Can't thank the receptionist enough for taking my call for accommodating me last minute coming from Florida and having a number one clean experience number to socially distant and number three talented awesome stylist. My girl although young had been with this company for many years and took the time out of her busy day to wait for me to come stay the extra couple hours to finish even though they were closed just so that I could be accommodated and walk out perfect. Mariah Kay you are an asset on every level to this company congrats on doing what you love and allowing the customer to feel the same thing read more

The salon is very nice as are all of the staff. I had a friend that went for a wash & blow dry when she came back I asked did she get her hair done. She did. It looked horrible. How sad to spend the time, energy and money to look like you never had your hair done at all. I think some of the staff need continuing education. read more

Fusion Salon Avalon - Hair Salons Near Me - Avalon, New Jersey

I am extremely disappointed in this salon. The salon overbooked with another wedding and multiple regular appointments and had to shuffle our times around. I was not seated for hair until at least 20 minutes after my scheduled time and once it was done there was no time left to do my makeup. Mariah apologized for not having enough time, as it was already past the time we were expected to leave the salon. She then said that she speak with the manager about getting us a refund for makeup since I was not canceling, but there was not enough time due to the delayed start. We then left feeling reassured that it was all taken care of. However, when we called to check on the refund we were informed there would not be one as we canceled the service without notice. We did NOT cancel the service as we went in expecting to do both hair and makeup, it is the job of the stylist and the salon to ensure that everything is organized and times are set to ensure that everything is completed on time. We arrived on time, however the salon did not start the appointment on time. It is poor customer service. The owner called back eventually and just kept repeating the contract regarding canceling, but would not take any responsibility for the stylist or the late start. After much arguing the owner said that they "might" issue a gift card to the Bride for the missing service, but no refund and then proceeded to hang up. It was extremely rude and disrespectful. read more

Huge disappointment! I got my hair done here last January by Cecelia and I showed her a picture of what I wanted, which was a plum colored highlight and what I received was fire engine red in my hair. Not only did I get bright red hair but my previous highlights which were a copper color weren't all covered. So I got bright red and existing copper highlights. Totally not what I asked for. I did call and came back in for it to be corrected but they couldn't get all the red out due to how bright stylist had made it. From two days worth of processing of color on my hair, the end result was my hair being chemically fried and in terrible shape. I had heard so many good things about Fusion and all I can say is I was completely disappointed. read more

Fusion Salon Avalon - What I asked for (left) what and what I got (on the right) - Hair Salons Near Me - Avalon, New Jersey

I love going to Fusion Salon Avalon. They make me feel like I'm family. The staff is very friendly and always attentive to what I need. You could be having a bad day but after you leave you feel like a million bucks. They do excellent work. I highly recommend them and will continue to use them as my hair salon. read more

My sister booked day-of-wedding hair and makeup for herself, my mom and me. She had also booked a trial for me, but I later cancelled it because I just couldn't justify the extra cost of doing the standard natural/elegant bridal looks that I wanted, I don't have a lot of hair (so complicated updo was not required) and I'm just easy-going about makeup and hair. Knowing this salon specializes in bridal, I expected them to be able to professionally execute a standard bridal look (I brought picture examples) without a trial. Courtney Riebel did my hair and makeup and she was wonderful. She listened to everything I requested, made small adjustments as necessary, and most importantly, made me look and feel like a million bucks for my wedding day with a look for both that lasted through a long and humid summer day. One star docked for quality for part of my sister's updo falling apart as soon as we got home. The only (really) annoying thing was at the end when the receptionist charged an extra $20 for lashes we didn't buy and pushed a product credit instead of correcting her mistake and charging the right amount (she tried to claim it would be too difficult to re-ring. After spending about $550 for services and tips, this was an unprofessional way to be thanked for our business and sent on our way. They later sent her a check, but I docked a star for flexibility. With Courtney, you are definitely in solid hands for getting your hair and makeup done for your special day at Fusion in Avalon. read more

Came to Fusion Hair Salon on the recommendation from a friend. I had gone to another salon to have my dark brown hair dyed blonde. The stylist there didn't handle my hair properly and it came out gingered colored! Thank God for Jessica at Fusion!! She was able to add more highlights and tone down the orange/brassy color to get me to the color I wanted! So happy with my color correction and will be a loyal client with Jessica from here on out. read more

Terrible. Both my friend and I have gone here and walked out with uneven haircuts. Not only are they incapable of following pictures, they left me with split ends and long pieces sticking out. One side of my haircut was an inch longer than the other. They did refund my money, but gave me somewhat of a hard time because I refused to come back in and let them fix what they had done. I had to go to a different salon the next day to get the haircut I wanted--it was that badly cut. read more

I was a bridesmaid in a wedding this weekend and was expecting to come out of this salon looking great, what I got was bad hair and worst makeup. The bride booked the 5 of us for hair and makeup. When we arrived the receptionist told us our appt was actually 45 later, this was a huge problem for our timeline as each part of the day was planned out especially making sure we had enough time for pictures. Granted the bride might have gotten the time wrong BC planning a wedding is stressful and mistakes happen. I'd be grateful if this was the only problem. The bride and I were the first to have our hair and makeup done. The other bridesmaid stylist were average. The brides stylist was great, flawless makeup and great hair. My stylist Celcilia was NOT. I sat down in her chair and showed her a detailed picture of both hair and makeup trying to be as clear as possible. She did not even bother to brush out my hair before beginning the styling process, just took out a curling iron and started curling random pieces. I kept telling her I wanted a very loose side braid, my hair pulled to the side and pinned with big curls framing one side of my face. What I got was a side ponytail braid with a rubber band and another chunk of hair on the side curled and pinned behind my ear. When I got home my husband even said "what happened to your hair? I thought u went to the salon?" It looked so awful I unpinned and unbraided the whole thing and redid it myself. I could barely re-curl the hair BC the stylist had put some clay product in my hair that left it greasy and heavy. BUT that does not even compare to the makeup job!! I again showed Cecilia a picture of exact eye makeup I wanted, but what she did looked nothing like it. I wanted shimmer eye shadow with a light smoky eye....she gave me matte purple eye shadow with a barely visible eye liner. I brought eye lashes and glue from home to have her apply. Clearly it was her first time doing this BC it took her forever and she used so much glue that u could see the globs, placed them on unevenly, and only in the middle of my eye lid. So the inside corners and the outside corners had my natural shorter eye lashes and the middle had super long lashes. It looked ridiculous. In addition she did not put on any mascara, no bronzer, no powder, no blush NOTHING. Then for lipstick she could not even apply lipstick straight, she left me with uneven lines and chunks of lipstick stuck to my lips. Again I went home and added my own mascara, own eye shadow, more eyeliner to cover the glue chunks on top and re-did my lips. AND I was the first one to be started on and the last one to be finished BC my stylist was so slow. All the other bridesmaids had young hip stylist with much more style and technique. The worst problem is the salon has no problem charging top dollar for crap service. I paid $60 for eye shadow, eye liner and chunky lipstick. That's not a full face of makeup!! Plus automatic $12 mandatory gratuity. I paid $20 for her to apply MY lashes with MY glue I brought from home. Unevenly applied with chunks of glue on my eye lid. What a ripoff!! I paid $85 for hair that I had to completely take apart and redo myself after sitting in a stylist chair for 2.5 hrs. Plus $17 mandatory gratuity. $194 for what exactly? If I wasn't running late for the wedding I would have asked for a new stylist to do it from scratch. Lucky for them we ran out of time BC they had wasted so much of it. Brides and bridal party beware this place is a waste of money with inexperienced stylists!!!!!! read more

Moving to the shore, I had to find a new salon. I loved my previous hair stylist- cut and color were the best so I was very concerned. I searched online looking for a Redken specialist. I came across Fusion Salon and decided to give it a try. The receptionist and owner were very friendly and greeted me warmly. Crystal, who colored and cut my hair, was a pro- confident, friendly and knowledgeable. I left with a wonderful cut, beautiful color and a big smile. I already have my next appointment scheduled and can't wait to go back. read more

I called on Saturday and was able to get an appointment the same day for an eyebrow waxing and chin. I have never been here before. The staff was very nice and pleasant. When she finished waxing my eyebrows she put cream on them and they burned really bad. She told me I was just irritated from the waxing. When I got home and looked in the mirror she had actually burnt my skin. It is 3 days later and it is still very painful. Clearly I will never go back here again! I have never had this happen at any other salon ever. Also it was $30 which is way too expensive for a 15 minute service. read more

We went to Fusion for a Bachelorette party today and had 14 girls getting various services, spent a good amount of money and the front desk lady(red hair) was incredibly rude and abrasive. When we asked about any changes to services, she acted like we were putting her out and then the girls actually doing the services were so nice and so flexible. If it weren't for the lady at the front desk, the experience would have been much more pleasant. She acted the same way on the way out when we were paying, extremely abrupt and unaccommodating. Would be skeptical going here if you're looking for polite service. Note: Everyone else was great! The front desk lady was just a total mood killer for the whole party. We were all in disbelief at the way we were treated. read more

I was in from out of town for a wedding and did not have time to get a haircut prior to our trip. They were able to get me in with Corrine the day of the wedding. She was lovely and so good. She made sure we were on the same page of what I was looking for in a cut, checked in with me during the cut. Would explain what she was doing & why. She also styled it beautifully, again making sure I was okay with 'extra volume' or whether I preferred something else. I felt great & received compliments on my hair at the wedding. I had a great experience & if in town again would definitely return. read more

I went here for the first time last October for a highlight cut and express keratin with Gabby. Returned to her a couple of times following. The last visit was in June for a keratin, highlight, cut, flatiron etc. It was horrible. I texted her and told her how unhappy I was...cut was uneven, minimal highlights, frizzy hair after the keratin. I have the messages saved in my phone. She told me to return so she could "fix" it at no charge. She touched up the highlights, tried to straighten out the cut. By now my hair was so over processed that it felt like glue throughout my hair. It was breaking off so bad that I went to yet another salon to see what if anything could be done. The stylist could not believe the condition of my hair and the price I paid. Fusion is extremely expensive for all their service. I don't mind paying that kind of money and walk out happy. My hair 5 1/2 months later is still not healthy. It's getting better but is nowhere in the condition it was before Fusion. I would never recommend this place to anyone. Worst experience of my life. Glad I saved my pictures and conversation with the stylist. read more

Always a pleasant experience when going to Fusion. Courtney has been highlighting and cutting my hair for years. Atmosphere is inviting and staff is always professional. I highly recommend a visit to Fusion if you are in Avalon! read more

Rude, rude, rude woman at the desk. We walked in to make appts and she treated us like we were stupid. Will NEVER return to a place that has such a vile human greeting customers. read more

Corine and Courtney transformed me from a tired makeup less mess to a glamorous lady with a fabulous up do and makeup that made me look young, fresh and glamorous and NOT OVERDONE.....I wish I could take these two with me wherever I go. And ask about the grapefruit face spray - it smells delicious and really helps freshen your face up. read more

I went to Fusion recently with a group of girlfriends. The salon itself is nice & modern, but it all stops there. Our group was there on time & we waited well over a half hour. There would have been no problem if the staff would have mentioned that all appointments were running 30-90 minutes behind. All the staff kept doing was trying to pump us with mimosas. It really took up an entire afternoon for very poor spa treatments. Most of us had massages, which though the massage therapists were nice, there was no real pressure or attention to detail. Then the nails were a mess, truly my worst manicure ever. The girl doing my nails was clearly not a nail technician. She cut me while cutting my nails, then filed the nails in all different shapes. No real cuticle care was done. When the Nail polish was done, there were no dryers & no where to sit & dry...big waste of $25 for a spa manicure. With better trained staff, this could be a nice day spa. read more

I am very disappointed in this salon. I was a new potential customer, but now I don't think I'll ever go back. I had an hour break today, so I needed to get my hair washed and a simply French braid put in for my long night shift later on. When I called the salon I made sure to ask before I got there how much this would be, as it would be a simple in and out style. I was told, "oh, $20.00, it won't be anymore than that." By the receptionist. Once there, the staff was very nice, and welcoming. But at the end, when I was finished, and ready to pay, I was told $40.00! $40 for a wash and braid! I was shocked. I asked the receptionist, about what I was told by her on her phone. She stated its the stylist job to charge the amount. That she couldn't change it. Needless to say, no I did not tip her! Which I am a phenomenal tipper! $40.00 for a set of pigtails! That's $20 a braid!! Her tip was $20! I'm just shocked and disgusted at their charging policy. Apparently styles are charged based off of how the stylist is feeling or Whois sitting in her chair at that point in time. Just crazy. read more
