O'Bella Hair Salon in Port Jefferson Station, NY

Did a wonderful job on my hair and my daughter's hair. Took the time and effort to listen to our needs . Friendly and professional

NOTE** This review could have been avoided if the manager/ owner returned my phone calls/ fb msgs. I know, from experience, how damaging poor reviews can be to your business. When making the appointment I spoke to a young lady who passed me on to a more mature sounding female after telling her I'd never been there before. I told her that I have "short and funky" hair and was looking for a stylist who was good with short hair. I walked into the salon for my appointment and met the stylist, I have decided not to use her name, and showed her 4 pics of women who had the hairstyle I wanted. She said, "I didn't know I would be doing a MEN'S HAIRCUT." She preceded to say she didn't have her clippers on her and the receptionist was new and didn't ask the right questions. 1. The last time I checked hair didn't have a gender assigned to it. 2. Why don't you have your clippers and couldn't you have borrowed another stylists? 3. I have never made an appointment at any salon and told them more than the fact that I have short hair. I'm not trying to get anyone in trouble with this post. I'm sure the stylist is a good person and didn't mean anything by it. She honestly seemed very uncomfortable for whatever reason. I THINK THE LANGUAGE NEEDS TO CHANGE: I would not want anyone struggling with their sexuality or gender identity to experience this. (As I did growing up on Long Island in the 90s) I would absolutely avoid this salon if you are a member of the LGBTQ+ COMMUNITY or are looking for something outside of the norm. Based on their yelp reviews there is a trend of rudeness, unprofessionalism, and discrimination. I'm sure MOST businesses would want everyone to feel welcome and accepted into their salon... but this is not one of them. Suggestions for the owner: Speak to your entire staff about the language they use. A rainbow flag sticker on door will help the LGBTQ+ feel welcome and safe, but only if you put in the work to create that safe space FIRST! You have my #.

We called them in regards to our Groupon gift we received. The woman on the phone was nasty and labeled us as "abrupt" because we were questioning that fact that there was additional fees if our hair was longer then shoulder length. Very rude, we won't ever visit such a unprofessional place

Nice place, reasonable prices. Really friendly and personable stylists. I haven't lived everything I've had done there, but I've loved enough to keep going back. Vincenza is now my go-to stylist there, she is so easy to work with. They have Groupon specials too, which I didn't need to use because they gave me the same price without having to purchase one.

Hidden Gem! Vincenza has been doing my Keratin treatments for 3+ years. She has always done a fantastic job, gives a great haircut and is a pleasure to sit with. The owner, Lisa, is accommodating and knowledgeable. Other salons I've been to are overscheduled, stylists are working on more than one person at a time, and leave customers waiting, and then rush through your appointment. O'Bella takes me the moment I walk in, and I don't have to spend the day there. Nice little coffee bar, always fresh snacks & happy funny banter between everyone there. I'd take that over a fancy cappuccino in a tea cup & a holier than thou attitude ANYDAY!
