Gemini V Hair Salon

This happened in July and I still have nightmare of a haircut. Went in after I went from blonde to brunette knowing that I would have split ends. My hair was down to my boobs. I haven’t been to this place prior but I decided to try it out snide it was local. How bad could a trim be? Boy, was I wrong. I went in and met this elderly lady I think her name was Evelyn. I asked her for a trim and long story short she apparently used a razor or thinning shears and completely frayed and chopped my hair up. I was in disbelief and I thought it was okay when I had seen what she done but my friends had told me it looked horrible. My hair looks like stringy rat tails at the end and it didn’t grow from the summer. It’s to this point I had to write a review because it still upsets me to this day. Never having someone new touch my hair ever again after this.

I’m a male graduate student and was looking for an affordable ‘salon’ that could help me present my hair nicely.
It was thanks to this salon that I realized that my hair looked more decent longer and more about the natural pattern that my hair exhibits and what kind of haircut is appropriate to ‘make the most of it’.
Jalaine was working there at my first visit and she was the main reason I liked this place but i’ve gone back two more times after she stopped working and have had good results. I appreciated that they didn’t mind the lack of tip bc I am a relatively broke student hahaha.
Will continue to go, especially since it’s not so often. I would not want to have to go to salon more than one per two months.

I was looking for a salon that would give haircuts to both me and my grandmother — I’m in my early 30’s and live in Brooklyn and Grandma is 83 and living in Levittown. I called a couple of salons that were rated highly and not too expensive, asking for stylists who would be comfortable working with us both. The first couple of salons I called were rude and abruptly said they wouldn’t be able or interested in doing cut for my Grandmother. I was kind of in shock the way some folks would turn away business like that.
Luckily I called Gemini V and Linda, the proprietor of the salon, picked up the phone. She understood exactly what I was looking for — a somewhat old school beauty parlor that knew what older gals from Long Island are looking for in a haircut and could also give me stylish cut suitable for NYC life.
Linda could not have been more accommodating and did a *great* job doing my Grandma’s hair exactly as she likes it! She has trouble walking and helped her get about the salon while I was getting my hair done… and she’s still raving about the cut she received. Alexis gave my hair a spunky, short and tousled cut that’s cute and easy to style.
It was a fantastic afternoon and we’ll definitely be back :-)

I’m from out of town and needed my hair done for a wedding nearby. I decided to go here after reading reviews & scheduled an appointment with Theresa. I brought in a few pictures of the style I was looking for & she said she knew exactly what she was going to do with it. When she spun me around to see my hair, she had done a fabulous job on my updo! I was getting complements before I even left the salon and all night at the wedding I kept getting complements. Absolutely loved it! Before I left, we were chatting about how I was doing my make up for the night, and another girl, Kristin, who also works in the salon had suggested I see Nicole @ the MAC counter in Macy’s nearby to get my make up done, and she did an amazing job as well. Overall, an amazing experience and I looked fabulous! Couldn’t have asked for anything better! Highly recommend them!

I am temporarily in the Long Island area and needed a haircut. Using your reviews, I picked Gemini. The staff was friendly and Jalaine was very nice to work with. She did a good job on my haircut and offered ideas on products. But she didn’t push at all. I would definitely go back.

My favorite colorist Jalaine is back. If you want color, highlights, a great cut or any type of straightening at a reasonable price, call and ask for an appointment with her!

After reading reviews I thought I would give this place a chance. $ 45 for a single process color which isn’t a bad price. The girl worked with me to find a color I would like. It came out good but I know it will look better after a few washington and the color isn’t so «loud» but I like it. $ 30 for a haircut which isn’t terrible either. She cut it the way I wanted and it came out good. $ 15 for a blowout — UMMM NOT! It’s that a bit bit old fashion to dry someone’s hair. If I was there for a blowout and style then yes but just to dry it to walk of the place — NO POINTS for that one. Overall I liked it and the people were nice. Theresa will be my new girl but she’s having a baby any day now so I will have to wait at least 3 months to go back but that’s usual for me. I go like 2 – 3 a year anyway.

I was desperate and my regular girl was not available so I called Gemini, got an immediate appointment (which scares me sometimes) but Yvette was fantastic. Gave me a great haircut which I got tons of compliments on and, more importantly, I loved it all the way through from beginning to end. Can’t tell you how rare that is! I am thrilled as they are just a block from my house! I definitely recommend this place.

Haircuts for guys are difficult. You don’t want to pay a lot for a haircut, but you still need to look good. Theresa is awesome and nails it every time. She gives the kind of haircut that looks good the next day, instead of the usual «give it a week» haircut. And the price is right. I’m rarely in the area any more and I go out of my way to make appointments when I’m back in town. It’s worth it.

This is a great salon. My entire family goes there. Its a little pricey for hair color, but 2x a year, its not a huge investment. The service is great, the staff is friendly and proffesional. If you want a great hair cut from a reliable salon, Gemini is the way to go.
