Renaissance Salon

I’ve been a client of Melissa R’s for at least 5 years now. She has moved between a small handful of hair salons in that time, and each time, I’ve followed her. Melissa has done wonders for my hair, regardless of what styles I’ve come in asking her for. I’ve had a short bob (Melissa’s signature cut– if you want the perfect stack in back, ask for her), I’ve had half my head shaved with extensions down to my midback on the other side. I rocked pin straight tresses for a long long while, then graduated to embracing my natural curls… and Melissa kept up with all of it. She’s dyed my hair black, bleached me blonde, painted my hair nearly every color in the rainbow, and then back again. She is awesome, and that’s why I’ve been so loyal to her. (I «cheated» once, had my hair butchered at a salon with a GOOD reputation, and came running back to her. I learned my lesson REAL quick.) Melissa has been at Renaissance Salon for about a year and I can honestly say its my favorite location to visit her at thus far. The past salons had a somewhat off putting vibe about them; you could almost feel the drama and tension in the air. Once, one of the salons even tried to overcharge me JUST because they could see I was close with Melissa and they were stepping on her toes that day! (Good thing I could do math!) Renaissance has never made me feel that way. I’ve never had an experience in there where I’ve felt uncomfortable. The salon is clean, the décor is cute, the service is quick and everyone I’ve encountered is friendly. though, no one beats Melissa.

The first color was great
Second one came out red… She used two toners, then the color didn’t stay
Went back to get it fixed, she seemed ok
Then shampoo girl blew me out, because she didn’t have the time.
The chair they wanted me to sit in, was full of hair, so I asked them to clean it off… And you will see what was in front of my chair in picture.
Will not return.

Everytime my daughter Kayla go to this salon we are happier than we were the time before, what can we say? We were lucky enough to have found this salon as well as Caitlin she’s amazing love her

Its an OK salon …certainly NOT one of best as per a review below… far from it. The place really needs to be cleaned up and reorganized — big time! The entry is kinda old and shabby. Like something you’d find in a basement… a futon with a cover… ugh! Old coffee and reception area that is a mess. There is also color and stains all over the place… does anyone clean up in here!!! However, some (not all) of the sylists are pretty good, some more friendly than others and they do a nice job. Still looking for a good salon that does a great job, but for now, this place is OK. guess if you are in a pinch and need to get a color and cut its good.

This is a fantastic salon! I have been going here for the past 4 years and keep coming back for a many reasons… the professional staff, the quality of hair cuts, color and keratin treatments.

The elderly woman at the front desk is rude and unprofessional she needs to take a customer service class and learn how to treat her paying guest. I wouldn’t give this establishment the time of day again I feel bad because the actual stylist are very nice but when you have such a nasty person greeting people and talking to them in a disgusting manner it turns customers off. If you’re looking for a place that treats you like an ex husband would this is the place for you if not go elsewhere this place needs a friendly face at the front desk not a guard dog.

The people here are extremely nice but the dye job on my hair was horrible. I have dark brown hair and asked for subtle ombré to a lighter brown, with no color above my earline. It turned out brassy orange and looked like my roots had grown out because the color was way too high and splotchy in random places. It was a waste of $ 100 and I had it immediately fixed by another salon the next morning. I won’t be going back. I will post a picture. On top of the bad color, every worker in the salon told me it looked wonderful, so gorgeous. Every friend I showed said, «omg, what did she do?» I’d prefer the salon own up to their mistake and fix it rather than lie to me and send me on my way.

This salon is the best salon on Long Island! They do the best work and have the best prices. Other salons around charge an arm and a leg just for a blow out. I have been to MANY salons in Suffolk county and this is the place to be. They have a great staff that always listens to what you want and delivers. I have went from black hair to blonde hair to red hair to having extensions and everything in between and my hair is still healthy and shiny all the time. Cait is the stylist that does my hair, she in my opinion is the best one there. She always understands what I want my hair to look like and does exactly that. Tommy is an assistant who is awesome too, he gives THE BEST shampoos and does great blow outs as well. There’s another assistant named Theresa who is the sweetest girl you will ever meet, she does awesome shampoos as well and is always running around the salon cleaning. The receptionists are always so nice and always greet me with a smile. This place is definitely the best out there!

Look… I never like to write anything but positive but, I must say– I read the reviews on this place and it lead me to believe I was in for a decent experience in this salon. A little side note, I may be a bit bias because I used to work in high end salons in my 20s and working in high end places makes everything else kind of .ehhh.
This salon, is not by any means high end. First of, the décor is shabby. It has an interesting element here and there but the walls were painted poorly, I could tell it was done by a non professional and the colors were like muted and boring. THERE IS NOT ONE DECORATIVE ELEMENT just blank walls. Not minimalist just blank. There is an old futon with and old blanket flung over it (like something you find in a sorority house (comfy but well used and NOT very chic) it is in the front desk area which by the way is the thruway from the color/​shampoo area to the cutting area and it is about 3 feet wide. the place is bland an unappealing.
I feel bad to say this but I have no idea who is who at the front desk. The girl who was standing there when I came in was wearing a crazy looking WIG-​and looked dazed and confused I was shocked. Nobody was very professional, I had no idea who was who. On the phone they assured me Julie would be great for my daughters coarse curly hair… I will keep my stylist nameless… I feel bad for her.
ONE POSITIVE THIS PLACE HAS… THOMAS who is a junior stylist. shampoo, and everything in between. This guy was trained in NYC and you can tell. He picks up everybody’s slack as he goes, and when he shampooed me he did a shiatsu scalp technique that made me forget how uncomfortable I felt in this place. He was wonderful.
My stylist was nice but spent about 3 minutes on my cut, took out her blow dryer and started my blowout and literally one minute into it she had somebody go fetch Thomas (who had washed my hair) and asked him to continue while she checked her color client and said she would be right back. half way through my blowout she came back and stood there and informed me she needed to stay on the other side «watching» the other ladies color cause she needed to be the one who washed out her color, and had Thomas do my entire blowout. Assistants often do the blowouts for a stylist but the way she handled this was super unprofessional.
My daughters stylist who was two chairs away was trying to be friendly but was very fake and obnoxious. I saw my 13 yr old daughter looking sad in the chair and i felt bad. The cut was ridiculous, and the blowout sucked. her hair was like a frizzy poodle. HORRIBLE. I have never seen such a poor job on this child. I have taken her to different places and even assistants did a better job that this aging stylist who was dressed like she is 20, with purple hair, a snooty attitude and she was like 50. It was so sad. I was praying she would be somewhat d\genuine to my daughter but she wasn’t. I have never seen such a mess in a salon that claims to be «up on the latest trends» I hate to say it but, what they need to be up on is the proper way to run a salon. A smile perhaps? Somebody to greet you? A stylist that is with you for more than a minute and is not in a mental fog? I mean even a somewhat professional chic style of dress on the staff would help how they look overall. Thomas was the reason I didn’t explode. OH and the fact that THANK GOD IT WAS ONLY A GROUPON because if I had to actually pay for this at their prices, I would have been a real problem for them. i tipped appropriately but not how I normally would (I am an insanely good tipper) DON’T BOTHER WITH THIS PLACE IT IS HIT OR MISS and only the unsuspecting will buy their BS image…

Theresa is awesome! She saved my hair from a horrible cut I got someplace else. And listen to her when she recommends a color!

I came across this great salon after discovering a groupon for a cut and highlights. The staff here were all awesome. So friendly and deff a comfortable environment. The highlights came out amazing and the Bob cut I got there was the best I’ve had in a long time. A++ I will definitely be back again :)

I went here for the first time because of a groupon. I have extremely curly hair so I have trouble finding beauticians who know how to cut it right. For this reason, I don’t cut it too often. Julie cut my hair and she understood what I wanted and was able to deliver. I am glad to have found her and will definitely go back. High end salon with nice staff. Only 4 stars because I think their regular prices are a bit high. Otherwise they are good.

LOVED this salon. I had a groupon and was treated great. Was fast and easy to make my appointment. Also, the hairdresser gave me the best color and cut I’ve ever had. She even stayed 30 mins after her shift since my hair too a little longer than expected. I never once felt rushed or uncountable. Must go!
