Vip Dominican Salon

I love this place. They wash your hair thoroughly and really take the time to style your hair to your satisfaction. The only downside is that the wait at this salon can be hit or miss. Sometimes I come there and I’m able to get my hair washed and other times I have waited for 30 minutes before being seen.

I love this salon. First of all, I’m happy I can go for a wash/​set and deep condition at 6pm during the week! Working in Manhattan it can be hard to go to a hair salon after work. Not to mention, because there are about 3 – 4 of them working together, your wait is never very long. Once, I went on New Year’s Eve around 1pm and expected it to be crowded, which it was. To my surprise I waited less than 10 minutes before they took me and I was in and out in under 3 hours (because of my hair I usually can be stuck in a salon for 4+ hours).
Even better are the prices — about $ 32 for a wash/​set/​deep condition, roller set and blow dry. Only $ 25 if you bring your OWN conditioner, even if you sit under the dryer!
If you go on Sunday you can park right outside the salon with no restrictions, otherwise park on one of the residential side streets, or up a few yards to the free municipal parking lot on Uniondale Avenue (across from Dunkin Donuts).
P. S. they take credit/​debit cards.
