Best Hair Salons In Clark

“So there are two listings for the same salon. I will be duplicating this review for the other listing since there are two.
This listing and reviews are what brought me to Waves.
I needed a haircut badly. My hair had many dead ends and was frizzing and tangling easily.
After seeing whose name came up the most I went to Noreen for my cut and style.
Booking the appointment was so easy. I made the appointment online which was great for me. It was also a day they were closed so I didn’t have to worry about waiting for them to open and forgetting to call. I can always book it whenever. And the text/email reminders were so helpful.
I was worried about parking but that turned out to be a nonissue. The area of Cranford is very nice but isn’t as busy as the downtown area. It is street parking. But not metered. And I found a spot right out front in the shade! It is currently an excessive heat watch so shade is helpful. And I mean it was right out front and it was an end spot so I didn’t even have to parallel park.
I got there a little early. Checked in and everyone was very nice. They made sure I didn’t park in the back lot which is for residents. So helpful.
I met Noreen and she was so very nice.
I got my hair washed by Fiona and she was also very nice. Easy to chat with. The chair and sink were very comfortable. Sometimes the sinks hurt my neck but this was not an issue. It was very relaxing.
Then Noreen and I talked about what I wanted done with my hair. She made extra sure that I was comfortable with the length of my hair and my new curtain bangs and face frame. Did exactly what I wanted and did it amazingly!
Sometimes stylists want to “thin” out my thick hair or give me layers but I prefer not to get that done. Noreen did not do this which I appreciated. She really was attentive. Again she also was so easy to talk to. So friendly.
She knew I was going out that night and styled my hair wonderfully. Even told me how to freshen it up later and how to recreate the look on my own.
I was curious about the MagicShield keratin treatment and she told me everything about it! Not only the price but how long it would take, four hours, which is important information! Informed on everything. It was very helpful.
Finally I’ll just comment on the salon itself. It’s pretty large but not crowded which is nice. Plenty of space between stylists so you’re not crammed in. It looks very sleek. Plenty of light. A nice sitting area. I really do love how open it was. It was also clean and updated. Lots of natural light as well.
There was no surprise charges and they even had Apple Pay available. The receptionist knew who washed my hair and everything I had done. I was able to leave a tip in an envelope with her so I didn’t have to find or interrupt anyone.
So to sum it up I will be going back and I do highly suggest this salon.

Requested style: I wanted a significant amount of hairs cut and a curtain bang that flowed into a face frame.

Hair type: Very long hair to a tad longer than shoulder length. Very thick and takes longer to cut and is harder to cut well. Noreen cut it amazingly well.

Stylist: Noreen was amazing and so very nice. Was able to handle my thick hair.“

“Love this salon! Staff treat all of their clients like family. My hair stylist is Alisha. Wendy does my shampoo. Amazing gals! Highly recommend this hair studio.“

“I recently took my mom to Jenn for a Brazilian blowout after a colleague’s recommendation, and we couldn't be happier with the results! Jenn did an amazing job transforming my mom's hair, and she left feeling absolutely thrilled with the outcome. Not only is Jenn incredibly skilled at what she does, but her kind and personable nature made the entire experience a joy. She is also very informative about everything she’s doing. I highly recommend Jenn for anyone looking for a talented and friendly hairstylist“

“Barka is truly the best! Gentle and sweet. Cut my son’s hair fast and with ease, and listened to what I was looking for. She offered feedback and suggested what would work best for the way his hair grows. Great experience!“

“Amazing stylists from hair to color and waxing technique. Lucy is my girl, she is brilliant with all hair types and knows what you need before you even ask. I will never go anywhere else. Reasonably priced and beyond worth it. I walk out feeling gorgeous and pampered every time. Not to mention great chat with a group of strong and amazing gals! Thank you ladies!“

“Tara is a great stylist. She has been doing my hair for years. She really knows color. She even did my hair for my wedding making me feel like a princess. I have wavy thick dark hair. She also did an amazing job on my extensions.“

“I love this place Heather does amazing work . I'm very particular w my cuts n she always gives a super nice cut. Off the charts the best ...“

“First time coming here and surely not the last! Great friendly staff! Stephanie was absolutely amazing! She did my color, highlights, cut and style. Totally loved it! Thank you Stephanie, you're the best!!“

“JC hair design did an INCREDIBLE job for my wedding hair. I felt so beautiful with the way they did my hair. They really made my vision come true, and made me feel like a princess. I worked with Jessica and Lilliana on my wedding day hair and I LOVED it. They also did hair for my whole wedding party and did an amazing job. I also danced the whole night, and my hair still looked great by the end of the night“

“I had been struggling to find a place to get my haircut since moving to New Jersey. I came across this on Google and could tell from the reviews and photos it would be perfect. There are massage chairs for when you get your hair washed and they offer a hot towel. Then my hair was cut and styled exactly how I had asked and it was very reasonably priced. This will now be my go to hair salon.“

“Vanessa is the best stylist I’ve ever had BY FAR - not only did she turn my brassy into the best ashy color I’ve EVER had, (per my request), but she gave me the best haircut ever! I had my 1st cut/highlights/shadow melt/toner/glaze with her, & I can confidently say she will be my stylist for life. From our convos to her pure talent for cosmetology, she’s by far the best stylist I’ve been to, and I was a cosmetologist for a few years - so, I am VERY picky with who does my hair! She’s very fair with pricing as well, which I appreciate-but, I’d pay too dollar to get my hair done by her b/c of her talent. HIGHLY recommend, just please save space for me in her book!“

“I’ve been going to this salon for over a decade and I have never left less than exceptionally happy. Elder is a master stylist. His experience in the hair industry is unmatched. He is a true master of his craft.“

“I have been going to Roxanna for over two years now and she is amazing. She is consistent and talented. She has helped me grow my hair longer than it ever has been. Her products are awesome as well.“

“I love this place! It’s so beautiful, stocked with tons of snacks and drinks (huge plus for someone like me who is always hungry ?), and all the stylists do an incredible job. They don’t try to change my hair into something it isn’t; they instead bring out the best qualities of my hair and make it look SO good every time. It doesn’t matter who you get; everyone does an exceptional job and listens carefully to my hair goals. I have been going to Amber consistently, and I would be remiss if I didn’t give her a special shout-out for being not just a great hair stylist, but a beautiful and good-hearted person as well. She is super welcoming, professional, and talented!
Thank you to the team at Bella Capelli for always treating me like a queen and making my hair look amazing!! God bless all ya’ll ?“
