“I cannot recommend Lock & Shade highly enough! From start to finish, their team was an absolute dream to work with. As a bride, finding the right hair and makeup artist was crucial for me. So I asked my photographer for recommendations and she mentioned Lock & Shade, I am so thrilled to say that they exceeded all my expectations.
Blaise, the Salon + Bridal Coordinator, was incredibly responsive from the very beginning. Their attention to detail and commitment to ensuring I was happy with every aspect was truly impressive.
The trial session was a fantastic experience. The artists (Deanna and Gina) were patient, listened to all my feedback, and made adjustments until I was completely satisfied. They provided expert advice on what would work best for my wedding vision while still making sure I felt like myself.
On the big day, the team arrived on time and with such a calming presence that it immediately put me and anyone else getting hair and makeup at ease. They worked efficiently without ever making me or anyone else feel rushed. The hair and makeup were flawless. My look lasted all day and night, through tears, laughter, and dancing!
The team at Lock & Shade made me feel like the most beautiful version of myself. Their skill, professionalism, and warm personalities made my wedding day even more special. If you’re looking for hair and makeup artists who truly care about making you feel amazing, look no further. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!
Thank you, Lock & Shade, for making my bridal beauty dreams come true!“
“I had the pleasure of having my hair cut and styled by Ella at Savvy Salon. I couldn't be happier with the results! Ella demonstrated exceptional skill and professionalism throughout my appointment. What impressed me the most was her attentiveness to detail and her ability to listen carefully to my preferences.
Under the guidance of her boss Sheri, Ella executed the hairstyle exactly as I had envisioned. She took the time to understand what I wanted and offered insightful suggestions that enhanced the final look. Her technique was precise, and the end result was flawless.
Moreover, the atmosphere at Savvy was not only meticulous but also welcoming from the front desk person and other stylists as well. Ella and Sheri created a comfortable environment. They were both friendly and approachable, making the entire experience enjoyable.
I would highly recommend Ella to anyone looking for a talented and dedicated hairstylist. Her commitment to delivering excellent service while learning from her mentor Sheri truly shines through.“
“I've been going to Harlow West for years and Miki never disappoints!! My hair is very thick, and she is the only hair stylist that knows how to properly cut thick hair. Also, she is an amazing makeup artist, very knowledgeable and takes her time to perfect your hair and makeup. Always a pleasant experience and I'm so grateful to have her as my hair stylist! 100% recommend!!“
“Please do not hesitate!!!
I am so grateful Kay was recommended to me!!
She is professional, more than qualified, and enjoys her craft.
Kay has an amazing young approach for which I truly benefited from. I am 60 years old and I wish I didn’t wait so long!!“

“I called Lauryn because my skincare obsessed daughter was turning 9 and for her birthday I wanted to get her an age appropriate facial with a tutorial about how she should properly take care of her skin, and which products to use and which to avoid. The only knowledge my daughter had was what her friends have told her that they learned from TikTok.Lauryn was amazing from beginning to end. She planned a wonderful experience for my daughter, complete with balloons which decorated the studio for her birthday. She gave my daughter a wonderful facial and hand massage that did nothing to her delicate, sensitive skin other than make it glow. She also gave her lots of tips and tricks that she could use to care for her skin going forward.My daughter loved it so much and afterward she told me that she thought she needed a facial every month. I told her to start saving ?. Thank you Lauryn for helping me give my daughter the best birthday surprise.“
“Staff is always welcoming and attentive. My girl, Tara, can work magic! She is multifaceted: all age cuts and coloring/highlights“
“Lea Deloy has been my personal stylist for over twenty years. Not only does she expertly cut and style short hair like the artist that she is, but she frequently offers recommendations to me with regard to new styles that suit my hair type, face shape and age. Her color is, in my opinion, the best at the Jersey Shore. That aside, I am in the city frequently and am ALWAYS asked who colors, cuts and styles my hair; people are shocked when I mention that I have a stylist I have followed on NJ for twenty years. This shop is the gem in some serious rough as far as NJ salons go…“

Just put your trust in her and you will be estatic. We traveled 500 miles and would gladly do it again for the privledge of having Michele work her magic. She only got 5 stars because I couldn't give her 10.Services: Hair coloring“

She is a sweetheart , listens carefully toExactly what I want and she is SUPER talented. She is passionate about what she does and works hard to make my hair perfect. So glad I found her !“
“I FINALLY found a full service salon that it NYC legit in my neck of the woods. My hair has never looked better! Healthy! Shiny! The color is rich and a little cutting edge without looking juvenile. They use the best products on the market. I trust my stylist. She has NEVER let me down in the four years I've been going.“
“I had the best experience with Stephanie. She listened to me when I told her what I wanted and she delivered exactly what I wanted. Highly recommend. The salon is beautiful and very welcoming. I will be back and tell my friends and family about it.“
“I had a wonderful experience at Beauty and Wellness by Adriana. She did a fabulous job with my color and cut. And I loved the ozone treatment! My hair looks and feels so healthy! Thank you, Adriana!“
“Book them for your wedding! I worked with Jackie for makeup and Janelle for hair.
First of all, i have very thin hair and I was worried because I never did a hair trial. Janelle knew what to do with my hair and made me feel secure my extensions would not show and that sweating would not expose my scalp with the products she used. SHE WAS RIGHT. I was drenched on the dance floor and pretty much everything was still in place the next day. I loved how the hair came out. I showed her an inspo pic and it came out different but better than I had envisioned.
Jackie’s artistry with make-up made me feel like an absolute princess on my wedding day. She is really talented and skilled when it comes to application, coloration, and style. I asked for monochromatic for the wedding day and she really came through for me. She enhances your features and even though you know you’re wearing a lot of make up you still look like YOU! If you are a bride who is
looking for a MUA who has worked with different skin tones and different styles of make up - book Jackie.
Thank you also to Max and Vicki for being at the top of their game - bookings, concerns, smoothness of interaction.
YES YES YES BOOK HOT MESS. ???“
