They made my hair orange because they didn't want to take their time with me. They didn't even care. When I complained they said their salon is a "fast pace" salon so it's not for me. read more

Ruby, the owner, was friendly and patient. The price was way less than I expected for a salon. I recommend seeing Ruby for a men's cut.

I had a great experience with Ruby. He did a fantastic job with my haircut, paying attention to detail and making sure I was happy with the result. Ruby's skills are truly impressive, and I love how my hair turned out. I left feeling happy and confident with the results. Ruby's talent makes the visit worth it. Also the girls that work there are all so super nice! read more

I've been coming here for about 1 year. I use Neiv, to cut and color. I'm blind and blond is hard to get, but he does. I've also used Ruby, and he is good as well. the girls are so nice. Momma, is nice. I've never had any issues other than good. Maxine read more

I've been coming to the salon for a while and let me tell you... No one ever cut my hair the way Ruby did. He just knows how to work his magical talent! I was a hairstylist myself, so I know how a good haircut feels like! Personally, I don't do highlights, but I saw his work on other clients and it's excellent!! Nice blended balayage, highlights and she does a beautiful and clean job with hair extensions!!! You can't go wrong! 10/10!!!! I recommended him to all my friends, and everyone was happy! The stuff is amazing, everyone is great, and Ruby always make sure all his clients are satisfied! Can not thank you enough, will definitely go back !!! See u soon!!! read more

At one time, Ruby used to give great haircuts, especially for those of us with thick, curly hair. Plus, his prices were hard to beat. These days his cuts are unreliable, at best. He's very distracted by everything else that's going on in the salon and genuinely doesn't seem interested in cutting hair anymore. It's too bad, because he has the skill. I understand having someone else blow dry my hair after the cut if you're busy, but when no one else is even waiting?! That's an extra tip I have to leave, even though it was not my request. At least he did check and tweak the cut afterwards. I've also experienced unprofessionalism from several of his employees over the years. I would put up with it only because of the difficulty I was having in finding someone else to give me a good haircut. After much trial and error, I've found a new stylist who I'm happy (enough) with. I'm paying a lot more, but at least it comes without the aggravation. read more

I made an appointment to get my hair colored a week in advance. On my way there, they called me to come later without any explanation. Once I got there, I had to wait almost 30 mins. I wanted balayage, and asked the girl helping me to PLEASE not to make it neither orange or too yellow ( I showed her a picture of caramel balayage) ñ. When she was finished I saw my hair was too "blonde" for my taste, but I thought it was just the lighting. Fast forward one week later, and two washes, my hair was so orange that I couldn't even sleep. I was afraid about going back plus they don't open on Saturday, so I went to another salon to get my hair fixed (over the other salon they explained the importance of toner). Should have taken into consideration the other reviews and not go to this salon. read more

They tried to hide my review. Reuven/ Ruby is highly greedy, I did not hesitate to proceed on the truth & share my experience with him and his business. The only reason I went to this salon to begin with is because of Daniel, and I truly hope one day she stops working for these people and either goes to another salon or open up her own salon. To get to the point- I went to this salon for a trim by Daniel, and at the end they told me it'll be $25 and I was going to leave a $7 tip for my small trim and wash. Reuven quickly gets aggravated when I said I don't have cash (I was unaware/ forgot this is a cash only place), which is fine because I offered to Venmo the salon. Reuven was extremely mad that I wanted to leave a 7 dollar tip and he said that I have to now pay the "Venmo percentage" and I MUST pay $18 extra on my trim. Please note that this review is not even about being forced to paying 18 dollars extra for my trim, it's about how he was yelling at me during this in the salon and being HIGHLY insistent and rude that "YOU MUST pay me $43 in total" after pulling out his calculator and holding it in my face. (No exaggeration whatsoever). He was very loud. Who treats their customers like this and yells at them over tipping? I wanted to at least send the tip via Venmo to Daniel but he yelled at me even more and said no. This is highly unprofessional behavior, my family and friends will never go to his salon. read more

Stay away from this un professional place . The worst customer service., when you done and ready to pay they ask you if you have money to give tip and the tell you how much to tip, If you don't give 25% the owner yell at you and chase you at the door I'll never go there again read more

Danielle the best at her profession hair salon - very good - Great personality - cute girl loves doing a great job- thanks read more

I went to Ruby salon the first time for Karetin my hair. First of all when I book it w him , they gave me a random girl. She burned my hair . After processing , then 3 days later I washed my hair, which I found out a lot of curls and waves on my hair. When I talked to ruby he said it made ur job easier!! Really?? I spend so much money and time to get the this ugly result. Plus he was asking me to tip each girl that worked on me total of $70 tips!! That's ridiculous!! Very unprofessional. Not going back there. read more

Worst hair salon- bad service! I've been told about Ruby's bad reputation but I really liked a certain hairstylist, so I took the risk. 2 hours after I left my appointment, the owner ruby called me to YELLL that I didn't give enough tip. I gave a normal 5 dollar tip- which is the most I could give since I'm a young girl and can't afford dropping 10 dollar tips. He kept yelling at me and going on and on, that I didn't give enough tip and I need to come back and give more, completely wasn't hearing my side. I was so shocked and uncomfortable that the OWNER would do this. So rude and unprofessional. I felt attacked. Never stepping foot in there again. read more

One of the worst keratin jobs I ever had The guy started to flat iron my hair wet The results were ok only cause I complained and was there for 4 hours Would not recommend The owner was a lil bit shady it was all about paying in cash !!! My hair is still frizzy and not happy at all ... they pretend to know what they are doin but , but if you don't speak their language ur out of luck !!! Would never go back !!!! read more

I got Eli and i swear i am so used to going for a $100 haircut and this was the same thing!!!! Even better !! He was extremely nice and knew what he was doing even when i was a little nervous because of a new way of doing it !!! I walked in with my hair totally messed up, dead, and extremely tangled!! He had to fully brush it and he did fantastic! Soon enough he was cutting it and i asked for 2 inches , he gave me 2 1/2 which if he would of told me to begin with I probably would of said know but he absolutely knew what he was doing and I said how much was this he then told me 2 1/2 i was very happy with my results and forever will love his work!!! It was so nice to get it done and for a fraction of the price of $35 + tip , in total $45-50 was the same thing as a $100 hair in a great salon , maybe cut at a NYC equally good !!! THANK YOU ELLIOT!!! read more

Made a last minute appointment for an updo for the night of a gala I was hosting. I called the salon two hours earlier for an appointment. Not only did I absolutely love how my hair came out but it was reasonably priced! I went to this place based on the fact that they're close to my office and the other reviews here. I'm thrilled that I did! I'd have given them five stars but my hair started falling out at the end of the night. But again for the price, you can't beat it! I definitely plan to go back for regular hair appointments. Edited to add: I went back to a haircut and color. I was originally booked with Gill but wound up having a woman (whose name escapes me) do my hair. There was a misunderstanding at the front desk apparently she thought I said "the girl" and not "Gill" when I made the appointment. Anyway, I'm SUPER glad she wound up doing my hair, it came out GORGEOUS! I've gotten so many compliments. I cut off a good 11+ inches and dyed my hair so I came out with a completely different look and this woman NAILED it. I will be going back to this salon and asking for "the girl", hopefully I don't get Gill this time! LOL Oh only down side, they don't take credit or debit cards so be sure you have cash with you. I'm a huge user of my debit card so this is slightly bothersome as I have to remember to stop at the bank before I go there. But it's not that big of a deal. read more

Only person i trust to do my hair here is Danielle. She is amazing. The only reason I go to this salon is because of Danielle. She gives the best haircuts and blowouts. If it wasn't for her, i wouldn't be going to this salon. Prices are very reasonable. read more

I hadn't had a good hair cut in a long time. My coworker recommended this place. She said to ask for Ruby and that its like $50. I made my appointment with Ruby. I get in there and it's teeny tiny but not crowded. The girl (Diana) who washed my hair was also the one cutting my hair. I was really nervous and confused bc i knew she wasnt Ruby. But whatever, i figured she wasnt cutting it super short, so if i didnt like it i could deal. We exchanged names and she tried making conversation. But I wasnt really in a talking mood and was nervous, so I didnt talk too much. I think she gave me the best haircut i've ever had. And it was only $35. My hair looked amazing when i walked out. The next day i got a call from them asking if i was coming in for my appointment. I guess the girl who wrote down my appointment wrote it down on the wrong day. which is why Ruby didnt cut my hair the day I went. But it all worked out, and I was really happy with everything. read more

Went in for color correction. They knew exactly what to do just by looking at my hair. The guy, and I forget his name-- I think it's Yuri but I'm not sure. Was nice and helpful and made me feel like my hair would be saved without falling out !! Bleach blonde issue Cons: a bit pricey. And they only take Cash or check which I find odd especially these days. Debit Cards are basically cash. Plus it's hard to park and you have to use the muni meters. read more

I've come here several times & I will never go anywhere else! I usually get my hair cut by Gary, today Ruby cut my hair. I have also brought my 7 year old daughter here. Today, I walked in there having dyed my hair by myself & it was 5 different colors & was absolutely disgusting! They squeezed me in even though they were crazy busy and I walked out of there with my hair in 1 beautiful shade of brown and the exact cut I wanted. Best of all, they are cheaper than any place in Great Neck! It's $35 & up for a wash, cut, blow & flat iron!!! Step 2 doors down to one of the other salons & pay at least $60 & up! If you're looking for an amazing, gorgeous cut at the best price in Great Neck you definitely need to go there, I swear you will love it! read more

I made an appointment here for the first time, and I had hoped to get some time with Ruby, the owner and head stylist. He wasn't available, but the woman on the phone assured me that Diana was very good. So I went anyway, feeling brave. I was consumed with anxiety, having been the victim of far too many lame haircuts and bad dye jobs. I hadn't colored or highlighted my hair since the 1st Bush administration, but I had really been wanting to up the oomph factor on my tresses for quite some time. Diana quietly and expertly foiled my hair, and when it was over, I couldn't really tell how it was going to look. After a wash, she got to the cutting. Every time she snipped a 4-5 inch layer of my hair, I closed my eyes and silently repeated the mantra "It's just hair. It will grow back." When she was finished snipping, I prepared myself for the worst. But as she blew out my hair, something amazing happened-- both the color and the cut sprung to life. After the last spritz of hair spray, my hair looked AWESOME. Today, it seems my burst of bravery has paid off. If only I was always so fortunate! read more

Got my hair cut by Ruby, I am very picky about who touches my hair and how they style it. However, when I came here they took me promptly on time and did a very good job cutting my hair giving me the look/ length I wanted. I loved the finished look and how they blew my hair out with curls. Very affordable pricing and good quality of service, I will be back! read more

Salon Ruby Rubin - Hair Salons Near Me - Great Neck, New York

See all

Ruby and his stylists are pros. He is the consumate Salon owner and every visit I make, I receive a great cut. His clientele is mostly women but the high end Salon has male clients like myself that always get a relaxing shampoo and sharp haircut. Always open to feedback, Ruby has a great sense of style before, during and after your haircut. The location is superb and the salon is very comfortable. Worth a an appointment! read more

The best salon in all of Great Neck. Ruby is a master colorist, but all the stylists are very talented. I have been coming here for about 6 years think all the stylists have done my blow outs. So if someone is busy, you can take whoever is available and have a great result. I had up-dos done here for weddings. I went from blond highlights back to red and never got more compliments on my hair. I do keratin (organic) and organic hair color. The prices are reasonable!! What more can you want from a GN salon? My husband is a client as well and comes in for man-tints to naturally blend the grey. He looks years younger after a visit. This is truly a family business, where the customers are all family. You have to love Ruby's mother. Sonia is a true ballaboutseh. read more

As a man with semi- ish long hair , Ruby is the only place i trust to cut my hair. $20 for a hair cut. The staff are friendly but the place is very hectic and busy (not that it affects me).. most of the staff speak russian and tend to shout at each other in Russian.. I wouldnt recommend the place if you are looking to relax but these guys know how to cut mens hair ( even though 99% of their clients are women). If you are a man that doesnt have a buzz I highly recommend this place. read more

I love this salon so much. They have the best hair stylists that are professional. My favorite stylists to use are Eli and Moshe. Ask for them when you go. They will treat you like royalty for hair cuts, hair color, blow dry and more. Trust me. You will thank me later. read more

Salon Ruby is one of the best places for hair. I've gotten several haircuts here with Ellie Yousef and he never disappoints. Great for color, blow dry and keratin as well. read more

Highly recommend Ruby and his staff! I have been coming here for 10+ years for beautiful highlights, color and cuts. I always receive compliments on the street for my color. A wonderful salon that and always makes time for their customers. read more

HORRIFIC AND HORRENDOUS PERIOD! Comparable to hair salons in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and other oppressive underdeveloped countries that lack modern day values and social/emotional intelligence. This place is a complete nightmare and should be avoided at all costs. Backwards caveman-like behavior from every staff member. Shouting, attitude, blunt rude comments to mention a few are what you'll experience here. Let alone getting your hair done. That is a completely different story. After being berated by every staff member, from the secretary to the individual who washes your hair, and then the "stylist," is an experience of greater cost to you than the monetary value you anticipated saving by choosing to go to this "salon." I mention that in quotes because not only do people not know how to do hair (it ends up looking ridiculous, and did both times I attempted to give this place a shot), but also because several of the "stylists" do not even speak a word of English, and I mean this literally. There is only one license on display on the wall, and I wouldn't be surprised if the owner is the only licensed hair stylist in this "salon." I am not a complainer at all, but felt behooved to rate this place to save all of you time and aggravation. I created a yelp account just for this particular place to warn all! You can have a beautiful job done for a modest price elsewhere. read more

AVOID AT ALL COSTS! If I could give this place zero stars, I would. I came here on a weekend (early morning) for two things: a blowout and a sleek, sexy ponytail. My sister needed her hair done too, and she wanted a blowout. The stylist had absolutely no idea what she was doing. I told her I wanted a ponytail and she couldn't even manage that. She tried a few things, but kept saying, "This won't work. That won't work." Then she tried to do a simple braid across the front that would sweep into that half-up/half-down look - complete failure. Rather than doing the french braid into the hair, she just did a free standing braid that dangled from my forehead and tried to pin it. Did not work. Finally, she took a clip out of her own hair and told me that I should just pin it myself. In the end, I left with a terrible blowout and I wound up having my sister do my hair later that day...in a ponytail. As for my sister, her stylist completely damaged her hair with what should have been simple blowout. He pulled and teased and it came out looking incredibly frizzy due to the breakage he caused. The cherry on top was the rudeness we experienced at the checkout counter. There was no, "How did you find everything?" or "Are you happy with your hair?" No. Just, "Cash only. Or check" Cash only?! Checks?! Are you serious? The attitude from the front desk lady put me over the edge. An absolutely miserable person who couldn't even muster a smile or ask how my experience was - unacceptable. I rarely Yelp, and when I do it is only because I've had a wonderful experience or a positively HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE. This experience falls into the latter category and I choose to share it with you all so that you do not repeat my mistake or patronize a place that mistreats its clients and can't even manage a ponytail or a proper blowout. Go next door to Fierce! read more

Salon ruby is the best. I'm always on the go and can never schedule an appointment and they always squeeze me in and do a great job and get me out on time to run the rest of my errands or pick up my kids. Highly recommend read more

Beware! The establishment is unreliable at best with incompetent employees. Made an appointment for my friend and I, a month in advance, for a special occasion on Sunday April 5th, came in 10 minutes before our appointment time and was unceremoniously informed that they....changed our appointment arbitrarily, without notifying us! not only the stylist we specifically asked for was not even there, nor did they find it important to notify us with a courtesy phone call! Never going there again, should have known better when I tried to confirm our appointment a week earlier and our names could not be found, they brushed the issue off and told us not to worry! Yeah right... Thank God a place in Port had availability and the stylists there did our hair beautifully. read more

I got my hair keratin straightened and since I spent so much money on the treatment, I left a $10 tip. I got chased after because i didn't tip enough. That's ridiculous. I'm a waitress and sometimes I don't get tipped even on a bill of $100. It's the customers choice on how much they want to tip and if they even want to leave a tip. Let's see if this treatment is even worth the money. read more

My go-to stylist is always Tamir he gives amazing haircuts and the most beautiful blow outs/colors. He always ensures that I leave the salon feeling beautiful. I highly recommend this salon based on the service they give. I recommend Tamir if your looking for an amazing stylist. read more

As you can probably tell from the other reviews, Salon Ruby is hit or miss. Sometimes you get a great haircut at a reasonable price, other times you leave wishing you never walked in. I've even gotten good and bad haircut from the same people - just varying with the day. read more

Just the best! I have been coming here for the past 5 years and always have a great experience. Ruby and his staff give amazing cuts and awesome blowouts. Now my husband gets his hair cut by Ruby as well. We love the salon and won't go anywhere else. read more

I've been getting my hair colored here for a year, regularly and have found their services well priced and they've done the best color job I've had; not too dark which usually results with gray roots. More important, I tried having a keratin treatment here last week, after traveling to Flushing for years. Come to Salon Ruby and ask for LIZ. She is fabulous. It was cheaper than going to Flushing and my hair looks and feels fantastic. I highly recommend. read more

I have been going to this salon for more than two years. The salon is clean and friendly. Ruby is a real professional, he is an expert colorist. I am always happy with my color. read more

This is a wonderful salon. Been using this salon for about seven years. On Tuesday, I had to park a little distance from the salon, it was snowing and very cold. I have asthma, and when Ruby heard that and that my car was around the block, he insisted on going to get my car and heat it up for me. He is an angel! That is the kind of people they are, and everyone does a very professional job. Don't hesitate to use them. read more

I had heard of Ruby's in conversations with my friends so I decided to try it for myself . The front desk greeted me and was very welcoming. Eli washed my hair and it was the BEST wash I have ever had! Laura did my hair - i told that I wanted a fancy blowout with curls at the bottom. She did a fantastic job and the blowout last me all night at a party and the next day too! I was quite impressed! read more

Absolutely disgusting!! My hair was already blow dried and flat ironed, but it wasn't done well. I walk into this place, and the lady told me they had time for me without an appointment. Soon after I started, the lady started screaming at me saying that she didn't have time for me because I didn't have an appointment. Then, these people wanted to charge me $45 just for going over my already done hair with a flat iron for 5 minutes!! These people are terrible!! They are thieves and liars!! Never again!! read more
