Used to be happy with this salon, but it has gone downhill badly since Covid & the owner has given up on the place. It is dirty, dusty, owner always has a bad attitude. The salon website does NOT accurately depict what the salon is about & how it looks. Try some other local salons that will be more friendly & do a better job too! I have attached 2 photos, one of a soft brown I wanted for my hair, and the other one is a harsh, really dark brown, that I got from Stephanie the owner. I was so upset. read more

Stephanie's Village Salon - Brown hair I wanted - Nail Salons Near Me - Flemington, New Jersey

See all

Purchased a groupon for full highlights, color and condition and style. My daughter got a mani-pedi at the same time. Going in, my hair was a side part, one length and no layers. I asked for long layers and some highlights to brighten it up a bit. Leaving, I had three choppy layers, the hair was cut in the center, and the side layer was higher than my left year when I combed it over to the side. The stylist told me "dont freak out, Im cutting it for center, even tho you have a side part". The highlights were layered in in sheets, leaving me with vertical stripes, in addition, she must have run out of color, because the entire bottom layer was left as it was. Color selection for highlights was VERY different from my hair color. Long story short, my savings of $50 has cost me OVER $600 to fix, between color correction and cuts. It has taken me three weeks to be able to write this review without crying. read more

I came with a groupon for full highlight,cut and condition... I had the owner do my hair. She was lovely and my hair came out great! Also witnessed a rude customer incident with another stylist and they both handled it wonderfully. I was nervous about finding a place to do my hair the way i liked it but am happy i found a hair home in my new area!! Cute salon also with bunch of cute things to buy but you dont feel pressured. They also offer coffee and gave me a coupon for my next visit. All around great experience! read more

I had a groupon for this salon and was able to make an appointment the same day. Riley was my stylist. She was great- very personable and relaxed. My groupon was for full highlights, a cut, and a deep conditioning mask. My hair came out just the way I wanted it and is super soft thanks to the hair mask that the groupon included. I would definitely recommend Riley to anyone wanted to get their hair colored/cut. If you're looking for a laid back salon (definitely not fancy but clean, organized, and cute) Stephanie's is the place for you. read more

I loved my experience at Stephanie's Village in October of 2014. My appointment was a walk in and Riley was my stylist. She did a fantastic job on cutting my hair just the way I liked! I've had not so great experiences at other salons in my life like many of you, but Stephanie's Village blew me a way. Riley was very kind and knew what she was doing. My hair can be a bit difficult because of its curliness but that was no problem for her. Update: Recently just went back and of course, I wasn't disappointed. Riley did great, my hair looks much more lively. She's the best! I'll be back again! read more

It's all about Merrick! Followed Merrick to Stephanie's Village Salon. This is a clean, cute little place. It's set up with all kinds of goodies for purchase, very eclectic. The rest of the staff is welcoming and friendly, and I immediately felt comfortable and relaxed. If you're looking for a new stylist I would suggest coming here and giving Merrick a try. He's excellent and intuitive and really gets your hair where you want it to be! read more

Great service, attentive owner and staff, prompt, courteous. Definitely recommended.

I am writing this review on behalf of my mother after she told me what a terrible experience she had at this salon. The staff at Stephanie's was very rude to her after discovering that she was "a Groupon" as they referred to her. I would recommend that this salon does not offer Groupon deals if they are not welcoming of those who buy them. Pretty confident that this place won't be in business for long. read more

I bought a Groupon for $19 for a haircut, blow-dry, style and deep-conditioning treatment. The atmosphere was comfortable - the salon is a cute little place. But the haircut is nothing special. I asked for long layers and angles in the front to blend in my grown out bangs; but the angles are pretty much non-existent and the layers are choppy. My stylist Riley was really nice and easy to talk to but she didn't spend much time on my hair. My hair falls about 5" below my shoulders and is very thick - usually haircuts for me take 1hr+ but I was in & out of Stephanie's in 35 minutes. It doesn't look terrible but I wouldn't pay the $45 they charge for a woman's haircut. Also, the deep conditioning treatment was just a regular conditioner, so skip that too. read more

Had a great experience and my hair came out fabulous! Friendly, accommodating service.

Hello, I bought a Groupon for a facial. After calling several times without a response finally I spoke to someone. Wanted to make an appt. for a Saturday facial women said they do not do them on Saturdays!! What no facials on Saturday who has ever heard of this, I am sure it is because of the Groupon. I told her Saturday is the only day I could come, she said she would speak to the owner. Stephanie, the owner, called me saying she can not do it on Saturday only Sunday. I told her there were no exclusions on the Groupon and only Saturdays works fo rme. She said that she can't work 7 days a week, who asked her too?!! Unbelievable so rude, no customer service skills whatsoever!! So I emailed Groupon, thinking this was not a big deal they would give me a refund. Well I was wrong, they told me to give it to a friend if the dates did not work for me. I called told the same thing until I was transferred to a supervisor. She really didn't want to give me a refund, but I told her they would not let me use the Groupon, and there were NO exclusions listed on the Groupon so finally a credit on my account. Very disappointing overall. Never will I use thsi salon again!!! I will also be a bit more hesitant with Groupon. Shame on all of them. read more

Doesn't even deserve a star anymore. I used to like this place but they replace good stylist with incompetent ones. I went for layers and instead all I got was a trim, the lady didn't even know how to give a proper blow out. She said I had a lot of bends so she couldn't straighten it. Are you kidding me. Now on the market for a new salon read more

Hair cut was great. My hair is shoulder length and thick. She charged me 10 dollars extra which I'm not happy about. On the groupon it says long and coarse hair. Which I don't have. Was slightly upset with that. Should've taken it out of tip. She also complained to me that it was going to take too long and she was planning on leaving early... Even though I came 2 hours before closing read more

I also had a groupon - the cut, conditioner and partial highlights/color. When I read the comments on this site about groupon customers, I was actually thinking about taking a loss on the groupon. I have had a stylist for many years and did not want to take a chance and have a bad experience and bad hair. I was pleasantly suprised. The stylist Wendy was very nice and made me feel right at home. She listened to and came through with what I was looking for. I will have to check out their prices for the future. read more

I had a groupon for a mani/pedi. Made my appointment and was welcomed with a huge smile and greeting. Brittney, who just got married (Congratulations Brittney!) was my manicurist. She was very personable, professional, and I felt like I was being treated by a girl who really cares about her clients. I have nothing bad to say whats-so-ever. They have one huge chair for your pedicure and one nail station for the manicure. It's not a walk-in, unannounced kind of mani-pedi place but they do treat their clients well. I will definitely be back. read more

Buyer Beware! Short Reason: If you purchase the Groupon for this salon, please know, they do not realize that you potentially could be a life-long customer. They do not realize treating Groupon Customers well means possibly getting LOTS more customers. The people at this salon treat Groupon Customers like second-rate citizens - they should NOT be offering Groupons at all. They do not want the customers. Long Reason: When I made the appointment the woman who answered the phone was not friendly or personable; she was short and quick with me. She read back my appointment time, my name, and telephone number two times. She took down all of my information and I confirmed everything was correct. The day of the appointment I called to confirm it, and they did not pick up their line. Upon arrival of my appointment, the woman at the reception table did not greet me, and did not actually speak. Because when I announced who I was, the stylist scheduled for me stopped what she was doing at her salon chair with a different customer and immediately told me that she thought my appointment was earlier that day (?). She further stated that she tried to call me to to find out why I was only scheduled for 30 minutes (? HOW WOULD I KNOW?), and she said that the telephone number on the appointment book for me was incorrect (?). I explained to her how this seemed impossible to happen. Because 1) The woman who took my appointment explained that for the Groupon, the highlights, haircut, conditioning treatment, and blow-out would be at least two hours long, and 2) The woman and I confirmed my name, date, time AND telephone number - whereas each item was said more than once so the likelihood of it being incorrect on the appointment book seemed highly unreasonable. She feigned empathy and stated, "Oh, I would normally stay late but today I plan to leave early for my son's game. I tried to call you today because it was so weird that you were only scheduled for a 30 minute haircut and conditioning treatment, I knew something was wrong, but I just can't take you tonight." Is anyone else buying this load? Of course, she told me WHEN I COULD COME BACK. Um, no, Lady, you can't tell me which date or time works for ME. I refused to reschedule. It seemed like a complete scam and a complete waste of time. She offered to call Groupon on my behalf to get my money refunded. I would not trust her with a fly, let alone being responsible for getting my money back. And the only other employee in the salon, the woman sitting at the receptionist desk, she did not say one word. NOT ONE WORD the entire time I was there. SHE DID NOT SAY ANYTHING! Please, do yourself a favor, do not buy the Groupon for this salon, and please, tell all of your friends, co-workers, and family to not buy it either. They do not deserve nice customers at all. Thank you. I must give one star because that is what Yelp requires. They would not get ONE from me based on my experience with them. read more

Great highlights and cut from Riley. Appointment started promptly and the vibe was casual and conversational. I'm not from the area and enjoyed the cute farmers market and espresso place that were nestled adjacent to the outlets near its location. read more

Great staff, great service, great place!!!! I see some people gave little stars and rude comments, which is there right, but I completely disagree. The owner is not rude and is always friendly, so are the other staff members. I can't comment on Groupon because I haven't used it but this is a great place to go. read more

Rude, unprofessional, dirty, and not worth the money. I was given a guilt trip when I arrived 3 minutes late when there was a storm outside. I had an appointment with Stephanie. When I arrived she was the only person working in the salon, and was working on the only client (who looked like she had been there for awhile). I was made to feel very unwelcomed. It's not my fault she was over booked. Stephanie was very rude to me, and I considered leaving. I also bought a Groupon for $19 for a haircut, blow-dry, style, and deep-conditioning treatment. Stephanie gave me the worst shampoo I ever received. Her nails digging into my scalp was not relaxing. The deep conditioning treatment was a bust. When another stylist walked into work, Stephanie had her finish my haircut. This made me feel very uncomfortable. When I told her switching stylists made me uncomfortable, they did not care. On the positive side, the woman who finished my haircut was nice. At first the solon looked nice inside, but then I noticed the dust and hair everywhere. The hair in the sink and styling tools covered in the last few people's hair was disgusting. I would never pay their high regular rates for their service, and I will never go to Stephanie's salon for another haircut. I went to Stephanie's hoping to find a new hair salon I could use regularly. I should have left at the first bad sign, when Stephaine gave me attitude after I apologized for being late a few minutes. read more

Honestly, I was a little reluctant to go here because of the two reviews I read by Groupon customers like myself, but I was quite please with my experience. I received partial highlights and a cut from Stephanie and I had a pleasant experience. It was my first time getting highlights, and everything turned out looking better than I'd expected. Friendly staff. Inviting environment. read more

I don't know what all these negative reviews are talking about. I had a great experience at Stephanie's with a Groupon and I will definitely go back. She listened carefully to what I wanted and paid a lot of attention to my color especially, to make sure it didn't stay on too long. The results were terrific. The cut is great, too. I'm recommending this place to my friends! read more

I bought a groupon for the $39 cut and color. When I arrived at the Salon they greeted me by saying "you're Late" then told me that Groupon had advertised wrong and they would have to charge an extra $10 per ounce to color my hair. I told the girl to just cut it then and she said she couldn't take the Groupon for that either even though it INCLUDED a cut. She said I would have to pay $45 for the cut. They should have at least cut my hair or called me ahead of time to tell me about the mix up. I wouldn't go back here.. ever! They were rude. No wonder why they dont have much business. read more

I would give this place NO stars if I could. Very difficult to schedule an appointment, the owner is rude, and the service was sub-standard. I certainly won't be back, nor would I EVER recommend to someone. read more

Had no problem giving this salon a good rating based on service. My aesthetician was extremely polite, welcoming, and did everything to help me feel comfortable during my Brazilian wax. Additionally, the facility was very clean, modern, and comfortable. However, I do have an issue with how the Brazilian wax was conducted. Since this was my first Brazilian wax, I didn't not realize the issue at first, but after the fact I did more research, and was a little perturbed...the wax they used was EXTREMELY hot. I experienced irritated, burning, itchy skin for days afterwards. In addition, I am skeptical about the sanitation of the wax since it was sitting in a heating pot when I arrived and I did not witness any sanitation process. Finally, I realize this might've been due to it being my first wax, but I had many left over hairs after the job was done. Overall, I will not return for a Brazilian wax in the future, only because I feel uneasy about their methods. Maybe their other services are more reputable. read more

The day before my appointment I wanted to get directions and saw all the bad reviews here. I also had a groupon and I was actually nervous to go. I was pleasantly surprised. Stephanie took care of me and she was very nice. I wanted something slightly different from what the groupon was purchased for, but she said the price was comparable so she did what I asked without any problems at all. It is a little far from my house so I don't know if I would go back, but it was worth it with the groupon. Overall I was happy with the experience. read more

I was treated poorly and should have walked out upon my first interaction with the owner. The customer service is beyond bad and it is hard to believe anyone ever goes to the salon for a second time. The services were below average but the customer service is what is really awful. Skip this salon as the other reviewers said I should have listened, the owner is the rudest person you will ever deal with!!!! read more

Superior service. Great quality. I have gone to A List salons in Princeton, Boston and San Francisco. I can say I get the same or better quality with my color and cut. The service is superior to any of those "A Listers." Personal attention from the nicest people you could ever know and outstanding prices for the high level of service. Some of these reviewers must have the wrong salon. I have 5 friends who have each changed over to Stephanie's from high end salons that spend more energy on the furnishings than the clients. They are regular customers and continue to recommend. read more

OK people, I was a hot mess in desperate need of a haircut/style. I was thrilled to get a SUNDAY appt with anyone and I got scheduled with Riley. OMG she is absolutely amazing. As with everyone at Stephanies - this girl knows her stuff. I can't wait to go back in 6 weeks for another cut and whatever else we have fun deciding to do to my hair. Looking forward to getting one of her famous pedicures I've been hearing so much about. SIDE NOTE: Stephanie is one of the kindest most gracious small business owners I know. She will do anything for anyone and I am glad to patronize her establishment. TOTAL ROCKSTARS!!! read more

I'm giving this 3 stars. My regular hair cutter left the salon she was working at and I wasn't crazy about the remaining cutters, so I figured it was time to try a different place. My first impression when walking in was that this was a nice place. It was very clean and attractively decorated. It is tucked away in the back of Liberty Village. got a really nice haircut. Even though others have said the owner is rude, she was there the day I went and I didn't find it to be the case at all. The girl that cut my hair was very nice and listened to what I was looking for. She did a very good job and I got lots of compliments on the style. The only reason I am giving this 3 stars and am hesitating to go back is that it cost me almost $200 for a cut, style, color and partial foils which is a lot more expensive than the other salons in the area. I realize they probably have high rent in their location, but in this economy, even though I'm looking for a good stylist, I need to be able to afford it. I already tried a second place and got the same exact thing around $100. I'm not at all disappointed with the job the stylist did. If it weren't for them being so expensive, I'd be back, but when I can get an equally good style for half the price in the same town, it's a no brainer. If they ever ran a coupon special that was worth it and I could get the same girl that cut my hair, I would probably go back (just not Groupon, I've heard too many horror stories). read more
