I read the positive reviews beforehand and Nicole was recommended by an acquaintance. I did hear a…read morenegative remark about her policy, but brushed it off & decided to go anyway. I was very specific about my cut: length, shape, layers, etc. I even showed her pictures of previous cuts. It was nothing drastic, but just needed to be trimmed & reshaped. Unfortunately, it was cut way shorter than specified because *gasp* curly hair kinks up! It's not even shoulder-length which looks choppy & flat now. I guess when you use half a ton of styling products, you can disguise the fact that too much was cut off. I can barely put my hair up or in a pony tail now. I'm just going to wait until this mess grows out, but I will never go back. $50 is ridiculous and way overpriced. The only positive aspect was the girl (long, dark curly hair) who shampooed my hair; she was very friendly and professional.

There are no bio's on the staff on their website so your "assigned" to someone, instead of being able to make the decision of which stylist you would like to try on your own. When I called to make the appt., I asked to be placed with someone who had been with salon at least 3 years and was an expert with color/highlights. I've been getting my hair highlighted for 30+ years and have never had an experience like this, and my hair has never looked this bad. The color is atrocious, the haircut looks like a 5 year old did it, the blow out was even worse. My hair is so badly damaged (like straw) it's going to take quite a while to recover, my hair is very short so I cannot even cut it to remove some of the damage.

A big shout out goes to Joan and Shannon. I came up from…read moreFlorida for a wedding. Before I left, my hairdresser really botched my hair.

Joan is truly a great professional. She fixed my hair beautifully and made it seem like it was no effort at all. Joan really saved the day. Thank you Joan you are the best. Shannon did my nails 2 weeks in a row and did a beautiful job. Thank you Shannon. Everyone at the salon from the receptionists to the shampoo gals were fantastic. I wouldn't hesitate going to this salon on my next trip up. Thank you Tru Salon

I discovered Color Me Chic through the Somerville Facebook page, where Diana advertised the salon…read more My first visit was in March with Diana for a small trim, and we scheduled a follow-up appointment for May, just a week before my wedding. Unfortunately, I didn't receive the discount that was advertised, but I decided not to mention it at the time. During my first visit, my car was almost broken into outside the salon. When I called the salon the next day to inform them, I was told it was because I had parked in the wrong spot and should have used street parking instead. Street parking is very limited, and many people park illegally, so this response was not very helpful or apologetic. Despite these issues, I kept my May appointment. When I arrived in May, Christina was with a client and asked how she could help me. I informed her of my evening appointment, but she said it must had been deleted. I informed her I made the appointment at the front desk right after my haircut in March. Mistakes happen, but she was not apologetic again and asked if I could come back the next week. Since I would be at my wedding by then, this was not an option, and I decided to go elsewhere. For a salon that markets itself as a luxury experience, these incidents do not align with that promise. I hope they can improve their customer service and attention to detail in the future.

I've been going to Cristina Antonelli for my hair for 7 years, from her time at 75 West…read more(Somerville, NJ) to Color Me Chic (Bound Brook, NJ). I've never had any issues until my last appointment on 2/16/24. The following occurred over the course of 7 hours, from 10:30am to 5:30pm. After entering the salon & being seated, I asked Cristina if she had time to accommodate a color change; she said yes. I've had deep purple hair for 4 years & it had been 3 months since my last appointment (the color was holding on well). I showed her a few photos of a copper tone I liked (closer to my natural strawberry blonde) & she said that we'd be able to achieve that color. After the bleach was mixed, Cristina & Diana applied it to my hair in 3 sections: #1 back / #2 left side (LS) / #3 right side (RS). Once applied everywhere, I sat there with a hair cap on each section. After the bleach was rinsed out from the back section, Cristina said that the color was lifting well (light peach color). I returned to the chair as the side sections of my hair were still processing. Cristina came to check on the LS a few times. On the last check, we noticed it quickly heating up. When she put her hand under the cap, steam was rising from that section of hair. She said that we needed to rinse my hair ASAP. This is where the chaos begins (although I don't figure this out until later). Sitting down by the sink, Cristina was on my LS & Diana was on my RS. As they started to rinse out the bleach, I could feel Cristina running her fingers through my hair. Her hands were not going far from my head (as they should have if all of my hair was intact). This is due to massive breakage on my LS. Anywhere from 6-8 inches of hair had already broken off. I could hear the drain stop being removed & reinserted several times. Cristina and Diana were aware of my hair breaking off in chunks and refused to say anything at that time. Cristina then wanted to do a big reveal. After applying the fill color, she had me stay by the sink. Once rinsed out, Diana wrapped my hair in a towel. She took me back to the chair & turned me away from the mirrors. Diana was taking too long to blow dry my hair, especially on the LS. She was being too delicate. I knew something was very wrong. I pushed her hands away from me & I started to touch my hair (or lack thereof). I turned to the mirror in absolute shock. Cristina "pretended" to be shocked. She kept saying, "OMG, I don't know how this happened!" And she kept apologizing. After many tears, Cristina gave me the option to proceed with the copper or return to the deep purple. I went with the copper. The color did not take well to my damaged hair, resulting in various shades of brown & copper. She applied some tape-in extensions to try to minimize the appearance of the bleach breakage. She gave me an at-home hair mask and offered to do weekly appointments for deep conditioning & a blowout. We scheduled an appointment for 2/23/24. After connecting all of the dots & coming to the realization of what happened, I quickly cancelled that appointment. I texted Cristina 2 days later: "Can you please explain what happened to my hair on Friday? The least you can do is be honest about everything." Attached are the texts that followed. It's been over 5 weeks, and I've yet to receive a response from Cristina. Cristina absolutely destroyed my hair. I've lost 6-8 inches of hair in areas on the LS of my head. It will take 12-18 months to grow back. The hair that didn't break off is very compromised. It is brittle, dry, and gummy - even 6 weeks later. We are human, and humans are fallible. Mistakes are bound to happen. Attempting to hide your mistakes is not acceptable under any circumstances. Cristina had a chance to provide open & honest communication when she saw my hair breaking off in the sink, but made the decision not to. She lacks honesty, integrity, and professionalism as a hairstylist and a salon owner. I will NEVER go back to Cristina or her salon.
