I had Stephanie cut my hair today and I have been searching for a good salon in this area for around a year and finally found it here at vanity! She was absolutely phenomenal - my hair looks so healthy and it is the perfect color that I wanted! Great salon with even better customer service!! read more

I don't trust anyone else with my hair! I have long, very thick hair that I only cut about once every 5 - 6 months and they know exactly how to deal with my 30 pounds of thick hair. I recently got a few highlights put in, which I was nervous about, so Teresa put just the right amout in my hair, so it just looks a bit sunkissed. They always bend over backwards to make sure you're happy and comfortable. Oh, and the shampoos are hypnotic! A complete treat! read more

This was my first visit to Vanity 18 and it was absolutely wonderful! Teresa is a doll and Stephanie, who cut, colored and straighten my hair is amazing. She gave me the exact cut I described and the prices were great! I'm going back in December for a keratin treatment, color and cut. read more

Teresa V. and the Vanity 18 Hair Studio staff are AS GOOD AS IT GETS! Let me just say that I stopped using Vanity 18 for a couple of years because I'd decided that it was too far to drive (from Long Branch). Instead, I started using a place in Asbury but realized a few weeks ago that, although the new place was good with color, there was no "human connection," it was very expensive, and I'd get bounced around on occasion from my original stylist (with no advanced notice). Parking in Asbury is also becoming a nightmare. Anyway, my last visit was way overpriced for only a few highlights and a root touch-up (no blow-dry or anything), so I decided to go back to Vanity 18 as it is only 10-15 minutes farther down Main Street . . . and I actually missed Teresa. Very smart move! I returned to Vanity 18 only to discover that they now have a 10-minute hair color treatment, which is AWESOME, not to mention that Teresa did the best highlight job (with a few lowlights for effect) that I've have ever had (no joke), and for much less than the Asbury place. (Also, Annette works miracles with "senior" hair; you'd have to see it to believe it!) Wait, it gets better: New(ish) Saturday summer hours are from 6 A.M. till 12 P.M. (noon). I don't know about you, but I have no interest in driving in shore traffic to get my hair done on a Saturday. That fact that Teresa accommodates "locals" needs no embellishing; she clearly considers her clients. (And she clearly considers others who are not her clients with much charity, which makes me even happier to patronize her shop.) So, basically, between that and the 10-minute color, I can rightfully be FINISHED with my hair appointment by 9 A.M. on a Saturday. Are you kidding? Sign me up! Oh, and guess what else? I was there for a 7:15 A.M. root touch-up this past weekend, and she treated me to a breakfast sandwich (they were ordering out)! (Coffee is always free.) Anyway, I could go on and on about many other "extras" that she has done, but I think I've made my point. I am sorry I ever left, but it was a good lesson learned, and I am elated to be back. Kudos, you guys . . . and thanks for taking me back! read more

What an amazing Salon. The stylists are friendly and Stephanie Z is very talented and very accommodating and did I mention - Funny!

I'm so happy with my experience here. Joelle did an amazing job with my hair. Totally understood what I was asking for and over-delivered. The owner Teresa is a true class act. You can tell the salon is well managed from the minute you arrive. The salon is clean, the staff is well trained and service oriented. The jersey shore is lucky to have this hidden gem. And prices are very reasonable. Will def return, and thankful I took the chance! read more

Horrible experience with this salon. Complete rip off. I went there on New Year's Eve for a scheduled appointment to get finger wave curls. They tried charging almost double the price that what was quoted over the phone. Also, my hair looked like crap and I had to wash it out immediately when I got home in order to wash out tons of hair product that made my hair look greasy and trashy. Will never go there again and I would never recommend this business to anyone. read more

I got my bangs cut here after a horrible botch job and they fixed me all up move them (:

I can't say enough about Vanity 18 it's a wonderful Salon The owner is such sincere person and very committed to making her customers happy It's such a enjoyable experience read more

Another fantastic facial from Kelly! I always leave feeling so relaxed and refreshed. Thanks again Kelly! My skin never felt so clean and is having a great improvement since I've been seeing her. I have a great natural glow now. As always everyone else is super friendly and nice. :) read more

Salon was clean and the stuff were extremely friendly. They took me same day and were really accommodating. The price is also very fair and reasonable. I worked with Lee who did a great job setting and curling a woman's hair next to me, however, I got the sense that she has not styled long hair in a long time. She fumbled a lot and I left with an uneven and kind of piecey look I was not thrilled with and will probably have to have someone fix. Again, the environment was wonderful but if you are looking to have long hair styled I would not go to Lee. read more

I was very pleased with my service. Quick and easy, they fit me right in just as a walk-in. All of the staff members were friendly and pleasant. I just moved to the area and was very wary of going to a new salon. My stylist did exactly what I wanted, and explained her techniques and how to best maintain my hair. I now know that I can trust Vanity 18 with my hair! read more

This salon is a gem! Teresa takes her time with each client - whether it's a child or adult, and provides her "hair expertise". In addition, they use Paul Mitchell products, and you will notice the difference in your hair. No more leaving the salon with foul-smelling hair for days...and your color stays longer. This salon can definitely compete with the big boys in NYC.. and for those of you lucky enough to live nearby, you should definitely take advantage. read more

I'm very happy with the color and cuts I've had at this salon. My stylist is Kelly. The salon uses Paul Mitchell color, which is not tested on animals - a plus if you care about those things. And there is a $45 single process color special on Wednesdays that is a very good deal. read more

After going to the same salon for 20 yrs., I thought it time for a change. A friend had a fab hairdo and she said "see Teresa at Vanity 18". Going to a new hairstylist is worse than having a root canal - or so I thought. Teresa listened to my story, gently suggested, and before i knew, I looked great! I have since had a haircut from all 3 stylists there, and love them all. So professional and caring, I can't say enough. Please give them a try, especially if you feel it's time for fresh eyes. read more

A great experience. I went in for a haircut not knowing much about the salon, but everyone was so nice and helpful. I got advice on the cut which I love, and also got a keratin treatment done which came out perfectly! Teresa did such an awesome job. I would definitely go back and definitely recommend! read more
