Halo Salon

I am one of those women who stylist hop. I find someone good and the second they do something minutely wrong, I move on. This hasn’t been the case with Stella at Halo. I keep coming back!
She’s going to tell you it like it is. If that’s not your style, there are plenty of equally talented stylists at the salon.
Stella cleaned up my hair so meticulously the first tim-​trimming each layer with such precision. When I had concern with my color and returned, we had a little bit of a disagreement on what I liked vs what she liked, but she quickly sprung to action to come up with a solution.
And when I went back the next time for my regular cut/​color, I asked for a little darker with a hair dye. She talked me out of it and instead recommended a high/​low light with toner in between. The results were beautiful.
I will keep coming back! And the prices are fantastically reasonable for the area.

Came here at the recommendation of a friend who’s been seeing Jennifer for a few years, and she was truly amazing! Such a sweetheart and does excellent work. The salon itself is very chic, the other stylists are all friendly and do great work as well judging from what I saw while processing. Prior to Halo I had gone to 5 different stylists in the 4 years I’ve been in NY. None of them could ever seem to get my color right, but Jennifer did! She really takes her work seriously, truly listens to what you want and also asks all the right questions to ensure that you walk out happy. Glad to say that I finally found my hair stylist :)

Found Halo Salon through online reviews, and I am so glad. I’ll definitely be a repeat customer! I walked in with waist-​length hair that had never been cut (only trimmed), and left with the cutest little wash-​and-​wear bob. Sam really listened to what I thought I wanted (shoulder length) and advised without pressuring. I ended up going shorter than I’d initially thought, and absolutely love it. Thanks, Sam! Atmosphere in the salon is serene; absolutely no chaos or confusion, which is especially important to me as I have a TBI. Can’t imagine a better first-​haircut-​in-​life experience!

My daughter had her prom makeup done by Maria. She airbrushed the foundation and then went to work. In no time at all she expertly applied the makeup. The colors she worked with made my daughter’s eyes totally pop. The end result was a beautiful natural finish. It wasn’t overdone or too heavy. My daughter looked absolutely radiant. We asked if we could purchase the lip color she used because it was just perfect but she didn’t have one available. She then gave us the one she used because there wasn’t much left. We left there beyond satisfied and totally pleased with the service! Highly recommend.

I’m a 17 y.o. girl with a pixie cut — Stella did a great job, just leaving the salon now. she actually listened to what I wanted and gave me something pretty close to the pictures I brought with me! open on Mondays is a plus, and the a quick last minute walk in was just what I needed

Let’s start by saying I just left the salon :)
I went to Andrea here a few times and was always happy with my cut, however I just went to Gillian for the first time and my hair looks awesome! She was super helpful and didn’t rush the consultation at all. I have super long hair and she really helped it look it’s very best! I was a bit nervous at first but she explained what she was going to do in detail. Moral of the story listen to this experienced stylist… she knows what she is talking about! The salon staff is all super great and smiley and there is a great vibe overall. I will always go back, you should go to!

Let me just say, I am a Super Picky Irish Girl when it comes to my hair, and I have had the best hair colors & cuts of my life at Halo– they really know what they are doing
WHATS GREAT:
~CONSULTATION– two seconds talking to the stylists or even checking out other clients hair shows these girls know what they are doing.
~AMBIANCE– Super cool design of space while still being warm and inviting– you truly feel like your getting a 5 star experience just by stepping through the door
~RESULTS– Stella advised me on the perfect color of red to suit my skin tone, and advised on a few strands of highlights to enhance the look– it LOOKS SO NATURAL– I have never gotten more compliments on my hair than since I started going here.
MORE THAN HAIRSTYLING– you could literally get a make over there– they do Facials, make up, spray tanning in addition to hair
Whats so-​so:
Its actually not in my neighborhood! Boo Hoo for me, but its worth the travel, as the prices are great compared to most places in Manhattan that don’t even match up to the quality.

*UPDATE*
In almost 4 years, I have utilized just about every service offered by Halo Salon and worked with multiple stylists. And they are all amazing! You really can’t beat this place. I have recommended friends and family who travel up to an hour each way to patronize Halo Salon.

I am a loyal Halo customer since my first trip one year ago. I have referred four ladies who are now as addicted as I am. Last week I decided to take advantage of a special they were having on spray tans. Well, it was amazing! All week I got compliments on my glow and everyone asked me if I went on vacation. Naturally, my skin has two shades – pasty white or sunburned red. Thanks to Maria’s magic, I have a natural and healthy looking glow. Halo does everything right!

Went in with a picture of what I kind of wanted as I hadn’t colored my hair in a year and was afraid of a huge change. Sam made sure what she was doing was what I wanted. End result perfect I love and getting loads of compliments on it is always a boost :)

I absolutely love this place! Sam is amazing and the rest of the staff couldn’t be more courteous and professional. I’ve never had a bad experience ranging from cuts to color to up do’s.

I really wanted to love this place. As a recent transplant, I thought there no better way to meet new people and support my local community by getting my hair cut at a neighborhood joint, especially after reading the two glowing reviews.
I dragged a friend with me to get a cut (she also got highlights) and she will never forgive me for it. We entered the salon on a Friday afternoon and were really impressed with the ambiance and décor. It’s clean, stylish, and organized. The receptionist was lovely and offered us water. It seemed like we were getting off to a great start. Jillian came over to greet us and discuss what look we were going for. I wanted to chop my mid-​back length hair for the «Karlie» a lá the January issue of Vogue: between chin and shoulders, soft front layers, and bangs. I showed her various print and digital pics.
My friend wanted a pixie cut with ombré points (who am I to judge?)She also came armed with photos.
So how is it that we both came out with the exact same Birmingham channel 13 – 10 PM-​news anchor– cut? And not even a good one at that!
Jillian gave me a chin-​length bob with thick bangs. Ok sounds good so far. Except for the ridiculous layering she did on only one back section, which I didn’t even realize had happened until 2 days after when I washed my hair and tried to style it myself. My hair is divided into three sections now: the two that frame my face, which came out ok and the back section that flips up and is layered with at least 5 or 6 different cuts. It takes a flat iron, blow dryer and 20 minutes just to tame it into place. One of the front layers is uneven with the other side. Unless I spend 45 minutes after every washing, my hair looks like a worn out mop. To give you some context: before this my hair is medium thick with slight volume and wave. It’s not super straight but you would be hard pressed to find even a hint of a wave. I definitely used to be a wash and wear type. But sadly, no more. Now I wait for my hair to grow back to get a proper cut while slicking it back with obnoxious amounts of gel and hairpins.
My friend came out with the exact same hair cut, and to be fair, she allowed herself to be talked out of what she originally wanted. But the cut still isn’t a good cut. Her bangs weren’t cut properly and her highlights came out J. LO circa 1999. I’ll let her write her own review.
I can’t speak for the other stylists or the make-​up artists. But it can’t bode well if the top stylist isn’t very good at cutting hair.

I love traveling from NJ to visit Halo Salon! This salon is fabulous from the minute you enter to the moment you leave feeling beautiful. The staff are professional, friendly and warm and make sure that you are comfortable during your salon experience. I spent hours in this salon and started off with a dermalogica facial and I was so impressed. The esthetician walked me through an in-​depth analysis of my skin to help me understand my breakouts. She massaged my face, arms, and feet and gave me a much needed deep cleanse with a peel and mask. This is a must have at Halo Salon as I left with softer skin and cleaner pores. I then had the Agave treatment, which is intended to cut my styling time in half. I can’t wait for that to happen as I spend way too much time blow-​drying in the morning! After my treatment I was ready for color, and Gillian knew how to help balance it out. She evened it out from roots to end and gave me a glossy and rich color shade for winter that I love. When getting your hair washed at the sink, get ready to put your feet up (literally) and have an amazing head massage. These girls are amazing at it! I must also add that my cut was perfect. I asked Gillian to give me a trim as I wanted to keep my length and she did just that (she really listened to what I wanted). My hair looks healthy, shiny and chic even a day later. If you are looking for a salon with high quality services, definitely check out this place. I will continue traveling into NY for my hair/​skin treatments and I look forward to seeing all of the ladies (Gillian, Stella, Andrea, Sam, Suzi) each time I schedule an appointment.

I just moved to the area and I’m really glad I followed the reviews on several websites. Halo is most definitely a 5 star experience. Everyone is super friendly and you can’t beat the price… especially for the quality of haircut. I have paid much more for a haircut on Long Island and in the city. Those cuts couldn’t hold a candle to the fabulous cut I got from Gillian… I have received so many compliments! I am in the process of growing out my hair and she gave me tips on how to keep up with my hair so it looks it’s healthiest.
I am definitely going back!

When I moved to the Bronx I was so excited to go down to Manhattan to all of these high end salons with celebrity stylists. The allure was all but crushed after about 3 bad haircuts from other salons. I started asking for recommendations and a friend told me about Halo. I booked an appointment with Gillian and have never looked back.
It’s great that I can just walk down the street to them, but honestly, this is one of the salons/​stylists that I will continue to come to no matter where I move. People started complimenting my hair ALL OF THE TIME since I started getting my hair cut here. Gillian cuts my hair so that I literally don’t have to do ANYTHING to it! I wash it, air dry it, and it looks fabulous. My hair is now Victoria’s Secret bombshell sexy without even trying.
The staff there is always so nice. Every time I’ve gone another stylist or customer walks across the street to get coffee or a drink and always asks if they can get you anything. Maybe I just pick the right times to go, but it really helps to make you feel at home in this neighborhood salon. They are very knowledgable and occasionally give you little samples of things that they think you would benefit from. I love the style of the salon and always feel comfortable here. I referred a friend here who got a cut and color from Stella and loved it as well. One of the best parts is that I’m always surprised at how inexpensive my cut comes to when I check out at the front.
I love, love, love Halo and Gillian!

Great place with very friendly and skilled stylists.

Jillian is wonderful! I have thick hair and she texturizes it very well and to my liking! I highly recomend her to anyone.
