Gabriel Loren the Salon in Riverhead, NY

I've come to this salon a few times now and each time I've had a terrific experience. I'm definitely going to be a regular! Raquel (the owner) cuts & colors very well... she is sweet & super talented. She knows what she's doing. Diane, also lovely, always washes my hair with a calming non-rushed touch (an extra nice perk/plus is their head 'pillows' in the sink so your head isn't left hanging & dangling on cold, hard ceramic). The salon's location is great, a stone's throw away from the aquarium. I go get some lunch & get a haircut... it's my "leave mum alone, she's having a girl day" day! Fair pricing, clean, organized, friendly, wonderful communication & talented with hair- Highly recommend this salon!

Great experience! Loved my cut and highlights. Have already made another appointment.

It was good the service was good the place was neat and clean the lady who did my hair was very kind and nice and always had a conversation so she wasn't dry at all recommended coming here

A very unfortunate and upsetting experience. The stylist was unqualified to do a perm and yet she went ahead and under the occasional supervision of who I assume is the owner - continued to butcher the perm I wanted. I left with agonizing scalp pain and limp flat hair. When I returned and all I wanted was to put this unfortunate incident behind me, she refused to provide a refund. At the end, and after much argument and with taking zero responsibility, she did provide that refund and lost not only one but 2 customers and we will for sure spread the "good" word. There are so many hair salons in this area. Stay away from this one. I'm not even mentioning the rough treatment I received by the "stylist" who didn't miss an opportunity to yank at my hair despite seeing in how much pain I was. Awful. Just awful. The photos show my hair 2 hours after the "perm". And in reply to their reply. Offer to work with me on my goals is laughable. They either know what their doing or not. They knew very well my time constraints and I explained to them in no uncertain terms that I do not have the time to come back as I am caregiving for a sick person. I now washed my hair and it is ruined. It is limp, frail and a frizzy mess. If she thought she can correct it with more chemicals and more hair pulling she is obviously delusional.

Thank you Ashley for being so careful with my fragile blonde highlights. My hair has never looked better. Annie
