  Charles is an amazing colorist!!! i have not highlighted my hair in 10 years but Charles did a beautiful job highlighting my dark brown hair with some subtle highlights. I'm actually going to make an apt in a few months and have him add more highlights because I completely trust him. He also did a great job with my deva set as he used a new styling foam which left me with beautiful curls. Charles also works in the city for those of you who can't make it to White plains.

  Review:

  I went to Lois the other day for a shaping and also for a hair trial. My sisters wedding will be in August and she is having her hair done by Lois that day. She told me what an amazing job she did and that I should think about having my hair done there also. Lois gave me a fabulous cut, not taking much off because I am growing it really long again. Right now its below my collarbone on its way to bra strap length. Jezel then cleansed with No poo and One condition. She then applied Arc Angel to my soaking wet hair, scrunched with her hands as I flipped my head and leaned over. She also went over everything she was doing in detail. I liked the trick with the paper towel scrunching! I never thought it would work. Jezel then used the clips to give me lots of height in the front then placed me under the hood to dry. My hair dried in 30 minutes which is fast for my hair. Lois then scrunched it but i told her I didn't want the curls broken up too much because I was going out later and I would do it myself. It looked awesome! We also went over the different options for when I get my hair done for the wedding and she showed me a couple of alternative styles. I was very pleased with the services I received from all the employees of this salon. I highly recommend Devachan Salon in White Plains. Especially if NYC is a hassle for you to get to.

  Review:

  I can not emphasize enough how wonderful my experience with Lois was today! I walked into the salon with a mop of thick frizzy hair that I have been trying to tame my whole life and walked out with the most gorgeous shiny curls. When I arrived Lois spent a long time just talking with me and running her fingers through my knots! I felt immediately at ease. We explained how she envisioned my style, and what products I should be using. Watching Lois transform my hair was in a word...AMAZING! She is a brilliant stylist and artist. Rini was the young man who washed and set my hair ( ahhhhh....like being at a spa) and after the dryer I could not believe the gorgeous results.Lois checked my hair...again explained how to care for my new curls...and told me I'd be good for about 6 months! This makes my haircut much more affordable than I imagined. I feel like I was truly glowing when I left Devachan, and my 2 teenage girls and husband can honestly not believe the transformation. I can not thank Lois enough for everything she did to honestly make me feel so beautiful. My only regret.....that I did not know about Lois and Devachan earlier!

  Review:

  Went to Devachan in November 2010 and Thelma gave me the best cut ever, not only that but she explained in detail what she was going to do. She didnt cut that much, but it was how she cut it. She told me to go back in April. They explained to me how to wash and care for my hair which I have followed and people have told me that my hair looks great! I know its bc Thelma gave me a great cut and I've also followed her advice in caring for my hair. Everyone there is very friendly and professional. Also, one of my biggest pet peeves is when I go to a salon and they wash my hair, it's usually so uncomfortable - not at Devachan. I lay down and I almost don't want to get up! I definitely recommend it to anyone with curly hair looking for a great stylist specializing in curly hair. I cant wait until April to go back!

  Review:

  This was my first time at this salon in Westchester County. I am so glad that I went! It is much easier to get here and less hectic than the NYC salon. Robert was my stylist. What a sweetheart! He was very kind and knowledgable and made sure to listen to me and find out what I was looking for in my haircut while also suggesting a cut that would frame my face better. What a difference! I LOVE MY HAIRCUT!! I also appreciated the woman who washed and styled my hair and taught me how to style my hair myself at home. I didn't get her name, but she was a lovely woman with amazing kinky curls. Actually, everyone who worked there had gorgeous hair. I would highly recommend this salon and will be coming back - often! My only "con" if any, is the high price tag. My cut was about $150, which is high for me. I don't have to go back as often, however, so I feel that the cost will balance out and is worth it. I do wish they listed their prices for hair services on their website, just so customers know what to expect. I have gotten a few haircuts at the Ouidad salon, the other curly salon in NYC, and I like Devachan better. The cut was better, the products work better for my hair and have less "bad stuff" in them (chemicals, sulfates, etc) and I liked the styling better. Thank you Devachan!

  I went back to Lois the end of October (26) after having seen her in June. For the second time I received an amazing haircut. I am letting it grow and just needed a little shaping. She hardly took anything off but when we were done a transformation had occurred! Amazing as usual! I can't recommend this salon enough and the wonderful staff that work there also. Don't walk to Devachan, run!

  This was the best Salon experience I've ever had! I am a 60+ woman with corkscrew curls. It was the first time I've ever left a Salon with a style that I can actually wear without pulling my hair back. The cut was fabulous, the color perfect, and the rinse and style exceptional. Not only was my hair well hydrated, but my body was as well with non-stop offerings of ice tea and water. What a pleasantly surprising afternoon! Thank you. . .

  Review:

  Hands down the best stylist ever! My sister recommended her to me and it was a fabulous experience. She took the time to analyze my bone structure and then inform me of the type of style that would look best with it. She also was very respectful of my wishes to grow my hair long again and told me I shouldnt need another cut for at least 6-8 months. Talk about an honest stylist. Last time I was told to come in every 8 weeks. If I had done that I would have no hair on my head! Rini was the wonderful young man who cleansed, massaged and then pinned my hair before placing me under the diffuser. Afterwards Lois checked and double checked my hair to make sure it was just right. Everyone else working there couldnt have been friendlier.

  Review:

  Meg did a great job cutting my hair! This was my first dry cut and I was a bit nervous but the results are amazing. Overall my experience was great with this salon. However, I returned a week after my cut to review the styling process. When I told Meg I wasn't using the Devachan products, she no longer wanted to explain anything to me. She said that their methods only work with their products. I'm having good success with the products of my choice because of the excellent cut at Devachan.

  Thelma cut my hair and Amy washed it, in case you were wondering. I love my hair so much after the cut. They both were friendly and my hair looks amazing. I got tips on hair care, which were highly needed for me. I loved the salon. (and my hair smells like apple!):D

  Review:

  I was happy to be able to go to white plains for a Deva cut from Sophie who had done a great job a year ago. This time was good too, she did both my cutting and the no pooing since it was at end of day. The salon is a bit hard to find and the street-signage is low key. The place was just about empty at 5:15, which is a big change from NYC. Sophie spent lots of time on each curl and my hair curls up really well now, much more bouncy than it was after not having been cut for over 11 months. I will go back again.

  Review:

  For many years I have been a client of Carlos of Devachan in NYC and I couldn't wait for the new salon in White Plains NY to open up so I could set up an appointment. Well, I finally went yesterday (9/2/09) and it was fabulous. The experience was just like the one I had in the city. The set up of the salon is gorgeous, with the long tables you lay on to have your hair "no pooed" and massaged. It felt so good I almost fell asleep on the table. The stylist that cut my hair yesterday was Thelma (pronounced with a silent H). She was incredible and spent so much time explaining what she was going to do before she did it with me. I was highly impressed. I HIGHLY recommend Devachan Salon in White Plains NY for people who can't get to the salon in NYC or don't want to go into the city. The cut is a little pricey but if I end up going less (I am growing it out) than I would going to a regular stylist, because the cut lasts longer, then its worth every penny! Also, the staff were very friendly and couldn't do enough to make my stay enjoyable. One other highlight of my visit to Devachan was the Strawberry/Kiwi/fruit ice tea drink they serve in champagne glasses. Thanks Lorraine for a wonderful salon in Westchester County!

  I had my first haircut a year after my big chop with Lorraine at the new White Plains Devachan location. She treated my hair like it was a prize and actually saved the "fallen curls" to bring home with her. She went through my tight coils and cut curl by curl. I'm obsessed with my haircut and would trust no one but a Deva stylist to cut my hair. Lorraine is the best!
