Booked The Bar Beauty Lounge for my birthday look and I had a great experience. Their booking was…read moresmooth and quick. I booked through DM but I'd suggest to call. I changed my appt time and they were accommodating since it was in advance. Unfortunately I was running 45 minutes late to my evening appointment and I gave a call to let them know. They were upset but they remained professional and charged a late fee for hair and makeup services, which is totally valid. Kathleen started on my hair first and was done very quick in like 15 minutes. It was a simple braid hairstyle and curling. I appreciate that she gave me advice on the way the braids should go so it looks best with my face shape and hide the breakage I have. Inna started on my makeup once I was done with hair. She was nice enough to remove my makeup for me because I was running so behind but you would usually come in with a bare face. She was the sweetest and definitely knew what she was doing! She moisturized my face and even my lips (I have eczema). Her instructions were clear and it did not even take that long. I got there at 4:45 and left at 6:30. The only downside is I would say the prices are kind of steep. The hairstyle was $60 without the tip. I could understand the makeup being $150 for full glam but I do not understand charging separate for lashes that were used. How else would you do a full glam? Overall I appreciate the staff at The Bar Beauty Lounge and loved my birthday look! I received lots of compliments and would recommend them if anyone wants to splurge to look fabulous.

I have been going to Ruk since like 2015? 2016? And I normally go here 1-2 times a year. I moved to…read moreJackson 5yrs ago and still go all the way to Bayonne for her! It's hard to find someone who knows your hair! So, I've been going to her for a hot minute! I don't know why people are saying Ruk and her crew are not professional. They are talkative, relatable, and real people. Don't you want to feel comfortable esp if you're going to be In a salon for a few hours?? Honestly, I don't know Ruk's crew by name besides her daughter but I talk to everyone and everybody is great and super nice! Ruk is just a whole bunch of awesomeness. She knows I have no idea what the heck she's talking about when she's explaining stuff to me. But is trust her and give her full range on what to do. Whether highlights, lowlights, balayage, whatever! I know my hair will be taken care of and the products she uses won't damage my hair. They also added an addition to the salon. So, they also offer facials and eyelash treatment done by her daughter. This place is cool, hip, laid back, but get the work done. Depending on what services you get, expect to be here for a few hours too. Since this shop is in Bayonne, there is one street parking. My suggestion is to make your appt as early as possible to secure parking in the front or else you're going to end up driving around looking. I've suggested this salon to many people I know. I still suggest Ruk's salon to this day!

I made an appt with Ruk specifically via phone but she never touched my hair or even talked to me…read more I have no idea who did my hair. I actually saw the IG influencer Jeanne there who I know via her IG that she is a frequent customer. Ruk's entire attention was on this influencer. I guess it makes sense that the salon would care more about her than a new customer. However, it still felt a bit crappy. Just be transparent if there is no capacity or please set the correct expectations. I would have totally been OK waiting another couple of weeks if needed. There was another customer who came in for a consultation with Ruk and Ruk took about 1 hour to finally talk to her. Then when that customer was trying to book an appt, you can tell Ruk was trying to have the customer book with another salonist. When the customer then said that she was trying to book with Ruk specifically, Ruk then said sure.

Came here for the first time looking for a new local spot. Came on a Thursday afternoon. Easy to…read morefind parking. Clean. Temp checks. Hand sanitizer provided. Not crowed at all. My hair stylist, Nairoby, listened to my concerns and wants before getting my appointment started. I got a toner, hair cut, and blow out. Took about 90minutes (as expected). It was a great experience and at $105 (also typical pricing), I tipped $20. I was even able to get $5 off as it was my birthday! I recommend this spot and will return. *To the person below who spent $137 and LIKED the outcome of their hair, shame on you for tipping $7, especially during these difficult times. I believe expressing to the salon the disappointment in wait and having them remedy it would have been a proper way to handle this.

It's…read moreconveniently located near my place, and I was able to get an appointment just a day prior by walking in -- super easy and quick. 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!

At first, she does your hair well, but after the first two or three visits, the quality drastically…read moredeclines. She becomes rushed and careless, ripping and aggressively pulling hair, burning the scalp, and stopping the roller dryer before the hair is fully dry - clearly rushing through the service just to be done, instead of saying, "Come another day so I can do it properly." It feels greedy and careless, prioritizing leaving over quality and safety. Blowouts are left uneven, with noticeable patches still wet whenever she feels like rushing home. The pulling and excessive heat caused significant scalp pain, which continued even after I left the salon. My scalp was sore and tender, and my hair felt extremely brittle and damaged due to the lack of care and excessive heat. I was forced to re-wet and deep condition my freshly blown-out hair because it felt so dry and destroyed. So essentially it was pointless and a waste. She pulls the hair instead of gently detangling, even when it is obvious it hurts and even after you say something. She refuses to lower the heat on the blow dryer, despite visible clouds of smoke as she's blowing my hair out, clearly prioritizing leaving over client safety. Which she promoted someone to open the door when she saw the smoke. During my service, she was distracted, even telling friends to remotely restart her car while working on my hair. To make matters worse, she then tries to charge more for a very poor job. I have always been a fair and loving client. I've given advice on natural remedies to improve sleep and digestion, sent her links for supplements, offered tips on exercise and staying active since I am a wellness coach, and would offer her help when I heard her mentioning that she was at th doctors office. I am not a difficult or "bad" client, yet this treatment was unacceptable. I initially gave her the benefit of the doubt, thinking she may have just had a rough day once before and I stayed away for weeks. Unfortunately, my most recent visit December 28,2025 confirmed that I do not want someone like that touching my hair. Beware. What makes it worse is that she's the owner. Her name is Esther. I am extremely disappointed, to say the least, and money is the least of my concern. If the job is done well and I am cared for and protected, the price is irrelevant. I'll pay that and more. That was not the case here. When I shared with her how I felt and explained my experience, she did not apologize or show concern. There are two other local Dominican salons in town that offer better service at fair prices: Annely Beauty Salon and Nshalai Beauty Salon, with Nshalai being the top choice. While I got along well with her mother, and at times she did a better job at Blow salon, which is why I continued returning--the ongoing inconsistency, lack of delicacy, and disregard for client safety/pain make this a place I cannot recommend to anyone I know. Ester or Ruth is her name im not entirely sure what she goes by. She is however the owner
