Hair Salons in Holtsville

At Thomas Cole Salon, experienced stylists use top-notch products designed by the owner and founder to tame unruly manes into eye-catching coiffures. Services such as a women’s haircut ($95+) or men’s haircut ($50+) can be complemented by a blow-dry ($40+) or men’s hair coloring ($50+). Instead of duct-taping road flares to their heads, beauty seekers can spiff up their cuts with glance-baiting highlights ($150+) or a nourishing Brazilian keratin treatment ($300+) that simultaneously strengthens and softens hair.

During the one-hour Swedish massage, muscles will be freed from tension, allowing bodies to comfortingly slump into relaxed bliss as kinks and knots are slowly untied. Postmassage, patrons then choose between two skin rejuvenating treatments: the one-hour Ultimate facial, which is rich in natural and organic nutrients, or the Tropical Coconut Body Escape Scrub, which renews and detoxifies epidermal areas with a silky soft touch.

Salon Blue bolsters stylists' expertise through carefully calibrated training programs, helping to earn them name-checks in magazines such as Glamour, Cosmopolitan, and InStyle. The hierarchy at the salon begins with creative stylists, who hone their craft through ongoing education as they collect the six golden curling irons required to ascend to the level of artistic director. To obtain the top rank as a master director, stylists must study under hair gurus such as Vidal Sassoon and John Sahag, and they often show off their skills as platform artists at beauty shows.

Though their titles vary, stylists at every level of expertise can deliver haircuts, color treatments, and makeup applications using Jane Iredale mineral makeup. Floor-to-ceiling windows fill the salon's minimally decorated floor with light and allow straightening treatments to set via photosynthesis.

Inside the monochromatic confines of Plush Salon, a team of hairstylists stands over a row of white leather chairs, doting on heads with shears and brushes laden with professional hair color. Voted the best salon by White Plains Patch readers in 2012, the beauty haven is helmed by co-owners Kristy Rotonde and Anthony Fidanza, who collaborated on the design of the savvy interior, complete with 6-inch personal TVs at every styling station.

The stylists at I.D Salon aren't just in demand by their clients; several also work as artistic directors for such familiar brands as Sebastian, Wella, and Unite Professional Salon System. They've also educated other stylists around the globe, and they've styled coiffures for top designers at fashion week in New York and Los Angeles. But like a family living in a hollowed-out redwood, I.D Salon has deep roots in its community, too. In 2007, they partnered with the Carol M. Baldwin Breast Cancer Research Fund to raise more than $52,000 for breast-cancer research.

A mother-and-daughter team founded Emris Penny Salon in 2004, and eight years later, relocated to their current space—a cozy salon furnished with dark wood and zebra-print chairs. Despite the change in surroundings, the duo and their stylists still offer the same services that won them a loyal following of clients. They skillfully sculpt hair with cuts and up-dos, tint it with coloring or highlights, and control texture with permanent waves or keratin treatments. Makeup applications also help beautify faces and cater to brides-to-be who want to look their best as they parachute directly into their wedding ceremonies. Emris Penn Salon relies on a range of products by Moroccanoil, Wella, and Pureology.
