Cactus Salon Day Spa in Stony Brook, NY

Recently came in with a groupon + received a rushed service (as all other reviews warned.) Not very personable stylists / washers. My stylist barely tried to make conversation during my blowout. Very awkward experience. Worst of all, since she was rushing (most likely because the groupon was not worth it to her)- the blow dryer was too high resulting in me noticing my scalp look like it was peeling after when I got home. Wouldn't come again, I'll stick with Hair Dreams down the road.

I just left Cactus Salon and I'm so happy! I had a Groupon for a deep conditioning and blow dry. Elisa did an amazing job blowing my hair out and even curled it for me. I've always been happy with how my hair turns out here!

I've never had a bad haircut until I went to Cactus Salon. I bought a Groupon for a haircut, and I called to book my appointment. There was apparently a misunderstanding that the stylist that the receptionist told me would accept Groupons, apparently doesn't accept Groupon, so another stylist took me; and that doesn't really bother me, I just wanted anyone to cut my hair. I arrived 10 minutes early to my appointment, and they took me in late. All these are just minor inconveniences that display their quality of professionalism. My MAJOR concern was when my stylist literally gave me the worst front pieces that I have ever seen. She hastily cut my hair, blowdryed it, and scurried off into the back room. She didn't ask if I liked it or wanted to adjust anything, and I couldn't even say anything about it because by the time I put on my glasses, she was already gone. My curtain bangs are very uneven, and it quite honestly looks like I cut it myself with how amateur it looks. I literally waited in the salon for her to come back so that I could tip her. At that point, I didn't even want to bring up how she cut my hair  unevenly, in fear that she would only ruin it more. Just avoid this salon at all costs unless you can find the stylist that everyone raves about; but at that point, why should you spend your money at an establishment and basically gamble your chances of getting a decent cut. The only saving grace was that the receptionist that I initially made my appointment with was so nice.

Elisa was awesome! I came in with long, straight, one length hair & left with a textured long Bob.

Such a welcoming atmosphere! Kelly did an amazing job with my men's hair cut. I will definitely be coming back! Thank you so much!
