I have been going to Ruk since like 2015? 2016? And I normally go here 1-2 times a year. I moved to…read moreJackson 5yrs ago and still go all the way to Bayonne for her! It's hard to find someone who knows your hair! So, I've been going to her for a hot minute! I don't know why people are saying Ruk and her crew are not professional. They are talkative, relatable, and real people. Don't you want to feel comfortable esp if you're going to be In a salon for a few hours?? Honestly, I don't know Ruk's crew by name besides her daughter but I talk to everyone and everybody is great and super nice! Ruk is just a whole bunch of awesomeness. She knows I have no idea what the heck she's talking about when she's explaining stuff to me. But is trust her and give her full range on what to do. Whether highlights, lowlights, balayage, whatever! I know my hair will be taken care of and the products she uses won't damage my hair. They also added an addition to the salon. So, they also offer facials and eyelash treatment done by her daughter. This place is cool, hip, laid back, but get the work done. Depending on what services you get, expect to be here for a few hours too. Since this shop is in Bayonne, there is one street parking. My suggestion is to make your appt as early as possible to secure parking in the front or else you're going to end up driving around looking. I've suggested this salon to many people I know. I still suggest Ruk's salon to this day!

I made an appt with Ruk specifically via phone but she never touched my hair or even talked to me…read more I have no idea who did my hair. I actually saw the IG influencer Jeanne there who I know via her IG that she is a frequent customer. Ruk's entire attention was on this influencer. I guess it makes sense that the salon would care more about her than a new customer. However, it still felt a bit crappy. Just be transparent if there is no capacity or please set the correct expectations. I would have totally been OK waiting another couple of weeks if needed. There was another customer who came in for a consultation with Ruk and Ruk took about 1 hour to finally talk to her. Then when that customer was trying to book an appt, you can tell Ruk was trying to have the customer book with another salonist. When the customer then said that she was trying to book with Ruk specifically, Ruk then said sure.

The owner read my notes and understood to text me only and not phone. Little details are important. I had Fareeah who, was very friendly, professional and focused. She was patient in making sure I understood what was being said. The saloon itself is clean and cute. Parking was easy to find (I had a 11:15am appt on a Wednesday). They offered me tea and everyone from the receptionist office was friendly and welcoming. I got a wash, trim and Bantu knots. They came out cute and neat. I will definitely be returning to this location. The owner also was there and introduced herself. This place feels like family and well run.

I got my haircut at a different salon, and was so upset when my hair turned out choppier than I wanted and was really thinned out. My consultation and extensions were done by Gisella, who is very warm and wonderful! I talked her through what I wanted my hair to look like, and she gave me some suggestions on what I could do for a haircut and extensions. Everything was very reasonably priced. My appointment was scheduled for about two weeks later and, not only did Gisella salvage my hair, she ended up cutting and blending it to what I had originally wanted. I'm beyond satisfied and can't recommend Gisella and Paloma Salon enough!

I cannot say enough about Phylis…read more I came in desperate with severely damaged hair. It wasn't always that way as I used to have healthy hair but somewhere along the way it changed and couldn't recover. As a result I became the Queen of Pony tails. I will admit she did have to give me a mini intervention as I had to learn to trust the journey back to healthy hair which included bangs and wearing my hair down but 10 months the later, the proof is in the pudding as they say. It's almost unrecognizably different. My hair is full, shiny, limited shedding, growing and feels good. To top it off I'm in the midst of transitioning away from perm and still have this silky manageable hair texture (never thought that was even possible). Lastly to top it off, she genuinely cares about her clients like friends making it feel like your just hanging out with a good friend.

To spare the essay, I'll focus on the worst most disappointing part of the experience which was the…read moremanner in which the lead stylist Phyllis spoke to me about my hair. After agreeing to squeeze me into my scheduled appointment that she overlooked or wasn't aware of (scheduled for 12pm, sat at 12:25) and letting the shampoo girl start my blow dry, she launched a series of attacks against my hair in its natural state, remarking on its poor condition. When she told me that I needed a trim, I told her that I wouldn't be getting one at this appointment because I was still looking for a new salon. And one thing that I've learned over the years is that not everyone can cut or trim hair and after rereading negative reviews about her scissor happiness, I'm even more glad that I passed. By the end of my time in the chair she claimed that my hair hadn't been trimmed in 2-3 years despite getting regular trims every 3 months and in between protective/natural styles over the past 7 years. When I showed a reference picture of my hair blow dried she insisted that they would need to flat iron my hair to get it that straight and went on to say how I "clearly think I'm a hairdresser." Each comment about the dryness of my hair and deadness of my ends wasn't isolated or even paired with her approach to repair but was simply sandwiched with insult. By the end of the appointment, she ran the blow dryer through my hair in large sections, offered nothing to hydrate my hair despite going on about its dry state (no oils, sprays, lotions, creams, etc.), and did not charge me for the appointment. For everything that she said I asked if she had recommendations for how to go about caring for it (because I'm always open to new tips), and she offered nothing beyond just finding a place that can care for it and a flippant remark that she "doesn't know how I wear my hair." (That's typically a question asked at the beginning of appointments or at least through styling to identify problem areas, concerns with maintenance, etc.) Hair is too personal to have it be used as ammo by the same people self-proclaimed to be hair care professionals. I'm sure it's a great place for some women but I found it to be the absolute worst salon experience I've ever had
