Sadly, Roots isn't what it used to be. My stylist Michelle has moved to a new salon. Her new…read morelocation is a bit too pricey for me so I gave Roots another try. I had my hair done by two other stylists. I'm really picky about my hair and I just felt as though they couldn't get it quite right. Especially my bangs... they are "whispy"... not full! I always seem to have a difficult time conveying what that means. I've noticed that the owner of the salon has gotten much friendlier since my first review, and the salon continues to carry good products and make excellent lattes! I think this salon has a lot of potential, they just need to recruit new talent.

Then the stylist told me she would put curls in to set it (which was an extra price that I was not informed of).

She is an absolute professional and takes care of you 100%. Her work ethic was totally amazing and I had a great time too. I have been struggling with hair stylists that are not passionate with their art for many, many years. This lady are amazing. I became part of their artwork when she moved to New Jersey. I was devastated. I live all the way in Maryland. I drive miles and miles to come get my hair done in Jersey. I miss her being close because she's sooo worth it. She even does see in frontals, makes wigs and she does children's hair cause she does my daughters hair to. I love Rose!!!! Thank you Rose!!!

My friend booked hair appointments at Salon Concrete for her wedding day. Since the salon was…read morespacious and was well staffed, they were able to handle our whole party and keep the salon open for regular business. I'm not sure if this was provided by the salon or the bride, but there was a table in the center of the salon which had bagels, muffins, juice, mimosas and water for us to enjoy while waiting. Since we couldn't all have appointments at once, it was nice to be able to have a little nosh. I believe there were two or three stylists working with our group. Cassie did my hair and did a great job. I knew I wanted some sort of flowy curls with half of my hair out of my face, but I left the rest up to Cassie's expertise. Cassie and a few other stylists strategized and then she got to work. It took a while to curl my hair but my hair is very thick and wavy so that's expected. She meticulously went through each section. I was very happy with the end result. I only wish a few more pins and spray had been used. I had to run back to the salon to pick up a friend a little after my appointment and another stylist was able to touch me up which helped the style last through most of the night. The whole party, especially the bride, looked gorgeous so I would certainly recommend Salon Concrete for your wedding or formal hair needs.

On August 5, I got my hair cut my Kristen and colored by Nina (who are both wonderful people). I…read morewas at first really happy with the results: A few days later, after leaving my hair straight and unstyled, I noticed that the face framing of my long bob was very much one sided. The left side of my hair was actually longer in the front than it was in the back, while the right side was significantly shorter in the front than in the back as it's supposed to be with face-framing. Backstory: I have been in Boston for a summer internship but came home to NJ for one weekend and decided to get my hair done here since my mom raves about Salon Concrete all the time. I noticed the unevenness when I got back to Boston and figured they wouldn't mind fixing it up a little for me when I got back...WRONG! I just called Salon Concrete, granted it's been a while since I figured it didn't matter when I call them because I won't be back until the end of August, to let them know about my hair and that I'd like to come back to get it fixed. The receptionist that I spoke to this time around was incredibly unpleasant and unfortunately I didn't get her name. I was informed that when I returned home from Boston they would not fix my hair but I could pay for another haircut since the grace period has ended. I understand that when I return from Boston a few weeks will have passed since my haircut, but the mistake will still be there! It would really only take them 5 minutes to fix it! I'm VERY disappointed with their customer service after my appointment. I will not be returning to pay another $70 for a quick fix that should not cost me anything because it should not have happened in the first place, I of course understand that people make mistakes and that is okay with me. I do not understand why Salon Concrete thinks it's okay to let there mistakes go unfixed. Aside from the fact that Salon Concrete will not fix their mistake, Kristen and Nina were both great. Nina did an awesome job with my color and aside from the one mistake, I'm loving my cut from Kristen. I simply cannot overlook the rude receptionist and the terrible customer service that followed my appointment.

If you're looking for a talented and passionate hairdresser who will transform your hair while making you feel amazing, Gianna is the one. Highly Recommend her and the whole team at industry salon.

This place is far from "lux" or "elite." Even booking -- or…read moretrying to keep -- an appointment here tells you everything you need to know. We booked our appointment a couple of months ago and reconfirmed by text, yet when we arrived, the stylists had clearly given our slot to a higher-priced service. One stylist even told us to "have a seat," despite the two of them openly discussing in front of us that the other client's service would take a long time -- meaning they knew our appointment was bumped before we even walked in. There is no one to answer the phone, and replies come through messy, unorganized texts. After making eye contact with the stylist, they told us to "come back in an hour," as if our time didn't matter. There also seems to be zero management. We walked out -- and as expected, no one ever followed up. At this point, we'd rather just go to the salon across the street with far better reviews and a more professional reputation.

The location is convenient being located right on main. There's both street parking and a small parking lot directly next door. Street parking was free but had a two hour limit. The salon is small, only three stations but the overall vibe was great! All the ladies here seem experienced, and everyone I saw walking out looked great. Prices were fair, haircut $55.
