Erika Cole Salon & Spa

Neil has been doing my coloring for a few years now and recently we tried something new. After a few washes I still can’t get over how amazing it looks! Natural and complements my skin tone. He is a true artist!

One of the worst experiences in my life. My hair is ruined 200 dollars later. I had to call the syosset salon because the management at Plainview is NOT professional at all.

For Facials: Anna is amazing. She is incredibly passionate about what she does and making it a special experience for her clients. My facial with her was way more than a beauty treatment. I felt so pampered and held, supported and connected. On top of that, Anna is extremely knowledgeable and was able to diagnose my skin and its needs expertly. Anna will really take care of you — highly, highly recommended! The facility is also beautiful and adds to the experience.

I love highlights by Daniell! She’s the best n experienced colorist I find in this area… Also Peggy did a gr8 job in cutting n styling my hair. This place is expensive; Gud for highlights.

Had a wonderful experience at Erika Cole. Had my hair colored (balayage) by Matt. I was blown away by the job that he did. I didn’t want anything drastic or too dramatic because I have a professional job — but I just wanted a change. He was extremely friendly and comforted me through the whole experience (I’m not good with change!) From the moment I got there I was treated very nicely! Front desk staff was super accommodating and brought water, coffee at my request! Will definitely be back!

The first time I had a Keratin treatment done was last year by Joanna, after that I had the treatment done by two other technicians. Joanna did my hair again this past Friday and going forward she is the only stylist that I will let touch my hair to do this process. She listened to my concerns, was extremely attentive and wanted to make sure that I was happy. I love how my hair came out and she knew exactly how I wanted it done. Thank you Joanna!

I love Peggy there. She is one of the best. I have been going to her for so many years. And she has always take. Such good care of me. Thank you so much and love u to pieces.

This review is for the salon’s front desk help and hair services ONLY. I do not have experience with their other services.
I’ve been to this location several times now. I keep hoping it will get better and I keep trying different stylists. However, my experience always gets WORSE — and this last time was the last straw.
For starters, the people at this location are rude. They’re short with you on the phone, obnoxious when you show up, and impatient when asking questions about their services. One time, they even left me waiting for 30 minutes while my stylist casually strolled in late.
The worst part though is that every single haircut I’ve ever gotten at this place has been horrible. I’ve had to go back and get it reworked EVERY TIME.
And it’s not cheap!!!
But this past experience I made the ultimate mistake and tried getting my hair colored. The woman that did my hair totally BOTCHED the color!!! She even tried to redo it and now I’m left with an even bigger mess. The worst part is that I don’t want to go back to have them fix it because I seriously don’t trust that they’re capable.
I’m just done. 3 strikes — you’re out. I feel like an idiot for giving them the benefit of the doubt. Clearly they don’t do their due diligence when hiring people. Go elsewhere.

I got my hair highlighted by Vicky and was so happy with the result. I am only visiting as I live in Miami but she gave me the best color I have had in a long time. I cannot wait to come back to ny for her to do my hair again. Peggy also cut my daughters hair and did an amazing job and was patient with my 3 year old. I highly recommend both Peggy and Vicky. We also got great manicures her as well (I forgot the lady’s name who did them). Great salon!

This is the most amazing hair place! Joanna gave me a single process color. After dying my hair for over four years and getting highlights, I needed a change. I went back to my natural color brown and she did the most amazing job! I was beyond happy with the way my hair came out. Peggy does my blowouts and haircut. My hair always feels amazing and so soft. My hair is also really curly and she always manages to get it pin straight. I highly recommend using this place. The customer service is outstanding here – a really warm and welcoming place for sure! Definitely ask for Joanna and Peggy!

Neil McKeon has been my colorist for over 10 years. I would not consider using another colorist. I would highly recommend his work.

There was no option for the Massapequa locations:
First off I have to say I am never one to say or write anything negative. I think it’s ridiculous people complain. But that’s how poor my experience was. I purchased a groupon for a full head of highlights cut and blow dry. I was a server I know what it was like to get someone with a groupon and get poorly tipped. That’s just not me. I tip well because I know what it’s like to not get a generous tip. So for starters, the girl rushed through the entire process. The highlights were maybe about 13 foils. I have thick hair and I know a full head of highlights takes way more then that. After the color was done I got a haircut. She literally cut my hair for maybe one minute. I asked for layers and a trim and my hair is uneven and flat looking. She blew out my hair by far THE worst blowout I’ve ever gotten and then at the end did a poor attempt at curls. Literally the worst hair experience I’ve ever had. I would NOT recommend Jenn at all and I’m seriously upset I wasted my money. If they are gonna offer Groupon at least try to give the customers people who actually care about there work. Thanks.

After a series of salon mishaps, I finally came to Unique in hopes of finding the right hair stylist for me… Since then, I have been seeing Jaime… Shes so sweet and kind and really listens to what you want for your hair, and shes honest! My issue was finding a stylist who wouldnt lie to me when I asked if my hair was damaged. A bit on the pricer side but worth it! :)

I went to Unique Salon in Plainview for a blow-​dry on a Tuesday. JoAnn was the hair stylist. She was excellent. She took her time and also used a curling iron so the style would last. The price for a blow-​dry is $ 25 on Monday and Tuesday goes up to $ 40 on the other days.

I am so glad I came to Unique Hair Salon in Plainview. I got a haircut and highlights; I went to Kaitlyn. She did such an amazing job! The first time, my highlights came out lighter than I expected, and so I requested to make it little darker; and she was sooo sweet about it and we went back to the color station. I am so glad I did, and even gladder that she listened. She really listens to what you have to say.
The people are nice and the atmosphere is cheery.
Thank you Kaitlyn! I am definitely going back again.

I went here as part of a bridal party for hair and makeup. I’m very glad I did. The entire staff was super friendly and made me feel welcome and comfortable from the moment I walked in the door. Ana did makeup for myself, the bride and two other bridesmaids. She is great at what she does, takes the time to go over everything with you and makes sure you get the look you want. Peggy did my hair as well as one of the other bridesmaids and she did a fantastic job. Both Peggy and Ana are two of the nicest people I’ve ever met. The bride and the other bridesmaid both used the same hairstylist (I believe her name is Ashley) and they looked stunning.
All around, a great experience. Clean salon, courteous & professional staff — I highly recommend them!

I was nervous coming to the salon to get highlights, but I’m glad I did. I had Kaitlin, who did a great job. My hair looked great. I will definitely come back.

Came here with a groupon for a shellac mani and «unique» pedi and was happy I did. They had a fantastic selection of shellac colors and essie polishes. I got both a french shellac and pedi.
The shellac manicure was fantastic, and I am most definitely a shellac snob. I do shellac myself, as well as always being on the hunt to find a great place to get it done when I don’t feel like doing it myself– and this place is a gem for shellac! Many places will offer shellac manicures, but not use all proper CND products or proper cure time– that is not the case here. They use all CND/​shellac products from the base coat to the curing lamp (very important for it to last-​CND only guarantees 2 weeks of wear with all proper application/​polishes/​lamp). The shellac was not rushed at all, and she did a fantastic job on application and the french.
My pedicure was nice as well, nothing special though. The only thing I did not care for was the massage pedicure chairs, very old and actually not enjoyable massage. And if your looking for a fantastic leg massage, that’s not going to happen either. Other than that, my pedi came out looking great.
Recommended, especially for shellac manis!

I bought a facial through Amazon for $ 35. I just had the best facial of my life. I couldn’t wait to Unilocal about it. Ana, my esthetician, is a sweet and nuturing. My skin feels amazing. There was no up selling at all, just quality service. I almost want to keep her to myself, but I won’t because I love to Unilocal!I’ll be back for certain!

I was told over the phone I could upgrade my groupon no problem once I arrived was told i can play the difference after services. at checkout was charged full price for color rather than just the upgrade fee. I was talked down to when I was explaining myself as if I was stupid and not understanding them but they wouldn’t listen to me explain myself. I was rushed out so they could have the next client pay. Even at check in they couldn’t find my reservation the hostess looked at me and says you are in unique salon as If I didn’t know where I walked into. How about you are the idiots not me
Would never go back

Went for a shellac manicure with Barbara at the Massapequa salon today. FANTASTIC! Barbara is very experienced and did an excellent job! I showed her an example of something I loved and she nailed it. Can’t wait to go back. The salon is adorable with nice accessories for sale as well. The receptionist is a doll. Everyone I spoke to was extremely polite and professional. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

Went in today for a mini facial and a massage, and it was incredible! The salon itself is very beautiful, and the staff was welcoming and friendly.
Sue gave me a facial, and my skin looks and feels amazing.
Andrea gave me a great massage with just the right amount of pressure (I prefer medium to heavy pressure).
Both Sue and Andrea were an absolute pleasure! It was a great evening! Thanks, ladies!

I was a little nervous about making a last minute appointment to get an up-​do for this outdoor wedding reception I’m going to today, BUT I was pleasantly surprised to find that Ashley did a beautiful job with my hair (and she was quick because of my time constraints which was much appreciated). I love my up do!
Thanks to Ashley, I even had a few minutes to get my eye make-​up done by Anna. She is the first make-​up artist I’ve ever worked with who actually listened to my preferences and when I left I felt like beautifully transformed.
I will definitely be returning to Unique for future events!

It has taken me years to find a salon that really understands my hair. I have thick and wavy hair, which takes about 30 minutes to blow dry. TORTURE!!!
I came across «NEIL». (My Girlfriends Daughter was the salon’s hair washer.)
I LOVE HIM! I am a plus size girl. with troublesome hair … and took on the challenge and VOILA, I got the greatest haircut EVER!!!
HIGHLY recommend …
The salon itself can be a little overwhelming. Very loud, very busy and a whole of shopping to be had! The pocketbooks, the clothing, the jewelry, the sunglasses. the hair products! Lots to take in!!! I wish the jewelry was a little cheaper, cause they have some really cute things!
All in all. UNIQUE SALON is an A++ !!!
