NOTICE TO ALL PEOPLE WITH HAIR: I (most regretfully) went to GIRASOLÉ for a cut the other day. Now this is where I’m a moron. I had been there a couple of times before, after checking out the website. It looked good. price range…proximity …pictures of sample cuts…(and my all encompassing love for sunflowers. You know, Important stuff like that.) The first time I went, I saw a “Master Stylist. Pretty exciting right? The stylist I went to (in WOODBURY) before the pandemic, selfishly decided not to come back afterwards.😭 She was AMAZING! (Like if there was a “Hall of Hairstylists” museum, she would have a whole exhibition of her own!) Over the years I followed her from Huntington to Cold Spring Harbor and then back to Woodbury. (I’m nothing if not devoted) Well, The Master at Girasole went to work fabulizing my hair. All I wanted was some nice long layers. I have fabulous hair (if I do day so myself 😌) and my former cuts were so amazing I probably haven’t put styling products in my hair for years. The Girasole Master stylist cut my hair like she knew what she was doing. (Good sign, right?) She blew it out and it looked nice-ish. I know that stylists don’t always nail it first go around. So no biggie. I can give myself a fabulous blowout. So the next day I washed it and started blowing it out. It was like she just mimed cutting my hair. Same length, same overgrown layers, bank balance $65 smaller. Ok. I try again a few months later. Same girl, more pictures, same outcome. So I’m done with her. Maybe she’s not for me. Next up I try someone else. She was nice and seemed (again) to know what she was doing. Snipping away to put the texture I wanted in my hair. I brought the same pictures annnnd got the same result. Girasole’s patented imaginary layers. My hair had gone another invisible transformation! (My imaginary friends liked it, but I think they were just being polite)
As you can imagine I loved giving $65 (plus tips) away for no reason. I went home and immediately put a wooly cap on and started looking for another Salon. I hadn’t managed to find one in time for a function, so I rolled the dice on Girasole one more time, and came up SNAKE EYES! This time the girl who cut my hair took well over an hour to do it (my style is a 30 minute job from start to finish. Always has been) This time I brought SEVERAL pictures of what I wanted. And kinda walked her thru it a bit. I now have hair that seems to be sorta layered on one side, and on the other side the layers look like Jodi Foster when she lopped off all her hair in The Accused. They are shorter and stick out instead of being softly layered to blend in to the lower layers of my hair. (S**t…I’ve seen tutorials of it online and it doesn’t seem all that difficult) So I flushed $65 down the toilet…kicked myself for my misplaced benefit of the doubt and will probably burst into tears anytime I see a sunflower! 🌻
I have however found my silver lining! I can post this review in about 18,000 different places. Some can be removed, some not. But I’ll tell you this much. I gave a review of my Dentist office on Yelp and have already lost him NINETY-EIGHT potential clients. (And those are just the ones who reacted!) No more benefit of the doubt with me. If you suck, I will happily do my civic duty to make sure all of Babylon doesn’t end up looking like the Scarecrow from the Wizard of Oz! Or a toothless hobo standing next to a 50 gallon drum that’s on fire and enjoying beans he’s eating from an old boot!

Lisa is easily my favorite stylist I have ever gone to. From the first day I met her, she has always been such an easy person to talk to, has made me feel comfortable and has understood exactly what I’m looking for. Thank you, Lisa for consistently making me feel my best and for making days in the salon feel like days catching up with a friend. You are simply the best ♥️

This is the best salon !!! I especially love my hair stylist Lisa. She is amazing. Every time I go there I never know what I want to do to my hair but she is so patient with me. Every time I leave the salon my hair looks amazing thanks to her. I can’t recommend her enough!

I love Girasole & the very talented team that works there. Rita has been doing my hair since 2006 & She is Amazing. My color always looks amazing & I get so many compliments. Kim usually cuts my hair & she is so nice & always leaves my hair looking so healthy. Nothing better than leaving the salon looking & feeling like a new woman!
-They are also following all of the Covid 19 guidelines. =-]

Love everything about this place. The staff is wonderful, the facility is clean. I use Danielle for coloring and would recommend her to anyone and Lindsay cuts my hair perfectly each time.
