About

Cactus Salon and Spa has been serving Long Island communities since 1978. Its five locations are in Commack, East Islip, Huntington, Stony Brook and Deer Park, where the Cactus Regency site is listed as headquarters. Not every location offers the same menu: hair, color, chemical and conditioning services appear at most of them, while nails, facials, waxing, lashes and massage are offered at some locations and not others.

The business states that its mission is complete client satisfaction, built on professionalism and innovation. It describes its services as among the most cutting edge in the industry and says it offers the services and amenities clients look for today; those are the salon's own claims. It also says additional education and expert training are offered to all hairdressers and assistants.

Chemical services are a large part of the menu. The salon says Brazilian keratin treatments are among the most requested chemical services among women. Options include Brazilian Blowout, keratin straightening, Brazilian straightening, Magic Sleek, Pro Addiction, Japanese straightening, Keratin Color Lock, Keratin Glazing Smoothing and Color Lock, Brazilian Split End Correction, and perms.

Color services cover balayage, foilayage, babylights, curlyage, full and partial highlights, halo highlights, color melt, ombre, face frames, root smudges, base breaks, glazes and single or double process color. Money pieces are priced at $5 per foil in Commack. Fashion color, color correction, corrective color and custom color series are priced after a consultation. The Huntington page describes a custom color as a look that needs more than one technique, such as highlights, lowlights, root melt, gloss or tip-out, discussed at consultation.
