Since it was my first visit, they created my account on the spot and made the whole process smooth. I went for a layered haircut to shorten my hair a bit. I showed the stylist a reference picture, and she completely understood the look I wanted. The session started with a nice hair wash, followed by the cut and blow-dry. The stylist did a great job -- my hair feels light, fresh, and styled just how I envisioned. They also offered tea, coffee, or other drinks as a kind gesture, which I really appreciated. The entire service took about 45 minutes on a Sunday, and I walked out happy with the result. The total cost came to $99 including tax, which felt a bit pricey to me for a haircut. However, the experience and quality were good enough that I'd consider going back -- hopefully when they have some offers for their regular clients!

I'm happy to say that I believe I finally found the right stylist! Gina carefully evaluated my hair and recommended a digital perm that would best suit me. She explained that I would need three different levels of curls: a root perm at the top, soft curls in the middle, and medium curls at the bottom. I really appreciated how carefully she considered my hair and the style I wanted. She also pointed out that my hair is quite dry and recommended using K18 hair treatment after the perm to help repair and strengthen my hair. Her professional advice gave me so much confidence, and I had no worries at all. Thank you so much, Gina, for your professional recommendation and for taking the time to understand my hair. I'm very happy that I finally found a hairstylist I can trust!

We decided on long layers with face-framing pieces, and I absolutely love the result. He was kind, knowledgeable, and never made me feel rushed.

I would poke my head in there on and off when it comes time to get a haircut and see if Lana is there. It's a hit or miss but I love her haircuts when there's no wait. I have a flat head and really weird shaped head all around. Lana knows how to cover and make it full. There has only been three people in this country that has cut my hair from Cali to NY that can make it look nice and she's one of them. I would definitely recommend her to anyone and I always make sure to tip her well over because her haircuts are worth way more than $18 dollars.

Lana--the owner and the person who did my hair--did not fucking listen to what I wanted; she didn't wash my hair beforehand so that was a sign and started spraying my hair wet with those spray bottles. AND my hair was fucking dripping wet...if I was at Avalon's, my hair wouldn't be dripping wet. She, then, went and grabbed the scissors and started to cut my hair shorter than I wanted.

I found Love Lane when searching for a closer alternative. Downtown is 3 miles away and the walk is very pleasant; it is a treat by itself.

Before booking, I sent photos of my current hair, a previous photo showing my balayage, and inspiration photos from Alysa's own page showing the dimensional, blended color I liked. I also spoke with someone at the salon beforehand and made sure my information was passed along to Alysa. I explained that I wanted to keep my hair on the lighter side since my current balayage was already more blonde. I was looking for warm caramel/honey tones, brighter face-framing pieces, soft ribbon highlights, dimension, and a natural blended finish. During my appointment, Alysa asked what I wanted, and I specifically told her in person that I wanted the color brought closer to the root with a blended transition. Unfortunately, the final result did not match the vision we discussed or the inspiration I provided. The back and crown area remained very dark, and the result felt more like a shadow root and refresh of my previous color rather than the full highlight transformation I was expecting. It appears that the new growth was mainly shadowed and the existing lighter pieces were re-lightened instead of creating the brighter, dimensional look I requested. The color also turned out more brassy than I expected. I felt the toning process was rushed. It seemed like the toner was applied and rinsed out very quickly rather than being left on long enough to properly neutralize the brassiness and achieve the softer tone I was looking for. I was also disappointed with the finishing of my hair. After a color service at this price point, I expected a polished salon finish, but my hair was left puffy, rough, and not styled the way I expected. It felt like there was still product left in my hair, and I had to go home and fix it myself. The blowout fee was an additional $80, which made this even more disappointing. My previous stylist was very detail-oriented and always took her time. Even though she relocated far away, I always left her salon feeling confident, with my hair fully styled, soft, and beautiful. I have never left a salon feeling like the stylist was rushing through the service. I also did not appreciate the way Alysa discussed my hair being "not prepped" while speaking with another stylist in front of me. I was never sent preparation instructions or an email explaining that my hair needed to be prepped in a specific way before my appointment. I have never heard of needing my hair "prepped" in that way, especially since many salons actually recommend coming in with hair that has not been freshly washed before a color service. If there were concerns, I would have appreciated being informed directly and professionally rather than hearing the conversation while it was being discussed with another stylist. I also feel I was overcharged for the service I received. I paid for what I understood to be a full highlight, but the final result appears more like a partial highlight with a shadow root and a refresh of my existing color. The outcome did not reflect the level of service or transformation I expected for the price I paid. The most disappointing part is that after spending this much money, my friends and coworkers did not even notice that I had my hair done because the overall appearance looked so similar to my previous color. I was expecting a noticeable, brighter transformation, and instead I left feeling like the change was minimal and not worth the time, cost, or effort. The service was $560, and I still left a $125 tip because I appreciated the stylist's time and effort. However, I was disappointed because the final result did not match what I requested. I now have to find another salon to correct the color because my crown area is still mostly dark, which is not what I wanted. Overall, this experience felt like a waste of time and money. I paid the same price at other salons and left with hair that was beautiful, soft, fully styled, and exactly what I asked for. Unfortunately, I would not return or recommend this salon. I would advise others to be cautious and think twice before booking, especially if you are looking for a detailed color transformation and a stylist who truly takes the time to understand your vision. A stylist who takes pride in their work should not let a client leave feeling like they received a partially completed service after paying for a premium color service and blowout.

You can clearly see old color was refreshed and mostly shadowed from crown to new growth.

I've been debating on leaving this review since most of my experience of coming to this salon for…read morethe last 6 years has been nothing but great. The salon itself is super cute painted in hot pink, Dolly Parton themed and just overall welcoming. I've been loyally seeing Collie for haircuts since she's a genius when it comes cutting thick hair. Unfortunately, Collie has moved to another state and upon setting an appointment with the front desk, they set me up with Anatalie. The salon asks for clients to fill out a form prior to the appointment in which one of the questions asks for an inspo pic (see below). I also want to note it takes me an hour to commute to downtown jersey from Brooklyn where I live now. The salon is empty and it's just me and Anatalie. She informs me that most of the stylist are gone summer Fridays and that she's covering for some of them. During our conversation, I find out that she's actually the owner of the salon and that she's not usually behind the chair. We have a great conversation, she's very down to earth, very likable, and very easy to talk to. I showed her the inspo pic before she started cutting, and I also told her that I included it in the form. Im requesting for a long shag with a 2 inch trim for any split ends. At this point, it's almost over two hours that I've been sitting in her chair and now she's rushing to finish the trim post blow dry because her last client is waiting. I think we've all been there where we're sitting in the chair and we see ourselves in the mirror and it's not looking like the inspo pic but we're hoping its because it's not styled how you would do it at home. At this point, I'm not trying to be negative but Anatalie tells me that "if I see anything that looks off or needs to be trimmed more, to call in for another appointment" to which is a alarming especially since she knows that I don't live nearby. When I get home, I brush my fingers through my hair and I feel that the ends of my hair were absolutely not debulked. It looks like a block of hair straight across. My layers were completely uneven; one side of my hair was thinned out way more than the other side. My right curtain bang was cut in too deep so it goes past my ear. She also cut much more than the 2 inches I requested. I texted the next day to see if I can get another stylist to fix it since it doesn't seem like she is familiar with cutting thick hair or possibly it's been too long since she's been behind the chair. I was told that it has to be her as there are no refunds offered. I paid about $165 with tip total. I did go to another salon and paid over $100 to get it fixed but the length of my hair was compromised and there are areas like my curtain bangs that can't be fixed since hair is missing. I wish Anatalie was straightforward and could've told me that a shag is out of her expertise and that if I come back another day, someone else could've attended me. And although a refund isn't going to grow my hair out, it would've been nice to have that to cover going to another salon.

It's extremely frustrating to have such a poor experience after years of trust and recommendations. This visit fell far below the professional standard I expected from Laket & Co.

I had a cut and dye there earlier this year. The haircut was NOTHING like the photo, and I definitely had enough hair to do it. The dye they put on ran for 2 weeks every time I washed it and stained my pillowcases. When they washed the dye out at the salon I felt irritation on the back of my neck. I have had infected follicles since then in that area. I went to another salon recently to get rid of the terrible cut and all the dye is washed out. I am still having problems with the infected follicles on the back of my neck from the appointment at Salon X. When I told the owner - Lori - all she said was I could come back in and get the dye redone. She was really nasty and told me no one ever got any kind of infection and no one ever had dye run from being there. She took no responsibility. Her and her X (guess that's why it is Salon X) discuss their personal life out loud and it is very uncomfortable to listen to. When I paid, Lori complained because I put the tips on my credit card and she said - out loud in a nasty way - "well maybe you don't go to salons often so you don't know how to tip in cash." The whole experience was vulgar and I am still dealing with the infected follicles. read more

I came into Salon X from a different Jersey City salon after I was unable to get an appointment post-COVID and could not be happier with the experience. The staff is extremely friendly, and Lori gave accurate information regarding pricing, wait times, and any relevant notes for keeping customers and staff safe with new waiting/cleaning guidelines. I was really happy with the staff not allowing anyone in who hadn't had their temperature taken by Lori, and I saw that each time a customer moved or got up from a chair, someone on staff was fairly quick there to spray and wipe down the chair the customer was in and anything they may have touched while sitting down. The haircut itself was also fantastic. It was my first time there and the consultation process was easy, the stylist I was working with, Gabriella pretty quickly understood what I wanted, asked a couple of questions and then started mixing dye and applying it. Gabriella did such a good job and made me feel so great walking out of the salon. I had an all over color (single process) and cut and am thrilled with the outcome. Salon X will definitely be my new go-to salon! read more

If you're looking for a city experience but across the river, you won't get that at Salon X. Don't let the nice/modern space fool you. This is still Jersey. No breakroom so staff eat on the same chair you get shampoo'd. I really don't want to see people munch on cheese fries and then cut hair. The staff is also loud and I'm certain they have ADD. They talk to eachother across the salon floor, chew gum in your face while they're cutting (the male stylist), and more importantly it just doesn't feel like this line of work is their passion. I doubt they keep up with their continuing education. Tabitha wouldn't be mortified, but you also won't be impressed. read more

Sooooooo, I'm in love. I've written about 2 reviews in my entire life and I reset my password so I can share the gloriousness with the inter webs that is Salon X. With a mop of thick curly hair atop my head, I set out on a Friday night to do one of two things: get a trim and a blow out or chop all my hair off. I decided on the latter, because Lorena walked me through the entire process and basically gave me 8 haircuts in one sitting so that I wouldn't freak out. Lori was completely attentive and an absolute pleasure whilst I hijacked their salon til about 10pm. Literally the best time I've had in a while ... and the haircut was great too! read more

My previous stylist was very detail-oriented and always took her time. Even though she relocated far away, I always left her salon feeling confident, with my hair fully styled, soft, and beautiful. I have never left a salon feeling like the stylist was rushing through the service. I also did not appreciate the way Alysa discussed my hair being "not prepped" while speaking with another stylist in front of me. I was never sent preparation instructions or an email explaining that my hair needed to be prepped in a specific way before my appointment. I have never heard of needing my hair "prepped" in that way, especially since many salons actually recommend coming in with hair that has not been freshly washed before a color service. If there were concerns, I would have appreciated being informed directly and professionally rather than hearing the conversation while it was being discussed with another stylist. I also feel I was overcharged for the service I received. I paid for what I understood to be a full highlight, but the final result appears more like a partial highlight with a shadow root and a refresh of my existing color. The outcome did not reflect the level of service or transformation I expected for the price I paid. The most disappointing part is that after spending this much money, my friends and coworkers did not even notice that I had my hair done because the overall appearance looked so similar to my previous color. I was expecting a noticeable, brighter transformation, and instead I left feeling like the change was minimal and not worth the time, cost, or effort. The service was $560, and I still left a $125 tip because I appreciated the stylist's time and effort. However, I was disappointed because the final result did not match what I requested. I now have to find another salon to correct the color because my crown area is still mostly dark, which is not what I wanted. Overall, this experience felt like a waste of time and money. I paid the same price at other salons and left with hair that was beautiful, soft, fully styled, and exactly what I asked for. Unfortunately, I would not return or recommend this salon. I would advise others to be cautious and think twice before booking, especially if you are looking for a detailed color transformation and a stylist who truly takes the time to understand your vision. A stylist who takes pride in their work should not let a client leave feeling like they received a partially completed service after paying for a premium color service and blowout.

Today, I went to Great Clips and it no longer looks terrible. The salon is right by the Hoboken PATH train station. I'm sure Pam will be fine.

The salon is GORGEOUS and the staff is top notch. Gigi has been doing our hair for over a year now; mainly my daughter as I am growing out a super short pixie cut (last cut by Gigi in March and it is growing out so beautifully) She has cut and dyed my daughters hair for prom, graduation, first day of high school and most recently her first homecoming. Mermaid hair; fire hair; you name it Gigi can do it. Couldn't imagine going anywhere else and when I am ready for my next hair adventure, Gigi will be the one guiding the way.

The only person I trust to touch my hair is my hair guru Gianna. I've been fortunate enough to have Gianna take care of my locks for 6 years now, and it's truly the best decision I've ever made. It was an easy move to follow her over to 6th Borough Salon, even though I live in Jersey City. It is WELL worth the trip to Hoboken. The salon is impeccable, super clean, very inviting, and comfortable. This is very important to me, since my hair is long and blonde, and usually takes 4-5 hours, so I need to love the space I'm spending that much time in. I truly feel like I'm at home with friends when I visit Gianna and the other amazing stylist/colorist at 6th Borough. We laugh, chat, and sincerely just have a great time. I also need to note that the shampoo chairs are SO COMFY!!! Ladies you know it sucks being in the shampoo chair straining your neck, wiggling around trying to enjoy your shampoo. 6th Borough has the best, and I can just close my eyes and relax. 6th Borough uses Davine's hair care products, which if you have not tried you MUST! I've never seen or heard of this brand until my girl Gianna was brushing my very easily knotted hair with ease. I asked what magically sorcery product could comb through my hair so easily and she told me all about the Italian brand Davine's. I bought the products for color treated hair after my color, cut, blow dry at the salon and I'm hooked. My color has stayed fresh and vibrant (2 months after my service), and my hair combs wet and dry with total ease, adding shine and smoothness as well. All in all, if you are looking for the best place to take care of your hair; 6th Borough is the only place to go in Hudson county! Make sure to book your appointment in advance, especially if you want to my hair guru Gianna to work on your locks. Her appointments and the appointments at the salon as a whole book very quickly as the best places usually do.

I was so devastated when she moved back to Hoboken and left the salon. Now there's nothing to look forward to. As for Ricky, I'm no longer a fan.

But when I recommended the place to my sister, who got terribly upset after Ricky cut her bangs way too short (that's above the eyebrows uneven short!), that's when it dawned on me it's time to look for a new & better hairdresser.
