Sanctuary Hair Studio

Sanctuary Hair Studio moved last year to a new upscale salon/day spa at 135 Lafayette Road in Rye. So any complaints/reviews after Sept. 2007 are actually for Samba Salon which took over the location.

The people that work at this salon are COMPLETELY unprofessional. I had an appointment in the morning , every stylist (including my own) was late. So, I sat there while two people completely bashed the owner about how she has "double standards". My stylist finally arrived...telling everyone how hungover she was...how she "hooked up" with a hot guy...and did not have a chance to go home and shower/change. It is too bad because the haircut was decent, but I would never return to a place that was so unprofessional. I am not easy to offend, but on a Saturday morning when you have plans to get your hair done you want to relax and enjoy the experience...which I did not, to say the least.

Samba Salon rocks (formerly Hair sanctuary). Maura is awesome. Its been a long time since "I could say love my hair" I took a leap of faith and had Maura use her new Hair Straightening system. The results are awesome. 2 weeks later and I am so glad I took the leap of faith- check it out- you won't be dissapointed!!

Pros: Ambiance and service are awesome

Cons: park in the parking garage- not so bad

I went in to get my hair done and the woman who had already started cutting and coloring my hair started crying and telling me about how she just found out her friend died. I felt really bad for her, but I wish she had told me before she started hacking my hair to shreds and making my hair color look like a zebra, she should have rescheduled or had someone else do it. When I went to the owner he said he would fix it. He made me sit and wait for 3 hours and then he put 2 foils in my hair and made it worse. Then he was laughing at me. I couldn’t believe it! Then someone there finally tried to fix it and did what they could to get me through until I could set up an appointment to get my hair fixed again somewhere else. This place was terrible and I hope you never go here they will ruin your hair!!!!

Pros: There was nothing good about my experience here

Cons: This place was so bad, I wouldnt put a thumb up or down... they might either cut it off, or laugh at it. I dont know what is worse...

I was referred to Maura and Christi @ Sanctuary Hair Studio by The Wentworth By the Sea this past summer. My wedding party and I had such a wonderful experience on such a chaotic morning. The receptionist was welcoming, the stylists were ready for us and happy to make some great suggestions. I suggest going in with a few pictures and open mind. These women know what they are doing and are true artists at their professions. The two stylists I was referred to are obviously very close and work well together. They had us all laughing and relaxing. The rest of the talented staff were all very friendly and happy to help when we had one more person decide at the last minute she wanted an updo, too. I just wish I had realized they did extentions as well. I saw a couple girls who had them and they were amazing! You'd never know it wasn't their real hair. The colors were perfectly matched including the highlights.... I might be going back soon for that!

Pros: very energentic and fun

Cons: parking

I have been going to Sanctuary Hair Studio for four years now. I cannot begin to tell you how happy I am with the service I recieve when I'm there, and the STYLE I take with me when I leave! I had never had a sylist really work with my face and give me a style that actually works, until I came here. Thank god I found Ralph and Amy, they work wonders!

Pros: Relaxed atmosphere, Friendly
