For your own private hair stylist . . .

Trim by the Gym
3728 Park Ave., Wantagh
(516) 318-5793

If privacy and undivided attention while getting your hair done sounds appealing, then look no further. Tucked away on the east side of World Gym, a salon that’s the opposite of today’s busy large ones, has opened its doors. Trim by the Gym is small and intimate, with two hair styling stations and one owner/stylist. Barbara Biscardi, a hair stylist for 38 years, operates it all by herself.

“This is a place to get VIP treatment in a private setting,” says Biscardi. “And if you happen to be a member of World Gym, you’ll get 20 percent off.” Trim by the Gym is next to the World Gym pool but has its own entrance. Gym members can enjoy the convenience of a one-stop exercise session followed by a hair styling session. Who wouldn’t like to get to the office after a morning workout, looking great after a professional blowout?

Trim by the Gym is new, and the product of Biscardi’s life-long dream. Married with four sons in college and beyond, she felt it was time for her own career move. She had freelanced in hair styling while the boys grew up, and now it was time for her. Way “back in the day,” when she was only 17 and starting out, her father had convinced her that one day she should have her own salon.

Barbara Biscardi knows the community well and vise versa, as she married and moved to Wantagh for over 30 years ago. Her four boys were all heavily involved in school sports, and the family became known as “The Biscuits.”

Biscardi’s husband built the salon from ground up. There are two chairs, a shampoo sink, TV, radio, and everything else you’d need to do color and hair styling. “It’s homey,” she said. “Each customer gets my complete attention and will get exactly what they want.” She does all types of color, perms, cuts, Keratin treatments and blowouts, for women, men and children. She keeps in synch with the latest trends and technologies.

Trim by the Gym offers numerous promotions. First-time customers will get half-priced services (except Keratin.) Seniors receive 20 percent off on Wednesdays. If it’s your birthday, you get a free cut and blow dry. As mentioned, World Gym members get a discount too.

Right now hours are 8 to 11 a.m. and 4 to 8 p.m. on Wednesday and Thursday, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Friday, and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday. Biscardi intends to be flexible, changing and/or adding hours and days as the need arises.
