I rarely write reviews and have done so for only the most exceptional service/work. I wanted to take this opportunity to commend Deb Hoffman at Visage Salon for the truly remarkable color work she did on my hair. I have naturally black hair that is incredibly pigmented. In the past, when I colored my hair, it always ended up reddish/brassy. I decided to give it one more shot, as wanted highlights to help camouflage greys. I spoke candidly and openly to Deb about my concerns and instead of just telling me that it would be ok...she took the extra step and educated me about hair color. She was open and honest. She took me through all the steps and reasons why she thought her approach would work to achieve the cooler ash brown color I wanted, instead of the reddish brassy brown I always got. She even took the time to explain why my hair likely always ended up looking orangey brown. After this, I decided to trust her and I'm am so happy I did! She was able to give me the brown highlights I always wanted (and never was able to get) - the result was a true ash brown with NO red/orange tones whatsoever. Deb is truly an artist who really knows her craft. She has true vision but worked with me to achieve what I wanted. I have never been more impressed with a stylist and her expertise just blew me away! I was in awe watching her work, mix ingredients/colors and create. The end result is beautiful. I absolutely love how my hair color turned out. Deb really helped me feel more confident and I felt like a million bucks walking out the door (she also gave me a such great haircut)! I highly recommend seeing Deb for hair styling. She is an expert in color, highly knowledgeable, creative and a true artist. Plus, when she is done, I guarantee you will feel more beautiful! read more

A Cut Above the Rest: Nikolina Delivers Hair Perfection! I recently had the absolute pleasure of getting my hair cut by Nikolina, and I can honestly say it was one of the best salon experiences I've ever had. From start to finish, she was a true professional, and the end result was nothing short of fantastic. From the moment I sat in her chair, Nikolina made me feel completely at ease. She took the time to genuinely listen to what I wanted, asking thoughtful questions about my hair type, styling habits, and desired look. It's clear she's not just cutting hair; she's crafting a style that truly suits you. The haircut itself was meticulous. Nikolina's precision and attention to detail were evident in every snip. She clearly has a deep understanding of hair structure and how to create a cut that will fall beautifully and grow out gracefully. She offered expert advice on how to maintain the style and even shared some great product recommendations without being pushy. And the result? Simply stunning! I walked out of the salon feeling incredible. The cut is flattering, fresh, and exactly what I envisioned - perhaps even better! It's easy to style, and I've already received so many compliments. If you're looking for a hairstylist who is not only incredibly talented but also genuinely cares about her clients and their hair, look no further than Nikolina. She's a true gem, and I wholeheartedly recommend her for anyone seeking a truly great haircut and a wonderful salon experience. read more

Salon Visage is truly one of the worst salons in NJ, all of these reviews are most likely written by the people that work there. Recently Michelle cut my hair into a straight mullet, it is so bad the only thing i can do is pin it all back and wear a headband. My hair was past my shoulders and is now up to my ears in the front. Not even feeling bad about it, she laughed about it behind my back and let me leave the salon. After she was finished she PEELED the cape off of me, to find out there was white glue from the cape all over my jeans/top. When I returned the next day for some compensation for my clothes at the very least, the owner (you know the old guy that looks like a woman) he said "man your hair is pretty f*ed up, I feel for ya, there isnt even anything you can do to it. you might wna consider getting some extensions..if we did them, i'd give you a little bit of a discount, but we dont sorry. oh and yeah your clothes, wow it must be nail glue or something..find the reciepts, i'll give them to my insurance company, if youre lucky theyll send you a couple of bucks." WHAT A JERK. Everyone who works there is trashy middle aged women trying to look young. THANKS FOR NOTHING SALON VISAGE read more

I had a "go to" place for over 20 years. When their ownership changed, so did the service. I needed someplace new, but was hesitant feeling like the "cheating on your hairdresser" scene from Seinfeld. I am not high maintenance and probably get color 4/5 times a year, but I like my hair to look good. Debbie from Salon Visage was recommended to me. I made my way up to the second floor to pleasantly find a sleek, comfortable oasis for all things hair! I needed someone to take charge and make recommendations. Debbie not only knows color, it's literally her passion. It's obvious she keeps current on new processes and techniques and she enthusiastically applies her skills and knowledge to client satisfaction. I was thrilled to find out that the Salon takes Sunday appointments too (except summer)!!!! Being busy with work and traveling a half hour to the salon, this was a game changer for me. Making appointments is easy and Debbie always goes out of her way to accommodate. The customer service and friendly staff is another plus. I definitely found my new "go to" and love coming away with color that looks natural and gives me confidence. The compliments I get when I leave are also worthwhile!! read more

John was a lifesaver at Salon Visage!!! In the realm of self esteem, there are few moments so horrifying as choosing the WRONG color for DIY hair color. I am a natural redhead who has been covering grey for several years, but decided to try a new color when my "regular" color was sold out. BIG MISTAKE. My hair came out a "day glo" orangey red. Bozo the clown had nothing on me! I called first thing in the morning on a Saturday (of Prom weekend, talk about busy!!) and they fit me in! John took his time explaining what he was going to do (I had no idea how complicated corrective color is!) and then did a spectacular job fixing my hair color. It is a different color than my natural (which he prepared me for), but in the end, I like it BETTER than what I was doing on my own! (My husband enthusiastically agreed.) John also added in a couple of extras (a glaze and a trim) for free! His assistant was also wonderful and everyone treated me like gold. I walked out looking spectacular, and frankly had expected some tears in the process. (We all know how much our hair can affect our self esteem!) I couldn't have asked for anything better! Thank you, John!! read more

I've had my best friend do my hair for the past 10 years of my life-- I only trusted her. And boy was I in trouble when she got pregnant. Where would I go? What do I say? I didn't even know what color treatment she was using for my highlights or how she was cutting my hair ( I have curly curly hair so I don't trust just anyone with my curly hair; you have to know it, understand it, so you can understand my apprehension). And secondly, I didn't want to go to some joe shmoe place, I wanted it to feel upscale and hip, like I was in the city (bc my best friend was in Brooklyn). Long story short, Salon Visage met all my wishes. I was blown away at the salon itself. Very NY like. Sophisticated. Modern. Trendy. Hip. John, my stylist, actually taught me about my hair and explained to ME what treatment I was getting for the past number of years, and really dug deep into what I typically do to my hair, "how do you typically part it". I felt at ease and in great hands almost automatically! ( I even said "bye bye" to my best friend who, candidly, chose not to return to work (win win for me and Salon Visage). I highly recommend. read more

I had an amazing experience here!! It was my first time and I went for a shampoo, cut, blowout and deep conditioning from Groupon. I called to set my appointment and was able to get something same day! Everyone was so pleasant and friendly from the beginning to end. My stylist was Alexa and she was phenomenal. She trimmed my hair exactly as I asked while keeping my long layers. The blowout was beautiful and my hair looked so shiny and revived when I left. I walked around Westfield after and received 4 compliments within 15 minutes of how beautiful my hair looked!! I asked Alexa about products I should be using and she was very knowledgeable about what I needed and what type of hair I have. We also discussed added some color in my hair soon and she knows exactly how to give me the blonde balayage I want! Alexa has definitely gained a new client and I cannot wait to return! read more

Debbie is amazing! I go to her all the time. When I first starting going to her I would have pictures of what I wanted and she would recreate the looks perfectly. Since I have been going to her for about 2 years now, she suggests different looks and they all look great with my hair color/ texture. She really takes the time to get to know you and your hair. I get blow outs from her almost monthly and Debbie also does my Brazilian blowouts. Debbie always tries to accommodate me because I am a working mom with very little time to myself. The salon is always clean and the staff is very friendly. The ladies that work the front desk are really nice and never have an attitude. Whenever I make an appointment I get a text message reminder which is really nice and convenient. All around would recommend Debbie and Salon Visage to everyone! They are the best! read more

I've been coming to this place to get my hair colored for years. Olivia R posted a nasty review, but I think she was asking for the impossible. The hair they cut from your head is to test if the bleach is going to destroy your hair. You said your hair is like 4 or more colors, so it must be damaged. Evening out the color isn't necessarily a 1 day task if your hair has had significant damage. Dark hair is especially tricky. I'm just saying because I have really dark hair (nearly black) and I got mine bleached to get a balayage from dark blue to light blue. It took 8 hours but was totally worth it. Sure, if I was a blonde it would've taken far less time, but I'm not. And I wanted to do something drastic and FUN! I LOVE my new color! Wasn't sure it would be possible, but Carmen got the job done!!! read more
