This salon went above my expectations. This is a salon that does it all. Just had to bring the girls and they took care of the rest. Friendly environment. Kid friendly. read more

See all

I have been getting weave by the same person for a number of years but just moved to the area and Candi was recommended on Facebook. Candi did a phenomenal job, better than I ever expected. I am extremely satisfied with the outcome and will be coming back to Candi for all my weave needs. read more

The best salon I have ever been to. The owner is very professional and truly cares about catering to her clients needs.

The business owner was extremely professional kind and very prompt. My hair looks fabulous.

I had locs for over 10 years and wanted a change after having several dreams over the years that my hair was out of the locs. Determined to keep some length, i decided to comb them out with a technique called loc take down. Now desperate to look half decent, I found Mia Bella's after lots of research. What I wanted was a professional salon staff with patience, warmth and knowledge about natural hair. I'd read reviews of some salon staffers that don't even acknowledge you walked in the room and never bother to get to know you or what you need. At Mia's, I was greeted at the door, offered snacks, asked my name and what brought me there. They also asked about things they offered which I may want to consider. these questions came from the young lady accessing my hair and prepping it for wash. She was getting my story as if to create a client profile for when i started to work with the stylist (and owner). Pretty cool. I actually felt like a celebrity with all the attention and focus on what works for me. Loved my first style post locs!! read more

Super happy with the services I received from Jenna today. She was super patient, sweet, and willing to deal with all of my hair. I will def be returning soon and highly suggest you guys check her out. My hair feels super soft and happy read more

Mia Bella Salon - This is the best my hair has looked in ages! Candi owner/operator is a fabulous stylist. She is truly gifted. I'm hooked! Love you Candi - Hair Salons Near Me - West Orange, New Jersey

VERY DISAPPOINTED! I normally don't do this but the public needs to know about this so called "Celebrity Stylist." My hair was natural for 3 years and I went to this salon for a texturizer to loosen my coiled curls. Candi, the so called "Celebrity Stylist" put a super relaxer in my hair and ruined it in 20 minutes. There is not one curl in my hair! It is completely straight & thin! She clearly does not know how to do a texturizer & should have said that, now my hair is ruined!! My scalp has scabs and my hair is flat! it has absolutely no volume!! I'm so upset about this! Anyone with natural hair that enjoys having it curly will beware & not let this "Stylist" touch your hair. Biggest mistake of my life! I will either have to cut my hair off or grow it out & cut off the relaxer as it grows. She visibly saw how upset I was & told me, "Give it three weeks the curls will come back." ?? I think I've had a relaxer in my hair before & I KNOW the curls ain't coming back. You're the licensed stylist, shouldn't you know this? She also has a bad attitude! Treats her staff like she owns them and belittles them in front of customers. Very uncomfortable place to be. Which is why I will never go there again! I can't imagine which celebrity she styled if she doesn't know the difference between a texturizer & a relaxer!! Good job Candi! You did an excellent job of doing exactly what I didn't want you to do. I could've ruined my hair myself with a $10 kit at home! Sincerely, Very disappointed! read more

I love Candi, the head stylist at MIA BELLA. I have been coming to Candi since 2007 and I have never been disappointed. She does amazing color if you are looking for a new color or highlights!!! If you want something new, fresh and modern head to Mia Bella. Feel free to come in and get a consultation. I have been natural since Feb 2011, and Candi has styled my hair throughout my transition and she still does my hair. read more

I came in the other day and got a texturizer and trim. Wanda was my stylist and I absolutely loved her! She seemed to be very knowledgeable about hair and the products that were being used. She explained every step and product to me which really put me at ease coming to a new salon. I enjoy being able to support black owned businesses but some of my experiences in the past have not been so great (mostly due to bad attitudes and poor customer service). The stylists here were very professional, knowledgeable, and kind. My hair came out beautiful and I look forward to a healthy hair journey with this salon. read more

What a pleasant surprise! I was literally standing outside another salon that was running late AGAIN!!, when I hopped on Yelp and found MIA BELLA. I called and they were absolutely lovely over the phone; told me I could come right in. Wanda was my stylist and she was great. She was warm and friendly...nurturing even! She is very knowledgeable about haircare, products and I SOOO appreciated her transparency and open communication about the products she was using on me and why. I will be seeing them again. read more

This was my first time coming here and I really liked this place. For one, parking was easy, which is super important to me. Both of the stylists there were very friendly. Did good work on my hair. Husband and mother both liked it any my mother in particular often goes out of the way to mention that she doesn't like my hairstyles! The other two ladies who were finished while I was there also left with very nice hairstyles. Wait was minimal, even though I was there on a Saturday. They had several clients but the two of them worked really well together to minimize the amount of time anyone was sitting around waiting; it was great. Prices were reasonable. Also, there were 4 really cute babies/kids in there. So that was a plus :) read more

Great great experience - one of the best that I've had in a hair salon. I don't usually write reviews but this experience warranted it. If you are looking for a partnership with a hair stylist to make sure you receive the best care for your hair that you want, you have to go and visit this salon. Usually stylists talk at you in salons but here they genuinely care that you're involved and happy with your hair care journey. Candi and Jenna are both great at what they do and it shows, from their attitudes to their work. And they make you feel like you're part of the family from your very first visit. read more

Candi the owner of MIA BELLA is such a sweetheart! I've been going to her for the past 6 months and everyone at the salon always makes me feel welcomed and have been very professional. Candi was recommended to me by one of my coworkers whose mom and sister are also clients of hers. I've had the opportunity to get to know her on both a professional and personal level. A few things that really impressed me about Candi are: - She is punctual and consistent with her expertise as a stylist - She's inspiring because she is a focused and driven young lady and to become a business owner at her age and to do it by herself says a lot about her. - The work that I see her do for the community is selfless, she definitely gives back. Since going to the salon I have seen a huge transition in the health of my hair. I've transitioned to natural about 2 years ago. I moved to NJ from NYC and finding a knowledgeable and dependable stylist in NJ hasn't been easy which is why finding Candi was such a pleasure. I receive lots of compliments after leaving the salon and will continue to go to Candi and recommend her to friends and family. I'm a very pleased and happy customer!!! I know she will receive many more blessings and have continued success!! read more

I absolutely love this salon. It was my first time and I was a little nervous because I haven't had the best experience with salons in the past. Candi (owner) made me feel so comfortable as soon as I came in. I was greeting like she knew me. I love me hair. She took the time to explain everything to me and didn't do anything unless I was comfortable. I am 100% coming back to her for everything. This place is by far the best salon in the area. And the prices are very reasonable. She even gave me 20% off my first visit. This place is amazing. Walk in and see for yourself. Thank you so much candi!!! You made me feel beautiful again!!!!! read more

Owner/Head Stylist Candi is phenomenal! She has been stylist my hair for almost 5 years now and I wouldn't go anywhere else. Her weaves and extensions are amazing and natural looking. She takes her time with your hair and even explains what each product does to your hair. She's very flexible with appointments as far as last minute or walk-in and if you on a Saturday you don't spend your whole weekend there like some salons. read more

This salon (Mia Bella) is hands down a hair care salon. They focus on hair care from the time you walk into the salon until the time you leave. Candi the owner is very customer service savy. The staff are all customer service savy, they take your coat when you walk in, they serve beverages, and they are just amazing. You will never leave this salon feeling uncomfortable. You leave out looking and feeling really good about yourself. Please go visit this place, i love how they do my hair and make me feel as a valued customer. read more

There is nothing like a salon that makes you feel welcome immediately. This place and the ladies are great!!

overpriced! $95.00 for a blowout and my hair is not straight! the stylist did not listen to my request at all! extremely disappointed and unsatisfied! not to mention the wait! i was there for over 4 hours for a blowout! read more

I had been out the Salon for five minutesand three people complimented me on my hair but that is my usual after I spend time at Mia Bella. Candi( the owner) and her team are professional and encourage their customers to ask questions and communicate their needs. She has been my Stylist from 2005 and I have never been disappointed. The moment you walk in the door there is a greeting, a smile and a what can we do for you today? The best thing besides my hair being down to my shoulders( Never this long) is that I do not have to sit there ALL DAY to get it done. The Mia Bella team understands sthat their customers have lives to get back to and will make sure that you are not sitting around all day. If you want to keep your hair healthy( whether your hair is natural/relaxed),get a great cut, color or if your thing is weaves... I highly reccomend Mia Bella. Look I am in my 50's and men ( some of them young) have smiled at me more when I walk out of the Salon. That alone keeps me coming back :-). CHECK IT OUT. read more

Love love love this place...Ms. Candi is awesome. Professional, Black stylist. Great colorist, and with everything else. she doesn't do your hair, she takes care of it. read more

Mia Bella salon is sooo nice. They treated me with the up most respect there. And Candi the owner is down to earth and knows her stuff, not to mention she is also does hair for some well known celebrities and that list is growing. Thanks to everyone at Mia Bella, you really know how to pamper a lady;) read more

Spent good money some quality hair that I wanted sewn in and a friend recommended Mia Bella. Nice service and atmosphere, there was still a little finishing touches of renovation being done when I went( in 2011) but it didn't take away from my experience. All in all good service and I left very happy with my hair. read more

The stylist are professional, courteous and accommodating. I felt secure and confident in their care.

I came in here over the summer and I was so disappointed. I was asked to come back an hour later than my scheduled appointment, which was fine with me considering that I lived close by. I came back and waited for another 30-45 minutes only to be given to another stylist when I had made an appointment with Candi. I was okay with this as I still thought my hair would come out nice considering that it is very easy to do. During my wash I was asked if I wanted a deep condition and I said no. The stylist splashed a bit of conditioner near my roots and then immediately rinsed my hair. She then proceeded to comment on how dry my hair was, although what she had done could not even be considered basic conditioning. When I do my own hair it comes out GLOSSY! This is without any extras, only heat protectant. My hair was dry and stiff after getting it done here. I'm just so sad that I wasted $70 on something I could've done 10x better at home. read more

Where do i begin? Please do not let these people touch your hair if you are natural! These people have no training on natural hair and they will try to tell you that they do. The "senior stylist" and the owner looked at me as if i had two heads when i said i want to keep my natural hair curly as God made me! Then the " senior stylist " tried to pretend that he knew what he was doing in my hair and i had to stop him and tell him " nevermind, let's try something different. " Long story short, I left the salon after 4 hours with a shower cap, my hair not done and " product " dripping down my neck! I will never return to this place! Natural girls please run away from this place! Don't let them tell you a lie like they did to me!! #naturalhaters read more

What a wonderful experience today with Candi and her sweet staff! I had a silk press done, and my hair looks and feel amazing. They are professional, knowledgeable, and Fun! And that's just the beginning. I look forward to my next appointment. BTW, I was so excited about the finish look, I forgot my coat in 37 degree weather!!! read more

I have been going to Candi for some time and my hair has never been healthier. I transitioned to natural hair while going to her and not only did it remain healthy it has also grown quite considerably. I've received everything from relaxers and texturizing treatments to keratin and color. She focuses on hair health and now services many of my family and friends as a result of them seeing my hair. Whether you have relaxed or natural hair she will give you options to keep your hair manageable, healthy, and on trend. read more

What can I say? They can do some hair in here. I really would like to patronize this salon more, however, they are on the pricey side of things. My particular service came out to $95 for blow-dry and trim. But it is a lovely place to get your hair done. The stylists and assistants clearly enjoy doing their job; they're very friendly and work well together. If you have a couple dollars, I'd say it's definitely worth it to go in and pamper yourself. read more

Walking into the salon I am immediately impressed with the level of professionalism and customer care starting with a warm greeting and an offer of infused water or hot tea to the immediacy in which my scheduled service began. As Candi, stylist and owner evaluates the condition of my hair's health, I quickly realize I am in the hands of a skilled and experienced "Hair Doctor". Candi's surgical like hair treatments, cutting and intuitive hair coloring skills demonstrate an awareness of not only my personal needs but as I look around the salon at other patrons I am provided with clear evidence of her ability to work with diverse hair textures/types. As I continue with my service I can't help but witness the emotions of joy and satisfaction on her finished clients faces after taking their final glances in the salon mirrors at their finished product. After taking my final glance in the mirror, I too am a satisfied patron. Thank you. read more

Fabolous place!..great owner..great staff..you will come out looking fabolous..i promise you that!!!!

I have been with my stylist for 18 years and was hesitant to try someone new. After experiencing a consultation, conditioning treatment, trim and blow out, Mia Bell will absolutely be where I go to get my hair done. Head stylist Candi and her staff are warm and welcoming. My hair has NEVER looked and felt so amazing! Looking forward to my next appointment! read more

I love Mia Bella! You are greeted as soon as you walk in. The ladies work quickly to get you started so you are not waiting all day. Candi - the head stylist- is attentive and makes you feel comfortable right away. She is a fabulous stylist and her coloring expertise is outstanding! I highly recommend Mia Bella. You will not be disappointed. read more

I have been with Candi for quite some time. I just tell her I want to look fabulous and she does the rest. What can I say it is exciting to have a stylist that knows you well! read more

I've been going to Candi for a couple of years now, and I couldn't be happier. The reason I started going to her is because my friend Laura was growing out her chemically treated hair and wanted to go natural for good. Laura kept me informed at every stage of the process, and she has the most healthy, beautiful head of hair I've ever seen. So that was it, that sold me. I went to see Candi with my own set of issues and she has always come up with a solution that has worked. She's also the only person, in YEARS of looking, who has EVER found a decent color for me, that actually covered the grays! I had given up hope, but somehow Candi made it work. I said to her, "This is YOUR hair, not mine. Deal with it." And she did. There are still some new things I want to try that I've seen Candi accomplish on other clients, and she does a beautiful job. But aside from her abilities as a stylist, I enjoy my appointments at Mia Bella because it's a great, smart, interesting group of ladies and I like the conversation & banter just as much as the results. The other stylists are all accomplished and talented, and they do all types of hair. I have seen men and women of various ethnicities at the salon. So whatever you might be looking for in terms of your hair care, chances are you will find your solution at Mia Bella at competitive and, in my opinion, fair prices. I highly recommend this salon. read more
