Karla and everyone I consukted with was wonderful - highly recommend her and everyone at the salon.

I've been a regular at this salon for a while, but my recent experience left me frustrated. I called ahead asking for the exact formula or ingredients used on my hair. They refused to share any details, insisting that it's industry standard and they can't disclose product specifics. After pushing a bit, I spoke with the owner, who reiterated the same stance. They claimed it's just how the industry works and offered no alternatives beyond asking me to come in for another appointment. Pros: Consistent service and results I've had in the past Friendly staff during visits Cons: Inflexible about sharing product information or ingredients Lack of transparency and clear explanation when asked A bit of gatekeeping rather than offering options (e.g., general product categories, allergen information, or a sensitivity patch test) If you're someone who likes to know exactly what's being used on your hair (for allergies, ethical reasons, or personal preference), this policy can be disappointing. It would help if the salon could provide at least: A general list of product lines used (without proprietary formulas) Ingredient highlights and potential allergens Allergie/sensitivity screening and alternatives for future visits I'm considering whether to return and would love to see a more transparent approach. If they can offer a clear, customer-friendly explanation and options, I'd be more inclined to give them another chance. For now, I'll likely explore other salons that are more forthcoming about product details. read more

Very accommodating and Gina was quite helpful. Terrific facial. She really went out of her way for me.

A beautiful medical spa! Loved my facial with Edyta - she is very knowledgeable, professional and just plain fun to be with! I am definitely getting on a regular schedule with her. read more

We came in with a color emergency, and the care and talent we received went far beyond our expectations. The issue was resolved beautifully, and peace was restored in our home. I'm incredibly grateful--thank you, Jessica, for fitting us in the same day, and Jenn, for working your magic with such skill and precision. read more

Very pleasant salon Hairdresser are very good Appointments are right on time Highly recommend

Awful. They are happy with you leaving looking like a hot mess, but how would they know cause they don't even bother to check your color? ( Other than the senior level people, God help you if you schedule with mid level staff who are happy to take your money but cannot be bothered to see you after they slap on the color, move you to another place because they have another client, then have a very junior person put on a glaze and never see you again). The junior person was fine. The lady at the front was really indifferent to what was going on. This is not my time experiencing this level of awfulness. read more

First time meeting Dina, she was very friendly, easy to talk to, knowledgeable about curly hair. She answer all my questions about my hair. I am very happy with haircut and color. read more

Pricey for the quality of service/expertise. I got face framing highlights (in addition to other color services) and two weeks later I still look like a skunk. It's really bad. Personally would not recommend. read more

First time with Shannon and I came out feeling (and looking) fabulous!! She understood what I wanted, made me feel relaxed on arrival and did an incredible job on blow drying my hair!! Thank you! I've always used this salon and often recommend them whenever I get the chance!! read more

I had gotten a lot of recommendations for bridal services from this salon and I can see why. I am beyond impressed with how fantastic the bridal service is. I spoke with a few people and the communication throughout was on point. Shqiponje was my stylist and she surpassed my expectations not only for my trial, but single handedly made my bridal party and myself look beautiful the day of! She was a pleasure to work with, professional, sweet, and listened to what we all wanted. She was right on time, and had us all done and ready on time without any feelings of being rushed. It was an absolute pleasure having her. Prices were on par with other salons. You do have to pay in full 1 week prior to your wedding which was totally fine with me. They also include a 20% tip PP which again I was totally okay with. I highly recommend them and especially Shqiponje! read more

Dina is amazing! She's the only stylist I trust to tame my curls. I currently live in Charleston, SC and make trips twice a year to get cuts by her! read more

Sheri saves the day, again!!! Perfect cut every time!! Thanks for saving my hair!!! Great salon, very friendly staff!

Today was my first visit and it most certainly wasn't the last. Great experience and Dina cut my hair exactly how I asked. And the color is perfect. Shes a gem. Thank you! read more

I've gotten two cuts with Jessica at the salon and I wish I had found her and the salon sooner! Jessica is the nicest human ever and her cuts make you feel gorgeous. You can just tell she knows exactly what she's doing and it shows in the results, which helps me to feel at ease. I've also added conditioning treatments to my haircuts each time. The conditioning treatments include a scalp massage, are so relaxing, and make your hair feel like silk. So worth it. Thank you thank you for such an awesome experience!! read more

A wonderful full service salon. Lovely atmosphere and great service. They answered all of my questions and did a fantastic job

I have not done a thing to my hair in over a year, but Valentina remembered me and took such great care of me. I chose to do bangs for the first time in 10 years- and she warned me about the maintenance- but they look PERFECT. I haven't felt so good about my appearance for so long. Never forget self care!!! read more

Wonderful welcoming salon, competent skilled professionals. We are so fortunate to have them in Bernardsville

The team was awesome and did a wonderful job! They were on schedule, finished everyone before the cut off time and were so lovely! Everyone loved the end results, the hair styles stayed in place all night and everything was wonderful. The team was able to complete a group of 11 girls without any delays. We were all so happy with the end result, would recommend this salon to any bride for their wedding day! read more

Had a great experience with Nicole! Firstly, they opened at 7:30 for me. Secondly, she did a great job in a timely manner. She blew out my hair Did a full face of makeup plus lashes! At first I was worried because I'm in my mid 40's and I worried about getting cakey, but my skin looked great! She kept makeup classic and my hair styled just as I wanted. I told her to focus on my eyes as I feel They always looked tired and she did exactly that! Loved what she did! She opened them up with eyeshadow and whatever other magic tools she had in her bag. Highly recommend! read more

I've used several stylists at J Walker Salon over the years and they are all friendly, talented and professional. I needed a last minute haircut appointment and I was very fortunate that Nikola was available. I was a bit hesitant at first since I had never had her cut my hair but she was friendly and listened well to what I wanted. I received a lot of compliments on my haircut and have already recommended Nikola to a few friends. She will not disappoint, just like every other stylist at the salon. read more

Dina is consistently amazing - whether it's cut or color, she does a beautiful job every time. She's also fabulous at recommending ways to keep your hair healthy and how to style it. Wouldn't go anywhere else! read more

Had a very negative first impression here .. not the friendliest people and while getting my nails done (which were done very sloppily) I was insulted twice and also bled from how careless it was done. Even worse, she continued to use the same tools and did not even bother to wipe the blood off .. unsanitary and painful read more

Jean is meticulous, precise and delivers perfection every time. In addition, she's kind and creates a wonderful & calming experience.

I finally found an excellent salon. My stylist is Valentina and she is a gem. Always a perfectionist. Lilly is also a doll. She washes and messages my head, then uses hot rocks on my neck and back. She's very sweet. Everyone there is very professional. I highly recommend this salon. read more

Today I took my 14 year old for a standard cut I've had hit or miss results but she really wanted a haircut and after using them for 15 years I figured ok. The issue I have is that they were playing wildly inappropriate music that my 9 year old and I had to hear. It was a cardi b song that was more vile than I've heard as a chef of 21 years in a kitchen. I had to find the stylist to turn it off. There was another staff member there who was equally as clueless. The owner sent an email half apologizing but honestly my two kids are disgusted for the older one and the younger one got a fast life lesson on a half dozen curse words she didn't need to know and is now asking for definitions. I'm no saint but to have that filth at a hair salon is not excusable nor is there lack of apology. Too bad bc the only good service that was consistent was the keratin treatment . read more

Excellent experience every time I go. Gerson is very talented, knowledgeable and professional! My hair looks great every time he does it. He really knows and understands hair and color. Other great stylists there too! The hair wash is a relaxing experience too, always with a massage. All the assistants do a fine job. read more

The end product was sufficient for our purposes but overall I would not recommend this facility for bridal hair or make-up unless your tastes align with the common trending moment. Only half of the bridal party received hair styles requested and generally we felt we were being pigeon-holed into the style of the moment. Additionally, not all policies are listed in the website so make sure you ask many questions, and if you require hair extensions bring your own. Overall, the experience felt chaotic, rushed, and very impersonal, leaving a sour feeling amongst the bridal party until sometime later in the day. Probably the only real regret we had for the day/weekend/wedding which was unfortunate given initial interactions planning the day. Edit: Had a phone conversation with the owner who was inquisitive and pleasant. I'm sure they will use any constructive information from our interaction to inform future interactions. read more

I go to the men's​ salon they own. Kelly is awesome​. I love this​ place. ​Jessia is a great business​ person. They do a great​ job and are committed​ to providing ​a ​wonderful first class service. read more

Dina Bove has been cutting my hair for nearly 15 years. I always get tons of compliments on my cut, color and styling of my hair. I consider her an expert in cutting curly hair and styles it beautifully. This fully service salon and spa offers a variety of services at reasonable prices. The salon itself is very clean and the staff is always friendly. I like that they send me a text message the day before reminding me of my appointment. read more

I am extremely happy with Amanda. She is a great colorist and stylist. She listens to what you want and does a great job, she is also very sweet , polite and is always on time.... She gets 5 stars The salon is beautiful and the staff is very friendly. I gave it only three stars because the prices are quite steep and they do not offer complimentary trims . Although I was getting my color done, I had to paid for a full haircut appointment ($60+) just to get a trim. read more

I came here a few weeks ago for a blow out since I had purchased a deal on groupon. The blow out was fine. However, when I made an appointment for my next blow out I received a call the day of and only 2 hours before the appointment from the stylist stating the management had advised her to inform me that if I wanted the same stylist it would be an additional $55 to blow my hair out and if I used a different "blow bar" stylist it would be $25 in addition to the groupon deal and this would be per visit due to the length and curl of my hair. The groupon deal offered had NO conditions such as the ones above that "management" wanted to impose. There is no deal to impose $55 for a wash and blowout in addition to a groupon...just ridiculous! Also, calling a client the day of, within 2 hours of apt is so inconsiderate! I guess the deal was targeted towards people that already have straight hair! btw, they charge an extra money if you want them to use a flat iron in addition to blowing out your hair. This is the first place I've heard of that charges to go over straightened hair with a flat iron. read more

I was fortunate to meet Jessica Walker through our mutual networking group several years ago and I have never been so happy with any salon as I am am with J Walker! The attention to detail from time of making your appointment, until you leave feeling amazing, is like no other! When I first decided to try J Walker, rather than taking me on as her customer, Jessica, referred me to Dina explaining that she has very curly hair, as I do, and is amazing! I was extremely impressed with my first consultation with Dina and she truly is an expert with curly hair. When I thought I was losing my curl, she showed me that I wasn't and taught me that it was all about the way I blow dry my hair and the type and amount of product to use. Everyone is so friendly, helpful and welcoming from the receptionists, assistants, and stylists! Oh and a great big shout out to Lily who give the absolute best spa shampoo/massage on the face of the earth! Also, Wendy who does my nails and moves heaven and earth to accommodate my schedule! I can't imagine going to any other salon! 5 star treatment all the way! read more

As a follow up to my recent (poor) review of this salon, which I deleted, because Jessica, the owner, immediately reached out to me and offered to redo my hair, free of charge! Jessica took the time, out of her busy day, to contact and fully express her desire to rectify our initial displeasure and I have an appointment next week!! This is a fantastic salon with complete customer satisfaction as priority number one. read more

$38 for a boy's haircut is ridiculous. Wasn't even a good cut. Will never go back. I called ahead to askanout pricing. They told me $28-30. I'm used to paying $28. Very disappointed. read more

I have been a client of Plaza for several years. Angela is outstanding! My color and cut are always perfect. I get consistent compliments and refer many a friend. My hair has been varied lengths and styles and Angela is always willing to guide my risk-taking with a professional eye. Jess the owner always has a kind smile and warm welcome. Lil, provides the best head massages while washing hair and the front desk staff are professional & knowledgeable. read more

I've been going here for a couple years and absolutely love it. I'm used to haircuts in Manhattan and Newbury street in Boston, and this salon more than meets the quality I get there. I have Justine cut my hair, and she does a great job every time, cutting it exactly to my specifications. The salon itself is also very nice. It's very clean and modern, with coffee and tea available. Overall, I highly recommend Plaza Salon. read more

Love, love, love this place! I followed Valentina here and I'm so happy I did! You can't go wrong with Valentina for great color or a nice cut, but everyone here definitely seems to be at a certain level, so I don't think anyone could walk out of here without looking amazing. Awesome shampoos with the head massage are a plus!! read more

I like this place. I've been looking for a salon to do foils and a hair cut for years. I lived in Short Hills & Summit for 10 years and could never find a place. I moved to Bernardsville 4 years ago and this place is perfect. When you drive by the outside, it's an ok looking house. But when you go inside, its up-to-date and beautiful with dark brown floors, wide white moldings, nice mirrors and work stations. It's not snobby or uptight. Comfortable and nice. I'm meeting my sister in NYC today and just called them for a foil appointment. They said they could do me at 12. I said, "any earlier"? Then they said I could come in at 10:00 am. How about that. Great customer service. Go to Plaza. It's a winner. read more
