Salon Rai is an independent hair studio in West Babylon, New York, on the South Shore of Long Island, and has operated since 2019. Amanda Schulz began working on her own out of a small salon suite before opening the studio. The business describes itself as a Halo Couture Exclusive Salon.
Much of the menu centers on blonding. Services include all-over color from roots to ends, dimensional color built on natural dimension, reverse blonding that darkens hair by melting the natural root or adding low lights, and refreshing work along the part and around the face. Tone maintenance, suggested every six to eight weeks, combines a custom glaze, a treatment and a trim. Root color is a touch-up color that the salon describes as providing 100% grey coverage.
New clients complete a request form covering hair history and goals, and send three photos, before booking. A credit card must be kept on file to schedule any service. Cancellations made within 48 hours are charged half of the booked service, and no-shows or same-day cancellations are charged the full amount. Cancellations and reschedules are made by calling the salon at 631.823.1622. There are no refunds, but small adjustments are made within seven days of the original service date. Gratuity can be given in cash or through Venmo, not on cards.
Prices are starting points and may rise depending on the stylist, hair length, thickness, time and products used, and they may change at any time without notice.
