Best hair of my life--hands down…read more
After a botched root touch-up at another salon in Yaphank, I was left with dark roots and didn't feel like my bleach-blonde self. I reached out to several salons asking to be contacted by text (since that's easiest for me), and Jess from The Beach House Salon was the only one who actually did. She responded quickly, asked for photos, and personally followed up--yes, the owner herself.
When I arrived two weeks later, I was blown away. The salon is absolutely beautiful--cozy, beachy, and inviting. As someone raised on the California coast, it instantly felt like home. Jess explained everything clearly, with patience and kindness. I had a few bad experiences before, and she made me feel completely taken care of and never judged.
She gave me baby lights, brighter highlights underneath (just how I asked), a Moroccan Oil nourishing treatment, a trim, a blowout--and my hair has never looked better. I've seen stylists across multiple states who couldn't get it right, and Jess nailed it on the first try. A golden, short blonde bob with my natural color showing through as highlights, but no depth or natural tone on the bottom half of my hair. It looks just like my inspo photo.
Yes, it cost more than what I've paid before, but it was absolutely worth it for a full correction. I'd pay it again in a heartbeat. Everyone there made me feel welcome, like an old friend. I already booked my next appointment.
They also have a small jewelry section inside the salon with some nice pieces--perfect if you're looking for a gift or something for yourself. If my memory serves me right, I also saw a few woven summer hats. Perfect for the beach. The salon works with a local jeweler who, I believe Jess said, curates the window display each month.
If you're just waiting while someone gets their hair done, there are comfy chairs inside with a great selection of books. Outside, you'll find two benches and a table in front of the salon, and just behind it--next to the parking lot--there's a small park with green grass, flowers, and more benches. The whole neighborhood has a really nice feel, with several shops, places to eat or grab a drink, a bar, and even a movie theater right next door. It's a clean, charming area that's perfect for a stroll. You'll have no trouble finding something to do while you wait. And of course--the beach is right here too.
For parking: there's a small public lot on Glovers Lane, just a few yards past the salon on the left. It's free, and I had no trouble leaving my car there for a few hours. Probably 10-15 spaces total.
Honestly, the whole experience--from the neighborhood to the salon to Jess herself--was just amazing. If your hair needs help, or you just want a stylist who gets it, call Jess or one of the other stylists who work here. They're the real deal.
