I was quite shocked to see that Flies and Honey was vacant when I drove by last week. I had just had an appointment the week before and the owner never mentioned that she was closing the end of the month. Lisa made appointments for me for the next two months for a touch up and an appointment for her client before me without a word that the salon would be closed! It is bad enough that she was late many times, changed times or days of appointments or just didn't show for a month. She is obviously unprofessional and does not know how to run a business or treat her clients. I sincerely hope she never opens another salon!! read more

I've been searching for a new salon, and went for the first time and loved it. They found out what I liked, wanted, and really listened. I have thinner hair and I feel like I am normally in and out of a salon in 30 minutes but get charged $100 plus, which was not the case here. She really took her time with me, it was the longest, best blow out I've ever had, and she curled my hair a bit too. She also gave me great practical advice. When I told her I wanted to grow my hair out and asked how often she felt I should come back for a cut, she didn't give me the typical 4-6 weeks answer, and told me a few months, long enough for new growth to happen but not too long that you have to cut off more than you grow because of damage. Normally when I get out a blow out after a cut, its super flat and I can't wait to get home and wash it to see what my hair cut really looks like, this is the only blow out that I've delayed washing my hair as long as possible because of how much I love it. Also, the price was very reasonable. So happy I found Flies & Honey! read more

Alli did an amazing job with my hair. The experience is so personal and I love so many things about how Alli runs the salon. The hair recycling program is amazing and the decor is fresh and contemporary. It's a cool young vibe that feels very inclusive. Gender neutral pricing is the future and this salon is definitely paving the ways for others. read more

I love this salon. The team is friendly and fun, the music and atmosphere are great....and my hair is fabulous after a visit. I highly recommend! read more

I'm on the road for 80% of my life. It's rare but to find someone who gets your hair on the first try is a true professional. Thank you Alli for one of my all time best haircuts... and I've been to salons around the world. You and your salon are as good as it gets. read more

I came in for ombre balayage highlights. I was seen right away, and I immediately liked Alli, the hairdresser, and her assistant (her name escapes me unfortunately). Alli took the time to talk about what I had in mind, and by the end of the discussion, I felt she really knew what I wanted. The pricing was very reasonable, and the end result was exactly what I hoped for. I wanted the dye job to be very natural-looking, essentially just bringing out more dimension in my medium brown hair. My hair still feels soft surprisingly since I thought it would feel drier due to the process but it didn't. I was very nervous since I haven't dyed my hair in 5 years. I felt that she did a fantastic, thorough job in the end. You might have to wait a couple of weeks for her to squeeze you in because it seemed like she had a busy schedule. I highly recommend her and I am planning to come again! read more

Went to get a balayage last year with Olga and she did such a great job - it took her 3 hours because I had long hair. I showed her what I wanted and she delivered. She's also very nice, all the ladies that work there are really nice. Book maybe weeks ahead because they can get busy. read more

Flies & Honey Hair Studio - Balayage by Olga - Hair Salons Near Me - Madison, New Jersey

I have difficult, bulky short hair and Rebecca is masterful with a razor. She is exemplary! I wish I could rate Flies & Honey with more than 5 stars! Here's 5 more for a perfect 10... read more

Beautiful salon! We came here before my wedding to get hair/make-up done (for me, my 2 bridesmaids, mom & mom-in-law, and 4 year old flower girl). Everyone walked out looking beautiful!! The atmosphere was chill and fun, and definitely eased wedding-day jitters for me! The only reason I am not giving 5 stars is because the organization (confirming appointments a few times when my info was lost, and then when my mom went to pay it took quite a while). This comes with a new business though, and definitely doesn't reflect on the amazing work that these ladies do! Thank you Alli, Angela, and team! read more

I've been looking for somewhere that has fair prices and a good atmosphere to try out balayage for the first time- and I'll definitely be going back! When expecting to sit for a couple hours during chemical processes I look for somewhere with good people, comfortable setting and nice atmosphere. This salon had all of that! As soon as I checked in, I was offered a drink and then we got settled into a nice conversation about exactly what I wanted out of my appointment. I The stylist I had my appointment with was Julia, a junior stylist, and she was very thorough to make sure we were on the same page. She made sure I was comfortable during the entire 4 hour visit. I was not apprehensive to go with a junior stylist after reading reviews about the salon, and felt even better after our conversation when I sat down in her chair. All of the staff was very friendly and makes you feel at home. I was even able to nurse my son during the process without slowing anything down! The color came out awesome and I am so glad I went with flies + honey! I will definitely be going back to Julia. Overall, the salon is clean and a nice modern space. Although it is small- it is setup in a way that works perfectly and doesn't feel right at all! The staff is extremely friendly and after just one visit I felt like I'd been going there for awhile. They have great music playing and the vibe is upbeat! It definitely makes the time pass quickly. I enjoyed my service at flies + honey today so much, I think I've finally decided to quit hopping from salon to salon and settle down! :) read more

Julia cut and styled my hair for a wedding this past weekend. My curls came out so beautiful and they held all night. Thank you, Julia! I couldn't have been happier! read more

I thoroughly enjoyed this boutiquey hair salon. I had an amazing experience from the moment I entered. I absolutely love the decor. Its very cute and and very CLEAN. The employees are very sweet and attentive. They offered beverages as soon as I came in (not many places do that) which I thought was a nice touch. My stylist Ledia was amazing. Ive been going to Dieci for years prior to Flies and Honey and I honestly can say that I notice a huge difference. Flies and Honey doesn't discriminate against age whereas Dieci does. I am happy to say that I found a salon where I can be myself and am treated amazing. I will be coming back for more hair treatment. If you are looking for a hair salon, I highly recommend trying this place out first. Thank you for your time. read more

A good cut but not the cut I wanted -- this happened twice.

I was very pleased with my visit to Flies and Honey Salon. They were welcoming upon arrival and I was seen very quickly. I like the style, decor, and vibe of the place. I also appreciate that it had a smaller boutique feel. The stylist gave me a great cut and I'll definitely be back. read more

I have been going to Alli for the past five years, and she is the MOST talented stylist I've been fortunate enough to meet! Flies & Honey is chic and welcoming, and Alli is a joy to chat with while she works. She is someone you can trust completely with your hair - I get complimented on the balayage highlights she does for months after my appointment. I don't live in New Jersey anymore, but make sure to book my appointment with her every time I come back to visit. Couldn't recommend more highly! read more

Just wanted to take a moment to write about Alli. I'm very picky with my hair and who I trust with cutting/highlighting. I gave this studio a shot when it first opened, and I've been going to Alli ever since. She's absolutely amazing, and listens to my specific requests. She adds in her thoughts and her personal touch, but always checks with me first to make sure I'm comfortable. 10/10!! read more

Came in today to get my hair done by Jenn. The hair studio was very inviting and I loved the layout of the place. I had previously done balayage on my hair and wanted to go lighter today. Jenn did a great job at brightening me up and giving me exactly what I asked for. I would definitely recommend coming here. read more

I have been going to Lydia for a good chunk of time, probably going on 9-10 months now, for one huge cut, a couple trims, and the most recent adventure where she took me from very dark brown to almost platinum blonde!! On top of my most favorite hair cut I've ever gotten, she is an absolute color miracle worker. My hair not only looks amazing and gives me the self confidence I never thought I could have, but it feels great too! Somehow she managed to keep it really healthy while doing a whole lot of work to it. I don't really have the proper words for how impressed I am and how happy I am with her work. Not to mention how accommodating she and owner Ally were for my visit--an appointment that was estimated to take about 5 hours turned into a whopping 9 hour journey, going well past closing time on a Sunday, but the two of them were as sweet and cheerful as could be! Again, words cannot express how much I love how Lydia has transformed my appearance over this past almost-year. I could not recommend this place enough!!! read more

I came to Flies and Honey a few weeks ago for a simple blowout prior to an evening event. They called me about an hour prior to my appointment to apologize that they were having issues with the hot water and if I wouldn't mind washing my hair before coming. I will admit, I was instantly a little bit skeptical, but my friend recommended the salon to me. I had a wonderful experience and enjoyed getting to know Jenn while she did my hair. I've booked an appointment for a cut before graduation next week and am looking forward to it. All of the women working there were extremely friendly and helpful, which is an important aspect of the overall experience. read more

this was my first experience at a hair salon in NJ (just moved here from out of town) and I was impressed by Flies & Honey. They are a fun, dynamic team, and I was thrilled when I walked in and they offered a glass of wine and some snacks (fun for a mom's Thursday night out!) I was very happy with Jenn and the fact that she asked a lot of questions & listened to me before beginning on my cut & color. She did a great job in listening, and she was lovely to chat with while I was sitting there for several hours. The salon itself has a trendy but relaxed atmosphere, and the pricing was reasonable. I've already booked my follow-up appointment to keep my color fresh! read more

I went here because the reviews were so good and Olga really delivered. I brought in a picture of what I wanted and she nailed it. It's been a few weeks and I couldn't be happier with this haircut. I also appreciate that she made a point to let me know that she can adjust anything I'm unhappy. But there's nothing to fix! read more

I stumbled across this salon while visiting NJ, and could not believe my luck! This place is so darn cute. The wood decor adds warmth to the otherwise posh white interior, and the entire space is very tastefully furnished. Alli was so warm and attentive, and made me feel like a billion bucks. If you are in the Madison area, stop by and check this place out! read more

I wanted to like this salon, but my experience was sub par. First, I had to book my appointment so far in advance it was quite hilarious. Then, when I got there 5 min early I was rudely greeted and told to wait someone would be right with me. Well, just after a few minutes no one came to ask me if I wanted anything or to say they are running behind. I just patiently waited. FOURTY FIVE min later (yup, 45 min later) I was then told by the girl working at check in that they were now ready for me. I sat down in the chair and the owner who was cutting my hair said sorry be right back and then proceeded to help another client for another 10 min. She was also incredibly rude to me and NEVER apologized about the horrendously long wait or anything. She had a really unfriendly demeanor and acted like she was being bothered by me being a client or something. The cut was fine but the overall customer experience was really not worth the time or the money. All the owner had to do was to say they we so sorry they were running behind. Go elsewhere! read more
