Hair Machine Salon — Local services in Town of Hempstead

I go to Jessica D. for cut and color ... AMAZING. She is great whether you go in knowing exactly what you want and great for suggestions if you want to try something new (both cut and color wise). I point that out because I've been to stylists where I say "I want a change" and they say, "well what do you want?" Um, well, I want them to suggest something cool and Jessica definitely does that. I've had color from black, red, purple, orange, back to red, back to purple, the list goes on and on.

If you follow their Facebook and Instagram pages you will see the stylists attend courses to continue their education which shows me they really care about what they do! If your preferred stylist is not available to blow dry your hair, you can trust any of the other stylists on the floor for sure. Everyone is really nice and accommodating to your needs.

They always have specials on hair products (shampoo, conditioner, styling products, blow-dryers, brushes) so I purchase all that good stuff there too. Saves you a trip to the drugstore, plus you get it all at a good price. The valet is SUPER convenient, totally worth spending the few extra bucks. If you didn't catch the valet and parked your own car, don't be concerned about the meters because they will run out for you!

Another plus, if you are coming from out of the area, it is walking distance...

I love love love the Hair Machine. Front desk girls are super friendly (sometimes RVC business have really snotty, stuck up people at the counters, not here!!!) Everyone is super sweet and helpful. I was a washed out redhead (dyed my blonde hair with a box at home) and was desperate for a colorist and previous experiences at other salons had me worried whoever I got was going to speak over me, do what they wanted, and I wouldn't be happy with the results. I got Lauren and I swear she is the best ever!!! If you need highlights or a color touch up please ask for Lauren!! She was super sweet, fun to talk to and was so dedicated to the process and to making me happy!! I showed her some pictures of the ideas I had for my new red color and she loved them, she changed the color just slightly, keeping my opinions and wishes as a priority. She is the professional so I trusted her vision and could not have been happier. Every time I go to get my hair colored I always forget to book a blowout, Lauren does it for me! At the end of the day, the entire place is great, fun to be around and well...

I made an appointment with this salon to get my hair and makeup done for my engagement pictures. I only chose them because they were the only salon open super early on a Saturday. I will never go back here. I had an appointment for 8:30am and was on a strict schedule as I had to make it out east for my photos. I arrived promptly at 8:25am. Instead of taking me to get started on my hair, my stylist took a WALK IN. I sat waiting for 30 minutes. When she was finally done, she proceeded to talk to me and bad mouth other employees in the salon. It was completely unprofessional and uncomfortable. I was already mad about having to wait, I didn't want to hear about salon drama. Also, my hair came out pretty bad. I asked for a blow out with waves/ curls. Instead, she dried my hair and then did tight curls wih an iron. They claim to be similar to a Manhattan salon, but I moved from Manhattan and they are not even close! The only thing close to manhattan is their Ridiculous prices!

However, Lenny did an amazing job...
