Ever watch that movie Steel Magnolias? Where everyone knows everyone in town and they all go to get…read moretheir hair done and gossip and feel... good? Yeah, this is Bayonne's version. In the 3 hours I was there politics were discussed, high school teachers sighed in relief that summer school had ended, sisters translated for each other, husbands held onto children while moms got a needed break, and people smiled. I purchased the most expensive groupon available because I wanted blue. I really wanted an ombre in blue, but 3 months of debating and searching and reading reviews meant I missed out on ombre groupons. Probably just as well. So I called Elena, told her what I wanted, she explained that the groupon was only for highlights and cut and blow-out. Oh. I made the appointment anyway. I figured that I would work it out one way or another and began searching pinterest for blue highlights. Yeah, that would work. Toniann was my stylist. She's a little fireball. I explain what I want, show her some pics from the web and off we go. Now I will state that my groupon did not cover all of what I wanted and I was cool with that. Toniann explained what all the charges would be BEFORE we did step one. There were no surprises at the end. My hair is subtle. Honestly, you really can't tell it's blue unless I'm in the sun. Is that a bad thing? No, I do at least *try* to look professional - it's hard for a biologist, though. I've had some health issues this year, so my hair has really suffered. Toniann noticed immediately, made sure that we worked on getting it back to healthy, and made me feel just a little bit better. No, they didn't offer me champagne and strawberries. They did offer me water, tea or coffee. Look, if you are one of the "beautiful people" who feels that your salon is a reflection of your status - don't go here. We don't need you to look down on the rest of us. If, however, you want to look and feel good, support a local business, and like being part of the community you couldn't ask for a better place. Thank you.

It's hard to find someone who knows your hair! So, I've been going to her for a hot minute! I don't know why people are saying Ruk and her crew are not professional. They are talkative, relatable, and real people. Don't you want to feel comfortable esp if you're going to be In a salon for a few hours?? Honestly, I don't know Ruk's crew by name besides her daughter but I talk to everyone and everybody is great and super nice! Ruk is just a whole bunch of awesomeness. She knows I have no idea what the heck she's talking about when she's explaining stuff to me. But is trust her and give her full range on what to do. Whether highlights, lowlights, balayage, whatever! I know my hair will be taken care of and the products she uses won't damage my hair. They also added an addition to the salon. So, they also offer facials and eyelash treatment done by her daughter. This place is cool, hip, laid back, but get the work done. Depending on what services you get, expect to be here for a few hours too. Since this shop is in Bayonne, there is one street parking. My suggestion is to make your appt as early as possible to secure parking in the front or else you're going to end up driving around looking. I've suggested this salon to many people I know. I still suggest Ruk's salon to this day!

I made an appt with Ruk specifically via phone but she never touched my hair or even talked to me…read more I have no idea who did my hair. I actually saw the IG influencer Jeanne there who I know via her IG that she is a frequent customer. Ruk's entire attention was on this influencer. I guess it makes sense that the salon would care more about her than a new customer. However, it still felt a bit crappy. Just be transparent if there is no capacity or please set the correct expectations. I would have totally been OK waiting another couple of weeks if needed. There was another customer who came in for a consultation with Ruk and Ruk took about 1 hour to finally talk to her. Then when that customer was trying to book an appt, you can tell Ruk was trying to have the customer book with another salonist. When the customer then said that she was trying to book with Ruk specifically, Ruk then said sure.

Booked The Bar Beauty Lounge for my birthday look and I had a great experience. Their booking was…read moresmooth and quick. I booked through DM but I'd suggest to call. I changed my appt time and they were accommodating since it was in advance. Unfortunately I was running 45 minutes late to my evening appointment and I gave a call to let them know. They were upset but they remained professional and charged a late fee for hair and makeup services, which is totally valid. Kathleen started on my hair first and was done very quick in like 15 minutes. It was a simple braid hairstyle and curling. I appreciate that she gave me advice on the way the braids should go so it looks best with my face shape and hide the breakage I have. Inna started on my makeup once I was done with hair. She was nice enough to remove my makeup for me because I was running so behind but you would usually come in with a bare face. She was the sweetest and definitely knew what she was doing! She moisturized my face and even my lips (I have eczema). Her instructions were clear and it did not even take that long. I got there at 4:45 and left at 6:30. The only downside is I would say the prices are kind of steep. The hairstyle was $60 without the tip. I could understand the makeup being $150 for full glam but I do not understand charging separate for lashes that were used. How else would you do a full glam? Overall I appreciate the staff at The Bar Beauty Lounge and loved my birthday look! I received lots of compliments and would recommend them if anyone wants to splurge to look fabulous.

Since it was my first visit, they created my account on the spot and made the whole process smooth. I went for a layered haircut to shorten my hair a bit. I showed the stylist a reference picture, and she completely understood the look I wanted. The session started with a nice hair wash, followed by the cut and blow-dry. The stylist did a great job -- my hair feels light, fresh, and styled just how I envisioned. They also offered tea, coffee, or other drinks as a kind gesture, which I really appreciated. The entire service took about 45 minutes on a Sunday, and I walked out happy with the result. The total cost came to $99 including tax, which felt a bit pricey to me for a haircut. However, the experience and quality were good enough that I'd consider going back -- hopefully when they have some offers for their regular clients!

My hair stylist, Nairoby, listened to my concerns and wants before getting my appointment started. I got a toner, hair cut, and blow out. Took about 90minutes (as expected).

I recommend this spot and will return. *To the person below who spent $137 and LIKED the outcome of their hair, shame on you for tipping $7, especially during these difficult times.
