originally came in for just a wash and trim ended up with a botched hair cut. I specifically said do not cut my front pieces (I had a middle part side bangs) that I wanted to grow it out one length... she ended up cutting so much from the front. Not even making it even, my left side was cut much more than the right. And theres also so many random super short pieces that dont even blend in with my hair. I didnt get it blow dried but i knew by the way she was scrunching up my hair she knew she messed up too. ABSOLUTELY HATE IT!!! Do not recommend at all! read more

See all

Went in for a trim and . Basically got my hair only used the razor no scissors at all ! Buzz cut ! Need hat now for months read more

Buyer beware!! This salon has hidden charges galore - like the 4% up-charge for using your credit card. With hair salons, some things are just a given - an expected part of the service. For example, when one has their hair done, one expects to have a dry head leaving the salon. But a $25 up charge for dry hair is extreme; especially considering that no product was used, no style was given, the hair was just, well, dried. I did NOT ask for a 'blow out' - I said I would prefer to leave with a dry head. At no time did the staff inform me that there would be an$25 up charge for this. Had I been notified - I would have walked out with wet hair. I don't understand why this is not an included part of the service. Next LT will find a way to charge you for sitting while having your hair done. Bottom line - hidden charges, BEWARE!! read more

Went in for a blowout today. I Have been here many times. However today, when the hairdresser Aura, asked me to sit in her chair and I informed her that it was broken and very crooked and uncomfortable (the place was empty and there were 12 other not broken chairs) she told me to get out and refused ti provide me w the service. If she is mentally ill then I feel sorry for her but she will destroy this business. Owners should know. read more

I am a longtime client. Went in around noon as a walk in and asked if someone could apply a temporary glaze on my hair. That's it. Normally takes 10 mins. My color is on file. Person at front desk said no one would be available to help me today. Period. The salon was not busy. I have no idea why she denied me service. And for the entire day. They say they take walk-ins. But beware. read more

Went for a cut today , on the menu it said includes wash and cut for $25 they only sprayed water on my hair and charged for the whole service, the lady at the front (receptionist) was unprofessional and looked miserable, my first and last time going here ! read more

Straight up garbage. Stylist did not know simple techniques and struggled to match a straightforward style. Pushed her own image of how my hair should look like as opposed how I wanted my hair cut. Stylist cut my neck multiple times, showing no experience in hair cutting. Never returning. I suggest not stepping foot in this place. Overpriced and poor stylists compared to alternative salons. read more

My daughter went to this salon to get her hair done for a wedding, as she was a bridesmaid (per bride's request). She received a sloppy, messy, and unflattering half updo. After she was done crying about her disappointment in the style, we were able to take it out, and her sister did a french braid that ended up looking great! You really owe her the $80 refund that you charged her. Weddings are already stressful, let alone being stressed out over her hair, and having to waste precious time having it redone. It was really bad. read more

Horrible. I asked for a trim and she cut all my hair off. Didn't listen to anything I said I will never go back here. Very disappointed. Also charged me $30 instead of $25 for a haircut I didn't even want! WtF! The hairdresser stressed the whole time about how she forgot her cigarettes. So trashy and shitty service read more

!!!!!DO NOT GO HERE!!!! You will leave feeling defeated and bad about yourself. The staff is rude and inconsiderate and the salon is dirty. There is a ceiling fan dangling over the salon chairs like a bad scene out of Final Destination. I asked for a very specific color and cut. Was told it could be done, I walked out with completely damaged and destroyed hair and a color and cut that looked nothing like what I asked for. She literally didn't wash all the color out if my hair and then used the blow dryer on it. I was told the damage "must have been from something I did to my hair before I got there" If you try to complain they will blame it on you. Honestly this place should be shut down read more

Horrible. Came in once they gave me a mullet. Another time completely did not dye hair properly. Waste of money. Do not go here. "20 years of experience " clearly does not care how your hair turns out. read more

I always get exactly what I ask for and at an AWESOME price! My spiral perm came out AMAZING and my curls have lasted an entire year without any issues. No breakage, no damage, no empty pocketbook! My last trim was easy and fast and less than $35 including tip...which was EARNED! read more

Really liked having a trustworthy place to do color. Instead of a touch up fee got charged a "first time" fee. When I asked the receptionist why she directed me to the colorist who stared at her and said, yes it was a touch up but you know we always charge a fist time fee. WHY? The hair washer got a lot of water down my back, and no one removed the color off my forehead and face. The worst part when I called to speak to the manager-- she connected me to the colorist again. read more

If there was a 0 star choice, I would give this place zero stars. The people who work here have NO idea how to cut hair!! I went in and asked for a trim, 1-2 inches off. I told her that my hair was angled and to not cut the front because I am trying even my hair out. Not only did she cut the front, she LAYERED my hair and cut my hair in the wrong part, so the front of my hair is two completely different lengths, she even noticed, and began cutting MORE! I flat out said stop cutting! I walked out so angry, these people don't even know how to do a trim for gods sake!! DO NOT GO HERE, pay a little more and go to an actual salon that has professionals!! read more

Went into Lemon Tree today because I was told they do eyebrows. My experience was not good. Told the young lady to fix the issue twice. I gave up. Perhaps they have different people that are able to do them. I hope. Will try again with another person because it's very convenient with the hours they offer. We shall see. read more

Came here for a balayage and I can't be more satisfied with our how it came out. My stylist really listened to all of my concerns and gave me exactly what I wanted. I loveee this salon. read more

Went to sallys to get a number 4 color which is a medium ash brown then went to LEMON TREE for my appointment. However the lady who was going to do my hair told me that my hair was too dark so i should go back to sallys and exchange what i bought for a 5 and a 6 which is a lighter ash brown color... I specifically told them that I DO NOT WANT HIGH LIGHTS, that i want my whole hair colored. She said thats fine we'll just have to bleach it then deposit the color. Once i sat down i even asked her again if its really gonna come out like the color that i want. She even assured me that it will. However when it was done she did my hair entirely opposite of what i wanted. 1. SHE DID HIGHLIGHTS 2. ITS NOT THE COLOR THAT INWANT 3. MY WHOLE BACK WASNT COLORED. I called the next day to let them know however the receptionist wasnt even apologetic and was insisting that its my fault. read more

I was so pleased with the Lemon Tree at Riverhead. I ended up there rather by chance, as, although I am in the process of moving, I was desperate to get my hair done as soon as possible before starting a new job and could not wait to schedule an appointment somewhere. I was a little concerned when I walked in as it appeared somewhat run-down - I can't exactly put my finger on it, but it was not new and spiffy. I spoke with the helpful receptionist and he told me haircuts were $17 and that I should take it seat by the sinks in the back. After a little wait - there were 3 people ahead of me - I received a very nice and vigorous shampoo by the shampoo girl. I was then directed to a chair near the front and the stylist came to greet me. Again, I was a little concerned, as she cut my hair while sitting down. Not that I can't empathize, as I wouldn't want to stand all day, either. After cutting my hair, she asked me if I wanted it blow-dried, and I said yes (assuming correctly that this would be an additional cost). She gave me a nice blow out and trimmed it a little more. The total came to $22, and you certainly can't beat that! Moreover, I am extremely pleased with my hair cut - it looks great, and is exactly what I wanted. I just may try the Lemon Tree near my new apartment! read more

Not the friendliest welcome from the front desk or shampoo girl. This is my second time here and the girl who cut my hair did a fabulous job. For her alone I would give 5 stars - she knew exactly what I wanted from the picture I provided and did a great job! At $35 for a wash, cut, and blow dry I'll definitely be back! read more

I went to one of those High-End Hamptons salons for a run of the mill balayage and Trim. They absolutely ruined my hair. Dakota at the Lemon tree was able to fit me in (in the middle of Prom week, no less) to fix me up and make me look and feel like myself again. She's an absolute color champion. She's the most talented hair dresser I've ever been to. I have a habit of going into the salon for cuts and saying "do whatever you think is best" and I ALWAYS leave more than satisfied. What's really impressive is that the cut looks great the day I walk out of the salon, but two weeks later it somehow looks even better. Jessica is also really incredible. When I can't get Dakota, I'll head to her immediately. read more

I love the Riverhead Lemon tree Elaina is so talented she does amazing cuts and awesome coloring Besides the fact that she is very friendly She asks what u would like and does what u ask I asked her opinion on a cut and listened to her advice Go To Lemontree Ask For Elaina read more

One week ago, my wife made appointments for both of us at 11am at this Lemon Tree. When we arrived at 10:45, knowing we were early but they took my wife right away anyway. They asked me to wait 5 minutes outside as they had no sitting area inside due to COVID-19 restrictions. I waited outside, on a single metal chair in the blazing sun and heat. At 11:10am, I was soaking wet from the sweat and went to my truck. I texted my wife to tell them "Forget IT". They could have at least offered to allow me to stand inside in the AC or at the VERY least, offered me a bottle of water while I waited. That was the longest "5 minutes" I ever experienced. They got the first part of their name right...LEMON!! read more

I was a walk in for a blow out and I didn't have to wait, which was nice. However, when I went to pay, the man at the desk said "30 dollars". What??? Christina did a nice job, but not $30 nice! I usually go to Lemon Tree in Patchogue and have gone to the one in Medford and only pay $15, so I didn't think I had to ask how much. (There are no prices posted) When I commented on the price, he said that some Lemon Trees only charge $8.99 for a hair cut. (so what). Lesson learned. Now I'll remember to ask the price first. read more

when someone brings their 80 year old mother in for a cut and she tries conversing with the stylist but the stylist says NOTHING and just cuts with a face on as if she was being bothered or inconvenienced. when the clients daughter posted her story and a pic on her fb she got reported as bullying? it is her opinion and since her mom just moved out there I know she will NOT be returning to your business. There are much better places where people are treated with respect. read more

I gave this place a second shot after a bad experience 6 months ago. If I had to rate that trip I would give it 1 star. I'm a friendly 20 year old girl and I can even look 15 or 16 to other people. I'm guessing this is what makes me seem like a pushover. Both times I went I only asked for a $7 trim. Plain and simple. Each time I explained to the hairdresser that I just wanted a quick trim - no wash, no dry. While I will say the hairdresser was more precise and didn't go scissor-happy on me this time she also pushed the blow dryer on me for a better sale. I said no three more times. By the second time I was saying no she was already blowing it on my hair. This turned my $7 sale into a $20 sale (excluding tip). When I asked the cashier why I was being charged $13 more than the sale price she said it was because of the blow drying. My hair was nowhere near dry because I had to physically stop the hairdresser - again - to let them know that no means no. Aside from the fact *that I said NO* I genuinely have always avoided blow drying my hair and it's not something I want to put it through. Maybe it's different at other Lemon Tree locations. I'm not sure. Never going to mine again though. It's fine if your employees want to increase their sales (I've been a part-time salesperson for three years myself) but when the customer says no, NO MEANS NO. :) read more

Horrible place. Went there to get my eyebrows done and they did such a horrible job, my eyebrows were not even, and to charge me $10 ?? Unbelievable, never again. read more

Cheri did highlights and a cut on me and it was terrible! She died my hair basically black then added white highlights. Nothing close I what I described which was light, sunny and natural. She wanted me to tell her where I wanted the exact placement of each highlight after she realized she messed up the base color big time. Never have I been asked that before. Had to go back for correction (I've never had to do this in my entire life) which was basically just adding more highlights. The entire time she tried to tell me how the situation was my fault. She was not really able to fix my hair since the issue was with the base color AND she ruined my tank top and cardigan by trying to strip some of the color out. Apparently she doesn't know how to wrap a drape around her clients either. Got two stars for at least attempting to fix my hair and the trim didn't totally screw up my hair. read more

I am giving Lemon Tree 5 stars mostly because I love the speedy service, walk in availability and flexible hours. It's hard for me to schedule hair appointments at salons that book months in advance due to my crazy hours at work. Both times I have been in I was lucky to work with Jessica. She is a great girl who's skills are magnificent! I get a full head of blonde highlights and she matched my highlights to my outgrown summer sun color perfectly. Her knowledge and professionalism set her apart from other places I've had my hair done. Will be returning again and again! read more

I went there a few years ago. I have naturally curly hair. It was quite long and very wavy. I asked for a trim and they cut it terribly short and did such a horrible job; there was very little wave to it. I wanted to cry. Went from below my shoulders to the bottom of my ears! Cut a foot off. Time had passed and I figured I would give them another chance. I now have short hair and went wanting a trim--and wanted it very short in the back. I sat down and the haircutter told me she wouldn't do it, because I would look like a man!!! She refused!!! I could not believe it. read more

This place really needs Tabitha Coffey. We've been here twice and have had four different stylists. When you come in, the waiting area is a carpet-covered bench. The style books are dated. It is not unusual to see what appear to be customers sitting in chairs, chatting away....until they get up and start cutting hair. There are some who are working and some who are doing their own hair. My daughter got her hair colored there twice, I have gotten my hair colored once. They are very sloppy with the coloring. Be prepared to scrub coloring off your neck, ears, forehead, and out of your clothes. It sucks with brown. It really sucks with bright colors. The first time we went, I got a simple cut. Dakota listened to me and gave me a great haircut. My daughter liked her color and was okay with the cut. This time, my stylist was a little sloppy with the color, but cleaned me up alright. The cut was okay, but real poufy - "like a brown football helmet". My daughter tried a different color and it looked good while we were waiting. The end result was a tiny bit of color on the top of her head and not much of a cut. I kept asking my daughter if she was sure she didn't want a little more taken off or something else done with the color. She kept telling me she was fine. When we got home, she burst into tears. She hated the color and had argued with the stylist that she wanted more taken off. I called the salon back and told them that she was crying over the cut and that we would like to come back and have it corrected. The receptionist asked if we intended to come back the same day. I told him no, we had just spent 3 1/2 hours there and she was currently crying - not good right now. So we go back tomorrow to see if they can fix it. I'm tempted to go elsewhere, but want to give them a chance to fix the problem. The GOOD: It is a good location, the hours are good and they welcome walk ins. They keep the place clean. The pricing is reasonable. They do offer to fix anything you don't like. The staff is friendly. The BAD: Everybody could use more education. Please stock more colors for the stylists to offer - not just light, medium, and dark. Please not so sloppy with the color, it's a bitch to get out of clothes! When a client says that they want a couple of inches taken off, by all means double check, just don't say, "you don't want to do that". Yes they do or they wouldn't have said it. Update the style books. While it is nice that the girl is thorough in her sweeping up, I don't appreciate getting my feet slammed by the broom every time she goes by. Fully stock each station. I doesn't inspire confidence when stylists have to ransack various stations to do their job. Spend the money to update the decor and to keep the education current. read more

I went to the Lemon Tree located in Riverhead, NY around 1:30PM today(7/20/2017). I was kept waiting about 2 minutes before being greeted at the front counter because the 2 women behind the counter were chatting about something and I felt ignored. Finally one of the women asked what I wanted & I responded that I needed a haircut. She directed me to the 5th chair on the right and was greeted by the stylist. I asked her to cut my hair short but I still wanted the same style that I had. She preceded to wet down my hair and cut it short, as I asked. She finished cutting my hair within 5 minutes said she was finished. I left the chair with a wet hair - She did not blow dry it. I Paid $17.00. I went home & blow dried my hair and then I noticed that the hair cut was chopped & uneven. Even the side burns were unevenly cut. Worst haircut I EVER HAD. Bad customer service & even worse hair cut. read more

Yes they do a professional haircut. However, make sure you express exactly what you expect and want done. I went in and we agreed that I just needed a trim, also I mentioned that I wanted it longer on the sides. In fifteen minutes I got a 60+ year old typical haircut. Not a trim, not longer on the sides and the back cut so short it resembles a mans haircut and the rest is very, very short. My fault as I should have emphasized exactly what I wanted. I will go again ( probably in several months when this grows ou)t, but will be a little more assertive. read more

Took my 18 month old here for a haircut - the stylist was extremely pleasant and did a fantastic job!! She was quick and accurate. Can't really beat $15. I would definitely come back for a kid's haircut!! read more

I'm giving this place a 3 star. Despite the fact my 1st time visit here wasn't the best. I believe every place deserves a 2nd chance. I let a friend of mine whom worked in a salon do my hair. Long story short, she fried it to no return. I tried everything to save it. I called for a last minute appointment they took me within an hour. I was nervous to find out who would be working with my hair. I ended up with Dakota! She's young but she knows what she's doing. I would give her a 5 star. She did an amazing job! Saved my hair the best she could! Awesome cut. She gets 2 thumbs up from me! If you want your hair done from someone who loves what they do and it's not just a job for them... She's the right one. read more

I very rarely write reviews, but since I was so happy with the way my hair turned out I felt I needed to give credit where it was due. My stylist was Dakota. I went in for a root touch up and a haircut. I brought a picture of the cut I wanted. She talked me into getting some highlights added to break up the root color (as they always do) and, even though it wound up costing about $30. more, it was well worth it! She picked out the perfect base color and the highlights turned out the perfect color. Also, she made sure she didn't overlap onto already damaged hair. I am EXTREMELY FUSSY about my hair and was shocked that It turned out so perfect! She is confident and experienced. I highly recommend Dakota! read more
