Vogue Salon & Spa

Long review but worth your time if you cherish your hair. I had the worst hair experience of my life here. I have very fine, thin, hair that takes a long time to grow. I had been growing it out for a year and a half and it was finally shoulder length. Due to my hair type I am very nervous to go to just anyone. I should have ran the other way when the stylist, Amanda, greeted me wearing Mickey Mouse pajamas. She informed me it was pajama day. I thought it was cute at first been then I realized that would be indicative of the type of professionalism I would receive. I told her of my hesitation and that I had bad experience with another stylist cutting «holes,» in my hair and layers that were very short. She assured me that she had gone to Paul Mitchell hair school and had years of experience so I went ahead with the cut. I am a licensed stylist in New York State and have just moved here and relayed that to her. We talked about schooling, etc, and she led me to believe she understood my concerns and would just give me, «shape.» I told her I wanted no more than a half an inch off and I did not really want layers in my hair just a light shaping. As she cut she held my hair in such a way I did not see what she was taking off in the mirror. When she was done I could not tell how short it was because she did not style it only dried it. She asked me if I wanted to go home and style myself as I was a stylist myself. I said that would be fine. She charged me $ 40 despite not doing a thing to style my hair. At this point I had no idea how bad it was. I gave her a $ 10 tip since it was the holiday season. When I got home I looked in the mirror and started grabbing my hair and immediately started crying. I had up to six inches taken off in some places!!! She had gave me a butchered layered cut that was not only uneven but left me looking like a bowl cut on top and a mullet on the bottom. I cried for over an hour I was so upset. When my husband contacted Amanda he was angry and left a message saying that he wanted to talk to management right away. She sent him very rude and nasty texts threatening him with her husband. She refused to apologize and repeatedly bashed myself and my husband via text, all the while threatening that if we contacted her again she would send her husband or the police after us. I simply wanted an apology and my money back. I received neither. She was very unprofessional and immature. A friend in NY with over 20 years experience had to fix my hair for me and she was in shock. She took pictures to show hair students what not to do. Bottom line this was horrendous and it will take me another year just to get back to where I was all over a supposed half an inch haircut. Worst experience ever.

This place is terrible — stylists are «independent» and the owner does not care what they do to you. I had to go someplace else to get color and haircut fixed because the stylist simply didn’t know what she was doing. The others all stood around and watched it happen without saying a word.

Love this place. Jack Linder is the only person that has consistently cut my hair to perfection! He also cuts my wife’s hair as well as numerous friends. I would recommend him to anyone who wants a great haircut male or female!
