Milly Beauty Salon

Five stars for result, hair was perfect post-​set.
However, it was really crowded for a weekday afternoon, the CC processing was down, I had to wait 30 minutes after the dryer was done to be «finished,» and it was a big noisy shuffle. The girl who finished my hair was great and it came out amazing, but also the first girl tore one of my tracks so that kind of sucked.
Still, the result was really good. I will probably stick to Amada in the future but if I’m in Brentwood this place does good if unpredictably timed hair.

I wish there was a way to give half stars. Meh.
I came here upon recommendation from my best friend. I walked in and was seen almost immediately. Of course, as a black woman with long, natural hair, I am wary of salons in general. As soon as I walked in, it was like these people had seen a ghost. Don’t they know that they are in a predominately black area and that we use the services too?
Anyway, after that initial impression, I was walked to the shampooing bowl and had my hair washed thoroughly. The shampoo lady then rolled my hair and sat me under the dryer. Now, I have had my hair dried under the dryer before, but my hair always dries in less than 45 minutes. For some reason, I was sat under the SUPER hot dryer for and hour and a half.
Apparently, I had to wait to be blown out by another stylist, who, while I was 90% dry, took on a client with long, wet hair. So that extra 45 minutes could have been avoided.
It was finally my time to have my hair blown out! The stylist scared me a bit because she used a fine tooth comb on my kitchen… and that’s a no no. Once she used a roller brush and a wider tooth comb, I became more comfortable. The stylist then wrapped my hair and I went on my merry way.
Literally, I have been in and out of salons much faster. The only saving grace is that the shampoo lady did a great job with washing and conditioning my hair, and that I was taken to be washed immediately.

While the owner was nice that is all I probably liked about it. The rest of the staff were not helpful and didn’t even seem to care if a customer had a question or inquiry.
I’m use to only Dominican hair salons and this definitely was not up to par with any other. If an emergency arose and this was the last resort maybe I’ll give it a second shot till then I’ll keep looking for salons in the area.

I give this salon 5 stars because that’s exactly what it deserves.
I moved to West Hempstead from Suffolk County about three months ago and since then, I have been through a handful of salons in the Hempstead area and not one of them satisfied me.
I was about to give up on my search and travel every week to Central Islip (45 minutes from where I live) to do my hair.
Out of desperation, I went to One Stop beauty supply located on Main Street in Hempstead, just a few blocks away from the salon and spoke to one of their employees about my frustration. She advise that I should give Milly’s a shot. She told me I wouldn’t regret it, and till this day, I haven’t.
From day one, I have been treated like a queen at this hair salon.
Milly does my hair and she makes me look like I just got out of a photo shoot every time I leave her salon.
Trust me, GO HERE!
You will love the service and attention you will receive from these ladies.
Good luck and ask me anything you want to know. …

This salon is OK. They washed, roller set and blowed my hair out nicely. However, they were very very slow… I went in at 2pm on a Wednesday and did not leave until 4:45pm. They are not very sanitary either. The comb the stylist was using to roller set my hair fell on the floor and she attempted to put it back in my hair several times. It wasn’t until I was adamant that she cleaned it that she sprayed some water on it and wiped it off. I looked around the salon and did not see one jar of barbicide. I will not be returning.

Ms. Milly is the best!!! She always does my hair just the way I like it. The salon is clean and everybody does their part to keep it that way. All of her stylists are really nice and they do great hair too! I love going to this salon and I highly recommend it :)

I LOOOOVVVVEEEE this salon. They’re the only salon that I could find that does not use shampoo that strips your hair’s moisture. They style pretty nicely too. For hair growing I’d recommend Gleny b/​c she puts rollers in your hair in a way that you don’t need to blow-​dry (which is damaging to African-​American hair.) The products here are really good. And also Gleny does not over process hair when giving a perm. A star taken off for the wait time.

BEST DOMINICAN SALON ON THE PLANET! I now live in Miami and I dreaaaaam about this salon at night. Everytime I have to get my hair done down here I weeeeep for Millys!
Typically NY-​style dominican salon, crowded, loud spanish music, man selling knockoff handbags and asian selling bootleg DVDs, but whatever! Gotta love NYC!
Glenys does my hair like a dreaaaaaaaaaaammmmm, my hair grew and grew and grew and looked PERFECT with her. Ask her to finger coil your hair and you’ll faint in the mirror with happiness. And only $ 25 WITH deep conditioner. Milly’s done my hair too and she also does a great job. I MISS YOU GUYSSSS!
