I was very optimistic for my color/haircut appointment because of the great reviews, but…read moreunfortunately, my haircut with Kyle was the worst of my life. I showed Kyle MULTIPLE pictures of the shape/style I wanted and specifically said I did not want my hair to have a choppy, V-shape. This is EXACTLY what I got. Immediately after leaving, I went to another hair stylist in an attempt to correct be disaster. Kyle thinned my hair so badly that the other stylist was shocked. While my hair was being colored, I was very uncomfortable because the two stylists were speaking about me in their native tongue. Even the color, which I was initially happy with, came out uneven in the back. Kyle seemed like a nice guy, but in retrospect, I should have refused to pay the $180 for this horrendous experience. I will never come back.

I used to really like Muse, but my most recent experience at Muse left a lot to be desired. I went…read morefor a partial balayage touch up after having grown out my hair without any glazing or maintenance for the past 6 months. The balayage had grown in beautifully and I had no complaints other than wanting to redo the roots and darken the color since it lightened up over time. Chelsea had done such an excellent job before, and I was excited to book my touch up with her. Everything was fine until Chelsea blew out my hair and it came out way too light-lighter than the color I had come in with. She drastically overlightened my hair and had to glaze me twice-something I don't think either of us were expecting. After the second glaze the final color was improved but still seemed to miss the mark of what I hoped to achieve. In any case, a week goes by and I notice that my hair lightened up several shades with brassy undertones after only 2 washes with a color safe shampoo. I was confused considering I just had it darkened. When I called to express that I was unhappy with the color, the manager quickly got in contact with me and offered to fit me in the same day to correct it. When I came into the salon, Chelsea had already mixed the colored glaze before seeing my hair or discussing it with me. She didn't ask me what my concerns were and immediately had someone else apply the glaze to my hair. After Chelsea glazed me again, the color was improved but inexplicably light/blond in certain areas. She applied a bit more of the glaze to some of the lighter portions which helped improve the color a bit more. When I asked if she could dry me with a curl instead of drying straight she very tersely told me "I don't have time and this is free so..." as if I hadn't paid ~$300 10days prior for a coloring service that failed to meet my goals. She also didn't finish drying my hair and only dried the front sending me out with damp hair in the back of my head. I left the salon upset about how much time and money was wasted on a frustrating experience with mixed results. This experience has turned me off to this salon. I will not be returning for services in the future. The good: responsive management The bad: inconsistent service with unprofessional/borderline rude stylists and high price tags

She puts such detailed effort into her work, and it always makes me feel so confident that it'll turn out perfectly.

So it's a great salon to come and unwind. Quality: 5 I've booked with Zoey twice~ the first time was for Japanese hair straightening and the 2nd was just a hair trim. My hair ends are really dry and Zoey did a really good job helping the ends heal. The straightening came out looking really good too! Service: 5 I felt respected as a guest and Zoey took the time to understand what I want and to understand my hair's needs as well. I didn't feel like she rushed through the entire process. Booking is easy since I just text her! I recently moved to Edison and have been looking for a go to hair stylist. So happy to find one and will gladly go again!

The price was outrageous. For the services I got done, I usually pay $190 at my usual salon. I paid $350!!! And that did not include the tip. This was my most expensive trip to the salon -- ever. There was a dog in the salon the entire time, and I had dye all over my neck, my ears and my forehead when I got out. I'm no stranger to getting my hair dyed (I usually keep it red) but the amount of dye I had on my skin just reflected the lack of attention to detail. For the price point, I would've expected more. More everything: attention to detail, professionalism and a better ambiance. Won't be returning. If you want to spend an exorbitant amount of money on a mediocre haircut and dye job, go ahead. I wouldn't recommend this place to students in the area however. If you're looking for a balayage or highlights, you might have a better experience than I did (most of the pictures on their site are of those kinds of dye). My hair might be on the website now, I remember some pictures being taken of my hair... I won't deny that it looks great, but my wallet was left hurting despite the fact that I had a mediocre experience and a tough time getting dye off my skin for the next week.

I can't even fall asleep…read more Called the salon today to make an appointment and was so sad to hear that my talented hairstylist Allen no longer works here. Receptionist asked if she can assign me with someone else. I said anyone but Jimmy (owner). My son and I had him once before and he did not do a good job. When I walked in today, they gave me Leo. He took over Allen's station. I asked for 2" off with lots of layers to give my hair some volume since I have very thin hair. Leo showed me how much he would cut off and I gave him the go ahead. I thought Asians are supposed to be great at math but holy shhhh he started cutting and cutting and cutting and it got shorter and shorter. At this point it was hard for me to say something. Pretty sure that he cut off FIVE whole inches. Not only did he cut off 5" but the layers he gave me were very choppy, it looks like he hacked it with a saw. The receptionist came by to sweep up my hair with a dust pan and my eyes were bugging out because I was in shock at how much he cut off. I spend an obscene amount on high quality hair products at home to keep my hair healthy. Now it looks like shhhh. Never in my entire life have I ever gotten such a bad cut. I know it's just hair and it will grow back but I felt I need to write this review to warn others. When layers are trimmed, it should fall softy and naturally. He also thinned out my ends so much that it looks weird. OMG!! I can't!! The strange thing is, all the best stylist at this salon, Allen, Ben, Jackie left. Now I will have to go into NYC to find a new salon. This has traumatized me.

The pricing was clear, and transparent, which I also appreciated. I was told upfront how much service would be, as well as any fees for cards. Staff was helpful and attentive and seriously blew me away at the haircut I got. I even got a snack! Seriously, if you're hesitant, don't. They are incredibly nice, fast, and accommodating. I feel confident and happy with my haircut (Thanks to Allen) and will surely be back! Would highly recommend this spot!
