I came BACK to Craft Hair Studio after 8 years (I had gone to a different salon nearby, much to my regret and continuous disappointment - see pic of me in blue) . The stylists at Craft carefully and professionally got me back to the place where I LOVE my hair (see pic of me in pink). I should have come back sooner! Trust me, ladies, it's not worth skimping on services if you are going to be unhappy with what you see in the mirror. read more

Brooke is the best! I am so happy I came back to her for my hair cuts and balayage. The salon is beautiful and everyone is so nice. I can not say enough about how happy I am with my hair now. My daughter gets her red hair highlighted by Katelyn and it is the first time she is thrilled with how it looks. Thank you Craft! read more

My hair is in very poor shape- fried and broken in some areas following a smoothing and straightening treatment - it did not smooth my hair at all read more

I have been going to Craft Hair Studio for quite a while. Frank and Brooke the owners and their staff treat their customers beautifully. Friendly staff as soon as you arrive. Mia does my cut and color. She is patient with me on questions about my hair and what I want. She does a Fabulous job. I highly recommend this place. read more

I posted an unfavorable review of Craft hair studio because my daughter was charged $120 for an inch being cut straight across the back of her long hair. The owner, Frank, replied to my complaint with a sarcastic "happy new year" message and then messaged me, accusing me of "having mental issues". I have never met Frank. I merely complained about an issue I had with his salon and stylist This is the kind of person he is. Definitely not the type of salon I would ever go back to. Had I known, I would've never went in the first place. There are millions of people with mental health issues, it's not something that should be diagnosed as an insult, especially when you have no idea who the person is. Do better Frank. read more

I am so happy with my hair color and cut. Frank convinced me to stop cutting it and grow it longer. He shapes it and frames my face. i love the color. My hair color is perfect now, not too blonde and the condition is super healthy! Mia styles my hair on occasion and is also amazing! I love the staff and atmosphere. Thank you Frank and Brooke for Craft Hair Studio! read more

I've been coming here awhile but lately the color doesn't seem to be covering my roots. I've mentioned it to the stylists that my grays are more resistant, but they insist the dye only takes 35 minutes to process. I had it colored just before a family wedding and then again for the holidays. My roots show in the pictures that were taken at these events. I'm so disappointed. $90 plus tip for just the roots. read more

Craft Hair Studio - Roots after single process - Hair Salons Near Me - Bernardsville, New Jersey

There are so very many fabulous Hair Slons to choose from in the Bernardsville area and I highly suggest choosing one of those. From a design standpoint Craft Hair Studio is lovely. The staff is very talented, professional and there is always a warm welcome upon arrival. After several successful blow outs I took the leap and decided to go for the color and not travel far and wide for this service. I was a bit nervous as the color specialist was whispering with her colleagues about what combination of revlon colours to mix. They were side glancing at me and discussing and it was slightly uncomfortable. I decided to engage with them and asked what was happening and if she had done colour before and for how long. She said yes all of the time and I was good with that. No more questions, back to my computer. Later I was told it is very common to ask team members for suggestions and everyone does it. My thought was if that's the case why didnt anyone making suggestions come over and look at my roots. Jumping to the chase--- The very talented stylist having previously given me fantastic blow. drys....coloured my hair with a skunk stripe outcome. This was somewhat of a surprise and first time for me. I explained I was not happy with the darker stripe and she suggested she did not think it looked THAT bad. Not the outcome one looks for when leaving a hair salon. I simply asked if she would be comfortable if it was her hair....no response. Please know I get it, mistakes happen and that is ok!! After a few minutes digesting this new look I was willing to come to terms with a plan to resurrect this outcome. However the volatile owner or co owner made a scene suggesting I wanted free service. He then suggested it would look better after 4 or five days when it oxidised. He also asked me why I did not have it pulled through to blend and I said I didnt know to ask for this. Clearly he acknowledged there was a problem with the outcome only his way of dealing with it was to humiliate me and suggest I was looking for a handout. I do appreciate he was willing to protect and back his staff however I question if it should be at the expense of demoralising and humiliating a client. He was telling me to leave and waving me to the front door. He is twice my size and it was some what frightening having a grown man, in a very high pitch aggressive tone telling me to leave and waving his hand towards the exit. I hastily grabbed my laptop however my cell phone was left on the chair. I left a tip for the service but was not allowed to pay for the service as it was suggested I came in looking for this. ABSURD! Realising I left my cell phone I was hesitant to re enter the salon to retrieve it as he was quite volatile. I did peek in and he was out of sight so I asked at reception if someone could grab it. I am an older woman and here I am peeking in the window to make certain it is safe for me to enter. This is a small community and I typically choose to patronise and shop locally however I will by all means NEVER return to Craft Hair Studio. I am one person and my patronage will not impact this business and that is why I was treated so poorly. People or I go to a salon to feel good and leave feeling even better than upon arrival.....I left with my heart racing. I went to another salon already and my hair colour will be easy to repair...... there is almost always a simple solution. Thank you YELP for giving me a forum to share my experience. read more

I have been coming to CRAFT for a few years now and absolutely LOVE my stylist Steph Rentas. She listens to what I want and I walk out of there every time feeling beautiful. From the front desk staff, stylists, to the assistants everyone is friendly and kind and they are more then accommodating to your schedule. read more

I've been going to Craft w my mom for a little under 2 years and they are INCREDIBLE. I've never left unhappy. I have very thick, curly, unruly hair so it can be very hard to maintain but going here has absolutely saved my hair! I generally go to Nicole who is an amazing stylist-- always listens to me and makes sure I leave smiling. My mom goes to Kris who also Does a beautiful job and makes sure my mom's cut and color looks good. Due to the pandemic they were all booked up so earlier today I went to Stephanie-- it was my first time with her but, again, she did a spectacular job (I'm so happy with the cut!!!) and was super friendly. Staff did a great job of social distancing and keeping the salon safe. Everyone was wearing masks, all customers were social distancing, and they had plastic covers over all the chairs that they replaced for each person + hand sanitizer for when you enter and leave. Also plexiglass between each chair when washing and cutting and at reception. They charge 5$ extra but well worth it! I recommend the salon to everyone who can afford it, staff is always friendly and very skilled. You won't be disappointed!! read more

My hair and makeup for my wedding was done at Craft Hair Studio. I'm from out of town so I had to do my trial 2 days before my wedding. Nicole and Amanda are artists. I gave them some thoughts I had and they created art on my head. Nicole took my vague descriptions and made my hair beautiful. Amanda made me look soft and romantic. My hair and makeup stayed in place all night and was very comfortable to wear. They were awesome to work with at every turn. Thank you, ladies!! read more

Can it be? Am i writing the first Yelp review for Craft? It is my pleasure. I followed Brooke here from the previous salon in Morris Plains, after spending about 7 years with her there. It took me so many years to find someone that cut/ colored, painted and styled my hair exactly how i wanted. She and Frank took a big leap to bring this to life and I am so happy that they did. The salon is absolutely gorgeous, it has kept the understated, upscale feel of B-ville on the outside but when you walk inside it is glorious. The metallic tones are sleek and it is beautifully done. The espresso/ cappuccino is exactly what you want when you sit down on a cool fall day, or if you are feeling exceptionally special - go for a glass of wine or sparkling water. You are made to feel like the only client in the salon and you leave the salon feeling like a million dollars. I have received compliments on my hair for years and that is why i wouldn't dream of going anywhere else. I take as much pride in my hair as my stylist does in her work. Give them a shot while you can still get in the door, but lets keep this our secret because i don't want to be on the waiting list. read more

Well I don't usually leave one star reviews but where to start with this place. WAY overpriced, rude service, and a terrible haircut. Hopefully it doesn't survive quarantine. read more

Craft Hair Studio is the absolute BEST! I've been going here since they first opened and I will always be a loyal customer. The owner is incredibly skilled, nice person, and his staff is incredibly skilled and nice as well. I've gotten haircuts from both Frank and Kris, and I've always left feeling beautiful and - more importantly - the cuts are still beautiful weeks later and grow out perfectly. In 2019 I got engaged, and similar to many brides had my ceremony in 2020 and reception in 2021. I used Craft for both my ceremony and reception - wanting to use them for hair and makeup was never even a question - and I could not have been happier with the outcome both times. My entire bridal party was incredibly happy with their hair and makeup as well! To sum it up - if you want an amazing haircut by very talented (and nice) people then look no further. read more

I have been looking for a good stylist since I moved to NJ almost a year back & now my search has ended. I decided to try this place after reading good reviews & I couldn't be happier. I had appointment with Stephanie for color & cut. When I reached there- I was greeted right away. I loved the decor - Very elegant. I discussed with Stephanie what i was thinking & she gave me her suggestions. Had my color & hair cut. I was happy with my cut & she suggested one product to try also. BUT REAL JOY was when i came home & my husband said- you look amazing... My co-workers asked me where I got my cut & I received lots of compliments.. I am so thankful that I have found this place. Extremely talented & passionate people with exceptional service. A big shout out to owner Frank for running this salon... I will definitely be back:)) read more

My first time at this salon but it was a very good experience . I will be back soon for my color and cut

I've had balayage done by Caitlyn 3 times since December -- each time going lighter. I'm very happy with the color and health of my hair. She does a great job and I'll continue going back. read more

Had an excellent experience at this salon. Dominique was my stylist and I 12/10 recommend an appointment with her. She paid very close attention to what I wanted and spent time examining my hair to achieve the best results. She was very personable and took her time on my hair truly showing that she cared. Overall the salon was neat and everyone was welcoming. I am definitely going back read more

They did an awesome job coloring my hair. The hair cut not so much. I scheduled an appointment with a lady I found on Instagram and her hair cuts looked so pretty. But when it came to cut my hair it felt super rushed. Which I get Bc she was very busy. But When I got home I noticed my bangs were super uneven, very layered and botchy on the side my hair was parted. Not blended in at all. She also cut very very short layers all over my hair I'm guessing to blend the bangs in but they look like randomly cut pieces. I'm very disappointed considering I paid 380+ a tip. For a balayage and a haircut that's super uneven and doesn't fit my hair type at all. I'm only leaving this review Bc I'm extremely disappointed that I paid that much money for a botched hair cut when clearly on the lady Instagram shows she does beautiful hair cuts. i told the lady that someone botched my bangs previously and I grew them out to get them fixed and to leave them long and blended but the shape of "the Bridget Bardot bangs" And I came out of the salon with a hair cut I already had that I grew out to get it fixed. read more

I have gotten my hair colored several times by one stylist and every time is worse than the previous. this last time I told her I wanted the same as the time before and in the end it was a dull dirty blonde rather than the bright blonde I had been when I walked in. Also the girl who washed my hair did a half-assed job and did not fully rinse out the toner. I had also scheduled a blow dry but the same girl who shampooed my hair partly dried my hair with no styling whatsoever. I left feeling miserable. I will not be returning. read more

I've been getting my hair cut here for a year now. Both Nicole and Stephanie have cut my hair and they have both done a great job! I used to go to morristown for haircuts but if you live in the area, this is a great spot. Not necessarily cheap, but they do an awesome job and salon is super clean and nice inside! Definitely recommend. read more

Extremely disappointing. I scheduled a cut and blowout, which I've gotten from different higher end hair salons for $45, this was $80. My hair was not blown out fully and I've attached pictures of the results. If I'm going to pay 80 dollars, I feel like you should receive a much higher quality blowout and at least fully dry my hair. read more

Have been going to Kris for many years and highly recommend her and the salon to all of my friends. Couldn't be happier with the cut and color that I get every single time. I know this salon cares deeply about the surrounding community and it is such as asset to have a salon of this caliber in bernardsville. It is a beautiful space, very clean and the staff couldn't be more professional and helpful. Thank you! read more

Craft Hair Studio - Hair Salons Near Me - Bernardsville, New Jersey

This place is truly awesome. We had a situation where we needed 3 blowouts for my wife and 2 daughters at 845 on Monday for a portrait and they opened early. Billy and Frank are amazing and the other members of the team are so nice. My daughters and wife were so impressed by the staff, cleanliness and aesthetics of the salon. read more

Billy give the best cut I've ever gotten. His cuts grow out to look even better by the day and he has an artistic hand when it comes to hair! He gives a haircut of a high caliber which is important for me, as I work in the film/TV industry. I always leave more than satisfied, and I plan to return for as long as I'm in NY! Plus, the complimentary coffee is a major bonus read more

I had followed caitlin from her last hair salon to craft and I couldn't be happier! Everyone in the salon is so nice, and super helpful. Caitlin does amazing color. I had jet black hair only a few appointments before this picture and caitlin healthily took my hair to the color I always wanted! I couldn't be happier and I can't wait until my next appointment! read more

Beautifully decorated salon in the heart of Bernardsville. The shampoo and head massage were delightful and the staff was very friendly. The hair dryers hang from the ceiling which is a fun thing I had never seen before. The blow out looked good and lasted the night. All in all it was a lovely experience for a good price. read more

Stephanie does my hair and I always leave with the best hair cut, color, and blow dry. I have very curly hair and it is important that I find a hair stylist that understands to keep the integrity of my hair. She does just that. The salon is very beautiful and all the staff that work there are very nice. read more

I've been looking for a new hairstylist due to the fact that my hairstylist moved and was now over an hour ride from me. After doing some research and reading all the great reviews I decided to make an appointment for a consultation. I was so looking forward to it! The girl on the phone was very friendly so this confirmed my decision. When I walked in the girl behind the desk looked me up and down, no smile, and curtly asked me if she could help me. She then went to get the hairstylist who I had my consult with and they both then looked at me up and down. It was very uncomfortable and weird. The hairstylist came over and introduced herself and told me to sit in a chair that was covered by a towel due to self tanner she says had dropped during the day. She spent about 5 minutes talking with me. The whole experience was very weird, uncomfortable. I felt like I was being judged from the moment I walked in. I made an appointment despite my gut feeling that this was just not the place for me. I left feeling quite disappointed after reading all the wonderful reviews about the great, warm friendly staff. I'll be cancelling my appointment.. I'd rather drive over an hour for a warm, friendly reception and service then what I received in the total of 10 minutes that I was there! read more

This place is simply amazing! Kris had done my hair one other time before she came to Craft and I loved her work, but I wasn't ready to make the switch. She proved herself yet again last night, by adding partial balayage highlights in my hair for some dimension and cutting my hair exactly how I wanted it to be. She is always honest with her client's suggestions and ideas, which is something that's hard to come by these days, and I greatly appreciate. I have now found my forever salon and will recommend Craft to anyone! read more

I have been going here for some years now. The studio itself was designed so nicely with a modern design that keeps your interest while lending a clean organized look and feel. I can't speak highly enough of the team that work hear. If your having a bad day the owner lets his adorable puppy Remy snooze in your lap and snuggle all your problems away. Kaitlyn has been painting and cutting my hair and I just adore her. She works with me as I try new things and always helps steer me in a direction to something that will flatter my aging face frame. Lastly, they all speak very highly of one another. There is no gossip or drama. I always feel like a million bucks and 10lbs lighter after spending time in this hair studio. read more

I followed Brooke to her beautiful new shop from Morris Plains and basically bcuz the is NOONE else I will let touch my golden locks. Lol Brooke is the best colorist in NJ. Not the cheapest, I said the best. Brooke listens to u and does whatever u need to get the result u r looking for. She doesn't get offended if u rnt thrilled with ur hair, she will just fix it till u r happy. Which isn't always the case with some Diva hairdressers that forget that the customer comes first. The space is beautiful and bonus...there is always chocolate in a bowl out... read more

Awesome place, first class treatment immediately when you walk in, the salon is clean, the air smells like a fresh espresso, which they gladly will get you, everyone is very friendly. Billy is our stylist he is amazing great job of cutting teenagers hair and getting the sharp crisp modern look. And awesome job of styling up Dad as well. read more

I came here for a color correction, I have natural jet black hair, it was a dyed orangey/peachy color when I got there and I wanted to go blonde. I got Stephanie, and she was very good and I was so happy with the results. I've since visited for my hair done for a wedding I was attending as well as another root update appt. all with Stephanie. I thought the price for the hair ($85) was a bit steep as seeing they didn't do much to my hair, just curled it. The hair colors is expensive too but I think it's worth it. Stephanie is great! read more

As a long time fan of Frank's expertly done haircuts, I decided some months ago to go to his wife, Brooke for color. I couldn't be happier! This Dynamic Duo does excellent work and like today, I always leave with a smile in my face! And the rest of the staff is warm, welcoming and friendly! Great job Brooke and Frank! read more

Great experience! Didn't quite know what to expect, but very happy with both my cut (Billy) and color (Stephanie). Salon is beautiful and clean, though my one piece of feedback is the hair wash stations could use a little bit more neck support/padding. Everyone was very friendly and welcoming. Will definitely be back! read more

This is my first ever yelp review and it is because Craft is amazing! After too many bleaches my hair was beyond fried and in need of serious help. I called and they were willing to fit me in that same day. I had Steph and she is absolutely amazing, highly recommended! She helped me get back to my natural brown color and my hair has never felt healthier. This place is so deserving of every great review on here! Thank you! read more

Craft Hair Studio - Hair Salons Near Me - Bernardsville, New Jersey

Craft Hair Studio provides the best hair cuts and color in New Jersey thanks to their outstanding staff! While living in the city I commute to bernardsville to have my hair done by Billy, I highly recommend him. He adds texture and volume to my hair that can be heavy, frizzy, and unruly. I have also used him for Updos for multiple weddings and I am always pleased and impressed by what he can do with my hard to tame hair. Additionally, the entire staff makes you feel welcome and clearly love what they do. read more

Updated Review: I was promptly contacted after submitting my first review and was able to come in the next day to correct my hair. The owner was hospitable and explained the technique that the previous stylist used and why my vision was not realized. I received a much better education with my desired hair color, and was meticulously worked to an impressive end result. I appreciate the hard work they put into getting a satisfied client. Frank's work is amazing, and the salon itself is beautiful and well kept. 2 of my family members received haircuts here and were thrilled with the results. Another family member received a purple highlights and was also thrilled with the results. I always had great confidence in choosing this salon based on the reviews and pictures, and I'm glad I was proved right in the end. . . . I asked for ombré and the sr stylist didn't achieve anything remotely resembling ombré. Was asked, "do you want a blow dry" when it was 20 degrees outside and there was no one available to blow dry my hair anyway so I had to do it myself while sitting directly next to the owner. Is it weird to want to see what your hair looks like after you spend $175 on a balayage? Service felt abrasive from everyone involved after I expressed my disappointment. read more
