I don’t usually write reviews but I feel as though this is necessary. I went in last weekend for a lift and color correction and left with tears streaming down my face.When Stephanie Vega began working on my hair, I asked if I would have time get a gel manicure and pedicure and the hairstylist said “yes! of course” underestimating the time she would take on my hair.The nail tech began taking off my gel pedicure that was still in very good condition and I was left in slippers for a few hours. Long story short, I did not have any down time to get my gel pedicure done and I was left with unfinished work.As for my hair, the hair stylist began bleaching my hair without doing a test strand first. Once she finished bleaching my hair, she touched up the roots, and washed my hair. Then, proceeded by adding a toner and washing my hair one last time. My hair was ready for styling and the hair stylist said it was absolutely necessary for me to cut my hair so she chopped off 3 inches. She then proceeds to by blowdrying my hair. Once she finishes, she starts adding her finishing touches of hair products and states she is done. I took one look at the mirror and immediately started crying hysterically at how terrible my hair came out. My roots were curly, hair frizzy, hair cut very choppy, and an uneven tone and blotchiness to my hair. In exchange, the hair stylist offered me a shot of alcohol… I ended up doing my own hair at the salon and having to use a brown box dye on my hair the following day. My experience was horrific.. For a hairstylist who went to school for this, you should know your limits.3 weeks later… I was contacted by the owner and was told in exchange for deleting this post, Michelle would do my hair personally as she has 40 years of experience. Customer satisfaction is not their top priority. There is always good and bad when running a business, the bad shouldn’t be swept under the rug. I hope this post can help those who are looking to go to the best salon. I have since then done my hair elsewhere.
When I came to synergy it was actually my first time ever coloring my hair!! I was so nervous at the beginning but right from the consultation I knew I was in good hands! Michelle is so sweet and I could easily tell not only does she deeply care about her work but she loves what she does, and it’s because of that passion that her work is impeccable!! The staff was so sweet as well, very kind and welcoming!! I definitely will be returning and I highly recommend synergy ❤️
I went to Synergy to get a blow out and my makeup done for a wedding I was attending later the same day. I showed the stylist (Vega) a picture of what I wanted and she nailed it! I was so happy with how bouncy and beautiful my hair came out too. I received so many compliments on my look from other wedding guests and my husband couldn’t stop saying how good I looked. The appointment flew by, it was so much fun chatting with Vega (she’s an absolutely wonderful person, strongly recommend making an appointment with her.)
Stephanie Vega has done an absolutely beautiful job on my hair. Each color is more stunning than the next and so vibrant and unique. I came in with boring hair and will absolutely now go to no one else. She is professional and listens to what I want. I recommend this salon and Stephanie 100%. Wonderful service.
Michelle has been my hairstylist for the past 20 years. If I ever want to change my color or hairstyle she is always ready with some great ideas that I love every time and I always get complimented for. I live in Manhattan and come to White Plains just to get my haircut. Stephanie, Trisha, Michelle and Lindsey are always friendly when I come and make me feel very welcome. Stephanie did my nails and they looked great. I would recommend every one of their services to anyone who wants to come out looking beautiful with great service and a lot personal attention.
I learned about this new cool place from my wife who wanted to try it but did not get a chance yet. It so happened that I thought of going there before her and the only regret was that my wife was not there to enjoy the great services by Michelle and her team. We will be sure to go there as a couple for sure. To my surprise they offer all services from haircuts to massages to even men shave. Also I felt happy to be a patron at a passionate and hardworking local business. I look forward to my next trip especially considering the fact that Michelle has promised to further style my new hairdo and give me a summer look 😎.Cheers,Rohish
After many years of getting my hair cut from the same place I decided to switch it up. I let my hair grow for five months, walked in, and told the barber to just do whatever he thought would look the best on me. Greatest haircut ever, Ive never received more compliments about my hair. The few extra dollars I spent at Synergy Beauty Bar versus going to an ordinary barber shop I have been going to for years was well spent. Not to mention they offer complementary beer or wine with your visit! So if you are someone who wants a good haircut and a special hot towel shave I definitely recommend Synergy Beauty Bar.
I went to Synergy Beauty Bar when they had just been taken over by the new owner. I had my bachelorette party there and it was so wonderful! The staff provided us with finger food snacks, some wine and other drinks, I also had my trial run for my updo (The owner is the one who did my hair, my bridesmaids hair, and my mothers hair for the wedding! which came out amazing and exactly how I pictured it!). Everyone there was so friendly and so happy to work with us and make sure that my evening went smoothly and I had a good time.They all definitely do their best to give you exactly what you are looking for/want with your hair. So glad my girls planned the party there and I had them do my hair on my special day. HIGHLY recommend using them for any parties, events, or just for a new look.Thanks guys!
I had the privilege of having Stephaine Vega do my hair and I am officially hooked. She cut and toned my hair and I must say I have never been happier about a haircut ever. There is something to be said about a hair stylist that listens to you and is very transparent about what those amazing blonde highlights can cost me in upkeep. Not to say I wont do them but I appreciate the heads up. Also worth noting is my blowdry lasted for days... I am officially a client! If you are in the market looking for a new stylist I 100% suggest you stop by.
I came in to Synergy this past week to get my hair and nails done. It was the day before my sisters wedding, so I needed to get a blow out and get a mani/pedi. Maurice blew out and styled my hair, and he was wonderful. He was so sweet and personable, but also knew exactly what he was doing and gave me an amazing blow out. Amy was my nail technician, and she did an amazing job with both my nails and my toes. Synergy is a very cute beauty bar that has employees who have a passion for their craft, and has a comfortable atmosphere that makes customers feel at home.
I always love my haircuts when I walk out of the Synergy Beauty Bar. Simply put, Michelle knows what shes doing. Today I got a balayage done and absolutely love it. Highly recommend all the services the salon provides.
Cant say enough good things! I have followed Michelle over the years to her different locations, and was so happy for her when she opened her own salon. I will never switch. I moved out of Westchester, but still travel in from Manhattan and the Hamptons to get my hair cut and colored. Plus, Michelle has wonderful support staff to do nails, hair, waxing and other beauty services. Michelle and her staff also did our hair and makeup for two of our childrens weddings, and brought a wonderful barber to pamper the groom and dad. We got so many compliments from our guests on how we all looked. Michelle and her staff really care about what they do, and it shows.
If you have been to some salons, where people do not know what they are doing coloring hair, and you do not know where else to go. Do what I did and go to this place, because these people know what they are doing. They did a great job on my hair color and cut. They are professional and know how to communicate with a client, and they style your hair the way YOU want it. It was a positive experience and I will continue to go here.
Let me set everyone straight, negative comments on this site are from a disgruntled employee who wasnt of the caliber needed at this salon. Michele has been cutting my hair since 1983, you wont find anyone better. She knows her stuff and takes the time to ensure everything is perfect when you leave her chair. I moved to Florida and travel to NY just to get my haircut, thats how good she is and thats the truth. Dont spend time looking anywhere else. If you value yourself and how you look, you wont find a hairstylist that cares as much about you as Michele does.
What a wonderful experience this turned out to be! Honestly, with Groupon it can be hit or miss and Synergy Beauty Bar was a definite hit! First of all what a pretty place! I went for the Gel manicure/ White Plains Pedicure and was so, so pleased! They have the coolest chair/set-up for pedicure that make it very comfortable, the technician who did both my mani and pedi, Mayra was not only warm, friendly and accomodating, she was also very professional. I felt neither rushed nor did it take too long. Mayra was very helpful in terms of helping me choose a really cool/off-beat funky color for my gel mani, she even did one finger all glitter and it looks very cool! I am not one to usually write reviews, but this place and the experience exceeded my expectations and I feel very strongly that good work and good people deserve props, albeit some Google acclaim. I would highly recommend Synergy Beauty Bar and Mayra, even without a Groupon I will be back. P.S. A tip for those going for the first time, take Martine Avenue to Mitchell Place, go 3/4 of the way down Mitchell and you will find plenty of parking and Synergy is located just at the end of Mitchell (and South Broadway) a very short walk. P.P.S.: I also met Vega, one of the stylists at Synergy - very pretty, very nice, cool chick I did not get my hair done by her, but she was so nice and so cool I am going back to have my hair colored there too. Great Groupon, dont hesitate and dont bug driving by thinking there is no place to park. Thanks for reading. Laura P.
I am not one to write reviews unless I feel it is extremely necessary.Let’s begin with I purchased a groupon for a blow out. I work across the street so I figured I can go on my lunch break. GREAT!As I stated above my lunch break. Therefore, food is a necessity I figured pizza should be fine as it is a meal u can eat without issues. Clearly I was wrong as I was immediately asked to surrender my pizza. Which is fine but at the end of the service I was not returned my pizza, let me add that I stood waiting for it to be returned for 10-15 min until I got aggravated because I had to leave. So now I’m remaining in hunger for the rest of my work day, NOT GREAT!Continuing service. I have waist line length hair and was told I had to pay an additional $15 dollars which I didn’t mind at first. I know I have a lot of hair and it’s thick. Plus I couldn’t lose my money on the groupon purchase in addition to needing my hair blown out for an event the following day. The girl then proceeded to wash my hair which she only scrubbed ONCE! I have a lot of hair what makes one think that 1 wash is enough. Then her blowout she failed to brush through to my ends. Secondly she left some areas with curls on my roots. I was pissed. When she was done I was so annoyed I didn’t want to argue and simply tied my hair back up in a bun.I had to go home and blow dry the messed up areas and proceed to flat iron it in order for it to look decent.Might I add I do know how to do hair as I was a cosmetology major in high school. But I HATE DOING HAIR.This was such an annoying experience... I hope no one else has to go through this.
I got a keratin treatment done here and it did not even last for one wash.My hair looked nice post the treatment , i followed all the guidelines and more.I also used the shampoo and conditioner i bought at the saloon, still my hair was back to what it was before i got the treatment.To be honest i am not totally disappointed because the treatment did not work, there could be many reasons why it did not work but i never got to know any.I was never assisted by the saloon after the treatment was done and payment done.I sent them a picture of how my hair looks after the wash followed up for about a week.I was constantly being told that the owner will get back to me and it never happened, the saloon was not even ready to take a look at me though i volunteered to come in anytime as i stay near by.The lady attending my call seemed to eventually get irritated saying “i told u owner will get back” who never got back...All i want to say is keratin treatment is an expensive treatment and if you cannot trust the saloon to treat u right, its not worth itWouldn’t recommend if u are looking for a long term saloon. I newly moved to whiteplains and tot finally found a nice parlor, but i was wrong. Wont be going again.
I was really impressed with the work Mayra did!! I first visited Synergy with a Groupon for gel mani & a regular pedi. I was not expecting much! I was surprised with great service and very pleased with my Mani & Pedi. Maryra was absolutely professional and very attentive.. So sweet.. My nails never broke and looked great for more than two weeks 😍.
Best salon in Westchester, the owner knows so much about how to maximize the good parts about your hair and minimize the bad! This place is also excellent for nails because its the only place I have ever been that follow health standards TO THE LETTER.
White glove service at affordable price. The team here truly upholds their authentic integrity for customer service. My hair never look so good! And I left with education on hair regimine and care. Will be my salon from here on out.
Amazing fantastic over the top Customer service experience from the moment you call to make the appointment to the moment you walk out the door everyone especially Lindsay makes you feel like the First Lady walked in!!! Truly recommend Synergy Beauty Bar !! I just hope these two weeks pass by quickly so I can go back!!
This place is great, the environment is very comfortable and beautiful, the staff is very welcoming and super friendly. l had an amazing experience getting gel mani and pedi, I was given a wonderful treatment and Myra did an awesome job on my nails, she is extremely nice. I will definitely be going back!
The owner was very rude to me while trimming my bangs. She roughly man-handled me while obnoxiously reprimanding me for not getting my hair trimmed enough. She told me I had to go there frequently to have my hair trimmed from then on. The place is overpriced and absolutely empty every time I walk by and glance in the window as well.
The price is too expensive and the service is the worst. A haircut is $115. And they do not really have the skills. The next day I had to go to another hair salon and cut my hair again. It was the worst beauty salon I have ever met.
I found a great deal on Groupon. And trying to make an appointment the first time I been told the unfortunately she was short of staff so I have to wait for a couple weeks but they will validate my groupon even its expired.Well here I am again after one month trying to make another appointment I been told this time the terapist is not available again that I have to wait for another 2 weeks . 🙁
Had an amazing experience with getting gel mani pedi. The staff were friendly and the place is so nice & comfy. I loved it. Definitely going back!
The staff was very welcoming and nice, the environment is very comfortable and beautiful. Loved how my hair came out, will definitely be back!
Massage from Ruth — best massage I’ve ever received! Ruth has a healing touch!
My hair looks great! Very safe, follows all the protocols. Highly recommended!
Doma was so so sweet and she did a really nice job. I was very happy with her service!!!
Lovely salon with lovely people. Tricia does a great blow out. Friendly and welcoming.
Best haircut I have ever gotten. Love my color. A whole new look
