Transformative! I had an amazing experience at 21 Godwin. The owner fit me in despite a busy day. I've been frequenting many high end salons in NY and NJ but finally found my spot. She gave me exactly what I wanted, quickly and easily and to make the experience even more wonderful was the impressive array of skincare, hair care, teas and tinctures that she has carefully developed and crafted with years of experience and talent. Her skin serum is nothing short of a miracle and has balanced and smoothed my very problematic skin to the point that my sister thought she didn't have her glasses on when looking at me! Amazing business and owner that Ridgewood is lucky to have! So happy to have found this lovely business! read more

Ahh, where to begin! I called at 3:30 on a Friday desperate for an appointment after my other Salon called and cancelled last minute. I called and April was able to take me at 4, for a single process balayage! I was so impressed and thankful for that. When I got there I was greeted by the receptionist (I don't remember her name but she was fabulous too, she did a great job curling my hair)! April did an amazing job on my hair, and even fixed my bangs that I decided to cut myself that morning! I would recommend this salon to anyone! It's so cute and homey inside too! April did all the decorating herself!! See you guys soon!! read more

I went to do a trial today for an updo, I asked if we could try at least two types of styles since it was a trial they said yes as long as is within my hour. Once I get there I show him the beautiful picture on the top left and asked him to pls do this updo. "I get absolutely i can totally do this"... needless to say I ended up looking like a hot mess the style doesn't look like the picture at all not only that but within the HR that was supposed to be mine he's texting then he needs to play music before he starts and picks up the business phone 3 times and anyone point he sits down and is asking someone on the other line to stop yelling at him(again during the time that I paid full price for), at the end; this was my one look after paying full price for an updo he said he didn't want to get too into it until the day I come back for the actual event. By the way the pictures that you see is after me telling him that I didn't like the look of the hair in the front at all. There was no one there only other employees and I did t want to embarrass him or be obnoxious and complain, I even gave him a tip and he pushed for me to make the appointment for the say of the event, I proceeded to make it to avoid a confrontation. I called after 15 minutes of leaving he answered the call and I asked him to cancel the appointment, he just said ok and hung up the phone. Save yourself the trouble and skip this place. read more

I came here after reading good reviews online and booked an appointment with Arielle. She did a spectacular job on my balayage and color. She took her time (and much patience) getting the color just right. Look at the photo - her work speaks for itself. Don't let her young age fool you - she is extremely talented and knows what she is doing! The staff is welcoming and friendly, and I left after my first appointment knowing without a doubt that I'd return. The owner April's touch is evident throughout (love her handiwork in the decor). A real gem in the area. read more

I desperately wanted to find a new hair stylist close to where I live, that was taking new clients during the Pandemic, and was reasonably priced. April hit 100% on all my expectations! My single process color, painted low lites, and cut were amazing and looked very natural! The painting is such an artistic touch! Cannot ask for better service during these times (single appt slots only in the salon, masks, and everything is very clean). Would highly recommend! read more

This is one of the first times I've come out of a salon and absolutely loved my hair with no complaints at all! Jackie did an amazing job with my hair.

Jackie asked me lots of questions and ran everything she did by me. She took her time with my hair and made sure it looked perfect! Would definitely recommend! read more

So...I have been looking for a hairdresser for 5 years. I have short hair and the cuts I have gotten were all so blah or worse. Then I found 21 Godwin. From the moment you walk into this comfortable, lovely salon you feel welcomed. April, the owner of the salon, sat down with me and showed me specific styles of short hair that would work for me. We settled on a cut and I could not be more pleased! I felt like a new woman walking out of 21 Godwin. The cut is easy to maintain, and I have gotten many compliments on the style. Finally, I have found the perfect salon and hairdresser! Parking is pretty much on-street, so bring a bunch of quarters to feed the meter...they allow for up to 3 hours @ .25/15 min. read more

I absolutely love 21 Godwin! From the service to the ambiance & products, April is an amazing owner & top notch hair stylist! I recommend everyone near and far to come visit.

I had a stylist named Jackie (I think) and she was lovely! I had made an appointment to go to DryBar to get my hair done for a wedding and the day before I decided to try this place that I can walk to from my house instead. I'm so happy I did! She did a wonderful job with the blow out and curls and listened to exactly what I wanted in adding a braid. She was nice, asked a lot of questions as to what I wanted, and was very attentive. I would definitely go back. read more

Love this place! April is so accommodating. Called 1h before the actual appointment! She is also very creative and makes my hair look great!

I'm not a big yelper, but I need to give credit where credit is due. I just got my hair highlighted at 21 Godwin and I walked out elated. I had been hearing good things from friends about the quality of their services and finally checked it out. I am so happy I got my ass in April's chair. I have had a lot of sub par color work done on my hair and went in apprehensive. I apparently had nothing to fear as April worked her magic to return me to the perfect sunny blonde I had asked for. Everyone in this shop is super personable and made me feel like one of the gang. It was an ideal salon experience, I was in and out in no time, enjoyed my time there and left looking pretty damn good. The prices are some of the best I've seen in the area. Bonus- The salon itself is a gorgeous eclectic mix of function and style. I will definitely be back. read more

I made a last minute appointment for a haircut last night and am so glad that I did. April was fantastic. The overall experience was incredibly personalized and April really took the time to get to know my hair and ensure that I walked out with a great cut. I absolutely recommend 21 Godwin. The service was great and the natural products were just an added bonus that didn't weigh down my fine hair. read more

I decided to try this salon because it's a quick and easy salon close to work. For my first visit, I went all in. I walked in with hair halfway down my back and out with a new bob! John was my stylist and I will definitely go back! Friendly atmosphere and I felt like I had been going there for years! John was extremely easy going and wanted to be sure I left happy. He is very talented and skilled and I've received so many compliments, including a friend who is also a stylist in another city! read more

Best salon ever! Just kidding I got awful color done by Lisa and my grandmother got USED OLD and dry extensions. Definitely NOT worth the money read more

Over the years I've been to numerous stylists in NYC, and some very high end salons, but grew weary of the commute in, so I sought a salon closer to me. After a string of mediocre haircuts in N.J. I happened upon 21 Godwin through Yelp and booked a haircut appointment with the owner, April. When I arrived she immediately noticed that I was coloring my hair at home, and despite me only having an appointment for a hair cut, she took it upon herself to fit me in her busy schedule and color my hair "properly". My hair was literally two toned from using in home kits. I was immediately impressed that she wanted to help me look my best. April was a true professional in every sense. Great conversation and styling skills that rival any of the $100+ salons I visited in Manhattan. I left that salon looking and feeling tremendous. The staff, as well, are kind and courteous. Truly, highly recommended. One of the best salons in the NJ/NY area. read more

I was on a mission on a Friday to get highlights in my hair after canceling an appt at a different salon. All places local to me were either booked or closing since it was late. I decided to call 21 Godwin after checking yelp and seeing great reviews. I should mention again it was like 5:30 on a Friday evening and they were closing in a half hour! I called and was told I can come in, and I would be seeing Laura. I had mini consultation with Laura, and let her know I was using jet black box dye for the past 2 years, and I wanted a golden/bronde balayage. She was upfront and told me I might get a reddish tone first because of my dark hair but she would do her best. To start off, all the employees there were great, and Laura was super nice. She spent about almost four hours lifting my hair color and doing foils. She even stayed late after to style it. It looked great leaving the salon, and now that the color has worn in, I can definitely see it has the golden tone I wanted, although I will lighten it in the future to get the exact tone. I would definitely recommend seeing Laura! read more

This salon is amazing. Decor is like a salon you would see in NYC. Everyone is super friendly and Jackie is the best colorist I have been to. Definitely check 21 Godwin out...you won't be disappointed! read more

April and Bart at 21 Godwin helped give me an amazing wedding day! The up-do and makeup was perfect. I wanted to find a salon in Ridgewood that was near to our ceremony. 21 Godwin wound up being a great choice. The salon is very cutely decorated, and has a fun, relaxed atmosphere. I got so many compliments on my hair and makeup. Women thought I must have had airbrushed makeup, it looked so good. And they where so good about taking the time to do it well, so I wouldn't have to worry about it all day. And I really didn't. It looked just as good at midnight when the party ended, as at 1pm when I left the salon. read more

I have become a regular here, because the stylings i've had are consistently excellent. My stylist, April, is also one of the few people I have found that I trust to color my hair in a way that appears natural. It happens to be a comfortable space that is tastefully designed. read more
