Love Salon Four! The entire staff is warm and friendly. I've been getting my hair done since I was…read morea teenager and have been to countless salons but Salon Four is truly the best of the best. Kelly does my color and as a blonde I am VERY picky. She always listens to what I want and gets it right EVERY TIME. I get tons of compliments. For my cut. I go to Jen P. and she's just as fantastic. She takes her time and gives a beautiful, detailed cut. My son even goes to her now and we will not see anyone else! I can't tell you how many people ask us about our hair. Everyone there is very down to earth and sweet. I highly recommend them!

After spending the last two years growing out my hair, avoiding heat, and maintaining my ends, I…read morewent to Salon Four to get a long layered hair cut I've been eyeing. The hair stylist completely ignored me. She didn't even glance at the pictures I was trying to show her. She said I was "clearly the type of client who didn't maintain my hair." She talked over me when I tried to explain what I wanted and said she would do something similar that was easier to style on a daily basis. She asked how I felt about the length and I said I wanted to keep it below my shoulders. She cut more than six inches off and gave me a "karen cut" telling me "hopefully you can maintain this." I feel so embarrassed, judged, and frustrated that it's going to take at least a year to get it back to the length I want. It's like going to a restaurant ordering a burger and being told "No you're fat. Eat this salad--except you can leave the restaurant and get the burger for your next meal and not wait a year.

We recently moved to the area and was in Cranford and decided to explore downtown bit. We passed by…read moreand I had been debating on a place to get my kids' hair cut and I saw how busy this place was... out of the 8 barbers (don't quote me on that number), all were filled and three were kids. I ultimately went in but everyone was so busy. Eventually, a lady came up to me. The place is conveniently located near the Cranford train station and across the street from a macaron place. There are benches outside for those waiting as well as one inside by the small cash register. They do appointments BUT she said they might have an opening for me in about 20 minutes. I accepted, was added to the list, and my son ended up getting his hair cut within 10 minutes. Not bad! I'm sure it was just luck though. I'm not sure what the barber's name was but he was pretty good! I don't know much about hair cuts when he started asking me about numbers and such for how short, but I ultimately told him shorter on the sides and half as short on top. The place is a bit small and with every chair full, not much room to stand, so I waited on a bench but I caught glimpses. I don't think anyone in the family has had such a thorough job done on their hair. The cut took just about THIRTY minutes for my 4 year old. He took his time and was meticulous, putting in the fine touches and applying what looked like 20 (maybe closer to 5) hair products. When he was released, my son looked quite sharp and smelled so nice! And his longer hairs were coiffed up in a way I have no clue how to even replicate it. I don't mind spending money if needed, but I admit I've never quite spent that much money on my own hair before. You pay at the cash register ($35 for a kids' cut) and I sent my kid with cash tip to his barber. I thought my husband was going to have some choice words about it, but he was also impressed with the cut and the fact that nothing was rushed. This place is legit and the two people I spoke with were nice! Our barber wasn't the chattiest only asking what was necessary, but I didn't get an off vibe from him. He humored my daughter who did stay inside by "giving" her hair clippings when he noticed she was trying to collect them. Overall, an excellent experience. Now I still have to find a hair place for my daughter and myself and it's turn for our cuts, but at least we discovered this one!

I really enjoyed my experience here for my first time, but their pricing threw me off a bit. I had…read morean appointment with Tina for a haircut and full balayage. She was very knowledgeable and professional. Overall, my hair came out great and I love it, but when I got home I realized the balayage was only on my crown. None of the underneath layers were colored. I reached out the the salon to ask what I paid for ($377 in total) and they confirmed it was for full balayage. When I asked why there was no color on the under layers I was told they book and price by the hour, so I paid for the full hour of service and not necessarily full coverage balayage. I couldn't help but feel like I was overcharged, but like I said, I like the result. I went in hoping for full balayage, paid for full balayage and I still can't help but wonder what partial balayage would look like (and cost). But the salon did offer to refund their standard $30 for the misunderstanding.

Getting my hair done by Juls isn't just an ordinary hair salon - it is a worthwhile and empowering…read moreexperience each and everytime! I have been a client of Jul's since about 2004, before the Jul's Studios salon opened when she had a mini salon in the basement of her townhouse. From the moment I first met Juls, when I was about 14, I immediately felt welcomed, appreciated, and accepted. When I first met her I was much shyer, but she always knew how to make me feel comfortable and get me talking. Juls always recognized my gifts and made it a point to praise me and empower me. I love how she can always see the light in others and help them see it themselves. I always enjoyed talking to her and her employees, including her long time employee LaToya. This alone made me a regular client for many years! Juls clearly possesses a deep passion for hair care and styling. She is well educated, loves educating her clients & employees, and constantly expanding her knowledge. Juls and her employees taught me various ways in which to keep my hair healthy over the years. My hair grew much longer and healthier than ever before! I remember people, especially older women and young girls of color, often stopping me and asking me how my hair looks so long and healthy. I built so much trust with Jul's Studios to the point where I didn't want any other salon touching my hair! I mentioned earlier that Juls is constantly expanding her knowledge. On top of hair care & styling, she also has her on handbag line called Jul's Collections where she designs custom Italian Leather Handbags and also creates custom wigs under her Jul's Hair Collections line! This woman is living her dream and worth knowing - even if you are just getting a haircut. Her confidence is contagious and magnetic! She knows how to deliver a lasting and positive impression on my life as well as many others. Jul's Studios also occasionally offers workshops on how to take care of your hair that I have yet to attend! Also, the salon is always clean, organized, and well decorated with good music playing in the background. I commend them for putting in effort to keeping the place on point!

A basic haircut costs $18, which is a great price. Btw, they don't accept credit so make sure to bring cash with you, otherwise you can just run next door the the sandwich shop and use the ATM there. In terms of the wait, it's a bit unpredictable. I've had many times when I was able to just walk in through the doors and get my hair cut immediately, but other times have had to wait upwards of 30 minutes. I don't believe they take appointments either. A lot of the other reviews complain about the barbers talking to one another while providing a haircut. I understand that to a certain extent, but these guys are having a great time doing what they love and it shows and adds to the positive environment of their business. It's just part of the culture of the barbershop so I don't mind it at all.
