After a disappointing experience at another salon, I was overwhelmed and worried about the condition of my hair. I spent hours trying to understand what had gone wrong and even asked ChatGPT for help finding a salon nearby that specialized in corrective color and curly hair. Voa Salon & Studio was the top recommendation, and I am so grateful I listened. I scheduled a color consultation with Ana, and from the moment I sat down, I knew I was in the right place. She carefully assessed my hair, explained exactly what had happened during the previous color service, and walked me through a plan to correct it while protecting the health and integrity of my curls. Ana was knowledgeable, patient, honest, and incredibly reassuring. Although she didn't have availability until July, she went above and beyond by fitting me in with Melissa the very next day and personally reviewing my situation and corrective color plan with her. Melissa absolutely understood the assignment. I have very thick hair and a lot of it, and she took her time every step of the way. She carefully followed the plan, prioritized the health of my hair, and delivered beautiful results. The color is natural, blended, and healthy-looking, and the blowout was flawless. Most importantly, my hair still feels healthy and cared for. What impressed me most was the teamwork, professionalism, and genuine care. Ana didn't simply hand me off to another stylist, she made sure Melissa had all the information needed to achieve the best possible result. That level of collaboration and client care is rare. Thank you, Ana and Melissa, for restoring not only my hair but also my confidence. They turned what had been a stressful situation into a wonderful experience. I highly recommend Voa Salon & Studio to anyone looking for expert color services, especially those with curly hair, damaged hair, or anyone in need of corrective color work. read more

Love this place and the staff! Came in for a beard trim as I have no hair, and they accommodated me as fast as they could considering a very busy schedule. Great vibe of music and friendly workers as well as clients. Jen did a fantastic job and made me feel great. read more

Became a new customer a couple a months ago after leaving a salon in Clark (previously in Roselle) that I had been going to for over 20 years due to some issues there with the owner and her "opinions." I must say, what a breath of fresh air and kindness at Voa. I was welcomed by a friendly, professional and upbeat staff and an environment that was very relaxing. Tina asked and listened to the kind of cut I was looking for. She delivered a very even and stylish cut that I was very satisfied with. I am a middle aged man that has a full head of hair that I want to keep as long as possible. lol. So I am careful who I trust to cut and care for my hair. Highly recommend! read more

I'm giving one star because I paid $120 and waited 2.5 months for an appointment and never got my hair done. It might be a great salon I wouldn't know. I called in the beginning of July to schedule an appointment and they explained that they require a $120 deposit and you need to do a (free) consultation beforehand. They were pretty booked up but I was able to schedule a consultation and an appointment for a few weeks later. I paid the deposit. About a week before my appointment something came up and I needed to reschedule. They rescheduled the consultation and appointment (I thought) for about a month later. I finally had my consultation a few days before the appointment but was told that no appointment was ever booked because you need to have a consultation first. Why then, I wondered aloud, would I have paid a $120 deposit for a free consultation with no appointment booked. And why then did I reschedule an appointment then never existed? And furthermore, if I needed to do the consultation before I could book an appointment, why would I wait months for the consultation? Anyways I went alone and booked the appointment for a month later. Day of appointment my son was sick and I could not find a babysitter so I needed to cancel. They kept the deposit and asked if I wanted to reschedule and pay another $120 deposit. So much about this makes no sense to me. Lots of rules. Too many rules. Very confusing. Waste of money. read more

I LOVE Voa! I used to come here all the time but hadn't done my hair in almost 2 years due to a super busy schedule and then Covid... I finally went back yesterday and was beyond thrilled that I did! Paula gave me a full transformation from my natural brown hair to a BEAUTIFUL balayage blonde! She was so skilled with the placement and toning of the blonde - it's EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED!! The salon is clean and peaceful, and Ana and the rest of her team are always so kind and accommodating (even fed my meter for me!) I HIGHLY RECOMMEND going there - you won't be disappointed read more

Tina is the best! For years I described to different stylists what I wanted and was either told they could do it (but they didn't) or that it would be a process to get my hair where I wanted it. And then there's Tina. She knocked out exactly what I wanted in just a few hours! Without damaging my locks too. read more

Still loving this place especially my girl Melissa who does a great job on my hair. I trust her 100% on my blowout, haircut and balayage. She's amazing, gentle on my hair and has a pleasant personality. I believe all the girls who work there are nice and welcoming as well. Everyone are highly skilled in what they do since I had a few of them worked on my hair in the past when I started going here until I met Melissa and just stuck to her. Lol! They are on the pricey side but you get what you pay for which is quality service and outstanding outcome. read more

I have been getting my hair done at voa salon for a bit of time now and never plan on going anywhere else. I ask for Tina to do my hair and she does an amazing job every time and the color always turns out amazing. The only reason I wouldn't give Voa a 5 star rating is due to the fact it's very expensive and not listed accurately on their website. Definitely worth the money considering you receive amazing results every time. read more

Easy trip using the path & NJTransit Voa is steps from the Cranford train station I walked into an oasis of a salon. Lively, warm, and accommodating staff my appointment exceeded all expectations. Ana executed exactly what I wanted without a picture! Kept the length yet brought life back to my hair with the best cut I've had in years. Hair is still manageable, color is brilliant and super shiny weeks later. Looking forward to my next appointment already at my new salon. Come here! Best, Your newest client from Hoboken :-) read more

Voa Salon & Studio - Ana's magic - Makeup Artists Near Me - Cranford, New Jersey

Loved my haircut from Aimee!!!! Great service and very clean upscale salon for an awesome price! Sure beats my $150 haircuts from NYC Aimee was very personable and friendly. She listened to what I wanted and made sure I knew what she planned to do before chopping my hair. I had to make a 7:30 appt since I can never tell when I will make it home from work, Aimee stayed late and didn't rush my cut or my time there. I will definitely be going back, especially since it's so close to home! Thought I would write this review to give back to all my fellow yelpers. There was no referral, I found this salon on yelp! read more

Just moved to Cranford. Tried booking an apt with Jen, but they require a 50% deposit and I didn't have a CC; so instead of taking my payment at the time of service, they refused to schedule my appointment. For a guy's haircut, I would recommend a lot of other local options. read more

Got my hair and make up done here for a wedding and couldn't be happier ! Melissa and Christina were amazing ! Highly recommend and will be back ! read more

It was my first time at the salon and I couldn't be happier! The nicest staff ever and Ana gave me the most amazing haircut! Do not hesitate to make an appointment - extremely professional and immaculately clean salon. read more

I have been going to Voa for years. I love my stylist Tina. She is warm and welcoming and she does an amazing job with cut and color and I love her suggestions. I think the stylists at Voa are more skilled than other places I have tried before landing there. read more

Went to Voa based on the recommendations of my fellow yelpers. Let me tell you I was NOT disappointed. My hair was destroyed from my previous salon but I had read that ANA was a master colorist. She actually goes back and forth the NYC and California to update on her training. She is certified in 3 different color lines. I was almost embarrassed to walk through the door but from the minute I met ANA I could feel her passion. It also was evident that ANA wanted to help me get to my desired hair goals. Let me tell you NO ONE else will ever touch my hair. ANA is amazing (pics to follow). Price point is amazing as is all their products. The place is clean. The staff is friendly. The music is relaxing. In fact, for the first time in my salon going history I took a nap while I was getting my hair washed and deep conditioned. The place just induces relaxation. If you are looking for an amazing salon LOOK NO FURTHER -- book your appt with ANA asap because she books up fast as can be expected -- she's worth the time you wait for the appointment. I already booked my next appointment!!!! Thank you ANA for saving my hair!!! read more

I had to cancel my appointment same day due to my son being sick. I am a first time client and asked if they would kindly waive the non-refundable deposit and that I would reschedule for the same week. They refused to which was extremely disappointing. I would think gaining a new client who would come on a monthly basis would be more important than keeping $35. I will not be giving Voa my business and will support another local salon with better customer service. read more

Hands down my favorite hair salon! I get maybe 2 haircuts max per year but I wouldn't dare going anywhere else. They have late hours toward the end of the week for busy schedules and commuters coming from the city (like me!) but I would recommend scheduling a hair appointment at least a week or two in advance if you can swing it - just makes scheduling a breeze. I've loved every single haircut I've gotten at Voa. The stylists really listen to you about what you want. From my wash/conditioning, to the cut itself, to the styling... the experience is just so relaxing. No botched haircuts and no disappointments. Shoutout to Jen who gave my latest cut and took her time blowing out my hair :D Jen is amazing! read more

Although I really liked the stylist who cut my hair, I am disappointed with their service. I made another appointment to do a hair painting (balayage), and was require to put a 50% deposit down. The total was about $300 and I was require to put $147 to secure my appointment (FYI- my current hair length is up to my chin). The deposit is non-refundable and you must reschedule within 48 hours. I rescheduled my initial appointment for the following week. The day of my appointment, I caught a flat tire on my way to the salon and I called them 1 hour in advanced to let them know my situation. I called them a total of 3x to be courteous and keep them updated on my eta. I was going to be about 30-45 minutes late. Since my delay were to exceed 30 minutes, they could no longer see me that day(which is completely understandable) but they weren't even willing to reschedule my appointment because it wasn't 48 hours in advanced and told me on the phone there was nothing they could do, regardless of my circumstance, that I would have to put another deposit to reschedule the appointment. So, I lost all my money and I can't help but feel like I've been robbed. Their policy is strict in securing a transaction and non-circumstantial. Just because of their service, I'm going to be going to another salon to do my hair coloring and am willing to pay the same price as I did at Vôa. read more

Walked in asked for hair and make up services, front fest girl with a miserable face on. Asked me for my information, name and number thinking I was getting in. She quickly said we are going to give a call and see if the make up artist is available!!!!!!!! Then don't have make up as service if it's only available when it's convenient for them. They never did call me. How can business's survive when they don't know how to conduct business. Very sad way to keep a place open expecting New York prices for Local New Jersey salon read more

I absolutely love this place. After trying several salons in the area, I came across Paula which is not only extremely talented but also affordable. Paula listens to exactly what I want my end result to look like and is great at making it happen and explaining exactly how long each goal will take. When Paula is not available I go to Tina for my blow outs and both are really talented. read more

This is the perfect place for some ME time! The staff is very friendly and professional and the place is very nice. I always leave feeling and looking fabulous ;) Amie does a great job with my hair every time. For mani-pedi Ana Maria is the best! read more

Nicole did an amazing job with my hair, thank you! It was just what I needed and they were quick and the COVID procedures were great.

I've always been very hesitant about trying new salons for fear of walking out completely disappointed or hating the way I look. Having recently just moved to the area & being 39 weeks pregnant, traveling to my usual salon was just not an option anymore. I was already overdue for a cut, and knowing I would very soon have no time to get my hair done I was desperate for a solution. After reading other reviewers compliments here & exploring Voa's website I decided to give it a shot. Not knowing how booked up they were, I was happily surprised to be able to get a same day appointment for a cut & blow-dry. The staff was so friendly over the phone & I was greeted warmly by Tina (who was my stylist) when I walked in. She took great care of me, and listened exactly to what I was looking for (something shorter, lightweight, easy to maintain while keeping my layers). She even made a suggestion for a Wella product (I love their stuff) to help protect my hair from my flat/curling irons which I use frequently (& it smelled amazing). My hair came out even better than what I had in mind. It was so light, shiny, and it made this tired mama-to-be feel very beautiful & pampered. I will definitely be back once I figure out how to balance life with a new baby! read more

Ana is a talented and consumate professional....she's fantastic at what she does especially color. My only complaint? LOL I am off on Mondays and Sundays, which happen to be her off days also, so I do not get to book with her! I recently moved and have been trying to find someone to replace her without any luck. I recently had such a bad experience at a so called "high end salon" that made me realize how professionally Voa runs their operation in comparison. read more

I have been going to see Ana since I was in high school and to this day she (or members of her team) are the only people I allow to touch my hair. I live in another time zone and will wait until I am in NJ to get my hair cut. Ana has an eye/gift/magic powers for knowing what style will suit you best. I will go in, tell her my general wants, but let her do "whatever is trending" (face frame, long layers, etc.) so even though I keep my traditional color and style, she keeps my hair looking fresh and cool. Ana is patient but efficient. She works with you. For example, if I tell her that I won't be able to visit for 6 months, she will cut my hair in a way so that it still looks amazing after 6 months. Ana instills a new confidence in me and has me feeling my best. She also is a great conversationalist, but would respect your if you wanted to be quiet (I am not quiet.) The salon works like a dream. Every employee treats you with respect and takes pride in their work, from the receptionist to the hair stylists. One of my favorite things about Voa is how you can see hairdressers moving up and growing throughout your visits. Ana clearly respects her team and every single employee seems to value working there. That truly astounds me. I tried to book with Ana last minute, but she had no openings so I was given to Jennifer. Jennifer also does an amazing job. I told her in general what Ana does for me, and she gave me the same style I wanted but with her own flare. I felt really safe with her, and felt amazing when I walked out of the salon. I love that I now have 2 hairdressers I could visit. When I see other people leaving the salon, their hair always looks stunning. The best thing you can do for yourself is to visit Voa Salon. read more

I was going every two weeks for a gel manicure until illness made my nails brittle and tender. Ana was fantastic. I have always been fastidious about my hands and she followed my requests perfectly. The manicure was impeccably applied and lasted exactly as long as she predicted. She would encourage me to get different colors that would flatter my hands. I often got French manicures and her free hand line work was amazingly precise. I can't wait until I am well enough for manicures again. I have recommended many friends to go here. I have also received eyebrow waxes that were painless and beautiful. The price were reasonable. I am always able to get an appointment within a few days. read more

Had a great haircut by Melissa a few weeks ago. It was my first visit at the salon. It's a very modern, clean, and Covid-safe salon and I would definitely recommend. read more

This salon is a wonderful experience, professional and clean. Mellisa has been coloring and cutting my hair now for months. The whole salon is professional and polite. Their prices are excellent and I always leave satisfied . read more

Don't know what happened here. I made an appointment for my wife to get her hair done for her birthday before we went out to dinner with friends. She was so happy and thought it was a great surprise. She arrived on time for her appointment and they mentioned that there was an emergency and someone called out so there was a pretty big wait time. That's not a problem. That is understandable. I just would have appreciated a call letting us know the situation, they had the info in their computers. I could have made other plans for her and not wasted time. It really stinks when you make your wife smile with a nice gesture on her bday and then she gets let down. Emergencies happen, I just feel that we deserve a phone call. It would have allowed us to change the appointment or go somewhere else. The company should consider this moving forward. We all live busy lives and have to schedule many things on a daily basis. Please consider this moving forward. From what I've been told VOA is a great establishment, they just let me down today. read more

Voa Salon is simply the best! From the best hair service to excellent customer service you will never be disappointed.

I found Voa through Yelp and I'm so glad I did. This salon is very welcoming and I really had a great experience. I am always worried about getting my hair cut and I'm typically not happy with the outcome but Jen knew exactly what I wanted and did a wonderful job. read more

Love my new cut....thank you Tina. Would be a five except for parking and for the size of the salon the music was too load. Can't say enough about Tina. I found my new salon read more

Love Voa Salon! I've been going to Ana for 13 years now and she is amazing at what she does! She's talented and a great hair artist. I would never let anyone else touch my hair. I get many compliments on my hair. The salon is beautiful, clean and all the staff is friendly. Ana is very up to date with trends. Highly recommend her and her salon to anyone I know! You won't be disappointed! read more

As a surprise gift I made an appt for my girlfriend. They were very pleasant on the phone and helped me schedule it....my girl said they were very organized and on time. Very professional and the hair cut she asked for is exactly what she wanted. She looks hot so I give it 5 stars. read more

Voa Salon & Studio - You looking good girl - Makeup Artists Near Me - Cranford, New Jersey

Voa Salon is the worst of the worst hair salons. I went twice for an estimate for a hair color and a cut they told me $190 went I paid they overcharge and stole my money for $300.00. I wanted a golden blond instead they kept my natural hair color dark brown with highlights it didn't come even close to what I wanted. Their level system of commitment is all crap. The owner Ana is very unprofessional she does not know how to treat customers, she is very knowledgeable on how to snatch and steal the customers money that is indeed for sure. They lie on how much they will charge you at the very end when you pay they will overcharge you with out your consent It is not a high end level system please do yourself s favor don't waste your money and valuable precious time don't go there, go to another salon. It is a very low end business as it is Voa Salon. read more

Tina cuts my hair and does a beautiful job. They always make sure to remind me of appointments which is really helpful.

I liked this salon a lot. I found them here on yelp. the salon is clean, the people are nice and Jen did a great job on my blow out. I highly recommend them. read more

Anna is amazing hair dresser. I constantly get compliments on my color. A friend of mine had a wedding trial with her and loved it. She booked her for her wedding. Great service and great salon as well. read more

I had a great experience at Voa! Patty did a great job with my haircut, and gave me some good tips on styling and care. The salon was easy to schedule and in my opinion a good value-- full hour for a wash, cut, and blow dry, and Patty was very careful to check that everything was even. Overall a great experience, so much better than other places I tried in Cranford. read more

Beautiful salon, remarkable stylists. Everyone form the receptionist to the creative director are extremely professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and amazing with customer service. Ana and Tina both do my hair and both stylists make sure I leave their chairs loving it. They work with me in order to assure that any color or cut I envision becomes a reality. After being a salon hopper- I've definitely found a home for my hair. read more
