They really take their time with your hair and focus on keeping it healthy, not just making it look good for the day. You can tell they truly care about their clients. Their salon even reflects their faith with their "In God We Trust" message, which I appreciate. The salon is clean, conveniently located in Elmont, and they're very accommodating. Their prices are a little higher than some other Dominican salons in the area, but in my opinion, it's worth paying a little extra for the care, professionalism, and quality of service you receive. If you're looking for a salon that treats your hair with care and makes you feel welcome every visit, I definitely recommend Dominican Sisters Beauty Salon.

I could give ZERO stars, I would. I've been coming here for months, loyal to the SAME stylist, and…read morethe quality has been consistently disappointing--but the PRICES? Always going up for absolutely no reason. Let's be very clear: they do the BARE MINIMUM and charge like it's luxury service. I came in with my clip-ins already washed, brought my own shampoo and conditioner, and didn't even get a braid down... yet somehow I'm being charged over $100 EVERY time. The last visit was the final straw AFTER i handed her a tip off of courtesy $170 for WHAT exactly? No curls, no style, nothing special. Just vibes and audacity. And the excuse? My clip-ins were "damp." Mind you, she literally used MY rubber bands to install them. No professionalism, no consistency, just random upcharges pulled out of thin air. ' There are NO posted prices, which should've been my first red flag. They make up numbers as they go and tack on mystery fees for doing next to nothing. It honestly feels like a scam at this point. Save your money and your time. There are way too many talented, honest stylists out here to be dealing with this kind of nonsense - NEVER AGAIN ! they say that they are god fearing but their prices and efforts are from HELL!

Had the same exact experience as other yelpers. Please save your money and hair and do not go here!…read more I'm new to the area and really wanted this to be my go to salon. All I asked for was a touch up on my highlights. Just to lighten and bring them up a little bit. . Although everyone was really nice and the salon is beautiful I walked out over $250 later with orange, chunky, uneven, patchy, crazy insane hair. I had 2 huge chunks in the front that were totally different sizes. My hair looked white green purple and yellow all in one. I did not see how bad it was until I got in my car and was in the sunlight. Email with pictures, unreturned phone calls, and numerous trips back in led them to tell me they could correct it and it would be $185. What?? Obviously I wouldn't let anyone in there touch my hair again with this type of customer service. I kept my hair up in a ponytail for over a month until I went to a different salon down the block that charged me less and could not believe what a disaster my hair was. They also correct numerous clients that have gone to this salon first. It will take me at least 3 sessions to get back to where I was. Scary embarrassing pictures attached.

Really wanted to like this place but I can't say I do. The person who did my hair was very nice but…read morethe blow out was so bad. I asked for a simple blow out with curls. She used a straightener to do it (which I know is sometimes done) but it left these huge kinks in my hair. I pointed it out and she started to brush out the curls but it just made it look messier. The one kink was right up top next to my face and I kept pushing it down and then asked her to straighten it. She did but only one section. I figured I would just fix the rest when I got home because I didn't want to be naggy. She never showed me the back but I just got home and it's so bad. It's just a big mess. On top of that, I've gotten three blowouts in the last two weeks and this place was the most expensive. They just opened up and I wanted to give them the business. There are coupons on the front desk for 20% off but it's only good for one day in the future. Not only are they expensive, but they also charge an additional fee for using a credit card. I definitely will not be going back.

Everyone is very friendly and treat us like they see us weekly. This trip we were all having blow outs. Laurie did my daughter's hair and asked her what she wanted. My 7 year old was very excited to be involved in the decision making process. Laurie asked if she wanted cute curls or flips. My daughter asked for curls. You could see the excitement as each curl was done. At the end, my daughter's hair looked amazing for our event. My hair was a challenge. Due to some medication, my hair (which was already fine) is rather thin. Laurie worked on making my hair look fuller and I received a lot of compliments. She suggested some ways to make it look a bit fuller for my next hair cut. The salon is very welcoming. They have a cute little table to sit at as you wait for color to be done or just for your appointment. They had fresh bagels (oh how I was excited since good bagels in Florida are non existent!). I noticed the reviews talked about gossiping...ummm hello this is a hair salon! That's what they all do! Have you not seen Steel Magnolia? The only salon I have ever been to that isn't "gossipy" are chains like hair cuttery. Salon V will continue to be my go to salon home away from home.

I went to this salon for quite awhile…read more.. Sabrina was my hair stylist and she did an out standing job on my hair each time. I mean she was great at cutting ,perming, sewing, you name it she was great at it! The problem with Sabrina is that she is unreliable, a bit confrontational, and she is the slowest working stylist that my friends and I have ever come across. Sabrina takes years to do your hair, she is never on time for appointments and if you are lucky enough that she is already at the salon for your appointment, be prepared for your whole day to be taken up with her talking on the phone, texting ,eating, taking her sweet time to finish your hair. I mean she really works slow, and this is from years of experience, and I know about 10 people that once went to Sabrina but all of them stopped because she lacked professionalism. In addition to that she chooses to go up and down on prices whenever she pleases. One week you could pay $85 and the next week you will pay $100 , for the exact hair style, and she just decides it whenever she pleases. Sabrina is a great stylist and I would never take that away from her but she is not worth the money and time being that there are a million other great stylist in that salon and in new york that don't take forever to do your hair and won't go up and down on prices just because they feel like it. You can not rely on Sabrina if you have made an appointment with her or if you are a walk in, and when confronting her on any issue she gets defensive and instead of accomadating she does not care. Pros: Great Stylist Cons: Unreliable, Confrontational, Random price changes, Slowest stylist you will ever come across Tip: If you do decide to go to this place, go to one of the other ladies to do your hair, and if you do decide to go to Sabrina make sure you have cab fair because by the time you get out of the salon, public transportation will have already stopped running properly...in other words don't go to sabrina.

So last week I walked into this hair salon because I was too lazy to wash my own hair. Also this…read moreplace happens to be around the corner from where I live, so I took a chance and went in. Upon walking in, I was warmly greeted by one of the hairdressers named Carmen. I was a little unsure about this place, because it was completely empty on a Saturday morning, which is unheard of for me. Anyway, I asked for a wash/set and deep condition, which all came out to $25.00. While tending to my hair, Carmen was aslo able to provide me with an analysis of my hair. She made recommendations that would help in getting my hair back to a more healthier state. From what she was telling me, I knew that she was knowledgeable about hair, because my dermatologist had also made the same recommendations to me. I went back this past Saturday to get a touch up. Now, I don't trust a lot of people with my hair, especially when it comes to my touch ups. But because of my past experience here, I decided to take a chance. Well, my scalp did not burn at all and my hair came out looking shinny and healthy. What I also appreciated is that during the whole process, I was being told every product that was being put in my hair and the reason why I needed it. With my touch up, deep treatment and trim, everything came out to $75. That may seem a little steep, but the products that they use at the salon are top notch. Fina's is definitely my new go to salon. The people are nice and they seem to actually care about the health of your hair.
