Ever watch that movie Steel Magnolias? Where everyone knows everyone in town and they all go to get their hair done and gossip and feel... good? Yeah, this is Bayonne's version. In the 3 hours I was there politics were discussed, high school teachers sighed in relief that summer school had ended, sisters translated for each other, husbands held onto children while moms got a needed break, and people smiled. I purchased the most expensive groupon available because I wanted blue. I really wanted an ombre in blue, but 3 months of debating and searching and reading reviews meant I missed out on ombre groupons. Probably just as well. So I called Elena, told her what I wanted, she explained that the groupon was only for highlights and cut and blow-out. Oh. I made the appointment anyway. I figured that I would work it out one way or another and began searching pinterest for blue highlights. Yeah, that would work. Toniann was my stylist. She's a little fireball. I explain what I want, show her some pics from the web and off we go. Now I will state that my groupon did not cover all of what I wanted and I was cool with that. Toniann explained what all the charges would be BEFORE we did step one. There were no surprises at the end. My hair is subtle. Honestly, you really can't tell it's blue unless I'm in the sun. Is that a bad thing? No, I do at least *try* to look professional - it's hard for a biologist, though. I've had some health issues this year, so my hair has really suffered. Toniann noticed immediately, made sure that we worked on getting it back to healthy, and made me feel just a little bit better. No, they didn't offer me champagne and strawberries. They did offer me water, tea or coffee. Look, if you are one of the "beautiful people" who feels that your salon is a reflection of your status - don't go here. We don't need you to look down on the rest of us. If, however, you want to look and feel good, support a local business, and like being part of the community you couldn't ask for a better place. Thank you. read more

Been a client for almost twenty years.....Maria is my stylist. I used to work just a few doors from the Hair Cutting Plus, and I am retired two years now, and am happy to drive into Bayonne to get my hair cuts (always had a fondness for Bayonne, poor parking and all). They have a very skilled staff and extraordinarily reasonable prices. I ALWAYS get compliments. read more

Great haircut! Best ladies! I got roots too. Thank you!! I was out of town and found them nearby.

I received the worst haircut of my life at hair cutting plus. I came in with hair past my waist and now it is above my chest. I asked for ping layers and now I have a choppy shoulder length haircut. I am so upset. read more

I came to Hair Cutting Plus for a balayage with Antoinette and within minutes I was already recommending her to friends. She explains every step and every product to you so you know what's happening with your hair. She wants to make sure it not only looks great but is healthy! read more

I recently bought a groupon for this hair salon , it included cut, wash and style. My experience was amazing, Maria was my stylist and she was very professional, knowledgeable and accommodating! I will def be back. I love my new hairstyle! read more

Hair Cutting Plus - My hair was very long prior, now it's in sultry mid layers ! So manageable.. Love it - Hair Salons Near Me - Bayonne, New Jersey

Toni at Hair Cutting Plus does a great job coloring my hair! I initially came here to get balayage highlights, and Toni was very honest with me about how the color would take to my hair (not favorably). We spent 2 hours experimenting on a tiny piece, and as she suspected it did not produce a pretty color. Fortunately we decided to do a single process color which came out beautifully. Toni gave me a ton of options to eventually achieve the highlights I want! I am thankful to her for her honesty -- and trust her with my hair completely! Would recommend! read more

Maria did a phenomenal job. I have been looking for a hairstylist for over two years who can execute a pixie hair cut without butchering my daughter's first-time experience. Maria's professional demeanor allowed me to place my trust in her. Maria asked for my opinion did not take it upon herself to finalize the haircut without inquiring with a nervous mom, which meant a lot to me. She allowed me to participate in a modern haircut that's completely new to me. I took her professional advice before my own opinion, Maria slayed it! My daughter's wish came to fruition. My first timer is elated so am I. Maria we will be seeing you again for sure. read more

Very horrible experie lieprf a haircut and color.LLaughing and giggling while she's cutting my hair

When I moved back to Bayonne, One of my first objectives was Find a stylist/colorist. i walked a couple of blocks and found "The One". When i arrived for my appt I was greeted by "E" at the front desk and within 5min was like we've known each other for years! The rest of the staff is also fun and friendly. Carlene is a smart business woman. She keeps it fresh with promos and new services while a lot of places get stuck where they peak. Thank you for Color To Go during the lockdown! My stylist/therapist/life coach Amanda is awesome. She's great with color and stays current with all methods and hair trends. She listens, tells me straight out if she thinks something is a bad idea, explains why and makes great suggestions without pushing. I know she wont let me leave unless im in love with MY NEW HAIR. HCP offers a great range of services and the Medi Spa upstairs is super-convenient, if you're into that sort of thing (wink-wink). Cant wait to get back. When COVID restrictions are over I'll fight anyone for Amanda's 1st available appt!! She has her work cut out for her. LOL Amanda I should have listened when you said cutting my own hair = Bad idea. read more

I'll start this out on an up note, the salon was clean, partitioned, all staff wore masks and were vigilant about keeping things sanitized. All downhill from here. My appt was late afternoon, I got there, checked in and was told it'll be a few minutes. I said ok and was waiting in the hall. It was then, I saw I got a call from the salon. (When I drive, my phone automatically goes to do not disturb.) I listened to the message and the gist; they were busy/overbooked, so my appt got pushed back 45 min. Great...! Long to short, there's a lot on my plate, being away for long spots of time, is difficult to say the least. Forty minutes pass, it's my turn. I go to get my hair washed, the sinks were separated by plexi-glass for safety. I was sitting there for about 5 min, another stylist asked if I minded moving, she needed the sink. She moved me to a seat, covered in plastic. (So no one sits there, social distancing?!?) I'm seated Right Next, to a young lady. Everyone was wearing a mask, I sat more on the edge of the seat and kept my head turn away. I was angry as heck. I wanted to get up and walk out, but didn't. I should have.... Sat in the stylist seat. I started to relax a bit, the stylist seemed calm, pleasant and confident. I said; get rid of the dead ends, layers all around. He goes, oh ok, so just a clean up. My back was toward the mirror the whole time. Not once, was I face a mirror. (??) Mid way, I re-affirm by saying, don't be afraid to do med layers. In the end; I GET A BLOW OFF CUT!! {The cut given to people, when the salon staff would rather not be bothered.} My hair looks, exactly the same, as when I went in. Just "cleaned up". I can still put it in a full ponytail. Nowhere near, to what I wanted done. "Med layers all around", how do you get, just a clean up/tipping from that?!? I just wanted to leave, asap by this point. 50 bucks later and I was. (It's Christmas, didn't want to be a scrooge, so yup I tipped the stylist.) One of the worst, experiences I've ever had in a salon. NEVER going back.... read more

Awesome service and i needed to add haircut last minute and you were able to accommodate no problem

Was my first time in this salon and I have no disappointments what so ever !Joy was amazing! Took her time in knowing the flow of my hair and didn't rush it at all. Gave me a perfect haircut! Exactly what I asked for and I left the place with a smile on my face. The whole staff was very friendly. I'd definitely recommend my friends and family to go there. read more

My mom and I go here weekly for blow outs with Maria and Monica. They are so accommodating and give amazing blow outsb

Donna was wonderful with my 13 year old who was getting highlights for the first time. She did a beautiful job with my kids super curly hair, and especially with the color! Donna definitely knows what she is doing and is very attentive and nice. Will definitely visit them again! read more

I found my place and I found my soulmate! I am pretty needy when it comes to my hair. I needed someone to understand what haircut I need. And I needed one badly! I have been looking for a good hairstylist for a while. I came across Hair Cutting Plus after reading great reviews I called to make an appointment and based on what I needed the lady told me that she has someone perfect for me and I will be really happy. She paired me up with Joy. After many years of hair adventures I showed up to my appointment a bit nervous but open-minded. The atmosphere there is so laid back and happy! awesome music people talking and laughing. I immediately felt good. And then there she was- Joy fun edgy and badass! She knew what I wanted, she listened, she respected the length I was comfortable with. She gave me a great cut and blow-out. Thanks to her I look amazing! Last week I went back to her for another trim and I look even better. Thank you so much. This place is awesome! Affordable and very pleasant I am sure the other stylist are great too I see them doing a great job. However I will stick with my Joy is amazing, she knows what I like and she is such a joy to work with :) read more

I wanted to color my thick, long, red hair for the first time. I had looked up a lot and wanted something fun but doable. I love my red hair, but I wanted a change for a bit. I didn't want bleach. I wanted a balayage type color. Since this was my first time and I needed childcare for 2 kids, I went to the salon to speak with a stylist about how long it would take. She said about 3 hours. I should have known she was a bad choice for me as soon as she said I don't have thick hair... I got a babysitter for 4.5 hours. I ended up being at the salon for about 6 hours. Laura bleached my hair, didn't color it like I wanted (I showed pictures and described that I wanted some streaks in addition to the ombre-like color). I'm glad she screwed up, though, because I was able to cut most of that horridness out. The girl who washed my hair was nice but clueless. She kept trying to comb my very thick and now very ruined and bleached hair. The sinks are horribly uncomfortable. And the haircut I got was awful. Maybe this place is good for most people, but if you have thick hair, stay away. Oh, and the color was horrible. I had to go back the next day to get it corrected. And again "it'll take 45 min" turned into 1.5 hours...NEVER AGAIN. read more

It was my first time going to Hair Cutting Plus and it was a nice experience. I had my haircut appointment with Zayda. She was awesome! She was so focus on how I wanted my hair to look. I will go again. read more

I came here for the first time with a groupon. Ali was my stylist- she was very attentive and gave me exactly what I asked for. The overall staff is just overwhelmingly great and fun to be around.

Hair Cutting Plus - Haircut, highlights and blowdry by Ali - Hair Salons Near Me - Bayonne, New Jersey

very disappointing ! this business has been around a long long time in Bayonne. stopped in Monday night because i had an event on Tuesday. just found out about event, needed hair trim Stopped in about 6 o'clock, website says they are open until 7. operators were busy, looked like would be finishing up in 20 minutes. I have short hair, just needed a trim not even to wash hair. the woman who came to meet me and see what i wanted was having her hair combed out. she was not a customer , but an employee. she would not give up he time so i could be serviced. tacky ! obviously they do not nee d the customers nor the money. read more

Just got my hair done here today. When I called to make an appointment just yesterday, the person who answered the phone suggested I come in for a consultation and that way they could book me for the right appointment - I wasn't quite sure what I wanted. I met with Pat, and we came up with a plan, and I actually got an appointment for color, cut and blowout the next morning. I took advantage of their great Groupon special. I will definitely be a returning customer. Pat did an amazing job with my color. It came out exactly how I wanted, even when I couldn't quite articulate what I wanted. She took a few pictures I came in with and picked a color that was somehow a combo of them all. Maria styled my hair beautifully. And the whole environment of the salon was very welcoming, upbeat, and positive. I enjoyed my experience and they got me in and out faster than I had planned on. read more

Carlene is the best! Her staff is the best! The quality of their work is consistently exceptional!! I always have, and always will recommend them to everyone! read more

REVIEWING MARIA NAIL TECHNICIAN: My sister got french gel tips done with Maria, and 2 days later the tips starting coming off! I have never heard or seen of anything like that. Maria only offered a complimentary gel mani, even though she had got tips done, which didn't seem fair to me. In addition, I developed a green fungus on my thumb, because I do not think she sanitizes her stuff. She uses the same file for everyone I believe. For the price she charges, I would not recommend her. Everyone can do nail art nowadays, so it's not worth it to go to her and have a bad experience like ours, after paying a hefty price for the service, which is bad anyways. I would have given zero stars if I could. Worst nail experience of my life. AVOID! read more

This review is for Maria, the salons nail technician. I found Maria about eight months ago and couldn't be happier. My nails are my thing and I could not find one Bayonne nail tech who produced clean work, took pride in their work, extremely knowledgeable on nail art--I can go on--until I found my gem Maria. She hits the nail on the head every single time I sit down with her. Her confidence in her designs and work takes the stress out of choosing what I want. She KNOWS her clients and on top of that is the best therapist money could buy. I get compliments left and right on my nails--her shaping is impeccable and her creativity can't be topped. I give strangers the address and number to Hair Cutting Plus, telling them they need to book with Maria asap. Forget these nail salons that bust you out like an assembly line and give you a half assed service--you NEED to book with Maria!! Xoxo read more

OH SHIT.....where do i start after they fucked my hair up during covid.....3 different colors...really not going to say who did it...it took me 3 different times going to my stylist to fix it. very sloppy. read more

They gave me lice. Save yourself. Do not go. Update: I lived in Bayonne at the time of this incident, and I definitely got lice from this place. Feel free to believe them and take a risk with your health, though! read more

I have a VERY short haircut so it has to be on point ! Monica rocks it every time. Any cut can look good the first couple days, it's what happens in the following weeks that is the real test of techniques....3 weeks out and I'm still happy read more

When you walk in just ask for Toni , I promise that is all you need to do and your hair will come out looking FAB. I started going to her when I was pregnant and she always knew how to make me look and feel amazing! Anything from color to extensions she slays ! Not only does she listen to what exactly you're going for but she takes her time with you and gives you 200% & mind you I'm VERY particular with my hair. Love her. I'll always go to her for any of my services. read more

This salon is amazing they make you feel comfortable and at home. They do such a great job! I totally recommend Joy, she does such an fantastic job on my hair every time. She knows what will look right she won't recommend anything she knows that won't look good. I'm very satisfied with my hair and will continue to go there ! read more

Saturday was my first experience at Hair Cutting Plus and it was an awesome one. First, the staff was super friendly. I made an appointment and was in the salon chair within minutes. My stylist Carlene did an amazing job on my hair. I have thick, long hair and although I was there for four hours (typical for the length and amount of my hair) the end result was great. They have gained a customer with me and I will recommend to anyone looking for color or cut! read more

Best salon in Bayonne. D, my girl is an experienced colorist. Knew exactly what I wanted without me even telling her. Yeah. We were in sync. After I left the salon I was extremely satisfied and have never received so many compliments before. Love it. Highly recommend it. read more

This is by far the best salon I have ever been to. I am very particular about my hair and I don't give second chances to stylists who don't give me the look that I asked for and who are "scissor happy". But, I have been a customer at hair cutting plus for about five years and regardless of who cuts/styles me, I always leave a very happy customer. Everyone is really friendly and professional and I highly recommend this place. :) read more

I use to go here for years. I usually get a wash, haircut, and blowout. A couple of years ago this would cost me $40, then it gradually increased and recently it cost me $60! Too expensive for such a simple hair cut. The salon is very nice and the staff is friendly. read more

Was recommended here by two girls that I work with...waited three hours for the operator and really wasn't impressed with the cut. Staff was very nice but were extremely unorganized. Definately not worth the money. Won't be going back anytime soon. read more

I've been getting my hair cut here for several years and really enjoy it. This is the first salon in town I've felt a sense of "loyalty" to. The women there remember my name and ask me how stuff in my life is going. I try to get there at least every six weeks, and my visit includes a wash, a cut and a blowout, all for only $40. I've seen other people get highlights and formal styles and they seem to come out really nice. The hours are pretty good, and they usually have a chair open within 20 minutes if I just walk in and ask for a cut (lately I've been making appointments, though). read more
