It's been a while since I had anything done to my hair and it was time for a change so I could actually feel good about myself, so my friend and I went there today.
Barbara Ann was my hair stylist and she gave me exactly what I wanted. Violet highlights framing my face, a side bang that was also violet and some highlights in the back. When she had finished, my hair looked absolutely amazing and worth every penny.
I had a similar hair style done with red at a different salon that is now closed and I spent $300. Here I spent a lot less.
Even though I live in CT, when I'm here I'll be going back to Barbara Ann.
Fit me in super last minute! The girls were great and cut was good. Thank you!
Jon's been doing a great job cutting my hair for years, and the salon staff is always helpful and friendly.
I can't believe all the bad reviews I've been going to Cactus since I'm 12 years old I'm now 28 and John and Lori are consistently phenomenal.
i bought a groupon for a balayage and i've had it done once before at their dix hills location back in October (it's june now) and i wanted to go a little lighter than i had before and i showed the lady a picture of a girl with honey blonde balayage and i walked out with yellow ombré hair. i was so upset but i am not a confrontational person at all. i hate my hair so much that the other day at work i went into the bathroom to cry. luckily i'm getting it fixed at another salon but i'm wasting so much money to fix something. i don't recommend the huntington location. go to the dix hills one because they do an AMAZING job
I have been going to this cactus since they moved from Wall street decades ago. My hair is not easy to beautify its very fine and very straight and a mousey color. While I've had very good and fairly good haircuts over the years from an assortment of the techs, I can't say that any of them were phenomenal all were talented and professional. The real difference in this CACTUS and the reason I will NEVER go anywhere else is the colorist (Lori). I have been stopped in airports, at restaurants, and elsewhere with unsolicited compliments about my coloring. One woman at a tennis match leaned over and told me I had "Movie Star" highlights! They are very nice. Lori spends a year highlighting and downlighting in chunky and skinny alternative strands. The end result is EVERY coloring brings my hair closer to the hair of a child that plays in the sun. Often, the desk will pair Lori (color) with John (cut). This doesnt work for me. John is just a little to modern, cuts are on the short and angular side ,,, just not for me. However, I've been a Cactus client long enough to know that he has a very strong following of people who like his styling.
bad what I can say?? you can have a coupon trought groupon and then you will never be able to use it I have mine since october and they nave have a spot that it works for meand trust me I don't have a busy schedule. so bad
Took 3 days and about 12 hours to get my hair right I wasn't told in the beginning that it could be challenging. I was on a very tight time frame. After the second day of coking back and leaving with orange hair, I was done. I requested my money back. They refused, told me that I had the service done. Beyond unnaceotable considering it was not the service I wanted. Again, I paid a fortune and didn't get what I wanted. However , they did fix my hair and it was decent. Never again though this is very poor business procedure. I'll never recommend this place
I went in for a balayage, came out with blonde highlights ONLY on the top of my head and then organge random stands. It looks horrible. Worst I've ever got. Do not go here if you don't want to waste money. My hair is 0% of what I wanted. I don't think Ive ever said I hated something so much until now. HORRIBLE.
Ona is the Best! Very caring and accommodating. I would go nowhere else!
If you want a orange hair instead of blond this is a perfect place to destroy your hair.
My fiance has been going to the same colorist for almost 20 years and recently made a visit 3 days before our wedding. She is platinum blonde, gets a double process with highlights and her roots came out orange. When she let her colorist know her concern she was told that once she blows it out, it will look blonde. Needless to say I came home to my fiance in tears. When we called her colorist back, she said there was nothing she can do about it. This was after spending $230 and giving a $40 tip. They only offered her 1 time that she could come in to get her hair fixed and it was the same time she had to be in the city to pick up her dress. When I went in to ask for a refund or store credit, the manager was very rude and condescending to me. She also happens to be the colorists sister, which I did not know at the time. I was told that I didn't know what I was talking about and that her roots were not orange and she was happy how it came out.
