I love the VARIN Salon! I've been coming to this first-rate beauty salon from the very first day they opened . Judy is my amazing hair dresser. My hair has always been so thin and yet you wouldn't know after she blows it. I would never go anywhere else. The salon is located in a very convenient location on Madison Avenue. Everyone here makes you feel comfortable and important . The shop is pretty and modern. I Recommend Judy & the shop highly.

So let's start off by talking about actually getting here. If I hadn't been walking with somebody who knew exactly where they were going, I would have gotten completely lost. The salon is on the second floor of a building. It's not something you can walk by and look right through the window - unless you're across the street viewing in. You have to ring the Varin doorbell to actually get into the building. Then, you walk up a flight of stairs and you finally arrive. The salon is very cute. I love the main focus of the place which is the big window. It has so much natural light inside which I think helps for a place like this. Varin was very well put together as far as color/decor. I got highlights in my hair. Tia was the beautician who worked on my hair. I thought it was very comforting in a way that she had explained what she thought would be best, and asked about the background of my hair, what products I used and so on. I like it a lot because that makes customers get a feeling as if they know what they're doing. My hair came out wonderful, I loved the outcome and she did a fantastic job. The salon provides robes so you don't mess up your shirt, and the cutest changing room in the back of the salon. I thought the staff was so friendly and seemed like they made a good team. Varin offers a variety of drinks during your stay, from water to wine. They also have numerous magazines and iPads magnetized to the wall for customer entertainment. I felt comfortable while I was there. The downfall of the salon that I didn't like about it is the shampoo area. On the wall, there is nothing to look at. No wall hangings or even TV? I think they should fill the wall with something because it's quite boring. Even a TV displaying their work would be a really neat way to advertise or give customers inspiration. Another thing I didn't like about the salon was the chairs, where your feet sit is attached to the chair awkwardly and if you don't be careful getting up, you could seriously trip and hurt yourself. The girl who was working on my hair forewarned me every time I had got up, which I'm glad she did or else I would have tripped over it. Anyone who reads my reviews knows I love to talk about the bathrooms. They only have one toilet. It was spacious and pretty inside, full of black tile. It was neat and tidy, so I give them a positive review on that! I would recommend coming here. So recap, I love the fact that the worker was informative about her work. Friendly and was able to keep a conversation with me while I was there. I love the atmosphere of it all, and being a design major I love the set up and placement of everything. Just change the boring wall and harmful chairs! Also, the salon likes to take pictures of their work, so prepare yourself.

So I found out about this salon by when their colorist, Brittany, invited me to get some services done and suggested I Yelp about it if I was happy with my experience and the results. I asked if I could invite a friend so also get hair styled as well and they were more than gracious when they accommodated us both on the same night. Upon entering I was greeted by Phillipe who along with Candace got me into a black robe, comfy chair a glass of water in hand and I began a hair consultation with Teresa. I already knew going in that I wanted some sort of balayage and ombre work done that was subtle, natural, yet noticeable. Teresa sure delivered! After looking at a few photos I came with on my iPhone she got to work hand-painting away and promised me it would be gradual (I was paranoid about getting harsh lines of color! Huge ombre no-no!) and natural. She sectioned my hair, painted to her liking and then left the color in for what seemed like maybe 15-20 minutes. She said my hair was "obedient" and the color didn't need to be left any longer. Candace washed my hair thoroughly and with Teresa's guidance applied and washed off a simple clear gloss designed to just give me some added shine. Afterwards Candace conditioned, untangled and blew out my hair. As this was happening my friend was getting highlights, layers and also getting a blow-out of her own as we shared a bottle of Vino Verde that we purchased for our "hair date". They didn't mind us being loud...okay...ME being loud and us drinking wine - they even provided us with chilled wine glasses and poured for us, lol. Yann even kept exclaiming, "We're having a hair party!!!" - and we certainly were :). This place is definitely a bit more pricey than what I'm used to since I don't really get my hair done often. I'm usually a "wash and go" kinda gal, only really paying attention to my side bangs to make sure they're straight and frizz-free. But as the old adage says, "you get what you pay for" and what you'll get here is excellence. Granted that my services were complimentary just this one time, I would definitely come back here for more hair fun, to touch up and I'd definitely recommend Varin Salon to anyone looking for a great color, cut and/or style.

AFTER: Ricardo's brilliant handiwork!!

It hasn't been 24 hours yet so far so good though and they haven't come off. I'm definitely going back and I'm going to buy their gift card for $500 so I can get a bonus $120. I'm just so happy they don't feel heavy and they are so sexy looking. I have a big event on Wednesday and with all my makeup on I know they will look amazing. I'm so happy found this lash salon. The bed was super comfortable btw most places have a cement block for a table this place was super lux. Will be going back!!!

Head upstairs and use the super nice individual bathrooms down the hall if you need. Very clean. Their space is bright and airy with multiple technicians and tables. They obviously have a system and run efficiently. I've always had problems with getting a dramatic lift but Sharon O had no problem. She assessed my lash type and eye shape and told me that it's just a matter of where she placed the rod. My lashes turned out super lifted and lovely. She had a timer for each solution and it was all very matter of fact and systematic - perfect. For first time clients they discount the lash lift from 90 to 80 and give a castor oil lash solution. They said keep lashes dry for 4 hours (one day is for old solutions I guess) and no mascara for one day. You can pay with the card you used to book the appointment. They prefer tip in cash but will also accommodate putting on card. Overall this place was great and if I lived here I would be a regular.

Got 12 mm mascara mink Studio was clean and gave me makeup remover before the service (I made a spontaneous decision to get my lashes done for the first time). I used the first time cash discount and got mink lashes to look more natural and they lasted me a whole month looking pretty full before needing a refill, despite me going through bereavement and crying constantly! I live in California so I can't get them refilled but highly recommend this place to anyone - while they've started to fall out, I can see my natural lashes and they don't look very damaged like I had feared. I took pretty good care of them and didn't rub my eyes including only splashing water on them to wash them. Also the session was only 1 hour which I heard was pretty fast compared to some other places. I've gotten so many compliments saying they looked good but not too dramatic which is what I was going for!

When you walk in and sign in, you'll tell the front desk what style you want (i.e. natural, mascara, glam, anime) and the lengths of the lashes. They will write down everything on a note, which they give to the lash artist. There's not really a consultation with the lash artist herself, since she just takes the note and starts right away. If you can, try to find an opportunity to show your artist any reference pictures to make sure you are getting the right style and lash mapping. While my extensions looked fine, they looked nothing like the reference picture I had, so I regret not confirming the style with the lash artist beforehand. The price is certainly cheaper than other places, especially if you pay in cash and with a first time discount. The whole procedure also took an hour, and they were very gentle. Overall, I wish there was more guidance for people new to lash extensions. Otherwise, great place for those who are experienced with lashes!
