Support LOCAL!…read more Shoot! This review has been in my drafts over three years! Wth! Anyway, it still stands. This review is more of the personality and character of the owner more than the services she offers because I've never had an actual service here. So this is character witness of sorts and judging from the full house each time I stop by to conduct business, I'm assuming she has her ish together. Ms. Maison is super! Friendly yet firm and gives back to the Valley Stream community. She is very kind and compassionate and I really like her vibe. She's also a generous soul. She and her staff and many clients are mostly Hispanic descent so if Espanol is your first or preferred language, you'll feel at home here. Alongside the usual services offered by hair salons, they have special discount packages for prom, wedding etc. Men, don't feel left out, plenty of time on my visits her chair has been occupied by a male and they seem to love it! Come on Valley Stream! Support local! The End.

I really, really like Ion.

I was able to revisit Ion Studio last week when I came to town for the holidays, and am super happy with the color and cut I got from Shannon and Andrew. The salon is still using Davines, which as far as I know is still an independently-owned beauty brand out of Italy, and their products are great. More importantly, the colorists and stylists there take great care with your hair. I hope to be back again soon.

My hair is super thick and always gets flat really easily. It was time for a cut after seeing…read moremyself in some photos with long flat hair, and my friend Sydnee recommended this place! I called and made an appointment with Yannick a week early and was very nervous! The salon is definitely on the more expensive side, which always makes me a bit anxious because my expectations also becomes higher. The day of I had to call and reschedule due to some conflict in my schedule and eventually arrive an hour late. The staff was warm and nice and told me not to worry about it. They were able to push my appointment back luckily, which I really appreciate! The salon is located inside a building toward the back. The only way to find it is a small sign that is placed outside the front door. The studio itself is gorgeous with a relaxing atmosphere. When I arrived Yannick greeted me right away and settled me in taking my coat etc etc and offering water. We chatted for a bit about what I was looking for and what I absolutely did not want ( choppy layers ). He assured me not to worry and we headed off to wash my hair. During the whole process I felt pampered and relaxed. I get anxious easily at salons but this place really made me feel comfortable. I enjoyed their music as well ( hipster indie slow stuff ) which really set the mood and reminded me a little bit of cali for a bit. Yannick combed out my hair very thoroughly and washed my hair himself. He was very intricate and detailed oriented! I thought he was don't several times but he told me he had only worked on one part and had to do another. By the end of the hair cut I felt that he knew my hair much better than I ever did. It was amazing! My hair looked amazing and felt amazing after. I had told him I was going on a date after so he offered to make some natural waves for me and also showed me some tricks! Ion studio is on the pricier side but definitely worth it. I believe I have finally found my go to place in the city for my hair cuts :)!

His new salon (Cédric) is beautiful, clean and they're using some fabulous french products.

She mixed a GREAT color and gave me a deep conditioner. Plus a great haircut to blend the weird growing out mess of a dizzzzzzaster I had when bleached.

I met Jada after a few years of a bit…read moreof colorist hopping which meant she had A LOT of different shades/growth to blend together - and boy DID SHE! She did such a fantastic job I haven't let anyone else color my hair since! She always does an excellent job nailing a vibrant and long-lasting (ammonia-free) red that ALWAYS gets compliments...even as it fades and all I can see in the mirror are my roots - I'm STILL getting compliments on the color! Jada instantly impressed me from the start with her great care to detail (less dye-stains on your forehead & every little whisp of hair COVERED!) but - even better over 9 years in....I truly feel like I've found a friend! I love coming in and catching up on the myriad of topics we've covered in our lives through the years. She's a keeper - so go meet her! p.s. this is more a review for Jada specifically but the salon itself is clean and sleek (I've enjoyed the photography/art on the walls as I chill with my head in the sinks!) - and all are more than welcoming and kind inside!

I walked in for my appointment and they were busy but took me right away. It's a small place, but totally fine. Joel (spelling?) did my hair and he was AMAZING. He was really attentive and listened to my requests (my hair is a messy situation so I'm very specific about what I want). I showed him a picture of a blowout I once got a little while ago to give him an example of how I want to look and he said "I can do that, but make it better," AND HE DID! He was friendly, hilarious, and kept up conversation the whole time to make my experience there a good one. I would definitely go back. PS- I took a flyer with their regular price information and it's very affordable, especially for the Murray Hill area.

I have also bought a few Paul Mitchell products from them for reasonable prices. I would recommend this salon, they are a small business that cares.
