I booked for a trial hair and makeup for my wedding. Not only was Ariannys amazing at understanding who I was and my hair....she did a beautiful job at making ny hair look the best it ever has. Donna who did my makeup and owns the business is a true artist. My makeup came out so good! Donna is a beautiful human with great energy. I can't wait for her to do my makeup on my wedding day! I highly recommend this business! read more

I have been going to Salon for a number of years Heather has been doing my color and she is absolutely fantastic and then I have Joanne do my cut in style and I've been with her for many years even at another salon and she came over to the salon so I went with her. I can't say enough about them and everyone else on the on the premises even the shampoo people are fantastic and very caring and very accommodating definitely suggest using their services. read more

I had a few recommendations to come here to get my hair done. I'm so glad that I did! Upon walking in I was greeted instantly. I was a little early for my appointment, but they took me anyway and didn't have me wait. I was offered coffee, tea or water. Very friendly! Shalyn did my color! Absolutely fantastic! She listened to me to find out exactly what I wanted! Listened to my concerns and went from there. Continued to check on me while the dye was in my hair to make sure I was okay. I can't remember who cut my hair, but she did a wonderful job as well. She also listened to me and cut my hair the way I wanted it to be. I'm so satisfied with my hair and how it turned out. I wasn't pressured to do anything I didn't want to do and I wasn't pressured to purchase any products they sell in the salon. Customer service was super excellent. I'm in love with my new hair!!! Can't wait to come back in about 8 weeks for a touch-up! I'm at awe at how wonderful they treat their clients! read more

I will forever recommend this place to people! This Saturday, my son Aaron was married to my beautiful daughter in law, Amanda. They had photos taken at Argyle and the weather did a number on Amanda's hair. As we drove by, the Maid of Honor saw The Hair Studio and asked the bus driver to stop. She ran in and asked the salon if they could fix the brides hair. My son escorted his new bride in and waited for her, then walked her back out to the bus. The staff at The Studio were so kind, they even let us all use the restroom lol. Her hair looked beautiful and we carried on with an amazing day! Thank you to everyone at The Hair Studio! read more

So christen with a "C" has been cutting my hair for years and always does an amazing job so when she got a new position in an upscale salon I was excited to see what else the salon had to offer. It turns out I had one of the best experiences of my life. I was served wine and treated like family from the time I walked in the door until the time that I left. Dawn is one of the receptionists, she's extremely friendly and genuine as all get out. She was polite and courteous on the phone and super sweet in person. After seeing another patron leaving the studio with her make-up looking out of this world, I inquired about getting mine done for date night with my husband. The owner Donna did my make up and all I could say was WOW. Donna has a heart of gold and was seriously one of the kindest people I've had the pleasure of meeting. Hours later I still looked amazing at an outdoor concert. To top it all off I scheduled my three year old to have her first hair cut the fallowing day and all of the women in the salon stopped what they were doing to be involved in giving my daughter a great experience too. A three year old. I've never seen anything like it. If your looking for up-Dos, down-Dos,color treatments, hair cuts, kids cuts,blow-outs, make-up for any occasion, waxing, or a facial this is a one stop shop and every single employee is EXTREMELY talented. The quality of the work and the amazing experience made paying a little extra so worth it. THANK YOU to all of the staff at The Studio New York for the great experiences. We will be back!! read more

Shalyn did my color and Elena did my cut and style. Both were exceptional. Everyone was on time, efficient, and SO talented. The salon is modern and very clean and everyone is so nice. Their prices are well worth the amazing talent there. Plus, Babylon is such a cute town to walk around before or after your appt. I highly recommend Shalyn and Elena. You will be so happy with their work! I already booked my next appt. read more

Fantastic place! I had my make up and hair trial in December and booked for my son's wedding day in January. Elena and Donna did my hair and makeup so perfectly and exactly how I wanted! I had SO many compliments all night and felt amazing with how my hair and make up looked and both held up all night through lots of dancing, laughing and celebrating! Thank you so very much! read more

So glad I came here! Was recommended by a friend to see Shalyn. I loved my friend's hair and I looked at her Insta and was impressed. I needed a change, hadn't dyed my hair in 15 years! Decided I wanted a subtle balayage. Was nervous but Shalyn made me super comfortable and listened to what I wanted. She consulted with me and explained every step along the way. Came out amazing! I was getting compliments, even months later. Just went back for another treatment and getting even more compliments! Also, the salon is beautiful and they even give you a complimentary glass of wine Moreover, the girls at the front desk and everyone there is very friendly. Highly recommend this salon and especially Shalyn! read more

My appointment got canceled last minute at another salon and the makeup studio was able to get me in quickly for an appointment. Well.... I regret taking the appointment. I had grown out my roots for months in hopes of bringing my hair back to its natural dark dirty blonde/light ashy mousy brown color and covering the grays surrounding my face. What I ended up with??.... Well when I first sat to get my hair cut and dried- my roots were orange! I asked if they could fix it and she applied a glaze.... Still orange. So I was taken back for another color application. 3 hours later for a single process color and a glaze and my hair is red . Not natural at all. On top of that the rushed blow out (for which I was at least not charged) left my hair flat and lifeless. Despite my unhappiness with the terrible color that I could have achieved myself with a box I was charged $120. Needless to say I will never return to this salon. The pic attached was the end result as soon as I arrived home from the salon. read more

Omg! The studio perfected my wedding day- March 26 2022! Donna did my make up absolutely stunning !! Arrani did my hair exactly the way I wanted it, I truly felt like a princess. Donna also did my hydro facials all winter long to prep my skin! I couldn't have been any more happier. Thank you so much!!! read more

I could not be happier with the entire staff at The Studio. From setting up appointments for my makeup trial to solidifying all plans for the day of my wedding Dawn was the most personable and professional. Donna does an OUTSTANDING job! She is so personable, sweet, motivated, calm & passionate about her work that her positive vibe reassures you that she's got this and you will get the look that you want. I had my makeup trial with her in December and loved her from that moment. She traveled to meet me in Huntington for my wedding on July 14 in order to do my makeup and my bridesmaids at 6am. Without exaggeration everyone loved her work and my gfs want to use her again for future events. Our makeup held up from 6:30am until 11pm. The quality is above and beyond and most importantly the professionalism and ease did not disappoint. Thank you again Donna! Xo read more

Affordable prices, Tori who helped me was super sweet and informative. Can't beat the price. Highly recommend! read more

Don't go there!!! I had my natural brown hair color and wanted to make Ombre style with some highlights. My stylist was Daniella. She charged me for full painting. I paid 270$ for nothing. My hair is yellow instead of white and hair quality sucks... completely dead!!! Even sometimes I'm using hair oil to brush it. I feel so bad, they called me and said we gonna fix your hair color for free but they are liars!!! I went there and they charged me again for 125$. I left salon angry and I don't wanna go there anymore. read more

I love Studio New York! I have been seeing Donna for several years and I can honestly say that I always leave one happy lady!! The atmosphere is relaxed and upscale. There is always a friendly vibe going on. Upon being seated as you await your color or haircut you are always asked if you would like a beverage. The staff is super friendly! I am always greeted with "hello" and a smile and seated almost immediately. I cannot say enough good things about this place!! read more

This place is a joke. Not only did I pay over 200$ for terrible hair,I had terrible service. Some foreign woman did my hair. Had no idea what she was doing. All the colors bled and I had to pay 500$ to color correct it somewhere else. I sat for hours while the mistake was trying to be corrected. Would not recommend that hair dresser. read more

What a great experience, everyone there is so nice and attentive. I get my color done by Shalyn, she is so talented. She really listens to what I want and always works with me until I am completely happy. She is really the best colorist I've used, she is definitely worth my trip because I don't live locally. I first went to her so she can fix the horrible job that another hair stylist did on my hair somewhere else. My hair was orange and Shalyn brought it back to life with the beautiful cool blonde I always wanted. She spend hours on my hair getting it right and healthy never feeling rushed. She's amazing I highly recommend her!!! She's worth the trip read more

The Hair Studio/Make Up Studio is awesome. On a total whim, without hearing anything about them at all, I used this salon for my/my bridesmaids wedding day hair and makeup. The studio made each one of us feel comfortable, welcome and beautiful! They did a great job and I was still getting compliments at midnight, what more could I want? I've since been back for two haircuts and brought my husband over to the barber shop. All excellent!! I plan to try out their colorists next.... read more

I guess I should hold my judgment until the day after when I have to style it myself, but I'm pretty sure I got the best hair cut of my life this afternoon. My stylist was intuitive to my needs, asked questions along the way, and was knowledgable about my hair type and how a certain cut would effect it in the long run. I came out with a perfectly face-framing bob that will hopefully help me transition into a longer hair style. Added bonus: I was in and out in 35 minutes, including waiting, hair washing, and styling. I didn't even feel rushed at all. They were just pleasant and efficient. Will be back again for hair color! read more

Cant believe some of the reviews on here! So this review is very much overdue.... First off Donna and Jacqueline are awesome! They always are accommodating and always get me in for an appointment right away. The place is clean, everyone is friendly and its nice to have a hot cup of coffee as soon as I roll out of bed rushing to my (day long) hair appointment. I have a long mane, so just as any salon it takes a few hours for perfection. :) They always have up to date magazines ( ladies you know it sucks when you are ready last years People!) Jaime always cuts my hair shes awesome! Jaime also does my hair for every occasion I go to.... Baby showers, weddings.. even my own engagement party and bridal shower. Johnnie does my color and she is phenomenal! I cant say enough great things about this salon! My sisters, my mother and my aunt all go here including a couple of friends I've referred. I've moved from NY to LI in 2011-- I never thought i would find a salon that compares to my old salon in NY-- this salon beats it! read more

I love the studio! I started going there after Ashley did my wedding hair. It came out great and stayed together beautifully even on a summer day with hair that doesn't curl. I now see Renee for haircuts and blowouts. Johnnie does my hair paintings which I always get complements on how great my color is. The salon staff always seem so friendly and accommodating. It is clean and trendy. I don't understand why they got low ratings. read more

Very professional service. I was impressed that there was a separate coloring studio, a separate styling area, a separate make up area AND a separate barber area on the other side for men. Danielle did my highlights superbly . This salon has a very Manhattan vibe. read more

I found a hair colorist on Instagram after a lot of searching for a more local stylist. I have a long term stylist that is in NYC, I had just had surgery and couldn't make the trip and needed some gray coverage and a few highlights. I met with Shalyn after having a consult via text that involved pictures of my hair and ideas of color I wanted. I stated a lived in color look, embracing my natural roots. She stated it would be easy, I had nice hair and didn't need much. The actual color appointment process was complicated. There was highlights and then, without discussion, permanent color applied to my roots. I was nervous as I felt if hitting my scalp - what is this?- and asked if the color would match my natural and she said yes! I sat with the color for a while. I felt forgotten about. Shal was busy and complaining she needed more help from her assistant, running around trying to tend to all her clients. Leaving me to "process". At the rinse station I saw in the reflection of my phone my roots were ORANGE. I stood up and walked to a mirror (you are not seated in front of a mirror during any point of the color or wash) and was horrified. Orange. Shal immediately slathered on a brown root shadow to cover the orange. The environment was frantic. She had clients and was busy and had contentious moments with her assistant the entire time. She was frazzled and it made me more worried! The root shadow totally covered the highlights she added, she attempted to blow my hair out after without even brushing it. I almost cried. It was just such an awful color. So far from our discussion and what my hair looked like. She then added more highlights to the front bc it was so dark. They were messy, sloppy. She said "well I had to throw them in fast" - like that's acceptable. Ultimately I had to just stop. I said enough with all of this, my hair was ruined. She stated many times she "f--ked up", "didn't know you had virgin hair" "this is why text consults are bad. I should have asked you" a lot of hair jargon to sound in control, "color deposit" "lifting", all VERY apologetic. My hair was still awful. And the part that gets me is that I was charged. In ANY CAPACITY. $160 after the discounts applied for, literally, and admittedly, f-ing up my hair. I had to spend 3x that amount for color correction the following week bc my sister was getting married. The women were nice and concerned with my discontent - especially Shalyn. But overall, I'd advise not to go here. I rarely write reviews but read them a lot, and I'd like to help someone else out. My hair hasn't recovered. It's fragile and sloppy. The salon was unprofessional and chaotic, arguing on the floor, rushing, pouting assistants - all as my hair was turning orange. Charging the client after all that is just bad practice. read more

My mother has been going here for years. She has been seeing Matt since he started years ago. I had come in for trims here and there, but I lived in NYC. Since I moved back out here, this is the only place I'll go. I was dying my natural blonde hair with boxed black dye for 10 years. I knew going back blonde would take a while if I wanted it to stay healthy. Matt got it back in record time! I couldn't believe it! And it's healthier than before- I really don't know how. lol it's magic. My mom and I don't agree on much, but we agree that Matt's the best! :) read more

I felt nickled-and-dimed when I went in for highlights earlier this season. $120 for a full head of painted on highlights is fine on it's own, but I was then charged $50 for a "root touch up" to cover just a few unruly grays, $20 for toner after the highlights, and an additional $35 for a blowout. All of this while three different people were working on my hair (so three tips...) At the very minimum, why couldn't my hair have been blown out for free considering everything else I was charged for? At the end, the highlights were sub-par at best. When I spoke to the colorist and told her I wasn't pleased with the results, she couldn't articulate a good response as to why they came out that way. Instead she said "you can come back and we'll paint more on." Yeah... no thanks. I've had better work done at less expensive salons. I prefer Cactus across the street and will be returning there. read more

This place is always packed I don't know how they have 3.5 stars!!! Every single person that works here is always smiling and friendly even if you're not there to see them! Jacqueline at the front desk is always so sweet and helpful! Donna & Matthew do my makeup for any events and always give me exactly what I had in mind (not too much I don't wear a lot of makeup). Reese or Ashley are my go to's for my hair needs, cut, blowout, updo they're both sweet, funny and amazing at what they do! Johnnie is my colorist, she's talented beyond words! She's so sweet and always gives me the best suggestions! I've seen Janine a few times for color if Johnnie is unavailable or booked, she's so sweet and I always leave feeling like a celebrity! read more

Omg I got a hair cut a few weeks back here and I honestly forgot the girls name but she was phenomenal omg my hair never looked that great will find out the name and deff be coming back love the service here the girls try to work with your schedule and be flexible but it is a little pricey then most places so keep that in mind! read more

well, I saw this so-called colorist her name is is Danielle. Danielle burned my entire scalp with bleach, she said that was a normal feeling and I should be fine, I caught up with somebody outside and they pretty much told me no your scalp is burned it's not a skin condition. read more

Best of the best! Have a hard time trusting anyone but the studio with my hair now!

Absolutely beautiful salon in beautiful Babylon village. Kristen is an amazing colorist and Amanda is an amazing stylist. Love love love them if you're a blonde see Kristen she won't disappoint read more

Not sure why this place has only 3 stars. Called today to make an appointment today and they were able to squeeze me in no problem. Beautiful, clean, trendy salon. Front desk staff was super friendly and accommodating. They have coffee, water, tea and wine! What's to hate about a salon that offers that? I was treated like a celebrity, I had Donna and Tori blow drying my long mane before being cut and styled. Donna was amazing and friendly. She recommended great products and I was in and out in about a half hour. Love this place! Will certainly be back for more cuts and services. read more

One of my bridesmaids uses the Makeup Studio for all of her special events, so I went for a hair trial with Reese and a makeup trial with Donna. I had done a trial at another salon, and couldn't put my finger on why I wasn't thrilled with it. I gave only loose instruction to Reese, and she came up with an amazing hairstyle that fit exactly what I was looking for. The same happened with Donna. I brought a few photos from pinterest to show I wanted a more dramatic makeup look, and she really delivered. I only booked them in March for our June wedding, but they were very accommodating, and didn't seem to mind that I booked closer to the date. The day of our wedding Reese came with a second hairstylist, and Matthew came to start us off with Donna coming halfway through to take over. Everyone arrived right on time, and my four bridesmaids, Mom, Mother-in-law, and myself were all done ahead of time, and we were all so, so happy with our hair and makeup. They are a bit pricier than other salons I'd looked at, but I felt that it was worth the cost, since the end result was so stunning. Everyone from the Makeup Studio was so professional, and I would definitely book them again. read more

Amazing first time! My colorist, Danielle, came highly recommended because she specializes in redheads and I was not disappointed! The entire staff was friendly and professional and experienced. I will come here again and again even if it is far away! read more

I have never written a review anywhere but I just felt that I had to this time: Danielle was amazing!! I walked in w a boched dye job and had already been to two other places. When I tried to explain what I wanted, she pulled up a chair and looked through photos w me Til she understood what I wanted. The best part is - I got exactly what I had been trying for this whole time!! Thanks so much Danielle and thank you Dan for the free blow out "just because". I would've paid top dollar for it!! See you all soon read more

I booked and signed a contract for Matthew to do my makeup for my wedding a year in advance. I left 100 dollar deposit. 3 days before my wedding I texted him to make sure on times and his response was I'm sorry but I doubled booked and I'm in California. My jaw dropped. He wasn't planning on telling me bc he didn't want to stress me out. HORRIBLE HORRIBLE BUSINESS. The person who referred me could not believe it and she also will never use him again. I hope you listen to me and take my advice to never use him. He is unreliable and apparently a contract means nothing. read more

Donna made my daughters wedding day everything she wanted it to be. Her hair and makeup was done beautifully! She looked beautiful thanks to Marlene, Cory, Karen and most of all Donna! The bridesmaids couldn't be happier with the way their hair and makeup looked too ! I am very grateful to the makeup studio for all of their professionalism all the time . Thanks again Donna for everything ! Sep 10th 2016 what an amazing day it was for everyone Christine was so happy! read more

This was my third visit to the salon After 2 visits with good results, I was confident in the salons capabilities. Unfortunately, I had a different experience this time. My stylist gave me a great cut, she listened to what I had to say and I was very pleased with the outcome. On the other hand, my colorist seemed distracted and rushed. My "natural" looking highlights came out striped and overly blonde, when we discussed a honey-blonde expectation. I don't think I'll ever return for a Saturday visit. Management seemed unaware of my disappointment, and the overall gossip around the salon was almost unbearable. read more
