Never normally post reviews on yelp, but I was compelled to after a phenomenal experience I had at this salon. I had gotten my hair highlighted at a salon in Westfield, NJ, which was nothing short of my worst hair experience in all 6 years I've been highlighting my hair. They left me with yellow/orange chunky highlights that did not match my grown out strands but instead created a line of demarcation around my head. The stylist worked with me and calmed my nerves about the whole ordeal. She did a great job at getting my hair to a like able point as the problems were somewhat hard to counteract. Really recommend this salon just based on their customer service, but would further recommend for their actual work as it turned out great! read more

Alexis did a wonderful job with my haircut. I highly recommend this salon and Alexis's services!

Esperanza is great and runs a fantastic business. She approaches her customers with one major philosophy - give them the experience that she would expect if going to a salon. Simple, but how often people in the service industry forget about creating a positive client experience. I've been a customer of Esperanza's since she opened the doors about two years ago. Every visit is a pleasure. The staff is warm and inviting, from Carlos who manages the salon and greets guests, to the various assistants who give great hair washes, and through to Esperanza herself. Top notch, independent salon that I can't recommend highly enough. read more

After trying countless products to wear my hair curly, especially in hot, humid weather I reluctantly tried yet another product, Esperanza's Amazon Potion. I had little faith it would produce good results, but I'd try it. I had to be in Myrtle Beach, 95 degrees and incredibly humid, the perfect test. This product beat all my expectations. My curls are defined, controlled, and my hair is soft, not dry. I love this stuff! Thank you Esperanza! read more

Esperanza Salon & Spa - I'm so happy with my hair using Esperanza's Amazon Potion. It produced the defined curl and soft wave that I was looking for. - Skin Care Near Me - Summit, New Jersey

The proof of a good haircut is not how you look when you walk out, but how your hair looks the next day and also the next time you wash and dry it yourself.  I got my first post-Covid haircut two days ago at Esperanza, and I have to say not only did Erin give me a great haircut, it continues to look great.  Also, the salon felt super clean and safe.  I couldn't be happier. read more

Extremely overpriced. Took forever and highlights did not even look good after all that time.

I recently found them to use as a blowout bar. First time was wonderful. Peaceful. Thoroughly delightful. So I went again. A week later and had a different person. This one cost $10 more because if her "experience". It was terrible. Now, I'm tall. And I have curly hair. I do my best to shrink in the chair to help out the tech but there is only so much I can do. The only thing I kept hearing from this woman was how I was too tall and my hair was difficult to blow out. And that was between her scalding my scalp. Really?? Because if it was so easy, why would I pay someone else to do it?? Never going back. read more

Got a great haircut from Erin. She listened to my description and did it! She was careful and took the time to do a really good job. Everyone there (including Diane and Dee Dee) was friendly and made me feel welcome and relaxed. Clean salon with nice extra add-ons (i.e., coffee, almonds). I will definitely visit again ... read more

I have been going to Esperanza for years now. When I first came to her I had short very damaged hair. I now have long hair that is in great shape. She really knows her stuff about taking care of your hair. She is well worth the price to invest in great hair care. read more

I am always skeptical and nervous about trying new places (especially for a hair cut!). This was my first time going to Esperanza's salon. First off, everyone there is extremely friendly and welcoming, so I felt very comfortable there. In the beginning, I showed Esperanza a picture of the type of hair cut I wanted and explained to her some other details. I had no problem with the way my hair was washed or while it was being cut. However, I was the slightest disappointed because my hair was cut a little shorter than I wanted. Nonetheless I was satisfied with my visit and would have no problem returning! read more

Overall great salon!! From Carlos greeting you at the door, to the stylist Alysia who listens to what you want. I'm very impressed and very happy! Coming back here from now on! read more

I have been going to this salon for close to 2 years...my hair was dull..dry and suffering from a bad haircut! Esperanza carefully reviewed my situation and gave me expert advice and the best haircut ..now my hair is back to life and shiny with volume and health. Diana who manages the booking of appointments is sweet..and extremely polite who works hard to accommodate your appointment needs. read more

I have been going to Esperanza's salon for a number of years and really enjoy the experience. The stylists are all talented and the atmosphere very warm and welcoming. Esperanza, the owner, Is very knowledgeable and works with me to ensure that my hair continues looks good and is easy to manage as time marches on. Kuniko does a great job on my eyebrows and when I get the occasional facial, she's very careful to make sure that none of my allergies are triggered. I plan to be a customer for life read more

Had a very disappointing experience at Esperanza. For some reason when I left the salon, after a simple wash and blow dry, my hair appeared markedly thinner and flatter. I do not know what products were used and whether I had a bad reaction to their custom products, but my hair has still not recovered from this visit. read more

I have been utilizing the services of this salon for several years. Color, cuts, keratin, highlights, facials, brow care. They do all of these services well and treat their customers with care and comfort. There are many small touches that other salons do not understand nor provide. Esperanza and her staff are very well educated in paying attention to the details. Brava! read more

The place is very well decorated and maintained but thats about it. The staff is dismissive and unnattentive. I asked for a simple cut but the stylist decided to surprise me with what she thought would look good on me. It does not. I gave her very specific directions and yet she did not listen. Complete waste of time and money. For the money I paid I expected a lot more. Very unimpressed. read more

At first I really liked this salon, but I have not enjoyed my past few visits. Agree with Cathy's post that my last visit was a waste of money and my wishes were not listened to. I also find it strange that they have a revolving door of junior stylists. The owner, Esperanza, is more expensive than a junior, so I usually book them. I have never had the same jr. twice, they are always gone before I come back. I think it's super weird and speaks badly of the business owner. I don't think I'll be going back. read more

Went in blind for the very first time yesterday and all I can say is, "WHAT AN EXPERIENCE". It was the best 3 salon hours I ever had and I have been to a few different salons locally. My appointment was with Veronica who did my highlights and my haircut. She is a hidden national treasure! She was excellent. Carlos who is the manager was amazing as well. Catered to all my needs and treated me like Im royalty from start to finish...(and even though we went past the regular salon hours, I never felt rushed). SO to sum it up, Veronica exceeded expectations and the overall salon service & experience was outstanding. Well worth the price I paid (although going forward, I wish the price is a little bit less steep so I can afford to go more often). read more

Lucky for me I found Esperanza again! I had gone to her at another Salon and when I found out she'd left I was devestated - but now she has her own Salon. From color to cut I couldn't be happier!! read more

What a great find! I loved the salon's decor and catering service. But mostly, this was the best highlighting and haircut that I have ever received...and I am old, wise and experienced. I felt pampered and looking like a new me. I highly recommend seeing Esperanza and her staff. read more

I LOVE this salon. My color is always dead on. I love the glaze over the highlights - makes my gray fade in gradually. Which, given my very busy schedule means I can't get in as frequently as I'd like. My cut also grows in naturally. Overall this is a great salon. read more

I have been seeing Esperanza for cuts and color for 8 years and couldn't imagine going to anyone else. She is a master of color and knows how to find the perfect cut for your face. Esperanza Salon is such a lovely, peaceful place that I truly look forward to my appointments. I highly recommend Esperanza. read more

I just moved to Summit from San Diego after having my same hair stylist for the past 10 years, and prior to this I was also in cosmetology school myself, so I know how this all works very well. Now, I loved my hair cut, my color was just ok, and the biggest shocker was the price - after including the tip, I walked out with a $300 haircut, wow! Now, don't get me wrong, they have talented woman working here, and the average price in Summit can be high, however I just wasn't impressed enough to go back for that price, maybe next time they could pin point a better color choice, however I spent 4 hours in the salon getting what looked like really great highlights with a great technique, however after all this was done, they put a "glaze" over my hair which I was unfamiliar with back in California, this totally covered up everything and made my hair look like it was almost 1 solid color, and you could still see the difference in my roots from my prior color, so not to my standards, especially for the price. Now I will say, I gave the hair style months before posting this, so I forget the person's name who did my hair, but I believe she was the salon owner. One pro to the hair style was it faded and ended up blending in very nice, so timeline wise, you can get away with only getting color applied to your hair every 3-6 months depending. read more
