​I am writing this review with mixed feelings after traveling over two hours to visit this salon on Saturday. I specifically chose this location and requested a stylist experienced with long hair perms because I wanted to ensure a high-quality result. ​Unfortunately, the experience did not meet my expectations, especially given the premium price of $380 plus an 18% tip. While the stylist did provide a consultation and diagnosis of my hair initially, the actual process was very fragmented. I was often left waiting while the stylist managed multiple other clients, and different staff members ended up working on my hair at various stages. This made me feel quite uneasy throughout the process. ​Most importantly, the final result did not match the style I requested. I specifically asked for a more defined, curly look, but the end result looks very loose, almost as if the perm has already fallen out. It feels like the service was rushed despite the long wait. ​I also have to mention that my friend, who came with me to get her hair done, was turned away quite abruptly by the owner, who refused to provide service due to the condition of her hair. While I appreciated that they gave us some extra hair essence, the overall experience--from the long wait, the inconsistent application, the disappointing final look, and the way my friend was treated--left me feeling very unsatisfied, especially after such a long commute. Being told that the result was "better than nothing" after spending so much time and money was really disheartening. ​I am planning to care for my hair for another week or so to see if anything changes, but right now, I am quite upset. I hope the salon takes this feedback seriously, as I really wanted to love my experience here. Update. I spoke to the owner Sam. He graciously agreed to provide refund as compensation, I received refund as promised except part of cash tip which is ok. It was not the assistants fault and she did work afterall. read more

I got a digital perm here and I love it! I did a hippie perm so it's very curly. It's been about 3 months now and it is holding up pretty well. Took about 4 hours and the cost was about 350ish? Pre tip. Would go back! read more

I originally booked a perm with Sam, but he cut/layered my hair so well that he actually discouraged me from getting a perm! I really appreciated this b/c from a business perspective, he could've still made me get a perm and made more money but he was very honest and put me first! My friend came with me and she booked cut + color, and we were both AMAZED at how Lia and her assistants exceeded our expectations. You rarely leave the salon THE DAY OF feeling so good, but we were both so obsessed with her hair b/c it was giving PINTEREST!! My friend's vibe changed and she looked so glam and chic. One thing I would note is to make sure they price you correctly! I put a deposit for both of us when we booked online but they apparently did not know when we were paying and were about to charge us for the whole thing. I feel like I still got charged more b/c a cut online is $60, and the total deposit I put was $32 but they charged me $33 before tip? So yea, do double check the total price before they charge you.. but overall we are very satisfied with our hairs even though they came out to be more expensive! read more

Honest one of the worst haircuts I got . I'm better off doing this myself . It's a shame because this place use to be have high quality haircuts last year . The vibes were off and lack of English everywhere read more

I booked an appointment ahead of time for a haircut and loved the style. For $60 women's cut, they will wash, cut, and style your hair. I recommend booking Grimm if you want a wolf cut or mullet. read more

They Charged my child the adult pricing, haircut for both my husband and son were mediocre at best for the price I paid, $45 each...I would go elsewhere. Workers here only spoke very little English so communication was a problem. read more

I booked haircut appointments for myself and my mother, and we are both very pleased with the quality of work at this salon. Our stylists Areum and Soyo were efficient and professional. We showed them photo references of how we each wanted our hair to look and they created the styles perfectly. This was our first time at this salon and we will definitely return in the future! read more

Sam’s Hair - Hair Salons Near Me - Fort Lee, New Jersey

Was visiting friends in New Jersey and was in desperate need of a straight perm. I had been away on an extended business trip (6 months) and my hair was a mess. With some time to kill, my friend dragged me to Hair Atelier in Fort Lee. The place is big, clean and busy which is always a good sign. Because I had an appointment I was immediately ushered to get my hair washed and dried. Once seated, my stylist listened intently as I described what I wanted done. I was impressed with her attention to detail and efficiency and a few hours later I was pleased with my straight perm and trim. Not sure I'd come all the way back to Jersey just to get this done, but if I'm in the area I would definitely check them out. read more

Super happy with my hair color! And I expected my hair would get a lot of damage since i had damaged hair to begin with but it turned out fine, just a bit dry but no burnt frizz. I got my hair done by Sayuri and Soyo on tuesday when it's not so busy. My hair took 4 hrs and i highly recommend going on weekdays if you could. I did two rounds of bleaching and then they colored my hair with violet and then another coloring/bleaching was done at the shampoo chair. Before bleaching, my hair color was light brown(similar to chestnut) and very dry. The result at the salon seemed darker than what i wanted but they told me the color lightens up quickly. After first wash back at home, i noticed pink tints were coming off a bit while shampooing and it looked so much better after a couple washes. I have a very subtle tint of pink with blonde hair. Will come back again when my roots grow so i can bleach the whole hair one more time and try going light blonde. read more

I was originally skeptical of going to a salon to get my haircut, but gave it a try from a friend's recommendation. I was not disappointed and have been going to Hair Atelier for years. The owner, Yuri, always takes great care of me. I've never had to wait when making an appointment and the staff is always on top of everything. Also like how they drape you with a transparent cover so you can use your phone while getting your hair cut. Very clean facility. Recommend an appointment as they can get very busy. Staff is mostly Asian, but language has never been a problem. read more

I've been coming here for many years and have always received the most friendly service. I added coloring to the cuts and have always been happy with the outcome. They updated the salon during the past year and looks much more modern and clean. Since the coloring takes so long, I'm always offered one of those surprisingly good instant coffees. Definitely recommended to make an appointment but the time it takes really depends on how busy they are, as is the case with any popular establishment you frequent. read more

Michelle does an amazing job on gel manicure designs. She is very talented and my gel manicure usually only lasts a week, yet I went to her and it lasted for 4 weeks. Highly recommend! read more

Got my haircut here by Sam Lee. I'm surprised there aren't more reviews because this place is great. I had always driven past it, but overlooked it for some reason until a friend recently recommended it. When I got my haircut, I was still in the process of growing it out from a previous haircut disaster where the stylist over-thinned my hair. I asked Sam to make my hair a bit more full by not using the razor scissors and that's exactly what he did, without sacrificing too much length. As a stylist, he's very efficient and focused, which I liked. He also asked me about my hair care regimen and gave me some suggestions on treatments and how to massage your scalp, etc. This place gets brownie points because they have an online coupon for $5 off, so a woman's wash and cut comes out to only $40 pre-tip. Sam was just as great as the stylist at Hidy, but this place wins in price. I'm glad I decided to give it a try - much better than the "talent" you'd find in Pal Park, I'll definitely be back! read more

My rating is based on their reception and not their service. I don't know if I will go back to get a service based on how I felt from just walking in to get a business card to schedule an appointment. Although there were no customers on a rainy Tuesday, early evening (5pm) and there were 3 staff members in the reception area chatting, not one of them acknowledged us - not even a simple "hi". If working with people and providing customer service is not your thing, then you should choose another line of work. read more

Great service. Quality products. But a bit pricey. Women's hair cuts start at $45. I got a Japanese magic straight perm. They start at $250, but the price goes up if you have long or curly hair. My hair is a bit frizzy and runs down to the middle of my back and so it costed me $270, but I found a coupon on their website, and saved $10. But that went towards extra tip because they were so attentive. read more

I gave this place a few tries because it was at a convenient location but I regretted it each time. I've gone for both my son, daughter and for myself. The staff was unfriendly and they just don't seem to care. They don't put much effort into doing a good job and the finished product was very sloppy. I tried a different person each time for all of our cuts and all three times the stylist was unskilled. read more

I was actually going next door to eat and needed a cut really badly because I had dead ends and my bangs were stabbing me in my eyes so, I decided to try this place out. I went to get my hair washed and it was okay, she was very gentle very mediocre massage. A very young guy cut my hair and he was okay. My hair was dripping wet but he started cutting my hair that way (which I've never experienced) then dried my hair with a lot of effort and it came out nice. I feel he was a bit inexperienced because he kept hitting me cheek while cutting my bangs. I give him an a for effort, though. $45 seemed a bit much for me for the work he did and time he spent. I don't think I would go here again unless it was a dire emergency. read more

Overpriced. There's nothing makes this place special. I don't understand why they charge so much more than other places in this area.

Shawn does generally a good job. He could take more care and do even better-his cut takes like 4 minutes-maybe 5. Not cheap when you factor price, tip and time spent. To the reviewer below, the "hispanic" was only doing as she was told. read more

Cardinal sin of a Salon, fudging the schedule. The excuse was that they are running behind. I double checked 2 hrs before the appt, yet they wasted my time. I'm sure they cut hair well, but unfortunately I was unable to do so because of their faux pas. read more

I needed to get my hair trimmed and I stopped in around 7pm during the weeknight. The whole experience was positive, and they did a good job with my hair. I usually find myself in Flushing for a haircut, but if I need a cut in NJ area, I would not hesitate to get it here. The decor is great and they are friendly and English-speaking which is a plus. read more

Terrible!!!!!! Horrible business etiquette! I called to ask how much my daughters haircut would be. They said $20 over the phone. Took my daughter there for a trim. It look less than 5 minutes for the cut then charged me $30! They said its $20 for boys haircut. They should have clarified that over the phone. Its just straight lying to us. Mind you, my daughter isnt even 2 yrs old. They should feel bad for robbing us of $30 for a 5 minute hair trim. Lying is a terrible way to run a business. The guy with the thinning hair isn't particularly nice or welcoming either. read more

They do give a shampoo hair wash in the beginning before and after haircut. They take time and are careful when they cut your hair. Haircuts usually take 30- 35- 40 min. You tell them how to cut your hair and they do it. For a very stylish haircut ask for Jae for more sporty cut ask Shawn. Great must go. read more

Worst place ever! I got my hair and makeup done here for my wedding, on a recommendation of a friend and it was awful. The day before my wedding they colored my hair wrong and told me it would look ok when it was in an updo. Wrong! Plus I paid an extra $250 for it. I should have trusted my gut feeling and and dyed it back to its original color but didn't. Also the updo was a disaster! I was so upset but my wedding was starting in less then 2 hours and I couldn't do anything about it. I'm figuring they didn't care or got tired by the time they got to me cause they had another wedding client before me that they apparently started at 5 in the morning on her. Still no excuses. Makeup was ok. Just ok. Oh and when I asked what about my tiara I think it was sayuri sighed and rolled her eyes and literally just put it on top of my head not securing it. When I went for the consultation when I was deciding if I was going to go with them weeks before sayuri said don't worry about the tiara let us deal with that. All she had to do was pin it. Right before the ceremony my tiara fell out and no one knew how to put it properly back on. My bridesmaid put it back on me incorrectly and I didn't know and It looked bad in my pictures cause the parts of the tiara that was suppose to be hidden in my hair wasn't and was showing. I ended up getting my hair redone by another place later, my usual hair dresser who I should have went with in the first place, and retook photos later (my hubby had to rent a tuxedo again for this too which = more money wasted)cause I was so and still upset about it. Also I received a phone call that I didn't tip enough and they wanted at least another $100.00 more. Isn't a tip and how much my choice? And who calls you 30 minutes before your wedding ceremony about this? Plus they charged me more then what they quoted me for their wedding package. I would have given this place zero stars if I could! If you have any special day I would suggest you stay far far FAR AWAY from this place! read more
