Vanity Salon

Let me start by saying that I have been searching for the perfect hair salon for YEARS and have been unsuccessful. until I found Vanity (was recommended to me by a friend). I have been there twice for regular haircuts/​blowouts with Jeanine and I couldn’t be happier.
Firstly, unlike every other snobby/​stuck up salon i’ve been to on Long Island, the atmosphere at Vanity is friendly and comfortable; almost like a family. The staff are friendly and sweet and always have smiles on their faces.
The salon is clean, neat and pretty.
Jeanine is awesome; I completely trust her with my hair. Not only does she give a great haircut, but she teaches you how to maintain it as well (unlike most salons where your hair looks great for 2 days and then you have no idea what to do with it).
And best of all, the prices are AMAZING!
I’m moving to Manhattan next week, but I will absolutely travel home to Long Island to come to Vanity for my haircuts.

This place is amazing! Thanks to Rose I look like a human. She was nice enough to take me last minute and stayed late to do my hair. She has an amazing personality which made my time spent there even better. All and all great experience! I will definitely be visiting her again.

Very friendly atmosphere. Was there today for the first time. I just moved to Merrick and received a complementary hair cut postcard in the mail and they honored it. I paid $ 42 for a roots touch up. Lynn the hairstylists colored and cut my hair. The color came out nice but wasn’t excited about the cut. I should have brought in a picture. I do agree with another client about Lynn’s blow drying skill. She can work on them. She did not scratch me, but I didn’t get that silky hair that one gets when leaving a salon. My hair looked like i blew it out.
I will give them another try. I was very pleased with their friendliness.

If you have difficult eyebrows, you’ve found a solution! I have been coming here for years and even when I moved away, when I visited home would make it a point to get here! Go to Lana– she has always taken amazing care of me! And the girls at the front always helpful with getting an appointment :) also, always hot fresh coffee!
FYI though– cash or check only

Made an appointment with Rose. She’s wonderful! She listened to each of my requests and fulfilled them. I will definitely be coming back to her!

Great shop! I travel all the way from Brooklyn, to get my hair done… Ann, Jeanine and Lauren are great beauticians! Everyone is really friendly and Lana does great manicures!

I’ve been going here for years. If you have thick curly hair see Lauren, she knows how to give a great blowout! She listens. She won’t chop 5 inches when you only want 2 cut. I wear my hair straight and curly and with the cut she gives me it looks great either way. Perfect layers and angles! I was in a wedding party and Janine gave us all amazing up dos. Annie, Lauren and Janine and everyone in the shop are really sweet.

I went in last month for the Brazilian Hair treatment. I was told it would last 4 months. The service was fine and the people were very nice. About 4 weeks after the treatment was done, I noticed my hair would get frizzy when I was blow drying it. Since this treatment is supposed to last 4 months, there is no reason for my hair to frizz up. I went on vacation to Florida and the humity showed in my hair big time.
I called the salon with my complaint and shortly after I recieved a phone call back from the owner. She explained they no longer use the «stronger» treatment, but I could go back for a free hair cut or color. If I was told the new treatment they use would only last UP TO 8 weeks, I would of went somewhere else. I don’t want a hair cut or color. I spent $ 170 because I wanted straight, frizz free hair for 4 months. Needless to say, I will NOT be going back there. A refund should of been given so I could go get my hair done the right way!

I’ve been going there for years and usually I use Annie or Lauren who give great cuts, however my last experience was very… rude to say the least. I had my hair Keratin straightened there 2 weeks prior and was very displeased with the results. The top of my hair was greasy and the bottom seemed very dry. It was also not straight and much less managable than I was told it would be. I figured a haircut might help this problem. I made a quick appt with Lynn and I explained the problem to her. She asked me if I knew how to rinse conditioner from my hair. I’m 23 years old. her haircut was painful and I was beginning to think she was doing it on purpose. I asked her about maybe cutting some bangs or doing a side bang, which she basically told me no and brushed me off. She was a horrible, rude woman. After she was finished with her painful blow out (i still have red marks on my forehead from the round brush) she asked another hair styloists opinion, if the ends of my hair looked dry. He said yes and said I should cut it, and it was probably like that because it hadn’t been cut in awhile. She had just cut my hair. After that she said she thought it was fine and didn’t know what I wanted her to do. She said I should get highlights so my hair wouldn’t be greasy at the top and dry at the bottom. So it was $ 200 for the keratin straightening and the shampoo and conditioner, and now for the results I wanted, I would have to spend more money on something I don’t want. I left disappointed, with a hair cut I didn’t want, red scratches on my forehead, a headache, and no solutions. However, the woman who washed my hair was very nice. I’m not going back, and I will tell everyone to stay away.

My experience was fine with everyone at Vanity. Everyone was friendly and I was relatively satisfied with my hair for some time. The clientele seemed relatively happy while there. The have a cash/​check only policy so be prepared. They offer basic services.
