Finding the right hair colorist on Long Island is one of the most important decisions you can make for your hair. Color done well can completely transform how you look and feel. Color done poorly can take months — or longer — to correct. This guide is designed to help you understand what separates a truly exceptional colorist from an average one, and why clients from across Nassau County choose Tomy B. Salon in Williston Park as their destination for serious color work.
Not every stylist who offers color services is a colorist. True color artistry requires a completely different skill set — an understanding of color theory, hair chemistry, undertones, skin tone analysis, and the technical precision to execute complex techniques consistently. Here’s what to look for when evaluating a colorist on Long Island:
The best colorists have invested heavily in their education — not just cosmetology school, but advanced training in color theory, technique, and product chemistry. Tomy Biton, founder of Tomy B. Salon, trained in France, where many of the most sophisticated color techniques — including balayage — were developed. That foundation, combined with 25+ years of hands-on experience and ongoing education, informs every color decision he makes.
A great colorist never picks up a brush before understanding your hair’s full history, your lifestyle, your skin tone, and your realistic goals. At Tomy B. Salon, every new client receives a complimentary consultation that covers all of these factors — because what happens before the color is applied is just as important as the application itself.
The best colorists refuse to sacrifice hair health for a result. They understand which techniques and products cause damage and choose alternatives whenever possible. Our bleach-free highlighting technique is a direct expression of this philosophy — we use high-lift color instead of bleach because it produces beautiful results without the damage.
The products a colorist uses matter enormously. At Tomy B. Salon, we use color developed with our Italian laboratory partners — pure pigment formulations with no harsh chemicals, no PPDs, and no bleach. The result is richer, longer-lasting color that doesn’t compromise the integrity of your hair.
A colorist who tells you anything is possible in one visit isn’t being honest — they’re telling you what you want to hear. The best colorists will give you a truthful assessment of what your hair can achieve safely, and build a phased plan to get you there. We’d rather earn your trust over multiple appointments than overpromise and underdeliver.
Our signature bleach-free highlighting technique uses high-lift color to lift hair up to 4 shades without the damage associated with bleach. The result is multi-dimensional, natural-looking highlights that last longer and feel healthier than traditional bleach highlights. Full highlights start at $400, partial highlights start at $300.
Tomy trained in France where balayage originated — and it shows. Our balayage is completely freehand, custom-designed for each client’s face shape, skin tone, and natural base color. No two balayage services at our salon look the same. Classic balayage starts at $500.
Color correction is our specialty. If your hair has turned brassy, uneven, or simply isn’t what you were promised at another salon, we can fix it. Color correction requires exceptional technical skill and patience — this is not a service for inexperienced colorists. Pricing is determined after a thorough consultation assessment.
Whether you’re covering gray, refreshing your natural color, or making a dramatic change, our all-over color services use Italian-formulated pure pigments that deliver rich, long-lasting results without harsh chemicals. Base single process starts at $200.
A toner or gloss between color appointments can dramatically refresh the look of your hair — neutralizing brassiness, adding shine, and unifying the overall tone. Toner and tint services start at $125.
Tomy Biton has been transforming hair since 2001, when he opened his first salon in Old Westbury. After relocating to Williston Park in 2015, he has continued to build a reputation as one of Long Island’s most sought-after colorists — known for his meticulous technique, honest consultations, and commitment to hair health.
Tomy’s training in France gave him a foundation in color artistry that goes far beyond what most American cosmetology programs teach. French color technique emphasizes subtlety, dimension, and naturalness — principles that guide every color service we perform.
We partnered with two Italian laboratories to develop our own color line — pure pigment formulations that deliver exceptional depth and vibrancy without the harsh chemicals found in most commercial color brands. This is color you truly cannot get anywhere else on Long Island.
Every color service at Tomy B. Salon is paired with a Lipid Complex or Collagen treatment to protect and nourish your hair throughout the coloring process. This is why our clients’ hair feels healthier after their appointment, not just different in color.
Look for someone with advanced color training, a strong portfolio of work, honest reviews from real clients, and a thorough consultation process. Avoid any colorist who quotes you a price or makes promises before assessing your hair in person.
Base single process starts at $200. Highlights start at $300 (partial) or $400 (full). Balayage starts at $500. Toner and tint starts at $125. All pricing is confirmed during your complimentary consultation — we never surprise clients with unexpected charges.
Yes — all new clients start with a complimentary consultation. We recommend booking in advance as our availability fills up quickly.
Color correction is one of our core specialties. Please come in for a consultation — we’ll assess your hair honestly, explain exactly what needs to be done, and give you a realistic timeline and cost estimate before we begin any work.
