Paragon Hair Salon

I am currently sitting in my chair while Mercedes is adding extensions to my thin hair. This is the second time I am here and I am HOOKED! Mercedes is the best. She is accommodating, professional, quick and knowledgeable (and beautiful!) It is worth every penny. If you are considering doing extensions — this is definitely the place to go. I recommend this salon with great enthusiasm!

I chose this place because it got 5 stars. Giving it 2 stars was a stretch. I will not recommend this place to anyone. a $ 15 Barber has better customer service. If you’re looking for a place that’s worth your money look somewhere else. I wanted to treat myself but my experience was hardly a treat.
On the phone I asked how much it would be for partial highlights and they told me it would be up to the stylist decide. I have a pixie haircut so I already knew that it wasn’t going to be very expensive. The stylist and I decided to go with peek a boo partial highlights.
i waited in the sink for 15 minutes with my neck in the awkward position waiting for someone to wash my hair. Hair colorist (not Chris) did not even check to see how my color came out. In fact they left me waiting with wet hair for 30 minutes unattended. They said somebody would be right with me to blow dry my hair. No one ever came. Not even my stylist. I was so cold and felt neglected. I have never gotten my hair colored before where the stylist doesnt bother to check to see how the color turned out or bother to say bye come back again. He finally came after 30 minutes or more and asked why im still here. Um… hello?! my hair is wet and how can i leave before seeing results? He took me to a corner and handed me a blow dryer and I had to blow dry my own hair. Thats a first. I felt like I wasn’t in a salon at all. When I went to the front to pay they told me the total is $ 146. I was sure this was a mistake. I have really short hair and this was partial highlights. And the customer service was terrible. They confirmed with him and he said that is the correct price. And apparently I was charged for full highlights. I definitely asked for partial and what I got was partial. Whether he thinks this is full highlights or not we agreed upon partial highlights.
Whenever one goes to a highly rated salon they expect exceptional service. In the least you should be asked if you want something to drink. This is the first place I’ve gone to that was really highly rated where I wasn’t even asked if I wanted a drink. I was hot under the hair heater, we r in middle of heat wave & I had to request something to drink toward end of apt. I asked for water. & I got a teeny tiny waxed paper cup of water from ozarka water tank. How generous.
and to think at the end of this I had to leave a tip. And at the end I was not happy with my hair at all. it was nothing like how we discussed it would be. but I didn’t want to subject myself to this business again. So I box colored my hair the next day.

I moved here from Florida 9 months ago and have had a hard time finding the right colorist. Someone referred me here and when I called I explained I am very particular about my hair and was referred to Anthony, they told me Anthony does excellent work on blondes.
When I got there I told Anthony what I wanted and to my surprise and pleasure he did a phenomenal job. What is even better, while we were talking I found out he was the owner and was very impressed with the fact that he did such a good job and really took care of me!
Thanks Anthony!!!

Chris is the best colorist Long Island. He takes the time to ensure you get the results you want.
