This review is for Simi Nail Salon, went for a pedicure 2 weeks ago and still have cuts on my foot. I was getting a callus remover and the girl grated my one foot like she was grating cheese. Only when I said you are hurting me she stopped. I should have left at that point. I should have known not to go in because there is never anyone in the place. I had gone here once before about a year ago and they were horrible then. I should have trusted my instinct by not going back. read more

I gotta a nice haircut for a great price. Couldn't be happier! Hasina was very nice! I would see her again and I do recommend this place.

Threading and wax was painless and efficient. Hasina was great - calm yet thorough. Clean place. Extremely fair pricing. Location has a parking lot and it is a convenient location. Reward point system too. Definitely recommend. read more

If I could give 0 stars I would. I felt rushed through the service and I left upset with how bad my eyebrows came out. Never again!

I was looking for electrolysis services. Funny thing there's a website that was inaccessible. Should have been my first clue. She talked me into laser. My face immediately formed bumps and the treated area tingled for at least 6 hours afterward. The next day, I had massive cysts on my face. read more

I have been to Simi's several times over the past months but was unable to review them as I couldn't locate on yelp. I went so far as to review them on Li's restaurant's page instead of just adding them. Sometimes I kill myself with my special brand of lazy. Simi is located in Emerson Plaza next door to Li's Chinese and across from Val Brook Diner. She recently renovated with shades of burgundy, giving it a more grown feel and it's more spacious. If you don't have an appointment and you're in the area between 10am-2pm on a weekday, that's a fantastic time to drop in. I've gotten a hair snip (not cut) from the hairstylist that shares this space. It was good. I've noticed the care she takes with her other clients as well and it's always loving attention to detail. She has a good rapport with them. As for Simi? Simi is a wonderful person. Soft spoken, kind and she took wonderful care of my brows. The guys like Simi too because quite a few of them have their brows "cleaned" here. The reason I stopped coming is simply because she trained a new eyebrow technician, (saw her in training many times myself) and try as I did, whenever I went for a thread I would always get the new lady. Mind you, the trainee isn't bad, but with my eyebrows and nails I'm very particular and when I find a tech I like, I don't want to be passed around. Simi also does makeup and I've never had mine done here, but I've seen ladies walk out looking and obviously feeling pretty good. Oh yeah I recommend you try eyebrow threading from SIMI. The End. read more

This was not only the worst in terms of outcome but also the worst in terms of treatment/experience I've perhaps ever had at a salon. I feel like I'm giving it too much credit by calling it a salon. It's basically a threading place that decided to start doing hair & laser hair removal. To start, the place is totally shabby. I'm no snob, if the services had been great well then, shabby would be fine. I should have been more aware of how few hair colors they carried & the fact that my stylist asked the owner before every step & appeared to have no working knowledge about dying hair nor cutting hair but we'll get to that. When they picked out the color, I agreed it was a match. However when they took the 30% volume developer out of the cabinet, my gut said to say "No, use 20%." But I actually talked myself out of it because I thought "She's a professional & you've never worked with this brand of color." I regret thinking that now. I've now got roots 2 SHADES LIGHTER than the rest of my head! At first the owner agreed & asked me to come back Tuesday (this was Saturday) because, and I quote "We close at 7." Really? Even when your client looks like a skunk? The haircut was absolutely pathetic. I originally wanted about 2" off my ends (my hair is very long, one length all around), but when she showed me her perception of 2" I just said yes knowing I would need to get a 2nd haircut somewhere else. Her 2" was about 1/3". She didn't even comb the front of my hair forward to cut it, she combed it to the sides. Then it was time to pay. We had agreed in advance on the Groupon price, which I get 25% off of because I pay for Groupon Select. I told the owner I would pay for the cut & dry but not the color. SHE FLIPPED OUT! She starts yelling at me that "my type" wants everything for free & that she knew from the second I walked in I was "like this" (meaning wanting to cheat her). So she said, hysterically screaming at this point "We don't want your money! Just leave!" I then tried to tip the stylist $20 & the owner stopped me & said "No. We don't want your money." I thought to myself "Good because now I've got to pay someone else to fix this mess!" It was horrendous. I have NO idea how they have so many positive reviews. I swear that everything I've said here is 100% true. There are so many better places to go (like all of them). read more

I decided to do highlights and let the professional do what she recommended for blonde highlights. I absolutely love it, Tania (hope I spelled it right) did a fantastic job. It's my 2nd time at Simi's and both times I've been very happy with Tania's work. read more

Worst electrolysis. Do not go here. He either doesn't know what he's doing, or purposefully does a bad job so that hair growth accelerates so you think you need to keep going back. All he did was pluck hairs that weren't treated. After a few months there was more hair than what I started with. read more

Simi is great but the person who works for her isnt. She literally burnt my scalp while blow drying despite warning her several times. I would not go here again. read more

I went to Simi to get a haircut, Tania who cuts the hair seems very confident in cutting and destroying the hair. I showed her a pic of bob haircut and she said she is VERY professional at doing that cut in particular. She told her sister to wash my hair, her sister doesn't speak a word of English so she couldn't understand when I was telling her my back started to hurt the way she had me sitting down at the hair sink. Tania's sister didn't wash my hair properly from the back, they weren't even wet. Then Tania saw the picture of Bob haircut I had shown her in the beginning. She cuts my hair so unevenly and destroys my hair. When Simi the lady who owns the store saw it, looked surprised. she couldn't say a word. Simi is very gentle and knows what she's doing she's great at doing eyebrows and facials , but she has a bad hair dresser. I regret going to TANIA at Simi Beauty Salon. Girls please always go to YOUR hairdresser never go to anyone new. I regret every bit of it. My hair don't grow fast as well. So I messed up. read more

Review for hair services: Thelma is amazing! I happened to come across their Groupon two years ago and have been going to them ever since! My entire family has switched over to Thelma because of how great she cuts and blow dries hair. Only downside is because she is one person sometimes there can be a long wait. Other than that I highly recommend her! She is very sweet as well. read more

CHOP SHOP ! This was the worst experience of my life. The lady, whatever her name is, who did my eyebrows was extremely rude and kept tapping my head every time she wanted me to hold them for her to thread as if she doesn't have a mouth to tell me to hold. The she kept threading and cutting on my left eyebrow excessively. Come to find out when I look in the mirror, the corner of my left eyebrow is pretty much gone. Extremely arched and very thin. And when I pointed out the thinness of the left eyebrow she said it was already thin when my eyebrows are on my face every single day of my life I know for a fact my left eyebrow was not already "thin" for it too look like that. And even if it was, how come my right eyebrow looks fine ? Why not match it ? And it didn't matter what I said her excuse was "it was already thin. If I could give this place 0 stars I would. I now have to walk around worrying about if my eyebrows are still filled in with pencil. Do not go here. Chop shop at its finest. read more

Simi Beauty Salon - My skin and eyebrows after my facial and getting my eyebrows threaded - Hair Salons Near Me - Valley Stream, New York

I have been going to Simi for about three years. One of the best, accommodating, affordable, professional, friendly beauty salons I have been to. I have gotten multiple complements on my eye brows. I have been to other places for electrolysis and laser, they are extremely overpriced and it didn't work. Once I started going to Simi, I was able to afford more sessions and it actually worked! If you're in the Nassau area, I recommend trying them. Couldn't be happier. Thank you. read more

Simi does great eyebrows and I would only go to her and not the other girls at the salon. They aren't as good. My eyebrows always look perfect when Simi does it. They also have an electronic points system which is convenient. No having to remember to bring your card/get a punch for each visit. The shop is always clean and usually not a long wait to see Simi. I usually call 10 mins before I plan on coming to make sure she's available. There is also a huge lot to park in and I've never had a problem finding parking which is great since it's on Merrick rd. She provides other services but I only come here for threading. read more

I have been using Simi for my eyebrows for over 3 years , it's always been my favorite spot. Simi is the best at them , and the other women have gotten better and better. Unfortunately I will not be using them again. This is because in May I needed to get my hair cut and colored after growing it out for 2 years . My first thought was let me support a small business and go to Simi. My husband got me a gift card for Mother's Day and I went in. I showed the woman a picture of what I wanted and she said she could do it. The day of my appointment she said She might not be able to get the color but she will try ( 1st red flag). The style was a baylage. She began bleaching my hair and I noticed it was was not the same as when I have gotten a baylage elsewhere. Fast forward, my hair came out nothing like I had wanted even though during the process she said she could get the color not to worry. My roots were supposed to be dark brown almost black with a grey baylage . It came out some ugly blonde with a few grey highlights here and there, like an old blonde woman going grey. Nevermind my appointment started at 10:30 and I didn't leave until 4:30. I basically paid a professional price for something I could have done home In the bathroom. I came back an hour later saying It was not what I was wanted and it needed to be fixed. The whole time the hair dresser and owner were trying to change my mind , now Suddenly it was an ombré etc etc. I said I would settle for blond highlights but no... I came back a few days later and she put a darker toner over to make it brown and darken my roots. Again nothing like I wanted. Not even a month later the color washed out and my hair is a gross brassy color and so damaged. I went back and forth about Leaving this review but the damage done to my hair is inexcusable. After 2 years of growing it out before this I am sick over it. I will not return to this place. 3 stars for my eyebrows . read more

My mom & I have known Simi for years. We have seen the business grow & do nothing but improve over the years from when she first opened her shop. Simi always makes time for my busy schedule, gives me the exact shape I'm looking for, & does my eyebrows with a look of care & precision every single time. I have had TONS of family members & friends compliment me on my eyebrows after visiting Simi. I would highly recommend you go to her if you haven't yet. You will not be disappointed, and she will quickly become your new eyebrow lady/beautician ;) read more

I'm visiting from Atl and I was looking for a place to do my eyebrows and I found here that was close by. I looked up the reviews and decided to give it a try because I'm very picky with my eyebrows. I am very happy with my results that I decided to also do a facial. Omg I am amAzed how much my face looked after. Simi is so nice and sweet. She is hardworking and helped me a lot to tell me what is good for my face and what she recommends for my skin type. I love it here! Would be my go to place every time I visit! I highly recommend and will be telling all my friends and family in valley stream. They normally go to queens but don't need to anymore when they have a awesome person right here! Thank you so much simi read more

This is my trusted eyebrow place! Simi (the owner) is a doll and does an excellent job. Everyone here is very nice, all smiles when you come in. I come specifically for threading but i always see people getting their hair and makeup done.. bridal parties especially, and from what ive seen they do a great job. Simi is very informative with all things beauty, she answers all my skin questions, eyebrow questions and helps me, all while im in her chai4Ive had my brows done by another lady, i didnt catch her name but she also did an excellent job. I highly recommend this place, i came from another salon that thinned my eyebrows too much and simi fixed them and gave me advice to grow them out. 10/10 recommend. They also have a rewards program that result in a free threading after a certain number of visits. I will continue to go to simi for as long as i have eyebrows! read more

I have been using Simi Salon for about a year now....I started with Laser hair removal and now I use this salon for everything!! The woman that work here are beyond talented and incredibly kind. I have NEVER been happier at a salon!!! My hair, thanks to Thania, is beautiful and thanks to Simi my skin has never looked or felt better. I love going to this salon!! Its fun and I always come out looking amazing!!!!!!! read more

I love this place. I've been getting my eyebrows done by Simi for about two years now and she's perfect. She knows what she's doing. I originally came in with really messed up eyebrows and now they're exactly how I want them. I won't go anywhere else! read more

I had a regular eyebrow place. I liked it alot until one day they ruined my eyebrows, the girl made them both look completely different and thinned out my eyebrows so much. Knowing simi, I went to her salon almost in tears and asked if she could fix it. Simi not only fixed it but also helped me grow out my eyebrows. I'm so happy with her work, she never fails to make me happy! She does great eyebrows, take the chance :) Also Daisy is amazing as well. She does hair and she's been doing my hair for years. She even dyed my hair recently to purple ombre and I'm in love. I would recommend this salon to anyone! :) read more

Firstly I must say, Simi is great at what she does... She is truly skilled. BUT she is not a business woman. I have been her customer for several years. I had dropped in several times for eyebrows within the week, I tried weekdays weekends, daytime and after work. She was always too busy to see me, closing, or had a +30 minute wait for eyebrows. Ru kidding me?! I sat down thinking she would stop a makeup application to quickly clean my brows but found I waited 15 minutes already and asked how long and she said 45+ minutes! I left and won't be back... read more

Simi has been doing my eyebrows for years. She makes them look neater while still having them look natural. She always takes her time. She is gentle so your skin is not left irritated She does great wedding makeup and mehndi. She's willing to work with larger groups. I cannot recommend Simi enough! read more

This is my go to place when it comes to eyebrows threading. The owner Simi does a great job with eyebrows. HOWEVER I went here for a haircut a few days ago because the salon that I usually go to was all booked up. I used a Groupon deal for a haircut, blow dryer and deep conditioning. It was honestly a HORRIBLE experience. I am not sure if it had to do with the fact that I used a groupon deal. When I presented the deal, I was told that you will have to pay EXTRA for the blow dryer since my hair length was longer which I was fine with (but this was not mentioned in the deal!). First for the shampoo and wash, the woman used COLD water to wash out my hair. I had to tell her to adjust the water temperature. Than she was so harsh with washing my hair, I had to literally tell her to stop and to go easy on my hair! All this + she got my back and sweater from the back all wet. The whole time I was sitting in that chair, my neck and my back were killing me because I was so uncomfortable and could not wait for her to get over with the wash. Than for the haircut, oh MY!! My hair cut came out so choppy and just NOT a flattering look. I have to go back to my regular salon to have my haircut fixed. read more

Love this place. Love. My mother personally know the owner. From working out of her home to this great store, I love coming to Simi! I refuse to let anyone but her touch my eyebrows, and trust me when I say, you will be glad if you do the same. A very apt beautician who knows what she's doing. Highly recommend!!! read more

I've been going to Simi for my eyebrows for years even before she opened up her own salon. She is extremely nice and friendly and always greets my sister and I with a smile everytime we come in. Simi's salon is the only place we go to get them done. She does a great job and I would highly recommend her! read more

So I got a Groupon to do electrolysis with this salon. The Groupon was good for two visits. The first visit was great. The guy doing the electrolysis did his best to make me feel comfortable and calmed my nerves because I was nervous of the pain. I was very satisfied with my first session. On my second visit I called from my job phone around 1030/1100 am to schedule and appointment for electrolysis at 430 pm. I CLEARLY said electrolysis. I left work a little passed 3 and arrived a little passed 4. I walked in hoping the guy was there so I could be seen early. The lady informs me that he left for the day and will not be coming back. She said she tried to call me but the number I called from was my job phone to ask me if I can come earlier. This infuriated me because I left around 3 o'clock. If you're going to ask someone to come early to their appointment why wouldn't you have called sooner? Then she proceeded to tell me that the lady who answered the phone didn't know what I was coming for and that she wrote down laser. So what I don't understand is, if you had the impression that I was coming for laser (which she said she can perform) then why were you trying to call me and tell me to come early. So that was clearly a lie. So not only did I waste a hour of driving to not get the service wanted. She did not apologize and told me that I needed to reschedule. She never offered a discount or acted in a way that it was a mistake on their behalf. I was so annoyed I just walked out. Honestly I just felt that was bad business and I get it was a misunderstanding but I drove one whole hour to not even receive an apology. Smh. Three stars because the guy was awesome but terrible customer service! read more

This place is awesome! Super clean and organized. Everything posted so the customer knows exactly what to expect and the prices. I get laser hair removal here. It's quick, inexpensive compared to most places and very professional! read more

Just got my eyebrows done here , she did a great job, exactly what i wanted after growing them out for so long, and only $5!!!!! Cant beat it read more

Simi is an amazing hair stylist, make up artist, and person. I am a loyal customer and she has always shown the upmost respect and understanding for her customers, her salon is located in valley stream and is open convenient hours. I really love this place, Simi is dedicated and good at what she does. :) read more

BEST SALON IN THE AREA!! Where do I start? I have been going to this salon ever since it opened... initially for eyebrows, then for hair styling (cut, root touch ups, highlights, etc), now i am doing the laser hair removal process too. The service is fabulous!! There are salons where you walk in and they all look at you from head to toe... I don't know why, and i am referring to the high end ones as well as the small ones, but Simi's (owner) welcome is very warm and pleasant. She takes her work seriously, if there is an issue she will handle it and resolve it. She wants to make sure ALL of her customers leave happy. And, I have seen her handle the obnoxious ones, the ones that nothing makes them happy. Simi is great, but she is not a mind reader, if you don't tell her why you are not satisfied with the service, she will not know. You need to tell her, and give her the chance to fix it. Anyway, you won't regret going to Simi's! read more

First time here the other day, let me just say that Simi is the best! She also is the owner. She is super sweet and nice. I'm very picky with people doing my eyebrows but she seemed to know her stuff and especially after reading these reviews I had to give it a try and I'm so happy with the results. She asked me how I liked my eyebrows and I was shocked never had been asked that so off the bat she was a favorite already. One eyebrow has always been more round toward the front and she fixed it! Loved the way my eyebrows came out I will definitely be back for more :) read more
