I was recently going to Blush in Cranford and working specifically with Diana. She was doing an…read moreamazing glaze on my hair and in conversation we had talked about extensions and how she put them in to grow at her bob. I also currently have a bob and was looking for a more fun way to grow it out. I ultimately decided to have the extensions put in. They were fine to begin with. The cut that she gave me was terrible, it was like I had a mullet, super heavy in the back and just about no hair on the sides, other than my own. It was impossible to style without it looking like I clearly had poorly installed extensions. I had to go back twice. One of the clips was sticking in my scalp behind my ear. She fixed it, then I had to go back again because the bottom track was coming completely undone. About a week and a half later the entire bottom row came completely out. I had to remove all the extensions myself because it just looked ridiculous. Almost $1000 between product, installation, glaze on the extensions (that didn't need it) and a cut and blowout. I messaged them to cancel future appointments and let them know what had happened. Of course they wanted me to come in to fix it, but at that point I had already taken them out and have a terrible taste in my mouth about the entire experience. At the very least, they should've offered me some money back for my troubles...they didn't. I definitely will not be going back and definitely will not be referring them to anyone.

Gabby is incredible and I LOVE how she treated my hair…read more Long review and Details..... I've been getting my blonde hair done for over 15 years so have been to tons of salons, seen many stylists, and have had every technique under the sun done to my hair during blonding sessions. When you've had this much experience getting hair done there are certain things you look for that really set apart some stylists from the rest. Two of the main things which I really appreciated from Gabby during my babylight session was that 1) she took out the beginning foils about halfway through her foiling [when you have thick hair or are getting lots of foils this is almost always a necessity to avoid over processing in the starting sections] and 2) she took me back to the chair to properly give my shadow root, during which she was super meticulous to leave out the money piece section until the end [lots of stylists will have you hover over the shampoo bowl uncomfortably while they slap the toner on]. It's little things like these that build my trust in a stylist and I VERY much appreciated. I'm picky and am usually one and done with most salons when trying somewhere new because I'll walk out with splotchy spots or overprocessed/overtoned hair [don't even get me started on my horror show of an appointment at Cranford's Hair Studio 924]. I can say I'm confident I found my forever hair home at Blush. Other things which didn't affect my hair specifically but made a great experience was that Gabby is also one cool chick. She wasn't overly chatty (bless these stylists for working and talking in masks all day) but just enough to be friendly and avoid too long of silence. The salon is adorable and could be pictured in an anthropologie magazine. Chalk it up to the quarantine rules [less people = more personal hair attention], relief of finally being rid of quarantine hair [I couldn't even look at myself in the mirror], but everything about my visit was wonderful and I left one very happy customer! Want instagram worthy hair? Make your appointment with Gabby asap.

After a disappointing experience at another salon, I was overwhelmed and worried about the…read morecondition of my hair. I spent hours trying to understand what had gone wrong and even asked ChatGPT for help finding a salon nearby that specialized in corrective color and curly hair. Voa Salon & Studio was the top recommendation, and I am so grateful I listened. I scheduled a color consultation with Ana, and from the moment I sat down, I knew I was in the right place. She carefully assessed my hair, explained exactly what had happened during the previous color service, and walked me through a plan to correct it while protecting the health and integrity of my curls. Ana was knowledgeable, patient, honest, and incredibly reassuring. Although she didn't have availability until July, she went above and beyond by fitting me in with Melissa the very next day and personally reviewing my situation and corrective color plan with her. Melissa absolutely understood the assignment. I have very thick hair and a lot of it, and she took her time every step of the way. She carefully followed the plan, prioritized the health of my hair, and delivered beautiful results. The color is natural, blended, and healthy-looking, and the blowout was flawless. Most importantly, my hair still feels healthy and cared for. What impressed me most was the teamwork, professionalism, and genuine care. Ana didn't simply hand me off to another stylist, she made sure Melissa had all the information needed to achieve the best possible result. That level of collaboration and client care is rare. Thank you, Ana and Melissa, for restoring not only my hair but also my confidence. They turned what had been a stressful situation into a wonderful experience. I highly recommend Voa Salon & Studio to anyone looking for expert color services, especially those with curly hair, damaged hair, or anyone in need of corrective color work.

But since I moved, it was time to find someone closer (stupid tolls). Milan's came highly recommended by others who had fabulous hair so I thought that I couldn't go wrong. Making an appointment was easy. Super friendly and accommodating. They also asked all the right questions to get an idea of what I was looking for and pairing me with the perfect stylist. There was plenty of street parking (though I recommend using one of the parking lots because parking is 3 hours there and only 1 hour on the street). When I got there, I was seated right away with no wait time. Gina was my stylist and she did an amazing job getting the colour and cut I wanted. She was super friendly as was Milan and the others in the salon. I really could not rave about them all enough! My colour and cut came out perfect. Everyone's already raving about it. I highly recommend Gina, Milan, and the whole team. Everyone who walked out looked like they came out of a magazine. Definitely come here if you want to get your hair done RIGHT!

Before coming to Sofi's, my hair was 3 different colors (both warm- and cool-toned) with AWFUL partial highlights that were the complete opposite of what I asked my last stylist to do. Luckily, my friend showed me Lene's Instagram and I immediately knew she'd be the one to bring my hair back to life! After going back and forth through DMs and discussing in person about what I envisioned for my next hair-do, she DELIVERED and went above and beyond! She knew exactly how to bring natural warmth back into my hair and she did such a great job cutting my layers that my head felt 5 lbs lighter walking out of the salon. I can't picture going to anyone else after discovering her! Highly recommend, 10/10! I just deducted a star because the price a bit up there...but you get what you pay for. Price: $70 for a haircut (long hair) + $70 for single-process color = $140 total *BONUS: I came in wearing my own washable cloth mask, but they provide surgical masks to clients who wish to wear one to prevent the dye from staining!

I write this as I sit in the waiting area at Sofi's in Cranford. I would like to preface by saying…read morethat I've been to Sofi's in Westfield and received wonderful care and prompt service, so this is no reflection on the other locations. I had a 6pm appointment and was asked to come in at 6:30 because they were running a little late. It is now 7:20 and I have yet to have my hair even washed. I'm waiting because I need the cut for an important day but I mean...come on. I would've rather you cancelled my appt and asked me to reschedule than to start me an hour and a half late. This draft was written in late 2019 but this is why I haven't gone back to the Cranford location. I will continue to frequent the Westfield location with enjoyment but it was such a disappointment and if it wasn't for the fact that the other location is phenomenal, I don't know where I'd go!
