    The Color Bar at Hair 491 in Montclair
    Nicole V.

    Alicia & Liz have been working on my fantasy colors all afternoon. Such a cool place to hang out and relax while someone else takes care of you. Always love my hair when I leave here.

    I have been going to hair491 for the last 2 years and wont go anywhere else! Nick is the BEST! Truly a master at his craft. I have ALOT OF GREY and have to get root color touch ups consistently every 4 - 6 weeks and Nick gets the color exactly right every single time. Sometimes I do highlights as well and he always gives me a flawless, natural look. When it was time to donate my long hair I was very nervous but knew that I was in good hands. Nick gave me a cute, fresh cut that I LOVE (a long, angled bob) and get so many compliments on. I don't think i'll change my style for quite a while. If you are looking to update your color or try a new cut, Nick is your guy.

    Before going to Hair 491 -very brassy and not natural.

    I'm not one to usually write reviews, but without a doubt I could not let this experience go unrecognized. Since the age of 5 I have gone to the same hair stylist, so it was natural for me to book her for my highlights the week of my wedding. Unfortunately she had to have surgery and I had to book with another stylist who I have been to multiple times. Obviously I had no concerns. This simple highlight turned into a nightmare! The foils bled, the toner I feel made things worse, she base broke my hair and my hair looked like I dyed it yellow. I was in absolute tears and feared my hair was stuck like this for my wedding. I called Hair 491 the next day and they got me in right away with Natalie, who was AMAZING!!! She calmed me down from my tears/ bridezilla-mode and reassured me she could help fix my hair disaster. Natalie was so knowledgeable about what had to be done to help take the brassiness out and help make my hair look natural. Obviously 2 days before my wedding I was still skeptical, but once I was done and Natalie blew dry my hair, I knew I had found a new stylist and salon. I felt like and looked like myself again, which is what ever bride wants for her wedding day. I am so thankful for Hair 491 for listening to my concerns and fitting me in the same day. Natalie- my hair looked amazing on my wedding day and I was receiving so many compliments. I will definitely be booking my next appointment with Natalie! * I posted some before and after pics... first three were before, last three were after the magic from Natalie :)

In…read moreaddition, I'm used to the bargain salons that offer a quick cut at an equally quick price...so stepping into Pure Energy was a real treat. And let me tell you, Pure Energy has really set the bar high. I never understood how getting services done at a salon could be self care, as opposed to just maintenance, but now I know. First of all, the salon is gorgeous. This location is new (the salon relocated about a year ago), and everything looks clean, fresh, and modern. The whole vibe of the place - from the black pleather chairs, floor length mirrors, to the sink area, and even the Aveda merchandise - all exude luxury. If you want to feel like you're getting the spa experience while getting hair services, this salon is definitely for you. The stylists and employees are also wonderful. You can tell that they truly care for their customers. While I was there, I could tell that some clients had established relationships with the stylists just by how they were chit-chatting - and for those that didn't have such a relationship, those clients were still treated with respect and warmth. (I was there for a color service, so I was sitting quite awhile, and able to observe the genuine interactions!) I also had the pleasure of meeting the owner, Jen. She truly believes in her business, and her passion can be seen even as she is walking around her salon. Mario and Amanda took great care of me while I was there. It's going to be tough to go back to bargain salons after experience the true wonders of a luxury salon such as Pure Energy. If you want to treat yourself, don't hesitate to come here. And, on top of it all, I am absolutely in love with my hair!

I do a basic all around color and I just need my grays covered. Something that most hair salons were not able to 100% achieve in the past. As I walked into the salon I was confused. There was no one to greet you and instead was a large screen. A stylist came and offered me a seat. She took a picture of my hair, asked me a couple questions and then she took me over to the large screen and showed me the color she was going to achieve. She proceeded to mix the ingredients according to the apps direction. She applied the color, told me how many minutes I had to stay with the solution and never came back. lol When the time was up, another person came and asked me to walk to the sink station so she can wash my hair. The shampoos smelled great. Then she showed me the self service for the blowouts. My initial stylist never came to check up on me, or even see if the color matched the initial consultation and the salon was definitely not busy. There was no one to check you out either. I used the iPad by myself and paid for the service. I am not sure if I would trust this place for highlights, but for an easy overall color application and grey coverage it's not a bad idea. I don't think I would pay full price for this service however. I would only go back with a discount.
