Terrible service. I booked an appointment for a balayage, hair cut and blow out. Looks like they over booked because the owner took several clients while trying to work on my hair and made me wait. The color was completely different than what I wanted and when I was displeased he became very defensive. He didn't even have time for a cut but it was not like I wanted to spend any more time there. Paid $182 just to go to another salon the next day to have it fixed. The person who fixed my hair was so confused and told me that what I got was not a balayage and that the application was very messy and unprofessional. Will not be coming back here to waste my time, money and health of my hair. Take a look at what I got vs what I wanted read more

I moved to Metuchen a few months ago and needed to find a new salon. I decided to try George's Salon because of the decent reviews and reasonable pricing. George was fantastic! I have postpartum hair and was a little nervous to try color with someone new. George spent a lot of time talking with me and understanding what I was looking to do. He provided his recommendations, took time to listen and did not try to upsell me into something that wouldn't be good for my hair. He was a breath of fresh air! I am so happy with the outcome. The color was perfect and the haircut was great too. I believe I will stay with George for as long as I live here! read more

I am cli oh George for 10 years. Always happy and satisfied when I leave. He is very professional and talented hairstylist. So happy to be his client. Azy read more

Got a balayage a while back, and you couldn't even see it. I even told her like what's up with this nonexistent color, I asked for a balayage and she said this is a balayage. This would've been my third, and I can assure you this ain't one. Long story short wasted $100, was very upset, and won't be coming back. read more

I love George salon I have been going their for over 12 years George is great professional right on time Salon is nice decorated clean Highly recommand read more

Approved. $20 men's haircut. Appointment recommended, but I got an appointment the same night I called. The guy was really nice. Chatty, but not overly chatty. The goldilocks of chattiness. I think my hair style looks great! I don't need anything too crazy, just a shampoo and cut. He gave me a holiday chocolate gift bag thing! That's a class act right there. Nom-nom-ing it now. read more

George's Salon is a bright, clean and friendly salon. George, the owner, has been there about 12 years, and is a very welcoming business owner and active member of the Metuchen community. Suky, my hairdresser, is an excellent stylist and colorist. She worked in NYC salons for 15 years before heading out to the NJ suburbs. She brought her expertise with her and remains current in her haircutting, styling and coloring. Suky is professional, friendly and listens to what her clients prefer, always delivering a picture-worthy finished product! Suky is the best! read more

I love randomly finding a place that turns out a great product at an even better price. This morning I was rushing around looking for a haircut due to the fact that my usual place has nutty hours and doesn't seem to post any real set of business hours anywhere (not even on their door)! Alas I was distraught looking in the mirror at my mop top dreading my business meeting later in the day. I hit up yelp to see if it could solve my troubles and in a matter of minutes I find myself down the street at George's Salon. I was a walk-in so I feared I would be waiting for awhile. To my surprise I entered the door was greeted by George himself, was offered fresh coffee and an open chair ready to go. Astonished at the service, I was then washed, cut/trimmed, and ready to go in a short period of time. He even offered to trim my eyebrows because they were too long! Hit the register and when he said $20 I was shocked. I thanked him numerous times and was on my way with a great looking haircut. Highly Recommend read more

George gave a good haircut. The pricing is a bit high for the quality of the cut. I've paid 65 dollars 18 years ago with a Regular stylist of mine. But the haircuts were with precision very good cuts. I was not overly excited about my cut at this salon, However I was not totally disappointed either. read more

George's Salon is a warm, welcoming, and peaceful spot where artists create. For years I had heard about George's stellar reputation; however, I had been going to Karen (at Reflections). When Reflections closed, and Karen moved to George's, so did I. Karen is the master creator who has been turning my daughter's hair from mahogany brown to various shades of pink. And she has done so effortlessly. Last week Karen decided to add her unique formula of creativity to my hair. Her process was a magical mixture of listening to my needs and wants, a knowledge that is obviously beyond all her training, and a scanning eye. Last but not least, she filled my hair and heart with love. I am no longer a single-process mom! My highlights have turned a few heads! Karen at George's Salon is another reason to put Metuchen on your map! And George, the owner? He is a gem. read more

I enjoyed my experience at George's salon. I was really satisfied with my haircut. He washed and shampooed my hair which I always like whenever I go to a salon. And then he knew exactly how to cut my hair after I had explained what I wanted. George is a great guy, he's very personable and welcoming when you come to the salon. I was the only one there at the time since it was about to get really cold and stormy that day so I got to talk to George a bit. The place is nice too, very big and open and seems like it would still be comfortable waiting if there's a bunch of people ahead of you. The total cut cost me $25 so I thought that was very reasonable for a nicer salon. I recommend going not only just to get a great haircut but also to be taken care of by a great manager that enjoys being around his customers. I recommend setting up an appointment just in case but I don't think you need to. Thanks George! read more

George is a fantastic colorist and his haircuts are amazing. I get so many compliments on both color and cut and that is the best endorsement I can give ! He is also a great guy, his staff is very friendly and accommodating and his salon is extremely clean and also nicely designed. Thanks George and salon staff for making my experience enjoyable.

I had needed a good haircut and color, but let it go so long because I had been disappointed in recent salons. I read the reviews for George's Salon, and was blown away by all the great reviews. I promptly made an appt. with George, and I was soooooo pleased! George is wonderful, has a very nice manner, is knowledgeable and the whole salon has a relaxing and comfortable vibe. Everyone there is welcoming and I'm definitely going back! Thank you, George :-) read more

After I found out my hair was jagged I went back 3 days later and George told me "this is how you wanted it cut". No, dude. I didn't ask for my hair to be jacked to sh!t read more

If you want a consistent, pleasant experience with no or little wait time, this is the place to go. George is very meticulous and has years of experience giving great haircuts. The staff is very friendly and often offers a cup of coffee when you arrive. It costs a bit more than chains like Supercuts, but you get what you pay for and here you get great results every time. I highly recommend. read more

Danielle was amazing today!! I am also in the hair industry and traveled over an hour to have her highlight my hair! The color and placement are absolutely perfect and the price is very fair!! I highly recommend danielle! read more

Thanks to the two reviewers before me, I found this place pretty quickly when I searched for haircuts in Metuchen. I'd made an appointment for a weekday evening and I was the only person there at 6 PM. So no waiting times. I was offered a hot beverage/water to begin with by the receptionist! George did a great job cutting my hair. Went over everything again with a scissors to make sure there was nothing out of place. Definitely spent more time and care that any other place I've been to. And at $20 bucks for a cut and shampoo, it's priced right. I will definitely go back! read more

If you are looking for an excellent salon experience, go to George. He's been doing my hair for over 6 years now and I've never been disappointed. In fact, my husband, mother and son also go to him, which speaks to George's diverse abilities. I've tried many other salons in Metuchen, and they just don't compare. George listens to what you want and isn't satisfied until you're completely happy with the results. Leah is a sweetheart and an expert at keeping color off of your hairline. His prices are reasonable and the salon itself is spotless and lovely and there's ample parking behind the building. read more

When the salon first opened, I had my hair cut here. It was slow and I thought George did a good job, but since I'm a NY city person, I was too busy to return. Last year, I tried to get an appointment, by walking in to the salon. George was with a client and said he had no openings. This was fine so I left. I called a month later and inquired about an appointment, he had no openings that day which was okay. I completely understand last minute etc... December 2011, I finally made an actual appointment with days in advance notice. When I walked in George was still taking care of a client so he's 10 minutes back logged. Then the client's wife and 2 kids walk in. Another 5 minutes, George was done and had told me to get ready???? I'm sort of stunned, thinking so this is my first visit in about 5 years. He doesn't remember me, but asks me to get ready? He then says to a hairdresser to go and wash my hair so I go on back and I told the female hairdresser if he's busy I would be more than happy for you to cut my hair. She of course said no, you had an appt with him. He'll be ready for you. While she was washing my hair, I see that George is trimming the client's son's hair. I'm a little surprised knowing that my appointment was at 2pm and he's already 15 min behind with me. After she finishes washing my hair I see the client's wife is now in the chair getting her bangs trimmed. This is really unprofessional, just because the client that was sitting in the chair when I walked in has been coming to the salon for some time now. (Overheard this of course.) Finally, George is cutting my hair. Then a woman comes in and asks George are you busy? I need my hair cut, I can't look like this going into NYC. George said yes!!!! to my surprise he tells her to have a seat. Now, I'm pissed because I feel as though he will rush me out. And this is exactly what he did. I addressed this with George by asking him if he feels rush, he of course tells me no. My haircut was awful!!! I am now going to go to another hairdresser to have it fixed. The cut wasn't blended in at all. I have shoulder length hair and I told him, I do not like my long layers to look choppy and that is exactly what he gave me. Never again will I go back. I recommend others to stay away from this salon as well. You will regret it. read more

Stop in on Wednesday for a haircut and was told that owner was away till Friday and to come back then. I will not be going back there again.

It took 10 years of wasting my time with the box store haircut places before I found my go to. I was tired of the inconsistent haircuts and never having the same stylist. Fellas - don't let the "Salon" name fool you, George is an artisan of men's hair-styling, really put's care into each session. Great staff, easy going and budget friendly. read more

George's salon is a good place to get your hair done. I've been seeing George for a long time, way before he even opened his own salon, when he used to work in Jersey city, He's very sweet and does good work. His wife Christine is a sweetheart as well. read more

Solid men's cut! Agree with one of the reviews where I think Men tend to shy away from a "salon "(at least my generation ) but don't! Today I went to george for the first time. Awesome service. Great atmosphere and George himself is a great guy. His staff is super courteous. I normally get a tight fade on the side and keep it long on top and not many people get this right or understand it and George hooked it up! Though he's a professional stylist and salon owner the man can cut hair like you would get at any corner barber shop known for their fades, brooks, etc. well blended fade with clippers and scissors and kept the top in a way where it was definitely shorter but had that voluminous look. Our conversation was awesome (futbol fans will be lucky) and though I may not look or play like a footballer, George damn sure made my hair look like a footballers! . My go to spot when back home in Jersey! read more

This place is a hidden gem. George is meticulous and makes sure every strand is perfect. And he doesn't keep you waiting. Place is very clean and a professional environment. I got highlights done and it's the best job I've had done. Would highly recommend to anyone. read more

This is the third time I have been to George's and he gives me a consistent haircut every time. He is friendly and has good advice on keeping my hair in good condition. He takes his time with the haircut and that's why it is always very good. The price is reasonable. The parking is behind the salon and there is plenty of it. read more

This review is long over due but better now than never.. I did my hair with George for my wedding and it was an absolute disaster. I went to him for a trial few months before and he really didn't do anything he just picked up a few strings of hair and saw pix of what I wanted and he said ok I know what you want.. I was stupid not to try anyone else since he didn't do a real trial but anyways my wedding day comes, I am few minutes backed up because my makeup artist was a little late and George was so rude to me. He kept on complaining and huffing and puffing telling me how he as a party to go to... Well I'm sorry that it's my wedding day and you are charging me $350 to do my hair, cant you just not stress me out. Anyways I gave him 10 pix of how I wanted my hair to look in all different angles, but let me tell you that my hair did not even come out close to what I wanted. He was rushing me on my wedding day I was so pissed off and wanted to just cry. Of course I said this is nothing like what I wanted but then he started giving me an attitude and throwing pins Around like I inconvenienced him. End if story my hair was not hideous but it was nothing like I wanted or payed for and he was not one bit apologetic. He's very arrogant and thinks he's wayyyy better than he really is. Warning!!! If you're a bride please save huge amount of money and go somewhere else!!! read more
