    Came here for a signature head span with a friend who was in from out of town and wanted to try a scalp service . This was 75'mins for $200. They examine your scalp before and after and show you what your scalp looks like. The service is nice to experience and very relaxing. This service includes them drying your hair for the most part but no blow out or styling. You can stay to finish up and use their products and hair dryer . Personally i think it is pricey and not something I would do all the time but again if you have the money then it's nice to experience. My scalp felt great after. Parking lot is behind

    Somewhat relaxing experience, I got the 50 minute spa treatment. The specialist did a great job but I feel that it was not worth the money. I would give a try again in the future but the scalp massage didn't leave me feeling refreshed as I thought I would based on their advertisements.

    Jocelyn was amazing! She was attentive and I was completely relaxed. She checked in on pressure and water temperature. I opted for the basic treatment and it was well worth it. I appreciated the explanation of what to expect prior. I loved having a locker to put my things, the robe and tote offered, and the availability of products and blow dryers to use post treatment. It's very clean and welcoming. The only downside is the only privacy is a curtain between the tables. It wasn't a deal breaker or a huge issue since I was there with a group and you're obviously not exposed or anything, but I did read others found it disruptive for their experience and I can see how it could be problematic. I would recommend if you're looking for a once in a while splurge on self care. :)

    Finally made it to the always booked Aura Head Spa. I was on the waitlist and able to get in for their classic 50 minute experience. I had a 10 a.m appointment and arrived at 9:45 a.m. They weren't open yet so I waited outside. Here's a outline of the experienced: Overall Concept is great but staff here needs more training. For spas, customers shouldn't wait outside. That being said, there's no waiting area. This is a small place. They didn't have any info on what to expect. Negatives No private rooms. Curtains divide the 2 areas. That's fine but the woman in the next space talked loudly for the first 15 minutes. I was tempted to ask for a refund. I couldn't relax, she was that loud. They need to post signs telling people to not speak. If you have concerns, perhaps put in email or speak quietly, don't converse with the person giving you your experience. The person giving me my experience got water in my ear. The experience was under 50 minutes so I didn't feel I got what I paid for. Positives Once the woman next to me stopped talking, it was relaxing. The neck massage was fantastic, almost better than the shampooing part. You can blow dry your hair. (Not style it but you can leave with dry hair.) I didn't feel rushed when blowing out my hair. I'd say this place has promise and the concept is great but the kinks and lack of training didn't warrant the price tag.

And now I can say: Finally a place in Montclair where my curls can thrive! Tricia, the owner, was extremely accommodating and kind giving me several options. I am a new mom to two with a tight schedule. My stylist Gennifer took great care-- explaining what she was doing and teaching me along the way. She gave helpful tips for some wild knots I explained I had been having (post partum hair is a struggle). She did a special moisturizing treatment and my hair is so soft from the treatment she did. You can tell she knows what she's doing, has great experience, and is up to date on her knowledge. She is also Rëzo trained! I had the best experience with Gennifer. Another note- the salon itself is relaxing and beautifully decorated. It has clothes that I wish I had the time to try on after my cut! I can guarantee you I'll be back for a cut and to check out the clothing items. Love the service, ambiance, and the end result of my hair. Thank you Haus of Highlights team!!

If you want someone who will take amazing care of your hair and is so fun and down to earth to chat with, make sure you book with Taylor! Can't wait to come back to this gorgeous salon for my next appointment.

I also typically color my hair at home once a month, but a friend recommended Madison Reed so I decided to try them. They took me as a "walk in" but even without an appointment, the staff took a lot of time to help me choose the right hair color and I chose a combination of two colors. The whole process was also very easy. They mixed my color, set me up and 35 minutes later, washed the color out while providing a nice head massage! I'm very pleased with the results.

I drove about 56 minutes to this location with an idea of how I wanted to have my hair done and specific colors,tones and things I was adamant I did not want. When I get there, I try to call to let them know I will be about 5 minutes late to my appointment. Because of the parking situation, though they were somewhat vague about the complexity of it, there is no way to get in contact with them drectly, it's just prompts on prompts on prompts from an AI machine that really gets you nowhere. After arriving at 4:50pm for my 4:45pm appointment, I was not seen until 520. There are only two people working at this location. When I was finally spoken to, I provided the young lady a clear understanding of what my vision for my hair and goals where. We had a very deep consultation about what I absolutely did not want to happen and what my goal was to achieve in my hair.I literally showed her the names of the 3 colors I researches online before comingin. What came next was just a very aggressive product push and upsell, that was borderline delinquent. I was told that in order for her to do the color that I wanted I had to add the hair protection product $40 and a extra color lifter $30 that was the only way she could achive the result, and then she T O L D me did not *ask* that the membership she was gonna add to card, cause it made sense to achieve the color that I wanted. After me telling her that I wanted to see the results before committing to a membership Her tone was very dismissive, and she kept telling me that although I use the name brand product that I mentioned to her at home that I did not do not know what I was doing and that I had to do this in order to get the color that I want. I think the reason that they do not have mirrors in front of the workstations is so that you do not see the chaos that is happening with your hair. The final results was the same color that I had on. My hair was just a little glossier, and my roots covered. I voiced my dismay on the waste of time, effort and money and was basically told Well, I told you, you're not gonna get what you want unless you buy the membership and come in every 4 to 6 weeks. To add insult to injury, the young lady that was blow drying my hair kept burning it because the blowdryer was malfunctioning at 1 point I got stuck in the middle of my head. She had to remove the back piece in order to free my hair after me telling her that I was in pain and that it hurt when she asked the 3 times she finally switched Blow dryers, but the damage was already done, I have a small bald spot where she yanked my hair when removing the piece from the blowdryer off. I told her specifically various times during the conversation that I did not like volume in my hair. I wanted it as flat as possible. I left there looking like a brocolis head. The cherry, on the top of all of this was, there was no air conditioner, when it was ninety four degrees outside. I beg you stay away from this location. This is an absolute scam.I wouldn't recommend my worst enemy to get their hair done here BELOW THE RESPONSE FROM LAUREN WHOM I BELIEVE, HAS IT SET UP SO THAT YOU CANNOT REPLY TO HER EMAILS. SO THAT AT LEAST SHE SAYS SHE ATTEMPTED TO REACH OUT TO SOMEBODY. I EVEN LEFT HER A MESSAGE THROUGH THE CONTACT CENTER CAUSE YOU CAN NEVER GET THROUGH THEIR AI SYSTEM CALLED MADDIE.

In…read moreaddition, I'm used to the bargain salons that offer a quick cut at an equally quick price...so stepping into Pure Energy was a real treat. And let me tell you, Pure Energy has really set the bar high. I never understood how getting services done at a salon could be self care, as opposed to just maintenance, but now I know. First of all, the salon is gorgeous. This location is new (the salon relocated about a year ago), and everything looks clean, fresh, and modern. The whole vibe of the place - from the black pleather chairs, floor length mirrors, to the sink area, and even the Aveda merchandise - all exude luxury. If you want to feel like you're getting the spa experience while getting hair services, this salon is definitely for you. The stylists and employees are also wonderful. You can tell that they truly care for their customers. While I was there, I could tell that some clients had established relationships with the stylists just by how they were chit-chatting - and for those that didn't have such a relationship, those clients were still treated with respect and warmth. (I was there for a color service, so I was sitting quite awhile, and able to observe the genuine interactions!) I also had the pleasure of meeting the owner, Jen. She truly believes in her business, and her passion can be seen even as she is walking around her salon. Mario and Amanda took great care of me while I was there. It's going to be tough to go back to bargain salons after experience the true wonders of a luxury salon such as Pure Energy. If you want to treat yourself, don't hesitate to come here. And, on top of it all, I am absolutely in love with my hair!

I am so glad I took the risk because now this is the only hair salon I will go to for cuts and color because of the amazing Tom! I have not dyed my hair in over 16 years and wanted a change and I knew Tom was the person that could touch my virgin hair, haha! He's been giving me amazing cuts and I was very confident he would deliver and would know exactly what would look good on me. I did a partial balayage back in July (starting out small since it's been a while) and have been getting glazes every 7-8 weeks. My hair has never felt healthier. I used to be one of those gals that would wait forever to get a haircut and have tons of split ends. Ever since Tom - I've been visiting on a routinely basis with trims and glazes and I love the way my hair feels. I trust Tom completely with my hair and now during every visit I will just ask him what he thinks would look good and go with that :) Whenever I have a special event, he'll make sure he dolls me up. He's amazing, he's the curl and color expert! Salon is pretty spacious, clean and can get very busy on the weekends - you definitely need to schedule an appointment. Staff is super friendly and always making sure to take care of you whether it be getting you coffee or other beverages. Highly recommend!
