Zoe Salon

My hair came out nice but way too expensive for what I had done. I will not be back because of the high prices.

I cannot express how ecstatically happy I am that I found this place on Unilocal… I was so fed up with my hair & ending up with the same disappointment in a haircut for the past few years (cutting it too short, then spending 6 months growing it back out to a length I like, then needing a hair cut desperately) that I was tempted to go to that school salon on new dorp lane just because no matter how bad they’d have messed it up, it would’ve been cheap & manageable into a ponytail at least.
Well Thank whatever higher power that Literally last minute I thought to myself — let me call that place I have bookmarked & see if they have anything open for today… & they did, I was seen not even an hour later. I have more than a hunch I wouldn’t be having a good day had I gone with my alternate plan.
So, Walking into the salon, it’s GORGEOUS! The décor is seriously so tasteful. Not tacky & over glitzy, but definitely glam, but tasteful with earthy relaxing tones & textures.
Second thing I notice — beautiful hair… Not one person (customer nor employee) has bad hair — that’s a great sign! I immediately felt the anxiety I had going to get my hair cut in a new place, melt away. Whew!
I had an appointment with Lisa — she was so pleasant, polite, & seemed effortlessly confident with my hair. Also a good sign, most people panic when they see thick, naturally wavy hair… That was also waist length. I didn’t even wash it that day, straighten it, I’m lucky I brushed it I’ve been so sick of my hair. I sat down, took the clip out & let down my mess of hair, she looked at it, we discussed what I wanted, showed a couple photos off Pinterest, & went for my shampoo. She didn’t even have any hesitation about the photos I showed her, o was shocked & relived at the same time. Yay, this is good!
The shampoo was wonderful, not too hot or cold, no pulling or clunking my head in the sink scrubbing or soap or water on my face. 2 thumbs up for that! Not always a relaxing experience, this was good! No complaints.
Back to the chair, Lisa combed through my hair & started her magic. As soon as she started cutting, I could see that it was exactly what I wanted, she was so graceful with my massive amount of long hair & didn’t seem to struggle with it at all. My hair looked & felt a ton better before she even started blow drying, so much lighter! Once she started drying, I was impressed — most people wind up with a lot of frizz when starting to dry my hair, it was an amazing blow out — it looks sleek & shiny as if I flat ironed it, curled & voluminous as if I used hot rollers & curled it to perfection… With just a blow dryer & 1 round brush. I’d totally come back just for a blow out even!
So pleased with my hair, I didn’t lose much length, as I wanted, but added a ton of layers & my hair is so gorgeous & bouncy & perfect. This hair cut seriously made my entire year so far — no joke! I feel like a whole new person finally after being a first time mom & slacking on my appearance for a year (maybe 2?). My hair looks amazing. I wish I took a before & after photo because it’s amazing that ‘This’ even came from what I had. I went from looking like the cowardly lion to a Victoria’s Secret model (hair wise, lol). I went out to lunch with my husband & son after & had 2 compliments at lunch! Super awesome — I can’t even stop touching my hair, it’s so light & silky. I love it. I will definitely be back — I’m sooo happy!
Thanks so much Zoe Salon & Lisa!!!

I always have an amazing experience at Zoe. Everyone is friendly and welcoming as well as professional. Specifically, Alyson who does my hair for every event I attend. She does beautiful updos on me for all occasions and I leave there feeling beyond satisfied and glamorous! Alyson is accommodating to what I want and knowledgable of how to perfect every look! She has cut, colored and styled my hair and I highly suggest Alyson as a stylist! Very impressed by her work!

Had to update based on my color. Not good. :(I went back to Lisa for a color after consulting with her at my cut appointment. She said baliage (sp?) was the best technique for what I wanted (I brought in a picture). I agreed even though it was more expensive than highlights. When she was done, I couldn’t see any difference from before. My hair looked exactly the same. I called the next day and told them I wasn’t happy with my color. They were glad to book a Redo for no additional charge and I came in on Sunday. Lisa was very nice about the whole thing. I told her I really wanted full highlights (I brought in the picture I had originally brought in and said I wanted what was shown). She used foil this time and did a glaze after. She didn’t use any colors, but instead just used a lightener. At first I thought it looked good and I left happy, but once I made it to my car and took a closer look I realized it was not well done. The highlights look like stripes in my hair, really chunky and aggressive. I’ve been getting my hair highlighted for years and I’m pretty sure this look was caused by how she sectioned the hair (taking large pieces instead of very fine sections). I really hate it. I don’t feel comfortable calling to have her fix it again, though. I’m hoping I can get it covered. I feel pretty embarrassed walking around with it how it is.
Two stars because I still like my haircut and Lisa is very nice, but I wouldn’t get my color done there. Disappointed.

I’m a big fan of Sunday appointments. Lisa was able to take me first thing and did a fantastic job. Looking forward to going again.

I went there a few months ago. After having read all these nice reviews I made an appointment. The place itself is very nice, but the receptionist wasn’t friendly at all. The stylist, named Gaby, was pretentious and unprofessional. I needed a simple haircut. I have long thick hair so it needed to be cut straight. Gaby did not do any sectioning on my hair, she kept asking if i wanted layers, but I refused. so she just cut it all in a straight line, pressing my hair with her palm to my back hmm… Gaby did a very quick and sloppy job. The worst haircut I’ve ever had, it was very disappointing!

Amazing stylists. Comfortable and elegant atmosphere with friendly staff and warm hearts. My complimentary coffee was always offered (and perfectly made of me.) All stylists worked together; definite sisterhood, which I loved. Rates were right on; not cheap but I got more than what I paid for, in my opinion. High quality but humbly served; it was awesome.

I’ve usually only went to the city to get my hair done and was looking for a place closer to home. I was recommended to try Zoe Salon and I could not be more happy! Lisa does my hair and she is absolutely talented and a total pleasure! I cannot see myself going any place else. Thank you Lisa for your amazing skills!

I moved to the Island 3 years ago from Queens. After 16 years with the same stylist I did not want to change but the trip was becoming tedious and expensive. I read about Zoe’s on Unilocal and decided to give Claudia a try. Well I am very happy with the results not only are the staff really friendly Claudia talked to me about what i wanted and made a few positive suggestions. I found my new place!

I have been going to Diane at Zoe Salon for years. Diane is a great colorist and I love how she styles my hair. It is not like most salons. It is charming, and all of the girls that work there are great. I love watching other people getting their hair styled. Every time I go I see people leaving so happy with their stylist. They are all experienced. I can sit in the chair, ask Diane her opinion and and I am always happy with the results. You can book your appointment online, which I love!

I have been going to Gaby for almost a year and love my hair more than the last time I go! She is an amazing colorist who listens and does what the client asks for. She likes to put her own twist into creating the perfect shades. I have been red, blonde, and brown and my hair is still very healthy too! Everyone is a sweetheart and very welcoming in the salon. Prices are so reasonable compared to salons on the island who think there in Manhattan. There is never any waiting and I can book an appointment online to my convenience. If you haven’t tried this salon, call now you won’t be disappointed!

Great atmosphere but mostly talented experienced hairdressers led and owned by Claudia, who is the best at her craft. Dianne makes me look and feel beautiful every time I visit. They all do wonders!

This place is wonderful! First of all I love Lisa. She did the best cut on my little girl who is a bit picky. She even blew out her hair a feat I’ve only done once ever! Jillian is happy Im happy I’m coming back to have my hair done too!

I am new to the area and was trying to find a place to get my hair trimmed. I have a pixie haircut and was really worried about finding the right place that would know what they were doing. I mean let’s be honest its not like there is a lot of people in Staten Island walking around with a pixie haircut.
I read reviews on Zoe Salon and figured let’s give this place a try. I called them and made sure to state that I had the pixie haircut. Immediately they booked me with Claudia for the next day.
I walked into the salon and was just impressed with the set-​up. Its such a cute place. I knew at this point I chose the right place. Claudia sat me down before getting my hair washed. I brought pictures for her to see what I wanted for my hair. She took a look at the pictures and talked me through on what she would be doing and what I thought.
After getting my hair washed she didn’t have to look at the pictures again and just started cutting away. I had full confidence in her cause I could tell she knew what she was doing. The end result was exactly what I wanted and I was extremely happy with the results. I’ll definitely be going back again.

I called Zoe told them my problem over the phone. But they said its better to come in. So i went there and Claudia seen me and was also in shocked in what was up with my hair! I knew my hair was very bad totally !! The salon i use to go really did a bad job just couldn’t go back. So i went to Zoe. Claudia felt so bad how i looked and she took me right away! The staff was very friendly! But when Claudia was done with me. My hair looked awesome! My husband was amazed how i look even my kids said mom u look much much better. Claudia is the best she fixed everything that was wrong and she was gentle because i also have fine hair. There isn’t enough words to describe how she took care of me !! Claudia is a wonderful person! I really definitely recommend this place if u want gorgeous hair!

Super friendly, non-​pretentious staff.
Laid back atmosphere.
Pretty décor.
Reasonable prices.
Great hair!

Claudia works wonders.
I moved to Staten Island about 2 years ago, and I was bouncing from salon to salon trying to find someone who did quality work…
Thanks to Unilocal… I have.
Claudia and her staff are personable and experienced. They are able acheive a balance between what you’re asking for, and what will actually look good.

Found my new salon, thanks to Unilocal.Having recently relocated to SI, I was in search of a salon with a professional feel and warm, friendly staff. Zoe is all that and more. Lisa did an awesome job on my cut and color. A great experience all around. Not inexpensive, but the results are definitely worth the price.

It’s a really great little place. The décor, the feel, the staff all great! The haircuts are better than most other Staten Island salons. I’ve been on the Island for 35 years and I can tell you, this Island has the worst hairdressers. There is no Bumble & Bumble equivalent here. You’ll never find it. But Zoe is a nice alternative to the Manhattan salons. And the 3 out of 4 stars is due to the price. Prices are high. If the haircuts were better than I’d say they were worth it.

I got my hair cut and colored at Zoe for about five years and I would definitely recommend it. Several times when I was on the subway or on the street, random strangers would start talking to me about my hair, asking where I got my highlights (which were three-​toned — dark blonde, light blonde, light brown), so that definitely says something.
Hair is done upstairs and manis/​pedis are down (though I’ve never had one there).
Since this is Staten Island, I’m pretty sure that most of the staff is well-​versed in all «up-​do» desires for Sweet 16’s, proms and weddings, so that’s also something to consider ;).
Zoe also doesn’t rush you, and if you listen to the staff conversations, you’ll find out where to buy the best sandwich in the neighborhood (they order lunch a lot) or where local Island/​Jersey peeps are flocking for a good dinner.
