I absolutely love Emilia, however Emilia is not prepared to do anything other than to wash and blow dry BLACK hair. Emilia has over permed my hair, and then cut my hair in a way that lacked understanding and training. Unfortunately she does not acknowledge this deficit, and behaves as though the culture differences hispanic and black Americans does not exist. read more

Made an appointment a day before & i showed up on time. I made an appointment at 11am & she wasn't here. I waited for 25min & she never arrived. I tried calling her but no answer. Waisted my time read more

I seriously love finding great places on Yelp and this salon did not disappoint. I was able to make a Saturday afternoon appointment that same morning when I called in. I was greeted immediately when I walked in and the hair dresser that I was scheduled with took me back to wash my hair literally right after. She thoroughly washed my hair and washed it well. My haircut was drastic but was very quick! Emilia knew exactly what I wanted when I said it and suggested what would look better on me. Another employee dried my hair. Her and I had some funny conversations along with Fabiano. It made the time fly by and I could tell these were genuine conversations and not the ones that some hair dressers just try to start just to break the silence. I was super pleased with my drastic haircut and loved how it was done! Another customer who was also getting her hair cut by Emilia commented and said she really liked it also! I even got a compliment that my hair looked healthy and I didn't even have any product in it. I found a mutual interest in Marvel movies with Fabiano and thoroughly enjoyed our conversations. I will be back without a doubt and I'd recommend to anyone. read more

I have been a customer of Emilia's Salon for the last 9+ years. Emilia does a great job every time. I can't imagine going anywhere else. Everyone who works at the salon is friendly and welcoming. This past weekend, I needed to have my hair and makeup done for my son's wedding. We planned to have Emilia do my hair and Fabiano do my make up. They were opening up early on a Friday morning for me. Due to a family emergency, Fabiano had to step in for Emilia and do both my hair and makeup for the wedding. He did a FABULOUS job on both. My hair style exceeded my expectations. I received tons and tons of compliments. I highly recommend Emilia's Salon. read more

Emilia's Salon - Hair Salons Near Me - Woodbridge, New Jersey

Could have been better. I guess it was ok, but not like usual when I go there, been going for years. Fabbiano Cruz usually cuts and blows out my hair, but he is no longer there. I have really curly, kinky hair and he is the only one that gets it right! When he does my blow out, it lasts for 4 days, no friz, smells fresh and feels silky. This time, my hair smelled burnt, and got frizzy same day. Not what I'm used to. Won't be going back there! Look him up on instagram! Curly hair magician, he does it all flawlessly! He not only does my hair, but my 28 year old daughter, and my 16 and 17 year old sons as well. He never disappoints, thank God I know where his new salon is. Look him up on instagram if you are looking for a 5 star experience! read more

My 10 year old daughter wanted her hair done. I was looking around the area for hair salons. And I read the reviews about Emilia's and Fabbiano I said let me give it a try. Well we where not Disappointment her hair came out exactly how she wanted to. Thank you Fabbiano. read more

I don't know how I didn't find this wonderful place before. It's very close to my home and, now that I know it exists, I will be a return customer. Fabbiano was the stylist who did my hair. I showed him some references and as he was cutting and styling my hair, he was super helpful and shared with me what he was how it would better fit me face shape etc...than my current cut did. I am so thankful that he saved the shapeless near-bowl cut I had on my head and turned it in a very sleek and clean pixie cut. We had great conversation during my time there and, not to mention that this salon has affordable prices! I wasn't stuck paying way too much for a simple cut. Their service is wonderful and so are their prices. This salon is a dream come true. read more

Today was my first time at Emilia's and let me just say, I loved how well they did my hair! It's been a while since I've had someone do my hair so beautifully. I must have passed by this salon a hundred times and never realized it. My hair was shampoo-ed so well (my scalp felt great, and I nearly fell asleep). I got a fantastic blow out by the owner, who also snipped just a few ends and made my hair frame my face perfectly. This is definitely my new go to salon. Thank you!! read more

So glad they have re-opened and was not apprehensive about going in. They take your temp at the door and there is hand sanitizer readily available. They practice social distancing and I'm glad Fabiano was there to work his magic. Thank you heroes for coming back to work and making all of us look great!! Definitely a long term customer here. read more

This place does amazing work, and they're so friendly there. Felt very comfortable and their prices are great!!!!!

So glad that Emilias has re-opened!!. Was there the other day and got my hair cut and the red color in the front that I like. I have to say that I felt safe going in, they practice social distancing as well as taking your temp before you go inside. Everyone wears a mask and there is hand sanitizer readily available. Fabbiano is my go to guy and worked his magic. Thank you heroes for working during this time and glad to see you back in action again. read more

Had a haircut. The place was clean. Owner does not care about chatting, which works for me, but its not a great way of making customers feel at ease the first time. It felt like the owner didn't care enough if you come back or not. She was very fast, doesn't waste time. The haircut was ok. Blow drying and straightening to style was rough on my head and neck.She kinda made me feel like Im not welcome there. Price is somehow good, although it changes without prior notice, just like that. Next day, i found a couple of long strands of hair underneath(nape) and cut it myself and the hair cut was not symmetrical and you can see abrupt cuts all around. No mirror to show you how your back looks. Didn't take the time to make sure the cut is even,Symmetrical and that there's no uncut long hair dangling. It seems she's burnt out cutting hair, it was just a job for her not an art. She did not seem to take pride in her work. read more

I've been coming to this salon for around 5 years. Emilia, the owner, is always there. She is very professional and a wonderful woman entrepreneur. Her long time employee, Fabiano is great with the customers. Everyone loves him. He's funny and entertaining. Always has a smile on his face. The service is very good. They know how to deal with all hair types. They handle men and women. From haircuts to hair dyes and everything in between. They did a great job with my bridal party last year as well. Everyone looked beautiful and I was pleased with my hair as well! I highly recommend them read more

Love Emilias Salon I am always very happy with the cut, the blow out and I recently started highlighting my hair and covering up greys. My stylist Fabiano is the best! Makes me feel comfortable and is a great hair stylist. On top of that they are so reasonable! I highly recommend Fabiano and the salon in general. read more

I was able to walk in without an appointment, Amelia cut my hair and did a great job after that I sent my daughter and she also likes it

Emilia and her staff are both professional and friendly. Very warm environment. If Emilia is not available. You have her sister and Fabian who are both amazing! The prices are great! I have never been disappointed. I have never had to wait more than 10 minutes (even that is rare). I highly recommend this salon. Fabian is also an amazing makeup artist. Emilia is an amazing hair color artist! I have been coming to this salon for 4 years. read more

Love this place! Took my senior friend ( with short hair ) here for a layered haircut. The appointment was last minute, but they were nice enough to accommodate us. Fabbiano is wonderful! He's very professional, friendly, and gave her a great cut ( and a senior discount ). I made an appointment for me too ( for the following week ). I have longer, really curly hair, and it's hard to find a stylist that knows how to layer it right. Fabbiano knew exactly what to do and gave me a great cut! The staff is really nice and the girl that washed my hair, also gives an amazing scalp message ( so relaxing ). Free street parking is on Main Street, and I didn't have a problem either visit. The service is terrific and the prices can't be beat. Will definitely be back. Highly recommended! read more

Based on four experiences C-. Cuts are are crooked, affordable. Appt are late. Color is horrible. Cheap and uneducated.. For haircuts, pay careful attention to the cut and style of your stylists cut and style. Make sure you like their styles because those are the only cuts they know how to do. based off one experience, C- More of the hair was cut off than I specified, and to cover up the stylist kept mentioning how long the hair is, cause the stylist cut too much. Omg based upon one experience, D- Color , the hair did not turn out the same shade of color I paid for. The hair actually looks like a few different shades of that color. You pay someone $60 and hear every excuse about why they messed up on color. You are better off buying two boxes and doing your own color at home. No education. Omg. Be catious !!!!! based off two experiences , B- noticed split ends and dead ends still in the hair after paying Great atmosphere, A+ Wonderful young personality They ask you the preference here, A+ Shampoo detail Very presentable, A+ The cleanliness of her station Looks great in the salon, but to maintain these styles and cuts are expired in 24 hours. A+ styling but the cut and color needs work. Buy more seats. If your appointment is at 11:40am, they may not take you until 1pm ! No respect for your time. This is an affordable service so keep that in mind. Be careful on anything complicated because it could go wrong, specially in drying. The woman with blonde hair did a blow-dry which wore off in 2 hours. Upon entering, the environment is very calm and relaxing. __ more for seniors, low prices, poor service, crooked haircuts, 2 stylists who dont know to color hair. Very scary. I tried to save money, then realized it is not worth it at all. read more

I went there because the prices are cheaper than most salons that I have been to... However, the owner is a little judgmental when it comes to her customers. I have 3 kids and I work 3 jobs and I barely have time to do anything to my hair. I wash my hair 1-2 times a week and usually put it in a pony tail or bun because it's all that my time allows. She kept asking me why my hair was so fried, asking me if I ever washed it , if I ever brush my hair.. It made me feel uncomfortable and embarrassing because other people were there. She began to get frustrated with my hair and started to work faster in order to get rid of me quickly. I could see it in her face and her hard breathing that she was annoyed by my tough hair... She also burnt my hair when coloring it due to her trying to speed up the process... I guess you pay less for a reason... I started going elsewhere. read more

I have been coming to this salon for almost 2 years. I was transitioning my hair from years of perming my hair. My sister in law recommended Emilia's Salon. The moment I walked in I felt totally comfortable and at ease. Emilia does my hair and it is the healthiest it has been my whole life. I also have lighten my hair and wear highlights. I have received many compliments and I am so thankful I was recommended this salon. It is the best. Her staff is warm, funny, and talented also. My mother hair has been done by Fabiano and Emilia's sister. Our hair always looks great and we highly recommend this salon to both men and women of all hair types. You will not be disappointed. I highly recommend them. Thanks. read more

I was referred to the salon by my cousin. I didn't have a haircut in almost a year. Fabbiano took the time to listen to my concerns with my hair and gave me a great cut and blowout! I found myself a new hairdresser. Great place and reasonable prices too read more
