Although I live locally, I commute to the city, and have struggled to find a convenient hair salon where I'm happy. Ive looked around this area before, but always end up back in the city. I've regularly spent two or three times as much at high end salons in Manhattan with senior stylists/colorists. Well, I'm so happy that I've found Alla, seriously an amazing colorist and stylist, at By George in Monroe. She cut my hair exactly like I wanted and my color is the best it's ever been (single process with a few highlights). She gave me a perfect balance of warm and sunny, blond-ish, natural looking color. The only real thing I miss from fancier salons is the method of hair washing, a favorite few minutes usually. Here it was efficient but no mini head massage included. A plus though, is that the hair washing station chairs and sinks are very comfortable. If you have neck problems, you'll appreciate this a lot. The bottom line, and what really matters, is the great cut and color! I really recommend you give Alla a try. Also, they use great products. My hair feels and looks so much healthier now. read more

A big Thank you for Alla , who gave me a trim. Asked exactly how i wanted it parted a certain way, etc. Did straighten my hair first, which i said that i didn't like- but for today i wanted no change and for it to be curly. She took out her curling iron and curled it up and all looked nice. I've been here before and used to go to brenda, but she has since moved, and like this salon because they use your preferences and it comes out good. The price also isn't bad $45.00 for a wash and a trim. Accepts Cash as well. read more

A big thank you to Kristine who came in on her day off . My color and cut came out fantastic I couldn't be happier. For my first time there I would highly recommend her. Thank you again read more

Awesome service, friendly atmosphere. Alla is amazing. Made an appointment over the phone; they took me in almost immediately. Very customer focused. Prices were comparable to other good salons read more

By George Salon - Red/brown highlights - Day Spas Near Me - Monroe, New York

My boyfriend went in yesterday for a haircut, mind you I am a hairdresser but was too busy to cut his hair for him. I came home to the worst cut I have ever seen. No blending, missed hairs on the shape up. He will NOT be back. Waste of $20 read more

Georgette is amazing. She has been doing my moms hair for many years... now they are great friends. Georgette actually saved my mothers life , intervening when my mom went in to get her hair done and Georgette noticed my mom was looking very ill and encouraged her to go to the Dr. Saved her life. She is skilled in her craft , but also just an amazing person. Love this place. Wish I could give it 10 stars!!! read more

I followed hairstylist, manicurist, depilatory person extraordinaire and all-around great person, Theresa, to the By George Salon when she began working there over a year ago. I have never been disappointed by her work! I get a great hair cut and color every time because Theresa really takes the time to listen to what a client wants--and is realistic about the results based on an individual's hair type and texture. The salon itself is very open and airy, and clean! All of the employees are very friendly. I've had the misfortune in the past of being to hair salons where the attitude is snobby and elitist, not to mention being cauldrons of gossip and cattiness. Not here! At By George, because of kind, down to earth and talented people like Theresa, I feel right at home! I even recruited my mother into being a regular client! I recently moved to Park Ridge, NJ, but do not hesitate in making the trek up to Monroe for my salon appointments. It's a small distance to make for such high quality service! read more

Georgette took my long blah dark rooted hair and gave me perfect highlights! She blended the old and new to perfection. I showed her a pic of a cut and she nailed it! Thank you G! read more

If I could give 0 stars I would. The most unprofessional place I've ever had my hair cut at. I walked in with my friend to get our hair cut. The lady who cut my hair was extremely unprofessional, not to mention RACIST ( my friend is black and was made to feel really uncomfortable even sitting there so he did not get his hair cut). Rude and racist. Oh and the haircut? Uneven and just terrible. I just wanted to get out of there. read more

After spending one summer in Monroe with my family I was so glad I found By George. I visit every 4-6 weeks and now use them exclusively. The shop is clean, the staff is friendly and very good at cuts and color. I've had a color and cut by 4 different members of the staff and have been very happy with my results every time. Give them a try I promise you will not be dissapointed tell them Ginny from Virginia sent you. I would love them to know I sent them more happy customers read more

By George Salon - Day Spas Near Me - Monroe, New York

I used to go here all the time to get my hair done. A few days ago I asked for a VERY SIMPLE touch up on my highlights and a trim. Georgette missed HUGE CHUNKS of my roots and then she hacked off large sections of my hair to "layer it". This is the worst haircut/dye job I've ever had. I'm going to need to spend a small fortune elsewhere getting it fixed. I can't believe I even paid for this, honestly, I think I was just in shock. The terrible cut which I DID NOT ASK FOR bothers me so much more than the terrible job doing my roots, it's going to take MONTHS before my hair looks normal again. I used to come here all the time but I will never, ever go there again and I'm emphatically recommending to everyone I know to never go there again. If I could give zero stars, I would. read more

I never really had a desire to go to Georges salon, honestly didn't look as appealing to me as other ones on the same street. But by default, I went there. The new monroe hair bar had no openings so I walked across the street to George's Salon. I'm very glad I went in. The hair dresser that cut my hair, Alla, took me in right away. The owner was very kind and inviting. I didn't even look or ask how much my haircut would cost, just figured it would be at least fifty dollars. Alla cut my hair, blew it out and styled it, taking extra time on my hair because my hair is so thick and long. She was very informative about how I could take care of my hair. While i was sitting there getting my hair done, I just noticed how everyone at George's Salon treated their customers like family. I really appriciate that kinda warmth and additude. Not only was their service excellent, their prices are great! All that was 40 dollars! I gave Alla a well deserved tip and I walked out of there with a smile on my face and now a new favorite place to get my haircut! read more

One day I stopped by without a an appointment to get my eyebrow waxed. They graciously waxed me right away which I really liked. As my regular salon was too busy too wax me and I had to get it done. They did a great job. The only down side was that I paid double the price. I would go back in a pinch though. read more

WORST SALON EVERR! Way overpriced! Poor quality and to top it off customer service sucks!! Whatever you do, do not go there! Save your money and sanity! Will never go back there! First time and last time! read more

The most friendly and accomodating hair salon EVER. After being ignored at Best Little Hair House I just stopped by for an appointment and they fit me in with Theresa - what a great person and stylist. I loved her and my hair when she was done. I'll be back. Great salon with excellent customer service and very professional. A rarity in Orange County. Just GO! read more

I have been searching for a hair stylist that could cut my curly hair for the past 5 years. I can't tell you how many I have tried. Even when I brought my own photos of my hair and how I like to wear it, I still left all of them with their idea, not mine. I honestly think they are programmed to just give the haircut of the day. Happily I found Georgette at the By George Salon! Again, I brought my own photos in, she spent time looking at them, looking at my hair and actually discussing what she had in mind. Georgette took the time I needed to feel comfortable. She gave me a great haircut! I love it. She listened, she cut and I left feeling listened to and very happy. I can put my search behind. Thank you Georgette. read more

Love Alla! She has always done a good job with my keratin treatment. I had to reschedule an appointment and the receptionist was very unprofessional and extremely inappropriate. I will not be going there again. Sorry Alla... I will miss you... read more

I didn't realize how poorly my hair had been cut until I went to By George and met Alla! She is an amazing colorist and really takes an interest in not only what you want but what will look good! The staff there is wonderful, they're friendly fun ladies! read more

I have been going to By George now for 4 years and have never been disappointed. They are, by far, the most professional salon in our area. The techs respond to each customer, and their individual requests, as if they were dealing with a family member. Please give them a try - you will soon be a fan too. read more

Our entire family has been going to By George for eight years now - very friendly, very accommodating and the prices are right on the mark! My boys never looked so handsome and my daughter is always happy with her cuts! Thank you! read more

I had my first experience at By George Salon yesterday. I needed to have my hair trimmed and roots taken care of for an event on Wednesday. With only a couple of days left, I was hoping beyond hope for an appt. Even though it was the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday, I was amazed when Theresa picked up the phone and said I could come in around 5PM. I later learned that she usually does not work that late, but was doing so to accommodate me. When I arrived, Theresa literally did not touch my hair without speaking to me in detail about what I wanted, and she paid close attention. Theresa had a down to earth, sincere demeanor, and I felt at ease immediately. I told her to use her own judgement with the color and cut, and she did an amazing job. She was fast, professional, and personable, and most of all, she really listened! I definitely plan on returning to By George Salon, and found the prices to be in line with other good salons. The environment was clean and well lit, and it was an overall great experience. Thank you, Theresa, for great service and a great attitude! read more
