**THEY WILL CHARGE YOUR CREDIT CARD WITHOUT TELLING YOU** I never leave bad reviews but I cannot believe this. I had an appointment there last week and unfortunately right beforehand I caught covid and I called to let them know. The man I spoke to was like "okay...so? Are you saying you want to cancel?" I was shocked - does this mean they would rather have someone come in with covid than have them cancel? I understand losing the time for them is bad, but would you rather have me come in coughing? After hanging up I felt really odd about the convo but didn't have the energy to think too much about it. Cut to...today (a little over a week later) I check my credit card account and they have charged it $185. For literally NO SERVICES. I called to inquire and he just says "Yep the owner makes the decisions and I'll see if she's willing to take the charge off but no guarantees". Ummm what? Due to their late cancel policy. I asked him if they would have let me come in with covid. Of course not, and they also have COVID policies where you sign saying you will not come in with it or symptoms of it. And yet they have the audacity to charge my card $185?? For a place that denies the ability to even use your credit card they sure seem to love charging it for literally nothing! Such a scam. read more

I hadn't gotten my hair trimmed since Nov '19. Just went yesterday to The Loft Salon and had an appointment with Sheriene. She was excellent! I feel like a brand new me. My hair feels and looks 10x better than it did when I showed up. Thanks a million for the excellent service, and making me feel safe the whole time. read more

Love The Loft Salon!!! The salon is always welcoming and so comfortable you dont mind spending 4 hrs there doing a transformation. Sarayah is my go to. My hair was dyed jet black for years and with multiple sessions my hair is much lighter and I love it! She took her time and explained the process. Now when I go in, if she wants to try something new I just go with it and it always comes out beautiful. read more

The Loft Salon By Sheriene - Hair Salons Near Me - Madison, New Jersey

I work in the city so have never gotten a haircut locally. What a gem this place is! The salon itself is absolutely beautiful. My haircut by Naz was top notch. Everyone was incredibly friendly. Can't wait to go back when I have time for highlights! Everyone looked great and happy when they left. As to Covid- they're taking all of the right health precautions. The chairs are spaced far enough apart to begin with that they didn't have to make adjustments. read more

I came here to fix my hair and I was sooo happy with the results! Sheriene and her team were so sweet, knew exactly what to do to give me the hair I showed them in the photo and can I just say the salon is gorgeous? (And super clean??) I felt totally safe coming here to do my hair. Everyone had to wear a mask and everything was wiped down between clients. I just moved here and was thrilled to find my new "spot". If you're looking for a new 'do, this is the place for you! read more

I have been going to this Salon for a long time. On genuine case where I had been sick and called to let them know so that I do not infect the people, I still got charged...It is one thing to make money but other not to have empathy read more

Danielle was fabulous ! Did my cut and color. Was a terrific experience. Highly recommend . She took her time and was so very knowledgeable.

Buyer beware- know what you will be charged! They were good the first time I went so I went back to do a Cezanne treatment and for a few strands of highlight on my daughter's hair (no more than a 2"x2" section) These highlights were no more than a 50$ job. The cezanne was good but this time the highlights didn't show and they charged me $175 for them. When I asked why I was being charged that much they said Shereine will call me back and refund the excess their system charged me. She did and said she would issue me a refund. Here I am, three months later, still waiting for that refund that Shereine promised me on the phone call. read more

So disappointing. I went in for highlights and the stylist wasn't very nice and didn't make my color light enough. Wasted $300 :(

I have never given any thought to my hair before. I would go to a salon in that was more like a Supercuts or something. A little while ago I needed a haircut and decided to try to go somewhere to actually give my hair some care (I have long and extremely curly hair...and it's pretty unruly). The Loft Salon is amazing. I have gotten my hair cut by Olga twice now. Not only does she do an amazing job, but she's extremely personable and so sweet and fun to talk to. BUT, you go to a salon for your hair, and she really puts in the care to make sure you get the best hair-cut you can. The first time I got my hair cut by Olga, it was a pretty conservative hair-cut (still shorter than I'm used too...so even that was a change for me!). I loved the job she did so I decided to go back. This time as soon as I sat down, she (rather excitedly too) said she wanted to try styling my hair and give me a very different hair style. She was so excited and confident with her opinion on it I of course let her take the wheel. She REALY took a ton of hair off and gave me "low-fades" (which is a new term for me!), and while it was something extremely different, she did an amazing job and it looks SO good! AND you could tell she was having so much fun doing it and was probably more excited than I was haha!! I don't want to recommend Olga ONLY because I want to make sure I can still get appointments for her to cut my hair. She'l the only person I'll trust with my hair now read more

I actually found The Loft Salon while I was on google. Visiting NJ from CA for a wedding in the beginning of December. I was completely floored with the knowledge and expertise that Sheriene showed me! The overall ambience of the Salon is chic and clean and there's really no one better. Not only did she give me quality extensions, but she went above and beyond for me with only a couple hours of notice! Sheriene didn't know me from the next person but she still managed to over night ship extensions from CA to NJ just to keep me as a customer. Needless to say, even though I reside in California, I will ONLY go to Sheriene all the at back East! That's no joke either! Sheriene, thank you for surpassing any and all expectations and going the extra mile to make me confident and happy! You are a master of your craft including but certainly not limited to hair and makeup, but health and beauty in general! read more

I made an appointment with Sheriene, scheduling it at her only available for weeks. I get a call an hour beforehand asking if it's come in earlier. I agreed, figuring I was the last cut for the day, but they put me with some other hairdresser. They didn't ask or even mention it and I was too shy to say anything. The other stylist was really sweet but I did not get the cut I wanted and she told me she was essentially new to cutting hair... Overall, I was put off by the lack of consideration despite the positive vibes put forth by the staff. The studio itself is nice as well but my experience was nothing special enough to drive me to go back. read more

Shereen saved my hair! She was kind enough to stay open late on a Sunday for a last minute corrective color. I called her in desperation the night before as the salon I went to had given me enormous brassy stripes in advance of an upcoming interview. Shereen took care in removing the stripey look and fixing the color through a multi-step process- no small feature given the bright orange stripes from root to tip. It was an expensive lesson to learn, but I'll be coming back here to get it right the first time from now on. read more

Services for hair are really good but VERY expensive. The people are very nice though. Expensive Reason #1: cut and or color services. Much higher than the average price of a 5 star salon that does a great job. Reason #2 - unforgivable $50 charge. I was stuck in traffic because of an accident and called on my speaker phone where you can hear the loud trucks next to me. The guy told me I have to pay his overhead expenses to run the salon. I was told the owner would call me back...she never did. They lost a great customer. Oh, If you carry $300 you may be okay. If not, we'll, they don't take credit cards. read more

I was looking for a salon for my residency graduation but to my surprise, nothing nearby was open on a Monday!!! I got anxious but thank God found The Loft Salon which was open 7 days a week!

Everyone loved my look and even called me a Filipina doll or Filipina barbie! I felt so beautiful! Lol! Thank you so much! Fantastic job!!! read more

Another overly priced hair salon which did not live up to my expectations. I believe if Sheriene is the one styling your hair your experience here will be much better. Unfortunately the stylist that I had, Nicole, was not worth the over $400 I paid for a balayage and cut. Although she was friendly, she was VERY rough on my hair - from brushing it, to washing it and blow drying it I honestly felt like my scalp was going to start bleeding. This is absolutely no way how a professional should be handling a client's hair. Maybe she was having a bad day? I felt like she was in a rush and could not spend the appropriate amount of time on my hair, and she seemed very annoyed that my hair was long. I have never been to a salon that uses plastic wrap instead of foils for highlights. When I asked her why she said it was because my hair was very long and it would take too much time to use foils. Uhm why am I paying you $400 for then? Every salon I've been to has taken the time to properly use foils, even on long hair. Unfortunately I didn't realize how uneven, stripey and unnatural looking my hair looked until I got home and saw it in different lighting. Some patches are extremely platinum blonde, while others are still dark brown, even the same strands of hair have different tones of blonde and brown, which is not what I wanted at all. I've had WAY better experiences and highlights done for less than half the price. Paying more DOES NOT mean you're getting better quality. Lastly, this place doesn't accept credit card. It's 2019 and you're not accepting credit cards? I own a business myself and if you want to run a customer oriented business you have to accept credit cards even if you get charged a small fee. You're pricing your services higher than other salons who do accept credit cards which doesn't make sense. You're inconveniencing your clients to use your ATM machine, which you can only withdraw $200 at a time, and each time you withdraw money the machine charges the customer a fee. Absolutely ridiculous. Take the hit on the credit card fee instead of inconviencing your customers who are already paying way too much for your services. read more

I not only had such a fun experience at the Loft, but Sheriene gave me the best cut and highlights ever and that's saying a lot since I've been doing this for over 20 years! Unlike another salon in town, you're not their for hours just for highlights. Sheriene colored, cut, dried and curled my hair all under 2.5 hours! She truly is the best. She's not inexpensive but neither are the other salons. With Sheriene, you really get what you pay for! read more

Today was the first time Sheriene cut my hair. She understood exactly what I wanted and was very professional. I love how my hair looks, highly recommend. read more

I had an amazing experience at The Loft Salon. Sheriene is a miracle worker, when it comes to color. My hair pulls a lot of red naturally when I highlight and with single process. I literally showed Sheriene a picture of what I wanted and she recreated it to perfection. Sheriene takes her time to get to know her clients and pays close attention to detail. I feel like she loves it when her clients walk out with a smile on their faces! Sheriene did a single process on me today with highlights around my face. The best part? No red!! Love her. read more

If you are looking for someone you can trust with your hair and looking for a new look, you can count on Sheriene. Once you start going to her, you will not go anywhere else. I've remained loyal to her services for now 6yrs and can't imagine not having her as my hair stylist She is not only on top of the latest trends in color and style but has a great eye in understanding what's best for you. I work in the Fashion Industry and constantly get compliments on my hair color and cut. Her Salon is a reflection of her aesthetic with the right balance of chic, modern yet warm. Highly recommend her work. You won't regret it. read more

BUYER BEWARE!!! IVE WAITED 6 long months to give this business owner the opportunity to make this right to NO AVAIL! On 9.11.17 I visited the Loft Salon to finally meet this SARAYAH that was acknowled as a Master colorist. I arrived early as a sandy blonde looking to get a darker base color& partial highlights. Place was super pretty but was in the middle of construction. I brought photos as well as showed Sarayah the color I wanted on her SALON IG ACCT that she did on a previous client. All was well they offered water and granola bars after almst 6HRS she brought me back to the sink and I noticed her face with some concern she quickly reassured me all was fine. In front of the mirror color seemed Orange at base I told her I wasn't able to deal w Orange & she assured me all was fine. Once in her chair she turned me away from the mirror & started to brush my hair out CHUNKS were falling out & she advised I start BIOTIN for the betterment of my hair she attempted to blow me out & literally it was like someone just starting out I expressed concern &again don't worry. She turned me around after 40m grimmising attempt to a blow out she grabbed a pair of scissors without my permission & ran the inside of them along the length of my hair I asked and she informed she was reshaping. Once I got to the checkout the owner Sheriene asked how I would be paying the $350.00 charge I asked excuse me how much? 350 for today I thought WOW & gave up my credit card. In a rush to get out at 5pm I looked in my car mirror and began to ball out crying! My front piece was completely broken off my head I specifically told Sarayah that I myself was a business owner & image is everything in my field I also had a full calendar in next few months &needed a fresh new look. THATS Y I CAME HERE! I called salon& owner answer & she asked if she could call me privately from her cell she also requested photos &agreed to see me the very nxt morning before Sarayah came in. Nxt day I walked in I waited few min and she sat me down&started to go through my hair she put her hand over her mouth and said "OH MY GOD SHE FUKD UP UR HAIR" I literally was in tears she assured me not to worry that she would do a treatment on me and lift the Orange and it wouldn't be long &no charge??? As she attempting to fix the mess she informed me that I had sores on my scalp and she wouldn't b able to do too much??? Umm WHAT? I informed her that I had a full schedule of events including my daughter's bday party of over 150 ppl, she divulged that the salon was having a bad week that it was Sarayahs 1st week and she was using a tremendous amount of product & she wasn't making much money & had to fix everyone's hair 4 free practically!!! That Sarayahs IG ACCOUNT PHOTOS ALL HAVE FILTERS ON THEM ( defrauding clients) & she needed to talk to her about that bc it was an UNREALIST outlook for clients? That Sarahya was only 21 & called herself a MASTER STYLIST for more $$$$ &her other employee NIKOLE OD'd in the salon a few days prior! WHAT??? I started sweating literally& could NOT believe what I was hearing I thought to myself this place is a train wreck & I just paid for this ABUSE & wait the owner is actually telling me this??? Something is way off. I gave her the opportunity after the treatment to just tell me the truth would she be able to fix the color she assured me I was in gd hands & the owner& has over 20years experience & she's worked in the best salons in NJ!!!! STILL ORANGE AND STILL FRIED!! AFTR ANOTHER 7HOUR SALON VISIT I informed her that the color was very off and still not right she advised that I take a break for Few days & come back to her on Sunday which she could tweek the color. Sunday,I walked into a full salon I asked the rcptnst where Sheriene was that I had an appt w her she informed me her Mom (the owner) wouldn't be fixing my hair NIKOLE would!!!! Never did I connect the girl that OD'd in the salon to the actual girl that was doing my hair. PANICKING AND ALMST in tears again she assured me I was in good hands and yes my hair was ruined but not to worry it happens to everyone!!! Am I in the twilight zone??? She applied color at the root and again muddy and such a burnt ORG color it was the worst thing I'v ever seen. . I ALMOST FLIPPED! I informed her it was free of charge bc of the previous visit she claims she was nvr told it was n/c &she wouldn't b able to reverse the charge unless Sheriene did it. I KNEW if I reacted Id have BIGproblems I contained myself & instructed her to call me!!! She called shortly after promising a credit as of today no call no credit she shld be ashamed of herself and her establishment! Can't wait to see her in court read more

I've been going to Sheriene since last summer, when this space was owned by The Color Bar, and became her devoted client my very first visit. I'm so glad that Sheriene was able to take over the space. She completely redid the interior, and it is gorgeous. Light, modern, and airy, the way a chic salon should be. Sheriene herself is a marvel with both color and cut. I give her a vague idea of what I want, but otherwise let her have her way with my hair. It turns out perfect, and better than I imagined, every time. Sheriene is a lovely, warm spirit, and the salon reflects both her generous personality and technical expertise. I can not recommend her, and the Loft Salon, highly enough. ProTip: The salon is in the alley off of Waverly. There is usually parking in the municipal parking lot, or on King's Road during busy hours. The salon is also just a few steps from the NJ Transit Madison Train Station. read more

I went to The Loft Salon today to get a haircut and a partial highlight with Naz. I just moved to this area and this is my first time in this salon. Naz was very friendly, and thorough with my hair and she took the time to make sure everything looks perfect. I love the cut and highlights she did. The salon is very nice and clean. Overall I am very happy with my experience and I would definitely comeback and see Naz again when it's time to get a trim/refresh my highlights. read more

On October 30, 2021, I went to the Loft Salon in Madison, New Jersey to get a trim and a touchup hair coloring for my roots. After the haircut and coloring was completed, it appeared to me the stylist did not possess the skills to perform these tasks. The haircut was a choppy, disconnected, mullet that was orange and blunt across the back, with super short layers on the top, and stringy pieces for sides. I went to another hair salon to try to fix my haircut and color. The additional work cost me $300.00. Even with going to the new salon, they were unable to totally undo what was done to my hair at the Loft Salon. The stylist cut approximately 5 inches of hair to correct the layering of my hair. The stylist informed me that it was necessary for him to do four processes to correct the coloring to my hair. I spoke to the Owner of the Loft Salon in Madison and she reimbursed me for the for the tip I gave to the stylist and for the haircut. The Owner would not reimburse me for the color because she wanted me to have the color done at her salon. I refuse to go back to the Loft Salon as I lack the confident in their work. I am still waiting for a refund of $150 after 6 weeks to no avail. read more

WORST SALON EVER!!! Recently i visit here and they tried to charge almost 1.k for hair dye removal but last time i checked google average price for hair removal is around 70-150 $ this outrageous the person that was there did not mention the price until it was already done then threatened us to pay when they charged 1.k for hair dye removal WTF this place should be closed and she had the audacity not to even finish her job and only removing half of the dye HELL NO there was no fucking way we thought of paying that bitch that that was a rip off and guess who didn't get payed 1.k that bitch morale of the the story DONT FUCKING GO HERE *sorry for language i'm and just raged up* read more

I used the The Loft Salon for my wedding, and it was a terrible decision. I originally booked them because I enjoyed one of their stylists and wanted her to do my hair. She was let go about 2 weeks before my wedding. Then I had an extremely difficult time communicating with them about the contract and putting in my deposit. After that fiasco, the owner of the salon reassured me that everything would be perfect for my wedding day, and I made the mistake of believing her. On the morning of my wedding, I received an email from them at the exact same time that she was supposed to be at my hotel suite that she would get there an hour and 15 minutes after we had originally settled on. (That's right, she EMAILED the bride the morning of her wedding to tell her she'd be late.) Her crew did not come to my room until 30 minutes after she had declared in her email, which delayed my wedding for over hour (and that took away part of my reception and cocktail hour). In addition, she spent more time on with my bridesmaids than she did with my hair. I was furious, and I'm still furious. If you want someone reliable to do your hair for your wedding, I'd suggest avoiding The Loft Salon. read more

Please be cautious - charged a 14 year old over $600 dollars for a color change. Stated she informed of pricing however this is not true. Web site prices do not include an "hourly rate". All of the other BAD REVIEWS on Google appear to be accurate - will unknowingly charge extraordinary high price, does not accept credit cards, sign is posted in Salon "due to increasing credit card convenience fees, only accept cash" (why would a Business owner only accept cash??) has an ATM for you to give her cash (why have an ATM in a salon??), she refuses to give a receipt for cash paid (why refuse to give a paying customer a receipt), states less money was given to her then was actually given. This - to a 14 year old. Please be careful . . . get the price in writing from owner before you proceed read more

Sheriene was so wonderful on the phone when I initially spoke to her. I love the ambiance of the salon. But I went for my consultation and my hair was not color matched to the extensions I was ordering for over $500. I waited for a total cost for over a week so that I could pay a deposit and was never given a price quote. The hair was never ordered and my appointment was canceled on a day I took off work and planned to get my hair done. I wasn't even told about needing a color match until the day the hair was supposed to be installed. I asked for 20 inch extensions and got a quote for 16-18 inch. It's like I wasted two hours to drive there for the required consultation. When I came to Yelp to see if people had similar situations, sure enough they did. I don't understand why it's so difficult to give a cost for services. Especially when cash is the only form of payment accepted. read more

Sheriene is absolutely amazing with hair! She takes my brownish frizzy curly hair and makes it look beautiful and with dimension! I get keratin treatments with her that leave my hair shiny and straight, and balayage highlights that are beautiful! I would recommend Sheriene to anyone who has complicated hair - she will make it look gorgeous! read more

The Loft Salon By Sheriene - Hair Salons Near Me - Madison, New Jersey

I am growing out my grey hair and it had a great deal of yellow in it. I called The Loft Salon, which is opened on a Sunday, which was great as I did not have to wait for Tuesday. My appointment was with Naz. I told her my concerns and she said we will work together to get the yellow out. And, that is exactly what she has done! She advised me all the way what she was doing and the results are spectacular!! I am overjoyed that I have found Naz. She is attentive, kind and was just as happy as I was that she accomplished what I had wanted. The haircut she gave to me added so much volume to my hair. I highly recommend The Loft Salon and Naz. Thank you so much. Jodi read more

This was the worst salon experience I have ever had. I was extremely disappointed and left in tears after my appointment. I will not be returning nor will I advise my family and friends to. The stylist I was with, was great. However, the way I was treated and spoken to by the manager was not okay. Any customer, let alone a new customer, should not feel taken advantage of. When I originally made the appointment, I specifically asked how much the appointment would cost before booking it since I was told I would be with the manager. The receptionist had told me that pricing is all online and it is not determined from the stylist. After I was told to look online for pricing, I went to the website and looked. The pricing was reasonable, so I booked the appointment with her. That was the end of the conversation. My problem with this looking back is two things. 1) That the pricing online is far from accurate. It is one thing to be in the ballpark of 5-10 dollars, but it should not come out to $100+ more than expected. The stylist even asked the manager why it was so much, which was a huge red flag since pricing is clearly not defined nor standardized. If pricing is based on the stylist, which I was told it's not, shouldn't the stylist know their pricing? That is not how a good salon operates and the manager is taking advantage and charging what she pleases. 2) The receptionist never mentioned it was cash only and knew I was a new client. This later became an issue when I was scolded by the manager for not having cash (which I have yet to go into. Yes, it's in tiny writing on one email sent out of a couple but honestly that's the last thing people take the time to read and it should be reiterated when booking the appointment if it is truly as big as an issue as it turned out to be.) Then, as I was finished and paying, I got into a slight altercation with the manager about the pricing and cash only aspect. I went to their in house ATM to take cash out. My credit card wasn't going through after trying 3+ times, as the manager was sitting there she had asked if I had a problem. I told her it wasn't working as I was flustered and she said it didn't work with credit cards .. would have been nice to know prior. Then, the stylist chimed in and said there was an ATM down the street. I ran there and again tried my card multiple times and it did not work. Coming back to the salon, the manager claims she knew the machine wasn't working. By now, I was completely aggravated and felt disrespected and taken advantage of. As a last resort, a family member had to drive in from another town to give me cash. When I asked how late the salon was open, the manager in a rude tone says "we're closed." After waiting for my family member to come, I had to dish out an absurd amount ($300+) for only a trim and partial highlight. In summation, I do not believe that any customer, especially a new customer, should be treated the way I was treated. A company should make their statements such as they only accept cash, known and clear especially with a first time client. Additionally, pricing should be explicit up front and if "in the ballpark" only a couple dollars off, not $100+. Lastly, I would hope and expect a manager to be nice and understanding, but I got the exact opposite. Not only was she extremely rude, charged whatever she wanted, and had me running around trying to pay when I was not notified upfront of the circumstances. She was not understanding, and I left in tears feeling taken advantage of and ripped off. A bad hair color is one thing, but I will not tolerate being mistreated. I do not recommend this salon and do not plan on ever going back. It is unfortunate this was my experience but now, I hope to prevent other from having a similar experience at this salon. read more
