Little bit of advice....some of the best and hard working talent around can be found in the smaller places...as is in this case- I decided to try out a groupon for Hairvana on a hunch today as I am still on my quest for a place closer to home other than my orginal favorite up in northport. I have to say, Upon meeting Roy madr, the new owner I was immediately so comfortable. This is a new location and he is a doll- he understands what a woman needs and seems to be one of the least judgmental stylists I have met. The staff treat each other with respect and kindness. I can tell Roy sees this small staff as his family and vice versa. What a lovely unexpected chance to relax. No uncomfortable cold stares, no chaos (yet)---This is relatively new and a work in progress and little by little he is making changes amidst taking excellent care of every person who walks through the door. My high lights look amazing and I have to say Id rather give my hard earned money towards the future of this small special place and owner than almost anywhere I have been too. Great job Roy, don't stop being yourself because you are what makes your place shine...

I just decided to go to my usual ""Christopher Street Salon"" in Dix Hills and they did a superb job BRAVO !!! Glad I returned the Groupon as Roy had instructed, since for two hours my hairstylist there received an appreciative $20 tip ;)) She blew out my hair after a very technical cut and I got so many compliments at work! I feel if you rush a client they won't feel great so very glad I didn't bother with this overly rated place

My stylist was Tricia and her twin sister Lisa did my hair one time when Tricia got sick and they both are weave queens! They are among best and will have your weave looking like it's your own hair because they cut so low with the razor (which allows the weave to look as natural as possible). I would get so many compliments when I'd go here. I wouldn't suggest going here if your aren't trying to get a weave because it's pretty much just a weave bar. I was a customer there since 2006 and I never saw anyone getting anything other than a weave (and trust me the place is ALWAYS packed...especially on weekends). Their work is so amazing that I wanted to give 5 stars but I just couldn't because they need to do a little better with their customers/customer service. They need some type of sign in sheet or something because there were a couple times that I went there on a Saturday morning, arrived at around 6:30am (to guarantee I'd be first) and others would come soon after. By the time the female who braids your hair arrived people would try to act as if they don't know what place in line they are and lie that they were there before others. Then the stylist would come (finally) and would ask me who came after me! If I knew I'd tell her (and people would get mad) but if I didn't oh well. Also sometimes the female who does the braiding (Shelly) would have an attitude with me for no reason at all.

I wanted a local shop for highlights, I spent a lot of money on a full set of high lights, toner, and a hair cut. I was apprehensive made a consultation to show the stylist exactly what I wanted I had pictures etc and expected and unfortunately I was not listened to I had wanted an Ash or silver to my blonde. And left more gold. $360 and I went home extremely upset. My daughter had her own appointment for her highlights, hers came out better but for a $710. Mother daughter Teenager set of highlights in 2 days, We both felt it was just okay. and have not returned I was definitely disappointed with my hair. I had a lot of darker pieces put in from my previous hi lights Highs and lows and said I wanted to keep that instead the stylist washed me out. I would Not recommend this shop.

After reading about/hearing about Dominican style blowouts or wash and sets everywhere, I started…read morelooking around where I live. I went to Amada Friday and OMG, believe the hype. I asked for a wash and roller set and the stylist spent about 30-45 minutes just deep cleaning my hair- I have extensions, so this is a big important part for me as a client. Without extensions, I suspect it might be less time, but not much. Product smelled amazing. About 15 minutes involved deep conditioning and detangling. My hair smelled SO GOOD. The stylist then managed to get my waist length hair into rollers- not an easy feat- perfectly and without any slippage. Then she netted it up and I went under the dryer for a while. I do not know how or why this effect is only achieved at Dominican salons, but my hair was evenly coated with some shiny substance that is neither greasy nor heavy. It's late Sunday night, and it's as picture perfect as if I hadn't sweated all day steam mopping and cleaning. I expect it to last the week. I love blowouts, and I love my regular stylist at my regular salon. However, these wash and set results are long-lasting, deep-cleaned PERFECTION. My hair is like silk and every strand is in place. Sleeping, sweating, driving with the window open- nothing has penetrated the layer of magic on my head. I have an event Wednesday night and I can't wait to go back. It is just SO GOOD. The cost for me was on par with salon prices for blowouts without extensions. With extensions salons charge more, so I suspect this salon is slightly lower than average for magical humidity proof glasslike shiny hair. Holy Hair Grail.

I had an event for a wedding in the evening and when I told her I did not want anything too heavy with hair spray: she made sure my hair looked voluminous and not too product heavy (my pet peeve).
