I normally don't do these review things, ( but that's a story for a different day.) I reached a point in my life a few years ago where even taking care of my hair was a problem. Than I met Lauren. I sat down in front of her, and just cried. Her knowing me better than most, and probably just by looking at my hair, all she did was say, "shhh it's okay, let's wash your hair." And a few hours later, I cried again as I looked in the mirror again, transformed from long, dull, stringy, limp hair, to a cut and color that made me feel like i just walked off the runway into the real world. I felt a weight lifted off my shoulders, ( and i don't just mean my hair!) I am a tomboy, yeah I said it, so this stuff is either, 1 uncomfortable for me or 2 just totally out of my element and to be honest priorities. But, I realized that a little change even a trim by Lauren or simply just a chat with her, could honestly change your life. I carry myself better, I spend time in the mirror before work, hearing her tips and tricks in my head, as I blow dry and style. She left not only an impression on me, but one on me, that leaves an impression on others. When people compliment my hair, I pull out my mini stack of her business cards I carry and tell them, "please go see her, it's more than a good hair cut or color." And I mean that. Lauren, if you read these things, which I hope you do so you can see how truly amazing you are, please know no matter what, you changed one life, simply by being you and being good at your trade. Your hands are magic. Your are the only one who has and will ever touch my hair again!! Keep it up chica- thinking extensions?! heh :) read more

Carmel brought my curls back! She is not only my hair stylist now, she is my hair doctor! I have had long curly hair my entire life, my everyday styling was effortless- just wash & go. Until a couple of years ago, my curls became very "stringy" & frizzy. I found myself having to blow dry my hair, with tons of products & scrunching the curls to bring them back to life. I had to do this every morning, only to loose the curls by lunch time. I was ready to give up & had just attributed my stringy curls to getting older (I'm 33). I came to VG in January of 2015 for a trim & Carmel ended up giving me a hair education instead! She hooked me up with the correct products, daily techniques for healthy hair & put me on a "trim schedule". My beautiful curly ringlets that I had when I was a kid have returned & look better than ever & im back to my wash & go lifestyle- I couldn't be happier! In fact, I was so happy with my results, I booked Carmel & the rest of the VG girls to do my hair & all my bridesmaids hair for my upcoming November wedding! I highly recommend VG & Carmel, the Hair Doctor! You will not only leave the salon with great hair every time , you will learn something too! read more

I have been going here for a couple of years and always leave happy! We moved here 4 years ago and I went to a couple of different salons that were recommended to me but was not impressed with service or results After giving VG a try I have continued to go every few weeks for almost 3 years. Typically I get cuts and color touch-ups with Vilma or Besa. Kelfy does great blowouts. Other services I've had are glazing and keratin treatments which I love. I continue to go because; my hair has become noticeably healthier since going to this salon, the products are gentle on my hair and smell amazing (Kevin Murphy), the stylists and staff are all warm and friendly even when you can see they are busy. they make the effort to offer you a tea. My daughter also goes here for her hair cuts and keratin treatment. She has also had make-up done with Daniella and Besa before big events. My son also goes here for his haircuts which says a lot! He did not want to go to a "salon" because felt it was for women and went to barbers only. After I convinced him to let Vilma cut his hair once, he will not go any place else and is now loyal to VG! Thank you VG! read more

If I could give it 6 stars I'd give is 7. I just got my third haircut here and I can't stop running my fingers through my silky soft, newly healthy hair. This salon works magic and my hair has never had less split ends or grown so fast (and believe me, when I first came here, it looked like I had spent a few too many minutes too close to a campfire...) . Making things even better, I love my blonde color and get compliments on it almost every day. Superb service and just in general an all around well-run business. There's a reason the incredible women that work here are friends with almost all of their clients--all of them are returning customers. As a college student, funds are tight but my haircuts here are worth not buying clothes for a month. After all, an amazing haircut is the best accessory to any outfit. Anyways, if you want to be treated like royalty and leave feeling and looking like a movie star this is the place to go. I am a client for life. read more

Vilma and Daniela are AMAZING! I have never met two women so passionate about their field - they understand hair at the deepest level and are on top of the latest trends, approaches, and hair products so you can feel confident you are using getting a personalized treatment specifically for your hair and hair type. Which honestly when it comes to my hair I want nothing less. I have been to every salon under then sun from the low key one across the street to the swanky salon for future celebrity stylists and I can honestly say they are the best. From the service they provide when I walk in the door to the insightful recco's and suggestions for my hair/hair type - I know I am in the best hands. I truly cannot say enough about these two women entrepreneurs and their amazing salon - check them out you will NOT be disappointed. read more

Took me 20+ years to find a great salon but finally did it! Love this place, love what they stand for (organic, natural hair care), everyone is SO SWEET! Never have I been to a salon or anywhere for that matter where everyone comes up and introduces themselves, so sweet! Vilma is incredibly talented and knowledgeable about her field. She did an amazing job on my color, I came in with overgrown roots (dark blonde) and wanted to go light blonde/icy kind of look and she absolutely accomplished that and it looks so natural. She also gave me a breakdown of the price before we even got started I've been coloring my hair since I was in my teens and never have it felt so soft and so healthy until now. Will absolutely recommend anyone to go here...it's worth every penny! read more

I've been going to Carmel for nearly 2 years now and followed her to this salon. Now, usually being a dude in a salon is weird. But these ladies go above and beyond to make sure that everyone feels at home, seems like they really take pride in their work and the quality service they provide. The entire staff here is incredibly knowledgable and seem like they keep up on their education. Every time I go in for a trim (about 2 wks), they're talking about conventions and classes. Don't know much else of what they're talking about when it comes to hair but the proof is in the pudding. I would pick these lovely ladies over a barber shop (or any other salon) any day of the week!! read more

I have been to VG countless times; with each appointment they treat me with the kindness, care, and good intentions they would a first time customer. I have been through black, platinum blonde, purple, and brown hair at VG and I still have all my hair on my head! I love that they have my best intentions in mind and will not compromise the health of my hair. On top of all of that they're always up to date with the newest color and cut trends and aren't afraid to execute them when I ask. I am elated that I have finally found a trendy NYC style salon in Westchester that has a warm family feel. Thank you Vilma, Carm, Lauren, and Daniela for making me feel and look amazing ! read more

Dee and Vil are amazing! Super friendly, family-oriented staff yet extremely professional. Being a super picky patron with long hair-- it takes ALOT for me to immediately trust someone with my hair. I had no issue here. Vil takes my vision and makes it reality, which is difficult for a stylist to do. She's consistent and very good at interpreting what I want no matter what kind of cut I'm in the mood for. Make an appointment, you won't regret it. They also keep up with all the new trends and education in hair, etc so VG is always looking for ways to provide an ultimate salon experience. Bonus: they also do very good men, teen and kids cuts. Bring your entire family! read more

Velma and Danielle run an smart business and they are all about service. From the moment Danielle makes your appointment to that final spray before you head out the door - you feel listened to, cared for, and really beautiful. Velma is great with color and I haven't had a bad cut yet. Sarah, my daughter, always schedules her appointments between college breaks because they are just that good. On a final note - if you are fussy about something- Velma will respond. I hate my flyaways and she knows it....it is nice to have a perfectionist in your corner when you go to the hairdresser. Highly recommend VG Hair Design read more

My hair has never looked or felt better! Vilma has been cutting and coloring my hair for the past couple of years and I would never go anywhere else again. The salon is upbeat and fun, newly renovated and comfortable. Vilma and her staff are up to date on the latest cuts,colors and styles. Vilma and her staff are professional and extremely knowledgeable. When seated in their chair you get personal one on one attention. They give advice on what you need to make your hair as Gorgeous as it can be and cater to all your hair needs. I highly recommend this salon. You won't regret it! read more

Wonderful Salon with amazing stylists! Lauren is amazing. She is the only stylist I have allowed to touch my hair in years. Whether it be the latest color or style she knows exactly what to do and does it well. She listens to her clients needs and wants but isn't afraid to explain what will and will not work based on hair type, face shape and skin tone. Lauren and her coworkers work extremely hard to ensure every single customer walks out looking and feeling like a million bucks. If you're looking for a new salon and great experience I would highly recommend giving them a try!!! read more

Hands down best salon in the area. Carmel, Lauren and Vilma are very talented in what they do. VG Hair Design Studio has a great atmosphere, one is able to relax and enjoy themselves while getting their hair done. Every time I go, I am welcomed with huge smiles. The girls are all amazing which is greatly reflected in the job they do. They do not disappoint! This is a place where everyone is welcome- both males and females of all ages. They even provide you with coffee. Super friendly, talented staff working in a beautiful salon serving coffee... What more can a client ask for? :) read more

Changed hair salons after a cancer diagnosis. Was looking for healthier option, free of ammonia & toxins. Best decision I ever made!! VG Hair Design is everything I want in a salon. Excellent services, I get color, cut, eyebrow tinting/shaping done. Always 100% happy with services. Staff is beyond professional in every way. Love that I never feel rushed & staff really listening to me. Products have transformed my hair to a healthy place . Salon is bright, airy, never more than 2 or 3 customers at a time, which is a real treat! Highly recommend on so many levels!!! read more

Vilma has been doing my hair for a several years now and I wouldn't go to anyone else. She has made my hair from damaged to healthy and beautiful silky and smooth. She truly knows how to mix and match hair colors as well as she gets its perfect every time for me. Trust me, I have given her some challenges on my hair, and every time it came out more and more stunning. I highly recommend Vilma. She won't let you down!!! Also the staff here are amazing and so very welcoming. Always asking if we are okay and if we need anything. Truly a warm environment to be in. read more

I had my first haircut here this evening and will definitely be back. The staff is very sweet and helpful. I got an amazing haircut from Carmel, who also helped me to figure out products that are good for my hair AND showed me how to use them. Side note, Carmel is one of the only stylists I've met that actually knows what I'm talking about and actually listens when I say, "just take off a little". The salon is right next to a parking lot and super easy to get to- I can't wait for my next haircut! Definitely give this place a try!!!! read more

A couple of weeks ago I went to VG for a bridal consultation. Carmel was my stylist and she did a great job! She was very professional, took her time and really worked with me to find a hairstyle that suited me. The entire staff was friendly and attentive. Carmel did a great job at blowing out my kinky-curl hair and styling it. She's pretty versatile and can work with different hair textures. The salon is also a 2 minute walk from the train station which makes it convenient. I would definitely recommend VG hair salon and Carmel! read more

Amazing with no flaws to say! Vilma was not only amazing with her skills but was actually took her time to prove them to me; to a walk-in customer to now a claimed client forever! As a man, who initially get his hair cut from a barbershop, my first experience at a salon left me speechless for your skills on cutting mens hair! from traditional sizzers to using a single blade she had proved me that salons are not just for women; as that is a typical hypocritical statement! I appreciate vilmas work and the her staff read more

I am so glad I bought a Groupon & got acquainted with the staff here!!! I'm now a loyal customer & look forward to every appointment. Not only does my hair look fantastic, but you couldn't ask for a friendlier bunch of girls!! I've gotten cuts, highlights, color, updos & makeup here. I've NEVER been unsatisfied! Everyone here does their best to keep up with the latest trends, yet they're happy to oblige to your every whim. I'm now a diehard fan & think anyone who gives them a shot will be one, too! read more
