I just want to say that I have been to many salons in this area that just weren't as good as Tru. They were super accommodating with the type of hair that I have (long and thick hair), and very welcoming! I went to see Brian for a haircut and he talked me through the process of how I should be styling my hair. No one has ever taken the time to show me how to complete my look at home before which I thought was great. My hair has NEVER LOOKED BETTER!!! I bought and tried a few of their products as well, and they were all amazing. I will happily be back soon. Thank you Brian!

Tru Salon is my go to salon since I moved to Saint James. Every haircut I have gotten since I started coming here has exceeded my expectations. All of the stylists that I’ve ever had - Chris, Leasandra, and Felisha - are so talented and personable. I highly recommend Tru Salon!

I was so nervous about cutting my hair. I did what most of us do...I went online for weeks looking for the perfect place and I found it! I'm so happy with the whole experience. Easy to book an appointment, I love the text reminders and the friendly team.
As for my hairdresser, I expressed my concerns about my hair and he made me feel very at peace with the process, found it to be very educational too as he explained all the things and tools he would be using, and how they would be beneficial my hair in accordance with my needs and expectations.

Tru is a beautiful and upscale salon with a very hip vibe as if to walk into a Brooklyn scene with your girlfriends to chat. I have been to lots (And I Mean Lots) of salons all over LI and Brian and his team never disappoint. Courtney is an amazing Colorist as is Carli or Michelle and Brian, Casey, Gloria or Chris are amazing stylists!! I am always inspired by someone's "look"and leaving Tru always makes me never want to wash my hair again!! They always satisfy this Brooklyn girls hair!

I have been a patron of TRU for many years. I'm recommended to many friends who are also happy patrons now. It's clean,quiet and the staff is thoroughly professional And pleasant.. My stylist is excellent. I depend on her good judgement and her excellent skills with a scissors. The same for my colorist. I give TRU five stars 🤩 Martina Matkovic

This was my first visit toTru Salon and it didn't disappoint. I had Chris who did a fabulous cut on my hair. It has been awhile since I had my hair cut and styled because the last time I was at a salon they cut my hair so so short. Chris listened to exactly what I wanted and I had pictures of the style I wanted to achieve . I walked out of there with a super fantastic cut and style which hasn't happened in a long time. The pricing reflected what everyone else charges in the area no more no less. My experience at Tru Salo was excellent.

I've been going to Tru Salon for about a year now. What a wonderful, classy, current salon. Brian is a truly amazing master stylist and Courtney is an equally amazing colorist. Everyone is truly talented and obviously love what they do. I highly recommend this salon... it's a hidden gem in the middle of St. James. You won't be disappointed.

I wish I could give this place zero stars. My family has come to Tru Salon for multiple haircuts and have had ZERO consistency with the first cut being okay to the next being totally unacceptable. The cuts are uneven and when asking for 3-4 inches trimmed, the hairdressers cut 8-10 inches. I went in for a haircut last summer and not only did she cut double of what she was supposed to, it was essentially a blunt cut when I asked for layers. My younger sister went in and received an extremely uneven haircut. Recently, my other sister went in for a haircut and asked for a 4 inch trim and when she

Just left after my first visit, and had to review this place. The rating I gave is for the stylist who did my hair. Her name is Gloria, and she totally rocked my cut! Went there today after doing online research to find a stylist I felt could achieve the look I wanted. I have short thick hair. I like to let my hair do it's own thing. I don't force it at all. Gloria was able to style it, thin it and finish it to a look that is funky, sassy and makes me feel great!
The salon is spotless clean and comfortable without being pretentious. The accompanying staff is friendly and welcoming. Prices

I took my 19 year old son for a hair cut and style consult. I had some hesitation about spending $50.00 with only positive reviews online to go on. Would my son get the information and haircut he needed? We normally spend $15 to $20 for his haircut. My son has a regular short haircut like Daniel Craig. Nothing complicated, but he needed direction on how to best manage his style.
We walk in and we're greeted by the nicest receptionist. She checked us in and offered us refreshment as she guided us to relax while we waited. The receptionist was very attentive for our short wait.

A salon of this high quality should be in NYC but fortunately it is tucked right in our community. The talent of the staff is unmatched and their professionalism makes every customer feel glamourous. Be sure to shop the exclusive line of shampoos and hair products... the mens shampoo is the best with a touch of peppermint.

I have short hair. After 30 years with the same stylist, I needed to find a new haircutter. After a protracted search, I found Casey at Tru Salon. Reviews said she was proficient at cutting short hair. I saw Casey this morning and I am thrilled with my haircut! The cut is clean, neat and exactly what I had in mind! Thanks, Casey!

If I could give an infinite amount of stars, I would. I read about Tru online and contacted them through Yelp. Cheryl wrote back to me almost immediately and was beyond accommodating in making an appointment. She also said because my son was donating it (he is in remission with cancer), they would not charge.
We arrived a few minutes early to consult with Brian. I am not exaggerating when I say that EVERY person we encountered asked us if we needed anything. We had a small entourage, as it was a big day for him. They were so understanding about us being paparazzi and taking a bazillion photos

I have been going to this salon for over 10 years and I wouldn't want to go anywhere else. I use Brian for my haircut, but any haircut done there always looks great! I also use most of their products as they have their own product line and they are all amazing. I have used various hair colorists over the years and felt that everyone knew what they were doing and listened to what I was going for. I highly recommend this salon.

I had a bad experience at this salon. I was running late so I called them in advance and let them know. I told them I was 20 minutes away, but the lady insisted my appointment be moved up 15 minutes only. I told her I probably would not make it in time, so she replied "ok, let's see how it goes, let's see if you can make it or not". Once I arrived due to traffic I was still 15 mins late for the rescheduled appointment. So I offered to reschedule for another day 2-3 times once I arrived, but each time the stylist assured me it was no problem saying that she had time for

Services here are average, a little expensive for what you get. Nothing spectacular. Reason for the 2 star review is because the lady in the front was very mean towards the young girls working there. Not sure of her name but she seems to be the receptionist there. Hopefully her attitude changes towards her fellow employees.

What a wonderful salon, got a haircut yesterday and it was probably one of the best of my life. Let's start with the salon itself, it's a beautiful space Lobby is big and very clean w beautiful displays of all their products. Now about my haircut. My hair stylist was Christopher, and he is the man. Went in for my first haircut and sat with him for an hour to discuss exactly what I wanted. He is very knowledgeable and was able to offer great advice. And when he got to cutting my hair, he used scissors. That's how a haircut should be not all with a buzzer, like most barber shops. and

I had the most disappointing experience at this salon and I didn't even get a haircut.
I had sent Tru a message several days ago asking if they gave discounts for people wishing to donate their hair, which I was. After they said they did I was ecstatic and ask them to book me an appointment. I was told to come in at 7pm on Thursday (today).
I went there tonight with my mom and was greeted by an almost empty salon. The receptionist asked if I was there for a 7pm appt, which I was. She then informed me it was booked for the wrong time and I was scheduled for 4pm. I showed her the email with

Best haircut ever. New loyal follower. Not your typical Long Island salon.
Let me start off by saying that I have been a loyal customer of Bumble and Bumble in NYC since 1997. I have been running at lunch time for years or after work to get my haircut and then trekking home to Long Island. I have recently been disappointed with the service and started researching salons close to home.
I discovered Tru online and read the bio of the owner Brian and was convinced I should give it a try. I made an appointment for color and cut and am now a loyal client!!!!
I have gotten so many compliments

Three words: Helpful, patient, understanding.
I have a hard time with trust and not being in control especially when it comes to my style and hair which was pretty evident from the minute I walked in, I'm sure. For my consultation I must have been there for at least two hours or more because what I want and what my hair can tolerate are two completely different things so it took a while getting to a middle ground on what to do with it. They even did a test strip to see what it can handle. I booked an appointment for the following week.

The staff at TRU do an excellent job. I actually drive from Hampton Bays to Saint James to get my hair done here. The staff are really laid back but do an excellent job.
I see Danielle for my color. She does a fantastic job getting me to the exact blonde shade that I adore. Plus she's fun to talk to and makes the time fly by. The coloring area is fun because the clients sit at one big table and can talk to each other while getting their services done or tune out to watch TV or read a magazine. Angelica does my hair cuts and she rocks it every time. The decor is modern, clean, and trendy
