Millies Salon

I must say the customer service is not even worth one star. This place really needs to teach the staff how to talk to people

I would give 0 stars for the way I was just treated ! I waited almost an hour passed my appointment time for a 10 minute haircut and a horrible blowout with NO style! Worst experience !

I was very pleased when Yolanda did my hair a few months ago. She did exactly what I wanted! This time my experience wasn’t so great. Millie cut off my dead ends before coloring and told me she will give me a full haircut afterwords. Never happened, but I was charged for a full haircut. I had half-​head highlight and lowlights done (she used maybe four foils for lowlights) but was charged for a full-​head. Then I was charged for deep conditioning for which I never asked! And the whole process took almost 4 hours because She was attending to other customers. Very disappointed, I don’t think I will be coming back anytime soon.

I love the salon Vibe and décor. I go for bang trims, blowouts and highlights. I never have a problem and the staff is great.

Unprofessional service for professional prices!
The manicurist probably just came from Dominican republic… cause she had no idea what manicure is and how to do it. I made her re-​do it and I was telling her how to do it… it took her an hour instead of 20 min… On line it says cut 25 cut and blow 40… they charged me $ 50…hair cut was horrible… None of them are professionals there!!! when I was leaving I was told that the next time… they will charge me $ 5 more…
HA! THEY WILL BE NO NEXT TIME!
THIS PLACE SHOULD BE CLOSED DOWN!

Horrible service and very pricey. they think their in park avenue with their ridiculous prices. then they try to get you to buy products that you can get online for half of the price. ebay, amazon, ect. they are a bunch of dominican money hungry schemers. don’t let them rip you off. they also don’t know anything about hair extentions .its bs. don’t let them charge you $ 50 a track! It’s bs go to corona.
Even if you go there with your hair washed and just want a style they will charge you as if they washed your hair. it’s crazy. stay away.

Don’t remember exact pricing, but a year ago I wanted to dye my hair. I had an EXACT picture of what I wanted, which was a darker brown. I got a red/​blonde/​orange. They originally said that a dye and wash would be 140 something, then they wanted to charge me an extra 50 to blow it, or something to that extent. The stylist asked how much I had on me and when I said 170, she said that was fine. Obviously prices are totally out of whack. I felt like I was almost being hustled because I was young, she probably wanted to get as much as she could out of me! They didn’t even get my color right, and I think the woman knew that because she looked at me with such pity.
Ridiculous prices that they have no business charging and they completely effed up my hair! Went home and dyed it with a box and it turned out great. A box that costed 8 dollars. Save your time and money!

I live near the area and was looking for a convenient place to do my hair. The salon is nice, music is a little loud but comfortable. Yolanda did i great job, but i was in shock after when the bill came out over $ 50… For a trim and blow… They stated a blow was $ 35 and a trim is the same as a cut $ 25… One thing i hated most is that they dont look you in the eye when they speak to you. I truly believe they need to work on their customer service… Their prices are ridiculous…

I was very pleased with the results of my hair color Millie did my hair it came out amazing! I’m new to the neighborhood and was dreading trying to find a new hair dresser my sister in law suggested Millie made the appointment afterwards I started to read some of the reviews on Unilocal .so many bad reviews I was beginning to rethink the appointment. but I was in desperate need of color so I went in anyway. After a bit of trouble trying to get an appt finally I was pleasantly greeted and placed in the color area. with a bit of a wait but gave me time to catch up on magazines. The salon was very busy Millie was running the whole salon while trying to work on customers .But anyway she pulls it off finally the end result was that I was totally pleased with the color !!! And the price was very reasonable!

I sadly have to agree with the bad reviews. I’m new to the area and was looking for a new place to do my hair. When I walked in asked how much were highlights and she told me to do half was $ 65. It wasn’t a bad price so I said let me try it out. At the end when I went to pay my total came to $ 115! I was shocked and when I questioned the price they said its $ 30 to blow out the hair! wtf! I asked the associate if they just let people walk out with wet hair since they charge for blowing it out after color and she said no we blow it out but charge extra for a special blow out. I was so angry
and beyond trying to comprehend and I paid and walked out. Believe me people my hair was blown out normally like every other salon I have gone too. This was by far the biggest SCAM and RIP OFF ever! Be cautious and beware if you go to this place

WORST EXPERIENCE EVER!!!
I brought my grandmother to the salon with me. It was my first time at this salon, and by far the worst and most expensive I’ve been to. According to my receipt the lady that cut my hair was Dominga. I asked for a simple U shaped haircut with layers in the front. I believed she was a student hair dresser because after she cut my hair the other worker (Delfin) that was cutting my grandmother’s hair rushed over to correct what she did to my head. They exchanged some words in spanish and I saw him shake his head and then showed her how to do it correctly. I was a bit flustered that he just roughly cut my hair in under a minute. This is extremely unprofessional… why does it take 2 hair dressers to cut hair? And they had the nerve to charge me $ 55 for a rookie hair cut? I’d love to say it ends here but it doesn’t. Dominga took forever blow drying my hair, burnt my left ear and scalp. I think one of the other hair dressers noticed because she walked over exchanged some words with her and told her to change how she was positioning the blowdryer. *smh I don’t know how they are in business, seriously.
BTW, I asked them why they charged me $ 10 extra for the exact process as my grandma, a wash, cut and blow dry. They apparently charge you extra if you have mid length hair. Obviously never coming back.

I will NEVER go back to this place again!
I needed to get my roots touched up and a haircut so I did some research on the internet and found this place. This place received negative reviews on Unilocal but on this other website it got a whole lot of positive reviews so I decided to try them out only because it was close to where I live. I regret my decision on going there!
Before I went I called and got a quote for a root touch up and hair-​cut. The man on the phone quoted me $ 45 for the root touch up and $ 25 for a hair-​cut. This place was so close to my house I decided to go cause it was convenient, figuring that they couldn’t mess up that bad.
The job that was done on my hair was mediocre. After the stylist colored my hair he washed it out and asks me if I wanted my hair cut, so obviously I said yes. After the cut my hair was soaking wet (mind you, it is below freezing outside) then he asks if I wanted it dry (I was wondering why he asked me if I wanted it dry, I thought it was standard procedure). So after everything I went to go pay and noticed that the hair stylist jacked up the price of the coloring to $ 50 and charged me another $ 50 for the cut and dry.
I have never paid extra just to dry my soaked hair at other salons. It is just ridiculous, and the fact that they didn’t even tell they would charge me extra to dry my hair, it was so shady of them! It’s actually pretty silly that hair salons out there would charge to dry hair! LOL
Well I’ve learned my lesson and I will definately go by Unilocal reviews from here on out.
They lost my business by not being honest with me, NEVER AGAIN!

Millie’s Salon & Spa is a JOKE. I went there for a Keratin treatment last week. She supposedly used 5 Ounces of product. Mind you, every other Keratin treatment I’ve ever had in the past 5 years was 2 ounces. My hair has been the same length for 10 years so there was no reason for the 3 extra ounces OTHER THAN THE FACT THAT MILLIE IS A CROOK AND CHARGES $ 75 per ounce. She didn’t even warn me that she was using so much. With her BULL***T discount my tab should of been around $ 200.00. When I was all done my tab was almost $ 400.00. Mind you, I came home with burns all over my head from her ridiculous flat ironing. I am still peeling scabs off from the sides of my head.
She’s an asshole and a crook. Her work isn’t worth a quarter of what she charges.

If you like your health DO NOT go to this salon!!! I had the worst experience here that ended up in a visit to the ER with chemical inhalation! If I could give less stars I would!
After inquiring multiple times BEFORE getting a Brazilian Keratin treatment, I was assured it was safe and okay to get the treatment. During the treatment my eyes were burning and I could not breathe. Needless to say I ended up in the hospital due to their negligence in applying the treatment and lack of ventilation. There is 1 good staff member there that is really sweet and can actually do hair, however the owner is a liar, incompetent, rude, and does not know what customer service is at all. Needless to say after a lot of back and forth, and reports to the BBB, I am STILL waiting for a refund that was promised to me along with damages. Instead of wasting my time going through courts to get this money I will just let everyone know to avoid this salon at all costs. I do not mind paying for good quality service, however this was never given here (after giving them multiple chances to get it right)…instead I ended up with ER bills and loss wages from work. They attempt to be a high quality salon purely due to their location, but they miss the mark completely on this one. Save yourself the headache and find another salon!

Unfortunately, I had to agree with another Unilocaler that it was impossible for me to book an appointment in February 2012 because they were all booked up until the middle of March 2012. I had the option of putting my name on a waiting list, but they never called me back so probably nobody cancelled. I was even willing to take a day off if needed.
I did have a Groupon, but luckily, I was able to get my refund back. I was thinking about coming here for other services, but based on the lack of flexibility on Millie’s Salon & Spa’s part, I’m weary about this place. Their hours are weird too and every time I pass by, they are closed and I think they close pretty early. They are also closed on Tuesdays according to the website.

I haven’t even been here yet, but the encounters I’ve had trying to book an appointment were horrible. I purchased the couple’s massage and facial from groupon and have been trying to make an appointment. This is the second time I’ve called and they pretty much make it impossible for you to use the groupon. They claim to be booked all day every weekend 6 – 7 weeks out and the last appointment on a weekdays are 4pm– except Monday and Tuesday– when they’re CLOSED.
The receptionist actually suggested multiple times that I just try to get a refund from groupon. It’s clear they have no interest in providing the services I paid for. Unless both my bf and I can take off work to get out there in the middle of the day on Wednesday or Thursday.
I wish I’d read the Unilocal reviews first. Now I’ve wasted my time and money, but perhaps saved myself from an eye infection and lice– ick.

Before I begin, I will admit that I am picky and I love my massages to be «hard» or «rough», considering that I do boxing… those would be the perfect massages for me.
Upon entering the premises, the front desk individual was very polite and she greeted us with a warm welcoming. My friend and I were actually expecting one of the two scenarios: 1. a hole in the wall that is shady and has those Asian females offering happy endings or 2. Something completely ghetto and it would scare us away. What we found? A really nice salon that was clean and people were busy styling and cutting hair. My thought was «where the hell is the massaging area?» and lo behold, we were taken to the back behind two double doors. The waiting area also doubles as a pedicure area. Not all that calming considering I am used to spa’s with classical/​white noise music and people talking in whispers. I will admit, I am spoiled like that. Anywhoots, that wasn’t much of a big deal to me. My friend discovered the candy dish with the tootsie rolls, which was a good finding. I spotted the wine too but I don’t think it was drinkable… it was under the glass table. We waited about 10 – 15 minutes before we were taken to our rooms. I was expecting a room to myself but nope! The room was shared with my friend, which I didn’t mind. Hey, now I can say I had a couple’s massage with someone who isn’t my partner. Sorry friend! I love you but not that much. Considering she is my friend, I didn’t mind her being in the room but the room it self was VERY awkward! What the fuck is a shower doing in the corner of the room? The sink I can understand but a shower?! The room wasn’t nicely decorated either but that wasn’t a big bother since 40% of the time, my eyes remained closed. The atmosphere of the room was quite horrible though and trying to ignore the shower wasn’t easy. First of all, the room had only one candle… the light fixture was broken and I noticed this because my masseuse tried fixing it while I was naked. The room also smelled of slight mold/​mugginess… its hard to describe but I blame the shower… fuckin shower.
Once we were told what to do, they told me and my friend to choose a bed… only one bed had a the face holder so whoever sat in the plain bed without the holder, had to face up. After I was done laying face down, I was asked to turn and lay on my back while the holder was removed and taken to the other bed, yes people… the face holder was shared. It wasn’t even that clean to begin with. I noticed two black spots on the linen of it, but I didn’t say anything. My thought was «Apple, try not to be picky» and I really wasn’t. First of all the lady who did my massage didn’t do much of a great job. I felt like it was a very light rub down in circular motions. I asked my friend how her massage was and she raved about it and that her back cracked. My friend had another masseuse. I got upset when she told me that her masseuse actually massaged her feet and and hands as opposed to mine who patted them down. Totally not cool and I didn’t speak up about it because I learned this AFTER the massage and I figured «if I am never coming back, there is no point» and I just left it at that.
After our massage was done, my friend and I had a facial… in the same room. The equipment was also shared. My mistake here was for not speaking up and I actually believe the person below saying she got an eye infection. I think this was a bad place to get my first facial. First of all, it hurt like a bitch and she used her fingers. Second, when the other lady was done with the extraction tool, or whatever object… it was used on me. I hope to god they sanitized it… The creams they were using smelled pretty bad. They said they were going to use «plant based» creams… nosy me of course checked through their items after they left me and my friend alone to only find that they used Oil of Olay and Aveeno. My skin was left to shine (as if it were greased) and blotchy. Not to mention, one pimple that I did have (it wasn’t bothering anyone or me…) was bleeding a bit. I did not enjoy my facial. At the end, my skin was feeling itchy and somewhat dry. I couldn’t wait to get home and wash it… which I did with Clinique solution and my face felt better and a lot cleaner. Also, there were still white and black heads on my face. My friend didn’t enjoy her facial at all either. She was left with red and itchy eyes. The facial was supposed to last for an hour but it seemed a lot shorter than that. I also expected a facial massage but nope, we just got cleaned up with a cold towel. That’s another thing I didn’t like… they weren’t saying what they were using but they managed to warn us when they were using a hot or cold towel.
Bottom line is, I will not be visiting this place ever again. My friend and I agreed that it was not worth it, even with a groupon. Totally not worth it and two stars is me being generous to them.

I actually really enjoyed everything until I ended up with an eye infection after my facial. It’s been over two weeks and I still have a blister by my eye to remind me that it wasn’t worth it. Not to mention, I have spent over 200 dollars in medicine and doctors appointments. Thanks, but no thanks.

I visitied this establishment on ⁹⁄₁₅ for a mani/​pedi I purchased via livingsocial. The young woman who did the mani/​pedi was professional and did an average job. However, as soon as she finished my nails which was a little after 8, the manager «Irma» stood by me while my nails dried. They were turning lights off and I had just sat down to prepare for a 5 minute dry because I wanted to go home as well. I got up shortly after to use the quick dry spray for my nails and the manager told me I had to leave because they were closing the shop. I have never been treated so disrespectfully as a paying customer in my life. CUSTOMER SERVICE can make or break a business and I am horrified at the poor service I was given by their MANAGEMENT team. They shouldnt schedule people so late in the evening and damn near throw you out before your services are complete. NEVER AGAIN!!!

I have been coming here since they were down the block. I now live in California and whenever I am home, I get my hair done here. Everyone does hair well and I never have a problem.
