WORST Haircut & NASTY hair infested dirty salon! The male owner who cut my hair complained a lot (had terrible breath but worse attitude) Gave me a choppy cut & he got defensive. All he did was complain about my hair volume hence why i came in for a cut. Wish i could get a refund for terrible service. No apologies or goodbye, gave me the cold shoulder after i calmly tried to reason with him. read more

After reading a few threads in the local Hoboken FB group and their yelp reviews, I decided to give Monica's a try for a very overdue haircut. A hair cut w/ blow out is $65 which is the best rate you are going to find in town (please note they are cash only or zelle). Please note they are not a big or fancy salon, however, they are super friendly and warm and made me feel very comfortable. When I first walked in, I was greeted by an adorable, sweet cocker spaniel and offered wine. I was the only when getting a service at the time and Mark took his time washing my hair. He did a great job cutting my hair and blowing it out. I left very pleased with my look and with several dog treats for my pug! I'm really happy I went here and I will be back again. It's no wonder they have been in business for so long. read more

If you're considering going to Monica's you definitely should make an appointment asap. they were able to get me in last minute and catered to my schedule as well. i went from my long grown out brown hair that i hadn't had a cut since the pandemic, to cute layers and curtain bangs plus a balayage. The prices are great in comparison to other salons in the area and my hair turned out better than I expected. They are super sweet and accommodating over there and i even got to meet their sweet puppy charlie, easily the highlight of my day. BOTTOMLINE: Yes you should come here to get your hair done asap! :) read more

I have been going to Monica Salon for years Mark is a great stylist I could close my eyes & know I would get a great haircut Mark & Monica are like family to me they are a beautiful couple read more

My boyfriend called here the other night and Mark answered all of our questions and was able to get me in right away! I was so happy that he got me in so quick! He closes at 8 and I got there around 7 I believe. I wanted long bangs with rounded layers. He didn't know what rounded layers were but he did give me long layers and long bangs. He washed my hair (I had hair oil in it since I wasn't expecting an appointment so quick lol) and then cut it. I'm very happy with my hair cut! It was $50 which is better than most places in Hoboken. Mark is a very nice man!! He was checking in with me making sure he cut off all that I wanted. My boyfriend and I didn't know they didn't take credit cards at the time. He was accepting cash, zelle, or Apple Pay only. I ran to an ATM nearby to pay him, he was very kind about all of it and he felt bad. I also felt bad lol cause I don't usually keep cash on me. He offered my boyfriend and I red wine and cookies while we were there which was awesome!! Love that! :) I also appreciate his hair tips and the fact that he wasn't trying to sell me on products like other salons typically do. Great hair salon!! He's been cutting hair for 35 years he told me!! I'll be back in 2-3 months for a trim. :) read more

Came here for a trim and Mark did an awesome job - he was quick yet attentive, as well as very welcoming and personable. So glad I found a great local spot as I'm new to the area, and I look forward to going back! read more

Great service and affordable pricing. They were able to take me on New Year's Eve for a woman's haircut. Mark did a wonderful job!

Just moved to the area & needed a good trim all the reviews sold me & I understand why :) such welcoming people & got a good cut !

Made an appointment for my husband and myself to get haircuts; neither of us have been to a salon since the 2019 holidays. The staff was so nice and welcoming! Masks are mandatory which we appreciated and our stylist was very helpful in talking through low maintenance hairstyles with us. We were both done in under an hour and we love the cuts we got! Long layers were perfect for me and my husband's undercut looks great. We will definitely be back! read more

Monica Salon - Long layers with face framing and bangs. The color is left over from previous treatment at another salon. - Hair Salons Near Me - Hoboken, New Jersey

Cute little place. Super clean. Very nice people. My daughter went from super long to boy short. They kept checking in every step of the way to be sure she liked it. My daughter was thrilled. Very happy with the level of service. Would highly recommend. read more

I chose to try out Monica Salon because they had availability last minute and the great price. What I didn't realize I'd get is the best haircut I've ever gotten. Historically, I've asked for long layers and two inches off the bottom in an effort to have lighter and bouncier hair, that was still long. But Mark made recommendations I would have never even known about to achieve exactly what I wanted. The result was perfect, which was a first for me. His warmth, expertise in maintaining healthy hair, and genuineness has made me into a future loyal customer. Will definitely be back every three months! read more

An absolute hidden gem in Hoboken!!! Salon is very no frills but Monica and Mark may truly be the kindest most welcoming people I've met. I have been looking for a salon in the area but many others are insanely pricey. For $50 I got a wonderful haircut that came out so well random strangers in the grocery store complimented me! I highly recommend this salon, mark and Monica are angels and I am so glad I stumbled upon them! read more

This is the best salon I have been to in NJ/NY! Mark took the time to listen to how I wanted my hair to look and made some suggestions that gave me a hairstyle that was even better than my expectations. My hair feels healthier than it has in a long time and I learned a few tips about hair care as well! I would definitely recommend going to Monica Salon. Even the neighborhood kids were popping in to say hi on their way home from school, so you know Mark and Monica have a truly special business! read more

The owners are so kind and do a fantastic job with a haircut and blow out for a great price!

Love, love, love this place! For nearly 10 years I had been going to a fancy salon with an expensive stylist but when the company closed I went in the opposite direction and chose Monica's, mainly due to its convenient location. Boy do I wish I knew about this place 10 years ago! It's laid back, inexpensive and the owner, Mark, knows hair so well! Not only do I love my haircuts, but I love the experience of getting my hair cut! The salon is like someone's living room. People from the neighborhood just roll on through while you're getting your hair washed. Before discovering Monica's I used to look in the mirror and frown when my hairstyle grew out. Now I think, "Yay, I get to see my hair stylist again!" read more

Mark has been cutting my hair for years and I can't imagine going anywhere else. I have always worn my hair short but have changed the style many times over the years and Mark always nails it every time I come in with a new idea. People on the street have stopped me for years asking me who cuts my hair. Finding a person that can do a great womans short cut is hard, believe me I know because I've had many bad cuts before I found Mark at monicas salon. I moved to Brooklyn 3 years ago and still travel to Hoboken to see Mark because he's thst good! Along with his talent Mark is just a great guy. All the dogs in the neighborhood adore him and stop in to get their treats. read more

Really great place. Family/neighborhood atmosphere. Phenomenal haircut, best and now only place I go in Hoboken! read more

Mark is amazing. He knows what he's doing and he made my hair look fantastic. The price was unbeatable anywhere, especially in Hoboken. It's a no frills kind of place but he's extremely talented.

my entire family has been coming to Monica's and we couldn't be happier. Mark and Monica are such talented hair stylists. Friendly, well priced and professional. Highly recommended read more

Mark does an amazing job! Recommend him to all my friends. What's even nicer is how friendly he is to our four legged friends. My dog literally goes crazy every time we walk past his store! I can't recommend the place enough, really nice guy, does a great job with both adults and kids! Also very reasonably priced... read more

LOVE this salon! I have been to many "fancier" salons, but no one compares to Monica's. Mark always knows what to do with my hair, even when I don't and I trust him completely. It is low key, friendly & affordable and always makes me smile going there! read more

I was in search of a new salon for a while. Mark will no doubt agree that it was a LONG while since there was quite a bit of cleaning up to do. I provided some pics of my desired cut for reference and the results are excellent. I am glad I trusted fellow yelp reviewers and tried this place out. For a quality cut, non-pretentious, no frills atmosphere and a price that can't be beat this is your place. PS - Not just a win for me. I came in during the end of the World Cup - Croatia/England - match and caught the winning goal! Croatia and I had a great hair day . read more

I was so nervous about trying a new place, but couldn't keep driving back up to my old place, as I moved 10 years ago! Researched ALL the hair salons in Hoboken, and fell in love with the picture of long layers posted by a previous reviewer. This place is amazing. Everyone is so warm and welcoming that you feel like a part of the family. The haircut is EXACTLY what I wanted!!! read more

I will definitely be going back in a few months! read more
