I can't really comment on the cut, my cut was fine. My review is based on the color I received. I showed my stylist an initial picture, I had dark hair and wanted to go lighter. She first said it couldn't be done because it was a big difference, So I showed her a different picture- one that was darker. It was a chocolate brown color and I went in with dark black hair. After the initial bleaching of my whole head, the first color was orange. It was nothing like either of the pictures I showed her, but instead an orange/strawberry/copper color- which I specifically said I wanted to avoid. I was being told that this is exactly like what I had asked for when in fact it was not. After showing how upset I was, they decided to try and fix it. Again, the second color was just one shade darker than before and gave me orange/copper hair again. This time the owner was called, who also tried to convince me that this was an "ash brown"- not even close. After dying it a third time, at this point I had been in the salon for almost 5 hours, the color was still just a darker shade of copper/orange. My appt began at 3:45 and I didn't leave till 9 because they continuously attempted to fix it. After all that, when I was asked what I thought, I stated that this was nothing like anything I had shown my stylist which then prompted the owner to argue with me and try to convince me that this was an entirely different color. What I was most shocked with was that at the end, I was not offered any discount, any opportunity to come back and have it fixed. They knew I was clearly unhappy with my entire experience and made no attempt to remedy it. They asked me to pay full price (which was not cheap) and I was on my way. I am so disappointed with my experience here because I really wanted to like it. But 5 hours in the salon and multiple attempts to fix what was a disaster from the start has now left me with the task of going to get my hair fixed somewhere else and pay for another treatment on top of the money I paid here at this aveda salon. If you have dark hair and want to go lighter, be very cautious as to whether you do it here. I would not recommend. read more

Visited this wonderful salon for the first time yesterday and the experience was AMAZING!! I have never felt so valued as a customer like I did by the awesome staff and my hair stylist Tanya! The most beautiful part of this all was that Tanya and another stylist (didn't catch her name) were both working on me as they applied the toner to make sure my hair is even. I found that gesture of their teamwork as the most memorable part of my visit! Two awesome talented ladies working together to have a great outcome, now that's TEAMWORK!!! Thank you! read more

I had read good things here on Yelp but I am sad to say that my experience did not match the reviews. The most important thing for a hairstylist is to listen to her client but Stephanie S. did not do this. She cut off more hair than I asked for and did not cut in the layers that she had mentioned and that I agreed to. When I was finished with the appointment, the salon staff was more concerned with selling me on more products, a future appointment as well as ensuring that they received their tip. Actually the receptionist asked me if I would like to place my tip on my credit card before she even provided me with the total. I also had an offer/ coupon from Aveda but the receptionist simply told me they were out of the sample rather than providing an alternate sample of equal value as provided for on the offer. read more

Been going MIA Salon in Montclair and have had a positive experience every time, now there is another Mia Salon at Victoria Gardens, which is closer to home, the Salon Is so Nice, Sameha has the best disposition is really nice and does a great job. read more

I have long, thick, frizzy hair and had Kassandra do the Brazilian blow out on me. Wow, the results are amazing!!! I've had blow outs before, and even though it looks good when i leave the salon, after the first couple washes my hair doesn't look nearly as fresh. Kassandra spent about 5 hours on my hair and had to use multiple bowls of product, due to the thickness of my hair. She had so much patience and a great attitude! Definitely going back!!!! read more

Came in on a whim, with no appointment set up for an A-line cut. I showed Steven a picture and he replicated it to a T. I think the pricing is a little steep, though they do have a good deal for new clients. What would be great is if they could have a similar deal for returning clients! Customers should be rewarded for their loyalty. :) Overall, it was a good experience. It is rare to show a picture and get exactly what you asked for. Great job, Steven! read more

Went to this salon for the Brazilian blowout and didn't know what to expect. Worked with Gabe and he was very professional and attentive to all my hair needs. He did the blowout, a line cut, and color. He left me feeling like a million bucks!! Thank you so much for putting up with all my crazy requests and working your magic! Gabe rocks!! read more

I went to go get a cut for my bangs and hair and got exactly what I wanted!!! Loved how friendly everyone was, and how nice and clean the place was, I didn't remember the girls name who cut my hair but she did an amazing job!! Definitely coming here again!! read more

Came here for a hair cut last weekend. The girl at the front was very nice, offered me water or tea while she checked who was available. I was told the wait would be 15 minutes so I went to H&M. 15 minutes later I get a call from them saying they're ready for me. Sameha did my cut. I loved it. She cut the exact amount that I wanted & didn't get crazy with it like some stylist do. I will def come back to her for a haircut :) read more

Overpaid! Paid $50 for a "mini" highlight which was a joke, color was horrible had to get my hair done again the next day. Tossed me around between people .. Wouldn't recommend them. They even tried to charge to fix there mistakes ! read more

Tommy is a miracle worker! I have been traumatized in the past with bad haircuts that take months to grow out and Tommy took special care of me. I showed him the image of the haircut I had asked for 6 months ago and he immediately knew exactly what I wanted and how to achieve it. He spent over an hour on my hair (I didn't even know I had that much to work with!) He is so sweet, loves what he does and really goes the extra mile to make sure you get what you want. He even spent extra time blow drying it in a different style than the picture to show me how versatile it is! I am so pleased with my experience, which started with a lovely destress massage and ended with a haircut I adore! Thank you Tommy for your magical way with scissors! :) read more

I love this place! It's always clean and vibrant. Sameha is the owner and she's fantastic! She does amazing hair and all of her staff are sweet and talented. She makes sure the customer is always satisfied and has a great attitude. She's very personable and positive. I'm a client for life because I don't trust anyone's talents the way I trust hers ;) my hair is long and blonde and she gets the color, the highlights, the layers and treatments right EVERY TIME to make sure my hair is happy and healthy read more

I happen to be strolling through the mall one day & noticed this gem of a salon. I am so happy I found this place! First of all- my stylist Brittney is AMAZING! She literally worked her magic. I felt so comfortable with her and I was very iffy about going to a place where I didn't know any of the stylist but I sure did get lucky. Overall the color/ cut that I asked for was right on the dot and I am in love with my hair. I will most def. be back to this salon primarily due to the friendly staff & Brittney's hair skills & techniques. read more

I gave the shop 1 stars .. I honestly was suuuuper disappointed with my TWO visits .. The only reason I went back the second time was because they refuse to refund my $235 so I couldn't afford to go somewhere else to fix it.. So I let them have a second try to TRY and FIX my hair.. Unfortunately BOTH times I got nothing like what I asked for ... And a couple of the girls were trying to convince me that the color Felicia did (dirty blonde) was the same as the picture I asked for (almost platinum blonde) It definitely was not the same.. They kept saying it can't be done it has to be done a few more times which My hair was lighter when I came on than when I left!! Not only that though she gave me such a horrible cut... straight across not even asking me what shape I wanted my hair before cutting it ... I was sooooooo disappointed ... Not only that I was offended by Felicia .. First she was cool and all until she kept saying how "FAT" my ankles looked I had explained to her I was in a car accident the week before and showed her my bruising but it was only on one leg.. And she asked me once asking "if it hurt to walk on" and I said no yet she 2 more times commented that it was so "fat and swollen" by that time it's rude and very offense . Anyway they thought my hair looked "sooo good" "slay" "balayage Queen" definitely NOT so I wouldn't trust any of their judgments to go back.. Work was poorly done , naive, lack of common curiosity , and over priced overall. Not to mention she bleached my shirt and has the nerve to say "we aren't responsible for any damaged clothing" ... Some of these employees are giving this place a Bad business name ... The owner needs to fire & hire.. Get all the rudes out of there.. read more

My face feels and looks so amazing I didn't want to wear any make for a few days after. My friends commented on how bright and heathy my skin looked. I couldn't stop smiling. Serena also explained to me how to better care for my face after this visit and helped me pick some great products to maintain my glow. I highly recommend Serena Alvarez for your next facial needs!! She has made me a forever client!! I can't wait for my next scheduled visit with her! read more

This salon saved my hair. I was coloring my hair for years with box color from the grocery store. Turned my hair into straw and was falling out, not to mention the different varieties of color that was in my hair. It only took my stylist Darlene doing my hair once to get my hair back from straw to beautiful shiny and healthy again. I recommend the salon to all my friends and family. Not only do I love my stylist but all of the staff there are friendly and helpful. read more

The 2 stars are for how nice my hairstylist was, but I went last week to get a haircut and seal my split ends. She did let me know she had only been there a month but she has been doing hair for a long time but since I put my hair in a ponytail I have hairs that come out that are way shorter then the rest of my hair and and they are not baby hairs! Because it's not at the end and I've gotten a split end Brazilian sealer from another salon before and my hair was soft and not as frizzy, this time I feel like maybe she didn't leave it on long enough or do it correctly as for the shorter hairs I'm not sure what she did there but I really wish I would have went somewhere else. Felicia use to work here and do my hair but she no longer works here that's why I saw this new stylist. read more

This salon is amazing! Girls at front counter are so nice and welcoming :) I called early Saturday morning and got in by 11am that day. My stylist was Steven . He was amazing and made me feel so pretty :) he is amazing with color and cut !!!! Go to him!!! I will be going back :) read more

I had the pleasure of meeting Steven yesterday. What an awesome stylist he is! He listened carefully to what I wanted, and gave me suggestions as well. End result was very, very good.

Without any hesitation, I recommend Steven if you plan to have your hair done!!!! read more

I had an appointment to get a facial with my esthetician, so I get to my appointment and they tell me my person had a family emergency earlier that day, which typically is fine... we all have those days. But as you can understand I was a little teed because nobody called me to let me know or call to reschedule my appointment. So a few days later I get an email that tells me that I missed my appointment, and I was like I did not miss my appointment. So finally today I had a few minutes to call and speak with a manager to explain what had occurred, she was very nice she tried to offer me a discount on my next my next visit. She got my information and as she was making notes to my account for my next visit our phone call was disconnected. I waited a few minutes to see if she was going to call me back but nope, No call! So I guess my business does not matter. It sucks because my esthetician was really nice and I like her facials, now I have to go find a new place. read more

Came there this afternoon for a perm, and I was asked to wait for a girl who was working on another customer's hair. I changed my mind right away when I saw the way she did with the customer hair. It looked like she didn't know what she was doing.Guess what, the customer suddenly stood up and said that she didn't want to waste her time anymore. Then, the girl came up to me. I could not say that I did not want her to do my hair, so instead, I said I just want to get my hair colored. Although the color came out a little uneven, it was fine to me. I asked her to cut my bangs because the hair cut was going to be free. however, my sister had to pay $90 for my hair because I was returning customer ($70 cut and color for new customer). I agreed to pay because I was the one who asked her to cut my hair.My bangs came out uneven. I did not want her to touch my hair anymore, so I said it was fine and told her just leave it like that. the, she asked me that I wanted my hair to be straight or curly. I said just do it straight, and it took her about 20 minutes to make my hair seem to be straight (It takes me only 5-7 minutes to get my hair straight by myself every morning). After I gave her some tips, she told me that I still needed to pay $20 extra for "flat iron". Although I did not pay the unreasonable $20 after talking to the owner,I was so unhappy with this experience. It wasted my time, made my hair look worse. never comeback there again Another ridiculous thing is that they asked my sister to do a good review on yelp in order o get 20% off in the next service. Sorry, we do not want to lie because of 20% discount. read more

Very friendly salon! My hairdresser Sameha is very patient and does an awesome job on my always evolving hair. That plus loving the large line of Aveda products keeps me coming back! read more

Be careful people!!!, walked in went over exactly what I needed done, at that time the price was $120.00 and this included a complimentary haircut! Their posted "Special" . Appt set for next day with "a color specialist" returned next day, sat down and had the price started going up! Was told it would now be 180.00. Over the course of 15 minutes the price changed 4 times!!! At that point I was realizing that I should just get up and leave, if they can't even figure out their pricing,what type of color and cut was I gonna get!!! Then the supposed owner of the salon came over and tried to justify the pricing!!! She became very upset when I questioned their pricing....then asked me to leave!!! Unbelievable!!!!! I've never been treated so rudely and spoken down to as this woman spoke to me!!! Claiming she is the owner of the salon, she refused to give me her name..when I asked again for the owner's name she threatened to call security and had some guy follow me out! Don't walk from this place run!!!!!!! WOW!!! I will definitely be contacting Aveda headquarters!!!!! Read all their reviews on Yelp & Facebook before you even consider going to this place!!! read more

Not happy at all and closing out after the service was made uncomfortable. I called in a few days early to schedule my girl to get styled for an event. I spoke to Layla. I was quoted a starting price of $45 with the price going up depending on the time and complexity of the style. I said "Okay" and asked, "What's the most that it could go up to?" She said, "70 or 75". I set the appt. with them because their price was cheaper than the neighboring Carlton salon. -Their price was $74, according to Liz. After my girl got her hair curled at Mia, we went to close out. They gave me a price of $85. EIGHTY-FIVE dollars!!! After that, our happy experience became uncomfortable, my girl was embarrassed, and of course; the Layla girl that had given me the 'max price' had gone home already. It just felt like 'bait and switch' to me. "Oh! ...but we also did a blow out. We also did blah, blah, blah." It doesn't matter. I took my girl there because of the price quoted. In the end, we agreed on $75 as that was the most I would pay. read more
