I have been to Marie twice so far. She is a fantastic colorist. She corrected my color and got my look right. I also had a haircut and facial waxing. I feel like I had a beauty makeover.
Marie is an animal lover and welcomed my golden retriever to sit with me while I had my hair done. What a treat to have my dog with me

Excited to find a professional so close to home! How did I miss this? Marie listens to the customer...and then achieves amazing results. My hair color has been a problem since I started coloring the grey. She was able to come up with a program that keeps it from turning copper even with well water in the house. What Marie says.. I do-it is worth it. The shampoo and conditioner made an immediate difference. The cut was also exactly what I have been asking for! The other stylists told me "not possible" and kept my hair long and stringy. My shorter layered hair now looks longer and fuller. Marie has experience and knows how to deliver. She also cares. Highly recommend if you want a real professional.

i’m so thrilled to have found this salon. Marie absolutely listened to me and helped correct my hair. I totally trust her. I initially went there because of her amazing training. She knows her stuff!!!!

I am beyond happy with my experience that I had going to this salon. I got my hair done by Olivia and I can't say enough good things about her. She is all around great not only do I love my hair but she is also so sweet and made the hours I was there fly by. I was a bit nervous going into it since I was making two big changes (Cutting it much shorter and dying it black) she exceed my expectations. It has been a few weeks since I have gotten my hair done and the color is still shiny and I get compliments on it all the time. This salon is great and I strongly recommend getting your hair done by Olivia.

Can’t say enough about how wonderful my experience was with Marie, who is a master Redken artist/stylist. My last experience with a different salon made me nervous but Marie walked me through everything and made me feel very comfortable. The salon is clean, beautiful, and the staff is very friendly. Went in for color and cut and came out feeling like a whole new person. I couldn’t stop smiling.

THE HAIRCUT AND COLOR IN THIS PICTURE WERE FIXED EXPERTLY BY HER-WISH I HAD KNOWN ABOUT HER SOONER. Look how messed up it looks-need to get a new picture done because you would not believe what it looks like now. Moreover, it looks better on Day 3 and 4, on top of swinging and hanging nice from Day 1 as it was. I can't imagine not washing my hair every day, and even after surgery on a neck mass, I never got to more than a day w/o washing it, before, but this time, I did the right thing and did what the medical issue required me to do, skipping wet hair for 4 days. Even though I was the one who did my hair the morning of surgery, and I am NOT good with blow-drying my hair, the people in the office I go to daily would not stop raving about it and I loved it myself so much.

Everything people said is true. Marie runs a tight, high-class shop in every way-cleanliness, people she hires, etc. Marie's cuts are second to none, and I go out there from Dix Hills.

Her reputation is spreading: This was amazing but I bumped into another customer who said she is looking t going to Fla but will fly back for Marie's work! What happened was that I bumped into a lady in the office bathroom at Garden City, and we started chatting because she works for the reverse mortgage company next door and I do foreclosure defense, besides animal law and other areas of law, and worked next door at the bankruptcy and foreclosure defense law firm Of Counsel. Reverse mortgages might be a last-chance effort to save a house from foreclosure, like bankruptcy. She mentioned she shleps to Garden City from Westhampton and I said, BTW, you HAVE to go to Salon Echelon, and she said I am preaching to the choir- she raved about the place.

Marie goes to LOTS of training and even trains other salons, does fashion shoots in Manhattan, has a lot of certifications and licenses, although they are hard to get and you MUST be top-notch, etc.-she is not a regular hairdresser or business owner; she has taken everything to the next level. Believe it or not, this is like law school and the Bar exam, time and brain skills, and I think I spent less time on the bar exam, and passed the first time, than Marie spends getting HER licenses and such.

I do the same with my work, and in fact, have a class tomorrow at the Bar Assn but am going to Marie's first, which is sort-of on the way back from Riverhead foreclosure court. I called 10 days ago and Marie is booked solid through Christmas and the only way I could get in was by saying I will be there 12:30 after court and will hang around until I need to leave for the seminar, working on my laptop, until someone has time to do my color (one of her workers, under Marie's educated guidance of course, did it 8 weeks ago and only needs touch-up at the roots now). However, I ONLY want her cutting my hair, as great as her staff members are.

Ironically, I received a ton of compliments when I couldn't wash my hair for 3 days due to a medical procedure. The way my hair just hung, on its own, due to the cut, was fantastic, taking advantage of its natural but gentle curl at the ends. Also, the cut saves me a lot of time in the morning-although I am terrible at blowing out my hair, I can just blow the top and let the bottom half, which tends to get dry so this helps, do its own thing with the cut and I often get in the car with my hair partially wet. Moreover, I am an attorney and need to look a certain way-Suffolk is conservative, and the cut looks both sexy and professional. You MUST go there, no matter where you live.
