I first met Kayla back in 2018 when she was still working at a different salon. As a busy working…read moremom, it's hard for me to find time for self-care, and getting my hair done every 3 months is usually the only thing I make time for. Because I don't get many opportunities to relax, I truly appreciate every appointment with Kayla. She's so gentle that I almost always end up taking a quick nap while she's doing my hair! My favorite part is when she washes my hair. Her amazing head and neck massage is such a relaxing treat. One thing I really love about Kayla is that she knows how to read her clients. She lets me enjoy the quiet and doesn't fill my time with unnecessary small talk like some salons do. Those few peaceful hours are exactly what I need. That's why I've stayed with her all these years and even followed her when she opened her own salon. I've also trusted her with my mom, my husband, my two boys, and several friends. They all love her work, and I always get compliments on my hair. On top of that, her salon is always clean, welcoming, and beautifully maintained. She's also incredibly thoughtful and always offers coffee or a drink to make her clients feel comfortable. My only advice: book your appointment well in advance because she's that good--and she's almost always fully booked!

I told her I didn't know exactly what I wanted to do to my hair but I just knew that it was looking dull and overall just needed a refresh. She was able to give me a lot of knowledge of what she can do. She was also very comforting and friendly during the whole process. I love my hair and had a 10/10 experience through it all! Definitely recommend this place! Also, really love the location and vibe of this salon. It really made me feel at home and comfortable. Looking forward to coming back for my next appointment with Rheina!

absolutely horrible experience. idk if its a Vagaro scheduling issue if thats what we're calling it…read moreor simply unprofessional stylist. Woke up early today Saturday to take my mother for her first ever hair appt scheduled for 9. We get there 9:12 (i believe) and theres a stylist there already working. States the stylist Sarah is on her way. To me is a red flag as if youre doing color & highlights your station would at least be prepped already.. we waited sitting there till 9:45 hoping she would show up..never showed up. The stylist there was kind enough to call her again (no answer) and offered my mom help but i declined. We set this appointment up for her as we have a party later today and had the time slot specifically for this. Waste of time & waste of a drive to sit there for about 40 minutes hoping she would show. This literally ruined the day. Didnt get a follow up call or nothing. Like i said idk if its a schedule issue or something that i did on my end wrong? but i have the screenshot of the email & confirmation of the appt for today.

Marga did an absolutely incredible job! I went in to get my head shaved (not for any health…read morereasons), and she was so supportive and helpful throughout the entire process. She also helped me style and customize my wig. I honestly thought a wig could never look natural on me, but Marga completely changed that. She gave it an amazing haircut that shaped it perfectly to my face. It looks so realistic that absolutely no one can tell I am wearing a wig! Marga is a truly sweet person. She listened closely to exactly what I wanted and exceeded all of my expectations. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great stylist.

The cut came out exactly how I hoped, clean, flattering, and easy to style. She also did my eyebrows and absolutely nailed them. She was really thoughtful and conscious about helping me grow my brows out, shaping them in a way that still looked natural without taking too much off and giving advice on what to do to get them where I wanted them. I appreciated how intentional and careful she was instead of just overdoing it. The whole experience was comfortable and professional, and you can tell she genuinely cares about her work. She is really kind and friendly and makes you feel at ease. I'll definitely be coming back and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great cut and brow work.

image plus in the lion shopping plaza has been my go-to hair salon since i was in elementary school…read moreif that's any indicator of how on-point the cuts here are. the vibe matches the rest of the lion supermarket (a little dated). however, the prices are so much more reasonable than any other hair salon i've been to that'll do trendy cuts. i always get my haircuts with annie, who is super sweet and NAILS curtain bangs with layers for asian hair. everyone speaks english here, they accept credit card, and you don't need an appointment, so there's literally no downside. (i guess no hair washing, but ngl at $50 for a woman's haircut do you really expect them to wash your hair lol) if you're in newark/fremont area and are looking for a new hair salon, i swear by this spot -- annie has literally never let me down.

I also appreciated how gentle she was while brushing and blow-drying my hair--it made the whole experience so comfortable.

I highly recommend Renae if you're looking for someone who is skilled, kind, and considerate.

Before and after with Sheila…read more It's been so long since I've done anything to my hair. It's been since 2017! I found Sheila through Google then Instagram. I loved the work she posted on IG and reached out via text. I sent her what I was looking for and she was super responsive, helpful and nice! We scheduled a consultation and prices what I wanted out into 2 sessions and went through the steps of what she would do. My first session was a cut and dye I had asked to try and match my natural color as close as possible and she did! It was almost identical! I then we scheduled the highlights. I did give her an idea of what I wanted but told her to go with the flow. And it came out so good! I love her work and will be back! Thanks again Sheila! This Mama feels brand new. (Pic with Red door was before my sessions with Sheila, my natural color before cut, dye and highlight)

The absolute best at Excellent Hair Salon!…read more Came in for a color correction due to an error that was caused by someone else at another hair salon. Needless to say, Kelly was patient and understanding, listening to my vent about my hair and experience from the previous salon. She was knowledgeable and I trusted her judgment and suggestion. During my wait, Kelly had offered me a drink and snack. Two hours later, my hair is looking wonderful, Kelly did an amazing job; very happy with the results! Overall, very peaceful and calming experience. Incredible results! Would highly recommend Kelly at Excellent Hair Salon -- the best hair salon in Newark!

I've never had to come for a touch up, it never turned brassy and I frequently get compliments on my hair. I also get compliments from other colorists asking where I got my hair done! It is nearly a full day commitment to balayage my long hair so it's extra nice that Kelly is so lovely to spend time with! Vibe is very chill with a steady stream of customers coming in. There is free strip mall parking and a Starbucks next door if you need a caffeine boost or snack during the process. I've also had my hair colored by Kayla as well and you can research Kim's artful color jobs on their instagram; Very talented team! There's a reason why they've been in business for so long and you need to 2-3 months in advance to make an appointment with Kim or Kelly -- worth it!! Photos of various color jobs through the years. Ready for next appointment soon!

This girl, through some sorcery, not only figured out how to get me what I want, but exceeded ALLLL my expectations. By the end of the appointment, we were finishing each others sentences.

She is very knowledgeable and explained the process to me, along with what products she is using. She is also very kind and easy to talk to. Thank you Bella! Whoever comes to you based on your great reviews will not regret it.

For women, don't bother getting a haircut here! Lousy attitude and don't know how to layer at all…read more My daughter showed a pic, expecting to have it exactly as per the pic but it was day and night! The layer was uneven and her reasoning was "this is how layer is". The hair in the back was choppy while the front bang has strands of long hair with it. She even sarcastically said that maybe next time I should count the number of hair before she cut the bang (my daughter wanted a very light bang). Talk about condescending attitude! I actually didn't mind it that badly since hair does grow. It is the attitude that upsets and frustrates me. So, look elsewhere if not, you will end up having a bad frustrating hair day where excuses are made to cover up a lousy skill.
